On the map, Baijia Manor is much larger than the Imperial City, but if you really stand in the center of Jianshui City, you will find that the Imperial City still looks more grand.

A large area of ​​endless palaces scattered in the imperial city. Under the sunlight, the roofs all look golden and extremely brilliant.

The Baijia Manor in the East looks much more low-key. Strictly speaking, it is like a strangely standing in the center of the city, surrounding the entire Baijia Manor.

However, it just looks relatively low-key. In fact, most areas of Jianshuicheng are seen through many continuous building blocks, which must be seen by Baijia Manor.

Unlike the Baijia Manor and the Imperial Palace, Lanchi Garden in the west of the Imperial Palace is even more low-key.

The main body of the Lanchi Garden is naturally a Lanchi Garden separated by a small island and a waterside pavilion. The water surface is quite large, with rippling blue waves and white birds coming and going. Among the green forests around, flowers are blooming and pavilions are hidden, making the environment look quite pleasant.

On the edge of part of the waters south of Lanchi Garden, there is a peninsula that explores the lake. The peninsula builds a palace that looks full of spiritual energy.

The palace is surrounded by sycamore trees.

The name of this palace is Danfeng Palace, which is the palace in Lanchi Garden where the former Queen Chen, Li Xiangge's mother.

Maybe to avoid taboos or to show their differences, the new queen, who is now Queen Chen, moved the queen's palace to another residence in Lanchi Garden called Fanglin Garden, and the Danfeng Palace has been empty.

Two days ago, Li Xiangge returned to Jianshui City and moved into it.

The environment in Danfeng Palace is very good, perhaps because it has been vacant for a long time, it makes the place look extremely deserted.

Although it has been repeatedly and carefully cleaned, the palace is still full of a decadent smell. There are not many people in the huge palace.

Apart from the few maids and servants Li Xiangge brought when he came back, there were only a few elderly and weak, slow-handed and slow-legged women left.

These people were sent by the current queen in the palace yesterday to show her "care" for Princess Jingyi.

Li Xiangge knew that this was her current "mother" who gave her a warning.

In fact, Li Xiangge had no hope for this mother.

But what made her feel sad now was that it had been a few days since she came back, but her father, the current King of Chen, seemed to have never asked her at all, let alone summoned her.

In addition, there is also the eldest brother she has always been counting on, the prince of Chen, who has never appeared.

She has been staying in this Danfeng Palace, as if she was imprisoned.

After many years, he returned to his hometown and faced such a situation, which naturally made Li Xiangge's heart full of chill.

Only those from South Suzhou, a steady stream of gifts were sent to Danfeng Palace, piled up coldly on the side.

Compared with South Su country, Chen is an absolute giant, so South Su country still attaches great importance to this marriage with Li Xiangge.

But what South Suguo cares about is only to use these two marriages to bring closer relationship with Chen, and he obviously doesn't care about Li Xiangge at all.

Li Xiangge sighed quietly and lowered his head slightly.

The water of Lanchi Lake below is clear and the blue waves are rippling. A beautiful figure looking down at the lake is clearly reflected.

But her face, frowns, was filled with sad faces that were solidified like frost and could not melt.

Li Xiangge has three faces.

He looks like Princess Jingyi, which is to the outside world, dignified and quiet, showing the appearance of a princess.

One is like this now, and it is also the most despised thing she hates.

The death of the mother is actually fine, after all, she is still very young.

But the key is the subsequent impacts brought by the death of her mother, the disgust of the father, the exclusion of the new queen...

In order to attract people's attention, she deliberately made things difficult for her, but she attracted her father's greater annoyance. In the end, she even drove Li Xiangge to the distant Zheng State, and lived under someone's roof at a young age...

This series of experiences made Li Xiangge's heart deeply filled with some negative emotions such as inferiority, sensitivity, etc.

This is a combination of these negative emotions.

No one would like this, so slowly, Li Xiangge thought of a solution.

This is her third face, pretending to be careless, lively and outgoing. Anyway, she tries to pretend to be completely opposite.

She wanted to become like this, and at the same time gave herself a name called Li Xiangge.

Before this, she had maintained two faces of Princess Jingyi on the surface, and in private Li Xiangge.

No matter what happened in Zheng State, she was at least the title of Princess Chen State. Even if the people of Zheng State knew that she was not favored, they would always give Chen State a face, and on the surface she was still reasonable to Li Xiangge.

But now, after countless years, the so-called princess's reputation has been stripped away and nothing has happened.

She completely turned into a canary imprisoned in a cage to be slaughtered.

This made all the true self that she had suppressed in her heart for many years revealed.

Her heart was filled with unprecedented sadness.

She didn't care about Princess Jingyi's reputation. What she was sad was that she had worked hard for so long just to become Li Xiangge.

Unfortunately, Li Xiangge is fake and pretends.

She has been beaten back to the prototype by the cruel reality, and now she is the real one she is.

The current dissatisfaction naturally makes her miss the short time she was able to be Li Xiangge even more.

Especially...after meeting the little doctor named Mu Yan in the Zhongnan Mountains.

It seems that only in front of that guy can she subconsciously put all the negative emotions suppressed in her heart behind her, without having to think about how to disguise. What she instinctively expresses is the way she likes and wants to be.

In fact, since she left Qinghe City, she has been thinking about what Ye Tian is doing now after she parted ways; she is thinking about the other party's identity that she has been curious about.

However, from returning to Jianshui City and living in Danfeng Palace, the disappointment and blow brought to her by her former home made this longing stronger.

"I promised to meet in Jianshui City. In a few days, once I marry into South Suzhou, I will never come back. How can I meet?" Li Xiangge sat on the terrace, kicking himself in the reflection of the lake with his feet, but it seemed that he was kicking the person she was muttering: "Do you want to break the agreement and be a liar?"

"Princess, be careful!" A scream suddenly sounded from behind, and Rong'er ran over.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiangge came out of his immersive thoughts and asked lightly at Rong'er behind him.

"Ah, I thought you..." Rong'er found that Li Xiangge's emotions looked very stable, and her mind suddenly relaxed and stopped.

"Do you think I'm going to jump into the lake and commit suicide?" Li Xiangge asked.

"I can see that your emotional state is really bad in the past few days, so I misunderstood..." Rong'er said with some shame.

"Don't worry, how could I commit suicide? I will marry to South Su country in a few days." Li Xiangge said slowly, sounding like a very festive and confident word, but when she was speaking, she clearly had a strong wry smile on her face.

"Ah? Do you want to marry Prince Ye of South Sui?" Rong'er said in surprise, her mouth widening into a round shape.

"How could it be..." Li Xiangge immediately shook his head firmly, turned his head to look at the vast Lanchi Lake in front of him, as if he was saying it to Rong'er, but he said in a very low voice: "Of course I don't want to marry into South Su Country, but I was redundant from the beginning of speaking out, and I was disliked by everyone. This matter seemed to be the only thing that I could use for Chen State."

"By the way," Li Xiangge asked Rong'er without looking back, "Is there anything you have to do?"

"Yes, someone outside asks for a visit," Rong'er said respectfully.

"Who is Mr. Mu?" Li Xiangge was thinking about this just now, but now he suddenly heard such news, so he naturally thought about it easily, turned over quickly, looked at Rong'er seriously, his big eyes were unconsciously filled with the light of hope and expectation.

"It's not Mr. Mu..." Rong'er shook her head and said, "It's Mr. Bai."

"Oh," Li Xiangge responded dejectedly, and the naked eye became sluggish, and the light in his eyes was gone, like an instant wilted eggplant.

"There are days after you come back, Mr. Bai comes to visit every day, but you always think it is Mr. Mu," Rong'er said timidly: "I have only been a few days apart. Princess, do you actually miss Mr. Mu so much?"

"What are you talking about, what are you missing, messy!" Li Xiangge immediately scolded him angrily, but there was no look of displeasure on her face, but instead it was much more relaxed than before.

"Rong'er is too talkative," Rong'er responded quickly, but then raised her head and said, "Young Master Bai is actually very good, I like you so much. In fact, if you don't want to marry into South Su country, you can ask Young Master Bai for help. With the energy of the Bai family, you can definitely change this matter."

Li Xiangge didn't say anything.

Of course she knew that the Bai family had this energy, and she also knew that Mr. Bai liked her.

In the past few days, the other party has come to visit every day, just talking about what Rong'er mentioned.

But because of this marriage, she was the only thing she could do to Chen State. No matter how Chen State treats her, she decided to complete this matter and no longer owe Chen State.

So every time Li Xiangge refused seriously.

At the same time, the other party's preference for her was also what the other party liked.

When I met this young master Bai, it was the darkest starting point in Li Xiangge's life.

So although she knew that Mr. Bai was the only one in the world who treated her sincerely, her rejection of that dark experience made Li Xiangge unable to accept Mr. Bai from beginning to end.

She has always been clear about her attitude, but the other party seems to be full of infinite patience and has never been discouraged.

"Young Master Bai is still waiting. Do you want to see him?" Rong'er couldn't help asking.

"See you," Li Xiangge nodded.

"It's just you..." Rong'er pointed to Li Xiangge's soaked shoes and trousers, and just reached into the lake.

"I'll go change my clothes and let Mr. Bai wait in the front hall," said Li Xiangge.

"yes."

After a while, Li Xiangge changed into clothes and shoes, with a dignified and quiet expression, appeared in the front hall of Danfeng Palace.

On the guest seat, a tall young man in white was sitting upright.

His face is fair and handsome, his eyebrows are straight, and his eyes are bright and bright, and he is full of confidence.

This is the most outstanding person of the Bai family’s younger generation this year, Bai Xingya, and Bai Yu’s elder brother.

"Your Highness," Bai Xingya immediately stood up to greet Li Xiangge and bowed seriously.
