Lin Chunhuan was sitting in the corner and was not very noticeable. Even if someone saw her, with so many people coming today, few would be able to recognize who she was.

He just thought she was a young lady from a minor official's family who came to join in the fun and see the world, and he didn't even avoid talking to her.

"Come on, what's the point of saying these sour words? If you have the guts, go sit next to the Concubine Dowager. Do you have the guts?" Another woman laughed and challenged, "She's the future Crown Princess. We can't compare to her."

The man who had spoken earlier looked even uglier when he heard this. "What's wrong with the Crown Princess? Hasn't she been decided yet?"

"And I heard that the prince has no interest in her at all! You said this matter has been circulating for so long, but Lin Yimiao has never even met the prince. Isn't this strange?"

"Hey, let me tell you something. The last time I went to Baolefang, I ran into the prince!"

Lin Chunhuan felt a numbness all over his body when he heard this. That Baolefang was a brothel!

How could the prince go to such a place?

The other woman was obviously unconvinced. "Are you mistaken? The Crown Prince has always disliked being with women and is very chaste. How could he possibly go to a place like that?"

"Besides, what are you doing at Baolefang?"

The royal family absolutely did not allow the news of the prince being afraid of women to be spread outside. People outside just thought that the prince was being chaste by not associating with women.

If such a secret were to be leaked, even the foundation of the country would be shaken.

"Oh, it's the marriage my family arranged for me. That Wang family's second son has been running to Baolefang every few days. I heard he wanted to buy a prostitute as his concubine. How could I sit still? Who could have thought that I would meet the prince?"

"I'm telling you, I went there dressed as a man that day, so there was absolutely no way I could have made a mistake. Besides... the prince was hugging a man!"

Lin Chunhuan's breathing was slightly choked, and his hands unconsciously clenched under his sleeves.

She originally thought that Lin Yimiao's plan for the prince would be done when the prince went to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning, but she didn't expect that Lin Yimiao would start so early!

"Fourth sister."

Lin Chunhuan didn't notice when the two people who were chattering just now stopped talking. When she raised her eyes, she saw Lin Yimiao who had walked in front of her.

Before anything could be said, the two women looked at Lin Chunhuan in horror. They never expected that such an inconspicuous person was actually a sister of the future Crown Princess.

Lin Yimiao didn't care and stepped forward to hold Lin Chunhuan's hand. "You gave me a hard time looking for you. It's very lively up ahead. Come on, follow me."

When they reached a less crowded area, Lin Yimiao leaned in and whispered, "King Qin is here. Shall we start now?"

"Don't take it too seriously."

Lin Chunhuan responded quietly, following Lin Yimiao's gaze, and saw the King of Qin peeling oranges for the concubine. He then shifted his gaze to the noble ladies around him, "Miss Zhang is here too."

"Big sister, go over there and irritate her."

Lin Yimiao was startled by these words, and immediately understood what they meant. He nodded gently and said, "I'm going over now. What about you?"

"I'm going to change into men's clothes. If the King of Qin doesn't move, I'll jump into the water to save you... and..." Lin Chunhuan grabbed Lin Yimiao, who was eager to leave, and said, "The Crown Prince shouldn't leave the palace so soon. Arrange someone to hold him back and prevent him from coming over."

"Prince... he shouldn't..."

"in case."

Lin Chunhuan's tone was calm, and there was no flaw in his words. Lin Yimiao was silent for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, then you can assist from the side. It won't take much effort to anger that woman."

After Lin Yimiao finished speaking, she went to the concubine and chatted for a long time, until Lin Chunhuan, dressed in men's clothes, flashed past the corner of her eye. Then she waved her handkerchief and walked to Miss Zhang.

"Oh no... Miss Lin fell into the water, help quickly!"

A cry of surprise was heard, Lin Chunhuan curled up the corners of his lips, and without even glancing towards the lake, he disappeared in a few flashes.

The front yard of the palace.

The prince had already had two cups of tea and frowned impatiently at the servant who served the tea. "I just wanted to get two volumes of scriptures. Why hasn't the emperor's uncle come yet?"

Qin Zhaoxun's death anniversary was coming soon. The King of Qin sent a message to the East Palace early in the morning, saying that he had copied the Sutra of Rebirth with his own hands and asked the prince to burn it on his behalf as a token of condolences.

The two of them didn't say a few words before the King of Qin went to get the scriptures, but he waited for a long time but no one showed up.

The housekeeper smiled awkwardly, "The Concubine Dowager is holding a poetry gathering in the mansion today, and the backyard is full of female relatives. I'm afraid the prince has been tripped by someone, so he will definitely come soon!"

Originally, the prince wanted to go look for someone, but when he heard that they were all women, he was immediately fixed on the chair and even had a thought of escaping.

After saying this, the steward ordered more tea for the prince and left.

"Oh, how did we get lost? Xiao Cui, please find someone to ask where we are!" Not long after the housekeeper left, a sweet female voice sounded outside the door.

The prince's face changed drastically, and he called the guards around him and was about to leave.

But before he could even walk out the door, he bumped into a woman head-on.

As luck would have it, it was the young lady from the official family who had bumped into the Crown Prince at Baolefang. Although she had been praising the Crown Prince, when she actually saw him, her pretty face immediately flushed, "Greetings, His Royal Highness!"

My legs feel slightly weak.

The prince's face turned pale. He reached out to support the guard beside him, not even looking at the woman. "Let's go."

"Your Highness!"

Seeing this, the woman immediately put on a pitiful look, fluttering to her knees before the prince, biting her lips lightly, which made her look even more pitiful. "I didn't mean to offend you, but... I hope Your Highness won't blame me."

The prince wanted to say that he did not blame her and just wanted her to get out!

But when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word. He even started to feel dizzy. When the sun shone on him, he almost couldn't stand.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded beside his ears, holding him up. Lin Chunhuan looked at the woman in front of him and laughed wantonly, "Whose family is this lady?"

"You are so beautiful, but you are here to offer yourself to me?"

"You...how can you talk like that!"

"How dare you talk like that?" Lin Chunhuan snorted coldly, "Can't you see that I don't like you? Why don't you just get out of here and keep lingering around? If you're not trying to offer yourself to me, what are you trying to do?"

The girl was shy, and if she hadn't gotten Lin Yimiao's hint and known that the prince was alone in the front yard, she wouldn't have taken the risk.

Who would have thought that the prince, who was rumored to be averse to women, actually didn't even look at her!

The shame and anger in her heart finally made the girl lose face. She stood up, stomped her feet and ran away.

Lin Chunhuan did not feel guilty. Although the woman was disdainful of Lin Yimiao, she was unwilling to miss even the slightest chance to replace him.

It's not wrong to say that she came to offer herself to me.
