Xiao Ting said goodbye to Zhaohua, and went straight back to Zhongtian Yuese Bieyuan, and was led all the way to the main hall by the butler, who said that someone from Xiao's residence had come.
Xiao Ting groaned, very unwilling to see her. In her opinion, she has nothing to do with the women of that family. As long as they don't come to provoke her, she won't bother to talk to them.
Who would have thought that as soon as she entered the hall, Xiao Ting was taken aback for a moment, and then stepped back with one foot that stepped into the hall, looked at the surrounding environment and buildings, and then said, "I was scared to death, I thought I went to the wrong place!"
Butler Mu looked helpless behind him.
In the hall, from the old lady to Xiao Ya and Xiao Mei, all of them were inside the Xiao mansion. Xiao Ting thought it was the hall of the Xiao mansion. As soon as she appeared, the old lady and others got up to salute her.
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded, she had taken the wrong medicine, and she realized it when she saw the Ninth Prince sitting beside her.
This is the so-called play on the spot!
So, he also pretended to return the gift, and he was happy.
After Xiao Ting finished speaking, her mouth felt a little dry, she looked around, came to the Ninth Prince's side, picked up the teacup he had just put down, and drank it all down, saying: "I'm thirsty to death."
Everyone: "..."
This Xiao Ting became more and more lawless, she dared to drink the prince's tea in public, you know, it was the prince's tea.
Shameless!
Ninth Prince: "..."
As soon as his hand left the teacup, Xiao Ting took it away, watching her sit where he just drank, drank all the tea in the cup, then licked the edge of the cup, and put it back on the original place.
This behavior made his heart beat faster for no reason.
Then, Xiao Ting said directly: "Well, you sit down, my lord, and my concubine will go down to rest first."
Although Xiao Ting wanted to talk to Lord Ninth, she didn't want to get entangled with these women.
So, everyone watched helplessly, Xiao Ting came in and said hello to them, then showed her affection, patted her buttocks and left.
Without asking what they were doing here, he turned and left.
Leaving the girls of the Xiao Mansion collectively petrified, I don't know what to say.
At this time, Chu Yun, who received the news, stepped over the threshold and walked in proudly. He first met the Ninth Prince, and then greeted the old madam one by one.
Courtesy is very thoughtful.
The Ninth Prince got up and nodded to him, saying: "Young Master Xiao is a guest invited by the crown prince. You don't need to inform me if you want to leave or stay. I have something else to do. You can do whatever you want."
After that, he left.
Only the little one, Chu Yun, was left to greet all the women in the Xiao Mansion.
Through the housekeeper's translation, Chu Yun already knew the purpose of the Xiao family's daughters' visit, so he didn't give them time to be dazed, and said directly: "What happened last night was an accident, Xiao Shi and this son are fine, you can go back."
The girls: "..." Knowing that the Nine Princes' Mansion has a high threshold, they are not welcome, but they did not expect such a result.
In the Nine Princes' Mansion, from top to bottom, no one was polite.
The Ninth Prince also sat with him for half a cup of tea, and Xiao Ting also greeted them earnestly, but this little prince sent them away with just one sentence.
The most important thing was that Xiao Xin, whom they were going to meet, didn't show up.
Because of what happened last night, they thought that they could take Xiao Xin back now, and they had already set up words along the way, but right now, before they could say a single word, they were blocked back.
"Housekeeper, see off the guests, and don't bother me and my companions if there is nothing important in the future, don't bring everyone into the mansion."
The old lady was anxious and angry, but she didn't dare to get angry, so she had to take all the girls and left in despair.
I swore I would never come here again in this life.
As soon as Xiao Ting stepped into the house, the Ninth Prince followed in, and the Red Spoon brought food and then retreated.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Xiao Ting lay comfortably on the soft couch, a little tired, tilting her head to grab the fruit on the table, but found that she couldn't reach it.
She withdrew her arms in frustration and slumped on the couch, listless.
Ninth Prince walked over and handed the fruit to her, Xiao Ting picked up a small red shiny fruit and threw it into her mouth, squinting her eyes and humming in a good mood.
"This is the king's home. You are the king's concubine. Can't the king come here?"
The Ninth Prince did not leave, but sat next to her. Even so, he was still taller than Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting raised her eyelids and reached out her hand again, but it was blind.
Seeing this, the Ninth Prince frowned, and then handed the fruit plate to her again. Xiao Ting pulled out another fruit, and then continued to eat, "Yes, yes."
The Ninth Prince hardly talked nonsense with others, so he didn't know what to say to Xiao Ting.
Seeing Xiao Ting's thirsty and tired look just now, he followed subconsciously, but he didn't understand what he was going to do when he came.
"Mrs. Xiao's visit this time should be to talk about Xiao Xin's affairs. You don't plan to ask."
Xiao Ting didn't raise her head, "You didn't come to see me, so what's none of my business?"
Ninth Prince: "..." Forgive him for not understanding how Miss Xiao Liu grew up like this.
"By the way, my lord, do me a favor." Xiao Ting was thinking about the ice coffin, suddenly her eyes lit up and she sat up.
Since making an agreement with the Ninth Prince, the whole person has become more relaxed.
The Ninth Prince looked at the woman who suddenly became alive in front of him, and was a little dumbfounded, how could a person change so quickly.
"explain."
Glancing at the ten fingers holding onto his sleeve, the folds there made him frown slightly.
Xiao Ting's eyes bent into a crescent shape, said: "You have heard about the concubine and aunt, right?"
Ninth Prince nodded, Xiao Ting curled her lips, sure enough, these people are really annoying, if Zhaohua hadn't told her, she wouldn't know anything.
Ninth Prince wondered why she was upset again.
"I want to participate in the investigation."
Before the Ninth Prince refused, Xiao Ting said again, "That corpse must be weird, it hasn't rotted for so many years."
"The emperor has ordered Commander Xu to thoroughly investigate this matter, so you don't have to ask."
"No." Xiao Ting hummed and got up, "All this time, it was my aunt who helped me, and I also want to do something for my aunt."
"Besides, you know, I can see ghosts, and maybe I can use this to know what happened back then!"
Xiao Ting's words were used to persuade the Ninth Prince.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince's face changed slightly when he heard the words, "This matter is not allowed to be mentioned again."
After speaking, I want to leave.
Xiao Ting was depressed, "Why?" followed closely behind him.
"There is no reason. Anyway, you don't need to worry about this matter. With so many capable generals in the empire, why can't you find out an old case?"
"Also, you can see the soul, so don't gossip about it."
Xiao Ting stretched out her hand to stop him, "If you don't speak clearly, you will never leave."
The Ninth Prince looked down at the girl in front of him, her petite figure looked very thin.
But on her plain little face, there is stubborn persistence, and a pair of bright eyes are mischievous and agile, different from the tenderness and wisdom of girls nowadays, but very clear, showing the kind of open heart that is undisguised.
Have a clear conscience without fear of being seen through.
Yes, with a clear conscience!
"You can't beat this king." After the Ninth Prince finished speaking, he watched her slump her shoulders like a deflated ball, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
Not far away, Steward Mu, who was anxiously waiting to report, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
His prince laughed!
Laughed at a woman!
My God, what a big deal!
Xiao Ting is very distressed, except for the Ninth Prince, no one can help her.
The matter of my aunt must not be left alone. Besides, who is the person who set up the ice coffin? There are also like-minded people in this world.
So, Xiao Ting turned back to her place and asked Hong Shao to take out all her clothes and put them on the bed. Xiao Ting stood there and searched for a few times, and then went back and forth to try on her upper body, and called all the six maids in to let them see which one looks good.
The six maids, including Hong Shao, all looked dumbfounded. What kind of role is her princess playing
But all the girls still express their opinions seriously, but unfortunately everyone has different aesthetics, so the choices are also different, Xiao Ting is a little discouraged.
To be honest, she doesn't like the clothes here very much, and it's really annoying to wrap them like rice dumplings in hot weather.
But there is also an advantage, that is sun protection.
In the end, Xiao Ting picked out a lake-green dress that Hong Shao thought was pretty good. I don't know what it was made of. It was very cool to wear, thin and opaque, and very light. Water-red ranunculus flowers were blooming.
There is a water wave from the right shoulder, which opens to the bottom of the left skirt, and then forms a circle, which is very beautiful.
The Ninth Prince is listening to Steward Mu's report, and when he saw Xiao Ting, he looked like this.
The decent palace attire set off her immature figure very well, like a narcissus in bloom, icy and cool.
But when the Ninth Prince saw her smiling face, he looked away.
"The concubine has seen the prince."
The Ninth Prince shook his hand holding the pen, and the ink smudged directly. Seeing this, Steward Mu greeted Xiao Ting with a smile and retreated.
Xiao Ting approached gracefully with lotus steps, and a scent of fragrance wafted through her nostrils. The Ninth Prince took a deep breath and said, "What is the princess doing?"
"If you're here to show warmth, please go back and learn how to laugh first, then straighten your tongue and speak well."
Anyone can see the smirk on that face. She is really a silly and cute princess.
Also, it's okay to learn how to pretend to be enchanting, and you can't learn well, so you don't look like it.
The smile on Xiao Ting's face froze, then she walked around and said: "This girl just said that this method is not good."
She sat down gracefully at the side, crossed her legs, squinted at him humming and squinting, "Talking about your conditions, what exactly are you willing to help this girl?"
"My king said no." Sure enough, this style suits her.
Xiao Ting was anxious, walked over, stepped on the table, stared at the Ninth Prince pretending to be vicious with her big bright eyes, and said: "I just want you to tell the emperor, and there will be no loss of meat. Do you have any sympathy?"
Ninth Prince leaned his head back on the chair and said coolly, "No."
"You..." Xiao Ting continued to move forward, just stepping on the piece of paper that the Ninth Prince was reading.
"If you don't help me, I'll bully your son now, hum!"
