A servant rushed to her room and replied, "Eldest Lady, the master wants you to come to the main hall". Qingqing panicked and replied, " Eldest Lady, Is it about the money allowance tablet that we are callled for? "

Meiying replied, "Don't panick Qing'er. Let's see "...... Saying this Meiying and her maid went to the main hall calmly...

"You're here, Meiying. " asked her father. "Yes, Father. " replied Meiying with a smile. As she turned around, a man was looking at her. Her father immediately stood up and replied, "Meiying, meet the Crown Prince, the person who you've been engaged with. "

She was shattered as she heard about her engagement. "What is this?! Why didn't anyone say me about this? " wondered Meiying. She immediately bowed down and replied, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Welcome! "

The Crown Prince (Li Yuan) replied, "Please undergo the formalities Ying'er. "
As she sat in the chair, Luo Ai came in hurriedly and bowed down to give her greetings.

Li Yuan pondered, "Is what Ai'er said is true? " Luo Zichen asked him, "Is something worrying you , Your Highness? ".."Nothing." replied Li Yuan...

After some chatting, Li Yuan requested the Prime Minister that he had to leave as he had some urgent matters to attend to.. Luo Zichen bowed down and the Crown Prince left.

As Meiying was nearing her room, Li Yuan stopped her and asked her, "You don't look like the person that people talk about, Ying'er. " Meiying turned and replied, " What do you mean, Your Highness? "

"Do you have some spare time, Meiying? asked Li Yuan. Meiying replied with a smile, " Yes, Your Highness. " As they strolled near the bridge over the lake and admiring the flowers and the fishes, Meiying asked him, " Is there anything that you want to talk to me about, Your Highness? "

"People talk somethings bad about you Meiying. They talk about how arrogant you are and how you punish your people and the people who surround you. "

"People do talk bad when they hear something wrong about a person, Your Highness. " replied Meiying. As they were talking, Luo Ai rushed to them and pretended to slip and sprain her ankle by holding Meiying's shoulder. As she fell down, she yelled in pain (pretending), "Ow, my ankle hurts. Your Highness, can you please help me? "

Li Yuan helped her up, and pretended to hiss in pain, "My! Your Highness, I think my ankle has sprained a lot. Can you please help me to my room? "
Li Yuan helped her without a word and they both left.
