The Eighth Prince was very tired.
He asked his sixth brother for money, but his purse wasn't full. He asked the Prince of Yanping for money, but the prince wasn't there. Why is it so difficult for the dignified eighth prince to borrow money?
Thinking this, the eldest son of the Duke of Tanguo's mansion smiled and said, "The heir of the Prince of Yanping has returned."
The Eighth Prince turned his head and saw the Prince of Yanping walking over.
As he approached, the Eighth Prince asked, "Have you found the girl?"
Prince Yanping, “…”
His ears turned red.
His gaze was fixed on Tang Ze, the eldest son of the Duke of Tan, and Lu Cheng, the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping.
The heir of the Marquis of Xuanping wasn't afraid of his glare. He put his arm around the man's shoulder and asked, "After all this time, have you found the girl yet?"
The Crown Prince of Yanping shook his head.
The street was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, when suddenly something happened ahead and a crowd surged forward. He was walking along peacefully when a girl appeared in his arms.
Prince Yanping, “…”
The girl, wearing a light veil, was pushed into his arms. Since they had met by chance, he immediately became her protector, holding her in his arms to prevent her from being pushed and falling.
Once the crowd thinned out, the girl took two steps back, and even through her veil, he could feel her blushing.
The girl curtsied to thank him, but as she hid in his arms from the crowd, the hairpin in her hair was torn off by his brocade robe, and when she turned around, the hairpin fell to the ground.
The surrounding noise masked the sound of the hairpin falling to the ground, and the girl didn't even notice. By the time he bent down to pick it up, the girl had already disappeared from the crowd.
He searched for a while, but when he couldn't find the girl, he met up with Tang Ze and Lu Cheng. While drinking, he was still thinking about the matter and found it amusing, so he unconsciously smiled a few times. Lu Cheng noticed this and the two of them questioned him, and he couldn't handle it for a moment and told them.
The boat had just passed by that street, and he thought he'd try his luck again, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find the girl.
Seeing that Shen Wan was also there, the Prince of Yanping took out the gold hairpin from his pocket and asked Shen Wan, "That girl was wearing a veil, so I don't know what she looks like, but she recognized me. I wonder which minister's daughter she is? I wonder if Princess Ling has ever seen any noble lady wear this gold hairpin?"
It was a peacock hairpin, beautifully crafted, with emeralds inlaid on it, sparkling brilliantly.
This hairpin...
Shen Wan thought he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
But I really can't remember it right now.
Shen Wan replied truthfully, "It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it before."
The Crown Prince of Yanping was somewhat disappointed.
The heir of the Marquis of Xuanping patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If fate allows, we will meet again."
The Crown Prince of Yanping blushed and said, "I just wanted to return the gold hairpin, that's all."
As the group chatted on the bridge, Yinshuang ran over, lifting her skirt, and exclaimed, "We've finally found the Prince and Princess..."
Yinshuang walked over, with Chen Feng following behind, wearing a mask on his face.
Upon seeing this, the Eighth Prince said, "Chen Feng, why aren't you following your Sixth Brother? Why are you following behind your Sixth Sister-in-law's maid, and wearing a mask on your face?"
As he spoke, the Eighth Prince reached out to snatch the mask.
How could the Eighth Prince possibly be a match for Chen Feng? Chen Feng sidestepped, dodging the Eighth Prince's hand that was about to remove his mask.
Chen Feng could easily dodge the Eighth Prince, but there were still several other people on the bridge, including the Marquis of Xuanping's heir, who were also curious about Chen Feng's sudden wearing of a mask. The Marquis of Xuanping's heir stopped the Eighth Prince and said, "Chen Feng is your sixth brother's bodyguard. He is very skilled, and his mask is not easy to remove."
Before he finished speaking, the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping went to remove Chen Feng's mask. Chen Feng stepped back, and then the eldest son of the Duke of Tan's mansion removed the mask.
As soon as the mask was removed, everyone could see a handprint on the left side of Chen Feng's face.
Everyone, including Shen Wan, was stunned.
Chen Feng quickly snatched the mask back from the eldest son of the Duke of Tan's mansion and put it on.
The heir of the Marquis of Xuanping suppressed a laugh and said, "The slap wasn't very big; it looked like a girl had hit me."
He looked at Yinshuang, "Was it you, my little maid, who did this?"
Silver Frost's face turned bright red. "No, it wasn't me..."
Shen Wan glanced sideways.
Why are you stuttering like this? Could it really be from being hit by Silver Frost?
Chen Feng's martial arts skills were so high that he could withstand Yin Shuang's slap without hitting him squarely, which was something Shen Wan could never have imagined.
The Eighth Prince's lips twitched.
Sixth Brother is henpecked; even his guards are afraid of his wife's maid. He'll probably never regain his authority as a husband.
Now that Chen Feng and Yin Shuang have returned, there's no need to borrow money anymore. Xie Jingyan instructed Chen Feng, "Give one thousand taels to the Eighth Prince."
The Eighth Prince immediately beamed with joy, "Sixth Brother, I knew you were the best to me."
Xie Jingyan ignored him and took Shen Wan's hand as they crossed the bridge.
The heir of Marquis Xuanping and his companions went to find a place to drink.
There were people releasing wishing lanterns by the bridge. Shen Wan walked over, and Yin Shuang followed happily behind.
Xie Jingyan lagged a few steps behind and glanced at Chen Feng. That glance made Chen Feng feel as if his mask was burning.
It's truly shameful that a mere guard like him was beaten by the princess's maid.
It's not just a disgrace to oneself, but also to the prince.
He really didn't expect the princess's maid to hit him. He only realized he had been hit when his face hurt.
Chen Feng, "..."
They had been following the prince and princess to the lantern festival, but there were just too many people on the street. He could keep up with the prince and princess, but Yinshuang couldn't, and they were quickly separated by the crowd. Yinshuang called out "Princess," but the crowd was too noisy for the princess to hear. Afraid that Yinshuang would get lost, he grabbed Yinshuang's arm and led her forward. In the end, he lost Yinshuang along with him.
He took Yinshuang everywhere to look for the prince and princess. When there were many people, he would grab Yinshuang's arm and let go when there were few people.
Without noticing, I reached out and, instead of grabbing Yinshuang's arm, touched something I shouldn't have, resulting in a slap mark on my face.
The princess's maid looks frail, but she can really hurt when she hits someone.
Afraid of embarrassing the prince, he bought a mask and put it on, but it aroused the curiosity of the Eighth Prince and the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping. Not only did they remove the mask from his face, but they also commented on the handprint on his face. He, a first-rank guard, had completely lost face today.
Chen Feng lowered his head, and Xie Jingyan said, "Take down the princess's maid."
Chen Feng was stunned, and without thinking, he said, "The princess is very protective of her own. If I were to take the princess's maid, she would beat me to death."
Xie Jingyan looked at Chen Feng as if he were a fool. "I'm telling you to marry that maid."
boom.
Chen Feng blushed, "I...I have no plans to get married..."
Although he was a guard, he came from a secret service background. How could a secret service officer get married?
Xie Jingyan said, "This is an order."
"...Orders are useless. Even you, my lord, couldn't win over the princess. How could I possibly win over her maid?"
Before Chen Feng could finish speaking, Xie Jingyan shot him a sharp glare, and Chen Feng quickly shut his mouth.
It's tough being a bodyguard. The master can't win over the princess, and he's afraid she'll insist on leaving the palace in the future, so he wants him to tie up the princess's maid. The master really overestimates him.
