Shen Qianyue stared at Pei Yanche meaningfully, the word "worry" was almost written on her face, but she actually said she was not worried.
A hypocritical bastard.
Sooner or later, his true colors will be revealed.
"The Imperial City has been quite restless recently. Princess, it would be best if you stay out of the house less."
"There's a lantern festival tonight. Ache, would you like to go with me?"
She heard that the lantern festival in this world was very lively. Since she started practicing Taoism, she had abandoned worldly thoughts and had never been to see it.
Pei Yanche's face was cold: "No, doesn't the princess always hate lantern festivals?"
She has never liked places that are too noisy and bustling, always thinking that they are places that only petty people like.
As a princess who was high and mighty, she naturally could not follow the conventional ways. Therefore, she had never been to the Lantern Festival and naturally looked down on it.
"If you don't want to, forget it. Bai Zhi, go and get Lan Sichen over here."
Shen Qianyue called out softly towards the door, and Bai Zhi was also a smart person, so she went there immediately.
Pei Yanche's face instantly turned green.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Since Master Lan is here to accompany you, why did the princess need to ask me to come?"
After saying that, he coldly flicked his sleeve, brushed her hand away and turned to leave.
"Princess, please ask anyone to accompany you. Che's humble appearance cannot compare to Master Lan's elegant demeanor."
Bai Zhi's eyes widened and she asked cautiously, "Princess, should we still call him Master Lan?"
Shen Qianyue almost bit her teeth to pieces. This damned bastard, why didn't he play by the rules?
"Shout, why not?"
As soon as I walked out of the mansion, I heard the servants in the princess's mansion talking.
"Have you heard? The princess is going to the Lantern Festival with Master Lan today, and she has given us quite a bit of silver as a reward, enough to cover half a month's wages."
"Yes, the princess has been kind recently and seems to be more sympathetic to us. It's all thanks to Master Lan, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten this benefit."
This time, Pei Yanche's face was completely dark.
He flicked his sleeves, jumped on his horse, and left quickly.
Bai Zhi went over to call Lan Sichen in person. Upon hearing that, a smile appeared on Lan Sichen's brows.
"Miss Baizhi, please don't lie to me. The princess only favors His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so why did she send me away?"
Bai Zhi had no idea what the princess was thinking. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was obviously unhappy, but she still insisted on asking Master Lan to go. Wasn't this obviously playing on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's sore spot?
"If Master Lan doesn't want to, the princess won't force him."
Bai Zhi was about to leave but was stopped by Lan Sichen.
"Wait a minute, let me change my clothes, then I'll go with you."
Lan Sichen specially chose a dark green robe, covered with a white fox fur coat, and his long black hair was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin, making him look tall and graceful.
Just standing there is an excellent landscape ink painting.
Like bamboo and jade, polished and elegant, a handsome young man.
By the evening, people had already left their homes to attend the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival was lively and it was said that the courtesans from Fengyue Baolou would come out to parade through the streets today.
The most beautiful woman in Fengyue Treasure House was second only to the eldest princess in beauty.
She is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her waist is as slender as a willow, and she is as charming as the legend says.
Not only that, she is also the most talented woman in the capital, with both talent and skills. Even though she lives in a brothel, she still attracts countless powerful people.
"Prince Pei, today is the Shangjing Lantern Festival. Aren't you going to accompany the princess to the festival? Why are you still staying in the Inspection Office?"
It's already past his duty time, but Prince Pei still hasn't left.
As soon as it got dark, red lanterns were already lit up on the streets of Shangjing.
Against the backdrop of the beauty of the sky, there is also a sense of the prosperous beauty of auspicious snow heralding a good harvest.
Seeing that Pei Yanche was silent, his colleagues stopped talking to him.
After all, Prince Pei had just arrived at the Inspection Department and his identity was sensitive. Everyone in the Inspection Department was wary of him, and there were spies watching him everywhere in the Inspection Department.
Every move will be reported to Lin Lang and Emperor Xuande.
"Princess, be careful."
The carriage had already stopped at the gate of the princess's mansion. Lan Sichen was about to help someone get on the carriage when a hand suddenly reached out and passed over him.
Holding Shen Qianyue's hand, Lan Sichen was startled. He turned around and saw Pei Yanche coming over at some point, with a terrifying coldness on his body.
"Isn't Prince Pei in the Inspection Office? How come…"
"I'm used to serving the princess. Does Master Lan know how to serve the princess?" Pei Yanche stared at him with his sharp eyes.
No one can touch Shen Qianyue except him!
Lan Sichen's face darkened slightly, and he took two steps back without moving forward. He said gently, "The princess asked me to join her at the Lantern Festival today. Since Prince Pei doesn't mind, then I'll go with her."
He really would settle for second best. At this time, Shen Qianyue should remain silent appropriately.
Bai Zhi suddenly understood why the princess insisted on calling Master Lan.
Isn’t this the effect?
Pei Yanche did not appreciate it, but instead said sarcastically with a smile: "The princess invited me first, and then invited you."
Bai Zhi: ...
Hold it in, don’t laugh!
You must not laugh!
Lan Sichen's face stiffened slightly, and the hands in his sleeves suddenly tightened.
I see……
Pei Yanche probably rejected the princess, which is why Bai Zhi came to call him.
It turned out that in the princess's eyes, he was the worst choice.
Pei Yanche was about to enter the carriage with Shen Qianyue when he heard her voice coming from inside.
"Since you have already rejected me, why do you want to ride with me? I don't like people who reject me. Lan Sichen, get on!"
Pei Yanche's hand froze in mid-air. Lan Sichen walked past him, a smile on his lips that was gentle yet seemed provocative: "Your Highness, please ride your own horse."
"My Lord, you are courting death!"
Xiao Ba looked at Pei Yanche who was standing alone outside the carriage watching them leave, and suddenly felt that he seemed a little pitiful, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the male protagonist.
Shen Qianyue snorted coldly: "I feel sorry for the man who has been unlucky all his life. Ever since I took over this body, I have obeyed him in everything. I don't owe him anything, so why should I look at his face?"
"Besides, if I don't push him, how long will it take for this mission to be completed?" Shen Qianyue rolled her eyes.
Through the gap in the carriage curtain, she saw Pei Yanche standing behind her, who was getting smaller and smaller, and she couldn't help but feel cold.
"Princess, today's Lantern Festival is quite lively. There's a riddle-guessing competition in the downtown area ahead. If you win first place, there's a reward. Are you interested, Princess?"
Shen Qianyue was wearing a purple Luo skirt, which made her gorgeous little face look more worldly.
The carriage wobbled as it drove towards the downtown area. Shen Qianyue didn't know what she was thinking about, and she was a little distracted.
The smile in Lan Sichen's eyes gradually cooled: "Princess?"
"This princess has no interest in guessing riddles or anything like that."
