The next day, Pei Jinxiao and Sheng Yunrong came to the Qin Mansion together. When the Qin Mansion's wife saw them, her face was full of surprise. She greeted them warmly and said, "My Lord, Madam, you are here. After not seeing you for many years, you are still as charming as ever. I envy you so much."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and exchanged pleasantries with Madam Qin, while Pei Jinxiao stood aside, watching them quietly.

After the greetings, Pei Jinxiao explained his purpose to Madam Qin. Madam Qin was filled with emotion and said, "Your Highness, what happened back then was all our Qin family's fault. We never thought that you would have such an outstanding wife."

Pei Jinxiao smiled and said, "Madam, you are too kind. The past is over. Now I just want to cherish the people around me and do my best for the country and the people."

Madam Qin looked at Pei Jinxiao with a hint of respect in her eyes.

After staying in Qin's house for a while, Pei Jinxiao and Sheng Yunrong said goodbye and left. They returned to Prince Jing's house, and Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao and said, "Prince, have you really let it go?"

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong with determination in his eyes, and said, "Madam, I have let it go. I want to cherish the person in front of me and create a better future for you and the children."

Sheng Yunrong smiled, with a glimmer of tears in her eyes.

…

Pei Jinxiao stopped and realized that he was walking towards the lake. He frowned slightly and turned to avoid the slippery mud by the lake, but his eyes fell on a small island on the other side of the lake. The island was full of greenery and flowers, and he thought of Qin Fu's wife Sheng Yunrong.

"Your Highness, where are you going?" Sheng Yunrong's voice came from behind. She was wearing a lavender silk skirt, the hem of which swayed in the wind like a blooming flower.

Pei Jinxiao turned around, looked at Sheng Yunrong, and smiled slightly: "Madam Qin, I was just walking around casually, and I didn't expect to walk here."

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently, walked forward, and lingered on the lake: "Your Highness, the scenery in this lake is really beautiful. Look, the flowers on that small island are in full bloom. Why don't we go over and take a look."

Pei Jinxiao thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, Madam Qin, please."

The two of them took a boat to the island. Sheng Yunrong looked at the sea of ​​flowers around her, a trace of joy flashing in her eyes: "Your Majesty, look at these flowers, each one is blooming so brightly, as if to welcome our arrival."

Pei Jinxiao smiled and said, "Madam is really thoughtful. She even knows how to cater to your preferences for these flowers."

Sheng Yunrong blushed slightly and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am flattered. I just think the scenery here is beautiful and I want to enjoy it with you."

The two walked on the island, talking in low voices from time to time, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant. Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong's profile, her eyes slightly raised, with a gentle smile on her lips, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Your Highness, how do you think the scenery in this lake compares to the Qin Mansion?" Sheng Yunrong suddenly asked.

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "The scenery of the Qin Mansion is naturally beautiful, but the scenery of lakes and mountains here has a unique flavor. Especially you, Madam, are like a person in a painting."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with shyness, she lowered her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Pei Jinxiao looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Madam, do you know why the fish in this lake are so plump?"

Sheng Yunrong shook her head: "I'm not sure, please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Pei Jinxiao said: "The reason why the fish in this lake are plump is because they live in clear water and eat fresh grass. Madam, you are just like the fish in this lake. Living in a beautiful environment, you will naturally become more and more beautiful."

Sheng Yun's face flushed, and he looked at Pei Jinxiao with gratitude in his eyes: "My Lord, you are always so good at talking, I feel embarrassed."

Pei Jinxiao smiled and said, "Madam, I actually have something else to say to you."

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned and looked at Pei Jinxiao: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Pei Jinxiao looked at her deeply, and said sincerely: "Madam, I would like to invite you to watch a lantern festival together. Would you be willing to do me the honor?"

Sheng Yunrong's heart moved, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "My Lord, are you really willing to invite me to the Lantern Festival?"

Pei Jinxiao nodded: "Yes, I want to spend this wonderful night with you."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes were filled with joy, and she nodded gently: "My Lord, I do."

The two of them enjoyed the flowers and talked on the island until it was getting dark, and then they took the boat back. Back at Prince Jing's mansion, Pei Jinxiao ordered people to prepare a sumptuous dinner and invited Sheng Yunrong to dine together. During the dinner, the two of them talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After the dinner, Pei Jinxiao personally sent Sheng Yunrong back to Qin's house. In front of the Qin's house, Sheng Yunrong stopped and looked at Pei Jinxiao, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes: "My Lord, I am very happy to spend today with you. But it's late at night, you should go back to your house and rest."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "Madam, I am indeed very happy today. Then I will take my leave and look forward to seeing you next time."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly and watched Pei Jinxiao leave.

…

Sheng Yunrong left the palace, and Sheng Hongxiao came over nervously to ask, "How is it? Sister, are the people in the palace giving you a hard time?"

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Second brother, the people in the palace treat me kindly, but the etiquette is complicated and makes people a little uncomfortable. However, with mother taking care of me, I have not suffered any grievances."

After hearing this, Sheng Hongxiao's frown relaxed slightly, but he was still a little worried: "Sister, you know that mother's situation in the palace is not easy. You must be more careful and don't easily anger the emperor."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, with a bitter smile on her face: "Second brother, I know. Mother has always taught me to be cautious, I will remember it."

At this time, Sheng Hongye came over from the side, his eyes were deep and his tone was calm: "Second brother, sister, what are you talking about?"

Sheng Hongxiao turned around and said to Sheng Hongye, "Brother, my sister just came back from the palace. I was asking her about the situation in the palace."

Sheng Hongye nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Sheng Yunrong: "Sister, mother is in a difficult situation in the palace, you must know your limits and not be willful."

Sheng Yunrong pursed her lips, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "Brother, I will keep your teachings in mind."

Sheng Hongye asked again: "By the way, does mother have any special instructions?"

Sheng Yunrong thought for a moment and said, "My mother asked me to tell my eldest brother that she has been feeling unwell recently and I hope that he can take time to visit her."

Sheng Hongye frowned slightly when he heard this, and a trace of concern flashed in his eyes: "Is mother feeling unwell? I will go to the palace to visit you tomorrow."

Sheng Hongxiao patted Sheng Hongye on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will go with you."

Sheng Yunrong looked at her two brothers and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

Sheng Yunrong was playing the zither in the courtyard. Sheng Hongxiao walked in, looked at her skilled piano skills, and said with a smile: "Sister, your piano skills are getting better and better."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Second brother, you are too kind. I am just killing time in my spare time."
