At this moment, Xiao Xuan was drawing something at his desk.
Hearing someone come in, Xiao Xuan quickly crumpled the drawing paper into a ball and threw it in a corner.
But Li Chengyan was incredibly perceptive. Although he was a leisurely civil official, his martial arts skills, eyesight, and hearing were all top-notch.
He had long ago seen that Xiao Xuan was secretly describing the girl from earlier that day.
Sure enough, once someone who dislikes women has tasted the forbidden fruit, there's no going back.
Since they are so deeply in love, why not give her a proper status and rightfully bring her into the Eastern Palace?
Li Chengyan chuckled secretly, but Xiao Xuan's face darkened.
His meticulously drawn painting was interrupted, and a hint of hostility flashed in his cold eyes.
The next second, he sniffed, as if he smelled a long-lost medicinal fragrance.
He quickly raised his eyelids and saw that Li Chengyan was carrying a very familiar medicine pot.
"Where did you come from?"
Li Chengyan smiled but remained silent, feigning mystery.
"Your Highness, may I guess?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Xuan walked over impatiently.
He smelled the familiar scent of medicine and the familiar medicine pot; how could he not know whose it was?
"A celestial being personally delivered the medicine to my residence, instructing me to convey to our wise and mighty Crown Prince that he must take the medicine on time, otherwise it will hinder his recovery... She also said..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's icy eyes fixed on the medicine pot in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
The frustration that had been building up for days vanished instantly because of this pot of medicine.
Seeing Li Chengyan grinning with a gossipy expression, Xiao Xuan snorted twice and turned back to his desk.
"I thought it was something else. Put the medicine pot aside and I'll drink it later."
"Aren't you really going to drink it while it's hot?"
Li Chengyan placed the medicine pot on the table and tentatively asked.
Qingying, standing to the side, was also worried for him. He clearly missed her terribly, yet he was still acting so pretentious.
There's nothing we can do; our own crown prince is just like that, saying one thing and meaning another.
Qingying couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she still stood in front of the door with an unchanging expression.
In truth, with his status as the crown prince, he could have any woman he desired.
However, the crown prince has disliked contact with women for many years.
It's rare to encounter someone like Miss Ning, whom His Highness can't forget and who can also cure his headaches.
It was a perfect match, but it was ruined by General Shen.
Qingying felt more and more regretful as she thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
After Li Chengyan left, Qingying followed him out.
If the two of them don't leave soon, Xiao Xuan will definitely go crazy from feeling stifled.
Once he was sure the two of them had left, Xiao Xuan couldn't wait to grab a bowl from the table, pour out the medicine inside, and gulp it down.
The medicine, which was originally bitter and smelled terrible, now tastes sweet when I drink it.
He even wondered if he had contracted some strange illness again, which was making him act so abnormally.
...
Even at dusk, Kyoto was still bustling with people and horses, looking quite lively.
Ningyin and Suxin went into a clothing store and picked out several dresses.
Just as they came out, they bumped into Ning Changfeng, who was swaggering out of the gambling den across the street.
Ning Yin didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Who would have thought that Ning Changfeng would spot the two of them at a glance.
"Sis, what a coincidence, shopping?"
Ning Changfeng waved a folding fan in one hand, whistling, looking nonchalant.
A pair of eyes scanned Ning Yin up and down.
She wore a moon-white embroidered silk dress and had long, flowing black hair that was lightly tied up with a wooden hairpin.
Her face was lightly powdered, and her lips were red and her teeth were white.
Bathed in the glow of the sunset, it appeared exceptionally bright and beautiful.
Ning Changfeng was momentarily stunned by the sight; he had seen so many beautiful women before.
Only at the very end did I realize that Ning Yin was the most beautiful woman in the world.
Ever since he heard from Liu that Ningyin had divorced, he had been harboring some wicked thoughts.
He and Ning Yin were not related by blood, so it was perfectly normal for him to have some fantasies.
That day, when Ning Yin boarded the carriage carrying large and small bags of medicinal herbs, Ning Changfeng hid around the corner and watched.
The beautiful woman, dressed in a light veil, captivated him, leaving him utterly mesmerized.
Seeing you again today still makes my heart race.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, so how come he didn't notice at first and was too busy bullying her?
Ning Changfeng, fanning himself with a folding fan, moved closer and closer, deliberately straightening his posture and coughing twice.
"Sister, it's been a long time since we got together. How about I treat you to dinner at Hongyun Restaurant?"
Ning Yin frowned, feeling contempt in her heart.
"No need, I have other matters to attend to, so I cannot keep you company."
Having said that, he took Su Xin's hand and was about to walk around Ning Changfeng.
Ning Changfeng suddenly chuckled and spread his arms to block Ning Yin's path.
"What, is your sister putting on airs like a general's wife and ignoring her brother?"
"I heard that Shen Yun doesn't seem to like you at all. He's been ignoring you every day, and now he's even kicked you out."
After saying this, seeing that Ning Yin's expression was not good, he clicked his tongue twice with a hint of regret.
"What, did I hit the nail on the head? I knew it! Otherwise, why would you have been strolling through the lantern festival alone that day?"
"Ning Changfeng, isn't a man who talks so much afraid of being a bachelor for life?"
Su Xin was furious and stepped forward, pointing her finger at Ning Changfeng and scolding him.
"You brat, do you have the right to interrupt when your master is speaking? Get out of here!"
Ning Yin had no mood to continue arguing with Ning Changfeng. It was getting darker and darker, and if they didn't go back soon, the coachman would have to rest.
"I'll say it again, move aside, I have something to do!"
Ning Changfeng is the kind of person who gets more excited the more others disobey him.
He was determined to have Ning Yin have dinner with him today.
