My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"Who are you?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the palace maid in front of him, his face full of doubt.

Yes, the palace maid in front of me looks somewhat unfamiliar.

He doesn't seem to have seen him before.

"Lord Prince Hui!"

The palace maid bowed to Jiang Xiaobai: "This servant is the little princess's personal maid!"

"A little princess?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly, looking somewhat surprised.

"Yes, the little princess wishes to invite Prince Jiang to come and have a chat."

The palace maid looked at Jiang Xiaobai, paused, and said, "Also, there happens to be a capable person who would like to meet you!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression flashed with surprise.

It's one thing for the little princess to invite him, but there are other people behind her who want to see him?

And he's a capable person?

"noob!"

Li Bingzhang then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Since it's the little princess who invited you, why don't you go?"

"Getting to know more people is never a bad thing!"

As he spoke, Li Bingzhang glanced at the palace maid, a hint of doubt on his face.

Clearly, he was also curious about who this capable person the palace maid was talking about could be.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing Li Bingzhang's words, Jiang Xiaobai nodded slightly and looked at the palace maid, saying, "Then... please lead the way, young lady!"

"Yes, Your Highness, please!"

As the palace maid spoke, a hint of surprise and delight appeared on her face.

After speaking, he immediately led the way.

After reading it, Jiang Xiaobai cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Li Bingzhang and followed him.

Tang Ningshuang also glanced at Li Bingzhang and nodded, then followed suit.

That's right, her current mission is to protect Jiang Xiaobai.

Although the palace is certainly safe, anything can happen, so she has to go wherever she goes.

After watching the two leave, Li Bingzhang did not linger and turned to walk out of the palace.

Here.

Jiang Xiaobai followed the palace maid, his expression slightly thoughtful.

That's right, the eldest princess has always been using Xiao Zijin's name to contact him!

Now that he's going to see the little princess, I wonder if the eldest princess will get anxious?

Or rather...

Could this have been the eldest princess's idea all along?

If that's the case, then how did the eldest princess manage to convince the youngest princess to stop acting?!

Furthermore, if it's acting, does he have to act along?

With this thought in mind, the group gradually arrived at a garden.

The place has an antique feel, and the surrounding flowers and trees are exquisitely maintained.

The buildings inside are scattered and the pavilions are connected, making this place look very impressive.

The palace maid led the two forward until they arrived at a huge pavilion.

"Young Master Jiang, the little princess is inside!"

The palace maid stopped and spoke softly.

"oh!"

As Jiang Xiaobai responded, he looked up and glanced inside.

Sure enough, I saw several people inside.

Xiao Zijin was sitting in the pavilion, and Jiang Xiaobai saw another figure next to her.

This person was none other than the eldest princess.

Indeed, the princess was still wearing a bamboo hat, obscuring her face.

But Jiang Xiaobai still managed to figure it out from his figure and his demeanor.

Sure enough, this woman was there too.

Besides these, there were three other people inside the pavilion.

Two men and one woman, all of whom looked to be young.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled slightly, glancing at the palace maid beside him, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions.

Soon, the palace maid led him and Tang Ningshuang into the pavilion.

The people inside the pavilion all turned their gazes in that direction.

"Huh!"

When Xiao Zijing saw Jiang Xiaobai, her eyes lit up immediately: "Jiang Xiaobai, you're here!"

As she spoke, Xiao Zijin stood up abruptly, her brows furrowed with joy.

"Greetings, little princess!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Xiao Zijin and nodded slightly, then asked, "May I ask what brings the young princess here?"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai glanced at the princess and the three young men and women with a puzzled look.

He was curious about who this so-called capable person was.

"Oh……"

Just as Xiao Zijing was about to speak, one of the young men, holding a folding fan, stepped forward and said, "It is I, the young master, who wishes to see you!"

As he spoke, the young man looked at Jiang Xiaobai with a smile and said, "My name is Fang Tong!"

"Fang Tong..."

Jiang Xiaobai's gaze fell on the young man, his face filled with doubt.

That's right, this was the first time he had ever heard of this name.

Is this the capable person the palace maids were talking about?

"You don't recognize me?"

The young man was taken aback, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with some surprise: "That shouldn't be the case!"

"What, should I know you?"

Jiang Xiaobai was also taken aback and flipped through his memories.

It is certain that this person... was never seen by the previous incarnation.

The young man's brows furrowed immediately.

The man and woman next to them couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

"Young Master Fang, it seems... you've been presumptuous!"

"Yes, Young Master Jiang has absolutely no idea who you are, haha!"

what?

Hearing their conversation, Jiang Xiaobai became even more puzzled and looked at Fang Tong again.

Is this person very famous?

"Young Master Jiang, listen carefully!"

Fang Tong was somewhat embarrassed. After clearing his throat, he held up a folding fan and said, "My name is Fang Tong!"

"They are from the Green Robe Society, disciples of Minister Shen!"

Grand Secretary Shen?

Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a moment, then looked at Fang Tong and said, "I've never heard of it either!"

He did know about the Qingshan Society's elder.

Within the Green Robe Society, he should be considered the highest-ranking member.

But Grand Secretary Shen, he really had never heard of him!

After all, he had only recently joined the Green Robe Society, and many people had never seen or interacted with him.

However, it is indeed remarkable that this person is a disciple of the Grand Secretary.

He's a capable person!

"you……"

Fang Tong was annoyed by Jiang Xiaobai's answer, but then he suddenly remembered something and snorted, "That's right!"

"You previously hung four couplets in the Qinglou Pavilion, and I have already provided the matching couplets!"

"And it had already been entrusted to someone to hang it inside the Qinglou!"

At this point, Fang Tong looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "Didn't you go check it out?"

"without!"

As Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, something suddenly occurred to him.

At that time, the eldest princess sent someone to the prime minister's residence to issue an oral decree, inviting Li Bingzhang and Li Zhiwei to visit the Orchid Pavilion Tower, and also to have him come and take a look.

It was indeed mentioned that the couplet for the Qinglou Pavilion was already matched by someone.

You can see it once you go to Lanting Tower.

But when he went there and took the assessment, he didn't think about it anymore.

Now that so much time has passed, it's long been forgotten.

"You...you..."

Seeing Jiang Xiaobai's reaction, Fang Tong was completely exasperated, his expression filled with anxiety as he said, "How could you not go and see?!"

"Aren't you curious about how my matching couplet turns out?"

"this……"

Jiang Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and said, "Not curious at all..."
