Thinking of how she helped him in the main hall last time, if he didn't go up and greet her, it would be too rude!
He walked forward and said politely, "Princess, what a coincidence. You're also here?"
Nalan Meng was also very polite, "Yes! I heard that the scenery in Lingering Fragrance Garden is very beautiful, so I wanted to come and take a look. I didn't expect to meet you here. "
As she spoke, she turned around and looked at the lake in front of her, her face full of disappointment.
Seeing that she was full of worries, Prince Xian couldn't help but ask, "Princess, do you have something on your mind?"
Nalan Meng sighed imperceptibly.
She looked at Prince Xian, "Your Highness, as a prince of a country, do you ever feel that you're not in control?"
Prince Xian's mouth curved slightly, "So what if I'm a prince? It's only on the surface, not even comparable to ordinary people. Ordinary people can still choose what they like, but we can't. "
"What we do, what friends we make, and even what wife we marry, we have to be restrained by all kinds of restrictions and have no freedom."
At this point, Prince Xian looked at Nalan Meng, "Actually, this prince is very envious of the princess. The princess is free, you can travel around, and you can also decide your own life. Could it be that the princess also has times when she's not in control?"
Nalan Meng didn't expect that the seemingly limitless Prince Xian also had such a life.
She said faintly, "It seems that the prince doesn't know that you and I are both people who have fallen to the end of the world. I look free, but in fact, I can't decide my own life. "
"I'm burdened with the future of the entire Nalan Family. I can't live the life of an ordinary girl, let alone decide my own happiness."
As she spoke, she looked at the flowers on the ground.
"I don't even have the freedom of these flowers. The flowers can flutter and bloom at will, but I can't."
She carried heavy shackles on her body. She couldn't shrink back for even a moment, otherwise, she would become a sinner of the family.
Prince Xian didn't expect that the seemingly straightforward Nalan Meng was actually as helpless as him.
Her words resonated with him.
He said softly, "So Miss is also like this prince. There are some things that you can't decide, so Miss came here to relax?"
Nalan Meng nodded. "Yes."
Suddenly, she looked at the jade flute in Prince Xian's hand and said, "Your jade flute is really beautiful. Do you know how to play it?"
Prince Xian smiled elegantly. "A little."
As he spoke, he looked at the lake in the distance, brought the flute to his lips, and gently blew into it.
A clear and distant sound of a flute came from afar. This flute sound was beautiful and pleasant to the ears. It contained a faint sadness and endless longing, which made Nalan Meng's heart skip a beat.
This song was really nice to listen to. It was lingering and melodious, with a strong feeling of affection, as if it could move one's heart.
It turned out that Prince Xian's flute was so pleasing to the ear, but he was so modest.
She looked up and saw Prince Xian's well-defined hands. His hands were slender, fair, and extremely beautiful.
Looking up, she saw Prince Xian's perfect lips, high nose bridge, and deep eyes.
Only now did she realize that Prince Xian was so handsome up close.
His every movement had an innate air of nobility, as if he was a celestial being who had descended from the heavens. He was cold and elegant, otherworldly.
Finally, after a while, the sound of the flute slowly stopped. Prince Xian also put down the jade flute.
Nalan Meng smiled faintly. "Not bad. Your Highness's flute sound was like the sounds of nature, intoxicating. I really had a good time listening to it."
"Miss is overpraising. This prince's flute skills are not worth mentioning!" Prince Xian said modestly.
"Ah, help! My family's miss fell into the lake. Who can save her? "At this moment, a shout came from not far away.
When Prince Xian heard the shout, he immediately handed the jade flute to Nalan Meng. "Princess, please take care of it for Wang."
After speaking, he quickly ran in the direction of the shout.
Seeing this, Nalan Meng also quickly followed.
When Prince Xian ran to the lakeside, he saw several women standing on the shore in a panic.
In the water, one of the women was violently struggling.
Seeing that the woman was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, Prince Xian didn't have time to take off his clothes. He jumped into the lake, grabbed the woman, and slowly swam to the shore.
Seeing this, Nalan Meng quickly went to help pull the woman up.
Soon, everyone pulled the woman up.
Prince Xian climbed onto the shore by himself. After he reached the shore, he hurried to the woman and asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"
The woman coughed a few times in pain and said, "Thank you for saving me. I'm fine."
The servant girls next to her said, "Miss, it's great that you're fine! Next time, be careful and don't fall in again! Fortunately, this young master saved you today. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable! "
The woman said, "It's all my fault for being too fascinated by the flute. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen into the lake."
Hearing this, Prince Xian's face showed some self-blame, "It seems that it's my fault. I shouldn't have played the flute over there!"
The woman said in surprise, "Young master, so you were the one who played the flute? It's really nice. "
She looked up again and found that the man in front of her was extraordinarily handsome. Even if he was wet, it couldn't hide his elegance.
She immediately lowered her head in embarrassment!
Seeing this woman's girlish attitude, Nalan Meng teasingly raised the corner of her mouth and looked at Prince Xian teasingly.
She didn't expect Prince Xian's charm to be so great. He could casually save a woman and make her blush and her heart beat faster.
Prince Xian saw this woman's shy expression and hurriedly said, "Since Miss is fine, this one will leave first!"
"Hey, wait a minute!" The woman hurriedly called out to him, "Young master, your clothes are all wet. You'll catch a cold like this. Do you want me to buy a set of clothes for you to change into?"
Prince Xian's expression was distant, "No need! I can go home and change myself. Please don't worry, Miss! "
Hearing this, the woman's face was filled with disappointment.
At this moment, Prince Xian cupped his hands towards Nalan Meng and said, "Princess, my clothes are wet. I can't stay here for long. I'll take my leave first."
"Alright, goodbye." Nalan Meng said indifferently.
Seeing Prince Xian's elegant back, Nalan Meng couldn't help but smile.
She didn't expect that Prince Xian, a prince, would be so kind to the common people. In such a cold lake, he didn't even think before jumping into it to save people.
Suddenly, she saw the jade flute in her hand.
This was Prince Xian's flute. She had forgotten to return it to him!
She hurriedly walked out, wanting to return the flute to Prince Xian. In the end, she only took a few steps before she found that she was lost!
Looking at the garden that extended in all directions, she smiled faintly and shook her head. It seemed that she could only take care of this jade flute for Prince Xian and wait for an opportunity to return it to him.

After Chu Tianyu was beaten 50 times, he was carried back to The Emperor of Jin's residence to recuperate!
At this time, Chu Tianyu's injuries hadn't healed yet. He couldn't get out of bed and his salary had been cut off by the Emperor. He was poor and pitiful.
In the past, the Empress had always subsidized him. However, the Empress found that he was a good-for-nothing and didn't want to waste her money, so she refused to give him any more money.
Chu Tianyu didn't have money, so he couldn't give money to his guests. Without money, the guests were anxious all day, afraid that Chu Tianyu would fall from power.
