When Yunfang handed the handkerchief to Nanny Wang, Nanny Wang asked, "Why isn't the prince here?"

"The prince just left here. He might have some official business to attend to." Yun Fang added, "The concubine was angry about this matter. The prince didn't even bother to accompany her. He just left her and left."

Nanny Wang put away her handkerchief and sneered, deliberately saying, "I heard that the princess and the prince have consummated their marriage in the palace. The prince loves the princess so much that he hugs her all over, fearing that the princess will suffer any grievances."

After Su Tingwan heard this, her heart sank even more, but she couldn't do that at this moment. She pinched her arm and recalled Xie Shang's rude behavior towards her. She hated him from the bottom of her heart. Why did they treat her like this?

Nanny Wang naturally had to go and ask the prince.

Xie Shang didn't go anywhere after coming out of Sandalwood Courtyard. He didn't even dare to go to Lanyue Pavilion to face Jiang Fenghua, so he went straight back to Tingxue Pavilion.

He didn't turn on the light, and it was pitch black inside. He just felt uncomfortable all over and his head ached slightly. Wanwan was obviously not that kind of girl. She was innocent, cute and lively, and would never use such tricks or schemes.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, followed by Nanny Wang's voice, "Your Highness, it's me, your Highness, is he in there?"

"What's the matter?" Xie Shang asked in a deep voice.

Nanny Wang said respectfully, "I just came from Concubine Su's place and heard that the prince and the concubine have consummated their marriage. I am also asking for the sake of the prince's heir, whether the prince and the concubine are really..."

Without waiting for her to finish her words, Xie Shang said in a cold voice, "Madam, please report the truth to my mother. This prince and the concubine are already husband and wife."

Nanny Wang was still confused, "It's so late, why didn't the prince rest in the concubine's room, but returned to Tingxue Pavilion instead?" Even if he had official business to attend to, he should have returned to the study!

Xie Shang paused. If he told Nanny Wang that Su Tingwan drugged him tonight...

Thinking back to her aggrieved look, he calmed down and thought about it, realizing that he had actually broken his promise to her. If he hadn't fallen in love with Jiang Fenghua, Wanwan wouldn't have done such an extreme thing.

"Your Highness..." Nanny Wang called again.

Xie Shang then said, "I suddenly remembered that I had some official business to attend to, so I returned to Tingxue Pavilion."

Nanny Wang was still a little confused. After all, the prince liked Concubine Su so much, they slept together and left in the middle of the night. This...

She asked doubtfully, "I will take my leave now."

Soon there was no sound outside the door, and Xie Shang changed into clean clothes and went out.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, he walked alone to the door of Lanyue Pavilion. The yard was quiet, the doors of each room were closed, and everyone was asleep.

He stared at the door of Jiang Fenghua's room. The candle inside was extinguished. Knowing that Jiang Fenghua was asleep, he turned around and left the house without disturbing anyone.

He remembered that Jiang Fenghua said she would wait for him to come back, but now he didn't know how to face her.

-

half a month later.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was impossible to sleep without ice in the house. Jiang Fenghua set up a hammock in the pavilion and read books on it when he had nothing to do.

Lian Ye fanned her while talking non-stop, "The prince has been out for half a month, why hasn't he come back yet? He didn't even send a message or a letter or anything."

Jiang Fenghua had already found out that he had left Shengjing City immediately after leaving the palace that night.

She thought: Xie Shang must have gone to investigate the case of Huang Ling’s theft. The case must be very complicated and not convenient to announce to the public, so he left quietly.

Jiang Fenghua also learned from Nanny Wang that Xie Shang had consummated his marriage with Su Tingwan on the day he left.

She hadn't seen Su Tingwan these days, and she asked her maid to say that Concubine Su was ill and it was inconvenient for her to come to Lanyue Pavilion to pay her respects to the princess.

Jiang Fenghua didn't care whether they consummated their marriage or not. She continued to practice dancing, read, write, and paint as usual, and also managed her own business.

"In the past few days, Sandalwood Courtyard has been unusually quiet. Concubine Su seems to have become a different person. She hides in Sandalwood Courtyard every day to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I heard that the results were not good. Finally, she chose to learn dancing. She practiced hard every day and worked very hard. Yunfang even found a master to teach her in the mansion. It was very mysterious."

Jiang Fenghua did not comment after hearing this. She changed into a graceful posture and continued reading. Dancing is all about basic skills. You won't learn much if you start learning at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

Jiang Fenghua said, "In a few days, the palace will hold a banquet to welcome the envoys from Chaoxi Kingdom. The envoys from Chaoxi Kingdom will go to Dazhou to seek peace, and will also send a beautiful princess to the emperor. The two countries will form an alliance, and Su Tingwan wants to shine at the banquet."

In the previous life, Su Tingwan and Xie Shang attended the event together and performed a sword dance, which won applause from the whole audience. In this life, Xie Shang has been busy with official duties and has not shown up yet, so it is estimated that he cannot perform the sword dance.

Speaking of dancing, Lian Ye's eyes lit up, "I think she is just imitating others. If our princess were to dance, she would surely stun everyone."

"Is there a courtesan election contest at Yichunlou tonight?" Jiang Fenghua asked casually.

Lian Ye said happily, "Yes, Shopkeeper Lin sent a message saying that she will personally organize an Oiran Contest tonight. It must be very lively. I also want to go and see it, but unfortunately, my young lady is now the Princess of Heng, so it is not convenient for her to go to such a place."

Jiang Fenghua was also a little itchy in her heart. Anyway, Xie Shang was not in Shengjing City, so she asked, "Has Madam Wang returned to the palace?"

"I'm back to the palace. What's wrong?"

Jiang Fenghua turned over and got down from the hammock. "Prepare my princess's makeup. We will go shopping tonight and see who will be the most beautiful lady this year."

Although she was the Princess of Heng, Xie Shang did not restrict her personal freedom. Besides, she had not been to Yichun Tower for a long time.

Ever since Lin Yu took over Yichunlou, the rules in the building have changed. Lin Yu never forces women to entertain customers. Of course, they are not saints and use money to support the girls in the building. If there are girls who want to sell their bodies to make money, they never stop them. There are also those who sell their art but not their bodies. Everyone gets what they need. In just a few years, Yichunlou has grown bigger and bigger.

Jiang Fenghua came to Yichun Building wearing men's clothes. Lin Yu knew she was coming and hurried to the side door to meet her.

She was wearing a silver-white brocade robe and holding a bamboo-leaf folding fan in her hand. She was handsome and graceful, looking like a handsome young man.

As soon as Lin Yu saw her, he put his arm around her waist and raised his eyebrows at her, "Mr. Jiang, please come in. I have reserved a private room for you. A distinguished guest has arrived."

Jiang Fenghua didn't understand who the distinguished guest was. When she went upstairs and saw the person, she ran into his arms happily like a bird and said, "Brother, when did you come back? You didn't even inform Ruan Ruan when you came back."

Jiang Jinyan was handsome, and his smile was already peerless. He patted her head lovingly, "You are getting married and still going to Yichun Tower. Aren't you afraid that Prince Heng will find out?"

Jiang Fenghua pretended to be angry, "Brother said, you didn't come back when your sister got married, so I won't pay attention to you."

"Didn't I send a gift back? Ruan Ruan is still angry with Big Brother!" Jiang Jinyan said again, "You sent me a letter asking me to investigate the theft of the imperial mausoleum. Don't you want to know the progress?"

Jiang Fenghua's eyes lit up, "Brother, have you found out?"

Jiang Jinyan deliberately asked, "Aren't you ignoring my elder brother?"

"My dear brother, my dearest brother." As soon as Jiang Fenghua acted like a spoiled child, Jiang Jinyan immediately surrendered and said lovingly, "Maybe it wasn't done by the people of the Great Zhou..."
