Jing Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth. "How can others appreciate you? This prince is actually glad that I once fought against you. As for Zou Yangyao, he is a waste and can't stand a single blow. This prince was wrong in the beginning!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered and he remained silent.
Ni Yueshan didn't say anything, and the atmosphere in the carriage became quiet.
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan strangely. She fell silent when Zou Yangyao was mentioned. It seemed that she was not so easy to let it go.
Stopping at the door of a restaurant, Shao Lecheng stretched lazily and yawned. Ni Yueshan muttered in surprise, "Why are you staying in a restaurant?"
Isn’t it the sky as a blanket and the roof as a bed?
Of course, Jing Yuchen didn't tell her that it was he who didn't allow Shao Lecheng to stay overnight at the Prime Minister's residence.
Shao Lecheng came over with sleepy eyes, looked at Ni Yueshan, and then looked into the carriage: "Why do you two want to go to the temple?"
"Lighten your burden!"
Shao Lecheng: "...Hmm?"
After the three of them arrived at the temple, Shao Lecheng shook off his laziness and took the two of them to the back of the temple.
Jing Yuchen looked around and asked, "Did you grow up here?"
Shao Lecheng didn't look back, "Yes."
Ni Yueshan looked at Shao Lecheng in surprise: "So, the abbot wanted you to become a monk, and you disagreed, so you deliberately committed a crime!"
"Even if you guessed it, don't say it out loud. Just know that I'm a good young man."
Ni Yueshan: “…”
When we arrived at the backyard, we could hear bursts of laughter. The children were playing games and having a lot of fun, seemingly without any worries.
Ni Yueshan and the other two stood outside the yard and watched the scene inside, but did not go in.
"Second Prince, these children are carefree, but how will they make a living when they grow up without any knowledge?"
"Do you want to help them?" Jing Yuchen already understood Ni Yueshan's intention.
Does Ni Yueshan still have such kindness?
"No, I'm helping the Second Prince. If anyone among them achieves great things in the future, wouldn't it be nice if they could become your people?"
Study and practice calligraphy, pass the imperial examinations, and one day become an official in the court. Jing Yuchen will gain both people and a good reputation.
"Okay, this prince will help these people!"
Jing Yuchen answered readily, Ni Yueshan's eyes lit up, and Shao Lecheng was also extremely surprised.
Ni Yueshan patted Shao Lecheng's shoulder and said, "Brother, shouldn't you treat me?"
Shao Lecheng was stunned, then nodded: "Okay, for the future of these children, inviting the Second Prince to dinner is nothing!"
Shao Lecheng agreed to treat them to a meal, and the three of them went down the mountain and returned to the capital.
Jing Yuchen's restaurant in the capital was always popular, and a meal for three people cost Shao Lecheng dozens of taels, which made him feel distressed.
"I'm very satisfied. I'll give you a five-star rating." Ni Yueshan looked at Shao Lecheng with admiration.
Shao Lecheng said with a pained look on his face, "The Second Prince is offering money to help the child. What about you? How do you plan to express your gratitude?"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I still have a small amount of savings now. Of course, like the Second Prince, I am willing to contribute."
Shao Lecheng's eyes lit up, and he gave Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen a thumbs-up: "You two are so generous. I thank you on behalf of all the children."
"You're welcome. In the future, try to steal less jewelry from the Second Prince's mansion."
Ni Yueshan's words made the atmosphere instantly become strange.
Jing Yuchen coughed and said, "Of course, this prince doesn't mind. You will return everything you stole from my house."
Shao Lecheng's face turned pale. "Second Prince, you can't get back the money you've spent. Second Prince has already decided to help these children, so don't worry about such a small amount of money."
Ni Yueshan smiled softly at the side, "See, talking about money hurts feelings..."
In the evening, Jing Yuchen sent Ni Yueshan back to the mansion. When they arrived at Jidong Pavilion, Jing Yuchen was still reluctant to leave. Ni Yueshan looked at him strangely and said, "It's getting late. Second Prince, go back and rest early."
"Yueshan, do you like it on the third day of next month?"
When asked about the date suddenly, Ni Yueshan understood instantly.
Talking about the wedding date.
"Is it too fast?" Ni Yueshan felt inexplicably nervous.
This body will be married for the second time, but it’s her first time!
"It's just a matter of time..." Jing Yuchen stroked his chin. He thought for too long before speaking.
"Second Prince, if the Emperor grants you another marriage and gives you a principal wife, will you agree without even thinking?"
Ni Yueshan originally avoided talking about marriage, but now, he has to face it.
"Although the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, this prince will fight for it!"
He looked at Ni Yueshan with burning eyes, which were sincere and not perfunctory at all.
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered with complexity. With such a beautiful answer, why should she be worried and depressed?
"Okay, the third day of next month."
Jing Yuchen, however, showed a dissatisfied expression: "Don't force yourself, please answer this prince cheerfully and frankly."
"...Okay, then I'll have the servants start preparing the wedding dress tomorrow."
Jing Yuchen reached out and pinched Ni Yueshan's face: "That's more like it."
