Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo immediately looked tired and said with a smile, "Miss Du Daozhang is considerate and you can see it today. Your Highness, the Second Prince, Zhuo'er is indeed tired, so I'm afraid I can only... I have accepted His Highness’s kindness. It’s just Miss Zhang’s kindness, and I hope His Highness the Second Prince will not let it down.”
Xiao Junhan has always regarded himself as a handsome young man, so naturally he would not impress Zhang Xiuyan in person. So he just nodded slightly and said with a smile, "In that case, Miss Zhang, please."
Having said that, he took the lead and walked forward. Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyan was so busy that she followed him step by step, ignoring Xie Ruzhuo's teasing eyes. No manuscript
Seeing the two annoying people leaving at the same time, Xie Ruzhuo smiled coldly and sat down. Based on Xie Ruzhuo's understanding of Xiao Junhan, he must be just showing off. He would probably leave Zhang Xiuyan aside in the blink of an eye when no one is around.
As expected by Xie Ruzhuo, Zhang Xiuyan followed Xiao Junhan happily, while chirping, "Cousin, I heard that the eldest princess's residence is picturesque. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation. There is a small lake not far away. , let’s go sit in that pavilion together.”
She didn't feel the perfunctory feeling emanating from Xiao Junhan's body at all, and she still pulled Xiao Junhan's sleeve as if to show her intimacy.
Hearing this, the disgust in Xiao Junhan's eyes flashed away, and turned into a smile, "Yan'er, please go back first. I suddenly remembered an urgent matter and I can't accompany you anymore."
The scenery inside the palace is more beautiful, how can it be compared to the princess palace? Besides, even if you really want to see the scenery, it also depends on who you go with. It is a sure thing that the Zhang family supports him, and he is too lazy to waste energy on the fish that takes the bait!
After saying that, he ignored Zhang Xiuyan's instantly aggrieved face, turned around and strode away.
Shen Jingci had been watching everything happening across the way with cold eyes. Although she couldn't hear clearly, she could guess what happened from the expressions of Xie Ruzhuo and Zhang Xiuyan.
Zhang Xiuyan is really useless, she didn't know how to take advantage of such a good opportunity.
Shen Jingci snorted in her heart. Naturally, she would not bet all her money on Zhang Xiuyan. What's more, she didn't really hope that Zhang Xiuyan could really hook up with Xiao Junhan.
Xiao Junhan is hers and no one can compete with her, not just Zhang Xiuyan, but also Xie Ruzhuo!
The location of Xie's family was not remote, and everyone around them was a relative of the royal family. Seeing Xie Rufei dancing around with the rich ladies around her, Xie Rulan's anger became more and more intense.
Her father was not an official. Although he was the son of the Xie family, he was still a businessman. With this, she, the first wife's legitimate daughter, had lost her identity. Xie Rulan had nothing to say to the ladies around her. After drinking a few more glasses of fruit wine, she felt more and more that the banquet could not last any longer.
This sister Xie Ruzhuo is really outrageous. She just went out to change clothes and didn't come back. Could it be that she went to seduce those aristocratic young men? As she thought about it, something moved in her heart, and then she stood up and took Jade out of the banquet hall while no one was paying attention.
The grandeur of the eldest princess's house was enough to dazzle her. But Xie Rulan had no time to take into account the beautiful scenery. She came here for the second prince. If she could meet the second prince by chance, it would not be in vain for her to withdraw from the Xu family's marriage, making Xie Ruyun, the concubine, proud for a long time!
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, she could not find the second prince. Xie Rulan turned around a few times with a gloomy expression, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Jade didn't know what she was thinking, and said with concern, "Miss, it's very windy at night, why don't we go back?" If Xie Rulan was frozen, the third lady would have to scold her again.
Hearing this, Xie Rulan sighed and said, "That's it, let's go back."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned the corner, her eyes suddenly became ecstatic. Sure enough, hard work paid off. Although she did not meet Xiao Junhan, the person dressed in white who came gracefully was not Xiao Junhe, the eldest son of Dingnan Palace, so who was it
Xie Rulan spent all her time on how to seduce men. She made up her mind immediately, hid behind her, straightened her appearance, and then walked out gracefully. Although she has never spoken to Xiao Junhe, she also knows that the prince of Dingnan has a distinguished status. If he can favor her, it would be good to become the prince's concubine.
After all, one is a prince whose future is uncertain, but the other is the prince destined to be in charge of Dingnan Palace!
Thinking about it, Xie Rulan's eyebrows became more and more springy, and her eyes were filled with eyes. With her beauty, an ordinary young man would definitely not be able to control himself when he saw her, and would come to chat with her. Xie Rulan had tried repeatedly and failed, so she simply stood there like a weak willow, waiting for Xiao Junhe to come and chat with her with a tender smile on her face.
But how could Xiao Junhe be a young man from an ordinary family? The beautiful woman in front of him was motionless, but he seemed not to notice her. He turned to the side and was about to go around her.
Seeing that Xiao Junhe was about to pass her by, how could Xie Rulan let go of such a good opportunity? Immediately, his body tilted and he fell towards Xiao Junhe.
Xiao Junhe caught Xie Rulan like a reflex, frowned, and asked with concern, "Is the girl okay?"
Xiao Junhe's graceful demeanor had already made Xie Rulan unable to control herself. Now that she heard him caring about her body, Xie Rulan suddenly burst into laughter. Men in this world can really only be their own subordinates.
"It's okay, little girl. Thank you for your helping hand, sir. Perhaps it was because of the hot weather that I was so weak that I couldn't hold myself back and collapsed. Fortunately, sir, I rescued you in time, otherwise I would have fallen down."
The woman in front of her had affectionate eyes and red lips. Although her words were extremely weak, Xiao Junhe couldn't help but sneer in her heart. From this, it seemed that Xie Rulan must have done it on purpose! It's obviously only April today, where does the heat come from
But he didn't intend to get entangled with the other party, and he didn't bother to expose Xie Rulan's lies, so he said calmly: "Since the girl is fine, I will take my leave."
Seeing Xiao Junhe about to leave, Xie Rulan immediately stopped him and said hastily, "Master, wait a minute, the little girl Xie Rulan is the third young lady of the Xie family. I have heard about the name of the prince for a long time, but today it is better to see him than to hear him once. .”
Xiao Junhe really wanted to look at Xie Rulan with new eyes. Although he was the eldest son of Dingnan Palace, he had only been in the capital for a short time. They had never met. How did Xie Rulan know his identity
Perhaps he could see Xiao Junhe's doubts, and Xie Rulan smiled, "The prince is elegant and elegant, and Lan'er has admired him for a long time. We met at the last banquet, and thought we would never see each other again in this life. It is fate that we meet today, Lan'er I am deeply proud of you."
Xiao Junhe didn't listen to the twists and turns in Xie Rulan's words. Luo Hua deliberately flowed and was ruthless. Xiao Junhe nodded slightly, knowing what Xie Rulan meant, and then turned around and left.
She originally thought that Xiao Junhe would favor her because of her intelligence, but Xiao Junhe's reaction was so cold, which really made Xie Rulan very frustrated. She threw away the veil, and her weak look just now disappeared, and she turned into a thoughtful one. appearance.
From this point of view, it would be better to use more efforts on the second prince. Although Xiao Junhe is also a prince, he is cold-hearted and is not as easy to take the bait as the second prince.
Thinking about it, Xie Rulan couldn't help but angrily returned to the banquet. Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned, she happened to see Zhang Xiuyan following Xiao Junhan out. Xie Rulan couldn't help but feel angry. Xie Rulan knew Zhang Xiuyan's thoughts. My cousin and my cousin are in love with each other, but she can't help but interfere.
Xie Ruzhuofang dismissed Zhang Xiuyan and the other two, but saw Xie Rulan sneaking in again sneakily. There was a thought in her heart, and she suddenly became suspicious. Xie Rulan had just returned to the banquet, which meant that during the time when he and Xie Ruyue left, Xie Rulan also left.
In this case, it is very likely that the person who injured his knee just now was Xie Rulan!
"Qianbi, come here." After calling Qianbi over, Xie Ruzhuo whispered a few instructions before letting her go out. You must be wary of people outside, especially those with ulterior motives like Xie Rulan. If she were to find out that Xie Rulan was the troublemaker, she would definitely make Xie Rulan look good!
As soon as Zhang Xiuyan left, there were no troublemakers at the banquet. Shen Jingci naturally would not ask her to be so happy. She immediately said leisurely, "The ladies of the Xie family are very strange. First, the fourth lady's clothes were dirty." Now, the second young lady accompanied me to change clothes, and now even the third young lady has left the banquet for a long time. Could it be that she doesn’t like the eldest princess’s banquet and wants to leave early?”
After saying that, she looked at Xie Ruzhuo with a smile and said, "Look at me, I have always been such a straight-tempered person. I will say what I have to say. Don't mind, sister Zhuo'er." She didn't like Xie Ruzhuo, but she had to maintain her own demeanor. . Today, several members of the Xie family also talked about it, and it was just to give Xie Ruzhuo and others eye drops in front of everyone.
Xie Ruzhuo only glanced at Xie Rulan sideways and did not explain. She was also very surprised. Why did Xie Rulan leave her behind
Xie Rulan looked embarrassed and said, "I... I was just walking around. Miss Shen must be worrying too much." If people knew that she was out to seduce men, then her reputation would be unnecessary!
Shen Jingci rarely showed mercy and had no intention of pursuing the matter further. However, Qianbi came back and told Xie Ruzhuo all the information she had learned from the maid.
Xie Ruzhuo nodded to himself. Listening to what Qian Bi meant, the person who hurt her knee was probably not Xie Rulan. Xie Rulan didn't have such a scheming ability. She usually only flirted with others. She was not capable of such scheming. Secondly, she was with Xiao Junhe at that time, and she had no skills at all, so she should not be the person in the dark.
After thinking about this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but chuckle to himself. No wonder Xie Rulan's expression was so unnatural. It turned out to be a failure. It was also her fault that she overestimated her abilities. She was just the legitimate daughter of the third wife. See what kind of virtue you really are.
However, you need to be careful about everything. Xie Rulan has always regarded herself as a thorn in the flesh, and she has never been honest. She must pay attention to her actions in the future.
There was singing and dancing at the banquet, but Xie Ruzhuo had no thoughts. Since Xiao Junhan and Zhang Xiuyan were already traveling together, she probably wouldn't run into those two people since the princess's mansion was so big. She might as well go out for some fresh air.
Xie Ruzhuo made up her mind, and then Shi Shiran stood up. She wanted to greet Xie Ruyue, but found that she was surrounded by several young ladies, who seemed to be whispering.
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but shook his head, got up and walked outside.
