After some careful planning, Xiao Jinghan finally got everything settled. He then led Nanzhi on their journey to Fenghuang Road, the busiest and most prosperous place in Shangjing.
The area is bustling with activity, bustling with people and crowded with shops. A variety of sounds interweave to create a unique urban symphony. The buildings lining the streets are breathtakingly beautiful, their layout meticulously arranged, showcasing the city's rich cultural heritage and history.
In such an environment, the guards seemed extremely nervous. They tightly surrounded Xiao Jinghan and Princess Nanzhi, not daring to slack off for fear of any unexpected situation. Everyone's eyes were vigilantly scanning the crowd around them, maintaining a high state of alert at all times.
In this way, the group slowly moved forward under strict protection. Finally, Xiao Jinghan arrived at his destination, Zuiyue Tower. He walked in with Nanzhi without hesitation. As soon as they entered the gate, a rich floral fragrance hit them, making them intoxicated.
Bai Zhi came forward quickly, a smile as warm as the spring breeze on her face, and said softly, "Master Xiao, our boss has been waiting in the backyard for a long time. Please follow me."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Princess Nanzhi beside her, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing an extremely brilliant smile: "Princess Nanzhi, your visit really makes our shop shine! Why not come and experience our unique one-stop beauty and skin care service today. I guarantee you will leave satisfied!" Baizhi invited warmly.
Nanzhi blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, no, it's better for me to stay with my cousin..."
However, before Nanzhi could finish her words, Bai Wei, who was standing beside her, smiled and stretched out her hand, gently holding Princess Nanzhi's shoulders, interrupting her.
Bai Wei said to Princess Nanzhi in a friendly manner, "Oh, Your Highness, you are wrong. It is rare for an engaged couple to meet each other. Why are you running over to join in the fun? Come on! Follow me, I will take you to enjoy yourself, how about it?" Her words were full of temptation and teasing.
Nanzhi said suspiciously, "Engaged couple? Your boss is actually Luo Lingyue? Cousin! What are you doing looking for that woman?"
Bai Wei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry! How could the boss eat your cousin!" Before he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed Nanzhi, and walked straight upstairs.
Nanzhi was terrified and struggled desperately to break free from Bai Wei's hand, shouting, "Cousin! I don't want to go!"
Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan, who was standing by, still had a faint smile on his fair face. He calmly persuaded her, "Cousin, go! Nowadays, all the noble ladies in the capital like to come here."
Bai Zhi carefully led Xiao Jinghan through the bustling crowd, while the noble ladies in Zuiyue Tower whispered in amazement, "It's Prince Xiao! He's really as gentle and elegant as the rumors say!"
"Alas, what a pity that such an outstanding Prince Xiao has already been engaged to Luo Lingyue!"
"That's right. How could a man as handsome as Prince Xiao be overtaken by the money-grubbing Luo Lingyue?"
"In my opinion, becoming the prince's concubine is a good fate!"
"Let alone a concubine, even if it's just a concubine, I'm afraid there will be people fighting for it!"
"As long as I can gain the favor of Master Xiao, I will be willing even if it means becoming his concubine!" This group of noble women became more and more excited, as if they were immersed in the fantasy of a bright future.
Someone suddenly shouted, "If we can spend a night with Xiao Lang, it will be worth it even if it costs our life!" This sentence was like adding fuel to the fire, making the other ladies even more excited.
The other noble lady was obviously bolder. She said coquettishly, "Oh! How can you be so shameless? Prince Xiao belongs to all of us. In my opinion, he should treat everyone fairly! Prince Xiao, look over here!" While speaking, she did not forget to throw a coquettish glance at Xiao Jinghan.
Faced with such bold and explicit words from the women, Xiao Jinghan's originally stern face actually flushed slightly. After all, he was still a young man, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little embarrassed to be teased by so many women in public.
Bai Zhi, standing nearby, looked displeased, secretly lamenting, "This Prince Xiao is surprisingly popular among the women of Shangjing. The Dong family will probably face numerous rivals in love in the future!" Oh! It really is true that good-looking men are a nuisance!
Bai Zhi carefully led Xiao Jinghan to an exquisite small building in the backyard, gently knocked on the door, and reported in a low voice: "Master, Master Xiao has arrived."
After a moment, a clear and pleasant female voice came from the room: "Let him in."
After receiving the agreement, Bai Zhi slowly opened the door, made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Jinghan, and said softly, "Prince Xiao, please come in, the host is waiting inside!"
As Xiao Jinghan entered the room, a faint, refreshing aroma of plum blossoms filled his face. He looked around and found the furnishings of the room to be utterly luxurious. Every piece of furniture was meticulously crafted, exuding the unique aroma of precious wood. Several priceless paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls, adding a touch of elegance. The floor was covered with a thick, velvet carpet, so soft and comfortable it felt like walking on clouds.
At that moment, Luo Lingyue was sitting at the table, elegantly sipping her tea. Seeing Xiao Jinghan enter, she raised her head, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile. "Master Xiao, your presence truly brings honor to my humble abode! I imagine there's been quite a bit of gossip about you in the city lately, which must have made you even more popular. You truly are a disaster, you handsome man!" She raised her eyes slightly, gazing deeply at Xiao Jinghan.
Xiao Jinghan looked calm and composed. He said calmly, "Lord Luo, I have never been entangled with other women."
Luo Lingyue raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is Prince Xiao making insinuations about me?"
Xiao Jinghan was silent for a moment: "Lord Luo, you're overthinking it! I just want you to be assured."
Luo Lingyue sneered, "My marriage to you was never consensual, but it was granted by His Majesty, so we have no choice but to obey. I cannot bring trouble to my family and friends. If you find someone you like in the future, I will not interfere! If you want to marry your beloved, we can divorce amicably. Or... you can divorce me with a letter of divorce!"
Xiao Jinghan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, his expression slightly sad. "Lord Luo, I... never thought of divorcing you! It's me who has implicated you after all! If you don't want to, I'll go talk to His Majesty and ask him to revoke the marriage!"
Luo Lingyue was a little annoyed and shook her head, saying, "We'll talk about this later. First, take care of yourself! There's a medicinal bath upstairs. Go soak in the water. Dark Moon Fairy can only come tonight."
