It was an exit usually used only by servants, and at this moment there was hardly any one guarding it, and even if there was anyone it was only a casual glance.

Cui Er was extremely nervous, fearing that she would run into someone she knew. If someone discovered that she had helped the lady escape from the mansion, the consequences would be disastrous.

The two of them walked cautiously towards the back door.

At this time, the servant beside Shen Yuming passed by, saw Cui'er, and asked: "Cui'er, are you going out so early?"

Cui'er's body suddenly stiffened, and her face became extremely ugly. Ye Qianyao's face also turned pale instantly, and she clenched her handkerchief nervously, fearing that she would be recognized by the servant.

"Yes, Madam has had a poor appetite recently and her complexion is indeed not very good."

Cui Er turned around and tried to force a smile: "I plan to go to West Street to buy some cakes she likes."

The servant did not seem to doubt Cui Er's words: "You are always so attentive, it really works hard for you."

There was a hint of sympathy in his tone. Everyone in the mansion knew that the lady's status was no longer as high as before, and staying with her to work was both hard and of little benefit.

Cui'er just forced a smile, and that smile looked more painful than crying.

After asking a few simple questions, the servant waved his hand and asked her to leave.

Cui'er felt relieved and quickened her pace towards the back door. Only when she was completely out of the back door did she finally feel relieved.

"We are out, ma'am."

Ye Qianyao also breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still looked unhappy.

When Cui Er asked her where she was going, she just said, "Don't follow me, I will be back in the evening."

Cui'er was a little hesitant, worried that the lady would do something inappropriate.

However, considering that my wife didn't have much money and the places she could go were limited, I finally chose to trust her.

"Madam, you must come back as soon as possible..." Cui'er prayed silently in her heart, watching Ye Qianyao go away.

Ye Qianyao walked quickly away from the Shen Mansion. After making sure that no one was following her, she took out a few taels of silver from her waist and hired a carriage to go to the boat party.

She wanted to go and see for herself who Shen Yuming was meeting.

On the other side, a gorgeous carriage was driving slowly in the capital.

Through the thin gauze curtain, one could vaguely see a woman of distinguished status sitting in the car - Baili Qin.

She leaned slightly on the soft seat, looking leisurely at the bustling street outside the window, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

She asked Concubine Zhuang for permission to go out on the pretext of watching a boat parade, not to choose a prince consort, but to meet Shen Yuming.

Although she is a princess, she cannot summon Shen Yuming casually because he is married. Knowing that Shen Yuming will attend the boat party, how can she miss this opportunity?

Only on the lake could she meet him.

"How long will it take to get there?" Baili Qin's lazy voice broke the silence in the carriage.

The maid whispered, "Princess, we are almost there. The lake is just ahead."

Baili Qin smiled slightly, feeling extremely happy thinking about meeting Shen Yuming soon.

"Hurry up, this princess can't wait to see that lake."

"Yes, Princess." The maid responded and signaled the coachman to speed up.

With a crack of whip, the carriage moved forward rapidly.

However, around a corner, another carriage came towards them.

The two carriages almost collided. The driver hurriedly pulled the reins to stop, frowning and shouting, "How are you driving?"

Ye Qianyao felt the carriage shaking violently and almost hit the wall of the carriage.

She heard the quarrel outside and drew aside the curtain to check what was going on.

Opposite was a carriage with gorgeous decorations and flowing gauze curtains, and an elegant woman could be vaguely seen in the carriage. Ye Qianyao was startled and guessed that this might be the eighth princess.

Realizing the difference in status, Ye Qianyao quickly lowered the curtain and returned to the car.

She knew how insignificant she was in front of the Eighth Princess.

At this moment, her hands were clenched into fists, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

The Eighth Princess seemed to sense her gaze, and after a faint glance, she asked the driver to continue moving forward.

Ye Qianyao's carriage started again only after the Eighth Princess's carriage had gone far away. She looked at the luxurious carriage going away, with deep emotions in her eyes.

At the boat party, many talented people have gathered, ready to recite poems and compose essays in the painted boats.

Baili Qin arrived at the lake early, but she did not get out of the car, but quietly waited for someone to come. Although there were many outstanding young people around, they failed to attract her attention.

Soon after, a man's figure came into view.

The maid immediately whispered to the Eighth Princess: "Master Shen is here."

Baili Qin's attention was instantly drawn over there, and she saw Shen Yuming, a tall man in a green robe, walking towards her.

The sunlight shining on him, reflecting the light of the lake, made him look particularly handsome.

Today, Baili Qin came to meet Shen Yuming.

When she thought about meeting the person she missed, her heart beat faster. She quickly told the maid beside her to go and inform Shen Yuming.

The maid took the order and walked briskly towards Shen Yuming, conveying the princess' message.

After hearing the news, Shen Yuming quickly scanned the surroundings and soon locked onto the gorgeous carriage not far away. It was obvious that the person in the carriage was extraordinary.

Noticing Shen Yuming's gaze, Baili Qin almost opened the car curtain, but considering that this meeting would not be easily known to others, she finally restrained herself.

Shen Yuming nodded slightly in her direction, and this small gesture made Baili Qin very excited.

After a while, the palace maid returned with Shen Yuming's reply - he would be waiting for the princess on the cruise ship.

Knowing that Shen Yuming was willing to meet her, Baili Qin was overjoyed, as if she saw a glimmer of hope. Could it be that Shen Yuming also had feelings for her?

Without any hesitation, Baili Qin immediately went to the agreed location.

"Take me on the boat," she ordered.

"Yes, princess."

Following the guidance of the palace maid, the carriage slowly drove to a quiet corner by the lake.

There were few people here, so it was a good place for them to be alone. Baili Qin got off the car, looked around, and then stepped into the cruise ship.

While waiting for Shen Yuming, she felt nervous and excited, and her cheeks flushed.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, Shen Yuming boarded the cruise ship.

Baili Qin looked up, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Lord Shen."

"Eighth Princess." Shen Yuming bowed respectfully.

"I came here specially to see you today."

There was a hint of shyness in Bailiqin's voice. This time she did not use a honorific title, but said "I" affectionately.

"I wonder what the princess wants to do for me?" Shen Yuming asked.

"I think……"

Baili Qin felt nervous, her palms were sweating, and she clenched her handkerchief tightly and said, "Thank you, Lord Shen, for saving me at the post station. Thank you very much."

Facing the slightly shy princess in front of him, Shen Yuming's eyes became deep and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Eighth Princess obviously fell in love with Shen Yuming.

As long as the time is right, he will become a royal consort. This seems to be fate, exactly the same as the experience of someone in his previous life.
