Day two.

Early in the morning, Lin Wanwan planned to deal with Prince Yong's posthumous affairs.

Qingqing was dressing Lin Wanwan, while Nanny Li was holding a plain dress and helping Lin Wanwan put it on.

Hua Yu whispered beside him, "Princess, I also want to go and pay my respects to Prince Yong."

"Okay." Lin Wanwan looked at him and nodded lightly.

In Prince Yong’s mansion, a mourning hall was hung high.

The white flags swayed gently in the wind.

Many servants in plain clothes lowered their heads, walked slowly and orderly, and had sad expressions on their faces. When they saw Lin Wanwan coming, they all bowed and said, "Princess..."

Lin Wanwan and Hua Yu both had cold and sorrowful looks on their faces, both dressed in plain clothes, and walked into the center of the mourning hall.

The coffin of Prince Yong was placed quietly, with smoke curling up in the air all around.

It didn't take long.

Under the arrangement of Nanny Li and the steward of Prince Yong's Mansion, musicians played low and mournful funeral music in the courtyard.

Hua Yu watched a cool breeze blow by, blowing off the withered petals of several trees in the courtyard, and felt that the passing of life was like these withered petals, scattered by the wind.

He thought of the immortal peony again.

He looked at Lin Wanwan tenderly, hoping that their relationship would not fade away.

Nanny Li reminded her, "Princess... the ministers who came to pay their respects to Prince Yong are here."

"The six ministers and other ministers have come to offer their condolences."

Ministers entered the Prince Yong's Mansion one after another, all with solemn expressions, holding sacrificial offerings, and filled with grief.

Lin Wanwan knelt on one side of the mourning hall, her face cold, watching the six ministers take the lead in paying respects to Prince Yong, and then respectfully presented the sacrificial offerings to the king, speaking sadly:

"Princess, please accept this modest gift from the Ministry of Rites."

"This is the Ministry of Revenue."

"This is a sacrificial offering from the Ministry of Justice to express our remembrance of His Royal Highness Prince Yong."

"This belongs to the Ministry of War."

"This is……"

Lin Wanwan's eyes were filled with coldness. She looked directly at the people in front of her and said in a cold voice, "My lords, this princess will not accept this gift.

When Prince Yong was alive, did you ever look at him straight in the eye?

Now that he is gone, what is the point of all these empty ceremonies?"

Her words were so powerful that the six ministers and the ministers behind them looked embarrassed.

The Minister of Revenue Sun Jinyi tried to explain: "Princess, this is our token of appreciation..."

Before he could finish, Lin Wanwan interrupted with a sneer:

"Greetings? I'm sorry that I can't accept this belated gesture.

If someone says something about this sacrificial ceremony in front of Your Majesty.

Prince Yong may not have peace."

With Lin Wanwan's firm refusal, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.

The ministers behind him looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Lin Wanwan straightened her spine, glanced at everyone, and emphasized again: "Just come to pay your respects, there is no need for these false sacrifices."

The ministers were speechless. One by one, they came to pay their respects, and the entire mourning hall fell into silence.

"The Minister of Justice came to offer condolences..."

Ouyang Qingyu saluted towards Prince Yong's coffin, then walked straight towards Lin Wanwan, his eyes full of concern:

"My princess...how are you?"

Lin Wanwan avoided his gaze without leaving any trace, and said politely and distantly: "Thank you Lord Ouyang for your concern. This princess is fine."

"Lord Ouyang"... Ouyang Qingyu felt a pain in his heart. He clearly felt that the princess was no longer as close to him as before, and an invisible barrier had been erected between them.

Ouyang Qingyu looked at Lin Wanwan's cold and sad face, his heart filled with helplessness and pain.

At this moment, he wanted to hold her in his arms and give her comfort and warmth, but now, she was so indifferent to him.

He restrained his emotions, leaned closer and whispered, "Princess, after the funeral, Qin Jun will search the Red Moon Tower."

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan looked at him coldly: "What?"

Ouyang Qingyu said again: "Madam Qin, I think she ran away."

Lin Wanwan's eyes moved slightly, and she understood what he meant. He was giving her a break. Then she shook her head gently: "Lord Ouyang, you are thoughtful."

She was so polite and kept her distance, Ouyang Qingyu remained silent and said no more.

Hua Yu stood quietly aside, his eyes fixed on Lin Wanwan and Ouyang Qingyu.

In just a few days, it seemed as if there was an invisible barrier between them, and their words were cold and distant.

Hua Yu looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel bitter. He could clearly feel that the princess was unhappy.

And this unhappiness stems from the rift between her and Ouyang Qingyu.

Hua Yu hoped that the two of them could put aside their past grudges, eliminate misunderstandings, and reconcile as before. He was about to say his thoughts softly: "Princess..."

at this time.

"The Crown Prince and the Second Prince have come to offer their condolences."

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe and Second Prince Lin Xiaoran entered the mourning hall.

"The third and fourth princes are here to offer their condolences."

Afterwards, the Third Prince Lin Gao pushed the Fourth Prince Lin Yu, who was in a wheelchair, into the mourning hall.

【System prompt: A handsome man has been detected.】

[Handsome man information:]

[Lin Yu: 18 years old, identity, Lin Moyun's fourth son, disabled in both legs, unable to walk. ]

[Task: None. 】

Lin Wanwan stared at [Task: None.], and then closed the pop-up [System Panel].

Lin Wanwan looked at the fourth prince Lin Yu, who was sitting in a wheelchair. He had an extraordinarily handsome appearance and fair complexion, but his disabled legs made him look more fragile, which was heartbreaking.

"The fifth and seventh princesses have come to offer their condolences."

Behind them came the fifth princess Lin Meihua and the seventh princess Lin Menghua.

With solemn expressions and steady steps, they respectfully paid their respects to Prince Yong's coffin.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe was the first to walk up to Lin Wanwan. He had a handsome face, a calm temperament, and concern in his eyes:

"An Ning, please accept my condolences. If you have any difficulties in the future, just speak up."

Lin Wanwan bowed slightly in return, and said in a cold voice: "Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, the Second Prince Lin Xiaoran followed closely behind, his eyes were gentle, and a perfect smile hung on the corners of his mouth:

"Cousin Wanwan, don't be too sad. You'll hurt yourself. If you have any problem, tell me, and I will definitely help you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Meihua's face darkened. She frowned and looked at her royal brother, biting her lip in anger.

Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, her expression still cold: "Thank you, Second Prince."

The third prince, Lin Gao, was short in stature, but he had a smile on his face:

"Cousin, don't be afraid, Third Brother will protect you from now on! If you have any problems, just come to Third Brother. The two of them are too busy. Unlike Third Brother, he will definitely put your affairs first!"

Lin Wanwan's eyes darkened, and she said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Third Prince."

The fourth prince Lin Yu was pushed in front of Lin Wanwan, his eyes were deep and sincere:

"Although I am physically disabled, I can still do my best to help if you need help."

Just when Lin Yu thought that Lin Wanwan would say thank you politely, he saw Lin Wanwan stand up from the mat.

Lin Wanwan squatted in front of him, looked at his eyebrows, smiled slightly and said softly: "Then, Fourth Prince, give me your help."

Lin Yu looked at Lin Wanwan in confusion.

The atmosphere in the originally solemn Prince Yong's Mansion suddenly became subtle.

Lin Wanwan really stretched out her hand in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was slightly stunned. This sudden request to shake hands with him made his heart, which had suffered from inferiority complex due to his disability for many years, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Lin Yu smiled shyly: "Okay."

The moment their hands touched, Lin Yu's heart was beating like a deer, a hint of shyness quietly crept up his face, his cheeks flushed, but his eyes revealed an irrepressible joy.

[System prompts, congratulations to the princess for getting it~

Health value +2 hours, a total of 17 days, 8 hours and 48 minutes. 】

Unfortunately, this time added is too little.

Lin Wanwan only held it for a moment and then let go.

Her behavior caused everyone to speculate.

Lin Xiaohe frowned slightly, showing doubts and speculations about Lin Wanwan's behavior.

The corner of Lin Xiaoran's mouth twitched and his expression became very gloomy.

Lin Gaoze widened his eyes, secretly guessing the deeper meaning behind Lin Wanwan's action.

A hint of surprise first flashed across Ouyang Qingyu's face, and then he tried his best to suppress the anger that was difficult to conceal, thinking to himself: Princess, are you doing this on purpose to make me jealous and unable to control myself?

He always thought he was smart, but when he encountered the princess's incident, he was indeed jealous as soon as they shook hands, and he couldn't think of any clue.

Hua Yu, who was standing aside, had tender eyes and brows, like a quietly blooming flower. She remained silent and just watched everything quietly.

For Lin Wanwan, she seldom sees Lin Yu, and catching a handsome man refreshed by the system and spending some time with him is what she urgently needs to do.

After shaking hands, Lin Wanwan knelt back on the mat.

It was Lin Meihua's turn to pay her respects. After paying her respects, she did not speak to Lin Wanwan, but instead looked at Ouyang Qingyu standing beside her.

She instantly changed her expression to one of flattery, and said in a tender voice:

"Brother Qingyu...I..."

However, Ouyang Qingyu responded with a cold face, not even looking at Lin Meihua, causing the words that were already in Lin Meihua's throat to be stuck.

Ouyang Qingyu looked at Lin Wanwan, still feeling that Lin Wanwan was cold and indifferent and the jealousy in his heart was hard to suppress, so he just said, "The Ministry of Justice still has something to do, I'll leave first."

Lin Wanwan said without raising her eyes: "Master Ouyang, please do as you please."

Lin Meihua couldn't stand it anymore. She saw that everyone was caring towards Lin Wanwan, but Ouyang Qingyu, who ignored her and was cold to death, was speaking coldly to Lin Wanwan instead.

Why?

She felt that the man she couldn't date was someone that Lin Wanwan could easily hook up with.

This group of people also showed their goodwill to her.

The jealousy in Lin Meihua's heart burned like a flame.

Moreover, Lin Wanwan and Lin Yu were holding hands just now, and Lin Meihua looked at her royal brother Lin Xiaoran, only to see that Lin Xiaoran had a serious expression on his face.

She thought of what Lin Xiaoran had said: If she cannot be won over, then just ambush and kill Lin Wanwan on her way to Pingyang City.

"Heh..." Lin Meihua sneered and shouted at Lin Wanwan: "Humph, why are you sitting there pretending to be pitiful! Haha... It's really pitiful. Prince Yong is dead. She has no relatives in the palace and no one to rely on. She..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan stood up, her eyes as cold as ice, and walked in front of Lin Meihua.

"Pa!" Lin Wanwan raised her hand and slapped her in the face loudly and crisply.

"Fifth Princess, please respect yourself! Prince Yong just passed away, and you are talking nonsense here!"

Everyone was shocked. Princess An Ning raised her hand and slapped the fifth princess Lin Meihua in the face!

Lin Meihua's head was hit and tilted to one side, and a clear palm print instantly appeared on her cheek, which was originally delicately made up.

She felt her head buzzing, her face burning with pain, and her eyes filled with astonishment and anger:

"How dare you...hit this princess?!"
