At the end of the selection, an unknown person took first place in the meeting with Hua Kui.

This unknown person must have been sent by a big family not wanting to reveal his identity.

and Ning Xueqi followed closely behind. Along the way, the crown prince said that she wanted the two to stay calm and let the two of them go back first.

However, the moment he turned around, the crown prince went back to the Spring Flower Hall. Dongfang Qiming did not actually leave either.

Just as Rong Jiu had expected, the crown prince returned to the Spring Flower Hall and found the person who had the highest rank, wanting to trade with him.

With a beauty like her right in front of his eyes, how could it be taken away from him? He had been with a woman for five years already, it was about time for him to change his tastes.

The money was useless to the person who had won first. The crown prince's money could not move his heart at all. Afterwards, the crown prince directly used his identity to force him to give up the prize money to him.

The wager could be given away, so the Spring Flower Hall's bawd naturally admitted it. Furthermore, the crown prince was dressed in an extraordinary attire. Even if he didn't know his identity, the bawd wouldn't dare to offend him.

Dongfang Qiming brought Ning Xueqi outside to watch as he entered into the main Huan Huan's room.

"Qi, did you see that? This is the man you like. "

Ning Xueqi bit her lower lip and looked at Dongfang Qiming with reddened eyes, "It's all your fault. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state right now."

If it wasn't for them, she would have been the crown prince's man long ago.

"Dongfang Qiming, I hate you! You are the one who took away my most precious thing! "

She pounded Dongfang Qiming's chest, but Dongfang Qiming did not resist, and only allowed her to beat him up.

Yes, he knew, it was all his fault, but who knew how much he hurt.

Rong Jiu looked from afar and shook her head helplessly.

The crown prince was able to meet the Huan Huan, although he did not touch the crown prince, he was still distracted. The Huan Huan listened to Rong Jiu's words and welcomed him even more, making him unable to stop himself.

The Crown Prince was willing to accept her as his concubine.

Deep in the night, when the Crown Prince returned, Rong Jiu asked the Huan Huan about the progress. The Huan Huan was grateful to Rong Jiu, "He has already fallen for me.

Rong Jiu nodded her head, "Do not be impatient and be careful."

She believed that Ning Sangsang knew what kind of person she was.

"Yes, Huan Huan understands. Thank you Miss Rong." She was now a Huan Huan, and from today onwards, the name Ning Sangsang had nothing to do with her.

Rong Jiu nodded, and after saying a few words to the Huan Huan, he went back.

After returning to the Duke Palaces, Dongfang Qisu stood in the courtyard and waited.

"Why aren't you resting? It's already so late. " Rong Jiu asked.

"It's still too late for you. You just returned late at night. Is it dangerous?"

Rong Jiu was a little apologetic, but, "This is nothing to me, you should understand as well, I often come during the night."

Dongfang Qisu had nothing to say, the two of them went back inside the house to rest.

Dongfang Qiming came again, this time he probably wanted to stay for a long time. Instead of finding Dongfang Qisu, he found Rong Jiu, "Third sister, please take him in."

"She went to see you again?" Other than this, Rong Jiu could not think of anything else.

"Since she doesn't love me, I won't see her anymore." Dongfang Qiming still liked Ning Xueqi after all.

"You really don't want to marry her?" Rong Jiu asked Dongfang Qiming seriously.

Dongfang Qiming nodded his head, "Since you do not love, then there is no need to be together. If you do not love, then why do you need to do all this for nothing?"

"Then why didn't you tell her that?" Rong Jiu said, "She doesn't love you, and does not want to be together with you. Then, you can explain it to her clearly.

Dongfang Qiming had never been pampered by others, so such things could not be avoided. However, if Ning Xueqi was unwilling, even Dongfang Qiming was unwilling, who would force them?

"Third sister in law is right." Dongfang Qiming felt that Rong Jiu was right, and immediately informed him.

Rong Jiu sincerely hoped that this boy, Dongfang Qiming, would have a peaceful life. He didn't want him to get involved in too many things.

Dongfang Qisu still did not go to the imperial court as usual, there were ginseng in the imperial court, he was arrogant and did not put the emperor in his eyes, some officials even said that they were happy to see Dongfang Qisu appear in a brothel, chatting with a man.

It was one thing for a prince to appear in a brothel and be discovered by others, but to even have a conversation with a man was quite pleasurable. It was said that their relationship was not ordinary and was beyond the realm of men.

Say that the prince had the title of Long Yang, that everyone already had their own wangfei and children, say no, why was it like this for men? Could it be bisexuality?

In short, Dongfang Qisu's reputation had been tarnished.

The Emperor had sent someone to summon Dongfang Qisu, probably to teach him a little. Dongfang Qisu did not want to go, but Rong Jiu had to advise or be more gentle, if not, who knows what kind of obstacles those people would cause.

After Dongfang Qisu left, Dongfang Qiming hurried over, "Third sister, Third sister."

"What happened?" It seemed as if something big had happened to him.

"Xueqi was originally going to play with me, but Marquis Wan Ning didn't know how to know, so he locked her up. I was rejected outside the door, and heard that she was beaten up.

Rong Jiu was deep in thought. She knew that Ning Daoyuan could do anything, "Now that the Prince is not here, and you can't enter, how can I save him?"

"Third sister in law, I know that you have a lot of ways to save her."

He was a few years younger than Rong Jiu, and the person he trusted the most was Dongfang Qisu. Since Dongfang Qisu was not around, he could only rely on Rong Jiu.

Rong Jiu had a headache, "Let me think about it."

To her, letting Ning Xueqi get beaten up like this and gain a good memory didn't change the fact that Ning Daoyuan wanted to take advantage of her.

"Forget it, let's go and take a look together." Rong Jiu stood up, even though she was a stranger, she had no other choice.

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-Law."

As he was at a loss for what to do, Dongfang Qiming grabbed onto the lifesaving straw and finally found the breathing space, "Third sister, let's hurry up, otherwise Xueqi will be dead."

As expected, Marquis Wanning's Mansion were tightly shut, and people were not allowed to enter. There were also quite a few guards guarding the Inner Academy.

The guards were strong enough that not even the slightest movement could be heard.

"Are you sure she was beaten up? Could it be that you're imagining things? " Rong Jiu was still in the mood to tease Dongfang Qiming.

"Really, Third Sister, the maidservant beside Xueqi risked their lives to tell me."

Dongfang Qiming forcefully proved that what he said was true.

"Alright, alright, alright. Don't be nervous, I'm just teasing you." Rong Jiu pulled Dongfang Qiming and stood outside the Marquis Wanning's Mansion. Wait a moment, I'll go speak with the people from the house of the Marquis.

Rong Jiu went up to knock on the door, and the one who opened the door was the patriarch of the Hou clan, Uncle Ming.

"Come with me, I'll tell you."

Rong Jiu whispered a few sentences into Uncle Ming's ears, causing him to turn pale with fright, "Wait a moment, I'll go call the Marquis over."
