Sheng Yunrong gritted her teeth and said, "Father, let me go see Prince Jing, maybe I can convince him."

Lord Sheng looked at Sheng Yunrong, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he finally nodded: "Okay, you have to be careful."

Sheng Yunrong turned and left, and Pei Jinxiao quickly followed. The two hurried to Prince Jing's mansion in the night, and the atmosphere was tense along the way.

When they arrived at Prince Jing's mansion, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao were led into the study. Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao sat in front of the desk, looking at Sheng Yunrong with cold eyes.

"Miss Sheng, you are finally here." Pei Jinxiao sneered.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Prince Jing, the Sheng Mansion is willing to support you, but please think carefully, treason is no small matter."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with doubt, and he asked, "Miss Sheng, what do you mean?"

Sheng Yunrong said: "Prince Jing, the Sheng family has been loyal for generations. We are willing to serve the country, but we are unwilling to participate in rebellion. If you can ensure that the country is peaceful after the emperor abdicates, the Sheng family is willing to support you."

Pei Jinxiao was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you. But the Sheng Mansion must fully support me."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Prince Jing, the Sheng Mansion will not let you down."

After returning from Prince Jing's Mansion, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao both felt relaxed.

…

"Cough cough..." Sheng Hongxiao deliberately coughed twice, his eyes moving back and forth between Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao, with a hint of imperceptible cunning in his eyes.

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly, glared at Sheng Hongxiao, then turned around and smiled apologetically at Pei Jinxiao: "Second brother, he is teasing us again."

Pei Jinxiao raised his eyes slightly, his lips curled up slightly, and looked at Sheng Hongxiao and said, "Second Master Sheng, since you have a cough, shouldn't you take a rest?"

Sheng Hongxiao raised his eyebrows and said innocently, "Prince Pei, I just want to liven up the atmosphere. After all, the banquet at Sheng Mansion is very boring."

In the banquet hall of Sheng Mansion, the gorgeous colored glaze lamps sparkled, illuminating the entire banquet hall. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao sat opposite each other, and Sheng Hongxiao sat on the other side of Sheng Yunrong, forming a triangle.

Sheng Yunrong tapped the table lightly and said seriously, "Okay, second brother, stop making trouble. Prince Pei is a guest, we must treat him with courtesy."

Sheng Hongxiao widened his eyes and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, my dear Miss, are you teaching me a lesson?"

Sheng Yunrong blushed and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Prince Pei, let's continue chatting."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with admiration in his eyes: "Miss Sheng is indeed worthy of her reputation. This banquet at the Sheng Mansion is lively because of you."

Sheng Yunrong lowered her head shyly, but there was a smug smile on her lips. Seeing this, Sheng Hongxiao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, thinking to himself: "These two people are really a perfect match."

At this time, the servant of Sheng Mansion hurried into the banquet hall, holding a plate of steaming dishes in his hands. Sheng Hongxiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up and said with a smile: "I'll get some more wine and food, everyone enjoy it."

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, but her eyes never left Pei Jinxiao. Pei Jinxiao felt her gaze and couldn't help but smile gently, his eyes full of tenderness.

After Sheng Hongxiao left, Sheng Yunrong couldn't help but ask: "Prince Pei, what do you think of my second brother?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly. "Mr. Sheng is talented and witty, and is a rare talent."

Sheng Yunrong sighed softly: "But, he always teases people like this, which makes people feel helpless."

Pei Jinxiao chuckled and said, "This shows that he has you in his heart, that's why he is like this."

Sheng Yunrong blushed, but her heart was filled with warmth. As they were talking, Sheng Hongxiao came back with wine and food. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes: "It seems that you two had a good chat during the time I was away."

Sheng Yunrong glared at Sheng Hongxiao and said with a deliberately stern face: "Second brother, you are becoming more and more presumptuous."

Sheng Hongxiao laughed and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I'll shut up."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Hongxiao and thought to himself, "The eldest lady and the second brother of the Sheng Mansion are really an enviable family."

As night fell, the banquet at Sheng Mansion was gradually coming to an end. Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao, feeling a little reluctant, but not knowing how to express it. Sheng Hongxiao saw what she was thinking, coughed twice, and reminded her: "Miss, it's getting late, and Prince Pei should rest."

Sheng Yunrong came back to her senses and smiled apologetically: "Prince Pei, I'm sorry to have troubled you tonight. Tomorrow I will accompany you to visit Shengjing and experience the local customs and practices of Shengjing."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Sheng."

Sheng Hongxiao looked at the two of them and thought to himself, "It seems like this marriage is becoming more and more likely."

After the banquet, Sheng Yunrong personally escorted Pei Jinxiao back to the guest room. In the night, the two walked side by side, the moonlight shining on them, looking particularly warm.

Sheng Yunrong frowned slightly and glared at Sheng Hongxiao in dissatisfaction, but she was stunned to see Jing Wang Pei Jinxiao looking at her with a smile. Sheng Yunrong thought to herself, this Pei Jinxiao is indeed as good as his reputation, his every move is full of charm, no wonder he can make everyone in the Sheng Mansion fall in love with him.

"Miss Sheng, I heard that you are proficient in poetry and songs. Could you teach me a song?" Pei Jinxiao chuckled, his eyes revealing anticipation.

Sheng Yunrong's cheeks blushed slightly, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she deliberately frowned and glanced at Sheng Hongxiao, as if blaming him for coughing and disturbing the atmosphere.

Seeing this, Sheng Hongxiao laughed in his heart, but pretended to be innocent and said: "Oh, I just couldn't help it. Miss Sheng, please don't mind."

Sheng Yunrong snorted softly, turned to face Pei Jinxiao, and said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Jing, thank you for your praise. I am sorry to show you my ugliness."

As she spoke, Sheng Yunrong walked to the piano table with light steps, brushed the dust off the strings, and then slowly played. The sound of the piano was melodious, like the gurgling of spring water, or the wind blowing the leaves, intoxicating.

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with admiration, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Miss Sheng is indeed worthy of her reputation. Her piano skills are truly amazing."

Sheng Hongxiao fanned the flames: "Your Highness, listen to this piano, it sounds like the sound of nature. The treasure of the Sheng Mansion is really versatile."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and turned to look at Sheng Hongxiao: "Second Brother Sheng, thank you for the compliment. May I ask if you are also so talented in the Sheng Mansion?"

Sheng Hongxiao laughed when he heard this: "Your Highness, you are kidding me. How can I compare to Miss Sheng? I am just a rough man."

After Sheng Yunrong finished playing a song, she looked back at Sheng Hongxiao, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes. She thought to herself that this second brother always liked to show off in front of her, which was really a headache.

After the music ended, Sheng Yunrong suggested, "Your Highness, why don't we go to the garden to enjoy the flowers together? It's spring now and the flowers are blooming. The scenery in the garden will surely make you linger."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "Miss Sheng's kindness is hard to refuse, so I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

So the four of them came to the garden of Sheng Mansion together.

The garden is full of flowers, birds singing and flowers blooming. It is indeed a pleasant place.
