Chang'an smiled but said nothing.
Lin Shangde and his wife looked at each other but did not speak.
Privately, they didn't want their daughter to accept such an expensive gift, but it didn't seem right to just refuse it either.
"Princess Xuan, although Yanran likes it very much, the [Begonia Noodles] are too valuable and Yanran cannot accept them." Lin Yanran pushed the item in front of Chang'an, "I hope Princess Xuan will take it back."
"If you want to give something, you must give it something that this princess values, and if you want to accept something, you must accept it willingly." Gu Changan said, "Just think of it as a meeting gift from this princess. Don't think too much about it."
Chang'an glanced at Lin Shangde and continued, "It's not that Chang'an doesn't understand the etiquette of the world. Because of Prime Minister Lin's current status in the court, Chang'an came here today only to bring a box of rouge for Yanran.
I didn't give Prime Minister Lin anything. Even though I knew Prime Minister Lin loved tea, I didn't dare bring any tea to Prime Minister Lin, for fear of accidentally ruining Prime Minister Lin's reputation.
"Princess Xuan, this is something you should consider," Minister Lin said immediately. "In that case, Yanran, this is a matter between you and Princess Xuan. You women should make the decision on your own."
Lin Yanran looked at Changan, "Princess Xuan has a straightforward personality. She says whatever she wants. Yanran likes this kind of personality. So Yanran will not be hypocritical and refuse. To be honest, I have always wanted this [Begonia Noodles], but I just couldn't afford it, let alone buy it, so Yanran accepted it."
Changan smiled, "Take it, I'm going to give it to you."
"Indeed." Lin Yanran stood up. "Yanran will fetch the pipa and follow Princess Xuan to the mansion."
Chang'an did not wait for Lin Yanran to leave together. She could see that Lin Shangde still had something to tell his daughter.
In the carriage, Chang'an immediately ordered Dongxue to burn the charcoal fire in the carriage more vigorously.
Changan thought about Lin Yanran's words and always felt that there was something wrong. At least she lied.
[Begonia Noodles] She wanted it, but couldn't bear to buy it, let alone afford it. So how did Lin Yanran get everything she used in the past? Could it be that it was given to her by others?
Dongxue looked at Changan thoughtfully, "Miss, what are you thinking about?"
"It's okay, Dongxue, tell them to hurry up, I'm cold."
Dongxue frowned. She remembered that the young lady was not afraid of cold, but was only afraid of heat. How come she suddenly became so immune to cold?
"Fu Cheng, please walk faster. My lady is cold."
Fu Cheng knew that Chang'an was injured because of saving the prince, and said, "Okay."
The carriage sped up immediately, and the driver drove very steadily. Even though the speed increased, it did not feel bumpy.
"Miss." Dongxue supported Chang'an, "We're here."
Fu Cheng, who was standing by, saw Chang'an's lips were purple, he must have been frozen.
He walked quickly into the mansion and instructed Bai Lu to put more charcoal in Chang'an's room.
"It's still warm inside." Chang'an ordered, "Give me some ginger sugar water, I need to warm myself up."
Bai Lu, who had been warming the charcoal fire in the room, spoke up, "Miss, after you left, the prince told me to boil some ginger sugar water. I'll go get it right away."
After Chang An drank it, he immediately felt warm all over. "Where's Fu Xue'er?"
Bai Lu reported the truth, "She admitted her mistake herself, and then I gave her medicine and she went to her room to rest."
"Medicine, given by Bei Mingxuan?"
"Yes, the prince ordered that Fu Xue'er be told that if she dares to disrespect the princess again, she must leave the palace and never return." Bai Lu said, "The prince also said that when the princess arrives, Fu Xue'er should come and beg for forgiveness in person. If the princess refuses to forgive her, she should be made to kneel."
Chang'an was unhappy. "Bai Lu, go tell the prince that he is making things difficult for me. If I don't forgive Fu Xue'er, I will appear mean, but if I forgive, I will be unwilling to do so. So, tell him to tell Fu Xue'er not to come over again."
"Yes." Bai Lu left.
"Dongxue," Chang'an ordered, "prepare the pen and ink."
Chang'an wrote a letter, "Dongxue, go back to the General's Mansion and give this to Aunt Wanxin. Wait for her reply and then come back to see me."
"Yes." Dongxue left.
The room was completely quiet. Chang'an closed his eyes and rested, thinking to himself that Qin Taiwei's son was dead, but no news that was unfavorable to the prince had been heard in the palace or the court, as if this incident had never happened.
What's going on?
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?" Bei Mingxuan walked to Chang'an.
"How did you get in?" Chang'an looked at Bei Mingxuan again and glanced at the door, thinking to himself, could it be that Dongxue didn't close the door when she left?
"Walked in."
“…I know you didn’t fly in.”
"!!!" Bei Mingxuan smiled, "Let me guess what you're thinking. You're wondering why General Qin didn't make any move, right?"
Chang An blinked and looked at him, "Did you do what happened to Bei Ming Ye?"
"Are you talking about an affair, or is Bei Ming Ye cuckolded?"
"..." Changan was speechless, thinking to himself, it's just a different way of saying it, "Is there any substantial difference?"
“There are substantial differences.”
Chang An was stunned by his words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I'm not interested in this question, but that woman is truly innocent. She's just the daughter of an ordinary family. You've really hurt her terribly."
"Ordinary people." Bei Mingxuan asked, "Who told you?"
Chang'an's heart was shocked, and he thought to himself, could I be wrong?
"That woman wasn't from an ordinary family, but the daughter of the Minister of War of the Shijin Kingdom. Who knows what role that woman played in this?"
"!!!Shijin Kingdom? Assistant Minister of War?" Chang'an thought about Bei Ming Ye's true identity.
She couldn't help but shake her head. "Forget it, let's just leave it to fate. I can't care about that much. You just came in and mentioned the matter of General Qin. Did something happen in the court?"
"It's a good thing." Bei Mingxuan said, "At the court today, the emperor has handed this matter over to Lin Xu. Overall, everything is moving forward according to our planned route."
"That's good." Chang'an thought for a moment, "What do you think will happen to the prince in the end?"
"Of course, he'll be an ordinary prince in the end." Bei Mingxuan smiled and asked, "Chang'an, what were you thinking about just now?"
"What?" Chang'an didn't quite understand. "What do you want to say?"
"I can't explain it clearly." Bei Mingxuan thought for a moment and sat across from Chang'an, "That feeling is very strange, it seems very ethereal, as if it exists and not there.
For example, many times, I can feel what you are thinking and can guess it almost exactly, but it is always when you are thinking about something about me.
As for other things and other people, I seem to be able to sense them, but it’s always vague.”
