The weather is gradually getting warmer, new buds are sprouting from the branches, and the grass is poking out. The biting coldness in the wind is gone, and the feeling of spring is getting stronger. Many wealthy families have come out to play.

On the way to Xiangguo Temple with Guo Xiner, Xiao Conghui met the carriage of Duke Dingguo.

Chen Langyi accidentally lifted the curtain of the carriage and happened to see Xiao Conghui's carriage. The logo of Mang was very obvious on the carriage. Only the prince of Nanliang could have a carriage with such a logo.

Her heart was churning and her body felt a little hot. Then she thought of her engagement with the Second Prince, and hatred surged up. She had used all her means over the years to create the image of a perfect daughter of a noble family, just to marry Xiao Conghui one day, but in the end, it was ruined by the Second Prince. The handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted to pieces.

Dai Chun saw through her thoughts and said, "Miss, if there is anything going on between you and the Crown Prince, the Emperor wants you to marry into the royal family anyway. No matter which prince you marry, you will be the Emperor's daughter-in-law."

"No," Chen Langyi interrupted, frowning, "There can't be any stain before marriage, that's the worst option."

She had thought about this path, but if she did that, she would have no way out, and it was far from that time yet.

Dai Chun said, "Young lady, you are very thoughtful. However, the second prince is still a prince after all. If he is discovered, it will be a serious crime."

Her heart was beating fast. Kill the prince?

Chen Langyi looked back with a smile on her face, "If I marry His Majesty, when I get pregnant and it is inconvenient for me to serve His Majesty," she said, pulling Dai Chun's hand, "You look good, I won't treat you unfairly."

She knew from looking at Dai Chun's slightly blushing face that Dai Chun was moved.

Chen Langyi gently lifted the curtain and motioned Dai Chun to look at Xiao Conghui, "When he ascends the throne, I will be the Empress, and you will be a concubine. When you have a prince..."

Chen Langyi painted a perfect future for Dai Chun, which was a ceiling that Dai Chun would never reach, but now she could give it to him.

Dai Chun's heart was beating fast. Indeed, after Xiao Conghui ascended the throne, he would definitely choose someone for the harem. It would be more reassuring for her daughter to use her than to use someone else.

She was just a slave, and her indentures were in Chen Langyi's hands. She really couldn't refuse such conditions.

"I am willing to share your worries, young lady, and will obey your orders," said Dai Chun.

"good".

......

Xiao Conghui booked a small courtyard in advance and had it decorated very exquisitely.

After getting off the car, Guo Xiner breathed in the mountain air and felt relaxed all over.

[Wow, I feel it. Mother is very happy now. After being cooped up in the palace for so long, every time I look up, I see a square palace. No matter how exquisite it is, I've already gotten tired of it.]

Thank you, big brother.

Xiao Conghui responded in his heart, "You're welcome, little guy. As long as you keep your promise, I will take you out to play every day when you come out."

Guo Xiner walked around under the guidance of the guards, and returned to the house when she felt tired. The furnishings inside were elegant, and it was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into the arrangement.

After settling in, Xiao Conghui sent someone to visit twice, asking if the accommodation was pleasant and if there was anything he needed. He also said he would come to pay his respects after lunch.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince and Chen Langyi, the daughter of Duke Dingguo, wish to see you," a palace maid reported.

[Ah! Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Chen Langyi? This is a tough guy, I want to meet him, I want to meet him.]

Xiao Jiayun was already in a good mood, and now he was a little excited.

According to the customs of the Southern Liang Dynasty, engaged men and women could meet privately, so it was in accordance with the rules for the two of them to come together.

Guo Xiner nodded. She actually wanted to meet Chen Langyi. Chen Langyi was a girl from a noble family who was praised by everyone in the capital. She had heard of her a long time ago.

I heard that the Empress took a fancy to her first, but was snatched away by Concubine Heng.

"Your son pays homage to the Imperial Concubine."

"Your humble servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

After the two came in, they saluted according to the palace rules.

Guo Xiner smiled and said, "Get up quickly."

The palace maid Yan'er held a wooden plate with an exquisite box on it in her hands and placed it in front of Chen Langyi.

"This pair of jade bracelets was given by the emperor. I think the color is very good and it suits you just fine," Guo Xiner prepared the gift.

[Mother, this woman is very proud and arrogant. I'm afraid she won't appreciate your two bracelets. She has always had her eyes on the throne of the Queen. These little things won't enter her eyes.]

[According to etiquette, a character like her should be a heroine, but unfortunately she resorted to any means to achieve her goals, and killed many people. Sigh.]

[I wonder what she thinks about marrying her second brother]

In fact, Xiao Jiayun admires Chen Langyi very much. She is no ordinary person as she has been able to rise to the position of queen since she was old enough to understand things.

The second prince, "????"

What?

Chen Langyi knelt down to express her gratitude and said, "How can I accept such a precious gift from the Imperial Concubine?"

But she felt calm in her heart. There was no such thing as a jade bracelet in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. From now on, it would be her turn to sit on it and reward others.

Guo Xiner smiled and gestured to Yan'er. Yan'er placed the bracelet in front of Chen Langyi, and she carefully took it.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

As soon as the voice fell, Xiao Conghui strode in, bowed, and said, "What a coincidence, my second brother is also here at Xiangguo Temple."

"Greetings, Your Highness," Chen Langyi tried to make his presence felt.

This is getting interesting. Chen Langyi has been trying her best to marry the eldest brother, and now the tyrant father has arranged for her to marry the second brother. However, the eldest brother doesn't know what Chen Langyi is thinking.

"Big brother, I've been targeting you since I was old enough to understand things, but now it's my second brother's turn. What a twist of fate!"

[Big brother, let me tell you a secret. Chen Langyi has been practicing painting hard, and she's best at figure painting. Hahaha, guess who she loves to paint the most?]

Second Prince Xiao Jinghui, "!!!"

The eldest prince Xiao Conghui said, "!!!"

The second prince could hear Xiao Jiayun's thoughts, and he knew that the eldest prince could hear it, but the eldest prince didn't know that he knew.

The eldest prince could also hear these sounds, and he knew that the second prince could hear them, but the second prince didn't know that he knew.

What a mess! (The author is also dizzy)

Both of them were upset, but they didn't dare show any strangeness on their faces, just looked a little uncomfortable.

If Big Brother knew Chen Langyi's admiration for him, would he like her?

No, no, your eldest brother already knows. Don’t say anymore. Your second brother can also hear it. It’s a bit embarrassing!

Xiao Conghui was talking to Xiao Jiayun in his mind, but unfortunately Xiao Jiayun couldn't hear him.

Guo Xiner watched their expressions change. Why were they so weird today?

Chen Langyi's attention was all on Xiao Conghui, and she didn't notice it and was still dressing herself up. "Your Highness the Concubine is noble and elegant, and I admire you very much. During my time in Xiangguo Temple, I would like to come and pay my respects to you often. I hope Your Highness the Concubine will not despise me for being stupid."

"You just want to see my big brother, what's with your admiration for my mother? You're just lying."

The two princes glanced at each other. Huh? Why didn't he react at all?

My Lord, what’s the point of seeing you? I don’t like you!

Second Prince, what’s the point of seeing you? Once your reputation is completely ruined, can you still marry into the royal family?
