Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Yuan Jingchen was absent-minded, looking back every few steps.

The steward walked ahead with a smile, "Young Master Yuan, this way please."

Yuan Jingchen followed the steward all the way to Yimei Courtyard. He looked around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yimei Courtyard is a bit far, but it is quiet, elegant, and has a unique charm.

It seems that the Third Prince has not mistreated his cousin.

Once inside, Yuan Jingchen looked at the servants, each doing their work in an orderly fashion, and was once again deeply moved.

Back in the Yuan family, my cousin only had one maid, Shiliu, and her life was quite meager. Now that she's the Third Prince's woman, she has quite a few servants attending to her.

The Third Prince's feelings were even more complicated.

Bai Mei, who had been lying listlessly on the couch, perked up as soon as she heard that Yuan Jingchen had arrived.

"Pomegranate, hurry up, help me comb my hair and put that red plum blossom headdress on me."

Yu Zhu and Fu Ling exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat surprised.

Concubine Bai was very fond of her cousin, and even wanted to wear her favorite red plum blossom headdress.

Shiliu was also overjoyed and happily dressed up Bai Mei.

Polygonatum odoratum and Poria cocos were even more surprised, wondering why pomegranate was also so excited.

Yuan Jingchen waited in the living room for about the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn before Bai Mei finally arrived, accompanied by four maids.

"Cousin!" Bai Mei's voice was melodious and gentle.

When Yuan Jingchen looked up, he saw Bai Mei wearing a fine coral red jacket, with the collar and front trimmed with soft, white mink fur.

On her head, neck, and ears, she wore a set of ruby ​​jewelry in the shape of red plum blossoms, which made her fair and delicate face even more exquisite and beautiful.

A hint of amazement flashed in Yuan Jingchen's eyes.

My cousin is so beautiful and charming.

In the past, my cousin was plain and simple in the Yuan family, like a little white flower blooming in the snow. But now, she is a flamboyant red plum blossom.

Wealth and status do indeed nourish people.

Yuan Jingchen's eyes darkened, and for the first time, a deep sense of regret welled up in his heart. His cousin should have been his.

Now, however, he has handed it over to someone else.

"Cousin." Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Yuan Jingchen stood up.

Bai Mei's eyes were glued to Yuan Jingchen. After not seeing her cousin for two days, she felt as if she had been in another world. For a moment, she couldn't help but tear up.

"My cousin came to visit Mei'er, and Mei'er is very happy. How is my cousin?"

Yuan Jingchen said, "I am doing well. My cousin, are you adjusting well to life in His Highness's residence?"

He asked this question.

Bai Mei's eyes reddened even more, and she almost shed tears. "I'm used to it. The Third Prince treats Mei'er very well. My cousin saw it too. The Third Prince even gave Mei'er two maids."

Yuan Jingchen nodded.

Bai Mei turned around and said to the four maids behind her, "Shi Liu, stay. You may all leave. My cousin and I have something to discuss."

Upon hearing this, Fuling and Yuzhu exchanged a glance. Although they felt it was inappropriate, they still withdrew.

After a slight hesitation, Haitang followed Yuzhu and Fuling and retreated.

The steward said with a smile, "Then this old servant will also take his leave."

There was hardly anyone around except for Shiliu. Bai Mei couldn't hold back her tears and excitedly threw herself into Yuan Jingchen's arms.

Yuan Jingchen was startled and instinctively looked around in a panic.

After confirming that no one was around, he calmed down, but for some unknown reason, he not only didn't push Bai Mei away, but also pulled her into his arms.

He buried his face in her neck and took a deep sniff: "Cousin, you smell so good."

This fragrance is only found in the finest perfumes.

Bai Mei's cheeks flushed red, but then, as if remembering something, she couldn't help but say angrily, "Cousin, if the Third Prince won't touch me, could it be that he's impotent?"
