"From my perspective, Lord Qing is indeed not as unapproachable as the rumors in the capital say." Mingzhu interrupted.

"Oh?" Qing Chang'an looked at the master and servant in disbelief, "There is such a rumor about me?"

Xie Ying smiled slightly. Of course, outstanding men have long been spotted by the noble ladies in the capital.

How could he not know?

However, this man has never been married, so many noble ladies can only turn to other options.

Mingzhu ventured, "Of course, Lord Qing is young and promising, so he naturally doesn't know that you have a very good reputation in the eyes of the noble ladies in the capital." It's just that you are not easy to approach.

Qing Chang'an saw the hidden meaning behind Mingzhu's words and frowned, "These are all rumors. If I were really that good..." He sighed and glanced at Xie Ying briefly.

If it was really that good, he tried to meet her by chance several times, but she never saw him in her eyes.

"It must be a rumor. At least Miss Xie never recognized me and has no impression of me." Qing Chang'an said lightly.

Xie Ying smiled slightly, "Master Qing is too modest. My father and elder brother all know you. My father often uses you to inspire us brothers and sisters."

"Right, Mingzhu?" she looked at Mingzhu and asked.

Mingzhu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, what my lady said is true."

Qing Chang'an didn't expect this and was filled with emotion.

The wind and snow were so strong that they were shivering even in the carriage.

Qing Changan said: "If Miss Xie doesn't mind, why don't you close the carriage door?" There was still a maid there to avoid suspicion.

Xie Ying nodded.

About an hour later, Mingzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look. The sky and the earth were covered in white. The snow was getting thicker and the carriage was moving even slower.

She frowned and said, "What should I do? When can I get to the capital?"

Qing Changan comforted him, "Don't worry, I will definitely send you back first."

Mingzhu was so grateful that she said many words of thanks.

Xie Ying was also very grateful.

She suddenly thought, regardless of the affairs between her elder brother and the emperor, is Qing Chang'an a good choice?

As I was thinking, how could I write about Xiao Chen's calm and cold look?

There was the sound of horse hooves, and suddenly Xie Zheng called out, "Butler Zhou."

Xie Ying was stunned. Was it Butler Zhou who came to look for her?

The carriage stopped.

"Xie Zheng? Where is the eldest lady?" It was the voice of Butler Zhou.

Mingzhu pushed open the carriage door, lifted the curtain, and greeted the butler Zhou and four or five other guards from the Duke's Mansion who were riding horses.

Xie Ying also stuck his head out. Xie Zhengzheng was explaining, "The carriage got stuck in a mud pit on the road, so we had to abandon it. Fortunately, we met Lord Qing on the road and he gave us a ride."

Qing Chang'an followed Xie Ying out of the carriage, and Butler Zhou quickly bowed to Qing Chang'an to express his gratitude.

After some greetings, seeing that the wind and snow were getting strong, they had no choice but to continue riding in Qing Mansion's carriage and continue heading towards the capital.

Although it was difficult, fortunately, we finally returned home after an hour.

When getting off the carriage, Qing Chang'an hesitated to speak, and Xie Ying asked, "Does your Excellency Qing have any instructions?"

He wanted to ask if he could ask her out for a spring outing and flower viewing in the future.

But he just helped her and immediately asked for a meeting, which seemed to be anxious, even like he was forcing her to do him a favor.

"See you later." He said with a faint smile.

Thank you Weiwei bowed and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Lord Qing. I will definitely come to thank you one day."

"Serious words."

She bowed again, and then she and Mingzhu walked back home arm in arm.

Butler Zhou also bowed to Qing Chang'an, "Thank you, Lord Qing."

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor."

Qing Chang'an couldn't see Xie Ying anymore, so he returned to the carriage. Ada drove the carriage away.

When Xie Ying and others returned home, Xie Yanheng, Ou Yurong, Xie Jiaojiao, and Xie Yunce came forward to comfort them.

"I was scared to death. It was snowing so heavily..." Ou Yurong heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her daughter was fine.

Xie Yunce said, "Sister, you should bring a few more people with you when you go out next time. If I hadn't met Lord Qing this time, who knows how much suffering I would have endured."

Xie Ying looked at Xie Yunce, who also went home today.

Looking at his mature appearance, he is only a few hours older than Xie Jiaojiao, but his height, speech and behavior are much more mature than Xie Jiaojiao.

"Sister?" I was talking to her, but why was he staring at me for so long?

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and joked, "Why is it Lord Qing? Why is it Lord Qing?"

"You're so talkative." Xie Ying glanced at her.

"Aren't you allowed to ask? My sister and Lord Qing have a deep bond."

"What do you know, you little bitch?"

"Mother, look at my sister, she beat me—"

The whole family laughed happily.

Xie Yanheng called Butler Zhou over and gave him a few instructions, "Remember to bring a valuable gift with you to the Prime Minister's residence to express your gratitude when the time comes."

"Yes, Master, rest assured, I will definitely get it done."

The servant brought ginger soup.

Xie Ying drank a bowl and returned to his own courtyard.

Mingzhu helped her take a bath and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

"Just tell me whatever you want to say." If I don't say anything, the little girl will get upset!

Mingzhu said, "From what I have seen, Lord Qing is good-looking, talented, humble and polite. Miss, are you really not going to consider him?"

Xie Ying was speechless and sighed, "Mother and the others have already sent someone back to the Qing Mansion. We'll talk about it in a few years."

"Let's talk about it in a few years. Lord Qing is probably already 25 or 26 years old. How can he wait for Miss for so long——"

"I'm not asking him to wait."

"The way Lady Keqing looks at the young lady clearly shows her love for her."

Xie Ying was stunned, "Like? How can you say that? Just because someone helps you means you like him? Even if it was someone else, he would help in that situation with his character."

Mingzhu disagreed, "That's not necessarily true."

"Or does the young lady really like His Royal Highness Prince Chen?"

Xiao Chen——

When I think of him, I feel inexplicably panicked. I am both thinking about him and afraid of him.

What does it matter if a person is good-looking, if he is a person without love.

He was as cold as a rock, and it was possible that things would turn out just like in the dream, where she threw herself at him and he would reject her with indifference.

The heavy snow lasted until New Year's Eve.

The palace was decorated with lights and lanterns, and the same was true outside the palace.

Xiao Yao hosted a banquet for the ministers in Wende Hall, but ended it early. Then, she followed Xie Yunchu to Duke Xie's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor." Xie Yanheng took the lead in paying his respects.

Ou Yurong, Xie Yunce, Xie Jiaojiao and others knelt down to greet them.

Xiao Yao personally helped Xie Yanheng up, followed by Ou Yurong, "Today, there is no distinction between the king and the subject. Just treat me as the wife of the Xie family."

Since both the Emperor and the Empress were not around, what was wrong with her accompanying Yun Chu to the Duke's Mansion to have some fun?

Xie Yanheng had his meal in the palace, and then went home to have dinner with his wife and children. Now, even the emperor came.

Although there is no need to distinguish between the ruler and the ruled, who can really let go?

During the banquet.

Xie Ying looked at the emperor and his elder brother from time to time. It seemed that they did not have the kind of relationship that Chujiu had said - it didn't seem that good.

Xie Ying found a time to leave and found Chujiu who was chatting with Mingzhu.

"Oh, Miss, why do you look at me like that--" Chujiu felt a little guilty.
