Qingyin carefully observed the pretty and graceful young woman who had just walked out of the palace. Although she was only of average to above-average appearance, the girl's eyes possessed a unique modern charm and liveliness, which undoubtedly added to her beauty.
"And who is this lady?" Qingyin asked frankly, wanting to get to know Jiang Lingya.
The girl's voice was soft and exceptionally pleasant to hear.
Upon hearing the pleasant voice that could be described as that of a modern virtual anchor, Jiang Lingya subconsciously raised her head and immediately recognized the face of the girl next to Duan Heng.
A single glance back, a smile that could launch a thousand ships; the beauties of the six palaces pale in comparison.
Suddenly, the poem I learned as a child came to mind. Back then, I was a little girl with chubby cheeks, curiously watching the teacher on the stage.
"Does the teacher really have a beautiful woman as pretty as Shiju?"
The gentle teacher patted the little girl's soft head and smiled, "Teacher doesn't know either. It might be true or it might not. Maybe Xiaoya will meet someone as handsome as him when she grows up."
The little girl nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
The teacher's words proved prophetic; he really hit the nail on the head.
Jiang Lingya looked at the stunning beauty in the distance with complicated emotions. Although she was heartbroken that Duan Heng would fall for someone else, she was surprisingly not surprised at all by looking at the breathtakingly beautiful girl.
If Duan Heng doesn't like such a beautiful woman, then she really doubts Duan Heng's taste.
Chen Mo, who followed from behind, was momentarily startled by Qingyin's appearance, but he managed to control his emotions and deal with his returning master.
Seeing Duan Heng's cold gaze and Jiang Lingya standing there dumbfounded, staring at the girl her master had brought, Chen Mo still took the blame.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Miss Lin."
"This is Jiang Lingya, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family." Chen Mo briefly introduced Jiang Lingya's identity, and a familiar, dangerous gaze was cast from afar.
Chen Mo paused for a moment, then forced out a reason: "Uh, I came to discuss opening a shop with you."
The girl's beautiful eyes widened upon hearing this, "Wow!"
"Sister Jiang, you actually know how to do business? That's amazing!"
"Sister Jiang is so beautiful and capable, unlike me, who doesn't know anything. Can I become as capable as Sister Jiang?"
The girl's tone was lively and cute, which she didn't dislike, and the girl had somehow linked arms with her.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful face less than ten centimeters away from her, Jiang Lingya felt so overwhelmed by its beauty that she lost all sense of reason, and her previous sadness seemed to have faded away.
Such a face, and even more beautiful at such close range, isn't it?
Jiang Lingya wasn't a fan of celebrities in modern times, but now she understands what it feels like for fans to spend money on their favorite stars, especially since this stunningly beautiful woman in front of her even praised her personally. Seriously, she can't dislike her at all!
Jiang Lingya tried to control the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but turn up, so her expression looked somewhat distorted.
"Since you want to learn, then learn."
"That's great! Sister Jiang is beautiful inside and out. Could you teach my two sisters to learn together?"
As Qingyin spoke, she pushed her two older sisters, who were following behind her, in front of Jiang Lingya.
A stunningly beautiful woman is staring at him with such longing eyes—who could resist? Jiang Lingya, for one, certainly couldn't.
Whether you have one mule or two or three, you can still drive them. Jiang Lingya waved her hand and said, "Then let's teach them all together."
Duan Heng looked at Qingyin, who was unusually intimate with the strange woman, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, as if he had eaten a sour vinegar.
Ahua has never liked herself that much.
Does that mean he can't guard against men, so he has to guard against women too?
During the day, Duan Heng secretly arranged for Qingyin to stay in a courtyard closest to his East Courtyard—Cuihua Courtyard.
When evening came, Qingyin felt at ease and chased away Duan Heng, who was following her around like a shadow, and dragged Jiang Lingya to sleep in the courtyard all night.
This level of intimacy even made Lin Dahua and Lin Anxi jealous of Jiang Lingya. Only after Qingyin made an excuse did they reluctantly return to their own bedrooms.
In the dead of night, the candles had all gone out, and only the moonlight shining through the window could make Jiang Lingya see the delicate, fair face on the bed.
Even the ultimate looks-obsessed person is ruined by their own face. Jiang Lingya scoffed inwardly, "Sigh, it's hard to find a three-legged toad, but there are plenty of two-legged men. Duan Heng, I've been by his side for so many years, but I haven't really warmed his heart. Fine, I'm not playing along anymore!"
Moreover, Jiang Lingya lowered her head, her lips slightly curved, looking like a naturally unguarded young girl.
She's a simple young girl. Duan Heng likes Ahua, but that doesn't necessarily mean Ahua will like him.
As night fell, Jiang Lingya, with all sorts of random thoughts in her mind, eventually drifted off to sleep.
...
Two things have happened in the capital recently. One is that the fourth prince, who was missing and killed by thieves, has been found, and he has also brought back a young girl who saved his life. It is said that the fourth prince values this girl very much. Not only did he ask the emperor to reward her, but he also opened a courtyard in his mansion for her to live in.
The second thing is that the notorious playboys of the capital are staying in the eastern suburbs and have not returned. It is said that the flower goddess chosen for the flower goddess festival in the eastern suburbs this time is a rare beauty, which has aroused the covetousness of many people. A man from the Jianghu kidnapped this beauty and is still being pursued.
These young noblemen fell in love with the beauty at first sight and stayed in the eastern suburbs of the county to find her.
Two rumors quickly spread throughout the capital. Because of the second rumor, the exaggerated story of a stunningly beautiful woman and a playboy falling in love at first sight and staying in the eastern suburbs for love became so popular that the news that a commoner village girl saved the fourth prince and was even favored by the prince to stay in his mansion was no longer so novel.
