The weather gradually turned cold. After the midsummer, the autumn morning seemed exceptionally fresh.

This morning, King Xuan arrived at the Residence of the Concubine King. When he reached the bend in the road in front of the Residence of the Concubine King, he saw a rider coming from across the street.

It would have been fine if it was an ordinary person, but now he saw a girl sitting right next to him. This girl was wearing a silver silk gown with smoke-colored threads. From afar, her eyebrows were just like jade, her eyes were like spring water, and her complexion was like peach blossoms. This woman was definitely not the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but she had a very special aura about her. Fang Zinan couldn't help but look at her a second time, and after three glances, he was completely attracted to her.

The woman could feel that someone was looking at her. She glanced at Duke Xuan with slight displeasure before continuing on her way. She had only taken a few steps when she stopped in front of the gate to the Duke Rong Palace. Fortunately, at this moment, Duke Xuan had arrived on his horse as well. The two of them looked at each other in surprise, but since they were not familiar with each other, the two of them did not say anything.

When the servant of the Residence of Rong saw two people, he went up and greeted them very politely, "So it's Duke Xuan." He then shifted his gaze to the woman. "Miss Xiao has also come."

King Xuan was startled. Miss Xiao, could she be Xiao Tian Yuan's younger sister?

Those who frequently went to the Duke Rong Mansion and were called Miss Xiao, who else could it be other than Ying Ying? She also didn't expect that the person who had been keeping an eye on her ever since she entered the alley was King Xuan. Although she often walked around the Residence of Rong, this was the first time she had seen King Xuan. King Xuan and King Rong were blood brothers, and now that they knew of this relationship, they were indeed somewhat similar. However, Prince Rong was weak and didn't look as heroic as King Xuan, but the two of them looked sixty to seventy percent alike.

As the servant entered the palace, the two of them were arranged to wait in the great hall.

King Xuan looked at Xiao Tian Ying and asked, "Miss, may I ask who General Xiao is to you?"

"The Great General Xiao is my brother." As she talked about home, Xiao Tianyi seemed to be a little embarrassed as she said blessings to King Xuan, "You must be King Xuan, right? Prince Rong's blood brother? "

"Why are you being so courteous, Miss Xiao?" King Xuan courteously chattered.

Not long after that, Fang Zinan and Shang Yueqing came into the hall.

"It's been a while since we last met." Fang Zinan cupped his hands.

"Your concubine greets King Xuan." This was what Shang Yiqing said, but she smiled at Ying Ying. "Ying Ying, why did you come to find me today?"

"I was too bored in the manor, so I wanted to find you to accompany me."

"In that case, I'll walk with you. Duke Xuan and Duke Rong must have something to say, so it would be inconvenient for us to disturb you. " Shang Yiqing held Ying Ying's hand and nodded slightly to King Xuan, then walked out of the main hall with Ying Ying.

"Ying Ying, why haven't you come looking for me for so many days?" Shang Yiqing actually wanted to ask Xiao Tian Yuan about this. During this period of time, whenever she brought up the idea of visiting Xiao Tian Yuan, Fang Zi Nan would always have many excuses to stop her, resulting in her not seeing Xiao Tian Yuan for the past month.

"I was in the manor every day, and I didn't see you looking for me, did I?" Ying Ying tilted her head and smiled.

"That's different." Shang Yiqing was about to say what Fang Zinan had done, but she was afraid of being mocked by Ying Ying. She couldn't help but say, "You also know that Prince Rong is injured. I've been taking care of him."

"Is Prince Rong's injury serious?"

"His health has always been poor. Even the smallest injuries would be difficult for him to heal, let alone this one." At this point, Shang Yiqing couldn't help but think that Fang Zinan's injuries healed very quickly, and he looked even better than usual.

Ying Ying revealed a concerned look. "So that's how it is?"

"Then what about Big Brother Xiao? What about his injuries? Was that sword from that day deeply wounded? " At the same time, Shang Yiqing was concerned about Xiao Tianyuan's safety.

Ying Ying smiled at her, and under the sunlight, she said with elegance like a orchid, "Don't worry, my big brother's body has always been very strong. In the past, when we marched to war, his injuries were far more severe than this."

"That's good."

The two of them walked along the corridor before Shang Yiqing asked as if she had thought of something, "How come you two know each other when I saw you together with King Xuan?"

Ying Ying shook her head. "I don't know him. Just now, when I was at the mansion, I bumped into him. After that, I'll wait for you in the main hall."

"I thought you knew each other?" Knowing that Xiao Tian Yuan was fine, Shang Yiqing felt that her worries for the past few days had disappeared, and even her tone became a lot more relaxed.

"Who knows him?" Ying Ying smiled. "But to be honest, he does resemble Prince Rong somewhat."

"Of course, they are blood-related brothers. How can they not be alike at all?" Shang Yiqing could not help but laugh.

"Come on, let's go to the back garden. I know the scenery there is beautiful, but before long, you will all move to Prince Rong's mansion. I don't think you'll be able to come back here in the future." Ying Ying said without a trace of regret. When she thought of Fang Zinan and the others leaving, she felt a little reluctant to part with them. After all, once they moved away, they would be far away from the Xiao manor.

After talking about proper business with Fang Zinan, King Xuan suddenly asked, "Miss Xiao, are you the younger sister of Great General Xiao?"

"What, you don't know her?" Fang Zinan was indeed curious because he had already known these two for a long time. He didn't expect them to not know each other at all.

King Xuan stood up confidently. "Let's go and see what Princess Rong is doing."

When they reached the back garden, King Xuan saw Ying Ying standing by the lake. Her clothes were lifted by the wind, and as she faced the lake, the sunlight shone down on her face. Her expression was indescribably tranquil and serene, and in her hands she held a laurel branch, her skin even whiter than the moon.

King Xuan felt his heart lurch. Before he even got close to Ying Ying, he asked with a smile, "What is Miss Xiao thinking?"

Ying Ying turned around and saw King Xuan and Prince Rong. She first smiled at King Xuan, then asked, "King Rong, how are your injuries?"

"I've pretty much recovered. On the other hand, your elder brother's injuries were heavier than mine, but I never went to visit him. He even saved my life." Fang Zinan felt a little guilty. If it wasn't for Shang Yiqing, he would have gone to see Xiao Tian Yuan a long time ago. How could he say this?

Ying Ying was confused and tried to persuade him instead. "My big brother won't care. He also knows that you've been injured."

"General Xiao is magnanimous and would naturally not mind." King Xuan caught up with Ying Ying's words and then looked at Fang Zinan. "I haven't seen General Xiao in a long time either. How about this? Let's go visit him at the Xiao manor tomorrow."

"Wow!" Ying Ying smiled happily.
