"Prince, you're finally back." Butler Meng stood at the entrance of Prince Chen's Mansion with a warm smile on his face. He greeted Xie Qingrong: "Princess, is today's meal the same as usual?"
He called for the servants to pull Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong's Treading on the snow to the stable in the backyard, and then led the way.
"Prince, in the past few days within your residence, those ministers have all sent out their greetings in order to visit you. However, this old servant has blocked them out of the mansion, so that they won't disturb your rest. " Butler Meng reported to Xuanyuan Chen about the situation these few days.
Xuanyuan Chen laughed faintly: "It's been hard on you all, Old Meng.
Butler Meng replied: There are Prime Minister Ye, Minister of Rites, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice and so on.
Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows, smiled coldly, and said disdainfully: "Weasel greets chicken for the new year, I feel uneasy and have good intentions. They are obviously trying to test you. "
"It's just some clowns, A Rong doesn't need to be angry." Xuanyuan Chen said as he held Xie Qingrong's hand.
In the great hall of Prince Chen's Mansion, Butler Meng had long received the news that Xuanyuan Chen and his subordinate were going to return to Prince Chen's Mansion, and had ordered his subordinates to prepare everything for them.
Servants carried the meals and placed them on the table.
brought Xie Qingrong to wash her hands, while the Butler Meng came over to report to Xuanyuan Chen. Xuanyuan Jing brought Ye Ningyu to the Prince Chen's Mansion to see Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen's expression was cold as he calmly took a clean towel from the maid's hand and carefully wiped off the water droplets on Xie Qingrong's body. He said lightly, "Let them in."
Before long, Xuanyuan Jing's smiling voice could be heard: "I heard that Third Brother has been infected with the cold for the past few days and has not been able to recover from his illness. As an elder brother, he had to at least take a look. In order to avoid being talked about by others, our brotherhood is so weak. "
The corner of Xie Qingrong's mouth hooked into a sneer of disdain as a trace of ridicule flashed past her deep and dark eyes.
Ever since the ancient era, in the Heartless Emperor's clan, she had seen many battles between royal emperors, as well as brothers killing each other. Xuanyuan Jing's words were extravagant, as though he cared deeply about Xuanyuan Chen, but unfortunately, everything was just a facade.
Xuanyuan Chen sat on the chair, his expression cold, "Thank you second brother for your concern." His tone was neither salty nor indifferent, and he didn't have the slightest bit of emotion.
Xuanyuan Jing seemed to be very used to Xuanyuan Chen's cold appearance, and did not mind at all. He instructed Ye Ningyu who was behind him, "Ning Yu, bring out the present that I have prepared."
Ye Ningyu obediently presented the box in her hand to Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Jing smiled and said: "It's just a small gift and no salutations at all."
Xuanyuan Chen looked at Butler Meng, who immediately went up to take the box. Xuanyuan Chen expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, second brother."
However, that voice was very calm and emotionless.
"Right, how is Third Brother's cold? What did the imperial physician say?" Have you eaten the medicine? " Xuanyuan Jing asked a few questions in a row, showing that he was extremely concerned about Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen frowned slightly, "Thank you second brother for your concern. This king has only caught a common chill and is fine.
Xuanyuan Chen's explanation was watertight, causing Xuanyuan Jing to want to probe further, but to no avail.
Xuanyuan Jing gave Ye Ningyu a look. Ye Ningyu understood tacitly and walked forward, pulling on Xie Qingrong's slender hands.
Just as she was about to throw Ye Ningyu's hand off, she suddenly thought of the method Ye Ningyu had used to frame her at the Longevity Temple.
Resisting the impatience, he brushed Ye Ningyu's hand away from his wrist and sneered: "Princess Jing must be careful of the path under your feet, don't be careless and fall down again."
Ye Ningyu could understand the hidden meaning in Xie Qingrong's words. She was clearly ridiculing the matter of him deliberately using her fall and pregnancy to frame Xie Qingrong that day at the Longevity Monastery, as she pinched her own palm fiercely.
A beautiful smile that was like flowers suddenly bloomed on her peach-like beautiful face. There were a few traces of gentleness between her brows and she looked extremely gentle and beautiful. She smiled and said, "Miss Xie is joking."
Xie Qingrong looked at Ye Ningyu's appearance, which was completely inconsistent with her heart, and smirked her lips in disdain. The ridicule in her eyes became even stronger, "Did I joke around?
Xie Qingrong could not stand Ye Ningyu and Xuanyuan Jing's posturing. If she continued to watch them, she would not even be able to eat today's lunch.
He said coldly: "We have sent the King Jing Lord and Princess Jing a gift, and he has seen us, can you please go back now?"
Ye Ningyu took a step forward. When she neared Xie Qingrong, she couldn't stand the smell of the makeup on Ye Ningyu's body and she took a step back.
The smile became even gentler: "Miss Xie, hold on. I still has something that he wants to trouble you with, may I ask if you can give me the time needed to make a cup of tea? "
Xie Qingrong raised her eyebrows, and said: "Go ahead and ask."
She wanted to see what Ye Ningyu was up to.
"A few days ago, I sent an invitation to the Xie Clan at a Lake Appreciation Meeting in the capital. However, a servant of the Xie Clan informed him that Miss Xie was out on some business. He would be back in a few days.
I was shocked, Miss Xie was going to be married into Prince Chen's Mansion soon, why would he still go out to do things? If there really is a problem, you can hand it over to the next person. For the sake of Miss Xie's own good name, I thinks that it would be better if Miss Xie didn't do too much to make himself known. "
Xie Qingrong laughed coldly in her heart. So she was waiting for him here.
What a great reputation, what a great show. This ancient man's words were quite interesting, and he was accidentally caught by these characters. But why would Ye Ningyu be so kind as to remind him?
"No need for Princess Jing to worry. doesn't need to know what I'm going to do, right? " Xie Qingrong said coldly.
"Miss Xie, this king's consort only cares about you. Why do you need to be so cold and harsh with your words?" Xuanyuan Jing pulled Ye Ningyu behind him and faced his ice-cold eyes.
Xie Qingrong was about to be angered and laugh at Xuanyuan Jing's shameless and fresh speech. With her arms crossed, she coldly said mockingly: "I wonder if this King Jing has heard of something before?"
Xuanyuan Chen's eyes flashed with a smile that seemed like the beginning of a good show.
Xuanyuan Jing had some doubts in his heart, although he knew that Xie Qingrong's words might be deceptive, he could not help but ask: "What do you mean?"
"Mind your own business."
"You!" Xuanyuan Jing was at a loss for words, the anger in his heart continued to surge, and the hand hidden under his sleeve clenched into a fist, veins popping out.
Ye Ningyu carefully pulled on Xuanyuan Jing's sleeves from behind him, indicating that he should not be angry, and not forget their purpose for coming here.
"Cough, cough." Xuanyuan Chen coughed twice, his hand forming a fist as he placed it to his lips, concealing the smile on his lips.
