"Miss Lily, do you know why the princess invites me to come?"
Along the way, Ning Shuiyuan could feel the envious glances from others.
He enjoyed it very much.
Enjoy the sight of being envied, looked up to, admired and feared by others.
But he still maintained a humble and gentle smile on his face.
Lily shook her head when she heard this, "Sir, I don't even know this."
Ning Shuiyuan responded and asked casually:
"In the past, Miss Shaoyao was the one who attracted me, but I didn't see Miss Shaoyao today. The last time I was in the mansion, Miss Shaoyao said that the cook in the mansion was very good at her craftsmanship, and she wanted to learn how to make cakes for the princess to taste."
"Don't you know, sir?"
Baihe asked subconsciously, then suddenly remembered and smiled sheepishly, "I almost forgot. Your Excellency is not in the palace, so I don't know. Shaoyao is sick. I heard it can be contagious, so I moved to the hospital overnight."
Already."
When Ning Shuiyuan saw Lily saying this, his expression didn't seem to be fake. There was a flash of contemplation in his eyes, but a sudden smile appeared on his face, "That's it."
Baihua Pavilion is not far from the flower viewing feast.
The two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at the door.
Before I even got close, I smelled a very strong floral fragrance.
Lily stopped and made a gesture of invitation, "Master Ning, the princess is waiting inside. You can just go in."
Is this... actually going to meet him alone?
Ning Shuiyuan couldn't help but be stunned, but his heartbeat speeded up unconsciously.
"Okay, okay...thank you Miss Lily."
With that said, Ning Shuiyuan walked towards Baihua Pavilion.
After walking around a corner, Ning Shuiyuan saw the two palace maids guarding the door at a glance. He felt an indescribable sadness and disappointment in his heart, but he hid it well.
The two palace maids stood on both sides, both with their heads lowered. When they saw Ning Shuiyuan coming, they did not salute, they just made a gesture of 'invite'.
Ning Shuiyuan nodded, thanked him, and walked into the pavilion.
For such a long journey, Ning Shuiyuan was so polite and approachable that no one could fault him at all.
When people see him, they can't help but sigh, what a handsome young man.
Ning Shuiyuan quickly walked into Baihua Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, the palace maid standing on the right side of the door slowly raised her head after he entered. Her eyes were full of surprise, doubt, sadness and resentment.

"Jiu'er, what did you just say? Say it again!"
Su Xuanyan wiped away the wine from the corner of his mouth without caring, and looked at the villain, with excitement in his fox eyes.
"Just...let Brother Hang pursue the second sister, Uncle Huang, is there any problem with this? Isn't it allowed?"
Su Jiu tilted her head and looked at Su Xuanyan with some confusion, as if she didn't understand why Su Xuanyan was so excited when he heard this.
Su Xuanyan completely lost his previous elegance at this moment. He even gave up the jade bone fan that never left his hand. He slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! Yes, why not? Of course, you are indeed your biological child, Jiu."
My son and Uncle Huang actually thought of going together!"
After saying that, Su Xuanyan raised his hand and patted Hang Zongzhi on the shoulder, "Boy Hang, look, Jiu'er has spoken, which means that you and that girl Jingyi look like a couple at first sight."
Hang Zongzhi glanced at the eyes of the two people who were looking forward to it, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Quick, quick! I'm almost dying of thirst. Ye, please hurry up and get me a glass of water!"
These days, Su Rong'an almost travels between Shanfeng Village and the palace. Occasionally, he has to go to the palace to show off, so as not to be discovered, which consumes a lot of internal energy.
Ye Momo glanced at Su Rongan, then turned around and went to the kitchen to pour hot water.
Su Rongan put down the empty teapot on the table and sat down on the stool, panting.
"When I came here, I saw a lot of excitement in the Royal Garden from a distance. Fifth Brother, you didn't even join in the fun."
Soon, Ye brought a pot of water, but because it was too hot, Su Rongan still couldn't drink it, so she simply opened the lid of the teapot and put it on the window to let the cold wind blow.
From beginning to end, Su Rongan's voice was the only one in the room.
Su Rongan had long been used to it. He glanced at Su Lixun who was reading a book and silently took out a few porcelain bottles from his arms.
Su Lixun stopped turning the page and raised his beautiful fox eyes with questioning eyes.
"I went to Shanfeng Village and saw that the people in the village have been well settled. The children have all gone to school, and some people have found jobs so that they will not starve to death..."
Su Rongan felt ashamed of the people in Shanfeng Village.
In just a few days, after seeing how well the people in the village were living, Su Rong'an's guilt was reduced a bit.
"I am not an ungrateful person. There are some things here that can save your life. You can hand them over to Su Jiu on my behalf."
This was the first time that Su Rongan called her name.
Su Lixun glanced at the bottles and jars on the table, "Do you still have the medicine from last time?"
Su Rongan suddenly became alert and subconsciously covered his chest.
"No, Fifth Brother, you want my life!"
Su Lixun's fox eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Su Rongan's frightened look, he suddenly smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking."
"..."
It's not like you're simply asking.
"Fifth brother, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just that this medicine is really rare. This time you leave the affairs of Shanfeng Village to Su Yunqing, and the fourth and fourth brothers will naturally fall under his command, which will be even more detrimental to our plan.
…”
Su Rong'an couldn't understand Su Lixun's intention, but he knew that no matter what decision Su Lixun made, he would trust him and follow him, "If something goes wrong by then, I don't want to watch you die."
Hearing Su Rong'an say this, Ye couldn't help but look at it more.
Su Lixun looked deeply at Su Rong'an, his fox eyes showing no emotion at all, "I understand."
"I finally said such sensational words, Fifth Brother, you really don't give me any face!"
Su Rongan shook off the goosebumps all over her body and curled her lips and said.
At this time, a pigeon landed on the window and pecked at the wooden window with its sharp beak, urging it a bit.
As if understanding human nature.
With a serious look on his face, Ye walked to the window, grabbed the pigeon, and removed the paper strips tied to its feet.
"Then what does it say?"
Su Rongan stretched his neck.
Ye met Su Lixun's gaze and moved her lips, "As expected by the Ninth Princess, the person who paid for the murder is Lord Ning's adoptive mother, Zhou Juan."
