Shen Ling Jue smiled and took out the old silver hairpin from his chest pocket.

"How can I possibly lose the love gift that the wangfei gave this duke? It's just that I was afraid that you would see something that was moved and cause the insect poison to spread, so I kept it for you. "

As he spoke, he put it on Feng Ning Yan.

Feng Ning Yan thought back to the time she was poisoned by the parasite, and couldn't help but be in a daze. "If it wasn't for the poison Gu, what would have happened between us today?"

Perhaps she would never be able to understand her own heart and accept his feelings, thus she had missed him and missed the best scenery of her life.

Shen Ling Jue lifted her pointed chin, his heart was already troubled by her watery gaze.

"A person that This King has identified cannot escape. Even if you weren't infected by the parasite, you would still find it hard to control this king's love.

Feng Ningyan laughed with a "puchi". "Against such a shameless person, I have no choice but to resign myself to my fate!"

The palanquin swung, and crossed the street.

When they arrived at the intersection not far from the mansion, a gust of breeze blew open the curtain of the carriage and blew in a fragrant scent of fruit that had never been smelled before.

Feng Ningyan looked around and saw two children around the corner. The girls were around eight or nine years old, and the boys were no more than five or six years old. Their clothes were all patched up, and their shoes were exposed, but they were still very clean.

In front of the two of them was a piece of cloth. On the cloth were several dozen red persimmon seeds. The fragrance from earlier was coming from that place.

Feng Ningyan was born to be a southerner, but she had never seen a red persimmon from the north before. She curiously looked at it, wanting to ask what it was, but the sedan quickly passed by.

"Parking sedan." Shen Ling Jue suddenly ordered.

When the palanquin came to a stop, he stepped out of it and walked straight to the persimmon stand.

When the two children saw such a gorgeous and spacious palanquin with so many guards following around, the man who got off the palanquin was tall and powerful. He was dressed extravagantly as he trembled in fear and hugged each other.

"Don't smash our persimmon, don't hit us …"

With a single glance, Feng Ning Yan knew that this was not the first time these children had come to the streets to sell persimmon seeds. In the past, they should have been bullied and beaten up.

Her heart hurt as she hurried to follow and pulled Shen Ling Jue back, "Your Highness, you scared them …"

Shen Lingjue halted his steps and called out to Chu Zhao, who was sitting next to the palanquin, "Chu Zhao, Qian Bao!"

Chu Zhao hastily took out the prince's purse and offered it to him.

"Eh, didn't the prince never bring money with him when he went out?" Feng Ning Yan teased.

Shen Ling Jue threw the purse in his hands and said smilingly, "Ever since the last time I went shopping with Princess Hua-Yang, this duke's face has become very thin. If you don't bring more silver, I'm afraid that in the future, the wangfei won't say that I'm thick-skinned, but that I'm shameless. "

Feng Ningyan couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Shen Lingjue carried the silver bag to the persimmon stand, knelt down on one knee, and placed the bag of money in the arms of the two children.

"We'll buy all of these persimmon seeds. Collect the money and return home."

The two children were so scared that they almost burst into tears. They shoved the money bags outwards as if they were on fire.

The girl was a little calmer as she timidly replied, "Big brother, our family only sells persimmon for two coins … "You've given too much …"

The boy also nodded vigorously, his face trembling.

"That's right, that's right. My mother would say that we stole it, swindled it, and beat us …"

Feng Ning Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt that these two children were so sensible, yet pitiful that their lives were so difficult and pathetic.

She walked over and said, "As long as you tell the truth, your mother won't beat you up. "If she doesn't believe you, then just tell her that Prince Yu bought this persimmon and told her to pick it next time and send it to King Yu's Mansion. We want as many as she has."

Upon hearing that it was Prince Yu, the two children hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

When Feng Ningyan saw that the two children's shoes were in tatters, and that it was already very cold at this time of year, they were still wearing single shoes, so she instructed Chu Zhao to bring the two children to buy new clothes, boots, and send them home.

The little girl was very clever. She knew that they had met a good person today. She bent down and carefully wrapped the persimmon with a cloth and handed it to Feng Ning Yan.

"Elder sister, this persimmon is thoroughly cooked. It is very soft and has a lot of juices. It is even sweeter than honey. "Although other people say that persimmon seeds can be squeezed soft, you can't break it or else your beautiful clothes will get dirty …"

As he said that, he remembered something. He quickly took out a pair of chopsticks sized reed tubes and passed them to Feng Ning Yan. "Eating persimmons will easily dirty your face and clothes. Using these reed tubes to suck on your food is the most convenient thing to do."

Feng Ning Yan never thought that this kind of fruit would actually be eaten like this. She happily took the reed tube.

"Thank you, little sister!" After saying that, she took out two persimmon seeds and placed them in the little girl's hands, "You two set up stalls here. You definitely didn't eat anything, so just eat a persimmon."

The little girl happily looked at her younger brother. She quickly took the persimmon and took a bite.

When the thin skin of the persimmon broke, orange juice flowed out and rubbed against their faces, even their noses.

"Hahaha …" The two of them pointed at each other's faces and laughed out loud.

Feng Ningyan finally understood why the little girl wanted her to eat with a reed. If she really wanted a dignified wangfei to eat in such a manner, then there was no child so ridiculous and adorable that she would even be laughed at.

After sending off the two small merchants, Shen Lingjue held onto Feng Ning Yan's hand, with the persimmon in one hand, as they walked towards the entrance of the mansion.

Feng Ning Yan held a persimmon in her hand and stuck it into the reed with a "pa" sound. She lowered her head and started smoking.

"Wah!" "It's so sweet!" She never thought that this persimmon would have such an ordinary appearance, its taste was actually so wonderful, she lifted it up and placed it in front of Shen Ling Jue, "Your Highness, try it!"

Shen Ling Jue immediately retreated backwards, looking at the persimmon that he didn't know whether had been washed or not, and the reed that he didn't know whether he had been washed, his eyebrows creased.

"What's wrong? Do you think I've drunk before?" Feng Ning Yan raised her eyebrows and glared at him.

Shen Ling Jue bitterly smiled, lowered his head and took a deep breath, then forcefully swallowed it.

"That's more like it!"

When she arrived at Linlang Pavilion, she had already eaten five persimmon seeds consecutively. Among them, at least two of them were aimed at forcing Shen Ling Jue to 'share' with her.

When they returned to the residence, Jing Qi saw that the princess was holding a persimmon in her hand and was happily sucking on it. The prince was also holding a bulging bag in his hand, and his face was strangely red.

He couldn't help but be startled, walking forward to receive the package from Shen Ling Jue. "Your Highness, are you …"

Shen Ling gave him a silent look before ordering Lanzhu to help Wangfei carry the persimmon upstairs. Then, he and Jingqi entered the study.

"I'll go to my study as soon as I get back …"

Feng Ning Yan complained, then asked Lan Zhu to help her pack up the daily necessities needed for her trip to the Jade Temple tomorrow.

Once the study room door closed, Shen Ling Jue sat on the soft couch while clenching his teeth. His entire body was itching and his collar was completely red.
