The morning market in the capital was bustling with activity. A large group of people swarmed in from the direction of the imperial palace. The person in the lead was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand.
The bystanders crowded around her to see what was going on. "Oh, so it was a few days ago that Princess Fei Ling fell into the water and was saved by a mysterious man."
Han Xiangyuan happened to be passing by, and upon hearing his words, his heart skipped a beat.
"So Princess Feiling also came out on the night of the Beggar Festival, and was even playing in the Green Jade Lake! "I was at the Green Jade Lake the other day, why didn't I meet the princess? What a pity."
"Yeah, why didn't I encounter such a good thing?" One must know that the person who saves Princess Ling will be rewarded with a thousand silvers! " Another uncle who was buying vegetables was speechless, "Just by jumping into the lake to save a person, he was able to get such a great reward. This is truly an extremely profitable transaction."
Begging Festival? Blue Jade Lake? Princess Feiling?
The astonishment in Han Xiangyuan's heart grew even stronger. He squeezed through the crowd to look at the announcement, and sure enough, his words were true.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world? On the night of his begging, he had also saved a luxuriously dressed girl at the Green Jade Lake. Could that girl be the legendary Princess Fei Ling?
Princess Feiling was the most beloved princess of the emperor. If she could be associated with Princess Fei Ling, it could be said that her future was bright! Even if he didn't have the slightest bit of literary talent, the emperor would never mistreat him for the sake of Princess Feiling.
As his thoughts traveled to this point, Han Xiangyuan felt a sense of ecstasy. The pie falling from the sky gave him an unreal feeling.
Previously, he did everything he could to get close to Mu Yu Ting. Wasn't it to gain a official and half official position? Who would've thought that the things he painstakingly pursued before would now be handed over to him!
"Young Master, are you alright?" The servant by Han Xiangyuan's side saw the strange expression on his face and was startled. "This is just a public announcement, why do you look so excited?"
Was he possessed this early in the morning? Otherwise, a normal person wouldn't have such a huge reaction to a public announcement.
When Han Xiangyuan heard the servant's voice, he was immediately roused from his stupor. He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and squeezed through the crowd, almost sprinting towards the government office. When the servant saw this, he was even more surprised. He felt that something was amiss with Han Xiangyuan.
"May I know why Young Master Han is here this time?" When the official heard that Han Xiangyuan had come to visit, he didn't dare to be negligent. Although he was still a little doubtful as to the purpose of his visit, he still stood up to greet him.
Han Xiangyuan stood with his hands behind his back, his head held high and chest puffed up. Although he wore a humble expression, pride could still be seen on his face. "I've come today because I wanted to trouble sire to introduce me to Princess Fei Ling."
"Princess Feiling?" The official was obviously startled as he asked with a puzzled expression, "May I ask what business does young master have?"
As far as he knew, there was no kindness or connection between Han Shengyuan and Princess Fei Ling. Furthermore, Han Xiangyuan was not an arrogant person who didn't know his place. He wouldn't come looking for a princess so easily.
"Today, I saw a public announcement on the market saying that I would look for the person who saved the princess on the day of begging. I wonder if that is true?"
Hearing Han Xiangyuan's words, the official gave a look of understanding. "So Young Master came here for this matter." This is absolutely true, I do not know who this young master is, if young master has any leads, please let me know. "
Han Xiangyuan understood that the official had given him the wrong answer, and cleared his throat. "I was the one who begged Princess Feiling the other day," he said. So please allow me to introduce you, Sir. "
"You?" The official was obviously surprised for a moment, but he soon laughed out loud. His face was full of disbelief, "Young Master shouldn't joke with us anymore, this matter cannot be tolerated."
The matter between Han Xiangyuan and Jiang Chenbi had been the talk of the town, and even he had heard of it. Didn't he start a fight with Miss Jiang on the street that day? How could he have the free time to go to the Green Jade Lake and save the princess?
"How could I lie about such a big matter?" "If the lord doesn't believe me, you can bring me in to confront the princess. At that time, wouldn't it be obvious if I were to lie? Furthermore, there is nothing good about me lying to you. "
When the official saw the seriousness in Han Xiangyuan's words, he couldn't help but believe them. The smile on his face faded as well. "Is Young Master serious?"
"Naturally, if I were to be a fake, I would be exposed when I see the princess. Deceiving the royal family will not end up well, I am not that stupid. " Seeing that the official was convinced, Han Xiangyuan continued to encourage him. "The crime of cheating the Emperor for a thousand taels of silver is not a good one."
The official thought about it carefully and felt that his words were reasonable. He believed eight to nine percent of the words. "Alright then. I'll send you to the palace to see the princess. As for the result, it's not under my control."
Even if Han Xiangyuan was a fake, there was no need for him to take responsibility. He would only be punished by Han Xiangyuan himself. But if he was real, then he would receive a huge reward. Why wouldn't he be willing to do such a good deal?
Under the arrangements of an official, Han Xiangyuan was quickly escorted into the palace. All the way to the rescue palace where Princess Feiling lives.
Ever since she had returned to the palace, Princess Fei Ling had always been thinking about that man. Even in her dreams, she still had to constantly recall the scene from that day. Even she herself did not understand the reason for this change.
"Princess, Young Master Han Xiangyuan requests an audience. He claims to be the person you're looking for." When the servant girl heard the official's report and hurriedly entered the hall, she saw that, as usual, Princess Fei Ling was leaning against the window, lost in thought as she gazed at the scenery in the courtyard.
He didn't know what kind of bewitching medicine that person had given the princess, but it was enough to make the princess keep thinking about her from now on.
When Princess Fei Ling heard that, her facial expression changed slightly. It was as if a tiny stone had been thrown into her heart, making her heart unable to calm down for a long time.
Very soon, another well-dressed man slowly walked in from outside. "This commoner pays his respects to the princess."
As he spoke, he lifted his head slowly to meet the gaze of Princess Fei Ling, and the corners of his lips curled up in a faint smile.
