"Prunus mume, you don't understand." Zhangsun Wenyan said indifferently, "Alright, Prunus mume, you can go down first. I want to be alone for a while."
Zhangsun Wenyan interrupted Prunus mume and wanted to continue persuading him, but she found it impossible. She licked her lips and gave up, wiping the tears off her face, and walked out of the young miss's room.
Zhangsun Wenyan had already decided that no matter what, she would make the appointment tomorrow.
The second day was nearing noon. After Zhangsun Wenyan was dressed, she got on the carriage of the Prime Minister's Estate and went to visit the Gourmet.
In the Earth Room # 1, a handsome man in white was sitting in his seat, holding a wine cup with his slender fingers. He was slightly swaying, as if he was waiting for someone. A faint smile even hung on his lips.
The sound of the door opening resounded, the white clothed man's eyes flashed with surprise, he raised his head, and saw Zhangsun Wenyan leisurely walking over, the current Zhangsun Wenyan did not look like the dignified and elegant person she was when he first met her.
On the contrary, some of them were playful and lively, while their elegant and elegant faces were filled with a bit of mischief, looking forward to the day.
"Miss Zhangsun, please take a seat." The white clothed man stood up and pulled out a seat in front of Zhangsun Wenyan, looking extremely elegant and graceful.
"Miss Zhangsun, you haven't eaten yet, right? This humble one will instruct the waiter to bring you some food." The white clothed man said with a smile.
Zhangsun Wenyan took a cup of tea from the table and poured herself a cup of tea, stopping the man in white from drinking it, "Young Master Li, there is no need for a meal. Do you still remember what Young Master Li told me before? "
"Of course I remember. But why is Miss Zhangsun in such a hurry?" The smile on Young Master Li's face faded.
Zhangsun Wenyan smiled, but no matter how you looked at it, that smile was somewhat mocking, "Young Master Li, why don't you reveal your true colors, why don't you talk about your purpose of getting close to me? Or perhaps, what is the purpose of the person behind you? "
"It seems like Miss Zhangsun knows all about it. I wonder when did Miss Zhangsun know about it?" The smile on Young Master Li's face completely disappeared, and his expression darkened.
"I suspected you from the first time. Li Chengrui, undeniably, this is a good name. " The ridicule and ridicule from Zhangsun Wenyan's lips became even stronger.
"However, you are just too similar to him. Appearance, weight, name and even handwriting are almost the same, which makes me wonder if you deliberately approached me. " Zhangsun Wenyan said in a bland voice, she did not feel the slightest bit of anger from being used.
Hearing that, Li Chengrui suddenly laughed, making him look even more handsome, "What if I'm not lying to you, and am purely attracted to you?"
Zhangsun Wenyan looked at Li Chengrui indifferently, his clear eyes did not have a single ripple, "Even so, you will never be able to take his place."
With that, he took out the scented sachet that he had made for a long time, placed it on the table, and said lightly: "This scented sachet is for you. Inside it is the handkerchief that you used to wipe my sweat off, treat it as repaying your favor.
"Wait." Li Chengrui called out to Zhangsun Wenyan, "Do you really not have any feelings for me?"
Zhangsun Wenyan's footsteps paused for a moment, and then her cold voice sounded, completely cutting off the last bit of wishful thinking in her heart.
"No. Never. "
Li Chengrui watched Zhangsun Wenyan's back figure gradually disappear before her eyes. With a bitter smile, she caressed the face on his face and slumped down onto the chair.
Zhangsun Wenyan left the Gourmet without looking back, and sat on the palanquin back to the Prime Minister's Estate.
When Shen Haoxuan was sent to deliver the news of Zhangsun Wenyan meeting with him via a pigeon to Xie Qingrong, Xuanyuan Chen was currently bringing Xie Qingrong to the last county in the auction house, Qingcheng.
Qingcheng was a county located at the southernmost tip of the Heavenly Sage Kingdom. The soil here was barren, and the sun was as hot as summer.
Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen rode over, both of them covered in sweat. Xie Qingrong raised her head and looked at the sky, the red sun hung high in the sky, radiating heat and light.
Only after arriving at Qingcheng did he feel more at ease. Qingcheng was filled with plants, and the long street was lined with lush green trees.
Xuanyuan Jing sat in the large hall of the county, and at Qingcheng County, Sun Dening carefully poured a cup of tea and passed it to Xuanyuan Jing. Xuanyuan Jing received the cup with a smile, and said: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Master Sun."
Sun Dening wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead with his sleeve, and carefully laughed along, "Master, you are being too serious. If there is anything that this official is unable to handle, please read more. "
Ye Ningyu looked at Sun Dening's subservient appearance and impatiently waved his hand, chasing him out, "Master Sun, there's no need for you here, you can leave for now."
"Yes, this official will take his leave." Sun Dening said respectfully.
Ye Ningyu's eyes followed Sun Dening as he walked far away, moving closer to Xuanyuan Jing. Her pretty face had an extra sense of anticipation and shyness to it, "Is Your Highness sure that Prince Chen and the rest will be arriving at Qingcheng today?"
Xuanyuan Jing lowered his head, and took a small sip of the tea. The steam coming out from the tea covered the mockery in the depths of Xuanyuan Jing's eyes, and he only heard him say indifferently, "Sit here and wait."
Not long later, Ye Ningyu heard Master Sun's flattering voice, "Please come in, there is already a Master waiting for you inside."
Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong walked into the main hall with both of their fingers tightly clenched. Ye Ningyu stared at their tightly held hands, the temperature of his eyes almost burning with anger, his painted on fingers tightly gripped onto his palm.
The moment Xuanyuan Chen and his tightly clenched fingers separated and they sat down in their respective seats, Ye Ningyu eagerly held the tea cup as he walked forward. Lowering his eyes, he very meekly handed the tea cup to Xuanyuan Chen and gently said: "Big Brother Chen, the weather in this Qingcheng City is extremely hot.
Xuanyuan Chen faintly smiled as he looked at Ye Ningyu who had come up to him to offer his support. Xuanyuan Chen did not say a word, nor did he accept the teacup in Ye Ningyu's hands. He lightly knocked on the table, and took the teacup in front of Xie Qingrong.
"This king thanks Miss Ye for his good intentions, but it's just that this king already has tea to quench my thirst, so Miss Ye should keep this cup of tea for himself." Saying so, he raised the teacup in his hand.
Xuanyuan Jing silently sat at the side. Watching Ye Ningyu make a fool of himself in front of Xuanyuan Chen, the corner of his lips curled up, and his eyes revealed a few points of disdain.
Being humiliated by Xuanyuan Chen in front of so many people, especially in front of Xie Qingrong, Ye Ningyu's face was extremely pale. With a forced smile, she took back the teacup and placed it on the table.
However, when her gaze landed on Xie Qingrong who had nothing to do with her, she was immediately enraged, and the face she had just suffered from immediately turned into unwillingness and jealousy.
