  A warm and comfortable carriage filled with joy and warmth.

  This breakfast, Xia Ting occasionally added dishes to the bowl of Bai Lijian, doing these things all looked very natural, not a bit of shyness and unfamiliarity when first interacting with others.

  Bai Li Rong Jin, from initial astonishment to eventual adaptation, has now learned to pick dishes for her. He finds that when he sees her smile and naturally eat the food he picks for her, his heart always feels a warm sensation. It's as if they were originally meant to be as intimate as they are now.

  After a meal of breakfast, Baili Yongjin ate extremely full. These dishes were ones he had never seen before but were extremely delicious.

  Not greasy, sweet and fragrant, delicious. Each dish is unforgettable.

  After eating a bowl of fragrant and savory vegetable fried rice, four crystal shrimp dumplings, two red bean glutinous rice cakes, and drinking a bowl of fresh and sweet carp soup, Xia Tingjing already felt full. She gently put down the chopsticks in her hand, turned her head to look at Bai Lirongjin "Rongjin, are you full? Do you want to eat some more?"

  Several of these dishes are quite suitable for his physical condition, and eating more is good.

  Baili Rongjin smiled faintly and shook his head, he didn't eat much, but he was already full. On the other hand, her appetite made him feel astonished again. In his impression, women always ate very little, just a small bowl of porridge with a few bites of dishes, and that's it for one meal.

  Unlike his daughter, she doesn't eat that much. But he also doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, if you like to eat, you should just go ahead and eat, only then can people be straightforward. She is unpretentious in front of him, whatever she is, she is, not like other women who always have a weak and delicate demeanor, even her gait seems to be measured by a ruler.

  Seeing the other person shake their head, Xia Ting also didn't force it and started putting the plates, bowls, and chopsticks into the food box, ready to be taken away by Wan Yu when she arrived.

  Baili Rongjin smiled as she watched her movements, which were merely picking up bowls and chopsticks, but the way she did it was exceptionally delightful.

  After finishing this breakfast, it was already past half a time. Wan Yu and Qing Yu also walked back one after the other.

  Baili Rongjin reached out to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind Xia Lian's ear, smiling softly as he said "Lian'er, I should be going. If anything comes up, just write me a letter." This was the first time he had spoken her name aloud, and the two syllables rolled off his tongue with no hint of awkwardness or hesitation, as if he had been calling her that all along.

  Although Xia Ting was slightly surprised by his intimate actions, she thought about it and felt that it was nothing. She was going to marry him soon, so having him tidy up her hair wasn't a big deal.

  He nodded and said "Be careful on your way, don't forget to have breakfast tomorrow."

  Baili Rongjin revealed a faint smile and placed the wooden box containing the jade hairpin in her hand, nodding slightly as she said "I will."

  After getting the guarantee, Xia Ting also felt at ease. With a gentle hand, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and got off with the support of Wan Yu.

  Qing Yu also nimbly jumped onto the horse carriage, grasped the whip and skillfully turned the carriage around. As the sound of "ka da" grew louder, the horse carriage gradually disappeared into the distance.

  Xia Ting brought Wan Yu, who was carrying a food box, into the side door of the Xia Manor. He also gave the gatekeeper a few taels of silver as a reward and instructed him not to leak out what had happened.

  The young servant who had received a generous reward nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would never breathe a word about it.

  As she walked along the path back to Liyi Yard, Xia Ting asked casually, "Has Mother and Brother had their meal?"

  Wan Yu then softly said to Xia Ting, "It's been used, miss. However, the master just arrived and had lunch with the madam and young master together."

  Xia Ting furrowed her brow, this cheap father, since she was chosen by the Queen to enter the palace as a concubine, her mother had been cold towards him, and even her younger brother didn't bother with him.

  But he still went to the Pear Garden every day, saying all sorts of good things. He said that he was doing it out of necessity, after all, once the imperial edict came down, how could he dare to disobey and so on.

  It sounds even better than singing, what can't be helped. His helplessness is to replace the legitimate daughter with a concubine daughter to participate in the selection? In the end, it's just that she didn't take her seriously and thought that sacrificing this concubine daughter to protect his legitimate daughter was a very cost-effective deal. After all, both daughters are going to be concubines anyway, so of course, they would let the one with lower status go. This way, in the future, he can still arrange for his legitimate daughter to marry into another official's family and exchange for a good marriage for him.

  Does she really think she doesn't know what he's up to? Isn't it just that he wants to use Rong Jin's power to rise, after all, still calculating to take advantage of her.

  As soon as the imperial decree arrived, she changed from a concubine to a formal wife, and he came even more frequently. He even stayed overnight in the pear garden for several nights in a row, and what he said to her mother this time was even more convincing, saying that she had truly benefited from misfortune and would soon have the noble status of princess consort. There was no need to go and be someone's concubine anymore, and he asked his mother-in-law to forgive him just this once, wasn't the current result unexpectedly good? He stuck to her mother every day, speaking sweet words, with a very clingy and annoying appearance.

  She was so angry that she almost slapped her, what a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for her previous acquaintance with the person and treating his pulse, could she have escaped the fate of being a concubine to become the legitimate wife? This also depends on whether the other party is a gentleman, otherwise she wouldn't be able to resolve this matter so quickly.

  She didn't believe that Old Lady Xia and Li would replace her with Xia Lian to participate in the election. He didn't know, or maybe he knew but turned a blind eye. Now she even has the nerve to come to Liyuan to take credit.

  Wanting to get promoted and rich isn't that easy. She wouldn't let this cheap father take advantage of the situation and rise to power, no way.

  All the way back to Liyuan, Xia Ting walked into the side hall and saw her mother and brother sitting quietly there, but did not see the figure of her cheap father, presumably he had already returned first.

  Summer listened to the sound of footsteps quietly moving, and slowly walked past. Mother was intently embroidering flowers, while younger brother sat aside cracking melon seeds non-stop.

  Hearing footsteps, Madame Shui looked up and saw her daughter returning. She hastily put down the embroidery and beckoned her daughter to sit beside her.

  Xia Zi Yun also moved a stool over and sat down beside Xia Ting Ning.

  "Qinger, where are you going? Have you had breakfast?"

  Xia Ting put down the wooden box she had been holding in her hand, smiled and said "Mother, don't worry, I've already had breakfast. I just went out to get something."

  "What's this?"

  Xia Zi Yun's face was also filled with curiosity, she stretched out her hand to pull the wooden box, looking left and right. Not seeing anything unusual, she then pushed open the lid of the box.

  Only to see a burst of blue light coming out from inside, making him open his small mouth in surprise. With a look of astonishment, he stared at the transparent blue jewelry inside the box.

  Shui's family was also shocked by these accessories, and he took a deep breath and said, "Ning Er, where did this come from?" These things are obviously not ordinary goods, but how did they end up in his daughter's hands.

  Xia Ting smiled faintly and shook her right hand slightly, the dazzling jade bangle on it sparkling as she asked, "Was it a gift from him?"

  He? Shui Shi was initially bewildered, but immediately reacted and grabbed his daughter's words "Is it Jing Wang's prince?"

  Xia Ting nodded heavily and gave a definite answer to Shui Shi.

  The Shui family was taken aback, but immediately smiled again. I really didn't expect that the quiet king's son would treat Ning'er like this, not only agreeing to Ning'er's request, but also sending such a valuable piece of jewelry over.

  He couldn't help but look at Xia Ting's gentle smile with a mix of emotions, thinking that if she were to marry into such a family, she would likely live a good life.

  Xia Ting stretched out her delicate white jade hand and gently stroked the accessories in the wooden box that were flashing with a faint blue light, and she couldn't help but feel a slight joy in her heart.
