When she thought about the fact that the entire Xun family died because of this silver, and the hundreds of people living downstream of the Lingjun River lost their lives because of this silver, Xun Niannian suddenly lost her appetite. Even the delicious food on the table in front of her seemed bland.

Chen Lianhe's attendant at the door was still waiting for Chen Lianhe's response. Seeing that Chen Lianhe didn't respond for a long time, he had to ask again, "Your Majesty, if it is inconvenient for you to see him, I will refuse him now."

Chen Lianhe glanced at Xun Niannian who was across the table and said calmly, "Call him over."

After Huai Mingyuan entered the box and greeted Chen Lianhe, he was stunned to find that there was someone else in the box, a woman.

Then he asked respectfully, "Is this the princess?"

Chen Lianhe nodded slightly.

Huai Mingyuan quickly knelt down again and bowed respectfully to Xun Niannian.

Xun Niannian was not used to others kneeling to her, but when she thought about the fact that her family members died because of the river repair money, and that Minister Huai was deeply involved with the money, she felt at ease, and even did not ask him to stand up after everyone had finished paying their respects.

Huai Mingyuan waited for a long time but Xun Niannian didn't ask him to get up, so he had to look at Chen Lianhe.

Chen Lianhe threw the towel he used to wipe his hands on the table. His attitude was as gentle as ever, and he said to Xun Niannian, "The ground is cold, Minister Huai, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Huai Mingyuan stood up gratefully and couldn't help but secretly glance in the direction of Xun Niannian.

Xun Niannian put down her chopsticks and stood up to say goodbye, "My Lord, you still have official business to attend to. I will not disturb you. I will return home first."

Chen Lianhe glanced at the untouched dishes on the table and said gently, "You haven't eaten much, why don't you eat more?"

Xun Niannian shook her head, "No need, I'm full."

Chen Lianhe nodded, his voice soft, "Then be careful on the road, I will be back later."

Just as Xun Niannian walked out of the box, she heard Huai Mingyuan's emotional voice from behind, "Your Majesty, you are really very good to the princess. The Xun family did such a thing, but you still don't care about the princess at all. You are definitely affectionate and loyal."

Chen Lianhe had a kind face, but his tone was a little cold, "She is my princess. She is a member of the He Palace after she married into the He Palace. The matter of looking for the minister has nothing to do with her."

"Yes, yes, Your Highness is right." Huai Mingyuan nodded repeatedly.

But Xun Nian Nian couldn't bear to listen anymore and quickened her pace.

[Chen Lianhe is such a good actor with two faces! If you were in modern times, you would be the best actor! The Oscars owe you a golden statue! ]

The expression of the person who was being criticized in the box froze for a moment. Best Actor? Golden Man? What the hell is this?

But he could still hear that the girl seemed to be scolding him again...

Xun Nian Nian and Dong Xing were halfway down the stairs when they suddenly stopped on the stairs.

Suddenly, a man and a woman walked into the lobby on the first floor. From their clothes and temperament, one could tell at a glance that they must be of extraordinary status, either rich or noble.

Especially the man, with a tall and slender figure and extraordinary demeanor.

The shopkeeper personally stepped forward to greet them, with a very respectful attitude, "Fourth Prince, Fourth Princess, I didn't know you two would come to Fengxi Tower. I hope I can forgive me for not welcoming you in person!"

The fourth prince? The fourth princess?

Xun Niannian's eyes suddenly lit up.

Are these the male and female protagonists in the book, Chen Lianmo and Zhu Yunlu?

As the male and female protagonists of the book, this couple "Stranger (Mo Lu)" is given the most space in the book. Their tragic love story has earned them many readers' tears. Fortunately, they finally get married and have a happy ending at the end of the novel.

Looking at the two of them at this moment, Xun Niannian felt an indescribable complexity in her mood.

While listening to this book, Xun Niannian also contributed several packs of tissues to this official CP.

In her eyes, these two people were just two paper figures, but now they appeared alive in front of her. She couldn't describe the feeling in words...

[By the way, this Zhu Yunlu is the white moonlight in Chen Lianhe's heart. When Chen Lianhe was a child, he accidentally fell off his horse and was injured during an autumn hunt held by the royal family. He was saved by Zhu Yunlu... Chen Lianhe has been deeply in love with her since then. ]

[However, the man has feelings for her but the woman has no intention. Before Chen Lianhe has a chance to express his feelings, Zhu Yunlu has already become Chen Lianmo's fourth princess.]

[And Chen Lianhe is also engaged, to Xun Niannian, the daughter of the Minister of Works.]

[I have to say, from a distance, Zhu Yunlu's face is quite similar to Xun Niannian's, especially the side profile and the expression...]

As Xun Niannian was murmured in her heart, she suddenly felt a pair of eyes looking at her.

With a dazed look on her face, she met the man's eyes.

Although the distance was a bit far, she still saw it clearly. There seemed to be some surprise flashing in those eyes, and there was also a touch of emotion that Xun Niannian could not understand...

Suddenly, a hand wrapped around her waist from behind. Xun Niannian was startled and turned her head, only to be met with a pair of gloomy black eyes.
