One of the servants guarding the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo led them, and the other secretly walked in another direction while Princess Mingyue and the others were not paying attention.

After a while, they came to Yan Ning's room, and Yan Ning dragged his tired body out to see Princess Mingyue.

She wanted to bow to Princess Mingyue, but Princess Mingyue saw that she was about to fall down because of being supported by others and hurriedly asked her not to bow.

"If I had known you looked like this, I would not have come to see you." Princess Mingyue said.

Yan Ning smiled and said, "Could it be that the princess dislikes my appearance?"

Princess Mingyue glanced at Yan Ning coquettishly and said, "That's not what I meant. Please don't get it wrong."

Yan Ning looked at Princess Mingyue's serious face and couldn't help but giggle, covering her mouth: "No, I was just teasing you."

"You," Princess Mingyue pretended to be angry and hit Yan Ning, "you made me so worried, I thought you were really angry."

However, when she saw Yan Ning smiling so happily, she knew that Yan Ning was just physically weak and her mood was not affected, so she felt relieved.

"If you have the energy to joke around, you might as well lie down in bed and get some rest for me." Princess Mingyue said.

"Princess, you are here to visit me. If I don't come out to greet you, I will be beheaded for being so rude." Yan Ning said seriously.

Princess Yan Ning glared at Yan Ning and said, "You're talking nonsense again. How could I bear to chop off your head?"

They chatted for a while, and then Princess Mingyue left, saying that she wanted Yan Ning to have a good rest.

As Princess Mingyue was leaving, she suddenly glanced towards the courtyard and said, "My mother once said that she had received favors from the Duke of Zhenguo. How about I go and visit him?"

It's a rare opportunity for her to come out, and she doesn't want to go back so soon.

Xie Yunjiao's mouth twitched. If she went to visit, that would be a disaster.

"Princess, I heard the Duke of Zhenguo is seriously ill. It would be bad if his illness spread to your delicate body," Xie Yunjiao paused and continued, "Didn't you say you wanted to learn makeup from me? Why don't you go to my shop first and pick out some products?"

Princess Mingyue immediately became interested and quickly agreed, forgetting that she had just said she wanted to visit the Duke of Zhenguo.

The group arrived at Qinyuanfang. As Xie Yunjiao walked into the store, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her happily.

"Boss." Shao Yan said to Xie Yunjiao with a smile.

When Xie Yunjiao saw Shao Yan, she was stunned for a moment: "You guys came back so soon?"

"Yes, Mingde has to rush back to take up his post, so we have to rush all the way. Fortunately, you asked someone to give medicine to our old lady before, otherwise her body would not be able to withstand the journey." Shao Yan said.

Mingde? Princess Mingyue, who was following Xie Yunjiao, suddenly stopped and stared at Shao Yan in amazement.

Is she Wu Mingde's woman? She doesn't look anything special.

Shao Yan noticed Princess Mingyue's gaze. She looked up at Princess Mingyue and was stunned when she saw her noble temperament.

"Shao Yan, this is Princess Mingyue." Xie Yunjiao said.

Shao Yan's body shook and she almost lost her balance. Fortunately, Xie Yunjiao quickly supported her, otherwise she would have fallen.

"You are so bold, you dare not even bow to the princess when you see her?" The maid beside Princess Mingyue shouted loudly.

Only then did Shao Yan realize that everyone around her had already knelt down and saluted Princess Mingyue.

Shao Yan also hurriedly pulled her clothes and prepared to kneel down, but was stopped by Princess Mingyue: "Forget it, no need to be polite."

Shao Yan's pot belly is very eye-catching.

If something happened to her during the ceremony, Wu Mingde might think that she was deliberately bullying Shao Yan.

"I see that you don't seem to be feeling well." Princess Mingyue said.

Shao Yan was so nervous that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't even speak.

She was already feeling low self-esteem, and Princess Mingyue was of such a noble status, was beautiful, and liked Wu Mingde, so she felt nervous and sad.

"She just came from the countryside and must be nervous when she saw the princess's majesty." Xie Yunjiao said as she asked her personal maid to help Shao Yan to the lounge.

Shao Yan's legs were shaking when she walked, and she would have fallen down if someone hadn't supported her.

Princess Mingyue felt a wave of disgust in her heart. How could someone like Shao Yan be worthy of Wu Mingde?

"Princess." Xie Yunjiao called out.

Princess Mingyue came back to her senses. She looked at Xie Yunjiao and said, "How come I didn't know that you and Wu Mingde knew each other?"

Xie Yunjiao said, "Princess, don't be angry. You didn't ask."

Princess Mingyue snorted coldly: "Tell me, what kind of person is Shao Yan?"

She wanted to compare herself with Shao Yan to see where she lost.

Xie Yunjiao guessed what Princess Mingyue was thinking. She said to her, "Princess, there are some things you can't choose just because you agree. Everything has a first come, first served order."

Princess Mingyue gritted her teeth, and mist appeared in her eyes.

So she lost without even having to compete?

"That's not fair. If I knew him before, I might have already been with him..." Princess Mingyue did not continue speaking because of etiquette and her own upbringing prevented her from speaking casually.

"This is God's arrangement. There's no fairness involved," Xie Yunjiao said. "If Wu Mingde were the kind of person who would easily fall in love with someone else, you wouldn't be happy even if you were together, right?"

"You are so good and have a noble status. You deserve better." Xie Yunjiao said.

Princess Mingyue shook her head and said, "Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; and except for Mount Wushan, all other clouds are but mounds."

After meeting Wu Mingde, other people became unimportant in her eyes.

"Princess, time will tell you the answer." Xie Yunjiao said.

Princess Mingyue left, stumbling away.

Shao Yancai came out of the house and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Princess Mingyue was not there.

"Boss, I didn't know Princess Mingyue would come today. If I had known, I would..." I wouldn't have come here.

She thought a lot while in the lounge, and the more she thought, the more regretful she became.

Wu Mingde said that she was tired from the journey and needed to rest, but she missed Xie Yunjiao so much that she came here. She didn't expect to meet Princess Mingyue at this time.

"It's okay, you will meet again one day." Xie Yunjiao said.

Wu Mingde became an official and had to attend banquets held in the palace, so they would naturally meet.

Meeting now can avoid the embarrassment of meeting in the palace in the future.

As soon as Princess Mingyue's carriage drove out of the street, she saw a lake blue figure coming towards her.

He is still so outstanding, gentle and elegant, with a noble temperament, like the breeze in the pine forest, and is the most conspicuous one in the crowd.

"Stop the car!" Princess Mingyue said suddenly.
