The two looked at each other, Song Wanwan was stunned, and after a moment she said, "Thank you, Third Young Master Qin."

Qin Yuan's eyes were dark and he was a little absent-minded for a moment, but he was brought back to his senses by Song Wanwan's words.

He quickly let go of the person, "Are you okay?"

Song Wanwan also stood firm at this time, "It's okay, I was just scared by those guards."

At this time, the guards also understood what was going on and knelt on one knee to apologize. If Miss Song was injured, they would also be punished.

It was just a routine duty for the guards, so Song Wanwan certainly wouldn't blame them too much and signaled them to get up and leave.

Then he thanked Qin Yuan again, "Thank you very much, Third Young Master Qin. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my face would be bruised."

Song Wanwan didn't feel embarrassed about being caught climbing a tree. She even found it funny when she talked about how she almost fell.

Qin Yuan didn't have much contact with the young lady from the Song family, but this was the first time he saw a young lady from a noble family climbing a tree in the palace, and she didn't show any shyness at all.

"Miss Song, you are too polite. It's just a small favor."

Song Wanwan turned around and saw Gu Zhi holding a dozen fruits in her hand. She took two and stuffed them into Qin Yuan's hands.

"This is my way of thanking Third Young Master Qin. Please don't tell my parents about this."

Qin Yuan couldn't help laughing, picked up a fruit and took a bite, "It's a deal."

Then he turned and left.

Even though they had walked a hundred meters, Song Wanwan could still hear the sound of him biting the fruit.

Gu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the young lady didn't fall, otherwise I would have to be punished when I go back."

Song Wanwan also picked up a fruit and started eating, "What are you afraid of? Isn't this okay?"

The two of them left the garden and walked towards the main hall.

But as soon as he left the garden, he was stopped by someone.

Before I could see who it was, I heard the curse.

"Miss Song's move of throwing herself at someone is really amazing. She made the Third Young Master Qin take the initiative to come forward."

Song Wanwan looked carefully at the person who came and snorted.

"Who was it I thought? It turned out to be Miss Rong. You've already been broken off by the Qin family, and you're still asking if I'm throwing myself into their arms?"

Song Wanwan is not a troublemaker, but she never backs down when someone provokes her.

Not to mention a young lady from the Rong family, she had even quarreled with the princess in the palace.

When Rong Jin saw that Song Wanwan didn't even give him an explanation and even mentioned her broken engagement, he became so angry that his chest heaved.

Thinking of Qin Yuan's expression when he was talking to Song Wanwan just now, and eating the fruit Song Wanwan handed to him, he said without thinking: "Are you admitting that you did it on purpose? I didn't expect that the young lady of the Song family is so seductive."

Song Wanwan smiled brightly, without a trace of anger on her face.

Just when Gu Zhi thought that her young lady was going to hit someone, Song Wanwan suddenly moved closer and said to Rong Jin, "I did it on purpose, but Third Young Master Qin will fall for it, won't he?"

"Why don't you try falling down too? See if he's willing to catch you?"

After saying that, Song Wanwan called Gu Zhi and left. After taking a few steps, she finished eating the fruit in her hand.

He threw the fruit core back without even looking back, and it hit Rong Jin right between the eyebrows.

Rong Jin stamped his feet and shouted, “Song Wanwan, you dare to hit me?”

Song Wanwan turned her head, and her face, which had been smiling before, suddenly became gloomy.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Rong Jin only knew that the young lady of the Song family had a bad temper, but the two of them had little interaction before, and this was the first time they were so tense.

Seeing that Song Wanwan was just talking and didn't do anything or make a big fuss, he snorted, "Strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and a coward."

The two walked a little further, and Gu Zhi asked in a low voice: "Miss, did you really do this on purpose? Miss, are you attracted to the third young master of the Qin family?"

Song Wanwan patted Gu Zhi's forehead lightly, "What nonsense, I said that to irritate Rong Jin."

Gu Zhi shrank his neck and said, "I thought the lady would slap Miss Rong twice."

Song Wanwan shook her head and said, "Think about it, would she feel more uncomfortable getting slapped twice, or listening to me using Third Young Master Qin to irritate her?"

Moreover, today is the palace banquet to welcome the Second Prince, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble.

Gu Zhi's eyes lit up, "It must be that using Young Master Qin San to stimulate her would make her feel even more uncomfortable. I just saw Miss Rong's face turn green."

The master and servant returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, chatting and laughing.

The Second Prince, who was talking to Lord Chen, turned and looked towards the door.

Seeing Song Wanwan coming in, the second prince was stunned. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.

Afterwards, the second prince stepped forward again, performed the junior ceremony to Madam Song, and even greeted Song Wanwan on purpose. When greeting Song Wanwan, his expression was still a little reserved.

Naturally, this scene was seen clearly by many people in the hall.

Some people privately spread that the second prince had taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of the Song family.

Afterwards, some people intentionally or unintentionally fanned the flames and spread the rumor that the Song family and the second prince were going to discuss marriage.

Madam Song didn't say anything, and the Second Prince didn't look like he did it on purpose. At this age, it's normal for people to behave inappropriately when seeing a girl they like.

However, Song Hongshen always felt that the Second Prince seemed to have done it on purpose. After all, with the Second Prince's cleverness, he shouldn't have revealed such obvious clues.

These gossips soon reached Shen Zhixiu's ears.

Others don’t know where the second prince came from, but Shen Zhixiu knows it very well.

He calmly called Song Hongshen to a secluded place and asked, "Did the Second Prince go to the Song family today? Do you want to marry into the Song family?"

Song Hongshen smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from the teacher."

Afterwards, Song Hongshen told Shen Zhixiu what the second prince said at the Song family.

"Is your father a little loose?" Shen Zhixiu asked.

Song Hongshen nodded, "My father was born a military general. The Second Prince behaves like an upright young general, so my father is naturally very satisfied."

"It's just... I always feel that this second prince is not that simple."

Shen Zhixiu said in a deep voice: "You are right, he is indeed not that simple. In fact, the Second Prince is the Crown Prince's man."

Song Hongshen's expression changed, "Really?"

Shen Zhixiu nodded, "It's absolutely true."

Song Hongshen did not doubt Shen Zhixiu's words. He said it was absolutely true and it must be true.

The Second Prince is the Crown Prince's man, which makes this matter interesting. He went to the Song family to propose marriage today, which was clearly planned for the Crown Prince.

Shen Zhixiu looked at Song Hongshen and always felt that there was a hint of calculation in the glimmer in his eyes.

"What are you going to do? Just refuse?"

Song Hongshen snorted and laughed, "It would be boring to reject directly. If the Second Prince wants to play, my Song family will accompany him."

"But I have to inform my sister first, so she won't fall into the trap of the Second Prince."

At this time, in a side hall behind the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were sitting opposite each other.

The prince asked, "The Song family is loose? Then what are your plans?"

The second prince picked up the lotus-patterned celadon teacup, took a sip of tea and said, "The Song family is already interested. Now we just need to take one more step. It would be best if our father grants us the marriage, and then the marriage will be done."

The prince thought for a moment and said, "Should we strike while the iron is hot? Let's finalize this marriage today."

"It happens to be in the palace, so it's convenient for us to do things."
