The weather in Kyoto is very good today. Although it is winter, the sun is shining brightly. It is now afternoon, the time of the day when the sun is the strongest. A ray of sunlight shines through the branches next to the Gold Silk Embroidery Workshop and falls on Lin Qingye who is standing at the door of the shop, casting a circle of faint light around her. Against the backdrop of the white fox cloak, she looks sparkling.

The crowd around was still discussing Lin Qingye, and soon someone with sharp eyes said, "Look, this second young lady is really pretty, and this white fox cape really suits her!"

"Yes! She looks like she is glowing. The person who gave her this cape really has good taste. A treasure should be matched with a beauty!"

"Her eyes are really beautiful, but the color of their pupils seems to be different from ours."

"She looks like someone from the Western Regions. I've seen people from the Western Regions in picture books before, and they look like this."

"I heard that there are beauties in the Western Regions. It really lives up to their reputation. They are so beautiful!"

Lin Qingyao didn't expect the scene around her to change suddenly. Everyone was talking about Lin Qingye's appearance and completely forgot what she had just said. Lin Qingyao was immediately furious.

Lin Qingyao was just thinking about saying something to turn the situation around when a few guards came out of the crowd and pushed through the crowd. When everyone saw the guards, they quickly made way and immediately cleared a path.

The person following behind the guard was actually the third prince Ye Tinghua. As soon as Lin Qing saw Ye Tinghua, his anger burned in his heart. He couldn't help but curse in his heart, saying that he really didn't check the almanac before going out today and met all kinds of people.

As soon as Lin Qingyao saw Ye Tinghua, the joy in her heart overflowed. Her backer was here, and today she was going to teach this ungrateful Lin Qingye a lesson and let her see what a real daughter of a marquis is.

When the common people saw that it was the Third Prince, they all knelt down and saluted, saying, "We are here to see His Majesty the Third Prince."

Ye Tinghua also smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, don't be polite. I am familiar with Pingnan Marquis. I saw the carriage of Pingnan Marquis's mansion parked at the door and so many people gathered around, so I came over to see the excitement."

After saying that, Ye Tinghua couldn't help looking at Lin Qingye. Why didn't he realize that Lin Qingye was so beautiful before? Especially her eyes, which were like a clear spring. Her outfit today was so suitable for her. Ye Tinghua had never seen anyone wear white so beautifully. At this moment, Lin Qingye was like a fairy walking out of a painting in Ye Tinghua's heart. She was so beautiful that she made people feel sacred and inviolable.

Lin Qingyao who was standing by also felt that Ye Tinghua looked at Lin Qingye with an unusual look. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis and wished she could tear Lin Qingye to pieces. Lin Qingyao immediately regretted why she had just caused trouble for Lin Qingye and created the opportunity for the Third Prince to see her, especially when Lin Qingye was dressed so beautifully.

Lin Qingyao was regretting her decision to the core at this moment, but in order to maintain the gentle and pleasant impression she had always had in Ye Tinghua's heart, she did not dare to lose her temper even though she was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Even so, Lin Qingyao quickly recovered from her anger. She smiled and said, "It's just right that you, the Third Prince, have come. I'm afraid that I've wrongly accused my sister. From what I've seen, the cloak on my sister is made of a white fox tributed from the Western Regions. The Third Prince, it's just right for me to take a look. Am I right? I don't know where my sister got this treasure. It is said that such a fine white fox is rare even in the palace!"

After hearing what Lin Qingyao said, Ye Tinghua quickly came back to his senses. He looked up and down at the white fox cloak that Lin Qingyao was wearing, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "The cloak that the second young lady is wearing is indeed made of the snow mountain white fox tributed from the Western Regions. I wonder where the Western Region snow mountain white fox fur that the second young lady is wearing came from."

When Lin Qingyao heard Ye Tinghua say this, she couldn't help but feel proud again. She thought to herself, "Lin Qingye, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about leaving. I wonder if you will be so arrogant next time? You are just a concubine's daughter, but you dare to covet such a good thing. You got it but didn't give it to me. Today I will let you know what the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children is. Only I, the legitimate daughter of the Pingnan Marquis's Mansion, deserve this kind of good thing."

Everyone's eyes began to look at Lin Qingye again, wanting to see what good explanation she could give.

Lin Qing was not afraid of such a situation. She said calmly, "Big sister, are you really going to make such a fuss? This is a family matter. I don't want to make our family affairs known to everyone. But today, big sister is so aggressive, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince is here. If I don't give a reasonable explanation today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone."

After saying that, Lin Qing also looked at the servant beside him and asked, "Excuse me, little brother, is my elder sister a frequent customer of yours? How much money does our Pingnan Marquis Mansion spend in your Golden Silk Embroidery Workshop every month?"

Lin Qingyao found it funny and said immediately, "Lin Qingye, the Third Prince is asking you where you got this snow-capped white fox fur from the Western Regions, but you are answering a question that is not relevant. I'm afraid you are trying to confuse him. Besides, how much money the Marquis's Mansion spends in a month is something you, a concubine's daughter, can ask?"

The Third Prince reacted quickly after hearing this. He immediately thought of what Lin Qingyao had said to him before. Lin Qingye's mother had a huge dowry, and even the people in the Marquis' Mansion relied on Lin Qingye's concubine's dowry to maintain their previous extravagant expenses.

The Third Prince immediately felt that Lin Qingyao was a brainless person. Isn't this embarrassing for him in public? Although this white fox is a tribute from the Western Regions, it is not that it is not for sale. If Lin Qingyao's aunt is really that wealthy, it is not difficult to buy such a white fox cloak. Lin Qing has said so much. This Lin Qingyao doesn't know how to retreat, but is still aggressive here. How did he fall in love with such a stupid woman before?

Lin Qingyao was totally unaware of this. Instead, she became very proud of what she had said. It just so happened that the Third Prince was here, and she could show him what a legitimate daughter looked like. In the future, when she married into the Third Prince's Mansion, she would definitely be able to manage it for him.

Lin Qing also laughed after hearing this. Ye Tinghua's eyes never left her. She looked even more beautiful when she smiled. Her smile was simply like a spring breeze.

Lin Qing also smiled and asked, "What if I said that I bought this white fox cloak from a merchant from the Western Regions?"

Lin Qingyao also laughed after hearing this. She laughed and mocked, "Sister, are you kidding? This is a tribute. How are you going to buy it?"

Lin Qingye walked towards Lin Qingyao casually. When passing by Ye Tinghua, Ye Tinghua smelled a refreshing fragrance. The fragrance was like a cold spring in an empty mountain, the cool and gentle high mountain flowers after the rain, mixed with the scent of orange blossom and cedar.

Lin Qing also came to Lin Qingyao's side with a sarcastic look on his face, and asked loudly, "Sister, do you really think that I can't afford this Snow Mountain White Fox?"
