With regards to the complicated relationship between the Great Chen and the circle, Xie Jingxi had always been learning by using them. There were too many people that couldn't match her real name, and Third Princess was one of them.

Initially, she had also thought about why Third Princess would help her, she only thought that Third Princess was trying to build a good relationship with her, but now that she thought about it, it was probably not that simple. These rich and powerful people mostly emphasized how to help others without any reason, and although Third Princess was young, she had always been thorough in her conduct, and had always been very brave, probably because of Venerable Chen's teachings.

He only had one princess under his knee, so he didn't need to be involved in the strife in the previous dynasty. Seeing the Third Princess, he knew that she was definitely an insightful woman, but after thinking about it more, she could not understand, she was not deeply involved with the Chen family, and had not helped her to such a situation.

”When I saw you that day, I already had a premonition of who you were, and now that it seems like I had not misjudged you, you returned very well just now. I have never seen royal father admire anyone like that, if I guessed correctly, Elder Official Xie should be fine very soon.”

Xie Jingxi was surprised, she did not expect that Third Princess, who was young, would have such sharp eyes. Indeed, no one in the imperial harem was simple, even a little princess dressed in luxurious clothing like her, grew up, must become smart?

”With Princess's blessings, His Majesty is an enlightened ruler, he would not invert black and white.”

Third Princess looked at her with a confused expression, then changed the topic: ”You don't have to be so cautious when Wan'er isn't here, just use the food to admire the scenery later. If you hear that you are extremely good in the water, you probably won't be afraid, just wait until you come to the palace a few more times.”

The Third Princess advised with good intentions, and Xie Jingxi replied with a smile, ”Fortunately you're here.”

The surface of the lake in the palace was not as big as the one in the King Jin Palace, but the boat was mighty, probably for the pleasure boat feast. The interior was extremely luxurious, the main ship of the His Majesty had Gu Yun and Sheng Luan as its companion, in addition to the Empress Imperial Noble Consort Shen, Little Shen Shi and a few other concubines, Xie Jingxi and Third Princess were also among them.

Xie Jingxi and Gu Yun looked at each other, and Gu Yun assured her. When she saw him, Xie Jingxi's worries were relieved, and with Third Princess by her side, she was no longer as reserved as she was before.

”Today, you have all basked in the glory of Xuanchen and his wife, and it is rare for you all to be together and happy. We will drink a cup first.”

Gu Yun hurriedly said that he dared not, but Sheng Luan, who was by the side, was more familiar with His Majesty, and he raised a cup for him, ”His Majesty, you clearly do not know how to show kindness to a couple, their faces are still young and tender, but you can't make fun of them, I will toast His Majesty on his behalf, and ask His Majesty to be merciful.”

His Majesty glared at him, ”You sure know how to be a good person, how can you only drink one cup of wine with this amount of alcohol? Drink three full cups first then talk.”

Sheng Luan was straightforward as well, as he drank three cups of wine, he then said to his wife teasingly: ”Our General Sheng should only see how the Lord Gu loves his wife, we should also say one for ourselves. Later, we will see how the General Sheng loves his wife.”

”Shen Shi's words are reasonable. You're not young anymore, you should find one. When you see which lady has caught your eye, tell me and I will grant you your marriage.”

Anyone who was familiar with Sheng Luan knew that he shouldn't mention this to him. Of course, someone like the King Jin who was shameless would be treated as a different matter. If someone who wasn't familiar with him were to ask, it would be equivalent to tearing his scar.

However, the Third Princess next to them had an unintentional reaction that caused others to be curious. While everyone was joking around, she actually took a bite of the Jadeite Radish as if there was no one around her. As Xie Jingxi got closer, he could inevitably hear what seemed to be some unfriendly chewing sounds.

Xie Jingxi was startled, then suddenly realized a problem. Could it be that the Third Princess was interested in Sheng Luan? Could it be that Third Princess didn't come with her on the ship today, but for Sheng Luan?

The Third Princess was only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, Sheng Luan was about the same as Gu Yun, they were already over twenty years old, which was a distance of ten years. Thinking about it, it was quite a distance, if she had to think about it, the His Majesty would probably intentionally match up, but she did not know when the Third Princess gave their approval, but Sheng Luan's stupid brain could not really tell, so it would be difficult for the Third Princess to marry the General Sheng.

Imperial Noble Consort Shen continued: ”Speaking of which, Mrs. Gu's mother also has a pair of sister-in-law. They are around the age of marriage, and looking at Mrs. Gu's elegant demeanor, he should be a dragon among men.

His Majesty looked a little curious. ”If Imperial Consort didn't mention, I had forgotten that Elder Official Xie still has a pair of children. When I have some free time next time, I would like to meet them.”
