Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

Chu Xiaoran picked up the teacup on the table and made a toast to Shi Yinsheng in front of him.

"Xiao Ran would like to offer a glass of tea to the Prime Minister instead of wine."

Shi Yinsheng looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him, and he was indeed as free and easy-going as his father.

Shi Yinsheng picked up the teacup on the table and returned the favor: "Your Highness, you are too polite. Since we have already agreed, we should not betray our allies when we are on the same front."

Shi Yinsheng had just confronted the emperor in the court in the morning and came to the princess's residence in the afternoon. Although he did not come in public but went in through the back door, he could still be betrayed by others.

Nan Jinming stood beside a pillar not far away, with his arms crossed in front of his chest and placed next to the pillar, chewing a candy in his mouth.

"Master, why don't you go forward?"

Yan Boxi was sitting at the railing nearby with a fruit plate in his hand. The young master and the prime minister were sitting in the pavilion, warming themselves by the fire and drinking tea, looking relaxed and comfortable.

Nan Jinming glanced at him unhappily. Why did he feel that he was of no use here?

Why does Shi Yinsheng always pester Xiaoran all day long? Didn't she come just yesterday? She comes again today.

"Go up and listen to what they are saying, and come back and tell me later."

Yan Boxi shook his head, indicating that he would never do such a thing.

"You can just sit next to them and save yourself the trouble, right?"

As Yan Boxi spoke, he threw a grape into his mouth. Sure enough, the things in the cold storage were still fresh, and tasted very rich and fruity.

"Forget it, just forget it if you don't want to go."

Nan Jinming suddenly felt a little depressed. His current status was not worthy of Chu Xiaoran, who was of authentic royal blood.

Just watching them chatting and laughing from afar, Nan Jinming felt very uncomfortable. He had not yet penetrated the palace, and always felt a little aggrieved.

"Prime Minister, just send someone to deliver a letter to inform us. You don't have to come in person anymore."

Chu Xiaoran was sitting right opposite Nan Jinming. He happened to see Nan Jinming scratching her head in annoyance. He probably guessed what she was thinking, so he said these words to Shi Yinsheng.

"Your Highness, are you afraid that Miss Murong will get jealous? Or that she misunderstood our relationship?"

Chu Xiaoran's eyes became alert. Looking at Shi Yinsheng in front of him, the corners of his mouth curled up: "Prime Minister, you are too suspicious. Jin Ming is not such a person. If you have nothing to do today, please go back."

Shi Yinsheng didn't expect that he would order him to expel her so quickly. He was mainly worried that the emperor would have some evidence against Chu Xiaoran in the next few days, and the alliance between the two might be severed.

"Your Highness, you should hide Miss Murong well. His Majesty has already arranged a marriage for you today. If he knows that you have already cleared the matter, I'm afraid Miss Murong will have a hard time."

Shi Yinsheng's words had hidden meanings. Although he had a smile on his face, he soon turned cold as ice.

"what do you mean?"

Chu Xiaoran's expression changed. He felt that Shi Yinsheng had helped him just now, so he was polite to her. Is she planning to take advantage of him now?

"It's nothing, Your Highness, just be careful."

Chu Xiaoran stood up and didn't want to continue talking to Shi Yinsheng.

"Since the Prime Minister came in through the back door, you should go out through the back door as well to avoid suspicion. Someone show him off."

"Your Highness is truly heartless."

Shi Yinsheng stood up, patted his clothes, stroked his long sleeves, and walked into the snow.

"Why is she gone?"

When Nan Jinming saw Shi Yinsheng leaving, he quickly came to the pavilion. Chu Xiaoran in front of him was still sitting calmly on the left drinking tea, and the pastries on the table had not been touched.

"There's nothing to say, so I'll let her go back first."

Nan Jinming sat down, looked at the calm Chu Xiaoran in front of him, and asked curiously: "What did you just say?"

"You were sitting nearby and didn't you hear it?"

"How can I hear you from such a distance?"

Nan Jinming pouted aggrievedly, picked up the pastry on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and then looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of him like a little rabbit, hoping that he could say it himself.

Shi Yinsheng was so close to him just now that he almost couldn't help but come over and throw this man out.

"It's just that at the court meeting this morning, His Majesty wanted to arrange a marriage for me."

"But no news has come out."

"I was persuaded by Shi Yinsheng, because my father left because of the arranged marriage, and ended up like that."

When Chu Xiaoran said this, Nan Jinming was a little confused. He still had to investigate the past of the eldest prince.
