As the breeze blew, everything in the house became quiet. The sunlight shone into the house through the thick curtains, and the mottled light and shadows were reflected on the walls, like a flowing story.

In the courtyard, the green plants in the garden sway gently with the breeze, as if telling their stories, which makes people fascinated. Standing in the center of the courtyard, the bird carvings on the roof tiles are already mottled, and the shadows of the trees under the setting sun make the house more quiet and peaceful, as if time and the hustle and bustle of the world have stopped at this moment.

The breeze blew by, taking away a little sparrow, leaving behind a moment of tranquility. There was a faint fragrance everywhere, wisps of it floating in the air, exuding a fresh and natural breath. A colorful butterfly fluttered past my eyes, its elegant wings blurred many details, but it flowed in the sun and made people feel extremely comfortable.

The breeze passed through the roof beams, awakening the ancient bells of the swing, and the melodious sound floated in the quiet house. Sitting in the courtyard, closing your eyes, listening to the sound of time flowing, and enjoying the unprecedented peace.

The house is quiet and elegant as the breeze blows through it. It seems that from a certain moment, time has stopped here, and all the memories have happily paused here, making people feel endless comfort until they can no longer leave.

Following Su Hanyan's actions, Lin Tingwan pouted and said unhappily, "What are you doing?"

Su Hanyan slowly said jokingly, "Of course I'm going to pay my respects to our Princess Zhenbei."

Lin Tingwan heard this and said helplessly, "When did you become so polite to me?"

Su Hanyan slowly sat down opposite Lin Tingwan and said, "Your status is different now, so I have to be more polite when I see you. It would be bad if others catch us."

Lin Tingwan smiled softly upon hearing this, "Don't worry, everyone in this courtyard is the prince's people, you and I can do whatever we want."

Su Hanyan then breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her usual nonchalant self.

"I wish you had said this earlier. You don't know how nervous I was when I first came here."

Lin Tingwan smiled grimly when he heard this. "Why are you so nervous? I'll do whatever I want to do when you come to see me later. There's no need to be so polite. Do you understand?"

Su Hanyan nodded twice after hearing this, and slowly said, "I understand. Don't worry. I will do whatever I need to do in the future. Even if the sky falls, the King of Zhenbei will hold it up for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Jinan's voice came from behind her, "What are Madam and Miss Su talking about? Why do they suddenly want me to take over?"

Lin Tingwan suppressed his laughter and said, "You have to ask Miss Su in person."

Su Hanyan quickly stood up and saluted, "Greetings to the King of Zhenbei——"

"No need to be polite. Since you are Yangyang's friend, you are also my friend of Zhenbei Palace. Since we are friends, there is no need to be polite when we meet in the future."

Su Hanyan was completely stunned by this. She turned her head and looked at Lin Tingwan in a daze and slowly said, "Is it feasible?"

Lin Tingwan smiled helplessly, "Of course it's feasible. Your Majesty is a gentleman who sticks to his word."

Pei Jinan smiled and touched Lin Tingwan's head, and in a blink of an eye he saw the hat on the table.

He frowned and said slowly, "What are you doing? There are other people doing these things, what are you going to do if you are tired?"

"Why are you tired?"

After a pause, Lin Tingwan slowly said, "You said you would treat this child as a treasure. If it is a treasure, it is just a hat. What is there to worry about?"

"It is indeed a treasure, but in the end it is not as important as Yangyang."

After hearing this, Su Hanyan's eyes widened instantly and she stared blankly at Lin Tingwan's belly, then slowly asked, "What is this?"

Lin Tingwan smiled happily and nodded.

……

Changfeng sensed a strong and foul smell in the dungeon.

The small room I lived in was always leaking and it was so humid that my nose was dug out.

Having been trapped in the dungeon for several days, he has forgotten the scenery outside and the flow of time. Only the thoughts of pursuing survival and waiting for death echo alternately in the depths of his mind.

As far as he could see there was only a tattered bed and a corner full of tiny stains.

God knows how much he wished he could breathe cleaner air or sleep cleanly for a night, so politely he could endure the punishment he received.

Here, the situation is getting worse by the minute.

Through the heavy iron gate could be heard the sounds of people shouting, horses neighing, dogs barking, and chickens crowing.

Under the weight of the storm, the dungeon is becoming particularly cold and dangerous.

Sometimes, at night, some spiders and mice would appear on the walls. They came to join in the fun, or to resist the invasion of winter for their own survival, and Changfeng became the weakest among these companions.

But he knew that these words were meaningless to him. The most important thing was to find a way to escape from the dungeon, otherwise he would not be worn away by the power of nature, but killed by human punishment.

The last time I listened to the Queen and locked Pei Yanli up here, I made him angry.

Now this is what he deserves.

Chang Feng was also trying to find a way to have fun in the midst of hardship. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and spoke slowly, "I have followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for such a long time. I never thought that these tricks would be used on me in the end."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a murmur.

Pei Yanli also returned to the mansion at this time.

Wang Pingxiu only knew Pei Yanli's identity at this time, and knelt down and said, "Your Highness..."

Wang Pingxiu's voice was very soft but full of longing.

Pei Yanli frowned and quickly stepped forward to help Wang Pingxiu up, "What are you doing?"

"There's no need to be so clear between you and me."

"But you are of noble status, and I am nothing." When Wang Pingxiu said this, he looked pitiful.

Pei Yanli sighed and said, "What are you talking about? When I was recuperating at your house, you treated me..."

So good.

But you died because of me.

This is the thing Pei Yanli regrets the most.

Pei Yanli said slowly, "Just stay by my side and I will protect you in the future."

Wang Pingxiu's eyes were filled with tears, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't excited. After all, the person she had liked for such a long time had such a high status.

But at the same time, Wang Pingxiu was extremely worried. If Pei Yanli's status was so high, she was not worthy of him, and now there was no possibility for the two of them.

And there is a woman named Yangyang caught in the middle.

Everything seemed like a dream and seemed so unreal to Wang Pingxiu.
