Xu Yu sat upright and straight, his iron clothes never leaving his body, he wore a sword at his waist, his hand always holding onto the sword hilt, ready for battle.
"Maybe he is, but it has nothing to do with Xiao Ting."
"Hehe …" Xie Jingtian looked at Xu Yu in surprise.
He knew his good friend very well. Back then, the Ninth Prince had arranged for a marriage and married the young lady of the Duke of An's estate. At that time, his good friend had been extremely unhappy and had even caused a ruckus in the Ninth Prince's Estate.
Although he did not change anything, but other than official business, Xu Yu never said a word to Ninth Prince.
But now that Xiao Ting had similarly married into the Ninth Prince's Estate, his opinion of her was actually so different.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. The Miss Xiao Liu's heart is pure and honest. In the end, this has nothing to do with her."
"Seems like she's really extraordinary, even your Commander Xu was bribed."
"Don't talk about me. Why did you resolutely break the engagement back then?" That's what Xu Feng didn't understand the most.
Even if Xie Jingtian did not agree to the marriage, he would have at most refused to marry her. With the emperor's fondness for him, it wouldn't have been too forced. However, his methods at that time were a bit too extreme.
When Xie Jingtian heard this, the corners of his mouth widened into a wry smile, "Do you still remember when I was eight years old and met a girl who saved my life?"
"En, I remember you. You weren't able to swim so you didn't enter the water with us. But when I saw you again, you were drenched. I only found out that you were pushed into the water by someone after I asked you."
Xu Yu finished and suddenly realized something, "You said that you were saved by a little girl, then, that girl couldn't be …"
"That's right, the Miss Xiao Liu."
"Then, then did you reject the marriage for her?"
Xie Jingtian nodded. The shock in Xu Yu's heart was no longer enough to be described with words. This was simply a farce.
"Your heart has always been yearning. The girl you want to marry when you grow up is actually Xiao Ting!"
"Then you rejected the marriage?" Xu Yu's entire being was in chaos.
Xie Jingtian bitterly laughed, "I rejected the marriage for her because I didn't know she was that girl."
If he had agreed to this marriage, the girl from back then would have been his wife.
He didn't have to personally deliver it to another man's house.
"Then when did you know?"
Xie Jingtian smiled and shook his head, "Today, just now."
He briefly described his encounter with Xiao Ting at the back mountain of Han Mountain Temple. He described how depressed he was, how worried he was.
"I remember that when she greeted Ninth Prince's Estate's butler, the flower shaped birthmark on her wrist just happened to be revealed."
"That could be a coincidence." Xu Yu wanted him to shift his gaze. Xiao Ting was now a noble Ninth Princess, no matter how terrible the rumors were, he understood clearly what the Ninth Prince was thinking about her.
As such, he couldn't allow his good friend to get into such a predicament.
Let's not talk about where Jing Tian would go from here and what conflicts we have with Xiao Ting for now. In the end, we decided to never marry him …
When Xiao Ting returned to the Ninth Prince's Estate, she went straight to the Beijing Garden.
Two fierce and malicious men still stood at the entrance of the Beijing Garden. When they saw Xiao Ting, they didn't even move a step.
Xiao Ting pondered for a long time, but in the end, she still lifted her leg and walked forward. Just as she was about to greet the two of them, who would have thought that the two of them would simultaneously face her?
Xiao Ting was so shocked that she jumped up high and retreated, and almost tripped on her skirt.
The two men looked at each other. They didn't know what was going on with her.
Xiao Ting saw that they did not have any evil intentions, she patted her chest to stabilise her mind and spoke calmly: "What are the two of you doing? You want to scare I to death so loudly? "
The two hulks scratched their heads and laughed but didn't say anything.
This was an order from the steward. If he saw an imperial concubine, he would use this signal to warn his master.
Ninth Prince was currently reading in his room, listening to their shouts and cries, he slowly stood at the window, and just happened to see Xiao Ting patted her chest, looking a little afraid.
He stood where he was and couldn't help but smile at the girl who had snuck in like a thief.
Xiao Ting was indeed like a thief. She couldn't help it, she was guilty, if she didn't purposely let Cheng Yunyi take her away yesterday, how could Cheng Yunyi have succeeded?
Without even mentioning whether or not Yuchi Xinghan would agree, perhaps even Ah Three, Ah Four wouldn't be able to pass this trial.
She had expected that with Ninth Prince's intelligence, she must have known of her little scheme a long time ago. Thus, when Butler Mu said that the Duke was worried about her, she didn't think anything of it.
It was impossible for this brat to find him. He must have predicted that she would come back by herself.
At this moment, she still lowered her head to beg for his forgiveness. Otherwise, she would feel guilty no matter what!
As for what Miss Xiao Liu is guilty of, you better not think too much.
After all, the Imperial Consort Xiao was no longer a beloved of others, her biggest backer had fallen, and she was now part of the royal family. If she lost the protection of the Ninth Prince, her future life would be miserable.
Didn't that mean that anyone could bully her? Furthermore, she couldn't beat anyone else, and only had money and no authority. She wouldn't be able to survive.
The Ninth Prince didn't know about Xiao Ting's little scheme. Even if he knew, he wouldn't mind;
As a result, when Xiao Ting entered, she saw Ninth Prince sitting in front of a desk with an indifferent expression, exactly as she had thought, without a hint of worry.
Ninth Prince was dressed in a cyan robe and his legs were crossed under the table. He was holding his head with one hand and flipping through the pages with the other.
At this moment, he was quiet and peaceful, like a still picture.
The side of his face was even more perfect than the front. Under the candlelight, it seemed even more dazzling.
immediately regained his senses after realizing what he was thinking. He knew that this man was not an ordinary person, what were you thinking, Xiao Ting.
"Hey, Your Highness, chenqie is back."
Xiao Ting had already been in for a long time, but she did not even give her a glance, so she could only come out and greet him.
Ninth Prince finally walked out from the flowing images. He stretched out his hand, leaned back on the chair and lightly nodded his head, "En, it's good that you are back."
Err, just this sentence, isn't this too perfunctory? Xiao Ting felt that Ninth Prince really didn't care about her.
According to normal thinking, even if he didn't scold her at this time, well, she was a direct descendant and wouldn't curse him out loud.
He should at least say a few words. If not, he should at least mention her a little. For example, he shouldn't be so willful next time.
It could be considered as comforting her for the whole day and night, for her restless heart!
Hehe...
But this was the only thing the other party said, and it caused Xiao Ting's mental script that she had thought about it several times to be stuck in his heart.
Not a word came out of his mouth.
After leaving the Beijing Garden, Xiao Ting was a little disappointed in her heart. She herself did not know what she was feeling, but hearing the Ninth Prince's simple words, she was still a little dissatisfied.
Inside the Multi Moon Academy, Hong Shao and Lv You saw her return and were anxiously waiting for her outside the courtyard.
When he saw her, Hong Shao immediately ran over. Before he even spoke, his tears had already started streaming down his face.
"Wuwu, wangfei, you've finally returned. You scared me to death. I thought I'd never see you again."
Although Lv You did not cry, her eyes were still red as she stood at the entrance of the courtyard. Compared to Hong Shao, however, her emotions were much more stable.
Xiao Ting's mood immediately became better, some of her injured heart was actually healed by the two maids.
"This is enough to scare you to death. With your cat's gall, you still dare to follow this wangfei. Mm, otherwise this wangfei will send you to the cemetery to train."
Xiao Ting facepalmed as she helped her to wipe away her tears.
"Princess."
Hong Shao pouted and called her, extremely dissatisfied.
"What?" I heard it! This time, it's not an accident, it's all because of that Yuchi Snow, he always speaks so well, and his martial arts are so high, but he couldn't even deal with a little thief. What can a weak girl like I do, she could only pitifully follow him. "
No matter how much Xiao Ting's story was concocted, Hong Shao did not have any sense of foresight. She directly said: "But this servant heard from the Young Master Yuchi that you voluntarily followed that thief."
"You, you don't want us servants anymore, do you? Are you trying to run away because you find us annoying?"
What about it?
I lived a tight life in my previous life, and now that I've finally lived a life of true nobility, with food coming and going and my hands stretching out, did she get her head caught by the door or did she get water from the water, so she wanted to escape?
"Did Yuchi Xinghan say that?"
Hong Shao and Lv You both nodded.
"Bastard, don't let me meet you again. Otherwise, if I have to beat him until he cries for his parents, how could I abandon you?" Don't listen to her nonsense, what's more, there's still the Small Ten here, how can I bear to part with my beloved little brother! "
As Xiao Ting spoke, she winked at Hong Shao, who turned around to see Xiao Xin pouting not far away with a face full of dissatisfaction. Then, her tender and tender lips almost bulged out into a ball, looking extremely angry.
Not only was he angry, he was also worried. Tears welled up in his eyes.
Looking at Xiao Ting, she felt both hurt and anxious to come over and talk to her. Her face was filled with grievance.
Chu Yun stood next to Xiao Xin with a ridiculing smile all over her face.
"Woman, if you come back two days later, Royal Father would have a reason to divorce you."
Xiao Ting patted the back of Hong Shao's hand, and walked forward with large strides, as she said, "Aren't you going to let me off as you wish?"
She casually carried Small Ten and wiped away his tears with one hand. "Oh my god, my cutie, what's wrong? Who made you angry. "
"Hmph, I don't want to bother with my sister anymore."
Small Ten tilted his head, avoiding her hand, but his fingers still tightly gripped onto the corner of Xiao Ting's clothes, not letting go.
"I don't want to bother with big sister. Big sister was really too pitiful last night. First, I was shocked by the empress, then I was forced to use a sword as a bargaining chip. I was so scared that I didn't sleep all night."
