The wealthy tycoon wants to be the white moonlight of the little village girl

"Let him in."

King Huainan said gracefully, "It just so happens that we haven't had tea for a long time."

When Jiang Yaonian came in with a frown, he happened to see the two of them drinking tea face to face. His heart sank and his face immediately turned ugly.

Qing He seemed to be unaware of it. She smiled at him and said in a clear and pleasant voice, "Are you done with your work? Come over and try some of the prince's tea!"

Before he could say anything, the King of Huainan came over with a beaming smile and said, "Yao Nian, you haven't come to sit with me for a long time. I heard that you often play Cuju with the grandson of the King of Pingyang and the Duke of Xuan recently? Why didn't you invite me? Don't forget next time!" Then he enthusiastically said, "Come and sit! This is the latest Golden Cloud Green Bird Tongue. My brother gave me some as a reward. Come and have a taste!"

Jiang Yaonian said coldly, "No, I'll come visit you another day. I won't bother you today!" Then he looked at Qinghe and said, "Your Majesty's time is precious. Let's go."

Before Qing He could answer, the King of Huainan hurriedly said, "Don't be busy! I happen to be free today. I have asked the kitchen to prepare dinner. You can stay here and eat together..."

Jiang Yaonian interrupted immediately, "No, we have things to do when we get back, so we won't bother you today!"

"Oh, how about this, since you still have important things to do, please have dinner here before leaving. I still have some things I want to ask you for help. In the evening, I will go to the palace to play chess with my brother, so I can take you back..."

With every word the Prince of Huainan said, Jiang Yaonian's face became uglier, and by the end his face was almost cloudy!

What made Jiang Yaonian even more angry was that Qing He actually followed suit and said, "Since the prince is so kind, why don't we finish our meal before leaving?"

Jiang Yaonian was almost pissed off by this naive and ignorant wife! Not only did she not show any respect at all, but she even sabotaged him in front of outsiders!

He tried to suppress the anger in his heart and said with all his strength: "Go home and eat. Grandmother still wants to talk to you about something."

This trick worked very well. Qing He was slightly surprised when she heard it and asked, "Grandmother is looking for me?" Without waiting for Jiang Yaonian to answer, she stood up and said to the King of Huainan with an apologetic look, "Your Highness, I'm really sorry. I have something to do at home. I have to go back first! You are welcome to visit the Jiang Mansion another day when you are free."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal!" Prince Huainan responded gracefully.

"Sorry for disturbing you today, bye!"

Qinghe was still being polite, but Jiang Yaonian had already taken her hand and strode out.

King Huainan stood at the door, watching the two people pulling and tugging each other as they gradually walked away. He couldn't help but smile knowingly, then turned back to the living room and asked a screen, "How is it? Did you see it clearly? How do you feel?"

After a long while, a female voice behind the screen said, "It's OK, but I don't know how he is."

The woman had a pleasant voice and didn't sound very old.

King Huainan found a chair and sat down, and couldn't help but sighed: "Don't worry about this. No matter his family background, character, ability or appearance, if Jiang Yaonian is ranked second, no one dares to be ranked first! Otherwise, Jingying wouldn't pester him again and again. However, the only drawback is... Alas, there is nothing we can do about it!"

The woman behind the screen said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, as long as she is happy..."

Outside the palace.

Jiang Yaonian pulled Qinghe into the car without saying a word.

Qing He complained, "Hey, didn't I tell you that next time you are not allowed to pull me around in front of outsiders? It's not decent, okay?"

Jiang Yaonian frowned unhappily, looked at her coldly and said, "Then do you remember what I told you?"

Qing He was startled, "What?"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yaonian couldn't help but get very angry and said angrily: "Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said to you last time? How come you sneaked here when I wasn't watching you! Didn't I tell you last time to stay away from him? What, have you forgotten everything? If I came a little later today, would you have stayed here to finish dinner and let him take you home?"

Qing He said angrily, "She is my elder and she has something to ask me. I came to see what's wrong. Don't I have the freedom to go out?"

"Elder?" Jiang Yaonian was so angry that he almost laughed!

He sneered and said disdainfully, "If he were your relative, I would have no problem with you saying that, but he is a 40-year-old playboy who has not yet married. Do you think he is your elder? Does he treat you as his junior? Are you confused by his extraordinary appearance and can't figure out the situation?"

Qing He was also angry, and looked at him with contempt and said, "You are thinking too much! They just asked me to appreciate the screen, and they didn't do anything excessive. Maybe they will ask me to help with embroidery in the future! What's wrong with me going to deal with such a potential important customer?"

Jiang Yaonian said coldly: "You think it's nice, but I'm afraid others don't think so!"

Qinghe was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she turned her head and looked out the window without saying anything.

Seeing her stubborn look, Jiang Yaonian had to suppress his anger and said, "Even if he really wants you to embroider, you are not allowed to go! If you think it's boring to stay at home, you can learn any music, chess, calligraphy or painting. I will ask a teacher to teach you tomorrow! But you are not allowed to go out again, especially to the Huainan Palace! Also, if you want to appreciate those landscape painting screens, we have them at home. You don't have to go out specially. I will have someone take you to the storeroom tomorrow!"

Qing He listened quietly without saying a word. After a while, she suddenly said, "I don't want to see Jing Ying!"

"What?" Jiang Yaonian was stunned and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What does this have to do with Jingying?"

Qing He said unhappily: "Of course it matters! I went to the Huainan Palace today because I didn't want to see her and you around! Unless you chase her away now, I won't stay at home every day!"

Jiang Yaonian was stunned at first, then frowned helplessly and said, "She and Yuying came to our house on the orders of the Concubine Dowager and the Emperor. They came to pray for the Concubine Dowager, not to hang out and visit relatives. How can you ask me to chase them away?"

Qing He turned her head away and said unhappily, "Then I don't care! I get angry when I see her!"

Jiang Yaonian couldn't help but sighed... After a moment of silence, he said patiently, "Don't be unreasonable, okay? She doesn't live in the same courtyard with you, so how could she make you angry? If you don't want to see her, you don't have to go to the upper room at ordinary times. I will tell my grandmother then, and you don't have to go there every morning and evening during this period of time."

Qing He looked at him in disbelief and said, "Why can she go to the upper room but I can't? Oh, I have to hide from her? Whose house is this? Why don't you tell her to stay in the house and not run around? Why do you restrict me and not let me go to greet my grandmother?"

Jiang Yaonian looked at her in disbelief and said, "She is not my wife, why should I restrict her? Am I going to order a daughter of a royal family who has nothing to do with me not to go out every day? She is here to pray, not to go to jail, how do you want me to tell her? Besides, she and Yuying came here by imperial order, who am I to order them? Do you want to be a widow, so you let me do something that will cost me my life if I disobey the imperial order?"

This was originally a knot in Qinghe's heart. She didn't understand why Jiang Yaonian agreed to let Jingying come home when he obviously hated her too. Now after Jiang Yaonian's reminder, she finally understood, but she was too embarrassed to admit her mistake, so she had to say stubbornly: "That's not what I meant, don't wrong me!"

Jiang Yaonian snorted coldly, and said with disdain, "What do you mean by deliberately giving me this kind of difficult question?"

Qing He thought about it, took a step back and said, "I just don't want to see her! Since she can't leave, then I can leave, right? I'll go home and stay for a while during this time!"

Jiang Yaonian looked at her coldly and said, "Why, do you want to live at home so that you can go to the palace to drink tea and chat at any time, and appreciate the screen?"
