The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

A primal, instinctive urge suddenly arose in the prince's heart, a desire to gently kiss those pink lips.

But I quickly suppressed my thoughts, and only my ears slowly turned red.

After Qin Wanying finished drawing her eyebrows, she began to sigh at the Crown Prince's face, which was so ugly that it angered both heaven and man.

He has excellent bone structure, with a high nose bridge and deep-set eyes.

His face was handsome and gentle, very pure, like the melting snow on a mountaintop.

Moreover, from the current angle, Qin Wanying is looking down at him from a superior position.

Qin Wanying wanted to bite those red lips, but felt that doing so would be a desecration.

The two looked at each other.

At that moment, the air went silent, and Qin Wanying involuntarily held her breath.

Qin Wanying quickly straightened up and moved away from the Crown Prince.

"I'm sorry, I was not paying attention and got too close to Your Highness."

The crown prince also turned his head away awkwardly.

The makeup was done in no time.

After the prince was disguised, he was completely unrecognizable as the original person; he looked quite ordinary.

Qin Wanying looked at her masterpiece, smiled and nodded, very satisfied.

Qin Wanying put on her veiled hat, took Chunying with her, and set off.

Qin Wanying's bodyguards were all at the Marquis's residence and did not come with her.

Who would dare bring a shadow guard to the Crown Prince's residence?

The Crown Prince sent twenty shadow guards to follow them secretly.

A carriage with a blue cloth curtain was parked at the main gate of the Crown Prince's residence.

The prince, disguised as a guard, strode over and bent down to place a footstool on the ground in front of the carriage.

He then stood up, lifted the carriage curtain, and bowed, saying, "Miss, please get in the carriage." Today, he had replaced his usual gold crown with a blue cloth strip, and even his cuffs were tied with ordinary wristbands.

Qin Wanying was stunned for a moment.

The Crown Prince has really started playing role-playing games!

Seeing her standing there motionless, the Crown Prince looked up at her, lowered his voice, and smiled, "Miss, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. What if people outside notice?"

That makes sense, and there's no way to refute it.

So, Qin Wanying reluctantly boarded the carriage.

After Qin Wanying boarded the carriage, the Crown Prince waited until Chunying also boarded before releasing his grip on the curtain.

He sat at the front of the carriage and drove it himself.

When the carriage started moving, the guards hiding not far away were practically speechless.

They had followed the Crown Prince for many years and had seen him use the imperial seal to review memorials and wield his sword to kill assassins, but they had never seen him holding a hemp rope while driving a carriage.

The most problematic thing is the way the Crown Prince bent over to put down his footstool; his posture was even more perfect than when he bowed to foreign envoys last month.

It was one thing for the Crown Prince to disguise himself as Miss Qin's guard, but he actually bent down to put down a footstool for her, lifted the carriage curtain, and even drove the carriage himself, serving her like a servant.

This is unprecedented.

That's the crown prince, you know. He's always been waited on hand and foot, and he's been served by others since he was a child. Yet now, he's willing to lower himself before a woman.

He couldn't help but look at Qin Wanying with newfound respect.

Fei Yu's injuries had mostly healed, and he secretly followed the Crown Prince.

Seeing the Crown Prince's attitude towards Qin Wanying, she thought to herself that she hadn't been wronged when she was beaten before.

Qin Wanying and Chunying felt extremely uncomfortable inside the carriage.

She had ridden in a horse-drawn carriage countless times.

It was the first time they had ever ridden in a carriage driven by the Crown Prince.

The carriage was driven very steadily. Qin Wanying pulled back the curtain and peeked out. Even though the person driving the carriage was dignified, he exuded the air of someone in a superior position.

Qin Wanying secretly lifted the curtain.

The man in front cracked his whip as if he were reviewing an imperial edict, the reins taut in his hands.

Seeing that his knuckles were turning white from straining so hard, she couldn't help but smile.

[He's even taking playing a guard so seriously. It's a waste of his talent to be a guard; he should be a martial arts performer in a Peking Opera. Hahaha.]

The Crown Prince was not annoyed when he heard Qin Wanying's thoughts, but his cheeks flushed slightly.

They arrived in no time. The Crown Prince steadily parked the carriage, dismounted gracefully, bent down and placed the footstool under the blue-curtained carriage again. He lifted the curtain and said gently, "Miss, we have arrived. Please get off the carriage."

When Qin Wanying met the Crown Prince's humble smile, her submissive demeanor was truly comparable to that of a servant.

She smiled awkwardly, then stiffly stepped off the carriage.

Chunying went to unlock the copper lock in Tianji Garden.

This was the Crown Prince's first time visiting Tianji Garden.

He parked the carriage and looked around.

They discovered that a large crowd of people were watching them.

Qin Wanying and Chunying were already used to it; every time she came, there were always people watching.

The Crown Prince sighed inwardly, "Qin Wanying is indeed renowned among the common people; her fortune-telling is accurate, and her reputation is well-deserved."

All five people today were booked in advance. Qin Wanying had the Crown Prince's permission to come out for fortune telling today, and she sent someone to schedule the time yesterday.

Qin Wanying and her group arrived early; there were no guests yet when she arrived.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and dew still clung to the stone slabs in front of the Tianji Garden.

Qin Wanying watched as the Crown Prince picked up the iron kettle and walked towards the charcoal stove, a chill running down her spine—this man had already gone too far driving the carriage, and today he was actually going to perform boiling water!

"Your Highness, we're already inside. We can't see from the outside, so there's no need for you to act like a guard so seriously."

The Crown Prince found Qin Wanying's appearance quite amusing.

As if to tease her, he placed the kettle on the heater, turned around, and stood with his head bowed: "It is my fault for not doing well enough to please you, Miss. I will definitely try my best to correct my mistakes and serve you well."

Qin Wanying: ? ? ?

You've really gotten hooked on acting!

Chunying, standing to the side, was trying very hard to suppress her laughter.

The shadow guards on the roof beams and in the back room were already in a daze.

Your Highness, what's wrong?

It won’t be possessed by someone else, right?

He's too immersed in the role!

Qin Wanying rubbed her forehead.

Fine, if he likes to act, let him act.

After a while, the water was ready, and the prince brewed a pot of tea.

Qin Wanying secretly glanced at the Crown Prince. Although he was only dressed in the black clothes of an ordinary guard and had disguised himself, his temperament was as elegant and noble as usual.

His pale fingers carefully used a teaspoon to scoop the dark green tea leaves from the container, even his tea-brewing movements were elegant.

After the tea was brewed, he poured it for Qin Wanying.

The scalding hot tea was poured into the celadon cup, steaming as it rose.

The prince smiled and bowed slightly: "Miss, the tea is too hot. Please drink it later."

Qin Wanying was speechless.

I was about to reply with "Yes," but I held back and just said "Okay."

The gate to Tianji Garden was not closed.

Qin Wanying looked outside and saw a man peering curiously inside.

The man was probably around twenty years old. Judging from his clothes, he didn't seem to be a wealthy person. He probably wasn't there to have his fortune told; he was just curiously looking around from the doorway.

However, Qin Wanying was used to being wary.

She stared at the man for a few seconds, and her eyes lit up.

There was an unexpected bonus!

This man's name is Teng Ming, and the things in his house can influence the course of the battle!

Qin Wanying stood up and said to the man at the door, "Sir, do you want your fortune told? Please come in quickly!"
