How could Xia Yuanqiu not know her temperament? The sadder and helpless she felt, the more meaningless and cheerful she would be, hiding all her emotions in her heart and secretly crying in the middle of the night.
And all she could do was pretend not to know, laugh and make trouble with her.
Xing Ying, who had just left, suddenly came back. He reported to Zhu Yan: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you. He claims to be from the Western Regions and is a friend you met when you were in the Western Regions."
Xia Yuanqiu's face was filled with joy, and the first person he thought of was Gongsun Shuo, and he hurriedly said: "Invite him in quickly."
Xing Ying's complexion was strange and he stopped talking.
Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"
Xing Ying said: "I heard from the concierge that this man has been here several times. Because he was dressed so well, the concierge drove him away without notifying him. When his subordinates just went out, they saw him shouting loudly at the door of the house. He said he wanted to see the prince and princess, so my subordinates came to report it."
Zhu Yan frowned: "Isn't it Gongsun Shuo?" Gongsun Shuo was a member of a famous family, rich in wealth and extraordinary in bearing. It was impossible for the concierge to offend such a person easily.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Whether it is true or not, go and invite him in first."
Xing Ying left in response.
When Jiang Xin heard that someone claimed to be from the Western Regions, she also believed that it was Gongsun Shuo who came to see her. But when she heard that the concierge was disgusted by her dress and did not even notify him, how shabby would it be to be like this
In Jiang Xin's impression, Gongsun Shuo paid great attention to his external image and was very particular about his daily attire. This person was definitely not Gongsun Shuo.
Just as the three of them were making their own guesses, Xing Ying led the people in a hurry.
Hearing the footsteps, the three of them looked behind Xing Ying, all stunned.
That man in ragged clothes and disheveled face, who else could he be if he wasn't Gongsun Shuo
It is really hard to imagine that such a wealthy and elegant young man would be like a beggar today. No wonder the concierge refused to let him in.
Jiang Xin froze on the spot, looking at Gongsun Shuo like this, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. There were mixed feelings in her heart, and all the resentment that she had been filled with disappeared in this moment.
He must have suffered a lot along the way, otherwise, how could he be like this
Zhu Yan saw that the two of them were relatively speechless, with excitement and emotion on his face. He smiled and said: "Brother Gongsun, it's been a hard journey to come here. Xing Ying, please take Brother Gongsun to have a rest. I will prepare a banquet for Brother Gongsun later. Go ahead!" "
Xing Ying understood that the prince wanted him to take Gongsun Shuo to wash up and change into clean clothes.
Xing Ying said to Gongsun Shuo: "Please!"
Gongsun Shuo nodded slightly and finally looked away from Jiang Xin's face. He was about to turn around when he heard Jiang Xin say: "I'll take him there!"
She stood up from the stone bench, walked in front of Gongzi Shuo, and said without looking back, "Follow me!"
Gongsun Shuo followed him obediently, not daring to go any closer for fear that the smell of his body would smell against her, and not daring to go far for fear of losing her trace again.
Jiang Xin took Gongsun Shuo back to the courtyard where he lived, and ordered the servants in the courtyard to prepare bath water and clean men's clothes immediately.
She walked into the room and said to Gongsun Shuo who was standing outside: "Why are you still standing there? Come in!"
Gongsun Shuo looked at his dirty body and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I'll just stand outside." He couldn't stand the smell of his own body, let alone Jiang Xin, who loved cleanliness very much.
