"Ahem!" The servants quickly revealed Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao behind them.

Sheng Yunrong was wearing a lavender silk dress, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and her spirits were high, while Pei Jinxiao was wearing a black robe, with an upright posture and noble temperament. The two stood side by side in front of the vermilion gate of Sheng Mansion, their eyes met, as if silently conveying some kind of information.

Inside the Sheng Mansion, the banquet hall was brightly lit and bustling. Sheng Yunrong's father, Lord Sheng, sat in the main seat, talking to the guests with a smile on his face. The appearance of Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Miss Sheng, you are finally here! We have all been waiting for you." Minister Li, a good friend of Mr. Sheng, immediately greeted her warmly.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and responded politely: "Mr. Li, thank you for the compliment. I just came to join in the fun."

Pei Jinxiao stood aside, quietly observing Sheng Yunrong's expression, secretly admiring her response strategy.

The conversation between Sheng Yunrong, the eldest daughter of the Sheng Mansion, and Pei Jinxiao, the Prince of Jing, began:

"Miss Sheng, I heard that you are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Can you show off your talents today?" Pei Jinxiao asked with a smile, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Sheng Yunrong blushed slightly and shook her head gently: "Prince Jing, you are too kind. How can I dare to deserve such praise? However, since Prince Jing is so kind, I will show my ugliness."

After that, Sheng Yunrong walked to the piano table and gently plucked the strings. A melodious song immediately echoed in the banquet hall. Everyone was fascinated by it and applauded.

After the song ended, Sheng Yunrong slowly stood up and smiled at Pei Jinxiao: "Prince Jing, what do you think?"

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he smiled and said, "Miss Sheng is indeed worthy of her reputation. She played this piece very well."

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong was delighted, but pretended to be modest: "Prince Jing, you are too kind. I still have many shortcomings."

At this time, Lord Sheng came over, looked at Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao, and said with a smile: "You two young people are really a perfect match. Let's have a performance together at the banquet today."

Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao smiled at each other and walked to the center of the stage in tacit understanding. Pei Jinxiao picked up the pipa and Sheng Yunrong picked up the flute, and the two of them played a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" together. The melody was passionate and full of emotion, as if telling the unspeakable emotions in their hearts.

After the performance, Lord Sheng led the applause: "Good! Good! Good! You two are really a perfect match. I envy you so much."

Everyone agreed, and Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao both showed shy smiles on their faces.

After the banquet, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao went for a walk in the garden of Sheng Mansion. The moonlight shone on them, giving them a layer of silver light.

"Miss Sheng, what do you think of today's performance?" Pei Jinxiao asked.

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently: "Prince Jing, what do you think?"

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with mischief, and he smiled and said, "I think we two work well together."

Sheng Yunrong blushed slightly and whispered, "That's because you, Prince Jing, are so talented. I was just lucky."

"Come in." The servants said and pointed in a direction to the two of them.

Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. She brushed her clothes gently and walked into the Prince Jing's Mansion side by side with Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao. The mansion was full of flowers and ancient trees, a scene of tranquility and peace. The two walked along the winding path, and Sheng Yunrong's heartbeat gradually accelerated along the way.

"Miss Sheng, what do you think of my banquet today?" Pei Jinxiao suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Sheng Yunrong smiled lightly, trying to appear calm: "The prince's banquet must be excellent. I have heard that the prince is talented and elegant. After meeting him today, I find that he is indeed as famous as he is."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Miss Sheng, you are too kind. However, I do have a favor to ask of you at today's banquet."

Sheng Yunrong's heart tightened. Could it be that Prince Jing had other intentions for today's banquet? She answered cautiously, "Your Majesty, please tell me. Yunrong will do her best."

The two came to the banquet hall, which had already been decorated magnificently, with exquisite dishes, mellow wine, and all kinds of treasures. Sheng Yunrong secretly marveled that the luxury of Prince Jing's Mansion was indeed well-deserved.

"Today, I would like to ask Miss Sheng for help to assist me in completing an important task." Pei Jinxiao sat in the main seat and said with a serious expression.

Sheng Yunrong's heart was shocked. She knew that the big event that Prince Jing was talking about must be very important. She bowed slightly and asked, "My Lord, what big event is it?"

Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment and said, "This king would like to ask Miss Sheng for help to persuade the Sheng family to support this king in fighting against the traitors and restoring peace to the court."

Sheng Yunrong's face changed slightly. This was an extremely dangerous thing. But she also understood that if it succeeded, it would not only benefit the country and the people, but also improve the status of the Sheng family. She pondered for a moment and replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Yunrong will do her best."

"Miss Sheng, what do you think are the chances of success if I join forces with the Sheng family?" Pei Jinxiao suddenly asked.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "Prince, you are the pillar of the court, and the Sheng family has been loyal for generations. As long as we work together, we will be able to defeat the traitors and restore peace to the court."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with admiration. He picked up the wine glass and said with a smile, "Then please rest assured, Miss Sheng, I will do my best."

After the banquet, Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao stood together in the garden of Prince Jing's mansion. The moonlight shone on them, making them look particularly peaceful.

"Miss Sheng, I have a favor to ask of you." Pei Jinxiao said suddenly.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Pei Jinxiao looked at her deeply and said, "This king would like to invite Miss Sheng to become his princess consort."

Sheng Yunrong blushed. She didn't expect Pei Jinxiao to make such a request. She hesitated for a moment and nodded gently: "Your Majesty, Yunrong is willing."

The servants quickly revealed Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao behind them. Sheng Yunrong was wearing a light pink silk skirt with delicate patterns embroidered on it, like a flower blooming in spring. Her eyebrows were raised, her pretty face was angry, and she stared at the crowd in front of her. Pei Jinxiao was wearing a dark blue long gown, with an upright posture, and his eyebrows revealed nobility and majesty.

The hall of Sheng's house was brightly lit, and everyone saluted Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao, and the atmosphere became tense. Sheng Yunrong glanced at everyone coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "I will get to the bottom of today's matter!"

Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Miss Sheng, I will do my best to assist you."

Sheng Yunrong turned and walked to the main seat in the center of the hall. After sitting down, she scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze. She suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Why is there such a chaotic situation in Sheng Mansion? Who is behind it?"

For a moment, everyone in the hall looked at each other, and no one dared to speak. Sheng Yunrong's eyes turned cold, and she said in a cold voice: "If no one dares to speak, then we will investigate one by one until we find the mastermind behind the scenes!"

At this time, a man in green stood up and said cautiously: "Miss, this matter is because someone in Sheng Mansion spread the news that you...you have an affair with Prince Pei, which caused everyone's misunderstanding."
