Looking at his calm smile, Shi Xiaoxi felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

There is always something about Nan Yichen that makes her feel at ease. This is the so-called sense of security.

Women want to be cared for and loved by a man who cares about her like this.

Shi Xiaoxi was actually very afraid that Nan Yichen would not show up, because among the several men, she was the only one who felt that marrying Chenchen was a good choice.

Shi Xiaoxi sat down next to Nan Yichen. Everyone else felt extremely surprised and constrained, but no one raised any questions. After all, it was quite strange for a princess to sit in the main seat and watch a group of men.

Nan Xuanze snorted softly and cast a provocative smile at Xi Guanyue, "Well, there is someone in the princess's heart, and we are just foils for the show."

Xi Guanyue ignored him at all. He just stared silently at the pair of smiling people. They had such a gentle and tacit understanding, as if the two people were meant to be together.

"Chenchen, you need to eat more, you have lost weight." As if to confirm Xi Guanyue's thoughts, Shi Xiaoxi actually brought Nan Yichen the food himself, and everyone else looked at Nan Yichen's bowl with envy.

"You should also eat more." Nan Yichen smiled helplessly, she was still so straightforward and casual.

Shi Xiaoxi also smiled, like a bright sunflower, which dazzled everyone who saw him, but was extremely warm.

"You've been out for so long and didn't know you were coming back. Did you bring me a gift?"

Her naughty tone made Nan Yichen laugh, and he looked back with a low smile, "Of course I brought it."

"Yes, princess, we all brought gifts." Someone from the ignored crowd made a voice.

Shi Xiaoxi looked at him calmly and found that it was a very handsome young man, but she didn't recognize him.

"Who are you?"

Mr. Qingjun introduced him, "I'm Bei Jihong."

Shi Xiaoxi couldn't help bursting out laughing when he heard this, "Polar bear? It's so interesting for people from the Baling Kingdom to have names."

Beijihong didn't know why the princess was laughing, and her expression was a little dull for a moment.

"Princess, please pay attention to your appearance." Nan Yichen looked at Shi Xiaoxi angrily, knowing that she must have had a wrong idea again, just like the dishwashing lady that day.

"Hmm, hehe, can you all introduce yourselves?" Shi Xiaoxi suddenly felt that this lunch had become interesting.

When everyone saw that the princess's attention had shifted and was no longer focused on the second young master of Nanyi, they all became more energetic and introduced them one after another.

"I am Prince Donggu." Prince Donggu smiled and nodded. He looked at Shi Xiaoxi with a more playful look.

This princess cousin is more beautiful and interesting than before. It's really interesting.

"Yes. I know you." Shi Xiaoxi replied with a shallow smile. She had heard about the people in the boss's family. Even though she had never met some of them in person, she still heard their names.

"I am Donggumu, the third brother of Prince Donggu." A cold-looking man introduced himself coldly. He had a feeling that the thirteenth princess would definitely smile. Her name, without her surname, would be Gu.

Tomb. When I was a child, I was often laughed at.

Seeing his serious face and serious smile, Shi Xiaoxi couldn't help but smile, "It's very similar to my family's name, Mu Mu."

Donggu Mu was startled when he heard this, Mu Mu?

Everyone introduced them one by one. Just when it was Xi Guanyue's turn, the princess fell asleep with her chin propped up.

Everyone was collectively dumbfounded.

This princess can fall asleep like this, and she was chatting and laughing with them just a moment ago.

Nan Yichen frowned and stepped forward to feel her pulse. After a moment, his brows furrowed even more.

"Xiao Shu Xiaoli, help the princess go back to rest quickly."

"Yes." Xiao Shu Xiaoli quickly ordered someone to bring the soft couch and send the Thirteenth Princess back to Yiqing Courtyard.

This lunch also ended early because the princess fell asleep, and everyone was a little confused about the treasures that had not been given away.

This princess is not sick, right? Why is the look on the face of the second master of Nanyi so serious?

In the Yiqing courtyard, Xiao Shuxiaoli was extremely anxious, and Nan Yichen's expression was as cold as the ice in winter.

"How long has the princess been like this?"

Xiao Li thought about it and said, "Recently, the princess seems to not get enough sleep every day. She sleeps on the bed and can fall asleep standing or sitting. Second Young Master, what's wrong with the princess?"

In the past, princesses would not be like this. In the past, princesses would yell that the bed was not soft enough, the pillows were not fluffy enough, the quilt was too hard, and the humidity in the room was too humid to sleep. Every day before going to bed, she would always think of ways to chat with Guard Mu for a long time.

Only then would he sleep.

Nan Yichen didn't look very good and said in a low voice, "Take good care of the princess and don't tell anyone about it."

"Yeah." Xiaoli nodded assuredly.

Nan Yichen left quickly, used Qinggong in a deserted place and quickly headed towards the highest point in the imperial city.

Munan was already waiting for him, and immediately went to greet him as soon as he saw him coming.

"Did you get the stuff?"

Nan Yichen nodded and whispered, "I only collected three of the seven fragments. How are you doing there?"

Munan shook his head regretfully, "Nothing was found on the Queen Mother's side, but only this jade key was found on the Queen's side. Who do you think the other four fragments are on?"

"Your Majesty? How could it be that you didn't go to the Emperor to find him?" Nan Yichen wondered.

The national treasure was lost more than ten years ago. The theft left only seven fragments and a mysterious key. At that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne, and the seven fragments disappeared inexplicably before he could do anything.

In order to prevent the world from panic, the emperor kept it secret, but privately he was looking for the seven fragments. Unfortunately, more than ten years later, he still found nothing.

"What do you think?" Munan chuckled, and he turned over every corner of the palace.

"I'm afraid we're running out of time. Xiaoxi has been very lethargic recently. I'm really afraid that she won't survive until she is twenty." Nan Yichen's expression was very sad, and he felt deep self-blame in his heart.

Munan remained silent. In fact, he went back to see her every night, but she was sleeping deeply and didn't notice.

If the cost of becoming beautiful was her losing her life, he would rather she remained the carefree, sometimes naughty and talkative fat girl.

"Did you gain anything from today's treasure giving conference?" Munan asked again. In fact, today's treasure giving session was completely arranged by them behind the scenes in order to find clues to the seven fragments.

Nan Yichen shook his head, "She fell asleep before we started. What if the treasures are still in their hands."

Munan looked up at the sky and said, "Let Xiaoxi collect the treasure tomorrow. That girl will be very happy."

Nan Yichen laughed. Is Xiaoxi as greedy for money as he said?

Suddenly there was a strange noise from the city tower, the two looked at each other, smiled, and left.
