On April 14, in the capital, the sun was not too strong in the morning, and the spring breeze brought a touch of coolness. However, as the end of spring approaches, the feeling of summer heat is looming.
On the busy streets, three figures stood out. They were dressed very elegantly, as if they had walked out of a painting.
Walking in the middle was a young man in a white robe. He was about 1.78 meters tall and had an androgynous face. If it weren't for his obvious male features, he would have really looked like a rich girl dressed as a man. Beside him were two extremely beautiful women. The relationship between the three seemed quite close.
They strolled along the streets, sometimes stopping to admire the scenery, sometimes chatting and laughing, looking very comfortable. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to get going, but rather enjoying the beautiful fireworks.
As they walked, they came to a street deep inside the capital. There were shops on both sides of the street, and people were coming and going, making it very lively. The three of them continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the door of a bookstore.
This bookstore is quite large in scale. Above its plaque are engraved four large characters "Meishan Academy". The font is vigorous and powerful, with majestic momentum, which makes people can't help but admire it.
At this moment, a woman in a red horse-faced skirt, holding the hem of her skirt, ran out of the bookstore excitedly. Her steps were light, like a gust of wind, and she rushed straight to the young man in a white robe.
"Ning'er, you're here!" the woman shouted excitedly, her voice clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
Xiao Ning looked at the excited girl in front of him with a warm smile on his face. He opened his arms, gently embraced the girl, and said softly: "Well, Sister Song Yu, long time no see."
After a long time, Song Yu let her go, then looked at the other two and shouted.
"Aunt, Yue'er, you are here too!"
Xiyue and Song Junwan responded to her voice with smiles on their faces, and then exchanged a few simple pleasantries. Then, Song Yu warmly invited the three of them to enter the bookstore together.
As soon as I stepped into the bookstore, a strong aroma of books and ink hit my nose. Looking around, the store was crowded with people, many customers were standing or sitting, scattered beside the bookshelves, concentrating on reading the books they were interested in. They were immersed in the ocean of books, as if they had forgotten everything around them.
Xiao Ning and his group walked slowly forward, while Song Yu introduced them enthusiastically:
"Ning'er, we have already started publishing the Legend of the White Snake that you gave me in large quantities! This book is now very famous in the capital, and you are worthy of being our great writer Ning Yue! Every book he publishes sells well, it's amazing!"
Xiao Ning raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and waved his hand modestly, saying: "Really? That's great, I was worried that people would be resistant to the theme of human-demon love."
Song Yu quickly shook his head and explained with a smile: "No, everyone likes this story very much! The theme of the story of a human and a demon falling in love is quite novel, and the plot is tortuous and moving, it is very popular with readers!"
Hearing Song Yu say this, a big stone in Xiao Ning's heart finally fell to the ground. She smiled with relief and said, "That's good!" After that, the four of them came to the guest room on the second floor. After Song Yu arranged accommodation for the three of them, she was about to turn around and leave, but Xiao Ning called her.
"Sister Song Yu, how is the eldest princess doing recently?"
Song Yu stopped and didn't say anything. She seemed to be thinking for a while before she spoke.
"Ning'er, the eldest princess's status as crown prince has been impeached..."
"Impeach!"
The three of them showed surprise on their faces. They didn't expect that only three months later, the eldest princess's position as crown prince would be impeached.
Three months ago, Dongfang Qinyin, with the help of Xiao Ning and others, successfully rescued the old emperor Dongfang Xiong who was poisoned by Dongfang Yun. This incident brought about a huge change in the palace situation. The crown prince was dead, the second prince Dongfang Yun was imprisoned and executed for killing his brothers and sisters, and the third prince Dongfang Yu was stripped of his title for helping his brother usurp the throne.
The old emperor's descendants now only have the eldest princess Dongfang Qinyin and a few young princesses, and there are very few candidates who can be appointed as the crown prince. In the end, the eldest princess Dongfang Qinyin got the opportunity to become the next crown prince.
However, unexpectedly, less than three months later, the incident took another turn. The eldest princess's status as the crown prince was impeached, and this sudden situation made people feel puzzled.
Faced with such a question, Xiao Ning's eyes naturally turned to Song Yu, hoping to get some explanation from him. However, Song Yu's response was only to shake his head and sigh.
"I don't know the reason either," Song Yu said helplessly, "The news of the princess' impeachment was issued two days ago. Now she has been imprisoned in the emperor's own palace and is not allowed to step out of the palace..."
After saying this, Xiao Ning frowned and fell into deep thought. He originally thought that this matter could be resolved smoothly, but he never expected that Dongfang Qinyin would be impeached, which really surprised him.
However, these are not the most critical issues. Now that Dongfang Qinyin has been imprisoned, the most urgent task is to find her in the palace and get to the bottom of the matter.
As night fell, a palace in the imperial palace seemed particularly quiet. A few candles flickered gently in the breeze, illuminating the surroundings in a somewhat dim light. Although the decoration of this palace was luxurious, it revealed a kind of pity-inducing desolation at this moment.
