Reborn, meet you again!

After Song Wan sat down in the pavilion, she played mahjong with Fang Yuan and two other ladies, but she did not see Su Ziyao for a long time.

Instead, he saw Song Yan.

She still looked like she didn't like to join in the crowd. Instead, she sat alone under a corridor, leaning against the railing and feeding the carp below.

But not long after, a man in a light blue brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns suddenly appeared behind her.

"Miss Song San."

When Song Yan heard the noise behind her, her hand that was feeding the fish paused noticeably.

Then he turned around and bowed politely to the visitor.

"Prince Wei."

Wei Lin seemed to be in a very good mood because of seeing Song Yan. A beautiful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, making him look even more elegant.

"Miss Third, there's no need to be so polite."

"It's been a while since we last met. Is Miss San all right?"

She hadn't seen Miss Song for nearly four months since her accident.

Today, he received news from Aunt Wen that she would come to the Marquis' Mansion to attend her coming-of-age ceremony, so he rushed over to see her.

Moreover, according to her aunt, she has already agreed to consider marriage with him and is willing to have more contact with him.

Although his mother was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that he fell in love with the prime minister's concubine's daughter.

But he didn't care about that.

In his eyes, she is the most special and beautiful woman in the world. She is always so quiet, not fighting or competing, and is peaceful and calm.

But he could understand the poems and paintings she wrote and drew.

He knew that although her face looked calm and indifferent, her heart contained emotions that were stronger and more turbulent than those of anyone else.

Song Yan looked at Wei Lin in front of her, but there was not much joy in her eyes, she just spoke calmly and politely.

"Thank you for your concern, Prince. I'm fine."

"I had originally agreed to the invitation from the Crown Prince a few days ago to go to Tingyu Tower to attend a poetry gathering. Unfortunately, I caught a cold the night before and was unable to attend. I hope the Crown Prince will not blame me."

The aunt arranged that meeting for her because she saw that she had agreed to carefully consider the marriage with Wei Lin but had been hesitant to take action.

But she already had other plans in mind, and naturally didn't want any rumors to spread between her and him, which would cause trouble.

He soaked in cold water for half an hour, which really caught him a cold, but he used the excuse of being sick to shirk responsibility.

Wei Lin just said with great concern after hearing this.

"Attending the poetry gathering is just a small matter, no need to worry about it. I wonder if the third young lady has recovered from her cold now?"

Song Yan just nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, my Lord. I am fine now."

Only then did Wei Lin feel relieved.

"That's good."

"Half a year ago, I played a game of chess with the Third Miss at the Minister of the Central Secretariat's residence. I was still not satisfied. I wonder if the Third Miss would be willing to play another game with me?"

Song Yan naturally didn't want to do that.

But after all, she had promised her aunt, and her aunt had conveyed her intention to Wei Lin. She had just broken the appointment, and now that the person was in front of her, it would be a bit unreasonable for her to refuse.

I could only force a smile.

"Of course, please, Prince."

Anyway, since Prince Yun hasn't arrived yet, playing a game of hand-to-hand with him shouldn't take too long...

……

The noise in the garden continued until Pei Yujiao completed her coming-of-age ceremony and arrived with Pei Qingyan, leading a group of people.

Walking in the front were Yun Zheng and Jun Jiuchen, as well as Shangguan Yu, who was dressed in white and waving a folding fan in his hand in a very handsome manner.

The group quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the garden.

Pei Yujiao was dressed very cutely today. She was standing one step behind Yun Zheng, introducing something to him with a shy look on her face. Her usual spoiled look was completely gone, as if she had become a different person.

Pei Qingyan followed Jun Jiuchen somewhat stiffly.

But even so, he was happy in his heart.

After all, this was the first time that Jun Jiuchen had participated in such a banquet since he came to Beijing, which could be said to have given the Marquis' Mansion enough face.

presumably……

It's for the Queen Mother's sake.

Moreover, Prince Huai is here today as well. With these two present, the coming-of-age ceremony at the Marquisate can be said to be extremely dignified.

He had not been able to raise his head in the court a few days ago because of the constant harassment from those people in the Censorate. Now he can finally hold his head high.

And all this is thanks to Jiahe. Thinking of this, Pei Qingyan's eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

As the saying goes, marry a virtuous woman.

Abandoning Jiang Wanqiao, that jealous woman, and welcoming Jiahe into the family was the best decision he had ever made.

While Pei Qingyan was thinking, the group had already arrived at the center of the pitching pot.

Pei Yujiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately spoke to Yun Zheng in a hoarse voice.

"I heard that the prince is an excellent archer, and can shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away. I think pitching pots should be no problem for him as well."

"I wonder if the prince could show us some of his skills to broaden our horizons?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a wave of echoes.

Song Yan, who was looking for a secluded corner to play chess with Wei Lin, also caught a glimpse of the figure she had been thinking about day and night.

Suddenly, he became a little absent-minded while playing chess.

Wei Lin seemed to have noticed her abnormality. He raised his head and looked at Song Yan with some confusion, then followed her line of sight towards the center of the garden, and then said thoughtfully.

"What happened to the Third Miss?"

"But you think this place is too noisy? Why don't we go somewhere quieter?"

Song Yan naturally didn't want to leave. Her heart had already drifted away with that man's arrival. At this moment... she just wanted to be by his side.

After thinking it over in her mind, she looked at Wei Lin with some apology.

"Your Highness, you're worrying too much. I came out today because I was sick recently and felt a little bored staying in the mansion, so I came out to relax. Now, after sitting for such a long time, I feel a little tired and want to walk around."

"How about...we go down here today?"

"Your Highness can also talk to other young masters you are familiar with."

Wei Lin finally found an opportunity to be alone with Song Yan, and he was naturally reluctant to leave, but when he heard her words, he felt a little guilty.

She had just recovered from an illness, and he should have noticed her discomfort earlier. He shouldn't have just cared about his own interests and forced her to play chess with him.

Thinking of this, Wei Lin quickly put down the chess piece in his hand and looked at Song Yan with tenderness.

"I didn't think it through."

"Since Miss Third wants to walk around, I'll accompany you for a walk."

Seeing him like this, Song Yan had no choice but to nod.

"it is good."

She would find another excuse to separate from him later.

As the two men stood up, cheers came from the place where the pot was being tossed.

Pei Yujiao looked at Yun Zheng with admiration.

"As expected of the prince, three of them in a row are all leaning on the pole."

The young men who were watching also laughed.

"With this vote from the prince, no one should be embarrassed to make a fool of themselves today."

"Your Highness, you're not leaving us any chance of survival."

Yun Zheng just smiled gently.

"You are all too kind. Everyone has his or her own strengths. I just happen to enjoy studying archery."

"Besides, the joy of pitching pots is to cultivate one's character, not to compete for superiority. Winning or losing is not important. Today is a good day for the Marquis's Mansion, so everyone should just enjoy themselves."
