At dinner time.

Prince Ning arrived at Chunhua Garden.

As soon as he lifted the curtain and entered the princess's inner room, he was stunned.

There was a pretty person standing in the room, with a slight smile on her lips and dimples, her black hair carefully combed into a bun, and she was looking at Prince Ning with affection.

"Xiangxiang...why are you here?" King Ning exclaimed in a hoarse voice.

Ling Xiangxiang is very happy.

"Yulang, I have become a slave and worked as a cook in Prince Ning's mansion. Fortunately, the princess did not abandon me and recognized me as her distant cousin, allowing me to temporarily live in Chunhua Garden." Ling Xiangxiang said softly, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"As fate would have it, something happened to your family, and I was not in the capital that day. When I returned to look for you, I searched everywhere but to no avail. Unexpectedly, you were working as a cook in Prince Ning's mansion."

Prince Ning sighed deeply.

"I didn't enter Prince Ning's Mansion that day, hoping to find an opportunity to meet you. However, Yu Lang rarely sets foot in Chunhua Garden. The few times I visited, I missed you. It's fate!"

Ling Xiangxiang's face was calm.

"Now...Xiangxiang, what are your plans?"

"Now, I only pray that Prince Ning can thoroughly investigate the corruption case in my Ling Mansion and clear my father's name. I am willing... willing to pledge my life to you..." Ling Xiangxiang fell to her knees before Prince Ning. Her address also changed to Prince Ning!

"Xiangxiang, get up quickly. I have been secretly investigating the case in your mansion, and I have just made some progress. You can stay in Chunhua Garden with peace of mind. As for..." Prince Ning paused, looking at the candlelight in the princess's room that suddenly went out, and Prince Ning almost laughed out loud.

"Xiangxiang, you are not the Xiangxiang of the past, and I am not the Xia Yu of the past."

...

After a while, the candlelight in the side hall also went out.

The candlelight in the princess's room was lit again...
