Li Sisi's eyes were red as she patiently soothed and coaxed him gently, one after another. Her angry eyes were filled with heartache and pity, and she even took the blame for everything on herself.

"It's my fault. We agreed to be together forever. I shouldn't have left you here waiting alone. It's okay. It's all in the past. I'm here, I'm here, Nian Nian. I won't let anyone hurt you."

Drops of tears fell on Li Nian's face, and the warm tears covered the cold water droplets on her face.

Li Nian's gaze slowly focused on her face, and his blank mind slowly became filled with content.

Her breathing gradually became smoother, and the hand that was tightly clutching her shirt slowly loosened, and she gave a comforting smile: "Sisi, I'm fine."

"Well, it's okay, it's all in the past..." Li Sisi raised her sleeves to wipe the water droplets off her face, but found that her sleeves were wet, so she retracted them.

The princess watched the interaction between the two, and her gentle eyes gradually became hot.

She frowned and said to Xiao Yunyu with disapproval, "Prince Xiao, this behavior is really too much. No matter what happened, you shouldn't throw your wife into the stream, especially in front of so many people. Even if you don't love her or care about her, you shouldn't humiliate her like this!"

Xiao Yunyu's unruly brows were furrowed, and his fierce eyes were tinged with doubt: "This stream is not deep."

The princess shook her head and sighed, "It's not a question of how deep the stream is. It's that you don't respect her in your heart and never consider her feelings when doing things."

After saying this, she walked forward gracefully, bowed slightly, her face full of worry and concern: "It's all my fault for not hosting you well enough. I frightened you two ladies. I will personally take you to Fengxi Palace to change clothes. Don't catch a cold."

Li Sisi helped Li Nian stand up and nodded politely: "Thank you very much."

The princess smiled gently: "It's no trouble, please."

She raised her hand slightly and made a "please" gesture in a dignified but polite manner.

Then he led the way himself.

Xiao Yunchen approached Xiao Yunyu and sternly rebuked him, "Brother, your actions today were indeed too impulsive. No matter what your sister-in-law was like before, she is your wife after all. You shouldn't humiliate her in front of outsiders."

Xiao Yunyu stared blankly at Li Nian's gradually receding back, his mind constantly recalling her frightened and helpless look. His heart was gripped with a knot, and feelings of regret and pity rose from the bottom of his heart, making him unable to utter a word of rebuttal.

But he thought of the scene of Li Nian and the Fourth Prince together, and the doubts in his heart made him very unhappy.

The man who used to be arrogant and flamboyant now lowered his eyebrows and looked a little timid, like a big dog that was entangled and regretful, following his master silently with his tail between his legs.

He followed them all the way to the gate of Fengxi Pavilion, where the guards suddenly stopped the two brothers and said, "The princess has ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave Fengxi Pavilion at will."

Xiao Yunyu, who had just come out of Fengxi Pavilion with the princess:???

"I can't go in either?"

The guard at the door remained calm and stern, saying, "Yes, no one is allowed to enter unless the princess gives special permission."

Xiao Yunchen frowned slightly upon hearing this and said calmly, "Brother, I'm sure nothing will happen to them at the princess's place. Let's go back first."

He turned to the guards at the door and said, "Please tell Her Royal Highness the Princess that we are waiting for them in the carriage."

"Okay," one of the guards went in to report.

Xiao Yunyu raised his cold eyes and stared at the door of Feng Xi Pavilion for a while, his jaw line tense, and he always felt that something beyond his control was about to happen.

My usually casual and lazy mood was now inexplicably filled with confusion and tension.

"Let's go," Xiao Yunchen reminded him when he saw him staring at the gate of Fengxi Pavilion.

Xiao Yunyu retracted his complicated gaze, pursed his lips, and followed Xiao Yunchen away.

Li Sisi and Li Nian followed the princess to Fengxi Pavilion.

In the spacious and bright hall, there are yellow pear rosewood tables and chairs with fine wood texture.

In the middle hangs a painting of a beauty inlaid with gold and jade. The outlines are clear and the brushstrokes are elegant and beautiful. One can feel the painter's delicate thoughts at a glance.

There is also a Jiaoweiqin in the side hall, covered neatly with a solid-colored velvet carpet.

Walking through the hall to the east, there is an eight-panel screen with a painting of a Vermillion Bird entwined in clouds. Inside is the princess's bedroom.

Entering the bedroom, the princess ordered her personal maid, "Go and get two sets of dresses suitable for the two ladies."

"Yes," the maid replied and left.

Just now when walking towards this side in the hall, Li Nian guessed that this might be the princess's bedroom. Now he came in to see the furnishings in the room.

Next to a set of tea tables inlaid with bluish-white jade porcelain, there is a set of elegant lotus-shaped tea sets. Behind it is a large rosewood bed with layers of smoky pink gauze curtains hanging above it, and silver bells with ruyi patterns hanging in front of the curtains.

Everything is exquisite and luxurious, it must be the princess's bedroom without a doubt.

Li Nian bowed to the princess nervously and said respectfully, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. My second brother and his wife can change clothes in the side hall. We dare not pollute your sleeping place here."

"How can that be?!" The princess walked to the coffee table with a dignified smile on her face and slowly sat down. She placed three teacups with her slender white fingers and poured tea elegantly.

"You two had an accident at my party, so I can't escape the blame. Besides, we are all women, not those vulgar men, so how can we be defiled?"

After filling three cups of hot tea, the princess raised her hand as a "please" gesture and looked at Li Nian with gentle eyes: "You two should drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. After you change your clothes, I will ask the servants to make some ginger tea. We women are particularly sensitive to cold."

"When it comes to your health, you must never be careless."

Li Sisi looked at the gentle princess with surprise, and with a bright smile, she pulled Li Nian forward and said, "Then Nian Nian and I would like to thank Her Highness the Princess."

She picked up a cup and handed it to Li Nian, then picked up another cup of hot tea and drank it.

With a bright smile, he said, "Your Highness the Princess is truly beautiful and kind-hearted, like a goddess descended from heaven!"

The princess was amused by her frank and unpretentious compliment.

"Your Highness, the clothes are here."

"Bring it in." The princess slowly stood up, straightened her appearance, and smiled gently at Li Nian: "You can change your clothes here. I will wait in the hall."

"Thank you, Princess!" Li Nian turned slightly and saluted.

Li Sisi also followed suit and saluted.

The princess smiled faintly, "Madam Yun, there's no need to worry about these red tape. Although your manner of performing the ceremony is particularly charming, it is still troublesome after all."

After saying that, she turned and left the room.

Li Sisi stared at the princess's back in a daze, muttering, "Fuck, sister, I suddenly feel that the princess is very handsome, and that smile just now was particularly handsome. What's going on? Am I gay?"

Li Nian looked at her speechlessly.

"You're not bent, you're just hungry."
