One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

The two of them strolled around a lot of places, and only after they were tired did they find a teahouse to sit down.

"Condensing Flowers!" Just as they were about to go upstairs, Baili Ang came over with quick steps, "You guys came down too, I... We were just about to go back and find you. "

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Baili An was still quite satisfied with Chuan Yi. Although he couldn't speak, once he did, he would do as he said. This kind of person didn't know how to use flowery words, but was exceptionally reliable. Having lived in the palace for so long and been ignored because of her stench, she knew better than anyone what she wanted.

She was already very lucky to be able to find someone as honest as Chunyi instead of getting married. She felt even more grateful when she recalled the advice that Shen Ninghua had given her at the wedding selection.

Shen Ninghua raised his head to look at Baili'an. His gaze landed on an extra silver hairpin that had appeared on top of her head. With a playful look in his eyes, he said, "I've been waiting for you for quite some time. I thought you forgot to come back."

Baili An's face turned red. He raised his hand and touched the hairpin on his head, "You are the only one who can make fun of me!"

Shen Ninghua chuckled softly, provoking Guiyi, who was following behind her, to blush. However, thinking back to when Princess Tranquil East didn't despise the hairpin he gave her for being cheap and ugly, she didn't mind at all. She had said that if it wasn't for Princess Zhao Hua's opinion, she might have chosen someone else.

The four of them drank their tea and waited for Baili Anqing to arrive. Unfortunately, even after quite a while, they were nowhere to be seen. Seeing that the appointed time was almost upon them, Shen Ninghua worriedly asked, "Jun Yi, have you sent people to look around? Has something happened to Princess Anqing and the rest?"

"Mm. Alright."

Chu Junyi ordered her guards to search through the crowd.

After waiting for another quarter-hour, Shen Ninghua and the others started to get anxious. Only then did Baili Anqing get supported by a woman to walk over. Yang Lin followed behind with an ugly expression on his face, his brows tightly knitted together.

Seeing the look on Baili Anqing's face, Shen Ninghua was shocked, "What's going on?" "Hurry and sit down."

Chu Junyi raised her head to look at Yang Lin and realized that he was staring at Shen Ninghua with eyes full of longing and adoration, almost without concealing it at all.

Chu Junyi stepped forward to block Yang Lin, her voice cold and sharp, "Lord Yang, Princess An Qing went out with you. How did she end up like this? Didn't you take extra care of the princess? "

Yang Lin was taken aback. He looked at Chu Junyi for a moment before gritting his teeth and suppressing the jealousy and unwillingness in his heart. "I was rude and caused the princess to be injured."

Baili Anqing was already in so much pain that his face turned pale. Now, upon hearing these words, his face turned even paler.

He kept having the feeling that this woman looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. "Princess, your leg is injured, I'll send someone to find a carriage and settle down at my place. I'll send Princess back to the palace later."

"Okay, thank you." Baili Anqing stood up, and the woman hurriedly stepped forward to support his arm, "Princess, please be careful. This humble one will support you."

Shen Ninghua knitted his brows and looked at her, "Princess, who is this young lady?"

Baili Anqing bit his lip, "I almost fell just now. It was this lady who supported me. I saw that she was extremely sharp and had a pitiful background, so I decided to help out a little."

There didn't seem to be any problems with his words, but if one were to carefully examine them, they would find that something was amiss. He just wanted to thank her for her help, so he gave her enough silver to get rid of her. After all, Baili An's identity was that of a princess, and the palace maids by her side were all registered to him.

Even if he brought her into the palace, he would still have to settle down with a reputation of harbouring malicious intentions. Who knows when he might be dragged out to chop her? This was truly harming her.

Shen Ninghua could not sense that something was amiss, so he said, "I have some silver taels here. It's enough for this lady to live her life. Bluebird, give it to her."

Baili Anqing was expressionless, his face extremely pale.

Baili'an, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer. He frowned and scolded, "Stand up. Kneel on the ground and cry in front of so many people. Are we trying to humiliate you?"

"This humble girl doesn't dare, I just want a place to stay. I absolutely do not dare to be disrespectful to the princess."

Shen Ninghua frowned, "The silver I gave you is enough for you to buy a few places to stay. You can leave now."

"Princess..."

"Step down!" Shen Ninghua's eyes were clear and cold. A noble aura burst forth, pressuring the woman until she quivered, timidly looking at Yang Lin at the side.

Yang Lin suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Princess Zhao Hua, this woman's background is rather pitiful. Furthermore, she just helped Princess An Qing, isn't it a little too heartless to just take the silver taels? Miss Rachel, please come with me. "

The girl called Rui Xue frowned slightly. With a troubled expression, Qing Ling said, "But Princess An Qing's foot …"

"With Princess Zhao Hua here, there's no harm." After which, he walked out.

Rui Xue looked at him with a troubled expression. In the end, she saluted Shen Ninghua and the rest before chasing after Yang Lin's back.

A cold glint flashed across Shen Ninghua's eyes. Yang Lin was about to get married to Princess An Qing. What was he planning to do now? Was he even looking down on the prestige of the Royal Family?

Baili An stepped forward and held Baili Anqing's hand, helping her up, "Little Sister An Qing, let's head to the Congealed Flower Manor first. We'll talk about the rest later."

After returning to Princess Radiant's estate, Bai Ning, Hong Ling, and Bi Zhu welcomed them together.

Shen Ninghua did not delay either. She directed the three to carry the water, medicine boxes and helpers to the place where she was going to sleep.

"Princess An Qing, I need to inspect some of your ankles. They're slightly painful, so bear with it."

"Thank you."

After the inspection, Shen Ninghua heaved a sigh of relief. "It's not serious. It's just a slight sprained wound. Spreading the medicinal wine and rubbing it for a few days of rest will make it alright. It can't delay your wedding day." Today, she accompanied the two princesses out. Although she was under the orders of the empress, if anything happened to An Jing or An Qing and they delayed the wedding, then the imperial family's face would be greatly disgraced. She would also be punished.

Baili An couldn't hold his anger anymore. When he heard that it didn't affect the date of their marriage, he relaxed and asked about the matter with Rachel just now, "An Qing, what was with that Rachel who supported you just now?"

Baili Anqing bit his lips, his face had a sorrowful look, "Could it be that the two of you didn't see that? "That Rachel is the woman who was able to amaze everyone on the riverside stage earlier."

"That's right, I … Lord Yang and I originally wanted to go ahead to watch the competition for the Spring Fairies, but to our surprise, we actually saw someone making things difficult for Miss Rui Xue. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked for Lord Yang's help.

"And she followed you? Why didn't you send her off in advance so as to not expose your identity? " Baili An said.

I originally wanted to give her some silver coins, but she said that she no longer has a place to stay, and the reason for saving others is not because of silver coins. Because of a conflict with the owner of the Spring Fairies' Competition, we can't go back, so she asked us to take her in.

Baili An disagreed, "Then why did you bring her along so easily? How could the women in the palace come here with you with such unknown origins?"

A dark glint flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes as he smiled faintly. He did not participate in the conversation between the two and just sat quietly by the side.

"How could I not? It's just that Lord Yang's heart is softhearted …" As Baili Anqing spoke, he felt so wronged that he was about to cry. Although she wasn't favoured, she was still the emperor's daughter after all. How could she allow others to toil with her?

Baili An looked at her, and said in a resentful tone, "So you were letting Yang Lin take her just now? "I wonder what will happen if I leave."

Baili Anqing had to admit that after a moment of silence, he was finally unable to hold it in. He slumped over the table and cried out in grief.

Shen Ninghua comforted her, "Old Yang has strict tutoring skills. Yang Lin is his direct grandson. He would never be tied up with a dancer. Don't worry, Princess An Qing."

Baili Anqing slowly raised his head, his face was covered in tears. He looked extremely sorrowful as he replied, "Maybe."

After a simple lunch, Shen Ninghua arranged for people to send the two princesses back.

When the room quieted down and Shen Ning carefully thought about what had happened today, she felt that something was wrong.

Chu Junyi frowned. "Did you find something?"

"What is it?"

"That Rachel, if you only look at her eyes, she's very similar to you."

The moment he saw Rachel, a familiar feeling arose in his heart, and upon closer inspection, he realized that her eyes were actually somewhat similar to Ning Hua's. In addition to that, Yang Lin's attitude made him even more furious. Yang Lin probably thought of that Rui Xue as Shen Ninghua's substitute!

A thought flashed through Shen Ninghua's mind. He finally understood why she felt that Rui Xue looked so familiar. "How similar are they?"

"About six in the eye." Chu Junyi frowned as she tried to recall the events of the day.

Shen Ninghua frowned as well, thinking of the empress's possible plans. "Jun Yi, send someone to investigate that Rachel. How could it be so coincidental? It's almost the wedding day of the two princesses. No matter what, it's a loss of face for the imperial family."

"Alright, I'll go investigate."

Not only would he not say anything about Xiao Hua, he would also keep an eye on Yang Lin. If he dared to do something involving Xiao Hua, he wouldn't mind digging out his coveting eyes!
