'Femme fatale' was now sitting by the pavilion, well-behaved. Because there was wind by the window, he didn't take off his cloak or his hat.

The moment Zhan Lue left, Xian Sheng felt much more relaxed. Zhan Yin was giggling and talking in his ears. Xian Sheng smiled in response, finishing the melon seeds Zhan Lue peeled for him. Then, he started peeling it himself.

Seeing this, Zhan Yin actively started peeling melon seeds with him, placing it on the plate. She tried to kiss up, "Sister-in-law, eat slowly. I'll help you peel it."

How could Xian Sheng accept this treatment? Therefore, he shifted the topic, "Qing Rong isn't with you today?"

"She's with my royal grandmother." Zhan Yin found this strange. "Does sister-in-law want to meet her? I'll have someone call her over."

"It's okay. I just heard that the three of you guys are always together. That's why I was a bit curious when I didn't see her."

Zhan Jin coughed.

Zhan Yin moved back and glanced at Xian Sheng as though saying: don't I treat you very well? Xian Sheng laughed and said, "His Highness is handsome and noble. It's normal for him to have admirers."

Zhan Yin felt bad as she saw him wearing a peaceful expression. Zhan Jin couldn't help but take a few more looks. She got up and sat next to the place Zhan Lue had sat before. Xian Sheng sat next to Zhan Yin and Zhan Jin. "Is sister-in-law used to living in the capital now?"

Xian Sheng couldn't help but look at her. He felt something strange towards Zhan Jin. "It's fine as long as I don't leave the room. Though, I'm a bit eager for spring to come."

Zhan Jin said gently, "Spring in the North is also a bit cold. You won't feel the weather turning warm until at least in April."

"It's going to be a long time." Xian Sheng conceals his sadness and looks at the field ahead. At the moment, the ice man is ready, waiting for the order of the Jin emperor.

"Tomorrow, let's eat mutton soup and then cook it. Mutton warms our stomach. We sweat every time we eat it." Zhan Yin also nodded fiercely on the side. Xian Sheng thought this was rare. He glanced at her, but also felt a bit eager. "If His Highness allows me, I'll go."

"As long as sister-in-law acts cute, won't the elder brother just surrender to you?" She gave Xian Sheng a look. She didn't wear a pampered expression, rather acted quite handsome and straightforward. He looked at Zhan Yin only to see her covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

He suddenly felt something threatening to burst from his heart. It was small details, but because he personally experienced it before, he noticed it at first sight.

He took a few more looks at Zhan Jin, pursing his lips. "You know martial arts?"

"The royal family in the Jin Country all know martial arts." She picked up the teacup sitting on the stove and poured a cup of warm water for Xian Sheng. "It's about to begin." 

Applause erupted and Zhan Yin eagerly ran to the window, hollering, "Zhan Hua! Zhan Hua!"

Zhan Hua seemed to be the Sixth Prince. Like Zhan Jin, he also needed to call Zhan Yin elder sister. Xian Sheng sipped tea before following over as well.

The young men on the ice were all agile. Although they were part of the royal family, they didn't give in to each other. Each one was quick like lightning. There were marks on the ice from their ice skates. The common people cheered around the surrounding, and there were vendors surging in from time to time, trying to sell melon seeds, candied fruits, and other snacks. It was a bustling sight.
