Beisheng and Xiao Yi chatted until the afternoon before they came out of Jinyuan Restaurant, got on the carriage and returned to the inn with Yan Qing and Lu Zhu.

It was getting late, and Chang Lin was worried that he wouldn't be able to find anyone, so he hurried back all the way.

In early autumn, Baoding has fallen leaves in full bloom, and even the birds are missing.

The grand inn was full of people inside and outside, especially the large carriage with bright yellow curtains that attracted countless people to watch.

The prince Xiao Xun, who had been traveling for a month, lowered his eyebrows and played with the jade in his hand. Chang Lin and several brothers in the guard stood in front of Xiao Xun with their heads bowed.

Xiao Xun said: "So, you don't know where the second girl has gone?"

Chang Lin and others did not dare to speak. What needed to be explained had already been explained to the Crown Prince, and what could not be said was kept in their stomachs.

The second girl indeed disappeared in the morning, along with the people around her, Yan Qing and Lu Zhu.

The guards led by Chang Lin were the people assigned by Duke An to protect Beisheng. Beisheng did not reject them at first and followed Beisheng's carriage all the way.

Bei Sheng changed his attitude towards them when he learned that he was on the list for selecting the crown princess and the Duke of Guo sent a letter urging him to return to Beijing 800 miles away.

Beisheng stalled for time and was not even willing to tell where he was going, and even left secretly.

Yesterday, we agreed to leave for Beijing today. In the morning, Chang Lin found that Beisheng's luggage was still there, but the person was missing.

When Xiao Xun saw that no one answered, he asked again: "Miss Xu, won't you be allowed to follow me wherever I go?"

Chang Lin raised his head and said quickly: "Returning to His Royal Highness, we girls must have come to Bao Bao to discuss business. The people we met were all local businessmen. It's not easy to take so many of us with us. We all listened to the second girl when we were outside. She doesn’t say where she is going when she is told to do something, so it is not easy for us to ask.”

"That's it!" Xiao Xun put away Yujue. He had been waiting for two months. He didn't miss this moment. There was no need to embarrass several servants.

It was getting dusk outside, and if Miss Xu Er hadn't run away, it would be time to come back.

When Beisheng's carriage arrived at the Hongwei Inn, it was blocked by a huge crowd. He raised the curtains and looked for a while but didn't see what everyone was watching.

Yan Qing jumped out of the car, asked the coachman to drive the carriage around and through the back door, and went down to inquire.

Yan Qing did not squeeze into the crowd, but only vaguely glimpsed the large carriage with bright yellow curtains and the rows of armored heads in the courtyard of the grand inn through the gaps of countless heads, and then he knew what was going on. .

His heart suddenly stood on end with terror, and he ran after Bei Sheng's carriage.

However, it was still a step too late. The carriage had just stopped in the backyard. When Bei Sheng got off the carriage, he looked up and saw Xiao Xun standing in the courtyard.

Wearing a withered green robe, the dragon-shaped jade pendant from the past was hanging on the brown belt. With his hands behind his back, his long jade body stood in the center of the courtyard.

His eyebrows were like stars, and he smiled faintly at Bei Sheng.

And Bei Sheng's head exploded. He was secretly shocked and filled with fear. He was stunned for a while before slowly walking towards Xiao Xun.

He knelt down to salute and whispered: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite."

Xiao Xun stretched out his hand to help the person in front of him up. The moment his hand touched her, Bei Sheng's hands tightened slightly like a spasm, and he couldn't help but take half a step back.

Xiao Xun did not expect Beisheng to be so restrained. At least in his opinion, they were friends of life and death.

He took back his outstretched hand and held it half-clasped behind his back.

He suppressed his smile and looked at her before saying, "It seems that my arrival has frightened the second girl."

Bei Sheng lowered his eyes and whispered: "The Crown Prince is so majestic that no one is surprised." Xiao Xun has heard many compliments and flattery. He used to feel happy when he heard them, but since he was assassinated and almost lost his life, He would never believe it again.

If he was really majestic, how could others dare to hurt him?

How is the prince? So what about the emperor? They are just poor people standing at the top, roasted by the flames of power and responsibility.

Xiao Xun said: "I waited for you in the capital for a long time, so I came here looking for you. I thought I would be happy to see you along the way, but now I feel like I came here in the wrong way."

Bei Sheng then raised his head and said, "I planned to leave for Beijing today, but something happened and I was delayed, so I thought I would go back tomorrow."

Xiao Xun was overjoyed and asked: "So you are willing to participate in the selection of the crown princess?"

Beisheng was stunned and didn't dare to speak. Is this something she can decide whether she wants to or not?

She used Zhao Shu and Lang Zhuo, and also told her father that she had no interest in the prince, but she could not stop her name from being selected for today's selection list.

Now if she says she doesn't want to, will the prince let her go and leave?

And today, Xiao Yi said that he would write to Concubine Zhao and ask Concubine Zhao to take some time to delete her from the list.

Who would have thought that before Xiao Yi's pen touched the paper, the prince would be chasing him.

Bei Sheng felt that he had become despicable by avoiding entering the palace. He could take advantage of anyone and do anything.

She hated herself like this, but she had to use every possibility to exchange for a chance for her and Jin Huai to survive.

Bei Sheng didn't say anything, so Xiao Xun knew what she was thinking, and smiled, "The days are long, and when the girls enter the palace, they have to be taught by the eldest princess. They learn court etiquette, chess, calligraphy, painting, and female celebrities. Who will be decided in the end?" She is my princess, and she will probably be gone by the end of the year."

"You entered the palace later than others and missed etiquette learning. It may not be you in the end. When you enter the palace, just see the world without any burden. You save my life, and you and I will get along as good friends."

Bei Sheng stared at him blankly, still saying nothing.

This comfort did not make Bei Sheng much relieved. She knew better than anyone else what it meant to participate in the selection of the crown princess.

Xiao Xun bowed slightly and asked softly: "Can you have dinner with me now?"

Beisheng nodded.

Xiao Xun's people had already prepared food at the inn, but it was extremely simple with two vegetarian dishes and a small half bowl of rice, without any fishy taste.

This is how Beisheng ate this way. The best meal she had was the one Zhang Zheng invited her to have this morning. She didn't expect it to be so easy for a prince.

The prince sat down first, looked at the mediocre food, pursed his lips slightly, and said: "Along the way, there are still people who are hungry on the road. The reason why I can eat these now is because I am the prince and have rights. Second girl, please don’t blame me for not bringing out better dishes to entertain you.”

Beisheng sat under Xiao Xun, his eyes full of respect for a moment, and said: "The prince thinks about the people. Beisheng is happy that Dajing has a prince like His Highness, how dare he dislike it?"

Xiao Xun was still in high spirits when he saw Bei Sheng just now. When he talked about the suffering of the people, his face showed a tired look.

Xiao Xun has been pampered and pampered all these years, but Xiao Xun only has a dignified character. He doesn't understand the sufferings of the world.

It was only when he was sent to Runing by Beisheng to recuperate after being injured in Zhengyue that he finally understood what the people needed and what he could do for them.

He urged his mother to choose a concubine for him, not because he wanted to indulge in love, but because in addition to finding a virtuous wife, he also had a solid backer.

So he is optimistic about Beisheng.

However, King Xiang was interested in the goddess Wu Meng.
