Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Liu Jia knew her daughter too well. She knew that Yue Wanhan had a stubborn personality and if she tried to stop her by force, it would only arouse her rebellious psychology.

Moreover, she did not think that there was no possibility at all between Yue Wanhan and this legendary painter.

Liu Jia was full of curiosity about this handsome painter with green eyes. What kind of face could make her picky daughter's eyes light up when she mentioned him?

"Madam? Madam!" Yue Wenli's slightly aggrieved call finally brought her back to reality from her thoughts.

Strangely enough, when she was young, Liu Jia didn't care much about people's appearance. Otherwise, given her conditions, Yue Wenli, who looked ordinary and even a little rough, would never have entered her sight, even though he had great potential.

However, as she grew older, she became more and more fond of admiring handsome young men and women, simply because they made people feel happy.

The main focus is a pleasant experience.

However, Liu Jia was quite skilled in smoothing over Yue Wenli's grievances.

After a while, Yue Wenli was coaxed into calm again.

Yue Wenli: Angry, but easy to coax!

Yue Wenli became extremely alert. What kind of magic did this painter named Benjamin have that could make his daughter so interested in him? He was afraid that he would be abducted and he would not even have time to cry.

Yue Wenli secretly made up his mind to keep a closer eye on her to prevent this foreigner from abducting his beloved daughter.

As soon as Liu Jia saw Yue Wenli's expression, she knew what he was thinking. She just shook her head secretly and decided not to stimulate her old father's fragile and sensitive heart any further.

In fact, she really wanted to tell Yue Wenli a cruel truth: if there was any progress between the two of them, it must have been done by his good daughter.

I don't know where Yue Wenli got such a big filter, he thinks Yue Wanhan is still a girl who is ignorant of the world. Under the guidance of Liu Jiashi, although Yue Wanhan is innocent, she is definitely not ignorant of the world.

The one who should be worried is definitely not Yue Wanhan.

With the help of Liu Jia, Yue Wanhan successfully entered the palace and went straight to Ruyi Pavilion.

Liu Jia was chatting with the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace. It can only be said that Liu Jia, who did not like socializing, paid too much.

***

Inside Ruyi Pavilion.

"Hey, Benjamin, I heard that Miss Yue is coming to our Ruyi Pavilion. Is she here to see you?" The speaker was Xiao Qizi, a young apprentice that Lang Shining accepted after he came to the Qing Dynasty.

Xiao Qizi said to Benjamin in a sarcastic tone.

If it weren't for his special skills, he would never work in Ruyi Pavilion, as all the people here are foreigners.

But Benjamin had some abilities. He hooked up with the powerful Fifth Prince a few years ago and even dared to covet Princess Huanzhu. Later, it was heard that he had broken up with them. Xiao Qizi was secretly laughing at the fact that a toad could never eat swan meat.

Over the years, Xiao Qizi always liked to say something sarcastic. He didn't dare to say that to Lang Shining, but he took advantage of the fact that Benjamin was easy to bully and always said something unpleasant to the ear.

When Benjamin heard that Yue Wanhan was coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In fact, he didn't take their agreement seriously, not because he didn't value Yue Wanhan, but because it was very difficult for outsiders to enter the palace. He didn't think their one-time encounter was worth Yue Wanhan's trouble.

Now, she has come to the palace as promised, and Benjamin feels warm in his heart.

The Cining Palace is some distance away from the Ruyi Pavilion. Benjamin waited for Lang Shining before he saw Yue Wanhan.

As soon as Lang Shining stepped into Ruyi Pavilion, Xiao Qizi reported to Lang Shining as if he had obtained some intelligence.

"Master, you don't know, our senior brother Ban is very brave." Xiao Qizi dared to tell tales in front of Benjamin and didn't take Benjamin seriously at all.

"What happened?" Lang Shining had just returned from painting a portrait of the empress in the palace. As soon as he entered the room, he heard a barrage of reports.

"Master, Miss Yue has come to the palace. It's obvious that she's here for our senior brother Ban. I'm afraid she has a close relationship with Miss Yue in private." Little Qizi was very good at telling tales. Now let's see how Benjamin would argue!

But unfortunately, Lang Shining was also a foreigner and couldn't understand all these twists and turns.

"Sure?" Lang Shining asked directly with a frown.

“Yes, but I only had a chance encounter with Miss Yue from the Yue family, and she came to me to paint a portrait without any other intentions.”

Benjamin answered righteously, the look in his eyes was very natural, without any sense of guilt.

This made Xiao Qizi dumbfounded. What the hell were they talking about?

He didn't understand a word. Could you please be considerate of him?

But obviously Lang Shining did not notice Xiao Qizi's ill intentions.

When he first heard his words, Lang Shining did show a trace of worry. He was afraid that there would be another Xiaoyanzi. How could Benjamin bear it?

Over the years, the two of them, master and apprentice, have depended on each other and have a very good relationship. He hopes Benjamin can be happy.

He never married or had children in his life. A wise man does not fall in love. He felt sad to see Benjamin trapped and hurt by love.

“That's good, you need to remember your identity and that you will be returning to Great Britain in two months.”

Lang Shining reminded him unintentionally.

Benjamin was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then nodded as if nothing had happened.

Xiao Qizi couldn't even hold back his smile, maybe he should pay any attention to him!

I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all!

But Castiglione and Benjamin completely ignored him.

Damn foreigners! Xiao Qizi cursed madly in his heart.

Lang Shining sighed and patted Benjamin, who looked lost.

"Benjamin, you must remember your identity." Lang Shining emphasized again.

Benjamin, who is usually gentle, couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. Identity, identity, and identity again.

He knew he didn't belong here and would leave and return to his country one day, but hopefully not now.
