When Xiao Ting came out of the Yaochi Palace, she saw the back of the Ninth Prince, so she had an expression of whatever you want.
When the Ninth Prince turned his head, he saw her like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said calmly, "Go home."
After speaking, he walked forward first, and didn't say a word about Xiao Ting's stay in Yaochi Palace.
But it was also this casual look that made Xiao Ting feel a little lost, as if he didn't care about her at all, and it seemed that he doted on her so much that no matter the sky fell, he would stand up for her.
Xiao Ting also couldn't tell why her thoughts were so complicated, which was never like this before.
It must be the influence of that chick, Hong Shao, who feels that the Ninth Prince treats her a little special.
Hmm, what's special? This person has always been cold, and she has always spoken in this tone from beginning to end. It is because she thinks too much that she feels that other people care about it. Let's go home and sleep!
The whole journey was speechless, Xiao Ting sat in the carriage and looked out. The bustling street in the past seemed a bit boring and unattractive to her at the moment, but her gaze was still outside, and she seemed a little uncomfortable riding with the Ninth Prince.
Xiao Ting sneaked a glance at him from the corner of her eye. At this moment, the Ninth Prince was quietly sitting in the carriage and dozed off. His posture was casual, not as formal as before. His legs were crossed together, his head was propped on one hand, and his eyes were closed. The whole person was as beautiful as a painting.
Forgive Miss Xiao Liu for not reading much, so she can only come up with this kind of adjective.
Xiao Ting turned her head quickly and stopped looking at him, feeling that there was something wrong with the Ninth Prince today.
The moment she turned her head, Ninth Prince suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her.
There is a hint of doubt in the eyes, wondering why her weird behavior today
From time to time, she secretly looked at him, with strange eyes, annoyed at times, and laughed at times, I really don't know what this little girl is pretending to be thinking
Suddenly the carriage jolted and stopped.
Due to inertia, Xiao Ting didn't stop the car at all, and bumped her head straight into the wall of the carriage.
"Ouch!" With a soft cry, Xiao Ting raised her head with gritted teeth, and met the concerned eyes of the Ninth Prince who hadn't had time to clean up, and the hand that was outstretched but not retracted.
Xiao Ting rubbed her forehead and smiled harmlessly, "I'm fine."
It was only when I opened my mouth that I remembered, well, they didn't even ask her if she was okay
"What's going on?" Sure enough, the Ninth Prince asked outside without looking at her again.
Her tone was still calm, her expression didn't change in any way, Xiao Ting secretly rolled her eyes at herself in her heart.
The coachman immediately replied outside, "Returning to the lord, there are troublemakers in front of us, and we collided with another carriage."
As soon as she heard that there were troublesome people, Xiao Ting raised the curtain and went outside without saying a word. Sure enough, she saw a group of people gathered together. She didn't know what to point out
The Ninth Prince came out with her, but pressed Xiao Ting's shoulder and said: "Don't go down, wait for me here."
There was chaos ahead, Xiao Ting sat on the shaft of the car to watch the excitement.
The Ninth Prince didn't stay away, there was a man in official uniform in front of him mediating.
Not long after, the man came over, saw the Ninth Prince bowed to him, then said something, and walked over again, Xiao Ting found out that it was an acquaintance.
The man who saved Ning Ning's life in Hanshan Temple yesterday and sent them back.
Xiao Ting jumped off the shaft and greeted him cheerfully, "Hey, why is it you? It turns out that you are still an official, so you are really a fake monk."
"Xie Jingtian, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has met the Ninth Princess." Xie Jingtian didn't expect to see her again so soon, he didn't know what purpose he had, he came over to greet her uncontrollably.
Although it would make him unhappy to call her Ninth Princess.
Xiao Ting smiled brightly, waved her hand to him, and said, "Oh, don't be so polite, you saved us yesterday, I haven't thanked you yet, by the way, have you eaten yet? Otherwise, I'll treat you to dinner!"
The coachman stood next to the horse and gave it to the horse, trying to minimize his sense of existence. Wangfei, Wangfei, do you have the consciousness of being a woman, and invite other men to dinner in front of your husband? Is this really good
Well, even if you want to treat me, what happened to the man opposite
My lord, this is the Ninth Concubine, you look at our concubine with your admiring eyes, do you think our prince is blind and can't see it
Xie Jingtian carefully looked at Xiao Ting's eyes, and made sure that she asked casually, but it was not fake, so she responded: "Okay, I just came to the morning court, and I haven't had time to eat, so I would like to thank the Ninth Princess for your kindness."
"Then what do you eat?" Xiao Ting was very excited. When she came to this time and space, all she knew and had contact with were members of the royal family, except for those petty women of the Xiao family, there was no one else.
After finally meeting someone with a nice heart, I just want to make friends.
Xiao Ting and Xie Jingtian were discussing what to eat and where to eat, when they suddenly remembered that they needed money for meals.
So she asked the Ninth Prince who stood indifferently, "My lord, have you brought any money?"
Ninth Prince shook his head very directly, "No."
"Oh, what should we do? If we don't have money, we won't be able to eat."
The coachman said, why does the Ninth Prince need to bring money when he goes out, and he eats out, who would ask him for money, and he will pay directly to the palace, okay
The coachman opened his mouth, intending to remind Wang Hao, but the faint eyes of the Ninth Prince suddenly drifted over, like a ray of breeze, but made him tremble.
He suddenly remembered Steward Mu's instructions, so he continued to groom the horse, and comforted his little heart that was about to break, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Xiao Ting had no choice but to apologize to Jing Tian, saying that next time we meet again, he will definitely treat him to dinner in order to repay his life-saving grace.
After getting into the carriage, Xiao Ting still didn't have any self-consciousness, looked at the Ninth Prince from time to time, thinking, it seems that the Ninth Prince's Mansion is really poor, otherwise the majestic prince will not bring money with him when he goes out
Do you want this girl to earn money to support the family in the future
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Ninth Prince's Mansion under Xiao Ting's wild thoughts, and the Ninth Prince suddenly asked, "Are you familiar with him?"
There was no sense of displeasure in that light tone, but Xiao Ting just felt that the temperature in the carriage had dropped a bit.
She shrank her neck and said in a low voice, "No, I only found out his name today, but he saved me yesterday, so he should be considered an acquaintance."
"Are you familiar enough to sit with him?"
The Ninth Prince asked again, his tone was still indifferent, and no one could hear his emotions.
No matter how slow Xiao Ting is now, she can still react, something is wrong.
So she showed a timid look, looked at the Ninth Prince, and asked with some doubts, "It's just a treat for a friend, is the prince reluctant to part with this little money?"
Ninth Prince: "..."
"Don't worry, I have money, so I don't need money from the Ninth Prince's Mansion." Now, you have no objection, a man who is stingy and reluctant to spend money on women is not a good man.
Therefore, Ninth Prince is not a good man.
The Ninth Prince kept talking for a long time, not knowing how to respond. He and Xiao Ting were never on the same channel, and he found that the girl's focus was always different from others.
The coachman and Butler Mu had already been waiting outside the carriage, but when the carriage stopped, the two masters did not come down. Hearing their conversation again, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Steward Mu sighed, did his prince and concubine talk about the same thing
The coachman said, Wangfei, which ear did you hear that the prince is not willing to spend money to treat others to a meal in return for saving his life? He obviously minds that you have dinner with other men, okay
Xiao Ting, who didn't understand the style, once again made the Ninth Prince angry and didn't know what to do
After returning to the palace, the coachman told Steward Mu about what happened today. The steward became more cheerful, and the smile on his face became more kind. He patted the coachman on the head and said, "Come on, you must keep an eye on me when the prince and princess are together in the future, and come back to report at any time."
"Don't worry, Uncle Mu, this little thing is left to me."
The people in the Nine Princes' Mansion are thinking of their master's health and longevity, and they also hope that their palace will have a real master.
In the past, the ninth concubine and the prince respected each other as guests all day long, and they hardly communicated with each other. Now, although this Miss Xiao Liu doesn't look like a mistress, she doesn't know how to be a housekeeper.
But she can make the prince of her family feel emotional, and she has a true temperament. Let alone the prince, she is sincerely good to the little prince, and she will not be obedient to the little prince just to get the prince's favor.
They saw all of this, not to mention that since she came to the palace, the prince has never been in a coma again, and his health has become more and more healthy, as if nothing had happened. They are all very grateful for this kind of marriage bestowed by the emperor and the noble concubine for their prince.
Now, according to Butler Mu, the prince of his family has moved his mind on the princess again. They naturally hope that the prince and the princess are well, so that the whole palace will be peaceful.
"Princess, you are finally back, and the servants are all worried to death."
Xiao Qin waved his hands to the two maids who just loved to worry, and said, "What are you worried about? I'm not going to the wolf's den."
Xiao Ting pouted.
Hong Shao followed her step by step, listing the facts, "Whenever you went to the palace, you didn't cause a lot of troubles. The servants are not worried about what will happen to you, but worried about the nobles in the palace."
Xiao Ting turned around and gave her a popcorn, "You girl, you can eat inside and outside."
The green grass knocked on the head of the sweet potato, and said, "Poor mouth, neither respectful nor humble."
Hong Shao sticks out his tongue, and then asks: "Princess, have you seen the imperial concubine?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ting's temperament is not high, she sat down at the table next to her, and said a little discouraged, "I see it, it's just that my aunt seems to be a different person, which makes me feel uneasy."
Xiao Ting lay on the table, weak.
She repeated what Concubine Xiao Gui had said to her, and after listening to Hong Shao, she went straight to the pot: "Princess, the empress is not thinking about it, so she is explaining the funeral to you?"
