Like Xiao Yiran's family, Zhao Heng, the third prince who returned to the palace, came to Princess Yinghui's mansion, and the sisters and brothers were also talking about the trip to Tianbo Mansion during the day.

"Sister, what my brother said is true, right?"

"It's true that the daughter of the Xiao family is a talented woman, and that Lin Chen doesn't seem to be as good as my brother said."

"My sister didn't understand it yet, and in a hurry, Lin Chen didn't have a chance to show her talents. However, listening to Lin Chen's meaning, I will take the exam next year, and then my sister will know that what I said is not bad. ”

"Does my brother have a crush on the daughter of the Xiao family?"

"Sister, don't you think Xiao Yiran is a good girl?"

"Yes, it's just that the daughter of the Xiao family seems to be a little too close to Lin Chen."

Hearing Yinghui say this, Zhao Heng also frowned. Obviously, he could also see that Lin Chen cared unusually about Xiao Yiran.

It turned out that today's Tianbo Mansion was from Zhao Heng's meaning. Since the Double Ninth Festival met Lin Chen and Xiao Yiran in the Chrysanthemum Garden, Zhao Heng has a special impression of Xiao Yiran, but as a prince, it is not convenient to take the initiative to approach them. That's why I remembered to ask my aunt Lord Cheshire to come forward and invite us to gather in Tianbo Mansion. As for inviting Mrs. and Miss Shoshu of the Ministry of War, as well as Mrs. and Miss of the Ministry of Works, it was Yinghui's idea. Because of the names of the two young ladies, it has already reached the ears of Princess Yinghui, and I just took this opportunity to get to know each other.

"What does my brother think of Miss Cai's family and Miss Li's family?"

"They are all rare ladies for a while."

"Hehe, my brother can't have any thoughts at a young age, right?"

"What a young age, just a year younger than my sister."

"If my sister thinks it's not bad after Lin Chen is out in the coming year, it is better to ask the queen mother to implore my father and the emperor, and Yucheng will be you."

"Again."

After all, Yinghui is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and she is inevitably shy when it comes to marriage.

"If my sister is embarrassed to say it, my brother can find a queen mother for my sister."

When Zhao Heng and Princess Yinghui were discussing Xiao Yiran, Lin Chen and others, Xiao Yiran was worried about the handkerchief that he had washed by himself in the room. Xiao Yiran knows that between young boys and girls in this era, the meaning of one side of Jinpa. In Tianbo Mansion, Xiao Yiran had already seen a trace of strangeness from the eyes of the third prince Zhao Heng, intentionally or unintentionally. In Xiao Yiran's heart, there was already Lin Chen's shadow, and taking a step back, even if there was no Lin Chen, Xiao Yiran would never accept the prince's overtures. It is said that Houmen is as deep as the sea, not to mention the palace with sinister hearts.

"Miss, whose handkerchief is this?"

Xiaoxi and Xiaoxing watched the young lady get up in the morning and after cleaning this Jinpa, they have been staring at Jinpa and pondering. Both of them recognized that this was not Miss's veil, so Xiaoxi asked suspiciously.

"It's someone else's."

Xiao Yiran subconsciously replied.

"Miss likes it very much?"

Xiao Xing could see from Miss's face that Miss didn't stare at it because she liked it, but asked on purpose.

"Who said I liked it?"

"That young lady has been staring at the handkerchief since the morning, and she has been watching it for a long time."

"Well, I'm worried about how to get it back."

"It's just a handkerchief, why do you have to return it?"

Xiao Xi seemed to see something, glared at Xiao Xing, and asked Xiao Yiran tentatively:

"Miss, don't you like the owner of the handkerchief?"

"I don't like it, I just don't want to leave the veil behind."

"Is Miss worried about causing a misunderstanding on the other side?"

After all, Xiaoxi is in her twenties, so she naturally understands Miss's worries. Seeing that the young lady nodded, Xiaoxi continued:

"If it's really hard to return it in person, just keep it first, and wait for the opportunity to ask someone else to return it on your behalf."

Before the beginning of winter this year, I went to college several times in succession, but after the beginning of winter, the weather improved. Not only is the weather clear, but the temperature is getting warmer and warmer, just like the weather in spring. By the end of October, Xiao Yiran had gradually forgotten about the banquet in Tianbo Mansion, and even the handkerchief that was put away, Xiao Yiran rarely remembered it anymore. On the morning of the third day of November, Xiao Yiran, who was practicing the piano in his room, suddenly received an invitation from Princess Yinghui to invite him to the princess's mansion.

From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yiran does not hate Princess Yinghui, but has a good impression of the other party. In fact, even if Xiao Yiran didn't like Princess Yinghui, he didn't dare to refuse an invitation from a princess. Immediately ordered Xiao Xing to inform Xiao Qing to prepare the car, came to the front yard and returned to her mother Sun, took Xiaoxi, and took the carriage to Princess Yinghui's mansion.

When Xiao Yiran arrived, he happened to meet the carriages of Cai's Mansion and Li's Mansion at the door, and understood that Princess Yinghui had invited Miss Cai and Miss Li over at the same time. Under the guidance of the princess's subordinates, after coming to the living room, I saw Princess Yinghui talking to Miss Cai and Li, and it seemed that the two had been here for a while.

"Yiran has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Sister Yiran, I said it last time, don't call me a princess, just call me Sister Yinghui."

"Yes, Sister Yinghui."

"Come and sit down. Yun Ying's two younger sisters have been here for a while. ”

Xiao Yiran and Cai Yun and Li Ying saluted each other before sitting down in the seat next to Li Ying.

"Three sisters, I invited you here today, there is nothing to do, I just think the weather is good, everyone gets together and talks casually. Don't be inhibited today, just treat me as your usual playmate. ”

All three girls smiled and nodded in agreement. The four girls drank tea and ate the exquisite snacks in the palace, and soon put down their reserve and chatted warmly. Of course, the main topic is what they are reading, what female celebrities they are, and so on. As he spoke, he inevitably turned to Xiao Yiran again.

"Sister Yiran, you might as well tell us how my sister became familiar with the four books when she was two or three years old."

Cai Yun looked at Xiao Yiran, and Xiao said sisterically.

"Yes, little talented girl, I'll tell you about it."

Princess Yinghui also said playfully.

"Three sisters, I only knew the words for a few days, and at that time, I only knew most of the words in the four books, and it was not like the rumors outside, I was familiar with the four books."

"Sister Xiao, don't be humble anymore, I heard about it from Lin Chen's son."

When Zhao Heng's abrupt voice came, the three girls hurriedly got up and bowed to the three princes who had already come to the front.

"Why didn't you report when my brother came?"

"What else do you need to report when you come to my sister?"

As Zhao Heng spoke, he casually walked to a chair and sat down. Xiao Yiran's face immediately turned red, because the chair Zhao Heng was sitting on happened to be the one he was sitting on just now. Xiao Yiran knew in his heart that this was by no means Zhao Heng's unintentional action, it was obviously intentional. Xiao Yiran lowered his head, not daring to look at the faces of the other three girls, his hand was hidden in his sleeve, pinching the Fang Jinpa, hesitating in his heart, not knowing whether he should take it out or not, and took the opportunity to exchange it for Zhao Heng.
