”I want to eat that.” Little Jing Kong suddenly stopped his beautiful singing voice, pointing to an alley across the street emitting the aroma of sesame seeds.

Xiao Liulang said, ”That’s an alley. If you can eat that, be my guest.”

Little Jing Kong：“…”

Little Jing Kong said, ”Donʼt you smell that fragrance? Itʼs the aroma of JiaoJiaoʼs favorite sesame seeds!”

Gu Jiao loved to eat the jerky made by the family of Xiao Liulangʼs classmate which had sesame seeds sprinkled on it, but Xiao Liulang failed to catch any smell of sesame seed anywhere. Only when he crossed the alley did Xiao Liulang faintly smell it.

He looked curiously at Little Jing Kong, ”Did you have a dogʼs nose or something? What kind of sense of smell is that?”

Little Jing Kong harrumphed, ”Itʼs obviously your nose thatʼs lacking!”

Xiao Liulang had to walk half a block to find the shop selling sesame cakes.

Xiao Liulang felt a twitch in the corner of his mouth. You call my nose lacking with this? Probably even dogs can’t smell it from there, can they?

This was a new sesame cake shop. It officially opened today and business wasn’t bad. Xiao Liulang led Little Jing Kong in line for a while and bought two boxes of freshly baked sesame cakes.

Little Jing Kong counted carefully and made sure that everyone in the family had one and JiaoJiao had two, before he contentedly held the box in his arms and left.

But as soon as he turned around, he met Xu Zhouzhou who also came to buy sesame cakes.

“Jing Kong!”

”Zhouzhou!”

The two children were very excited as they stood by the shop and became little trumpet players, chatting nonstop with each other.

It was unknown what a seven-year-old little bun had to talk about with a four-year-old little bun.

Xiao Liulang speechlessly looked at the two little ones talking like bees. For a moment, he really regretted taking him out.

Xu Zhouzhou grabbed Little Jing Kongʼs hand and pointed to the restaurant diagonally across the street, ”Thatʼs the restaurant owned by my cousin. My cousin is upstairs right now! Iʼll take you to meet him! He has always wanted to see you!”

”Brother-in-law, can I go?” Little Jing Kong looked at Xiao Liulang eagerly. Whenever he asked for something, he would always act cute.

Xiao Liulang took a deep breath and said helplessly, ”Iʼll wait for you here.”

Little Jing Kong handed the box to Xiao Liulang and was dragged by Xu Zhouzhou to the Drunken Rhythm House diagonally across the street.

Next to the sesame cake shop was a bookstore where Xiao Liulang waited for the time being. As it happened, the ink sticks at home were used up and he planned to buy some tomorrow. But since he was here already, he might as well buy it now.

Xiao Liulang went into the bookstore and asked the shopkeeper for some ink sticks.

The shopkeeper said, ”The first class ink sticks are inside this room, young master can choose them himself.”

Xiao Liulang went in to choose some ink sticks.

This room was very narrow, with two rows of shelves, so it was difficult for people to walk around once they got inside.

But the ink sticks here were indeed excellent, and Xiao Liulang was so satisfied that he picked out a few pieces.

Just then, the Crown Princess passed by the entrance.

She came to have dinner with the Crown Prince in the Drunken Rhythm House. She caught the smell of sesame cakes upstairs and thought Qin Chuyu might like them, so she came down to buy a box of sesame cakes for him, but then she saw a familiar figure just as she passed by the bookstore.

She hurried in.

”Madame, would you like to buy...”

The shopkeeper couldn’t finish his words as the Crown Princess simply walked past him.

Xiao Liulang grabbed the ink sticks and was about to walk out of the room when a figure came in.

And the moment the other person came in, a bookshelf from the first row suddenly fell down, slamming the door closed and blocking it completely.

This unexpected situation took both people by surprise. Even the Crown Princess was slightly dazed. When the bookshelf fell down, she instinctively took a few steps forward to avoid unexpected trouble.

But this room was narrow, so she almost collided into Xiao Liulang after taking a few hurried steps.

Xiao Liulang first heard the sound of someone coming in. Then the sound of the bookshelf falling down and hitting the door. There were no oil lamps and no windows in the room. As soon as the door was closed, the room was plunged into endless darkness.

He failed to see who the newcomer was, but following his instinct, he managed to avoid the other party by taking a few steps back, sticking himself on the wall.

It hadn’t been a day or two since Xiao Liulang was evasive to strangers. Since Feng Lin met him again, he had discovered that Xiao Liulang had major problems concerning social interaction, but Feng Lin had a thick skin and always approached Xiao Liulang.

The Crown Princess was a little embarrassed by the other partyʼs action of avoiding suspicion. Men in general would normally try to act like a hero saving the beauty when they encounter this kind of thing, wouldn’t they?

Of course, as the Crown Princess, a high-ranking personage, she wouldn’t allow herself to have any physical contact with other men. But it was one thing for her not to allow it, and another thing for others not to do so.

The room was filled with the fragrance of womenʼs cosmetics. It wasn’t like the scent of the cheap cosmetics from the market, but rather like the finest incense of the palace.

Xiao Liulang’s hand holding the ink sticks froze.

Although there were no lamps in the room, after the eyes had adapted to the darkness, they could vaguely see a little bit by the faint light penetrating under the door.

The other party was wearing a pearly white dress, embellished with gold and silver threads that were looming in the dim light.

It was the extremely precious mermaid fabric. It was said that even hundreds of embroidery ladies could knit only half a piece of it in one month. This was of course an exaggeration, but the mermaid fabric was indeed a rare treasure in the palace.

Palace maids were not qualified to wear them, nor were ordinary imperial concubines. The Imperial Household Department usually only gave it to the hostess of the harem, namely the Empress Dowager or the Empress.

Empress Dowager was no longer in the palace, and it was impossible for the Empress to leave the palace.

The womanʼs figure was graceful, like a beautiful mermaid coming out of the water under a moonlit night.

It was a young lady.

The room was so quiet that even a person’s breathing could be heard clearly.

Xiao Liulang didnʼt speak. He didnʼt mean to strike up a conversation or salute people whatsoever.

”Who are you?”

After some hesitation, the Crown Princess finally spoke first.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Liulang squeezed the ink sticks in his hand, but he still didnʼt speak.

The Crown Princess thought to herself: Is it really Ah Heng? If itʼs Ah Heng, he wonʼt fail to recognize my voice...

She paused and tried to walk towards the other party. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, another bookshelf suddenly fell down and happened to obstruct between them.

Unable to get answers, unable to get near, the Crown Princess could only give up.

The two people weren’t trapped in the room for too long. The shopkeeper found something strange here and hurriedly asked the man to come and pry the door open.

Unfortunately, the door was blocked, and it wasn’t so easy to pry it open in a short time.

The shopkeeper also didn’t want to cause too much damage to his own door and floor, and dared not do things on a large scale. As a result, the progress of opening the door was unconsciously delayed.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince waited upstairs for a long time but didnʼt see the Crown Princess coming back. He and the Crown Princess had been alone, and they didnʼt bring any attendants, just a coachman and two dark guards who were protecting him in the shadows.

After thinking about it, he decided to look for her himself.

The Crown Princess said she was going to buy some sesame cakes, but she was nowhere to be seen in front of the sesame cake shop.

So he asked the coachman, ”Have you seen the Crown Princess?”

The coachman answered, ”Going back to Your Highness, the Crown Princess has gone to the bookstore.”

The Crown Prince frowned. What was she doing in the bookstore?
