For half a month, the Eighth Concubine always had many excuses to prevent Yinsi from entering Tinglan Courtyard.

The servants in the mansion all felt that in recent days, the Eighth Lady seemed to have become more attached to the Prince than before, and now she invites the Prince to Xinxue Courtyard every day.

That day, when Yinsi came back from court, he picked up the document on the table.

He said calmly, seemingly without any emotion: "What's going on in Tinglan Court recently?"

When Zhao Ruisheng heard this, he knew that his master was asking about Furong Pavilion. After all, his master had never paid attention to these things before, except for the Princess Niu Hulu he met that day.

Thinking of this, he paused and lowered his waist:

"Master, these days, the lights in Hibiscus Pavilion have been turned off earlier and earlier."

He hesitated as he thought of something.

Yinsi frowned slightly and glanced at him: "Anything else?"

Zhao Ruisheng lowered his head and said, "Girl Niu Hulu has been going to the pond lately, sitting there all day, looking at..."

He glanced at his master hesitantly: "Keep looking at the front yard... Master... your residence."

When Yinsi heard this, his eyes became deep for a moment, but he said no more and continued to concentrate on his work.

Zhao Ruisheng was confused when he saw this and didn't understand what his grandfather meant.

But he didn't dare to disturb him and quietly left.

But soon, he came in again from outside.

"Master, someone is coming from the Fu Jin courtyard. Please come over to have dinner."

A hint of impatience flashed across Yinsi's clear eyes, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Master?"

Zhao Ruisheng was a little nervous. Although their master seemed gentle and elegant on weekdays, his temper was actually difficult to understand. Especially when he got angry, he looked even more terrifying than other masters.

Yinsi did not put down the book in his hand. His gentle voice sounded, but it was inexplicably a little chilly:

"Go and tell Mrs. Fujin that I have something to do and will not be coming today."

"Yes."

Zhao Ruisheng bowed and left.

But after a while, there was a noise outside, and then he came in with a bitter face, and said respectfully:

"Master, Qingduo is here and said that Fu Jin's hand was accidentally injured. Please go over and take a look."

Yinsi finally raised his head, the emotion in his gentle eyes had faded. He put down the book and stood up.

"Let's go."

His steps were still calm, without any disorder.

Zhao Ruisheng followed, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart. He didn't understand why the concubine was pressing the master so hard and leaving him no room at all.

……

Xinxueyuan

"Lord Baylor has arrived."

"Good luck to Lord Beile."

When the Eighth Lady saw Yinsi coming, her eyes lit up and she hurried to greet him.

"Master, you are here."

Yinsi nodded, his eyes fell on the Eighth Lady's smooth hands, not seeing any signs of injury. He paused for a moment, but his face showed worry: "The maid said that your hand was injured, what happened?"

The Eighth Lady shook her head and held up a slightly red finger: "Don't worry, Master. I thought you were busy with work, so I wanted to cook you a bowl of chicken soup. But I opened the lid too hastily and got burned by accident. I am an ignorant maid. How could I bother you with such a small matter? I really shouldn't have done that."

Yinsi's eyes fell on her hand, and the gentle emotion in his eyes gradually subsided, but he still asked in a gentle voice: "But have you applied the medicine?"

"It has already been wiped."

"From now on, let the servants do such trivial things as cooking chicken soup. I have received Fu Jin's kindness, but you must never do this again in the future."

The Eighth Lady nodded quickly: "Master has already had his meal, how about staying for some?"

Yinsi shook his head: "No need, I have something else to do, Fu Jin can use it yourself."

After saying this, he didn't stay long and left.

Looking at Yinsi's departing back, the Eighth Lady felt very uncomfortable. She didn't know why, maybe it was a psychological effect. She really felt a little unwell these days, but the court doctor couldn't find anything.

On the pond side, Sheng Huan had already learned that Yinsi was coming here.

It was worth it that she had been acting for so long, because she would have to fight a tough battle soon.

Yinsi was in a bad mood. Along the way, he didn't even realize that he was heading towards the pond.

Zhao Ruisheng did notice it, but he didn't say much.

"I've actually seen Lord Beile before..."

As they arrived, they heard a soft female voice.

Yinsi paused, stood with his hands behind his back, but his eyes were fixed on the woman who was leaning on the handrail and looking towards the front yard.

When he saw it was her, his eyes flickered.

"Ah? Master, have you met the prince before?" Chunxue was a little surprised.

Sheng Huan already knew that Yinsi had arrived. She nodded, a smile appeared in her eyes, and her expression softened:

"Yes, I used to go to the restaurant with my family, and the table was close to the window. I just glanced outside and saw Lord Beile."

"He was wearing a green brocade robe that day, and he seemed to glow in the crowd. I was wondering at the time, how could there be such a handsome man in the world? He smiled so beautifully, but he looked a little sad..."

"I didn't know who he was, and I thought I would never see him again, but I didn't expect..."

Having said this, she stopped talking and just looked towards the front yard, smiling softly, with tears seemingly falling from the corners of her eyes.

"I met him, and he was just as I thought, very nice and gentle..."

Sheng Huan naturally did not lie about the restaurant incident. They were both there at the time, but the original owner did not see Yinsi. However, that did not stop her from saying so.

As Yinsi listened, the fingers behind his back suddenly curled up without him noticing.

His eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know when they had been fixed on her, and they... never moved away.
