The girl's voice was already soft, and now she was using it in a coquettish tone, making it hard for anyone to refuse.

"Your phone." Xie Yunzhou handed Shi Xi her phone, saying, "You can play with it slowly when we get back."

"Huh?!" Shi Xi took the phone, which was both unfamiliar and familiar. "How did my phone end up with you?"

"I brought it with me from your assistant." Xie Yunzhou didn't go into details. "You can go online and just remember that you're healing yourself."

Shi Xi nodded, touching her phone, tears welling up in her eyes.

Waaah, it's been so long, my dear machine.

Shi Xi glanced at Ning Yu and Rui An's expressions and asked, "How did your discussion go?"

Although she was classified as a child, the conclusion is now being reached.

She has the right to know, doesn't she?

"The wedding will proceed as planned," Ning Yu said.

Shi Xi looked at Xie Yunzhou.

Xie Yunzhou patted the girl's head and comforted her, "It's just a formality."

Shi Xi's lips twitched slightly.

What exactly was discussed that made Xie Yunzhou willing to compromise and agree to let her wear a wedding dress and marry someone else?

Ryan said, "During this time, Shixi will continue to live in the palace, and I will ensure her safety."

Shi Xi raised her hand and asked, "Can I bring my phone?"

Ryan: "Okay."

He hadn't expected that this was the issue Shi Xi cared about.

I really want to pry open Shi Xi's brain and see how much water is inside.

Aren't you afraid they'll sell her?

Shi Xi took the tablet and phone back home, and surprisingly, she no longer had any worldly desires.

What's fun about e-waste?

It's better to read a book, appreciate some paintings, and enjoy your time.

After returning from the villa, Rui'an relaxed his confinement of Shi Xi, allowing Shi Xi to freely enjoy the sights of the palace.

Shi Xi didn't care at first, but later she discovered that the palace had many precious paintings and a separate studio, so she sat in her little wheelchair and wandered around the palace.

As Shi Xi was admiring the famous painting in front of her, she heard someone calling her name.

"Miss Shi."

Shi Xi looked over and saw Tao Boli, whom she had met before.

"Hello, Mr. Tao," Shi Xi greeted politely. "Are you going to see Ruian?"

"The eldest prince sent me to keep you company," Tao Boli said gently. "I heard the princess has recently taken a liking to looking at paintings?"

"Actually, it's not that bad. I just heard these paintings are very expensive, so I wanted to come and take a look." Shi Xi smiled shyly.

Her artistic skills are really quite ordinary.

Especially Western paintings.

I don't quite understand it.

“Behind every painting is a story.” Tao Boli walked up to Shi Xi. “Let me tell you about them.”

"Won't this take up your time?" Shi Xi asked, a little embarrassed.

"It's alright, I don't usually have anything to say." Tao Boli's voice was mellow, and his introduction carried the air of a scholar, making people feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

From Tao Boli's introduction, Shi Xi could tell that he had a broad knowledge base, and his introduction was well-balanced in terms of detail, making it interesting and vivid.

Shi Xi became completely absorbed as she listened.

Noticing Tao Boli cough a few times, Shi Xi snapped out of her reverie and said, "Let's go have some afternoon tea."

"Okay." Tao Boli pushed Shi Xi into the garden.

The maid prepared afternoon tea and snacks and brought them up to the two of them.

Shi Xi originally loved desserts, but the desserts made by the royal family were too sweet, so she specially asked the chef to make a less sugary version so that she could eat them.

"I heard you're a duke?" Shi Xi asked, puzzled. "Aren't you Chinese? How can you be a duke here?"

Shi Xi spent some time in the royal palace and gained a general understanding of the noble hierarchy.

Even from the respectful attitude of everyone in the palace towards Tao Boli, Shi Xi could tell that Tao Boli was no ordinary person.
