Although Xiao Tang felt sorry for her crying, that was all she felt.
She shrugged lightly.
"So what if you made a mistake? Sending you back to Western Qin is already more than enough; we've done everything we could."
After saying that, she pulled Di Jingling away.
Qin Biyu, her eyes red and brimming with tears, stared intently at their retreating figures.
...
After that, Xiao Tang heard the news that Princess Biyu of Western Qin had been sent back.
Qin Biyu's brother, the Third Prince, showed no sign of anger and politely took his leave.
This farce of a marriage alliance has come to an end.
Having dealt with the troublesome princess of Western Qin, Xiao Tang began planning how to confess his feelings.
She has to complete her dating mission.
But the problem is...
She ran through all the romantic atmospheres and confession scenes in her mind, but when these scenes flashed through her mind, she felt that there was not a trace of romance in them.
Especially when the male lead's face is superimposed onto the main villain's in the scene...
Absolutely ruthless!
Ruyi brought her a bowl of lotus seed soup and handed it to her.
"Your Highness, what is troubling you?"
Sitting in the courtyard, watching the carp in the pond, with a furrowed brow, is a clear sign of worry.
Xiao Tang said awkwardly, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about how... cough cough, are there any impressive or beautiful gardens in the capital?"
ah?
Ruyi was dumbfounded.
She didn't quite understand.
garden……
The description of this garden was rather ambiguous; if she really wanted to find out, she really thought of the imperial palace's back garden...
"Your Highness, the palace's back garden is full of flowers, which should suit your taste."
Xiao Tang slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Yes, that's it!"
Ruyi was startled when she saw that she seemed to have made up her mind.
Just as he was about to ask the princess what she was planning to do, Xiao Tang was already preparing to head to the palace.
soon……
Ruyi then got the answer.
The princess had palace maids and eunuchs bring in various flowers, which were then arranged in the garden of the prince's residence.
Such vibrant and beautiful flowers could never possibly appear in the Regent's Palace.
Because the regent simply didn't like these things.
She had heard before that the Regent had only ordered the planting of a bamboo grove, and that he forbade the appearance of any other flowers.
Now……???
"Your Highness, if...if the Prince sees what you're doing, won't he be angry?"
Xiao Tang had no time to deal with Ruyi.
She directed the palace servants to arrange the flowerpots into a heart shape.
If we're going to be romantic, let's go for industrial romance!
Anyway, as an older single woman who has never been in a relationship, she just doesn't understand what romance is...
If romance isn't enough, then let's make up for it with props.
Xiao Tang silently recited her confession lines in her mind.
Everything is ready.
Waiting for the return of the main villain.
I just wonder when he'll be back?
They waited and waited until dark, but the villain still hadn't returned.
Xiao Tang also gradually became restless.
Yan Shi returned and reported: "Your Highness, news has come from the palace that the Prince left shortly after entering the palace today, apparently... to track down someone?"
Xiao Tang immediately wilted.
She knew things wouldn't go so smoothly.
She waved her small hand weakly, signaling Yan Shi to step back.
Yan Shi felt very sorry for her when he saw her like this.
Why do you look so lost and dejected?
It's not like I'm heartbroken.
Yan Shi's lips twitched slightly, but he ultimately said nothing and retreated.
However, before leaving, I took one last look at the courtyard, which was full of flowers.
Did the princess arrange all this in the hopes that the prince would come back and see it?
But Your Highness... doesn't seem to like flowers?
He scratched his head.
They're gone.
Xiao Tang paced back and forth in the garden, looking rather sullen.
Should we wait another hour?
After waiting for what felt like forever, and with the villain still not back, she had no choice but to... chase after him!
Another hour passed, but the villain still hadn't returned...
Seeing her restless state, Ruyi felt sorry for the princess. She went out to inquire and returned to tell Xiao Tang, "Princess, Yan Shi has received the latest news from the secret guards. It seems the prince won't be returning tonight..."
Oh~~~
What a pity.
My confession failed.
If a task fails, can I move on to the next one?
She was a little disappointed.
It wasn't just because the mission failed; the bigger reason was that he didn't express his feelings to the main villain.
Doesn't the main villain feel like he missed out on a fortune?
Her first ever confession of love... failed miserably!
Xiao Tang sighed, "Fine, you can leave now."
Ruyi couldn't bear it, so she said to Xiao Tang, "Your Highness, the Prince left in a hurry this time, probably because he had something special to investigate. Don't worry."
"Who's worried?"
Seeing Xiao Tang's stubborn expression, Ruyi secretly stuck out her tongue.
Your Highness, you are just saying one thing and meaning another.
They were so worried they couldn't sleep!
"Alright, you can leave now. I need to rest too."
Seeing Xiao Tang lying down dejectedly, Ruyi could only helplessly turn around and leave silently.
She went to the door and saw Yan Shi standing guard outside. She shook her head. "The princess has already gone to sleep. Why did the prince... suddenly leave? Where did he go?"
The thought of the princess's dim eyes filled her with heartache.
