When the Prince Zhan returned, he went to the border and used a few short days to settle the chaos there. He even made the border look prosperous, and in a short time, the legend of the Prince Zhan began to spread again.

Without him, how could the Tian Sheng have a peaceful and prosperous life? Without him, Shangjing City would not be as prosperous and peaceful as it was now.

Not only that, the versions that were passed down among the people became more and more abundant, saying that the Prince Zhan was tall and powerful, able to hold gigantic iron, able to carry ten thousand kilograms, and extremely handsome, just like a God. At that moment, the entire Shangjing City was bustling with noise.

Once again, the girls from the famous sects in Shangjing City started to flatter and praise the Prince Zhan, and everyone tried to squeeze their way out of their minds to marry into the Prince Zhan's Mansion.

"Miss, it has been quite a few days since I last heard of the news about you from the gossip circles in Shangjing City. However, there are no rumors about others either. Ju Xiang had just returned from buying a bun for Nangong Waner from the market. Seeing that his young miss had been low spirited for the past few days, and that her appetite was not good, Ju Xiang took a detour to the tea stand to listen to a few gossips to relieve her boredom.

Ever since the Prince Zhan came back from the border, his name had been famous, and the topic of Nangong Waner and his betrothal had been suppressed long ago, something that no one was interested in, much less willing to believe in.

"Miss, should we go out and watch the show today?" Ju Xiang suggested as he looked at Nangong Waner with a smile.

Seeing that she liked the bun, Nangong Waner finally had some appetite. He gently bit on it and asked, "What's the excitement?"

I've heard that there are a lot of famous girls from noble clans waiting at the gates of the Mansion of Prince Xian, hoping to catch a glimpse of his majesty. Then there will be the legend of a talented woman." Ju Xiang suppressed her laughter and said happily as she stood beside Nangong Wan'er.

Nangong Waner took another bite of the bun and used some energy to chew it, "I met them by chance, running out of the house. After he finished speaking, Nangong Waner felt that the way he ate made him sob a little. He hurriedly poured himself a cup of water and drank it down happily. Then, he looked at Ju Xiang and continued, "That's true, only brainless people would like someone like Chu Xiuhan, who could split cities like them. What Su Xiangxiang? Big chest without a brain? What Qin Ruxue?

"Miss, do you like Prince Zhan?" Ju Xiang furrowed his brows and asked Nangong Waner.

Nangong Waner was still chattering nonstop, but he was stunned by Ju Xiang's question. He was unable to continue his sentence, and it took him a lot of effort to say a few words. Why should I like Chu Xiuhan? I... "I don't like him."

" Then Miss, you say that only brainless people would like Prince Zhan Lord. People say that the most brainless daughter of one of the famous sects in Shangjing City is Assistant Minister’s Residence's Nangong Waner. " Ju Xiang's words were shining, as he joked with Nangong Waner in all seriousness.

Just at that moment, Nangong Waner sat down on a stone table in the courtyard, and gently put down the meat buns in his hands. He then took out a wet towel and carefully wiped the floor with his hands, and then raised his head and shouted, "Uncle Wang! Uncle Wang! Uncle Wang, come! "

Very quickly, butler Uncle Wang rushed into the courtyard Nangong Waner was in.

"Miss, is there anything you need to tell me?" Steward Wang Bo was sweating profusely, he steadied his body and asked.

When Nangong Waner saw Uncle Wang running over with a head full of sweat due to his own shouts, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked politely, "Uncle Wang, I heard that you had a nephew who was good-looking and talented, but it's a pity that he was jealous of the heavens and died young. When I heard about this, my heart really ached."

Uncle Wang was confused. When did he have such a handsome nephew? The son of the Old Wang Family was very thin, and there weren't many males in the family. The only one with a similar age was still disappointing, could it be, "Miss, are you talking about the one who was beaten to death at wanhua tavern?"

Ju Xiang could only laugh as he stood at the side, but Nangong Waner was actually acting very seriously, "Aiya, Uncle Wang, I know, I even know about it. What a pity, isn't this what you call being jealous of the heavens?"

"Miss, it's not a pity that he died, but Miss still wanted to give me two taels of silver to collect his corpse. I felt that it was really shameful, and in the end, I heard that his corpse was carried away by wanhua tavern and was thrown into an unmarked cemetery.

Wang Burton paused before continuing, "I wonder why Miss suddenly asked about this?"

Nangong Waner slowly drank a mouthful of tea, and spoke in a relaxed manner, "Isn't this Ju Xiang? Originally, I wanted to marry Ju Xiang to that handsome nephew of yours, but who knew that I was a step too late. I called for Uncle Wang to come over, and wanted to ask you, does your hometown still have such an outstanding nephew for me to see? Don't worry, I don't have any requests. We can get married next year. "

Although Ju Xiang knew that Nangong Waner was only teasing him, on the surface, he couldn't help but be a little afraid, afraid that the Young Miss would betroth some random person to him in the future.

The butler, Uncle Wang was a very simple and honest person, unable to grasp Nangong Waner's methods at the moment. He could only reply honestly, "Even if my nephew is alive, he is not worthy to be with Ju Xiang, Miss. Furthermore, the son of the Old Wang family is always weak, other than the yellow-haired boy who was beaten to death in wanhua tavern, I heard that he is about to enter the academy, so it is not appropriate for him, Miss."

Just as the butler finished speaking, Nangong Waner laughed happily and said, "Six years old, he is not a popular child bride right now. I see that Ju Xiang is both knowledgeable and gentle, it is really appropriate for your Old Wang family to marry him. Ah, right, Ju Xiang even knows how to read words, he doesn't even need a reading partner anymore."

Ju Xiang was really afraid now, the young miss was not speaking the truth this time, right? Looking at Nangong Waner's serious expression, his words sounded as if he was lying.

Ju Xiang felt more and more that Nangong Waner wanted to marry him out. Thinking of this, Ju Xiang became extremely terrified, he kneeled on the ground with a "plop", grabbed onto Nangong Waner's thighs and cried out loud, "Miss, Ju Xiang is wrong, the person Ju Xiang talked about, Shangjing City is so brainless, Miss, you are so intelligent, from ancient times till now, no one can compare to you. Miss, you better not marry Ju Xiang off, it's really my fortune that Ju Xiang was able to serve such an intelligent lady. "

Nangong Waner laughed complacently in his heart, "Little girl, I can't play with you anymore, I am the ancestor of acting, the double responsibility of looks and acting." As he thought about this, he turned to the butler, Uncle Wang, and said very seriously, "Uncle Wang, Ju Xiang and I have a deep relationship with her, and suddenly, I can't help but marry her off to some child-rearing bride. Let's talk about this another day. If you have any other matters, you should go and take care of it."

Hearing Nangong Waner's words and seeing Ju Xiang act out a scene, Housekeeper Wang seemed to understand, today was another scene where Nangong Waner dug and buried Ju Xiang, Housekeeper Wang quietly sympathized with Ju Xiang, "Being able to serve the young miss, is truly not easy, not easy at all."

After the butler Uncle Wang left, Ju Xiang told Nangong Waner a few more of the Prince Zhan's gossip, which Nangong Waner was not very interested in. Ju Xiang did not say anything.

Just as Nangong Waner was bored to death as he flipped through the drawing books and drinking the tea, Lord Assistant Minister proudly took an invitation and walked into Nangong Waner's courtyard. When Nangong Waner saw the invitation from afar, he instinctively felt a headache.
