Shang Yiqing and Yingying walked out of the hall and into the back garden.

The two of them arrived at the flower garden in the middle of the garden. The clusters of flowers swayed in the wind, and Ying Ying couldn't help but laugh.

Shang Yiqing glanced at her, "This is not the first time you've come to the Residence of Prince Rong to admire a flower. It sounds like you've never been here before."

"Imperial Concubine Rong, I haven't been here since you two got married. It's been almost one to two months now. Is that right? " As Ying Ying said this, she smiled at her.

It was unknown if it was due to the sensitivity of the woman, but Shang Yiqing felt that there was something unusual between Ying Ying and Fang Zinan. However, this was not surprising. With Fang Zinan's appearance, there were many girls that were pretty narrow. When she first saw him, didn't he feel that he was as clean as a waterfall in a mountain?

Ying Ying lowered her head to look at the nine-calyx red flower by her side. She used her spring-like fingers to hold up the flower, then placed it by her nose to smell the fragrance of the flower. After a pause, she put down the flower and faintly said, "Princess, you really make people envious!"

Envy? Shang Yiqing almost jumped up. Marrying a dying Prince Rong, what was there to be envious about? She wanted to say something, but she restrained herself and had to look down at the flowers blooming at her feet.

After Ying Ying said this, she recalled what happened by the river the other day. She really couldn't understand how Prince Rong treated Shang Yiqing, because his actions were so strange!

The two of them did not speak, but they heard footsteps approaching. When he looked back, it turned out that Fang Zinan and Xiao Tianyuan had also come to the back garden.

"Prince Rong and my brother are coming." As Ying Ying said this, she bowed and stood up. Standing among the flowers, her clothes were fluttering in the wind, and her gauze skirt was rising and falling. Her beautiful body was in full view, and the flowers reflected her beauty. She was truly more delicate than flowers!

Shang Yiqing stared at her blankly before suddenly saying, "Ying Ying, you're so beautiful!"

Ying Ying was flattered because the last time they had met, she had been full of hostility towards her. But she hadn't expected her to be so sincere; she had seen Shang Yiqing's body, eyes, and smile, and she had seen a sense of elation and enthusiasm that she had never felt before.

At this time, Fang Zinan and Xiao Tianyuan were already very close to them. Fang Zinan smiled and asked: "What are you two talking about?"

"Of course we're admiring the flowers." At one point, she thought that she could marry him. She didn't expect that with Prince Rong's weak physique, he would be opposed by her family, and among them, the one who was the most opposed was her brother. His brother had said to her sincerely and sincerely, "I know that you like Prince Rong, and as his friend, I am very happy for him. But as your brother, I will never support you, because your body is too weak, and I don't want you to marry him like this! " From then on, she could only conceal her thoughts deeply, but she couldn't let go of Prince Rong. It wasn't until the empress bestowed the marriage that she began to despair. All her dreams had been shattered. On the day of Prince Rong's wedding, she shut herself in her room and cried for a long time. When she stopped crying, she told herself that she must completely forget about Fang Zinan, but just a few days ago when she met him in Yi Jiang, she realized that everything was just a fake effort. She still loved him deeply, and she couldn't let him go!

"I thought you two were going to get into a fight!" As Fang Zinan spoke, he glanced at Shang Yiqing. He understood his intentions very clearly, he wasn't afraid of an argument between Ying Ying and Shang Yiqing, but of conflict between his wife and Ying Ying.

Shang Yiqing glared at Fang Zinan. She knew how much he despised her. When she thought about what he had done, she could only clench her teeth in hatred!

The more cold and detached he looked, the more Shang Yiqing felt uncomfortable in her heart. No matter what, Xiao Tianyuan had saved her before, but she had lied in front of him, intentionally lying to him.

"It'll be Dragon Boat Festival soon. The flowers won't bloom for long." Fang Zinan sighed and said: "Let's go to the Full Moon Pavilion." He greeted the Xiao siblings.

Xiao Tianyuan followed behind him.

Ying Ying and Shang Yiqing couldn't help but follow.

The Full Moon Pavilion was built right before the lake, and one could overlook the entire garden from within. On one side was the rippling waters of the lake, and on the other was a field of blossoming flowers. The beautiful scenery of the garden could be seen from afar.

Fang Zinan and Xiao Tianyuan walked into the pavilion first. Ying Ying followed behind them, but Shang Yiqing was the last. As she walked up the stairs, she thought to herself, meeting Xiao Tianyuan today seems very awkward. I don't know why, but my heart felt empty and a little disappointed. He staggered and fell into the pavilion …

"Be careful!" Xiao Tianyuan saw it and came over just in time to catch her.

"Thank you." Shang Yiqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She steadied herself and let go of Xiao Tianyuan's hand.

All of this was recorded in Fang Zinan's eyes. He only pretended not to see it as he sat down at the stone table in the pavilion and said, "Everyone, sit here and rest for a while." He said this and then heavily clapped twice.

The servants not far away all filed out when they heard the familiar order. They brought the prepared delicacies, fruits, and delicacies over and quickly filled the table before leaving in an orderly fashion.

"Brother Xiao, try out the old wine in my residence today. This is the Bamboo Leaf Green that I have hidden for ten years. How about you try it?" Fang Zinan said as he poured wine for everyone.

Xiao Tianyuan raised his glass and downed it in one gulp. "Good wine. Sweet and mellow. Aroma, distant and clean."

"I knew Brother Xiao was someone who knew wine!" "Come, let's toast." Fang Zinan raised his glass and smiled.

"Wait!"

The person who spoke was Shang Yiqing. Her words drew everyone's attention to her.

"What do you have to say?" Fang Zinan looked at her calmly.

"I know that you are not strong enough to drink. Besides, drinking alcohol is not good for your illness. How about I drink alcohol with Great General Xiao instead?" With that, Shang Yiqing snatched the wine cup from his hand without even bothering to look at Fang Zinan, and raised her hand towards Xiao Tianyang, "To do first is to respect him!" After saying that, she drank it all in one go.

Xiao Tianyuan was stunned for a moment as a trace of an imperceptible smile appeared on his stern face. "Since wangfei is so compassionate to the prince, then I will not force you. Come, let me also offer a toast!"
