After Zijuan returned, Dachun also dressed himself up a bit, thinking that being too casual would leave a bad impression if he encountered a prince or something. Zijuan went back to report, and Shuhui, worried that it would be inconvenient for Dachun to come to her room, helped Zijuan out. She wanted to walk around outside with her second brother and talk about what Lanqin had told her. The matter had come so suddenly that the young girl was still bewildered.

"What did you tell your second brother? Why hasn't he come yet?" Shuhui, supporting Zijuan, stood under the camellias outside the house where the three of them lived and waited for a while, but Dachun still hadn't come, so she asked anxiously.

"Princess, I already spoke with the Second Young Master. He told me to come back first, saying he'd be right there," Zijuan said, sounding a little impatient with Shuhui's question.

"Come with me for a walk over there. Waiting here is too conspicuous," Shuhui said.

Zijuan then helped Shuhui walk along the bluestone path, admiring the early spring flowers as they went. They walked towards the place where Dachun lived, afraid of missing him.

The master and servant walked along, admiring the spring flowers along the way. Before they knew it, a figure was approaching them from a distance.

Shuhui saw that the plum blossoms on a plum tree were blooming beautifully, so she stopped to admire the plum blossoms on the dark branches.

"Princess, Princess!" Zijuan saw the person looking at her princess and tugged at Shuhui's sleeve.

Shuhui then looked in the direction Zijuan pointed and saw that the Tenth Prince, dressed in a light orange-red brocade robe, was standing no more than five meters away from her, smiling at her.

"Shuhui greets the Tenth Prince~" Shuhui was slightly taken aback, and quickly bowed.

"Please rise, Princess Niu." The Tenth Prince quickly offered a helping hand, saying, "Is the Princess admiring the plum blossoms?"

"Yes, the plum blossoms here are blooming beautifully. I didn't see Tenth Prince coming over for a while, please don't take offense, Tenth Prince!" Shuhui lowered her face slightly, not daring to look at Tenth Prince. Lanqin had just told her this, but she didn't expect Tenth Prince to be standing in front of her now. Shuhui was slightly reluctant to see Tenth Prince at this moment.

"I've disturbed Princess's enjoyment of the flowers. Would you mind joining me?" Seeing that Shuhui had her head down, the Tenth Prince assumed she was embarrassed and took the initiative to invite her.

The Tenth Prince was straightforward by nature, tall and strong, and skilled in martial arts. However, he didn't enjoy studying much, and his aptitude wasn't particularly good, so he simply didn't pursue academics. Consequently, he lacked the ambition to vie for the throne, and others didn't see him as a rival, allowing him to live a free and comfortable life. His primary wife was a cousin of the Eighth Prince's wife, Lady Guo Luoluo, which is why the Tenth Prince was close to the Eighth Prince.

Shuhui inwardly groaned. She wanted to refuse directly, but she was afraid of offending the Tenth Prince. Originally, she liked the Thirteenth Prince, but since the Tenth Prince was being so proactive, he must have already spoken to her cousin, the Fourth Prince. Otherwise, why would her cousin come to ask her personally?

Seeing Shuhui's hesitant expression, the Tenth Prince assumed she was shy and stepped forward, saying, "The princess and these plum blossoms complement each other beautifully; I can't help but be captivated by them."

Seeing her mistress's stunned expression, Zijuan quickly gave Tenth Prince an awkward smile and tugged at Shuhui's sleeve, saying, "Princess!"

Shuhui then came to her senses and said to the Tenth Prince, "It is naturally an honor for Shuhui to enjoy the spring flowers with the Tenth Prince."

Shuhui was a gentle person by nature. When someone showed her kindness, she couldn't bring herself to refuse. All they wanted to do was enjoy the flowers together, nothing more.

Tenth Master smiled and moved to Shuhui's side. The two of them stood under the plum tree, looking at the pale pink plum blossoms blooming on the branches.

"Oh, so you're admiring the flowers together already? Tenth Brother, you're quick on your feet," Ninth Master said sarcastically.

The two quickly turned around and saw that it was Eighth Master and Ninth Master staring at them.

"Shuhui greets the Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince. Shuhui is feeling a bit tired, so she will not accompany the Tenth Prince to admire the flowers and will take her leave first." Shuhui blushed, gave a curtsy, and then quickly left with Zijuan's hand.

No one could stand Lao Jiu's sarcastic tone.

"Ninth Brother, look at you, you've scared away such a lovely girl." Tenth Master glared at Ninth Brother angrily.

"Hey, Eighth Brother, look, brothers forget their brothers when they have women. Our Tenth Master has forgotten us so quickly." Ninth Brother winked at Eighth Brother.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Tenth Brother be that kind of person? But Princess Shuhui is indeed charming and lovely, so it's understandable that Tenth Brother likes her. Ninth Prince, why don't you go and inform Consort Yi, and then just betroth Niohuru Shuhui to Tenth Brother?" Eighth Prince said, trying to smooth things over.

"Yes, Ninth Brother, you're so unfair! I clearly said I like Shuhui, but you're too stingy to give me a straight answer!" Tenth Master said happily upon hearing Eighth Master's words.

"Yes, yes, look how impatient you are. Alright, I'll take care of it. By the way, I noticed that Princess Shuhui's face seemed to be blushing just now. Does that mean she's interested in our tenth brother? Don't worry, you two are definitely on the same page. I'll go and tell Mother." The ninth prince chuckled.

"Then thank you very much, Eighth Brother and Ninth Brother." Tenth Master was happy to see that things were halfway done.

"However, you'd better not mention it to Mingyu. You know how fiery she is. If she gets angry, she'll go to her sister, and then I'll be in trouble..." Eighth Master warned.

"Of course, Eighth Brother, don't worry. I'm not that stupid; I definitely won't mention this to Mingyu. Since it was Consort Yi who ordered it, what can she say?" The Tenth Prince frowned slightly when he mentioned his primary wife. His primary wife was a spoiled and pampered woman who often quarreled with him in the mansion. Several of his concubines had also mysteriously lost their pregnancies. Although the Tenth Prince wasn't a very meticulous man, he had begun to have grievances against his wife.

Meanwhile, Shuhui and Zijuan ran wildly, as if some fierce tiger was chasing them.

"Sister, where have you been? You told me to come, but you're not in the house?" Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the roadside, startling Shuhui.

She looked up and saw that it was Dachun. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why didn't you come for so long, Second Brother? I went to greet you, but I didn't see you."

Da Chun glanced at her expression and asked, "I stopped by to pay my respects to my cousin before coming here. What's wrong? You look like something happened."

When Shuhui saw that he had gone to find Lanqin, she hurriedly asked, "Did my cousin tell you about Tenth Master?"

Da Chun looked surprised and asked, "What Tenth Master?"
