The two of them sat on chairs, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, looking very leisurely.

"My eldest brother is Xue Junan, you are familiar with him, right?"

Li Dachen shook his head. "I'm not very familiar with him. I haven't talked to him much. I think he is quite serious."

"My eldest brother is like that. In fact, he is very easy to get along with and likes your family very much. He told me before that Tianbao's family is very nice. They are worthy of being her family. None of them are ordinary."

Li Dachen laughed out loud after hearing this, "Hahaha... That's right, I think so too."

Xue Luoyan saw him smile and also smiled, "You are quite cute."

When Tianbao and Li Xiaoning came back, they saw the two of them chatting and laughing.

"When did they become so familiar with each other?" Li Xiaoning asked.

Tianbao shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Auntie, Xiaoning, you're back." Li Dachen waved at the two of them. "The princess has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xue Luoyan stood up and walked to Tianbao, holding her arm. "Tianbao...where have you been? I'm so bored in the palace alone lately. Next time you go, take me with you. I won't hold you back."

Tian Bao smiled and nodded, "Okay, we're all at the charity center these days, if you want to go, come with us."

Xue Luoyan nodded repeatedly.

"Aunt, I'm going too, and Zhan Yu and I will go with you. We can take a break these two days." Li Dachen quickly replied.

"You can go if you want to. Your classmates can also come and help teach those children," said Tianbao.

Li Dachen patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."

Hanshan Temple

Xue Manxue has lived here for more than half a month. She is very depressed by eating vegetarian food. Although the vegetarian food here is very good, she can't stand it after eating it for 10 to 20 days in a row.

"Third Princess, I feel that Lady Ronghua is just teasing you. How can there be any fate here? She must be saying this because she is afraid that you will pester Lord Li."

"My slave feels the same way."

Hearing the two palace maids say this, Xue Manxue also felt that she had been fooled by Tianbao.

"Hmph, pack your things and go back tomorrow. I will make Tianbao apologize to me!"

Xue Manxue angrily asked the palace maid to carry the zither to the pavilion in the back mountain. She was too bored here, so she would come here every afternoon to play a few songs to pass the time.

Otherwise, how could she have survived the past twenty days?

Xue Manxue began to play the piano, and the sound was still very pleasant.

A gust of wind blew over, and the peach blossoms nearby were blown down, creating a very pleasant scene.

Suddenly, the sound of a flute was heard, accompanied by Xue Manxue's piano playing.

Xue Manxue was surprised for a moment, then continued to play the piano seriously. After the two of them finished, Xue Manxue stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

A young man in blue came over from a distance, holding a flute in his hand. Needless to say, it was him who played the flute just now.

"I just couldn't help but sing a song with you, young lady. I hope you don't mind. I am Meng Lang."

Seeing that the young man was polite, Xue Manxue took a liking to him. He was also handsome, not much different from Li Shubai.

"Who are you?" Xue Manxue asked.

"My name is Yuan Rui."

"My name is Xue'er." Xue Manxue waved at him. "Let's play together again when we have time. I'll be here every afternoon."

Xue Manxue turned and left, and the palace maids quickly picked up the zither and followed her away.

Yuan Rui didn't turn around and walk out until she left.

"Sanlang, where have you been?" Yuan Jia asked.

He was there just now, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Brother, I just..." I wanted to say but held back, "It's okay."

Yuan Jia looked at him in confusion and said, "Let's go back. Your sister-in-law must be waiting anxiously."

"Brother, I think Hanshan Temple is great. I plan to stay here for a while, so I can calm down and read some books." Yuan Rui said.

Yuan Jia thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then you should stay. You need to work harder for the next year's exam. Time is running out. Don't just think about playing."

"I understand, brother. You should leave quickly. Sister-in-law and aunt are still waiting. They must be anxious." Yuan Rui urged.

"Okay, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself." Yuan Jia left after saying this. Yuan Rui took two servants and stayed in Hanshan Temple.

"Princess, aren't we going back?" asked the maid.

"We're not going back for now, so take out your luggage." Xue Manxue smiled.

The two maids looked at each other and thought the princess' smile was so... strange.

For several days in a row, Xue Manxue and Yuan Rui played together in the back mountain. They became more and more familiar with each other and confided in each other.

"I am actually the legitimate son of the third branch of the Fanyang Yuan family. I came to the capital this time to find my eldest brother Yuan Jia and to prepare for next year's imperial examination." Yuan Rui revealed his identity to Xue Manxue.

Xue Manxue looked at him with a smile. As early as the first day she met Yuan Rui, she had asked someone to inquire about his identity.

She already knew the young master of the Yuan family, but she didn't know if he would be shocked when he knew her identity.

"Actually... I'm the third princess, and my name isn't Xue'er, my name is Xue Manxue."

"What?" Yuan Rui stood up in surprise.

He thought that Xue'er's identity must be extraordinary. From her behavior and clothes, it can be seen that she must be a lady from a noble family.

But he really didn't expect that the other person was a princess.

"Will you stay away from me because I'm a princess?" After all, being a consort has no real power and will not be reused. Will Yuan Rui stay away from me because of this?

When Xue Manxue thought of this, she felt sad.

Yuan Rui was quite shocked at first, but after the shock he felt that it was not difficult to accept that Xue'er was a princess. After all, it was not surprising that such a beautiful woman was a princess of the dynasty.

"Xue'er, no matter who you are or what your status is... I will not back down. The only thing is, do you think I am... not worthy of you? After all, I am just a scholar."

"It doesn't matter if the person I like is a commoner or a member of a noble family, as long as I like him, it's fine."

Yuan Rui grinned and said, "Me too."

Tianbao went to the palace today to pay her respects to the Queen, and had lunch with the Queen in the palace at noon. The Third Prince's Consort Wei Zhiyue and the Fourth Princess Xue Yirong also came.

"Mother, great news." The voice came in before the person came in.

"Tianbao, you are here too, you are amazing, you figured out that my third sister's marriage is in Hanshan Temple, it was so accurate.

Did you know? The first thing she did when she came back just now was to ask the emperor to grant her a marriage. I was shocked. It was unbelievable. "Xue Yirong kept talking while holding Tianbao's hand.

After all, she had pursued Li Shubai so closely before, and now she has transferred her affection to him too quickly.

The queen was more curious about which family the young man belonged to. "Whose son?"

Wei Zhiyue smiled and said, "They are in love with each other. The third princess has chosen Yuan Sanlang Yuan Rui, the eldest son of the third branch of the Fanyang Yuan family. His eldest brother Yuan Jia is the grandson-in-law of Minister Zhu."

"Fanyang Yuan family? Manxue has a good vision. The emperor should agree." The queen said with a smile.
