The two finally understood each other's feelings and were reluctant to part. Although they had been walking for a long time, they did not feel tired, but were full of energy.

The area around the lake is bustling with activity, with many restaurants and gardens built nearby, and even many people releasing sky lanterns on the grass in the gardens.

Sky lanterns fly in the sky one after another, like a dream.

Taking advantage of the quiet of the night, Chen Tian took Bai Su to the garden and hugged his beloved from behind. They snuggled up to each other tightly, gazing at the sky lanterns floating away.

But the romantic atmosphere did not last long, as a loud noise and some sharp scolding came from not far away.

Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Tian raised his eyebrows, and saw that a sky lantern on an open space on the east side seemed to have a problem and was burning.

Several people stood next to the lantern, including Yan Qingying and Bai Feizhang.

It’s true that enemies often meet on a narrow road!

Chen Tian sighed, then saw Bai Feizhang tightly grabbing a young man wearing a fox mask and cursing, "You little thief, you broke Miss Yan's sky lantern and you're still trying to deny it!"

"Your Majesty, I mean me. I've already said sorry. I didn't mean it."

The young man's tone was filled with impatience as he desperately struggled to break free. Although he was clearly skilled in martial arts, he was still young and faced the taller and more muscular Bai Feizhang, who was also a martial artist, with no real advantage.

Bai Feizhang had been feeling irritated all day and had been looking for an outlet. The young man's clothes weren't anything special, so he figured he wasn't a nobleman and wouldn't take him seriously. He just wanted to use the opportunity to teach him a lesson and let out some steam.

Chen Tian took a look and with his excellent eyesight he immediately recognized that the seemingly ordinary pendant hanging around the waist of the masked boy was definitely a valuable item that could only be found in the palace.

Looking at the figure and the familiar accent, even though the voice was masked, Chen Tian still easily recognized that the young man was none other than the current Fifth Prince, Situ Chen.

But why is this kid here?

He's so brave without any guards around him. Could he have sneaked out to play on purpose?

Chen Tian had actually guessed 80% of it, and now he looked at Bai Feizhang with a gloating look in his eyes.

Bai Feizhang is a time traveler. If he had known that Situ Chen was the male protagonist in the plot, he would have always wanted to cling to the Fifth Prince.

I wonder what kind of expression he will have when he finds out that the person he is making things difficult for is the very person he has tried so hard to please in the past.

I'm sure it must be colorful and very beautiful.

"Just apologize and say you didn't mean it and then you want to leave? That's not going to happen so easily!" Bai Feizhang said with a malicious look on his face.

When the Fifth Prince heard this, he became even more angry and gritted his teeth, thinking that he would make Bai Feizhang pay when he returned.

But now there are outsiders around, and he doesn't want to reveal his identity, so he can only say dissatisfiedly: "I was in a hurry to leave today and forgot to bring the silver. When I find my servants, I will ask them to compensate me with some silver. Can you let me go now?"

Yan Qingying, who was standing by, watched as the small line of "I wish to find a lover" she had secretly written in the corner was burned. She was stunned for a long time, feeling sad. When she came to her senses, she found that she had somehow become like this.

Even though her wishes had gone awry one after another, she could only consider herself unlucky and didn't want to blame a child. She frowned and said to Bai Feizhang, "Mr. Bai, you should just let go. Since this young man didn't do it on purpose, let it go."

But Bai Feizhang clearly hadn't shown off enough, so he feigned an air of authority and explained, "Miss Yan, you don't understand how dangerous this world is. He's been so reckless, not only knocking over the sky lantern but also nearly injuring you. Maybe he's just a thief. Otherwise, why would he be so panicked? Why not search him now, or hand him over to the authorities?"

"Who are you calling a little thief?" The fifth prince was immediately furious when he heard this and wanted to scold Bai Feizhang immediately.

Yan Qingying's eyes were also full of disapproval: "Mr. Bai, isn't that a bit too arbitrary? It's just a sky lantern that burned, it's not a big deal, let this guy go!"

The Fifth Prince hadn't expected that this girl, who seemed to be in cahoots with Bai Feizhang, would speak up for him again and again. He then turned to look at Yan Qingying, and after seeing her face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The eyes are like round apricots dotted with autumn water, and the eyebrows are like dark eyebrows painted on distant mountains.

Her delicate facial features were embedded in her palm-sized oval face, a typical beauty. From her eyes, Situ Chen could see that she truly believed in herself and wanted to help herself out.

Situ Chen grew up in the palace and naturally saw countless beauties, but he had never seen a woman with such clear eyes.

But when he realized that he needed a young lady to help him out, his face under the mask turned red, and he was even more angry than he was towards Bai Feizhang just now.

Fortunately, Chen Tian, ​​who was watching the show, had had enough and walked over with Bai Su leisurely. He casually broke off a branch and suddenly pulled away Bai Feizhang's hand from the Fifth Prince.

The back of Bai Feizhang's hand was suddenly hit, and it became red and swollen. He wailed in pain and shouted angrily, "Who!"

But when she raised her head and met Chen Tian's half-smile, she was immediately dumbfounded.

"Ning, His Royal Highness Prince Ning!"

"Second Young Master Bai is so arrogant." Chen Tian said indifferently. After listening to their quarrel just now, he had almost guessed the cause and effect of the matter.

"Your Highness Prince Ning, no, it's..."

When Bai Feizhang heard Chen Tian's words, he hurriedly tried to explain, but it was clear that Chen Tian didn't have the patience. He simply waved his hand at him and said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's all go back and stop causing trouble."

Hearing this, Bai Feizhang dared not refuse. Noticing Bai Su standing beside Prince Ning, he suppressed his resentment and resentment. He glared at the Fifth Prince, then lowered his head and said "yes." He then quickly stepped back and waited beside Yan Qingying, intending to escort her away.

Although Yan Qingying felt lucky to have met Prince Ning and Prince Bai again, she was a daughter of the Yan family and it was not appropriate for her to stay out too late. She greeted Bai Su and Chen Tian, ​​then turned to look at the young man wearing a fox mask and handed him a handkerchief.

"Hey young man, you'd better bandage the wound on your hand quickly and see a doctor as soon as possible!"

When Situ Chen heard this, he realized that he had just been trying to avoid the guards and had been scratched by a bush. Although the wound was not deep, it did bleed a little and looked quite serious.

Seeing the woman opposite looking at him with concern, Situ Chen finally took the handkerchief and said awkwardly, "Thank you..."

Yan Qingying smiled, didn't care, turned around and left with Cuizhu.

Chen Tian looked at the Fifth Prince, holding his handkerchief and staring at Yan Qingying's departing figure, and curled his lips. When the young man realized what was happening and was about to take the opportunity to slip away, he easily hooked his hand around his collar.

"What? Chen'er didn't even greet the Emperor's uncle when he saw him?"

Hearing Prince Ning's lazy voice, Situ Chen instantly felt a cold sweat on his back. Knowing that his identity was exposed, he stopped struggling. He quickly took off his mask and politely said, "Chen'er greets the emperor's uncle."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Su who saluted him with a fist, and nodded politely, "Prince."

Chen Tian was very satisfied with Situ Chen's understanding, and did not dwell on the fact that he had sneaked out to play. He said directly: "Let's go and accompany the emperor uncle to tour the lake."

Situ Chen originally thought that Chen Tian would definitely ask the guards to send him back to the palace, and he was feeling disappointed. However, he didn't know that there was a sudden turn of events, and he hurriedly followed him.

Chen Tian had someone rent a beautiful cruise ship. It wasn't big, but it had everything it needed. The group entered the cabin, which was warm and elegant.

Chen Tian pulled Bai Su to sit by the window where the chessboard was placed. Looking at the lake from the boat, it was a different scene.

Situ Chen still had the curiosity of a teenager. Although he sat on the other side of the room at a distance, covering his injured hand, he still couldn't help looking around.

Although he was a prince, he was still subject to discipline. As the queen's only son, the fifth prince spent far more time studying than the other princes, and had few opportunities to leave the palace for leisure.

Chen Tian glanced at Situ Chen's wound which was casually wrapped with a handkerchief, thinking that this future emperor was actually a good person, and he intended to draw his attention to Bai Su.

He smiled at his beloved and said, "Zisu, you should have some medicine on you, right? Please bandage Chen'er's wound. I'm afraid if this kid keeps doing this, his whole hand will be broken by the time he returns to the palace."

Bai Su nodded when he heard that, walked over and sat next to Situ Chen, took out the golden wound medicine and made a gesture of invitation.

Situ Chen's wound was indeed very painful, so he didn't refuse and offered his hand. Then he saw Bai Su unwrap the handkerchief, sprinkle it with golden wound medicine, and bandage it very neatly. In just a few seconds, the wound on his hand was beautifully bandaged.

"You bandaged the wound so well!" Situ Chen couldn't help but sigh.

He also raised his hand and looked at it again and again. He wrapped it really quickly and well.

Bai Su smiled gently upon hearing this: "It's just a habit. Once you do it more often, you'll naturally get better at it."

Situ Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he realized that the person opposite him was once a famous young general in Xiling.

As for how to get used to bandaging wounds, it was naturally honed on the battlefield, fighting the enemy. Such days of licking blood on the tip of the knife were the daily life of these soldiers.

Thinking of this, Situ Chen was speechless for a moment, and felt even more ashamed of what he had said that day. Fortunately, Prince Ning waved at him at the right time and said, "Chen'er, do you want to come over and play a game of chess with the emperor's uncle?"

Situ Chen immediately stood up and sat over. But just as he picked up the white piece, Chen Tian regretted his decision: "Forget it. The emperor's uncle is too good at chess. Playing chess with you seems like bullying you. How about letting Zi Su play with you?"

As he said that, Chen Tian pulled Bai Su over and asked him to sit opposite Situ Chen. Unconsciously, Bai Su and the Fifth Prince were playing chess.
