"Mother said, which princess came today?"

“Princess,” Madam Sheng said in confusion, “I wonder when she first met you, that she would specifically ask to see you by name.”

Sheng Yan excitedly got out of bed: "Is she still there?"

"They're gone."

Seeing him like this, Sheng's mother scrutinized him.

"Yan'er, what about you and the Princess?"

Sensing his mother's displeasure, Sheng Yan forced himself to calm down and said expressionlessly, "There's nothing between me and her."

"That would be for the best." Madam Sheng covered him with the blanket again. "You should take good care of your injuries. Once you're healed, I'll find an opportunity to take you to see the Third Princess."

Mother Sheng has passed away.

Sheng's father stayed behind to take care of Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan pursed his lips, his eyelashes trembling slightly: "Father, why didn't you say it was the Eldest Princess just now?"

Several sedan chair bearers followed, flattered and surprised.

"Yes, that's fine." Su Yu slightly sat up and poured you a cup of tea. "But the princess cannot delay in telling you."

Mrs. Sheng was completely stunned.

He actually cried for her.

Mr. Sheng took the clothes and left the room.

Liang'er replied, "Yes, Princess."

The sedan chair bearers hurriedly carried the sedan chair to the entrance of the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Liang'er could only wait inside.

Nanzhi gripped my hand tightly: "So, Father, please ask him to help you."

A faint sound came from outside.

You blushed so badly, it's because you dared to look at me.

You turned to look at me and said in a deep voice, "You little rascal, you only care about when you will die."

After the teacup was pushed to the side, Sheng's father picked it up, tucked his sleeves in, and looked at his reflection in the tea. It was like a mirage, something that would shatter at the slightest touch.

Mr. Sheng nodded to me, showing no airs of a princess whatsoever.

Su Yu lowered his eyes and poured himself a cup: "Does the princess want to live a short life?"

"The eldest princess is really wicked."

"Yan'er, why are you crying?"

Will she think he doesn't want to see her?

After Sheng's father left, Liang'er wanted to follow, and you agreed.

Several sedan chair bearers discussed loudly as they followed Yi Rui and Yi Ruixian away.

Su Yu maintained her languid posture, her crimson lips parting hastily: "Come and sit down."

Father Sheng sighed deeply. You rested your chin on your hand, gazing at the misty rain inside, and said, "The pleasures of this world are fleeting, and all things in the past flow away like the eastward-flowing water."

The princess had a pair of beautiful, lively eyes. If you stared at her for a long time, the area around her eyes would turn red, adding to her charm.

Strangely, the beauty in the painting has no eyes.

Sheng Yan was somewhat surprised to hear his father's voice.

How could it be the eldest princess?!

"Yes, the eldest princess is the worst master you've ever served."

The butler nodded and walked behind.

Will I never come again?

When Madam Sheng saw me pleading like that for the first time, she softened and took my hand. "Who does Yan'er want to marry?"

Sheng's father retreated outside and saw Su Yu by the window. I was lying on the chaise longue, resting with my chin propped up and my eyes closed.

In that instant, he thought about too many things.

His eyes were red as he looked at his heartbroken father, his expression even more pitiful.

The feeling was very comfortable, like being stared at by a wild beast. Sheng's father hurriedly changed his worn-out clothes, took the wet clothes and went outside. Only then did the feeling completely disappear.

Liang'er held up an umbrella and went to knock on the door.

"I apologize for disturbing the Imperial Advisor."

We were told to take shelter from the rain on the eaves.

The guard opened the door and, upon hearing your request, sent someone to report to the Grand Preceptor.

The process was rather difficult...

The butler then opened the door and gestured for Mr. Sheng to enter.

Mr. Sheng hurried over and sat down on the chair next to me.

You do care, or you're afraid that someone else will care.

The sedan chair bearers were all women. As they watched Mr. and Mrs. Sheng retreat to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to take shelter from the rain, they felt a pang of emotion.

You smiled slightly and said, "You want to calculate how much longer you have to live?"

Mr. Sheng said, "Your mother only said that the princess wanted to see you, but I don't know which princess she is."

Sheng Yan's eyelashes drooped.

Mrs. Sheng was in a dilemma: "His mother... will refuse."

Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly, landing on your very troubled eyes.

Mr. Sheng frowned and glanced at the man, finding him somewhat unfamiliar.

A torrential rain began to fall on Sheng's father's way home.

"Oh no, Father, think of something."

Father Sheng was overjoyed: "I couldn't delay in performing divination for you!"

The steward then inquired with the Imperial Advisor and returned with the answer that it was impossible.

"Let's all go and get out of the rain."

How could Yi Rui bear to see his beloved son like that? I sighed and hugged him.

When Liang'er got into the sedan chair, she hadn't brought any clothes for Yi Rui to change into. So she went to find the steward of the manor to ask if she could change her clothes there.

I actually wanted Nanzhi to marry this eighth princess who had a harem of husbands and concubines.

But Su Yu kept staring at you, "Princess, what kind of divination are you planning to have?"

"Is that Yi Ruixian behind her?"

Su Yu opened his eyes and looked at you indifferently.

The drizzle was getting lighter and lighter, and it looked like the sedan bearers would be soaked to the bone when a sound came from outside the sedan chair.

Liang'er took the clothes from your hand, and Father Sheng smiled at the steward and said, "Steward, may I lead the way? I wish to go and thank the Imperial Advisor."

"Retreat."

There was no screen outside the room, but the painting below didn't match the other decorations at all.

Liang'er was very upset. She held up an umbrella and ran to the sedan chair to greet Sheng's father.

Mr. Sheng followed him down.

The exterior design of the room was all about cooling off, which involuntarily reminded Yi Rui of this seemingly ethereal and otherworldly imperial advisor.

Beneath the screen was a painting of a beautiful woman, dressed in an elaborate and gorgeous vermilion palace gown, with skin as white as snow and a radiant face.

I heard that the Imperial Advisor has an eccentric temper, but he is also very humane. Liang'er thought that the Imperial Advisor would agree to let the people in the village leave, but unexpectedly, the people who came back made Sheng's father leave.

Yi Rui frowned, looking at her rain-soaked skirt.

As Sheng's father tucked him in, he was startled to see a tear slide down the corner of his eye.

"You can't manage on your own, so let him stay inside and keep watch."

The eldest princess doesn't even have a single woman in her household now; perhaps she can truly treat me sincerely.

Arriving at a more spacious courtyard, the butler went behind the door and knocked.

When you're changing clothes, you always have this unsettling feeling, like someone is secretly watching you.

He was saying those things, but what he saw outside was a cacophony of sorrow and despair.

"Father, I don't want to marry the Third Princess, please help me."

It was still the same, except that only Sheng's father left.

Yi Rui is too stubborn; how could he possibly win against these female concubines?

After only a short while, you put aside your doubts and went to change your clothes in front of the screen.

Will I hate him...?

Just when we thought we were going to get soaked in the rain inside, Yi Rui unexpectedly called us.

"The Eldest Princess."

Few people want to consult Su Yu for that divination, and it's not particularly special.

"Let's retreat and avoid the rain."

Today, did you travel by horse-drawn carriage, but instead had someone carry you in a sedan chair?

The steward led Sheng's father and Liang'er to the door of a room. "Princess, that room is occupied. Please go and change to another one."
