Having really no idea, Lin Luoling folded the note Prince An gave her and hid it in her sleeve pocket.

After receiving two notes from Prince An in a row, Lin Luoling did not want to owe Prince An a favor, so he turned his eyes, picked up a pen and paper on the long tailoring table on the second floor, and wrote down the address of Liu Bo, who had an affair with Rong Shuhua, intending to give it secretly to Prince An.

Liu Bo was the spy planted in Xuzhou, the capital by the eldest prince, Prince Jin, so he made Prince An be on guard. In this way, he could be considered as repaying Prince An's favor.

Not wanting to reveal her real handwriting, Lin Luoling quickly wrote down Liu Bo's address with her left hand, folded it and held it in her palm, then quickly went downstairs holding the red robe.

Seeing that Prince An and Princess July had not left yet, Lin Luoling let out a light breath and returned to normal pace.

After going downstairs, because she was going to slip the note into Prince An's hand, Lin Luoling's heart was beating non-stop for some reason. Until then, she did not realize that what she had just taken up was the red robe.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her strangely, Lin Luoling was a little confused.

Princess July stepped forward and said, "Sister Lin, there is no need to hide the red robe. This princess will not compete with Jiang Chi for it."

Lin Luoling suddenly realized and said with a stiff smile, "That's good!" He put the red robe back on the table awkwardly.

It just so happened that the shopkeeper had already packed the new robes and skirts chosen by Prince An and Princess July, and handed them to the guards beside Prince An with both hands.

Princess July took out a large golden bead from her purse and asked the shopkeeper, "Is it enough?"

The shopkeeper replied embarrassedly, "How can I use so much?" He did not dare to take it for a moment, so he bowed his head and lowered his head to the side.

Princess July said, "It's okay. Just consider it as yours. Next time I come, I won't have to give you any money."

Lin Luoling said, "It's agreed that I will give it to Princess July, so there is no need for the Princess to give you money."

"How can that be possible?" Princess July shook her head and said, "You are my lifesaver. Besides, I never owe money for anything I buy."

Seeing that he could not persuade Princess July, Lin Luoling looked at Prince An.

Prince An and Jiang Chi seemed to hit it off right away. At this moment, they were sitting in chairs, drinking tea and chatting about poetry and songs.

Seeing Lin Luoling looking at him, Prince An chuckled, and then saw Lin Luoling clench his right hand into a fist.

Prince An blinked his peach blossom eyes that were like spring water, and walked forward with understanding, deliberately blocking Lin Luoling's right hand, and said to Princess July:

"Since your sister Lin wants to give you a new dress, why bother to refuse her? Just accept it happily. Next time you see something unusual, you can give it to her."

At this point, a note was stuffed into Prince An's palm. He paused, held the note tightly, and continued:

"Just buy it and give it to her. You'll be staying in Beijing Xuzhou for another three to five months anyway, and you're not in a hurry to leave. Are you still worried that you won't have the chance to meet again?"

Upon hearing this, Princess July took back the golden bead, thanked Lin Luoling, and turned to Jiang Chi and said:

"Since you have come to Jingxuzhou, if you are not in a hurry to leave, why don't you come to Prince An's Mansion and compete with me in pitching pots?"

Jiang Chi put down the teacup, fanned himself and said indifferently, "Okay, but if you lose, don't cry and act like a scoundrel."

"Humph! We don't know who will lose yet. If you lose, don't accuse me of cheating."

The two of them exchanged a fierce verbal battle, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Lin Yuru had no choice but to pull Jiang Chi along and said to the shopkeeper, "Send the selected new skirt and gown to the Lin residence and give them to Madam Qi."

The shopkeeper should be.

Lin Yuru bowed to Prince An and Princess July and said apologetically:

"Your Highness Prince An and Princess July, please take a look to see if there is anything else you like. It's not dark yet, so let's go to the Luo River first."

No one argued with Princess July, and it happened that Prince An kept coughing, so Princess July supported Prince An and claimed that she also wanted to go back to Prince An's mansion.

Before leaving, Princess July said to the shopkeeper, "If new goods are available, regardless of color or style, please send someone to inform Prince An's Mansion."

The shopkeeper bowed and responded, then escorted them out of Yunshangfang.

Princess July got on the horse and when she looked back, she saw Jiang Chi trying to get on the carriage. She couldn't help but sneered, "A man like you is actually riding in a carriage?"

Jiang Chi turned around and glared at Princess July. "I want to ride in a carriage. What do you care?"

When Princess July heard this, her lively little deer eyes blinked, as if she had discovered a great secret, and she exclaimed, "Don't you know how to ride a horse?"

Jiang Chi responded without a word, got into the carriage, covered his face with the fan, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Even after the carriage had traveled a long way, Princess July's hearty laughter could still be heard.

Lin Luoling glanced at Jiang Chi secretly, and seeing that Jiang Chi's ears were red, she had no choice but to pull Lin Yuru's sleeve.

Lin Yuru sighed softly. Seeing Jiang Chi's appearance, it would be boring to go to Luohe, so she went back home.

Jiang Chi didn't say a word along the way, and Lin Yuru and Lin Luoling didn't want to chat nearby, so the carriage fell into incomparable silence.

Lin Luoling thought that when they returned to the Lin Mansion, Jiang Chi would definitely clamor to learn how to ride a horse.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chi got off the carriage and before he entered the mansion, he saw Jiang Chi's servant running up to him, holding a fishing net and shouting, "Sir, are you going to fish?"

Jiang Chi closed his fan, his brows lit up with joy, and he pulled his attendants straight to the Bi Bo Lake in the Lin Mansion.

Seeing Jiang Chi running away, Lin Luoling asked in confusion: "It's really strange, he was mad at Princess July, so he didn't want to go riding?"

Lin Yuru sighed, "Your uncle-in-law died in the battlefield, and his horse was taken back to Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion by the deputy general. The horse was human-like after all, and refused to eat or drink, and starved to death.

During that period, Jiang Chi looked at the horse every day. He buried the horse with his own hands and sent the saddle to me.

After that, Jiang Chi never rode a horse again."

At this point, Lin Yuru choked up with sobs, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes looked into the distance, as if she was recalling old memories.

Lin Luoling was afraid that Lin Yuru would be sad, so she changed the conversation and started chatting about some interesting things.

However, Lin Yuru could no longer muster interest. She claimed that she was tired and wanted to go back for a rest. She also refused to let Lin Luoling see her off.

The two of them walked separately, and Lin Luoling went towards He Jinchun's yard. When they reached Bi Bo Lake, they suddenly saw Jiang Chi and his attendants catching two koi with a fishing net. They were talking and laughing while discussing whether to roast them and eat them.

Seeing Lin Luoling coming over, Jiang Chi dropped his fishing net, pulled Lin Luoling aside, and asked mysteriously in a low voice: "What did you put into the hands of His Royal Highness Prince An just now at Yunshangfang?"

Hearing this, Lin Luoling was startled and stunned for a moment, and said in panic: "Young Master must have seen it wrong. How could I possibly put something into the hands of His Royal Highness Prince An?"

Jiang Chi made a "tsk" sound, and seeing that Lin Luoling was unwilling to speak, he reminded her:

"The first prince, Prince Jin, and the second prince, Prince Rui, both have no fiefs, only Prince An has been granted the fief of Jingxuzhou.

Now that he had obtained the fief, he had no connection with the throne anymore. However, Xuzhou was a golden land. Even though Prince Jin and Prince Rui knew that Prince An was weak and had been ill for a long time, they still coveted his fief.

If you are smart, you should avoid him."

"Your Highness is right, but Prince An and I have only met twice, and today was just a coincidence. I have never stuffed anything into his hands. Your Highness must have made a mistake!"

After saying that, Lin Luoling quickly walked away towards He Jinchun's yard, her heart pounding and her palms soaked with sweat.

Jiang Chi stroked his chin, staring deeply at Lin Luoling's back, and muttered, "I saw it clearly. You stuffed paper into Prince An's pocket."

"Prince, what did you say?" The servant squatting on the ground turned his head and asked.

Jiang Chi chuckled and said, "Nothing, I just invited her to eat grilled fish with me, but she said she didn't like it and left.

Let's go, let's ignore her and find a secluded place to grill some fish."

Lin Luoling arrived at He Jinchun's yard and heard from the maid in the yard that her mother had gone out for something and was not at home. Lin Luoling had no choice but to return to her boudoir and let Biyou take a look at the painting and find out where it was.

At this moment, Hualian, who came to serve tea, frowned at the painting, and first made a "hiss" sound, and then said, "I know where this is!"
