Shen Hancheng's eyes seemed to have a mischievous look in them, and instead of answering, he asked: "I wonder if City Lord Su could see anyone when you went to the Faculty of Disorders?"

Su Jinruo was startled, then laughed: "I have indeed met someone, someone that I shouldn't have met. Prince, why not guess, who is that person?"

"The most beloved daughter of the Old Emperor, the master of the Twilight Palace."

Hearing that, Su Jinruo suddenly raised her eyes, looking at Shen Hancheng's half smiling lips, she seemed to realize something, and suddenly laughed.

She was not destined to lose, but her actions had already been clearly guessed by others.

The ancient history book in Shen Hancheng's hands was the thinnest. He had already compiled more than half of it last night, so he guessed that... Before it was time for lunch, he had already compiled the ancient history book.

As a result, if he did not return to the Academy of Sciences today and retrieve the remaining few ancient history books, it would be difficult for Shen Hancheng to compile all of them within four days.

Thinking about it, Shen Hancheng had also guessed it right.

As for the person he met, it was Princess Xiwei …

Shen Hancheng had been in the palace for four years, but Princess Xiwei had always regarded him as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh.

Even if Shen Hancheng did not think much of her, he definitely had some understanding of her character.

He had guessed that the Princess Xiwei would be waiting there to make things difficult for him.

Therefore, she definitely wouldn't be able to make it back in the time he had given her.

It was just a small bet, but he was able to accurately guess his whereabouts. Furthermore, he was also able to accurately guess the location of the Princess Xiwei.

Furthermore, he had even grasped that it was time for her to return to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Thus, the moment she returned, he had just sat down at the dining table …

Regardless of time, character, or location, he had guessed correctly.

Su Jinruo smiled, the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was indeed an opponent with a scheming mind.

However, appreciation was admiration …

Bath and change clothes...

How was she going to survive that life-and-death battle?

After staring at Shen Hancheng for a while, Su Jinruo stood up and bowed to buy himself some time.

"Although the outcome of this gamble has been decided, as the losing party, this official will definitely keep his promise and accept his punishment. But this official has a presumptuous request, I hope that Your Highness can agree to it. "

Shen Hancheng raised his eyebrows, "Speak."

Shen Hancheng didn't like to waste words, especially when other people had to give him a reason or an excuse. His answer would always be simple, concise, and clear.

Su Jinruo thought for a while, then said: "Regarding the timing of the penalty bets, I wonder if Your Highness will agree to this punishment, and will save it until the day of the meeting between the two empires ends. That means … "I promised Your Highness, after the last meal, during that time."

Shen Hancheng's fingers lightly tapped on the table. Every snap caused Su Jinruo to feel uneasy.

In the end, unexpectedly, Shen Hancheng agreed.

At noon, the sun hung high in the blue sky. The bright sunlight shone through the frosted windows into the hall, leaving behind a faint warmth.

In the quiet great hall, the two people eating were extremely harmonious and beautiful.

For the entire afternoon, Su Jinruo and Shen Hancheng stayed in the same room.

Naturally, Shen Hancheng and Su Jinruo were currently on the same river, so he wouldn't think about something that he shouldn't have done for her.

What's more … He had never really hurt her.

Su Jinruo helped him grind the ink, reading the compilation of the ancient history books, and also gained a lot of knowledge.

In the silence, Shen Hancheng's voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Can you ride a horse?"

Su Jinruo was startled, then replied: "Reporting to the Duke, this official does not know how to ride a horse."

In the past, she didn't need to learn to ride a horse.

But now, she had no chance to learn how to ride a horse.

Shen Hancheng wrote a few words on the desk book, and said: "Most people with Chenxi Kingdom like to ride horses. Even if it's a woman, she likes to dance around on horses."

Su Jinruo knew about this, and since she knew that the one who sent the order was someone who was going to meet abroad, she investigated the history of the Chenxi Kingdom as well as its local customs.

Including some secret inner palace history.

Now that Shen Hancheng mentioned it suddenly, Su Jinruo's eyes moved, "Your Royal Highness wants to say, when the two empires meet, there will be a horse riding competition, right?"

Shen Hancheng raised his head from the document, "It's not that there's a way, but rather, there has to be. "We can't escape."

Su Jinruo met Shen Hancheng's profound eyes, and his tone was rather cold. Is there a predetermined time to ride the horse? "

Two days passed in a row. Aside from the time when Su Jinruo would return to bathe and change his clothes, and sleep peacefully, the rest of his time was occupied by Shen Hancheng.

There was no master in the Qian Mo Garden during the day, and because Su Ranxiao had made a deal with her, the Mama Fang treated her extremely well, just like her mother.

As a result, regardless of whether it was the Madame Li's spies or not, they would always go to the Qian Mo Garden to eat and drink, chat with the Mama Fang, and have an extremely happy time.

Seeing that she did not have any evil intentions, Hong Ling and Lv Ruo let her.

After all, Su Ranxiao was his young master's sister.

Unfortunately, when Su Ranxiao and her little girl Caiyi entered the Pear Garden, they were met by Su Chi.

Su Ranxiao and the little girl, Caiyi, were walking in front while Su Chi was watching them from a distance.

Su Chi followed along the way, and when he saw Su Ranxiao enter the Qian Court, and when he was still chatting happily with the senior servants of the Qian Court, his eyebrows tightened into tight swords.

Red Jade was in the same courtyard as the servant girl that the Old Emperor gave to Su Jinruo later on.

She was a person who was proud and arrogant to begin with. What she wanted was power, and wealth.

They were not interested in those scenes where there was no money and no power, where they chatted and laughed together, and where they enjoyed themselves.

And so …

She came out to guard the yard, and while she was at it, she was able to command these two servants, who were despised the moment they arrived, to massage her back and waist.

No matter what, that life was better than being in the courtyard.

Su Chi stood outside the courtyard, her beautiful eyes gazing into the courtyard, as though she was pondering about something.

Hong Yu looked around in boredom. When she saw the young man dressed in an embroidered belt outside the courtyard, she immediately combed her beautiful long hair.

She slowly stood up and walked to Su Chi, then turned and greeted him, "This servant, Hong Yu greets First Young Noble, Eldest Young Noble greets you."

The red jade came from the palace and was given to Su Jinruo as a servant by the Old Emperor. More accurately, it was given to Su Jinruo as a bridal chamber.

She had already been taught by the mama in the palace. Her posture was beautiful, and between her eyes, she was filled with an enchanting charm.

In addition, she was beautiful and her voice was sweet and gentle. At this moment, such a delicate and weak bow was quite eye-catching.

Su Chi lightly glanced at the red jade and a strange feeling flashed through his heart, "You are called Red Jade? "It's quite nice to listen to."

Hong Yu looked extremely embarrassed as she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Reporting to Young Noble, this servant is Master Su's servant girl. Now that Young Noble is not in the courtyard, if Eldest Young Noble has matters to attend to, you might as well come back after dinner."

He had come in with Su Ranxiao on purpose in the first place, so he wanted to see what she would do.

With regards to Su Jinruo, other than trying to get rid of him, there was nothing else he could do.

Su Chi looked at the red jade and smiled, "No, I am not here to look for Third Brother. It is just that when I was passing by Pear Garden, I accidentally lost my fan, so I wanted Third Brother to find a servant to help me look for my fan."

Hong Yu smiled and said in a delicate manner, "This servant can help First Young Master look for the fan that he lost. This servant will go to Pear Garden to help First Young Master take a look."

Su Chi smiled gently, "Alright, I'll tell you right now, where I'll have a better chance of finding him."

Seeing that Hong Yu and Su Chi had entered the Pear Garden together, the two girls who were guarding the courtyard looked at each other. One of them hurriedly stood up, picked up the train of her skirt and ran into the courtyard.

Su Ranxiao and Mama Fang were discussing about the embroidery job, while Lv Ruo and Mu En were exchanging pointers at the side, with only Hong Ling at the side who was silent.

The little girl ran straight in front of Mama Fang and said nervously:

"Momo, big sister Hongyu followed Eldest Young Master out of the courtyard. She said that she went to find a fan for Eldest Young Master, and told me to inform you."

Hearing this, the Mama Fang didn't have much of an expression yet, but Su Ranxiao had already stood up.

What did it mean for a servant girl to be discharged from the family without the permission of her master?

Su Ranxiao glanced at the little girl, and laughed: "We understand, wait until Third Bro comes back, then we will reward you, you can leave first."

The little girl's face lit up, and blessed Su Ranxiao with her body, "This servant thanks Fourth Miss, this servant will take his leave."

Even though he understood something, he still spoke up for Hong Yu: "Although that child Hong Yu should have come in and reported it to Ruo'er so that they can leave the palace, it could be that Hong Yu was too careless. When she returns, this old servant will take good care of her."

Hong Ling frowned, looked at Mama Fang, and remained silent.

However, Su Ranxiao held Mama Fang's hand and shook his head. "No, I must not hide anything from Third Brother, and must inform Third Brother of this matter. Only then can we let Third Brother have a grasp of the situation, and only when something happens in the future will Third Brother be at a loss."

Third brother and elder brother had never been on good terms before, but Hong Yu was his servant, so now, she was pestering him. If the servant girl was bought by elder brother, that would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

Therefore, this matter was not something that could be hidden from the public.

Mama Fang glanced at Su Ranxiao, the resolution and worry in his eyes reflected so clearly.

She sighed in her heart, and said: "Thank you Fourth Miss for your reminder, this old servant understands."

With the Drunken Flower House closed, no one could possibly have any more attention to the Drunken Flower House.

The wine of the Jade Magnolia Restaurant had always been filled to the brim.

Because there were only two days left, the two dynasties had to meet. The wine that Jade Mansion's Yu Yu Yu wanted to pay the Imperial Palace was already being brewed and was being sent to the Imperial Palace.

Old Emperor had many times sent people to invite Shen Hancheng into the palace to discuss the two empires' meeting, but Shen Hancheng never responded.

In Su Jinruo's words, it meant —

This person was too arrogant, too presumptuous!

However …

She admired this kind of arrogance.

If fate was in his hands, why would he have to obey others?
