Xuanyuan Chen caressed Xie Qingrong's hair, as though he was comforting her, "A Rong doesn't need to be so anxious, wait until we return from Nanping, then we can settle this matter."

Xie Qingrong knew that Xuanyuan Chen was trying to console him, but she couldn't take it anymore.

Let's see who laughs to the end.

Standing beside Xuanyuan Chen who was dressed in white, they reflected each other like the sun and moon.

When the Left Prime Minister's Estate's Zhangsun Wenxuan and Zhangsun Wenyan's brother and sister heard that Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong were coming, they had already been waiting at the gate of the Prime Minister's residence to receive them.

Seeing Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong who had gotten off the palanquin, they immediately went forward to welcome them.

The corner of Zhangsun Wenyan's mouth hooked up into a faint smile, which added to her dignified and elegant demeanor, "You've finally arrived. Big brother and I have waited here for you for a long time."

Xuanyuan Chen smiled lightly, "Looks like this duke and A Rong are late."

Zhangsun Wenyan suddenly became serious and said sternly: "Let's see how I'll punish the two of you later." But her eyes were filled with a cunning light.

Xie Qingrong held onto Xuanyuan Chen's wrist, and only smiled faintly, she did not interrupt, and displayed the temperament of a noble daughter vividly.

If not for the fact that Xuanyuan Chen could feel that the hand Xie Qingrong held onto her was trembling slightly, it would have been impossible for the calm Xie Qingrong to actually be nervous.

Zhangsun Wenxuan laughed and pinched Zhangsun Wenyan's nose, and said intimately: "You have the most clever ideas." In between, Zhangsun Wenyan secretly stuck out her tongue at him, acting extremely naughty.

That dignified and elegant image was instantly shattered.

He called out to Xuanyuan Chen and his, saying, "Quickly, don't stand at the door. Dad and mom are waiting for you in the hall."

Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong nodded their heads at the same time, with Zhangsun Wenxuan leading the way, they walked side by side.

Xie Qingrong was one step behind the two of them, and upon seeing that, Zhangsun Wenyan was one step behind, holding onto Xie Qingrong's arm, she became stiff for a moment, and quickly relaxed.

Zhangsun Wenyan naturally felt Xie Qingrong's somewhat stiff arm, as she tilted her head and looked at Xie Qingrong with astonishment.

Xie Qingrong caught Zhangsun Wenyan's gaze and lightly explained: "It's probably because I haven't had any friends since I was young, I'm not used to being intimately touched by others like this."

Zhangsun Wenyan nodded, showing her understanding.

Indeed, she knew her sister-in-law's situation. Ever since she was young, she had lived alone in the General's Estate, never coming out to attend banquets or tours with the young mistresses of aristocratic families.

When Zhangsun Wenyan thought of this, an additional trace of pity appeared in her heart.

These minute emotions naturally could not be concealed from Xie Qingrong, but she did not point it out.

After all, they were Xuanyuan Chen's relatives, and would be her relatives in the future.

Before long, they had passed through a winding corridor, passed a fragrant garden, and walked across a long wooden bridge. They arrived at the main hall.

Zhangsun Xiuming and his wife were standing at the entrance of the hall, waiting for them to arrive.

Just as Zhangsun Wenxuan and a few other people walked into the hall, Mrs. Songsun came forward and pulled Xie Qingrong along as she gently caressed her hands. Her eyes reddened as she continued, "Good child, it's been hard on you."

The confused Xie Qingrong blinked his eyes, she turned and looked at Xuanyuan Chen, using his eyes to indicate what he should say, but Xuanyuan Chen was the one to slightly test the waters.

To say that he was powerless to help.

Xie Qingrong cursed Xuanyuan Chen in her heart, but on the surface, not a trace of emotion was revealed. She smiled lightly: "Madam, no need to be so courteous, you are a relative of the Prince Chen, and are also a relative of mine.

He said, "This is a greeting gift, although it is a little light. I'll prepare a better one for you next time."

Xie Qingrong touched the bracelet on her hand, the corners of her mouth formed a sincere smile, and said: "Thank you Madam."

"Cousin, my mother even gave you such a precious bracelet, why do you still call me Madam Mu?" Zhangsun Wenyan pretended to be jealous, but the smile in his eyes betrayed her.

"Aunt." Xie Qingrong shouted sweetly.

"Sigh." Wifey Sun pulled Xie Qingrong and Zhangsun Wenyan inside the hall, where food had long been prepared.

The remaining three men who had been unable to get a word in were looking at each other in dismay.

However, the three of them just smiled at each other before following him into the hall.

The six of them sat around a table filled with food.

However, Xuanyuan Chen and the other two men were drinking Pear Blossom Wine, while Xie Qingrong and the other two women were drinking Fruit Wine, which was a little sweet but not intoxicating.

After lunch, Mrs. Zhang Sun went back to her room to take a nap. Zhangsun Wenyan pulled Xie Qingrong back to her own room to say a few words of comfort.

Xuanyuan Chen and Zhangsun Wenxuan followed Zhangsun Xiuming to the study room to discuss something.

"Both of you, be careful on your way to Nanping." Zhangsun Xiuming worriedly told Xuanyuan Chen and Zhangsun Wenxuan.

Xuanyuan Chen smiled lightly, "Uncle, don't worry. I'll have to ask uncle to watch this court. "

He had already known from the start that going to the Nanping would not be peaceful, but he did not care about those people who rushed over to throw their lives away. However, it was likely that the capital would start to reshuffle.

"Prince Chen's meaning? Is it time for them to start? " Zhangsun Xiuming frowned and asked.

"How could they give up so easily after all these years of plotting? Uncle, you must not be careful of King Jing, he doesn't want to appear to be so cynical. " Xuanyuan Chen smiled lightly and continued, "This trip to the Nanping, will take at least three months. We must keep an eye on them during these three months. This king will secretly send people to protect Prince Chen's Mansion and Prime Minister's Estate. Be careful not to sail a ship for ten thousand years. "
