Qingluan held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and tied a red silk to the ancient tree with the other.

Unfortunately, I tried to tie it two or three times but failed.

Anyway, how could she tie it with one hand? Her hands weren't that flexible.

She looked around and saw that other women wearing red silk had maids holding umbrellas for them, but she... was just a maid, so who could hold an umbrella for her?

Forget it, just get wet.

Qingluan put the umbrella on the ground and stretched out her arms to tie the red silk on the tree.

Looking at the red silk fluttering on the tree, the corners of her lips curled up.

She turned around to pick up the oil-paper umbrella on the ground, but unexpectedly, when she turned around, she bumped into a solid "wall."

Qingluan quickly took a few steps back.

Apologize in your mouth: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

But when she glanced at it inadvertently, she was stunned.

"Xiao Jingyan? Why is it you?"

Qingluan said in surprise.

At this moment, Jamel Xiao stood behind her, and the heights of the two formed a sharp contrast.

Xiao Jingyan held up an umbrella and wrapped the two of them under it.

"Why can't it be me? You can come but I can't?" Xiao Jingyan said with a smile: "Do you have a crush on someone? Let me see who he is~"

As he said this, he was about to reach out to lift the red silk that Qingluan had just tied.

"No...don't..." Qingluan blushed and immediately reached out to cover it.

As luck would have it, the red silk didn't cover it, but covered Xiao Jingyan's hand.

Her delicate little hands looked out of place when wrapped around Xiao's big hands.

Her cold fingertips received a warm breath, which instantly made her pretty face blush.

Jamel Xiao interrupted the awkwardness and put down his hand.

"Forget it, it's your secret. If you don't want me to know it, I can't force you to know it."

Qingluan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought to herself: Fortunately he didn't force it anymore. If he saw the name on it, she would be so embarrassed.

At this moment, the red silk was floating in the wind and rain, and the ink stains on it were soaked by water so that it was impossible to see what was written on it.

"Are you here to seek marriage too?" Qingluan picked up the oil-paper umbrella from the ground and left Xiao Jingyan's umbrella.

"of course."

Xiao Jingyan admitted it generously, then hung the red silk in his hand on the tree and bent it.

Qingluan looked up subconsciously.

"Qingluan".

The two words on the red silk were particularly eye-catching, and she was stunned for a moment.

When she came to her senses and wanted to confirm again, the ink stains on the red silk had been washed away by the water. Only ink stains mixed with rainwater were visible at the bottom of the red silk, dripping down with the wind.

"Want to know whose name I wrote?"

Qingluan shook her head nervously: "No, that's your secret, I don't want to know."

But she held the oil-paper umbrella tightly, and her fingers were becoming increasingly stiff.

She was not mistaken.

It was indeed her name on it.

"It's raining so hard and the weather is so cold, why don't you put on more clothes, Miss Qingluan?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Jingyan took off his cloak and put it on Qingluan's shoulders.

Qingluan had never been treated like this by any man before. She had always been a carefree and cheerful person, but now that she encountered this, her heart felt like a bunch of deer were running around in her head.

Nervous and shy.

After a long while, he squeezed out a few words: "Thank you, Commander Xiao."

"You're welcome. You and I both share the burdens of the prince and princess, so it's only natural that we help each other."

Xiao Jingyan asked again: "Miss Qingluan, do you still want to sign?"

"No, I won't ask for it."

The two of them went down the mountain together.

......

When they came back, the rain had stopped, night was falling, and it was already time for dinner.

Qingluan slowly walked to the door, gently took off the cloak she was wearing, and returned it to Xiao Jingyan beside her.

When their eyes met, there seemed to be a subtle emotion flowing.

Then she stepped into the teahouse.

Shen Li, who was waiting for dinner in the teahouse, saw two people walking side by side from the door.

Just now, she heard from Qingzhi about Qingluan going to the temple, and she already understood a little bit.

Seeing this scene, she suddenly understood what was going on.

Shen Li smiled, took Qingluan's hand, and said in a friendly tone:

"Oh my, my dear girl, when you get married, I will carefully prepare an extremely generous dowry for you! You will marry in glory!"

Hearing this, Qingluan's cheeks suddenly turned as red as ripe apples, and the crimson color spread all the way to the base of her neck.

She lowered her head and responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Princess, please stop teasing me..."

Although there was a hint of shyness in her words, she could not conceal her joy.

"Haha, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is the natural order of things. Now that you have your ideal partner, this princess is naturally happy for you!"

Shen Li smiled and turned his gaze to Xiao Jingyan beside him, with a cunning look in his eyes.

She deliberately raised her voice and said to Qingluan, "If you ever get married and your husband dares to bully you, just tell me and I'll make sure he's in big trouble! I'll take care of it for you!"

When Xiao Jingyan heard this, he couldn't help but tremble all over and shrank back suddenly in fear.

You know, even the majestic prince in his family couldn't do anything to the woman in front of him, so how could he dare to provoke her easily?

"Thank you, Princess." Qingluan said.

Yun Chenyu was not a fool either, he also saw the difference between Qingluan and Xiao Jingyan.

He turned around and glared at Xiao Jingyan, as if to say: I haven't dealt with the princess yet, but you've dealt with her girl first...

Jealousy filled his pupils.

......

After resting for a night, the sky cleared up the next day, and Shen Li and his companions set off back to Beijing.

The first thing Yun Chenyu did after returning to the capital was to go to the palace to meet Emperor Xuanyuan.

Emperor Xuanyuan knew that Yun Chenyu and Shen Li had gone to the villa to "relax."

I didn't expect you to come back so soon.

"Yu'er, didn't you go out with the princess to relax? How come you're back so soon? You've been away from home fighting for years. Now that you have some free time, you should spend more time with her, deepen your relationship, and let me hold my grandson soon."

Yun Chenyu said: "Father, something happened."

Yun Chenyu truthfully reported to the emperor the matter of Yun Yin's private salt mining, and also produced the salt-taking documents with his seal.

Emperor Xuanyuan was very angry when he heard this, and he slammed the table hard.

"This rebellious son! Is he planning a rebellion?"

In Yunyan, the salt industry was controlled by the imperial court, and privately mining salt was a capital crime.

This guy actually disregarded Yunyan laws for money. This is outrageous!

"Father, I have taken control of the salt mine. Everyone inside is also under control. They can be summoned by the Dali Temple at any time."

"Okay, okay." Emperor Xuanyuan raised his hand and ordered, "Come here! Bring that rebellious son Yun Yin to me. I want to question him personally!"
