In the morning, after Su Lingyue got up, she went to He Mansion accompanied by Caiyi and Li Jing.

After giving Qin Wan Ning acupuncture and moxibustion, Su Lingyue and her two companions went to her uncle's clothing shop.

"Miss, are you going to buy clothes again?" Caiyi was a little surprised.

Caiyi was not reluctant to spend money, but when Su Lingyue got married, she made more than ten sets of clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. If she saw something she liked on the street, she would buy more.

In Furong Pavilion, there was a room that was specifically used to store Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue's clothes, and it was already almost full, so another room had to be freed up.

"No, today I want to pick clothes for you." Su Lingyue smiled gently.

"Why? Today is not a holiday." Caiyi was puzzled.

Su Lingyue asked with a smile, "Do we need to choose a day to give gifts?"

Caiyi answered in a daze, "No need."

"That's fine!" Su Lingyue smiled and led the two into the clothing shop.

Li Jing had no objection, because the clothes Su Lingyue gave her were not only beautiful but also very warm.

It's good to have such a domineering master.

"Since the princess has said so, just choose!" Li Jing patted Caiyi's shoulder and said lightly. It was unclear whether she was happy or not.

But through her words, Su Lingyue was sure that she was happy.

Su Lingyue couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Li Jing's attitude this time is completely opposite to last time. The first intention should have been gone. It seems that the method of forced bribery last time was quite effective.

"The lady is here!"

As soon as they entered the shop, Shopkeeper Chen came to greet them with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I want to pick out two sets of dresses for them." Su Lingyue smiled and nodded slightly.

"Oh, I see! We just happened to have a few dresses with new patterns. Ladies, come over and take a look." Shopkeeper Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

Before Su Lingyue got married, she picked out clothes for her two personal maids here. She was very generous and only picked the best ones to give away. Manager Chen was no longer surprised by this.

They each picked out a long jacket and a short jacket.

Su Lingyue thought that she couldn't neglect one for the other, so she picked out two sets of dresses for Caidie and Xia He Qiulu, and also picked some for Yan Qing, Yun Ting, and the coachman Lai Fu.

"Aren't the princess and the prince picky?" Li Jing asked puzzledly while holding the new clothes.

Su Lingyue smiled and said, "Let Caiyi tell you this."

Caiyi explained to her, "Miss Aqing, you don't know that the prince never wears ready-made clothes, only custom-made ones."

Li Jing asked again, "Where's the princess?"

Caiyi sighed helplessly, "Young lady's dowry includes dozens of sets of clothes, and half of them are still untouched. If I buy more, I'm afraid I'll have to clear out another room to store them."

"That's it!" Su Lingyue said with a chuckle.

Most of her and Xiao Yu's clothes were custom-made at Qiluo Cloth Shop. Occasionally, if they saw nice ready-made clothes, they would buy them.

But Xiao Yu was very picky and would not wear anything unless it was custom-made.

Even if the fabrics are the same, he can tell the difference between ready-made and custom-made clothes just by putting them on.

Su Lingyue didn't plan to buy it for him since he didn't need it anyway.

Caiyi went to Zuixianlou and bought Su Lingyue’s favorite red bean cake and hibiscus pastry, and then the three of them returned home.

The selected clothes were delivered to the palace by the waiter. The winter clothes were thick and heavy, and they took up an entire carriage.

After Li Jing took her dress, she asked Su Lingyue as usual, "Will the princess leave the palace today?"

"No." Su Lingyue replied.

She knew that Li Jing would occasionally go out of the house to take care of her own affairs, so she would plan to get things done together.

After hearing Su Lingyue's words, Li Jing raised the corners of her lips slightly, hugged the new clothes, and walked briskly back to her room.

After Li Jing left, Su Lingyue instructed Lai Fu, "Lai Fu, give them the ones from Yan Qing and Yun Ting. Do you know how to tell them apart?"

"I know. The light color belongs to Guard Yan, and the dark color belongs to Guard Yun."

Su Lingyue often gave Lai Fu rewards on a daily basis. Lai Fu was grateful to her and worked very diligently.

Su Lingyue returned to the hall of Furong Pavilion and did not see Xiao Yu.

"Where is the prince?" Su Lingyue asked Xia He who was bringing tea.

Xia He replied, "Princess, the prince and Guard Yan went to the study together."

"I know, go ahead."

After Xia He left, Cai Yi, who had put away her clothes, came in with a box of snacks.

"Miss, please try it. It's still hot." Caiyi placed the red bean cake and hibiscus pastry from Zuixianju on the table next to Su Lingyue.

Su Lingyue picked up a piece of hibiscus pastry, put it in her mouth, took a small bite, and found it crispy and sweet.

"You all have it, but the prince doesn't. Will he be unhappy?" Su Lingyue asked Caiyi.

Caiyi thought for a moment and replied, "That...is hard to say."

"Although the prince has everything he needs, he will be very happy if he receives something from the young lady."

Hearing Caiyi say this, Su Lingyue smiled and said, "Come on, accompany me to Jinxiu Pavilion."

In the study, Xiao Yu's handsome eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his chiseled face looked solemn.

He looked at the scroll unfolded on the table, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

These paintings were made by Xiao Yu and Yan Qing a few days ago, imitating the paintings in Liu Fang's mansion.

"What did your Majesty see?"

Yan Qing looked at Xiao Yu with gloomy eyes in confusion and asked doubtfully.

Xiao Yu pointed to the painting on the far left and said in a deep voice, "This is the former Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. It depicts the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis family getting married."

"What?" Yan Qing exclaimed in surprise.

Yun Ting, who was leaning against the wall, rushed to the desk upon hearing the words. He stared at the painting on the glass with wide eyes, his chest heaving violently and his hands trembling slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Qing asked worriedly when she saw him like this.

Yun Ting has always been introverted, speaks little, and rarely shows his emotions. He has never seen Yun Ting like this before.

Yun Ting did not reply to him, but looked at Xiao Yu excitedly, "Prince, can you give me this painting?"

He gradually calmed down, his breathing became smoother, and his hands stopped shaking.

Xiao Yu looked at him, his eyes returning to their usual indifferent expression, "This painting cannot be kept. I know that, and so do others. You know the pros and cons of it."

Yun Ting's eyes gradually dimmed. He glanced at the painting again, then returned to his usual cold and stern look. He put down the painting in his hand and didn't look at it again.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Yu didn't say anything else. He turned to Yan Qing and said, "Yan Qing, take these three paintings and burn them."

Although Yan Qing didn't understand the whole story, just by reading the four words "Duke Zhenguo's Mansion", he knew the hidden danger.

If these three paintings are kept and seen by others, it will bring trouble to you.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Qing looked at the painting and asked hesitantly, "Is Liu Fang one of us?"

"No, let's observe first."

"What about the three paintings he has?"

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said in a cold voice, "Go take the painting away and destroy it. No matter if he is an enemy or a friend, take it as a warning."

"As for him, don't worry about him for now. Let's see what he does in the future."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Yan Qing replied in a deep voice.

When Xiao Yu returned to the hall of Hibiscus Pavilion, he saw red bean cakes and hibiscus pastries on the table, with a small half bitten off the top piece of hibiscus pastry.

It seems that his princess has returned.

Xiao Yu curled his lips lightly, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, paused, put it down, picked up the remaining half and put it into his mouth.

Crispy, sweet and very delicious.

"Your Highness, have we finished discussing this matter?" Su Lingyue's brisk voice came from the door.

Xiao Yu turned around and saw Su Lingyue walking towards him with a bright smile.
