Yuwen Fei, are you crazy?

In the end, Huai Jin still did not reply to Lan Ling, which made Lan Ling feel extremely depressed for a long time. Her two eyes looked at Huai Jin, wanting him to answer her question with certainty.

"You really don't like Xibo Marquis?" Lan Ling pressed down the book in his hands, both of his eyes were staring straight at Huai Jin, hoping to see the answer from that pair of eyes.

Seeing that Huai Jin did not even bat an eyelid, Lan Ling coldly snorted, stood up and brushed off the dust on her buttocks, then excitedly ran to find Ran Mei. The red snake would not come back anyway, but he had decided to not leave a single bite for the shameless woman to eat tonight!

Lan Ling, who could not find the answer to this question, turned and tried to talk to Ran Mei, but when it came to this matter, Ran Mei was like a dull gourd that could not be asked.

Although Ran Mei didn't tell Lan Ling, she was curious. Seeing the princess's previous expression, it was clear that she liked the Xibo Marquis, but the current indifference didn't seem to be an act either.

However, soon, the two of them would have a chance to verify their thoughts. This was because every year, after autumn, the Emperor would organize an event called Autumn Shou, at which time, the princes, princesses, and ladies of the imperial harem would all have the chance to go. If he took first place in the Autumn Hunt, he could ask the Emperor for a wish.

Eight years ago, Grand Princess Ping Yang had won first place in the Autumn Hunt and forced the emperor to keep the name list on the list to the public and made it her own Prince Consort. This act of being a genius and beautiful woman had dazzled the hearts of so many women in the capital all those years ago.

This year, Huai Jin had personally promised Prince Jin that he would always be the best rider in the capital. It could be said that, since Prince Jin had already promised to help Huai Jin obtain the top spot, then the outcome for this year's Autumn Shou had already been decided.

The night before Qiu Shou, Lan Ling begged for half a day before Huai Jin agreed to bring him there. After receiving the promise, Lan Ling happily ran back to her own room, muttering to herself that she could finally meet Xibo Marquis in person.

Ran Mei chuckled, after helping Huai Jin bathe and change her clothes, she left the main hall, and returned to her own room to rest.

Huai Jin stretched her body and yawned, then sat down and poured herself a cup of tea and waited quietly.

A few days ago, Yuwen Fei's men had come to report, saying that there were important things to report before the Autumn Hunt, but there was still no news of them until today. Huai Jin waited a little longer, seeing that no one came, she coldly snorted, then stood up and returned to her room, planning to sleep. Presumably, it was not a big deal for Yuwen Fei to be so careless.

But the moment Huai Jin entered the room, she saw a person sleeping soundly on his bed, looking extremely comfortable.

"Yuwen Fei!" With a low shout, Huai Jin's right hand lightly shook, and the red snake wrapped itself around Yuwen Fei's waist like a nimble red ribbon.

With a twist of his wrist, with a "dong" sound, he directly pulled Yuwen Fei out of bed!

The pain from his back caused Yuwen Fei to wake up from his sleep, and he opened his eyes slowly. He glared at Huai Jin unhappily, and rubbed her aching arm.

Huai Jin kept the red snake and frowned as she looked at the messy bed that Yuwen Fei had made. With a cold expression, he took out a new bed from the wardrobe and changed into it.

Yuwen Fei straightened his back and stood up, casually sweeping the dust off his body, then sat on the bed with his legs crossed, waving a fan as he watched Huai Jin bustle around.

After changing to a new bed, Huai Jin threw the bed that Yuwen Fei had laid on to the side disdainfully.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I wonder just how many women would want this prince to lie on their embroidery bed?"

Yuwen Fei looked at the blanket that had been abandoned in the corner, and shook his head. Who knew that the moment he arrived, he would run into Huai Jin taking a bath, and after waiting for a long time, he unknowingly fell asleep. However, his sleep was light, and by the time Ran Mei left, he had already woken up, with the intention of teasing Huai Jin. Who knew that the other side would actually flip him over from the bed.

Huai Jin could not deny Yuwen Fei's words. Although Yuwen Fei's appearance was outstanding and was the current Seventh Prince, but based on his way of doing things and not getting censured by the officials, it was already something that the Emperor would love. He really did not think that many women would like Yuwen Fei like him, furthermore, he had heard quite a bit about the Seventh Prince's glorious achievements in the past few days.

The first year he came back from Luzhoushan, the Seventh Prince made a ruckus in the throne room while drunk. He scolded the ministers by pointing at their noses and pouring out wine like a madman. Later on, he was punished to meddle in seclusion and charged into the Mianan Temple, all for the sake of finding the dozens of jars of primeval red buried under the Scriptures Pavilion by the Wisdom Master.

The worst case scenario would be the Wang Po incident that was mentioned by Zhao Yang that night. It was rumored that Yuwen Fei had once stood in front of the Cloudburst Pavilion with a torch, and threatened to burn out the entire Cloudburst Pavilion if Zhao Yang did not apologize to him. This was why Zhao Yang unwillingly apologized to the Wang Po who sold noodles.

The doubt in Huai Jin's eyes became stronger and stronger. She glanced at her, and only smiled slightly, then slanted her body and laid down on the bed. She sighed and said: "You, do not understand women."

Hearing his words, Huai Jin almost burst out laughing. She? Don't understand women?
