The four of them sat on the second floor. For the first time, Su Xinyuan witnessed what it meant to have three women put on a show. His ears were never quiet, always filled with the sound of them discussing charity items.

After looking for a while, Shen Nanyan felt very bored. There were either hidden weapons or vases and paintings, and none of them were anything that would make people's heart beat fast. So she suggested going out for a walk so that she could return the place to Su Xinyuan. But just when the three were about to leave, a ruby ​​swallowtail butterfly gold hairpin appeared on the table below. Shen Nanyan, who didn't care about jewelry, was fascinated by the hairpin at first sight and stopped unconsciously.

"But you like this?"

Su Xinyuan knew what his cousin was thinking at a glance, and Princess Chunxi also turned around and looked down.

"Hmm... Master Wei Yanzi's golden hairpin with swallowtail butterfly is a good thing."

Wei Yanzi is a famous jewelry craftsman in Shangjing. Even the ladies in the palace are eager to get the jewelry in his hands. However, not many people can actually get it. I just don’t know how this gold hairpin appeared here.

"Cousin, do you think my mother would look good in it?"

"That's natural."

"I want."

"Okay, buy it."

The three of them sat down again. When the charity sale started, the atmosphere was instantly boiling with people bidding up the price one after another. Su Xinyuan just watched coldly until a hairpin was bid for one thousand taels. Then the number of people bidding up the price gradually decreased. You know, one thousand taels for a hairpin was already a sky-high price.

"One thousand one hundred taels."

The shout came from a room opposite. The man directly added one hundred taels, and it seemed that he was determined to win. Sure enough, the scene fell silent in an instant. Just as the shopkeeper was about to finish, Su Xinyuan glanced at Zhonglu, and Zhonglu understood and walked to the railing and spoke.

"Two thousand taels!"

"Wow……"

There was an uproar downstairs!

Everyone looked up at the second floor, but they only saw Zhonglu and Su Xinyuan sitting at the edge, and could not see the three girls in the room.

Princess Chunxi and Fan Yujun also showed a hint of surprise on their faces. They didn't know that Su Xinyuan was so generous just because Shen Nanyan said "I want it".

"Two thousand five hundred taels."

The other party raised the price again.

"Three thousand taels."

At this time, the green gauze tent opposite slowly opened, and the third emperor's grandson Lu Yichen and Yue Hanzhou came into view. They had frosty faces and looked at Su Xinyuan coldly. If it were in the past, Su Xinyuan would have knelt down, but now he was different. After seeing the two of them, he didn't even get up from the chair, but just smiled and nodded.

"Four thousand taels."

As both sides stared at each other, the Third Grandson's men raised the price again.

The third grandson of the emperor felt that he had made his identity clear, and under normal circumstances, the other party should stop. After all, he was a member of the royal family, and who would dare to go against him?

"continue."

Su Xinyuan opened his thin lips slightly, Zhonglu stretched out two fingers and made a gesture of lighting a sky lantern. Everyone in the audience held their breath. Yue Hanzhou stood up directly, walked to the fence and looked at Su Xinyuan. Just as the two were secretly playing a game, Princess Chunxi suddenly stood up and stood in front of Su Xinyuan.

"The county lord."

"Little aunt."

Lu Yichen also stood up.

"General Yue, take away your gaze. This princess doesn't like it."

"Princess, please forgive me."

Yue Hanzhou quickly controlled his emotions, took two steps back, and stood aside with his head down.

"Why is my aunt here?"

The third grandson said this with a smile, but Princess Chunxi did not like his flattering look.

"There's no sign on the gate saying I'm not allowed in."

"I have said too much. How about this? I will give this hairpin to my aunt."

"Isn't that ridiculous? We've already lit up the sky lanterns, and you're just saying we're sending them off now."

"Wasn't that a misunderstanding just now? If I had known it was my aunt, I would definitely not have done that. Don't worry about it, leave it to me and I will keep the hairpin in your hands."

Princess Chunxi was about to refuse, but turned around and looked at Shen Nanyan.

"it is good."

This was something Lu Yichen himself offered to give, and no one asked him for it. He couldn't refuse something that was delivered to his door, otherwise he would be letting Lu Yichen down.

Sure enough, the four of them had been sitting in the room for less than an incense stick of time when the door was knocked. Lu Yichen came in with Yue Hanzhou, and their eyes fell on Shen Nanyue at the same time.

"I didn't expect Miss Shen to be here too. What a coincidence."

"Where's the hairpin?"

Princess Chunxi interrupted him and asked for the hairpin directly. Lu Yichen hurriedly handed over a box. When he opened the box, the ruby ​​swallowtail butterfly gold hairpin was lying inside.

"Alright, I'll take the stuff. I won't argue with you about this. We have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

"Aunt, it's a rare opportunity to meet you. How about I invite you all to the Seven Stars Tower for a gathering as a token of my appreciation?"

"Who's free? I told you we have things to do. How can your hearing be so bad at such a young age? Go eat by yourselves."

She is Lu Yichen's elder. When Prince Xing was young, he had made great contributions. Now he often goes in and out of the emperor's Qinzheng Palace as if he were going back to his own home. Moreover, her brother is an official in the court. Therefore, Princess Chunxi does not take Lu Yichen, who has no real power, seriously at all.

"Yes, my aunt is just so carefree. Let's make an appointment another day. I'll be the host."

Princess Chunxi glanced at him and responded. She didn't want to have anything to do with a villain like Lu Yichen from the bottom of her heart.

"Let's go, it's getting late."

The other three followed Princess Chunxi and were about to go out, but when Shen Nanyue went out, the smile on Lu Yichen's face deepened.

"Is the injury on Ms. Shen's hand feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine now."

Shen Nanyan's voice was unusually soft, with the reserve and shyness of a young girl. She timidly looked up at Lu Yichen while speaking. Just this one glance made Lu Yichen's heart beat fast. On the contrary, Yue Hanzhou on the side was extremely angry. Shen Nanyan had spoken harshly to him time and time again, and even deliberately set a trap for him, but she seemed like a different person when facing Lu Yichen. This kind of differential treatment made him feel very unbalanced.

"I'll host you some other day, and you must...you and Princess Chunxi must come."

"I'm leaving."

Shen Nanyan didn't agree directly, but the joy on her face made him feel that Shen Nanyan was looking forward to meeting him again. But what he didn't know was that Shen Nanyan's face changed as soon as she went out, and the discomfort in her heart almost made her vomit.

Lu Yichen stood at the door, looking at Shen Nanyan's slender back, with desire in his eyes without any restraint, and this scene looked particularly disgusting to Yue Hanzhou. He was close to Lu Yichen purely because he wanted to show his face in front of the prince, not because he really wanted to be friends with Lu Yichen. Now that Lu Yichen had feelings for Shen Nanyan, he had even greater resentment towards Lu Yichen.

After getting on the carriage, Princess Chunxi gave the phoenix butterfly hairpin to Shen Nanyue.

"Just think of it as me sending it to Aunt Su."

"That's my mother. You took all the credit."

"Well... never mind. I'm giving it to you anyway. What can you do to me?"

"What can I do? Just accept it. It's worth several thousand taels of silver."

Princess Chunxi looked outside the carriage, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and she was in a very good mood.

When the two men sent Fan Yujun back to the Fan Mansion, the sun had already set. They looked at each other and finally decided to go in with Fan Yujun. They had to establish their authority in front of the Fan family and make Fan Yujun's life more comfortable.
