After returning to the inn, everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion did not take the matter of the Bai family ancestral hall to heart. Instead, they bought pomelo leaves for Xia Yuning to get rid of bad luck.
As for Bai Zhirou, she could not enjoy such treatment.
Xia Yifeng exaggerated the incident that occurred when the elders of the Bai family saw Xia Yuning burning incense, and cursed everyone in the Bai family harshly.
Xia Yuning knew that her brother cared about her and forced a smile.
She knew that the Prince Rong's Mansion alone was not reliable, and she had to find a more powerful backer!
She is a daughter and will get married eventually.
Instead of marrying someone you like, it is better to marry someone who likes you.
The prince's visit to Jiangnan this time was partly due to her contribution, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Xia Yuning took a bath and changed her clothes, then bypassed everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion and knocked on the prince's door.
Her hair was tied up loosely with a jade hairpin, and it seemed to be emitting a hot steam from the fever. It was obvious that she had just come out of the bath.
At this moment, she was not wearing any makeup, and her fair and tender oval face was no bigger than his palm.
And those misty eyes were staring at him without blinking.
The prince's heart paused for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he coughed lightly a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
He intended to keep the door open, but Xia Yuning closed it when she entered. The meaning was self-evident.
The prince's throat rolled involuntarily, and his whole body became hot. He opened the window in some annoyance.
Just as the prince was about to ask Xia Yuning what was going on, she knelt down in front of him.
"This humble servant has long admired His Royal Highness, but previously, due to her status, she was afraid to pursue any such ambitions. Now that I understand where you come from, may I ask His Royal Highness for a place to stay?"
Xia Yuning spoke softly, craning her neck to look at him, while he was leaning over to look at her.
Xia Yuning moved so fast that the hairpin fell to the ground quietly. Her slightly wet black hair instantly fell on her shoulders, looking a bit messy and beautiful.
The loose robe made her neck look graceful and fragile, as if she would be disappointed if he didn't agree.
The prince's angle allowed him to take in Xia Yuning's beauty in full view, and it was also a king's condescending angle, which greatly pleased the prince.
When the prince heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he subconsciously leaned on the table.
Xia Yuning was telling him that even with that kind of relationship, she still secretly liked him!
But how can that be possible?
If such feelings were known to others in this kind of relationship, it would be a disregard for human ethics!
How could she, how could she think that?
But her thinking of him like this gave him an unprecedented and strange satisfaction.
These two extreme emotions continued to swell in his heart, making him feel dizzy.
The prince panicked and took a few deep breaths to suppress the emotions deep in his heart.
The prince drove Xia Yuning out, as he needed to think carefully about this relationship.
He just raised his foot and turned back, but he felt something hard under his feet. When he moved his foot away, he found the jade hairpin lying quietly on the ground.
He picked it up as if possessed by a ghost. As soon as he touched it, it seemed to still be damp from her hair, and he immediately became distracted.
Xia Yuning, who was blocked outside the door, did not expect to succeed in one try. She deliberately dropped her hairpin and left leisurely.
If she could get the prince's promise before returning to the capital, she would be halfway successful.
As for the Third Prince, if she can't get him, then she will destroy him!
Bai Zhirou looked at the small map quietly. Xia Yuning and the prince were walking so close that their positions almost overlapped, which made her think something was wrong.
Yes, the assassin has been sent to the capital, and Xia Yuning will probably have to find other ways to save her life.
It would be nice to be a crown princess, but it depends on whether the emperor is fair.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Zhao noticed that Bai Zhirou beside him was distracted from time to time, and he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Nothing." Bai Zhirou came back to her senses and said.
"What are they doing over there?" The third prince was very curious when he saw many people gathered at the street corner.
A few people walked forward and found that the person standing in the middle was the rich man in the city.
They planned to spontaneously build a monument of immortality for the prince and others, including the name of Princess Mingzhu Bai Zhirou.
The people responded without hesitation. Although the flood had receded, the disaster it brought to them was devastating.
However, the prince's leading role in building dams and Bai Zhirou's spontaneous act of providing porridge to refugees were deeply rooted in people's hearts.
These nobles from the capital are not only of noble status, but also kind-hearted.
Especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With such a crown prince, why should the country worry about the country's strength not being strong and the people's livelihood not being happy?
Almost all the people in the city came, and some refugees supported each other and shouted the name of Princess Mingzhu.
Bai Zhirou's eyes were filled with tears when she saw this scene. She had never thought that she could get the support of these people, and their support was so simple and sincere.
After returning to the inn, Bai Zhirou couldn't calm down for a long time.
She suddenly wanted to change her fiefdom. It was true that there were lychees in Lingnan, but how could lychees compare to these simple people?
Having made up her mind, Bai Zhirou felt happy.
After lunch, the group prepared to set off back to Beijing.
It's never good to stay in Jiangnan for too long.
However, the new prefect had not yet been appointed, so the third prince decided to stay here temporarily and wait for the new prefect to arrive before returning to Beijing.
On the way, Xia Yuning told Princess Rong about her plan. She had been fond of the prince for a long time and wanted to marry him.
"But didn't you say that you dreamed that the person sitting in that position was the Third Prince? Yuning, don't be impulsive." Princess Rong thought that she was too impatient and that was why she did this.
No one expected that Xia Yuning was determined to destroy the Third Prince, and the Third Prince's stay in Jiangnan just gave her the opportunity!
After hearing her words, Princess Rong was stunned for a long time.
The biological mothers of the Third Prince and the Crown Prince have always been at odds with each other, and the two of them are only harmonious on the surface.
If they eliminated the Third Prince, a powerful rival for the Crown Prince, wouldn't that be a good thing for them in front of the future monarch?
Maybe the three sons will have a bright future.
Thinking of this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Princess Rong's eyes.
This Xia Ziyuan really cannot be kept!
When they stopped to rest on the road, Xia Yuning asked the servants to put up a curtain by the stream. She took advantage of the fact that no one was around to swim barefoot in the stream to cool off.
Bai Zhirou did not go down because she was afraid of the mosquitoes in the mountains. She opened the map and watched Xia Yuning's every move.
Sure enough, not long after Xia Yuning arrived at the stream, she saw a bright yellow dot walking towards her.
It’s the prince.
"This stream is clear and pure, it is indeed a good place to go!" He waved his paper fan lightly, looking like a modest gentleman, and paused slightly when his eyes fell on the pair of exquisite jade feet in the stream.
