At this moment, Ye Zheng, who was standing on the other side, was about to come over with tea, but when he heard Zhu Xuan talking to Ran Xiaoyu like this, he was completely stunned.
As for Ran Xiaoyu, her brows were frowned into a big pimple.
Looks like he ate a fly.
"His Royal Highness, what do you mean?"
"Hey, I don't have any other intentions. I just saw that Miss Xiaoyu has a bad appetite, so I brought you some delicious food."
"..."
"You know, seasickness is not a comfortable thing. Miss Xiaoyu is also responsible for taking care of the little princess. If you feel unwell, won't you hurt the little princess?"
"..."
These words are naturally high-sounding, and no one can fault them.
But Ran Xiaoyu frowned even tighter.
Because, subconsciously, she looked to the side, and saw Ye Zheng, who was standing blankly looking at her, lowered his head at this moment, and after a while, turned around and walked to the side.
"..."
Can't help clenching his teeth.
Although I said before that I didn't want to talk to that person for a whole year, but now—
She wants to drag that guy over and play for a whole year!
Looking at His Highness Prince Ning with a pleasant smile in front of her, and then at the plate of delicate pastries, Ran Xiaoyu said coldly, "I don't eat sweets."
"..."
This time, Zhu Xuan was also taken aback.
You know, an ordinary court lady would not speak to a prince like this.
It's too late for them to flatter and cuddle, after all, Zhu Xuan is also a young and handsome man, if he can follow him, he will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life, and enjoy the glory and wealth inexhaustibly.
However, Ran Xiaoyu was not polite.
Although Zhu Xuan has met many women, he has never seen a girl who is so cold and even dismissive of him, so he was stunned.
Ran Xiaoyu said coldly: "Your Highness King Ning can eat by himself."
After finishing speaking, he hugged Xiao Anping and coaxed her gently.
Although he received a cold reception, it was not awkward for Zhu Xuan to roam among the flowers. Just at this time, Nan Yan came over to sit down, and he got up and left.
While walking, he turned his head to look at Ran Xiaoyu.
With a smile on the corner of Nanyan's mouth, he said, "For the past two days, His Royal Highness Ning Wang has been dangling in front of your eyes."
"..."
Ran Xiaoyu didn't speak, but turned to look to the side.
Ye Zheng's figure was nowhere to be found.
She gritted her teeth: "This useless thing!"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that you didn't want to talk to him for a year? Why are you looking for him now?"
"Who said I was a year—"
Ran Xiaoyu opened her mouth subconsciously, but said halfway, she immediately said: "Who said I was looking for him?!"
Nan Yan laughed.
Just smiling, Ye Zheng came back again.
There were two people behind him, who turned out to be the waiter who was called from a restaurant not far away, and directly brought them several dishes of delicacies and a jug of wine.
Ye Zheng said, "Eat this."
"..."
Looking at these things, Nan Yan couldn't help laughing.
Just now she had been watching from the side, thinking that Ye Zheng was going to "retreat in the face of difficulties", but unexpectedly, he was advancing instead of retreating.
On the contrary, although his status is not as noble as His Royal Highness King Ning, in fact, as Zhu Feng's confidant, his future may not be as good as Zhu Xuan's.
Don't be ashamed of yourself.
At this moment, he smiled and said to Ran Xiaoyu: "You don't like sweet food, then eat some of these dishes, just out of the pan."
"What's the use of coming now? What did you do just now?"
"I, I'm going to-"
"Hmph! I won't talk to you in the next year!"
After finishing speaking, Ran Xiaoyu left him and walked away.
Ye Zheng hurriedly followed, and said anxiously: "Why did you become the next year again? Didn't you say before that you won't talk to me as long as one year?"
"Shut up!"
Nan Yan sat in the pergola, leaning back and forth with laughter.
Just at this time, Zhu Feng also came over and sat down, looked at her, and said, "What is it that makes you laugh so happily?"
Nan Yan told him what happened just now.
Zhu Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Said: "Ye Zheng, this stinky brat, when he encounters such a thing, he has more eyes."
After speaking, he looked at the steaming food on the table.
Nan Yan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Ning's treatment of Xiaoyu—couldn't be true."
"This—" Zhu Feng glanced at Zhu Xuan, who was talking and laughing with a few young maids not far away, and said lightly, "I don't know."
"..."
"This younger brother of mine, lingers in the flowers, unrestrained."
"..."
"Even Emperor Gao can't control it."
"..."
"If he really likes Ran Xiaoyu—"
Nan Yan immediately said: "Your Majesty, who will you help?"
"help?"
Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "Do you think I will still take care of such things?"
Nan Yan said: "Of course the emperor is concerned with state affairs. However, the concubine is just thinking, one is King Ning and the other is Ye Zheng. If they are both interested in Xiaoyu, how will the emperor arrange it?"
"Arrangement?" Zhu Feng said, "Do you think that the girl next to you can be arranged by someone?"
"..."
Nan Yan was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Ran Xiaoyu on the other side.
Ye Zheng was smiling at her, but Ran Xiaoyu ignored her at all.
Indeed, Ran Xiaoyu's temperament is not at the mercy of others.
Zhu Feng said: "She thinks about you in everything and puts you first, but I'm afraid no one can arrange her own affairs."
Nan Yan said softly: "The emperor also—"
"I can't bear to embarrass her with such a disposition."
"..."
"I just hope that she can have her own choice."
Seeing that Ran Xiaoyu was helplessly entangled by Ye Zheng, Nan Yan simply stretched out her hand and twisted his arm forcefully, until Ye Zheng grinned, and couldn't help a faint smile.
Softly said: "I hope she will make a right choice."

After they boarded the boat, they went all the way down the river.
Half a month later, we arrived in Jinling.
At this time, it happened to be the time when the weather in Jinling was getting warmer. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The trees along the way were dyed with fresh green, and people put on thinner clothes.
The entire Jinling City was boiling because of the emperor's return.
From the wharf to the palace, the people on the side of the road all knelt to greet the imperial driver, and when they returned to the imperial palace, the empress was the head in the harem, and the Zhongshu province Zuocheng Heyi was the head of the previous dynasty, and they came to pick him up.
Standing on the carriage, Zhu Feng watched the people kneeling down in front of him, shouted long live, and waved his sleeves lightly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
They just stood up.
Zhu Feng got off the carriage.
Nanyan's carriage followed behind and got out of the carriage, and Ran Xiaoyu and the others followed behind her, also got off with Princess Anping in her arms. At this time, the ministers in the court knelt down again: "I pay my respects to the imperial concubine and your highness the princess."
Nan Yan nodded lightly: "Everyone please stand up."
She took a look.
Among the crowd, there was no Jian Ruocheng.
