Jiang Ning limped out of her quarters one day and entered the Jiang family's second courtyard, just as the Emperor was selecting a concubine for Prince Yu.  Noble ladies from high-ranking families put in their best efforts to participate in the selection, but the flower fell on Jiang Ning, who was merely there to watch the spectacle.  Jiang Ning was confused.

Attendant No. 2 was full of confidence, "Rest assured, Your Highness! I will make proper arrangements!"

After waiting impatiently for the time to come, Li Jixian dressed up carefully.

He tried to look like an ordinary person so as not to be recognized.

Although he was infatuated with Jiang Ning's beauty and almost lost his sanity, he hadn't completely lost it and still cared about his Crown Prince's dignity.

After all, that was an inn, not the East Palace.

Arriving at Tea Delight Inn, he asked for the best room, and the waiter immediately led him to the second floor.

Li Jixian asked the waiter, "Is the person inside already here?"
