The servants of the Ming family couldn't refuse them, so they led Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince around the mansion.

It was already late February, and the temperature in Anzhou was much warmer than in the capital. The apricot blossoms in the Mingfu were in full bloom.

"Hey, isn't that an apricot grove over there? The flowers are blooming so beautifully!" Ying Yufu pointed to an apricot grove to her left.

The servant curled his lip, thinking that this foreign merchant and his concubines were truly ignorant; they were nothing more than a small apricot grove.

"Idiot! Idiot!" Suddenly, the parrot perched on Ying Yufu's shoulder cursed.

It stared at the servant, one wing on its hip and the other pointing at him, the parrot posing like a teapot, its eyes filled with anger.

The servants of the Ming family were also taken aback, and then their faces showed shame and anger.

That parrot actually insulted him!

His face turned ashen; he wanted to curse but was unwilling to argue with a bird.

However, since the two people in front of him were brought by the Crown Prince of Qinjiang, he couldn't cause them any trouble.

Ying Yufu naturally noticed the unfriendly look the servants from the Ming Mansion had given her and the Crown Prince. For a moment, she suppressed a laugh and pinched Xiao Dian's wings.

"Xiao Dian, don't tell the truth too often, it'll annoy people." Her tone was full of laughter.

The servant of the magistrate initially relaxed, but when he realized the meaning behind Ying Yufu's words, his face immediately turned green again.

Xiao Dian transmitted a message to Ying Yufu's mind: "Host, I just checked, and there are indeed energy fluctuations from nano-crystals in this Ming Mansion, right beneath the row of houses behind the apricot grove."

Ying Yufu looked up at the apricot grove. The apricot grove was very large and dense. Looking from this angle, she could not see the specific appearance behind the apricot grove, but could only vaguely see the existence of houses and courtyards.

"Let's go for a walk in the apricot grove. You wait for us here," Ying Yufu said to the servants of the Ming family.

The servant looked hesitant. If a stranger wandered around the mansion and something happened, he would be finished.

But then he saw the two people in front of him quietly holding hands.

The merchant's fingers gently scratched the girl's palm.

A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the servants of the Mingfu. Sure enough, these uncouth foreigners, seeing the beauty of this apricot grove, wanted to do something improper there.

"Gentlemen, please forgive my reminder, but noble people from the manor often appear in this apricot grove. You may wander around the apricot grove, but you must not go too far or too deep, and you must be careful of any disturbances."

The Crown Prince looked at him and said, "Don't worry, we know. After all, we are here as guests with the Prince of Qinjiang."

Upon hearing the name of the Prince of Qinjiang, the servants indeed stopped bothering them and stepped aside to wait.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince exchanged a glance, then held hands and headed towards the apricot grove.

The air was filled with the fragrance of apricot blossoms, and a bright white moon shone in the sky. The servants of the Ming Mansion stared at the backs of the two figures and were even vaguely struck by how handsome they were.

In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared into the apricot grove.

The servants of the magistrate averted their gaze.

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince walked along the path in the apricot grove for a while, and suddenly discovered a small pavilion ahead.

At that moment, two young men were sitting in the pavilion.

Ying Yufu glanced over and immediately recognized the two men. The one in white was slightly older, around twenty years old, while the one in black was only sixteen or seventeen.

The conversation between the two reached her ears clearly.

Then the young man in black asked, "Brother, why do you think the Prince of Qinjiang would come to Anzhou?"

"It's hard to say, but Father has his own plans. His banquet for the Prince of Qinjiang today should be a way to test him."

The young man in white said.

The young man in black said, "I just find it a bit strange. Lord Meng had just returned to the capital when the Prince of Qinjiang appeared in Anzhou City."

The young man in white said, "Whatever his purpose is, it's none of our business."

The young man in black nodded: "Yes, perhaps I was too nervous. After all, someone from the master has already informed us that we no longer need to refine the longevity pill."

The white-robed youth glanced at the black-robed boy opposite him and said, "Little brother, you are indeed too nervous. The master no longer needs us to refine longevity pills because he has found the one who can truly grant him immortality. From now on, do not mention longevity pills again."

The boy in black nodded. "Brother, I'm really curious about what Princess Anguo looks like. She has such extraordinary abilities."
