Yihonglou is right by the Yudai River.

In the early morning autumn rain, the Yihong Building seemed to have been washed away the remaining rouge and gouache from last night, becoming fresh and beautiful.

A carriage stopped in the large courtyard of Yihong Building, and three girls got out of the carriage.

Wen Xiaowan pointed at this building, "It's bigger and more impressive than our Ningxiang Pavilion in Guangling City, but the business we do is the same."

Shen Qiaodie was shocked when she heard this: "Is he going to sell me to this building?"

Wen Xiaowan smiled slightly: "You are overthinking. It was not his intention to bring you here, nor was it to sell you to this building, but because someone missed you."

"……who?"

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Shen Qiaodie was shocked. The Shen family used to be a well-known merchant family in Guangling City, but just this year, during the autumn grain issue, Li Chen'an set up a scheme to make the family bankrupt and almost destroyed.

The most noble person she has ever come into contact with in her life is the third lady of Zhongli Mansion in Guangling.

She originally wanted to come to Kyoto to find Huo Shufan, because Huo Shufan's father was a close minister of the prince, and the Huo family seemed to have some relationship with the powerful Prime Minister's Mansion.

She didn't know what dirty trick Li Chenan had used to deceive the emperor, and he was actually rumored to be the emperor's eldest son!

But she knew this was absolutely impossible!

Because as Li Chenan's ex-fiancée, she knows Li Chenan very well.

This is the crime of deceiving the emperor!

Once successful, Li Chenan will be exterminated!

The revenge of the Shen family can be avenged, and the resentment in the chest can be eliminated!

She never expected that when she arrived in Kyoto, she would meet Wen Xiaowan, the former leader of the Ningxiang Pavilion, and she never thought that the first person she would see when she arrived in Kyoto would be His Highness the Third Prince!

She was a little uneasy.

After all, the prince's status is too high.

In addition, the news that he came to Kyoto was supposed to be known only to the Huo family, but how did it reach the ears of the third prince?

"……What exactly is this for?"

"First come with me to take a bath and change into dry clothes. As for why, you can ask His Highness the Third Prince later."

…

…

In the backyard of Yihong Building, in an elegant small building facing the Yudai River, the third prince Ning Zhiyuan looked up and down at Shen Qiaodie curiously.

At this moment, Shen Qiaodie has washed away her travel dust and put on a goose-yellow skirt and jacket.

Her face still looked a little tired, and although she didn't apply gouache or even wear a headdress, it still couldn't hide her already moving beauty.

She said a long blessing to the third prince, and then stood there with her head bowed and extremely nervous.

After a full ten breaths, a voice came to her ears:

“It’s really not bad.”

"I invite you here with no other intentions and no malice. I am just curious about why you canceled the marriage certificate?"

"Look how uneconomical you are doing this!"

"He is now the eldest royal brother of this palace, but of course he is not on the surface yet."

"If you had not returned the marriage certificate, you would have received the warmest reception at the South Gate. The place where you live now is the famous Plum Garden in Kyoto."

"Come on, come on, sit down, tell me what you were thinking at that time?"

Shen Qiaodie felt very uncomfortable.

Who would have expected that this guy would suddenly transform from a fool into the eldest son of the emperor?

If I had known earlier, how could I have been stupid enough to cancel the marriage certificate?

I'm afraid I wish I had entered the bridal chamber early.

"Little girl...confused!"

She didn't dare to talk about Li Chenan's past because she didn't know what the third prince's intentions were.

Of course she didn't dare to sit down, because that was the dignity engraved in her bones.

Ning Zhiyuan suddenly smiled, "Are you really confused?"

Shen Qiaodie sighed for three breaths and nodded.

"Then if I advise the eldest brother... I feel that the eldest brother is a person who judges people by their appearance. Your beauty, well, is slightly inferior to that of Miss Zhongli, but it is already a rare beauty."

"If the eldest brother can change his mind, are you still willing to rebuild the old relationship with him?"

Shen Qiaodie was stunned for a moment, and the chance encounter at the south gate of Kyoto just before that popped into her mind.

Thinking about it carefully now, Li Chenan was greedy for her beauty, probably just because of the huge gap in status, so he said that he would definitely not marry him, not even as a concubine.

If...if His Highness the Third Prince could give him some words of advice...Shen Qiaodie suddenly found that she could not hate him, and she even had hopes for it——

He is the poet immortal of Ningguo!

He’s the Deputy Chief of the Imperial City Department!

I heard that the future Imperial City Division will be handed over to him!

If he still has the status of the emperor's eldest son, even if it is rumored, his future will definitely be unlimited!

In addition, behind him is the Dingguo Hou Mansion...

Such a husband was something that I had never even dared to think about!

If we can rebuild the old relationship with him, not only will the Shen family be saved, but we will also be able to live a happy life in the future.

As for Huo Shufan, he was left in the dark by the powerful Shen Qiaodie.

Because she seemed to have a glimmer of hope again.

Ning Zhiyuan has been looking at Shen Qiaodie. At this point, he has understood that this task has been completed.

Sure enough, Shen Qiaodie said another blessing in a formal manner, with a shy look on her face: "If Your Highness can fulfill your wish, this little girl will never forget Your Highness's kindness!"

Ning Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand, "After all, you have had an engagement before, which is a good thing."

"He is now leading his troops to suppress the bandits. When he returns in triumph, this will be another great achievement!"

"In the future, you will have endless glory and wealth."

"During the days when he comes back, I will temporarily aggrieve you and live here."

"Because he still has many enemies in the court. If someone knows about your relationship with him, unnecessary trouble may arise."

Shen Qiaodie thought about it and felt that there was no reason for this noble man to lie to her, so she agreed casually.

Ning Zhiyuan left this small building.

Shen Qiaodie was really worried about living here.

Ning Zhiyuan returned to the palace, and went to his mother's Baihua Palace.

There was an autumn rain today, and Concubine Li was not hoeing the ground in the garden, but was sitting in a small pavilion.

The tea was fragrant, and she played the piano.

The sound of the piano was wafting, and she suddenly opened her mouth to sing. The song she sang was "Tian Jing Sha" written by Li Chenan.

After singing the song, Ning Zhiyuan happened to come in.

He met his mother and concubine, and then met his sister who was sitting at the tea table making tea. He walked over, bowed and said: "The matter is settled, mother... Could it be that he is really not Queen Lu's son?"

Concubine Li stood up, sat in front of the tea table, and looked at Qiu Yu outside the window, "I've told you three times, don't ask this question again in the future!"

"...The kid understands."

"How about the girl?"

"It's pretty cool, but why do you do this?"

Concubine Li reached out and took the teacup handed over by Ning Shuyu, "Because he already has a lot to do, there is no need to add more unnecessary trouble to him because of such a woman!"

"He is climbing a mountain, and my mother is just clearing out some vines for him."

"...then why not kill that Shen Qiaodie?"

"He has to make his own decision."

Ning Shuyu raised her head at this time and asked unwillingly and incomprehensively: "Why did mother want to help him?"

Concubine Li put down the tea cup and whispered in a very serious voice: "What does your father mean?"
