"Fanfan sounds nice, I'll call her Fanfan from now on."

Linlang is the princess' title, which more represents her identity and responsibilities. They all decided to call her by her original name in the future.

"Sister Qing and I have agreed that from now on, we will call each other by our original name."

"Sisters are always caring. I also like to hear people call me Fanfan. It makes me feel at home."

They sat together and talked for a while. Seeing that it was almost time to leave the court, they thought they should create some private space for Tang Mumu and Rong Yan, so they stood up and said goodbye.

"It's getting late, we should go back. I have to go back home today. Mumu, do you have anything for me to tell my aunt? Or do you want to meet my aunt? I'll bring her to the palace to see you. I'm sure she's also scared this time."

"It's better not to bring mother here. She will be sad again when she sees me like this. Please tell mother that I'm fine. Tell her that I will go to see her when I get better, so that she won't have any wild thoughts."

"I understand. Don't worry, I will comfort Auntie. You can rest assured and recover from your injuries."

Thinking of the people and things in the General's Mansion, Tang Mumu still felt uneasy about Tang Qingzhi going alone. "Why don't you let Ah Chu and Fan Fan accompany you? I'm afraid the people in the General's Mansion will bully you again if they get the chance. Although your father is not here, your mother is still here. She might even blame us for your father's departure. Who knows how she will embarrass you."

Tang Qingzhi couldn't help laughing, "You have a small head but you think about a lot of things every day. What's so scary about me going back to my own home? Besides, no one in the general's mansion dares to give me a cold shoulder except my mother. I'm the Princess of Chen now, so my mother won't make things too difficult for me. You asked Ah Chu and Fan Fan to accompany me. Do you think their lives are too easy?"

It’s better not to let them get involved too much in the troubles that happen in the General’s Mansion.

"Don't worry, I'm just going back home. Don't listen to Mu Mu. She likes to exaggerate the facts."

After comforting several people and instructing Jinse to take good care of the princess and some precautions when changing the dressings, the three of them left Prince Rong's Mansion together.

As soon as Linlang returned to the inn, the maid ran up to her and said that Prince Jing had come and was waiting for her in the house.

Linlang frowned when she heard that, and said as she put away her umbrella, "What is he doing here? He came right after the court session. Could he be coming here to eat for free?"

After asking the maid to leave, Linlang entered the room and saw Ronglou sitting at the table sipping hot tea. When he saw her, he didn't even glance at her.

"You are not included in the meal I cook here. If you want to eat for free, I advise you to give up the idea as soon as possible."

Rong Lou almost spit out the tea in his mouth when he heard that. He put down the teacup, straightened his sleeves slowly, and finally raised his eyes to glance at her.

The blue stains at the corners of his eyes are quite obvious, it seems he didn't rest well last night.

When Linlang saw her looking at her, she lowered her eyes and saw her cloak on her body. She was so angry that she laughed. "Is this cloak a priceless treasure? Is it worth His Royal Highness King Jing coming here in the snow after the court session to ask for it? Your Royal Highness King Jing can just send someone to tell me. I will definitely wash it, burn it in a furnace, and make sure that there is not even a trace of my smell left on me. Then I will personally deliver it to Your Highness. Why do you have to make a trip?"

As Linlang spoke, she sat down opposite Rong Lou and took the empty cup to pour herself a cup of hot tea. After drinking it, she poured herself another cup, but this time she didn't drink it. Instead, she held it carefully in her hands. It was really cold on this snowing day. She had only stayed outside for a while and her hands were so cold that she couldn't feel anything.

Rong Lou caught a glimpse of her little action and threw the heater hidden in his sleeve to her. Lin Lang thought he was going to teach her a lesson again, so she quickly reached out to take the object he threw to her. She felt comfortable and warm in her hands, and a look of joy appeared on her face as she clenched her fist tighter.

"You have such a mouth... I really can't praise you. If it were someone else, I would have fought with you long ago."

Linlang's mind was on the delicate and warm object in her hand, and she didn't take Ronglou's words to heart, "What is this? It's so warm."

"That's why I say you're ignorant. This is a heater. Girls use it to warm their hands in winter. There are plenty of them in my palace. I'll bring one to you on the way."

"Can you be so kind?" Linlang held up the heater and examined it carefully, but couldn't figure out what it was for a long time. "Can this thing become cold?"

"If it gets cold, someone will change it for you. You don't need to worry about it."

Linlang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Ronglou couldn't help but find it funny. A heater could make her so happy. She was really easy to satisfy.

"No, no, no." Linlang seemed to be provoked by something. She quickly smashed the heater on the table and stared at Rong Lou defensively. "You are Rong Er, you would not be so kind to me. Do you think there is poison in this heater? You want to take this opportunity to poison me and then you don't have to marry me, right? Rong Er, you are too cruel, aren't you? After all, we have also experienced life and death. We can't be a loving couple but also friends who live in peace, right? How can you be so sinister?"

"Are you out of your mind?" Rong Lou couldn't bear to hear it any longer and rolled his eyes. "I've never seen anyone as crazy as you. When did I ever say I wanted to poison you to death? Besides, what good would it do me if you died? Would you just get a reputation for being unlucky in marriage?"

Linlang then picked up the heater again and held it in her arms, her facial features almost squeezed together with a tangled feeling, "I really can't believe that you are such a kind and selfless person, especially to me. Haven't you always wanted to get rid of me as soon as possible?"

Linlang felt that Rong Lou's brows were so wrinkled that they could pinch a mosquito to death. The more she looked at him, the more she felt something was wrong.

"When did I ever say I wanted to get rid of you? After coming back from Xiling, I always gave in to you every time we met. Besides, I saved your life in Xiling. How could I have nothing better to do than to murder my own wife?"

Linlang carefully recalled how the two of them had gotten along during this period. It seemed that Rong Lou had indeed not done anything excessive to her, and it was also true that he fell off a cliff to save her. As a prince with a promising future, there was no reason for him to murder her and bear the crime of murdering his own wife.

"But why are you so nice to me? This is not the way we should get along. You suddenly become a different person. I feel like there is a bigger conspiracy behind this."

Rong Lou was so angry at her words that his head hurt. He simply closed his eyes and put his hands on the table to meditate for a while. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and kill her.

"What's wrong with you? Don't let anything happen to you here."

"I'll be fine if you shut up." Rong Lou opened his eyes and glared at her. Lin Lang tactfully curled her lips and said nothing. Since he brought her a heater, she didn't bother with him.

"I have asked my father for permission this morning. We will be married around the Flower Festival after the New Year's Day, and we will set off for the border around the Shangsi Festival. I came here to inform you that if you have anything to do or someone to meet, please make arrangements before then. After you return to the border, you will not be able to return to Shangjing whenever you want, and you will not be able to see your sisters whenever you want. You should have fun in Shangjing during this period. I am afraid you will only be able to return to Beijing at the end of the year in the future."

Rong Lou was paying attention to Linlang's expression as he spoke. He came here just to tell her about the marriage, and because he was afraid that she would be sad after hearing it, he came here in person.
