The next day.

Since Jing Anle fell off the cliff last time, she has not gone to class. Therefore, Jing Rou is the only female member in the class. She is absent-minded and thinking about how to talk to Qi Zhi after class.

After class.

"Prince Qi."

Jing Rou waited for a long time after class until the other students had dispersed before gently calling out to Qi Zhi.

The two were already in a flirtatious relationship. Jing Rou lingered after class, and Qi Zhi deliberately stayed as well.

"What does the princess want with me?" Qi Zhi turned around with a smile, waiting for Jing Rou to walk towards him.

The snow from winter hadn't melted, and it felt hard to the touch.

The girl blushed deeply and moved forward step by step.

"I wonder if Prince Qi will have time to come to Prince Qing's residence for tea tomorrow? Last time, at Rong'er's wedding, Crown Prince Qi escorted me for a while, so I would like to express my gratitude to the Crown Prince."

Qi Zhi smiled and said, "It was nothing, Your Highness is too kind. However, since Your Highness personally invited me, I will certainly arrive as scheduled."

Qi Zhi, that cunning fox, was now playing the ghost story game. He already knew there was news in the palace that Jing Rou was to be married off to the southern border, but Jing Rou hadn't said anything, and he wouldn't ask.

Jing Rou raised her face, her cheeks flushed, "In that case, we will await the arrival of Crown Prince Qi."

"At that time... at that time I have something to say to Crown Prince Qi in person."

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Prince Qing's Mansion.

The palace was already magnificent enough, but the backyard of Prince Qing's mansion was also extremely luxurious. Not only were the furnishings exquisite and unique, but there were also many famous collections inside. Even the cups you picked up casually were worth a fortune. However, all of this suited Qi Zhi's taste perfectly.

At this moment, the dancers' sleeves fluttered, and the music of string and wind instruments filled the air. This was a banquet specially prepared for Qi Zhi, so besides Qi Zhi, there were only Prince Qing, Princess Qing, and Jing Rou.

"Thank you, Crown Prince Qi, for protecting my daughter on that day." Prince Qing raised his wine cup to toast Qi Zhi.

Qi Zhi also raised his wine cup, "Your Highness is too kind. It was really just a small favor for me."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, we finally got down to business.

"I have something to ask, but I'm not sure if I should," Prince Qing coughed lightly and looked at Qi Zhi.

Qi Zhi quickly replied, "Your Highness, please ask without hesitation."

"I wonder if Crown Prince Qi is married?" Prince Qing looked intently at Qi Zhi, as if trying to see through his eyes to his innermost thoughts.

Qi Zhi's heart stirred. He glanced at Jing Rou subtly, then smiled and said, "The Crown Prince has two concubines in his residence, but he has not yet married the Crown Princess."

A barely perceptible look of satisfaction flashed in Prince Qing's eyes. He laughed heartily and said, "Excellent! My daughter always mentions Crown Prince Qi at home..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Rou interrupted him: "Father!" A blush rose on Jing Rou's face, and she gave Prince Qing a reproachful look.

"Hahaha..." Prince Qing laughed heartily, "My daughter is shy. I, Prince Qi, am a dragon among men. Rou'er may not be able to reach my level, but as a father, I still want to try for my daughter." He said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Prince Qing stroked his beard and continued, "Rou'er is my and my wife's legitimate daughter. She has been pampered since childhood and is the apple of our eye. But as the saying goes, daughters are not kept at home forever. Whoever becomes my son-in-law, I will do my best to help him." As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Zhi to observe his reaction.

Qi Zhi picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. “Your Highness’s love for his daughter is truly touching. The princess is also a graceful lady from a prestigious family, and countless wealthy and powerful families would be interested in her. However, marriage is a major event, and naturally, it requires the permission of her parents and the knowledge of her ancestors.”

Jing Rou was somewhat conflicted; was this a rejection or...?

Prince Qing smiled gently and said, "It is said that children are the apple of their parents' eye. As long as the children are happy, the parents will naturally be happy too."

Qi Zhi wasn't stupid. Although Jing Rou was beautiful, her value wasn't enough at the moment.

Prince Qing and Princess Qing exchanged a glance, knowing they had to proceed to the next step.
