Naturally, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

In the previous life, I was an insignificant person.

In this life, there is an extra bond and a few more intersections, but she doesn't think there will be anything between them.

She said calmly, "I saved His Highness, and His Highness saved me. Our relationship has become closer."

"perhaps,"

She smiled, "From now on, Your Highness can be my support."

The capital is a place where wealth, power and status run rampant. It is always good to have someone backing you up.

"I'll be the best to rely on."

He repeated her words, looking at her deeply, "Miss Su, is there anyone in your life that you miss?"

Su Manman frowned.

His words seemed to be testing something.

Could it be that he knew something and came to her to find out Yoyo's whereabouts?

“In everyone’s life, there are always a few people who are worth cherishing and remembering.”

She caught him in the middle of his words and tried to comfort him, "Your Highness needs to understand that many people are just passers-by in your life. Once they leave, Your Highness should let it go."

“What if I can’t let go?”

He stared into her eyes and questioned her.

That look, as deep as the sky at night, draws people in. They stare at it infatuatedly, almost unable to control the throbbing in their hearts.

"If you can't let go, try to let go."

She did not avoid his gaze, but met his gaze, "Your Highness, a forced melon is not sweet."

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly, his eyes darkening. "Miss Su, you seem to be very experienced in this area."

Su Manman was stunned. She didn't hold the teacup steadily in her hand, and the cup tilted, spilling the tea onto the back of her hand.

She threw away the teacup in panic and shook the water off the back of her hand.

He handed her a plain handkerchief and said in a teasing tone, "Why are you so nervous?"

Su Manman hesitated for a moment, then took the handkerchief and wiped the tea off the back of her hand with a fake smile: "Your Highness, please understand. I've been in the countryside for a long time, and I've heard and seen a lot of family matters, so I know a lot more."

"Then..." He poured her another cup of tea and handed it to her.

Su Manman was slightly stunned and reached out to take it, but he didn't let go.

She tugged, but he still didn't let go.

Su Manman frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What is the meaning of your action, Your Highness?"

"you……"

With a solemn expression, he asked word by word, "Teach me how to forget?"

Zhuifeng and Qingluan looked at each other at the door, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Su Manman was in a complicated mood.

Who would know that His Highness the God of War of the Great Qian Kingdom would be so infatuated?

She exerted her strength and snatched the teacup away. "You can always forget it if you want to."

For example, how did she die in her previous life?

She just couldn't remember it.

Perhaps that was what she wanted to forget.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, "Your Highness, let's start playing chess."

There are many things to do today.

No time to chat with him!

The two of them had a tacit understanding and said no more. They set out the chessboard and started playing chess.

……

In a private room on the second floor, Su Jiaojiao's face, beneath her veil, was as radiant as a peach blossom. Her fox eyes gazed at Ye Zhi lovingly, and she called softly, "Your Highness, what is the matter with inviting me here this time?"

Ye Zhi drank tea, his eyes revealing Su Jiaojiao's fox eyes, and smiled calmly: "I have heard that the second young lady of the Su family is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If not, let's play chess for a while."

Su Jiaojiao lowered her head shyly to show her agreement.

The two also started playing chess.

In the chess game, men's style is good at attacking, opening up new territory, and seizing everything by force.

Women are best at defense, with defense as the main focus and attack as a supplement.

So, soon, Ye Zhi gradually gained the upper hand in the situation between the two.

Su Jiaojiao praised at the right moment: "Your Highness Prince Jin's chess skills are superb. I am willing to admit that I am inferior to you."

"You're not bad at chess, either."

Ye Zhi also praised her, which made Su Jiaojiao's eyebrows smile and she was very happy.

"But Your Highness is a little curious..."

Ye Zhi said, "What on earth can your eldest sister do?"

The hand holding the chess piece hesitated slightly, and Su Jiaojiao felt inexplicably nervous. "My eldest sister was weak when she was young and couldn't go to private school."

"My father invited a teacher to come to our house to teach. My eldest sister spent six or seven out of ten days lying on the couch, unable to study, and gradually she fell out of love with her studies."

"After that, my eldest sister went out of town and only came back half a month ago. I really don't know her very well."

"But I heard from my parents that Jiangyang is a small place with a harsh environment and open-minded people."

"Hey!"

She looked gloomy and sighed deeply, "If it weren't for the unrest in the Su family back then, a monk would have come to visit the house and seen through the ominous things that happened to my eldest sister."

"Father wouldn't send her that far."

"Your Highness..."

Su Jiaojiao blurted out the words and quickly reached out to cover her mouth through the veil, "Father, for the sake of my eldest sister's reputation, has always claimed that my eldest sister went to Jiangyang to pray for the whole family."

"My poor father, out of his love for his daughter, earned a good reputation for my eldest sister, but for so many years he himself has been burdened with infamy."

"I shouldn't have mentioned this to Your Highness today."

Su Jiaojiao hesitated and said, "But I am a daughter, and I feel sorry for my father."

"He has done so much for his eldest sister, but she doesn't seem to appreciate it."

Ye Zhi originally wanted to find out whether Su Manman knew the art of divination, but he didn't expect to hear so many inside stories.

He didn't respond to Su Jiaojiao's words, and said to himself: "She is a pitiful person."

Beneath her sleeves, Su Jiaojiao twisted her hands together, her face still gentle. "Eldest sister is quite pitiful. Everyone thinks she's doomed. What's going to happen to her in the future?"

"I'm afraid no one among the wealthy families in the capital wants to marry her."

"Bah!"

Ye Zhi's black piece landed heavily on the chessboard, his expression growing colder. "Tea has been drunk, chess has been played, and the show will begin soon. Miss Su will watch first."

He stood up.

He didn't know what she had done wrong, but he was clearly a little angry.

Su Jiaojiao stood up in a panic, "Your Highness, don't we watch the show together?"

"No!"

Ye Zhi was still gentle and polite, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Highness will leave first."

As soon as he went out, he noticed with his sharp eyes that the green figure flashed around the corner of the stairs.

Ye Zhi's eyes were filled with surprise as he quickly caught up.

Su Manman walked out of Tingyue Tower and headed towards the carriage under a tree nearby.

"Miss Su..." the man's cheerful voice came, "Wait a moment."

When she turned around, it was Ye Zhi.

She bowed slightly and said in a clear voice, "What does your highness want from me?"

"You are such a forgetful person!"

Ye Zhi said with a smile, "You have an appointment with Fourth Brother today?"

Su Manman did not respond.

It's considered an admission.

"I have no objection if you want to meet up for something."

He felt a little jealous. "But we agreed that I'd wait for you. What? If I don't see you, are you planning to leave like this?"

She had indeed forgotten him.

"Your Highness, I don't remember how well we knew each other."

She stopped and asked back.

“People naturally become familiar with each other as they interact more and spend more time together.”

In this life, he is not only shameless, but also smooth-talking.

Su Manman took a long breath and said, "Tell me, what's the matter, Your Highness?"

"Tell me the divination."
