After Xie Xi and his three companions came out of Zui Xiang Tower, they met the fifth prince, the sixth prince, and the third princess of the Rong Kingdom.
The Fifth Prince Rong Qianming had a smile on his face, as if he was bathed in spring breeze: "What a coincidence, I actually ran into you all here, did you...just come out from inside?"
Fan Yu, the crown prince of Fan State, nodded calmly: "I didn't expect that you would come out."
After saying this, Rong Qianming began to explain, "Originally, I was planning to stay in the courtyard and rest early, but Sixth Prince insisted on coming out. As his elder brother, I couldn't spoil his fun, so I brought him and Third Prince out together."
Sixth Prince Rong Qianxu: ???
It was clearly the Third Princess who proposed this, so why do you have to put the blame on him?
Besides, when was he going to make trouble?
Rong Qianxu looked at his third sister with some grievance, as if he wanted to get her comfort.
however--
Rong Qianluo nodded in agreement and began to scold him: "Sixth brother, it's not that I have to scold you, it's just that you are too noisy. If you make trouble again tomorrow, you should just follow behind Prince Xi, so as not to give me a headache."
As he spoke, Rong Qianluo rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Rong Qianxu: “…”
Very good, in order to keep him by the side of the Crown Prince of Li, the fifth brother and the third sister started talking nonsense!
Rong Qianxu rolled his eyes in his heart, but he held it in and said nothing.
Rong Qianming was very satisfied with the "good behavior" of his sixth brother. After a quick glance at him, he said to the Crown Prince of Li: "I wonder where Crown Prince Xi is going. Can he take us with him?"
"We are new to Shengjing, we are unfamiliar with the place, and we don't know what new things there are in the capital..."
"Okay, let's go for a walk together."
Xie Xi lowered his eyes, hiding the expression in his eyes. He didn't know what the prince and princess of Rong country were planning.
As his father had instructed him before, Xie Xi's task was to keep an eye on these people. Now that they came to him in person, there was naturally no way of turning them away.
The Crown Prince of Fan and the Seventh Princess of Fan had no objection to the joining of the three people from Rong State.
As for Zhai Chengwen, as the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, he would not have any other ideas.
A group of seven people were walking on the street. Each of them had a good-looking appearance and was extremely noble. They instantly attracted the attention of many people, especially the girls who were waiting to be married. They wanted to follow them and ask them which family the young man was from and whether he had a wife.
"Don't look at him anymore. Isn't the man walking behind him the second son of the Zhai family, Zhai Chengwen?"
A woman in green reached out and grabbed the little sister who was trying to follow him without any reserve. She said helplessly, "If you like him, then feel free to send a matchmaker to the Zhai Mansion. As far as I know, Madam Zhai is worried about the marriage of the second son of the Zhai family."
"If you dare to send someone to my house, you might actually have the good fortune to become the second young master's wife of the Zhai family!"
When the little sister heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her round face flushed as she said, "Are you telling the truth? If this is true, then I will go back home and tell my parents about this, and let them take care of it for me."
The woman in green nodded solemnly and said, "Aru, you know I never lie, let alone you. Believe me, as long as you want, you can definitely become the second young lady of the Zhai Mansion!"
"Okay then, I'll go home now!"
The young sister hurriedly said that they would make an appointment tomorrow, and then hurried home with her maid.
However, the maid following behind her felt that this matter was unreliable. She looked at her very plump young lady and sighed secretly in her heart, wondering whether the second young master Zhai would like her young lady.
……
Zhai Chengwen, who was still accompanying the princes and princesses, had no idea that someone was eyeing the position of the wife of the second young master of the Zhai family, causing him to not dare to set foot in the Zhai Mansion for some time.
"I see that the people in Shengjing are living well."
Along the way, the Prince of Fan couldn't help but sigh that his father was right. Now the Kingdom of Li has become stronger, and under the governance of Emperor Li, the people are living a better life.
In this regard, Fan State still did not do enough.
Xie Xi chuckled: "Now that the world is peaceful and there is no war, the people's lives will naturally be better."
"Prince Xi has a point."
However, the Prince of Fan State heard another meaning in his words. Li State did not advocate war. If other countries did not attack Li State, Li State would not be the first to start a war.
The Prince of Fan State finally let go of his anxious heart. He curled his lips and smiled silently.
The Seventh Princess of Fan State had no idea what they were talking about, but found it a bit boring, so she couldn't help but pull Rong Qianluo over to gossip.
Rong Qianming and Rong Qianxu looked at each other. They also understood what the Crown Prince of Li meant. Rong Qianming smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the people of my Rong country are also living quite well. If the Crown Prince Xi wants to visit Rong country someday, I will definitely accompany him."
Hearing the probing tone in the words of the Fifth Prince of Rong, Xie Xi said calmly, "Fifth Prince, you are joking. If there is nothing urgent, I will not leave Li."
Rong Qianming was suddenly speechless, and the smile on his face was about to disappear.
Rong Qianxu didn't say anything. Anyway, with his fifth brother supporting him in front, it was not his turn to speak.
A faint smile flashed across the eyes of Prince Fan.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, the Crown Prince of Fan State was silent for a moment before speaking: "By the way, I heard that Crown Prince Xi plans to go to the hunting ground tomorrow. I wonder if the two princes of Rong State are interested?"
Originally, this should have been said by Crown Prince Xi, but seeing that the Fifth Prince of Rong had just tested Crown Prince Xi and seemed to have displeased him, and not knowing whether Crown Prince Xi would bring up this matter again, he took the initiative to say it out loud in an attempt to ease the situation.
After all, if Prince Xi only takes him and the Seventh Princess to the hunting ground tomorrow, once the two princes of Rong Kingdom find out, they will definitely have other ideas.
"Hunting ground?"
Rong Qianming turned his eyes to look at the Crown Prince of Fan State, then looked at Crown Prince Xi, with a look of understanding flashing across his eyes. He asked, "Will Crown Prince Yu go?"
Prince Fan: "Of course."
Rong Qianming: "Then let's go and see it for ourselves. What does Prince Xi think?"
Xie Xi's expression was calm: "I have no objection."
"Okay, then it's settled. Let's go to the hunting ground together tomorrow."
Rong Qianming said.
Rong Qianxu suddenly said, "Since we are going to the hunting ground tomorrow, we should go back early to rest today."
Rong Qianluo, who was a few steps behind, heard this and hurried forward, "But are we going back?"
Rong Qianluo couldn't wait to return to the mansion. She never expected that the seventh princess of Fan State would be such a chatterbox! !
When it comes to gossip, she kept chattering in her ears and she was almost unable to bear it. She didn't know why Emperor Fan sent such a talkative princess to celebrate Emperor Li's birthday!
Isn’t Emperor Fan afraid that the Seventh Princess of Fan State will say something inappropriate at the palace banquet, which will cause big trouble for the State of Fan?
However, Rong Qianluo did not know that the Seventh Princess of Fan State was the only one of marriageable age. The princesses before the Seventh Princess all already had princes-in-law and could no longer marry into the royal family of Li State.
Therefore, the quota for marriage between the two countries fell on the seventh princess of Fan State.
She had no way to refuse her father, so she could only follow her brother, the Crown Prince, to the Kingdom of Li to select a suitable prince for the Kingdom of Li.
"It's getting late, it's time to go back."
Rong Qianming said.
Rong Qianluo couldn't help but urge: "Go, go, go back and have a good rest."
"it is good."
Rong Qianxu had something to say to his fifth brother, so after saying goodbye to Crown Prince Xi, he took his third sister and fifth brother back home.
"Seventh Imperial Sister, it's getting late, we should go back."
Seeing this, the Crown Prince of Fan State also brought his seventh sister and followed them back.
Zhai Chengwen was responsible for the escort.
Xie Xi was thinking about Lu Xiaoxiao, so he returned to the Prince's Mansion.
After returning to the study in the front yard to deal with today's memorials, Xie Xi took Mu Qing to Jingxiang Courtyard.
The news of his return home had not spread everywhere, and Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know about it yet. She was still staying in her room, concentrating on sewing underwear for the prince. She didn't know how to embroider patterns, she could only cut cloth, and had to ask Chen Lu to help her.
But even so, Lu Xiaoxiao worked hard for most of the day but still couldn't successfully sew the prince's inner garment. It was really too difficult!
After hearing that the concubine was the best at sewing clothes, after driving all the Lu family members out, Lu Xiaoxiao went to Qingshu Courtyard and asked the concubine for advice for most of the day. After watching, she felt that she had learned how to do it.
However, when she returned to Jingxiangyuan and started working, she suddenly felt that her hands were useless. She started to get confused as soon as she picked up the needle and thread. It didn't take long before the needle and thread got tangled together and started fighting...
Lu Xiaoxiao struggled for a long time before she finally untied the ball of needle and thread.
Looking at the weird fabrics on the table, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a little worried. She was really not good at needlework.
You can do it at a glance, but it will be useless if you move.
"Chenlu, how many days do you think it will take me to finish sewing this tunic?"
Hearing this, Chen Lu showed an embarrassment on her face. In fact, in her opinion, sewing an undergarment was the simplest task, but her master was not good at it and kept going back and forth.
When she saw this, she couldn't help but want to sew one for her master herself.
But the master wouldn't let her, and insisted that it had to be made by her own hands, only then would it be considered a token of her love.
Chen Lu had to temporarily stop thinking about it. "Master, it's getting late now. If you keep staring at the needle and thread, you might hurt your eyes. Master, you have done a very good job today. In my opinion, you may be able to finish it in two days."
Lu Xiaoxiao was suspicious: "Really?"
Chen Lu nodded heavily: "Yes, Master."
"..."
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little skeptical, but she felt in her heart that Chen Lu would not lie to her. If Chen Lu said two days, then it must be two days!
"Okay, I'll do it tomorrow."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of Chen Lu's expression and found it a little funny. She couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, Chen Lu, I won't embarrass you anymore. You can go out first."
"I don't know when His Highness will return home. Go and ask."
"Yes, master."
Chen Lu responded and turned and left.
Who would have thought that as soon as Chen Lu walked out of the room, she would see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking towards her.
Baizhi, Baizhu and Chen Wu were already kneeling in the yard, but they didn't say anything.
Chen Lu was just thinking about kneeling down to salute, but she saw the Crown Prince shaking his head at her, as if he didn't want to disturb the people who were still in the room.
But etiquette cannot be abolished.
Chen Lu quietly walked forward a few steps and knelt on the path beside her.
Xie Xi asked Mu Qing to wait outside the yard, and he walked over the threshold of the room alone and went in.
He raised his eyes and saw Lu Xiaoxiao sitting at the table with her back to him.
Lu Xiaoxiao was still packing up her needlework and putting away the strange cloth into a box nearby. When she heard the noise, she subconsciously asked, "Chenlu, has His Highness returned?"
[I don't know what His Highness is busy with today. I haven't seen His Highness for the whole day, so I'm not used to it. ]
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.
[This morning, His Highness said that he would come to Jingxiangyuan. I don’t know if His Highness still remembers this. I originally thought that I would talk to His Highness about the Lu family when he came...]
[Come to think of it, if the Lu family hadn’t suddenly come to my house today, I really wouldn’t have remembered their existence…]
Hearing this, Xie Xi frowned slightly, and his originally gentle expression suddenly turned cold.
Not long after Lu Xiaoxiao entered the mansion, Xie Xi sent people to investigate everything related to the Lu family.
Later, Xie Xi learned that the Lu family wanted to sell Lu Xiaoxiao to a brothel to pay off their gambling debts, so he sent someone to warn the Lu family and left them some silver to pay off their gambling debts, as if they had already sold Lu Xiaoxiao to the Prince's Mansion.
No matter how Lu Xiaoxiao lives in the Prince's Mansion in the future, it has nothing to do with the Lu family. The Lu family cannot use blood ties to cause trouble for Lu Xiaoxiao, and they cannot go to see Lu Xiaoxiao, lest they make Lu Xiaoxiao sad...
It seems that the Lu family did not listen to a word of his previous warning.
"Little."
After calling out, Xie Xi walked forward. He lowered his head, concealing the slightly cold expression on his face. When he looked at Lu Xiaoshi, his eyes softened instantly, "I'm back."
"Your Highness!"
After hearing His Highness's voice, Lu Xiaoxiao turned around quickly.
However, she did not notice that His Highness was standing behind her, and as a result, she accidentally bumped into His Highness' arms.
"Your Highness is finally back!"
Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes, her sparkling almond-shaped eyes staring straight at Xie Xi, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, have you had dinner yet? If not, I will send someone to the kitchen to let them know and ask them to send some food over."
"I have already had dinner."
Seeing her smile, Xie Xi felt relieved. He reached out his hand, gently pinched her cheek, and asked in a gentle voice: "I heard that the Lu family came to the Prince's Mansion today. What do they want to do?"
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the prince would ask about this as soon as he came back. The prince was really well-informed. She nodded honestly: "They did come, but later, they were driven out by the concubine sister."
