Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Chu Xiaoran and Qingyu waited for Nan Jinming in the palace for half an hour and found that he had not returned yet. Chu Xiaoran was a little worried at this time.

This strange palace was full of dangers. Besides, this was Nan Jinming's first time here. If her identity was discovered by others, I'm afraid...

Chu Xiaoran looked around, looked at the letter paper on the table, raised his hand, and slapped his forehead in annoyance: "Why didn't I see it just now?"

Chu Xiaoran picked up the letter paper on the table and recognized that it was Nan Jinming's handwriting.

"This was written by the man yesterday. This time it is written in a very clear and elegant style."

When Chu Xiaoran heard the people around him praising his wife's beautiful handwriting, he immediately felt a little proud. Of course, his wife was both literary and martial, and was a rare talent in Ye Country.

"Princess, what's written on this letter?"

Chu Xiaoran read the contents of the letter carefully. It turned out to be from Nan Jinming, asking him to wait for her at the entrance of the palace at the south gate at noon, saying that she would not return to the palace.

But what on earth was she doing going out so early in the morning?

In fact, Chu Xiaoran did not bring anything into the palace. It can be said that he came to Yu Kingdom penniless and had nothing. Everything he had was purchased by the Prime Minister on the way.

Qingyu packed up the clothes given by the emperor, then came to Chu Xiaoran and said to him: "Princess, everything is packed, shall we set off?"

"Let's go now."

Chu Xiaoran looked around the palace in a faint voice and thought for a while. It seemed that there was nothing he needed to take with him. All his belongings were in Qingyu's hands, and he was also very unfamiliar with this palace.

When Chu Xiaoran arrived at the palace gate, he happened to meet Shangguan Yilin who had just returned from the emperor's visit. Looking at Qingyu who was carrying a lot of bags, he frowned slightly and asked, "Did the princess bring so many things to the palace?"

Qingyu quickly said, "These are all gifts from His Majesty to the princess. When we return to the princess's mansion today, we will naturally take them all back."

Shangguan Yilin looked a little unhappy and frowned: "His Majesty really loves the princess, to be able to give you so many things."

Shangguan Yilin looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him, and then looked at the bags in Qingyu's hands.

Chu Xiaoran was somewhat speechless, but still bowed respectfully: "I am sorry for bothering His Majesty Feng Jun these past few days. If you have time in the future, please come to the Princess's Mansion and have a seat."

Shangguan Yilin raised his chin and adjusted his sleeves very proudly: "My princess, you are too polite. His Majesty values ​​you so much, so I will naturally not say much. There are many of these things in the palace. His Majesty just randomly pointed out a few of them to you. My princess, please don't think too much."

Although Shangguan Yilin appeared to be very calm on the surface, he actually felt a bit alienated in his heart. He didn't like this nephew who suddenly appeared from the bottom of his heart, probably because of the tradition of Yu State.

Now that he has no children, Chu Xiaoran's existence is an immense calamity to him. This hidden danger will always exist. In his heart, he will only feel at peace when he dies.

Chu Xiaoran didn't know that Shangguan Yilin was actually thinking this way in his heart. He probably didn't want to deal with him here and just wanted to quickly meet up with Nan Jinming at the palace gate.

"I bid farewell to His Majesty Fengjun today. I will definitely visit you in the palace in the future."

"Princess, you can come whenever you want. After all, you are used to staying in this palace, right?"

No matter how naive Qingyu was, she couldn't help but think too much after hearing the conversation between the two. No wonder Shangguan Yilin tried every means to gather the palace maids around His Majesty when she was by His Majesty's side.

I guess he just wants to know how His Majesty is doing.

But what was he really dissatisfied with? His Majesty had never filled the harem over the years. There had only been him in the harem from the beginning to the end, and His Majesty had never changed his mind over the years.

Chu Xiaoran left Shangguan Yilin's palace with Qingyu without looking back. Now he understood why he had been so generous in giving up the palace for her to live in. It was because he wanted to gain a bigger place in Xiahou Chunan's heart. Only by occupying a bigger place would she feel more guilty towards him.

So why haven’t you had any children for all these years?

"I thought His Highness Feng Jun was kind-hearted, but I didn't expect he would be like this in private."

Qingyu muttered to herself while sitting in the carriage.

Chu Xiaoran was also attracted by his words. He turned his head and looked at him, frowning: "At that time, I heard you say that His Highness Feng Jun was a gentle person. Now seeing how aggressive he is towards me, I'm afraid that his previous gentleness was all an act to deceive people."

"Maybe, but it's okay. I'm about to escape from the palace and return to the Princess's Mansion with Her Royal Highness. I finally have something to look forward to in the future."

Chu Xiaoran was also amused by the lively Qingyu in front of him. He tilted his head and asked him curiously, "Is there no hope for life in the palace? Didn't you say that you were worry-free by His Majesty's side?"

"Even though I am carefree, look at His Majesty Fengjun's appearance. If I get closer to His Majesty, I'm afraid he will regard me as a thorn in his side."

"That's not the case. Judging from his appearance, he won't attack the favorites around His Majesty."

Qingyu's white teeth were about to break, how could she not hear the teasing hidden in Chu Xiaoran's words?

"If the princess says so, then I will go back."

"Hey, why are you so stingy? I was just joking with you, how could I let you go back?"

"I was just joking with the princess."

Qingyu suddenly blinked her eyes playfully. The palace was full of dangers. If she stayed there for too long, it would be difficult to escape.

The world is so big, why waste your youth in just one place?

When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, a figure suddenly rushed into the carriage. Qingyu screamed, and the next second someone covered her mouth from behind.

Qingyu widened her eyes in disbelief. Looking at Chu Xiaoran who had a calm face beside her, she naturally knew that the two must be accomplices.

"Woo..."

"Don't make any noise, or I'll snap your neck off."

Nan Jinming returned to his original voice, put his mouth close to Qingyu's ear, and spoke threatening words in a voice that only the three of them could hear.

Qingyu was so scared that she was shaking all over. She had never thought that her life would be in danger after leaving the palace. Why was the princess so calm? Did she want to kill herself too?

Nan Jinming was also amused by the trembling person in front of him. The carriage did not stop all the way and sped towards the outside of the palace.

The driver was hired temporarily from outside the palace, so he was able to enter and leave the palace freely to pick up guests who were visiting the palace.

"I won't talk. Can I keep my voice down?"

Nan Jinming pinched Qingyu's neck with his slender fingers, and Chu Xiaoran reached out and pinched Nan Jinming's wrist.

"Don't use so much force."

Qingyu felt the hands on her neck exerting a little force, as if trying to strangle her. Her mind went blank at that moment. Even after that day, when Qingyu thought of this scene, she still felt a little hostility towards Nan Jinming.

"I was just teasing him."

"Bad taste."

Chu Xiaoran stretched out his hand in annoyance, wanting Nan Jinming to put his hand down, but Nan Jinming was like a stubborn person, the more someone tried to persuade her, the more she would do the opposite.

"I didn't do anything?"

Qingyu was a little confused. He found that the princess seemed to be very familiar with this woman. But now his neck was being pinched. Could he ask her to put her hand down? This sense of crisis behind him made him very uncomfortable.

Nan Jinming had a slanted smile on his lips. He loosened his hand, grabbed Chu Xiaoran's fingers, pulled them towards his lips, and kissed them gently.

"What are you doing? Qingyu is still here."

Nan Jinming turned over and sat next to him, while Qingyu squatted in the corner tactfully. He was so unlucky to have met the two of them. Was he now a cannon fodder?

"I just wanted to tease him, and also to test whether he has any martial arts skills. The emperor is a careless person. He sent you a person and a waste at the same time."

Qingyu didn't like what she heard, so she raised her chin and wanted to retort, but when she saw the look Nan Jinming was giving her, her voice immediately became hoarse and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

"Why do you say that about Qingyu? He has been busy taking care of me these past few days. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard."

"Okay, okay, he worked hard to take care of you. I climbed the snowy mountains and was frozen in the cold to find you these days. I almost starved to death. I finally found you, and I had to pretend to be a man to dance. Is it easy for me?"

As Nan Jinming spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. His pitiful appearance almost broke Chu Xiaoran's heart.

Qingyu next to her didn't think so. She curled her lips and felt very speechless.

Is this woman born a green tea? She is so good at pretending, even better than men. Why doesn't she be a man, but a woman?

It's so disgusting, Princess, what is your relationship with him?

Qingyu was thinking about slandering them in her heart, but after arriving at the Princess's Mansion and hearing the two of them address each other, she felt like she had fallen into a wolf's den.
