Chapter Seventy-Four: Mistaken Thoughts
"His Royal Highness looks approachable, but he has a hot personality on the outside and cold on the inside, he has no cleanliness habits, but he has never allowed others to get close, and he does everything himself, except for no trace, probably only a scoundrel like Xiao Yan can make friends with him."
Hearing this, Xie Ning paused, and looked at Gu Qingyun incredulously, "Doesn't Your Highness like to come into contact with people?" β
Gu Qingyun's eyelashes blinked, put away the loneliness in her eyes, and had a decent smile on her face, "Yes, Your Highness has always been indifferent, and he didn't go out often when he was in the palace in the past, and after the mansion was built, he lived in a simple house. But Miss Xie doesn't have to worry too much, you are kind to Your Highness, Your Highness treats you differently from others, as long as you don't get too close to him, Your Highness won't mind. β
After hearing this explanation, Xie Ning felt a "hum" in his heart, and the thought of appreciating the beauty dissipated without a trace in an instant, and the original doubts not only failed to solve, but instead gave birth to a miasma out of thin air. She was puzzled, and her heart suddenly became heavy.
Taking care of Qingyun's statement, Qin Feng's sudden indifference was due to his dislike of contacting people. But the two of them have already touched each other many times, why didn't she see it at all? Could it be that I realized it later?
Xie Ning squeezed a smile at Gu Qingyun, and then followed the other party's steps forward, but in his heart he quickly recalled the situation when the two of them got along on weekdays.
She grew up in the barracks, not a lady, and she has always been informal when she gets along with people on weekdays, not to mention what men and women are afraid of. She once patted Qin Feng's shoulder, took his hand and ran away in a panic without asking, and also hid in his arms after an emotional breakdown to calm down.
If he really doesn't like others to be close, then has she already touched his bottom line? If he really doesn't like others to be close, why did she become special?
Xie Ning's heart was in turmoil at this time, but the palm that Qin Feng took the initiative to stretch out to her on the day of the banquet in King An's Mansion came to her again, and the memory that he thought had been blurred became clear again after a month. The words that echoed in my ears were the gentleness and beauty that the cold male voice could not hideβ"It's all right, get up." β
A corner of my heart softened, and an incredible thought was about to come to my mind when it was interrupted by a voice beside me. Xie Ning turned his head, and looked at Gu Qingyun's delicate facial features, and the indescribable ignorance had not yet grown up, and it had been uprooted.
With the soft voice of the woman in front of him in his ears, Xie Ning couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart: With Gu Qingyun's infatuation in front of her, who would notice her with an ordinary appearance? When did she Xie Ning become so arrogant, she would mistakenly think that an outstanding man like Qin Feng would have special thoughts about her.
"As I just said, Miss Xie must not take it to heart. I'm not targeting you, it's just that there are many women in Beijing who don't know His Highness's temperament and intend to get close, which makes me feel emotional. I also want to thank the girl for telling them secretly, so as not to cause any embarrassment. β
Xie Ning nodded and said, "What Miss Gu said is extremely true. She agreed, but she couldn't help muttering in her heart: With Gu Qingyun's connections among the nobles, she could go and tell her herself, why entrust this matter to her? Could it be that what she just said was just to go around in a circle for her to talk?
With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Xie Ning subconsciously thought of a woman who was also obsessed with Qin Feng, frowned slightly, and pretended to be casual and tentatively said: "By the way, Cousin Yan heard that I was going to meet you today, and specially asked me to bring a letter to you." I was in the car, and I was negligent and forgot to take it out. Xie Ning said, then took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Gu Qingyun. She didn't expect to come with Gu Qingyun, and her original plan was to wait until the send-off banquet and then hand it over to the other party.
"Yes," Gu Qingyun put the letter away, looking up at Xie Ning's gaze, unable to discern emotion. The two people who fell behind walked slowly in the direction of Qin Feng and Xiao Yan in front of them.
Just when Xie Ning couldn't help but say something tentatively, Gu Qingyun spoke again: "Actually, I have something I want to tell Miss Xie. β
Xie Ning looked at her, "Miss Gu, but it's okay to say it." β
Gu Qingyun's eyes flashed lightly, and after a pause, she said loudly: "Miss Xie also knows that I have always been good friends with Sister Yan. She is still young and the second daughter in the family, and she is often compared with Yi Yao, so her temperament is naturally a little arrogant. She doesn't have any bad intentions, the reason why she is targeting you is not because she has malicious intentions towards you, but because she is angry and has some opinions about you. β
Xie Ning didn't want her to intercede for Gao Yiyan like this, and while raising her feet and going upstairs, she secretly doubted in her heart - it wasn't Gao Yiyan, who did Gu Qingyun want to say to her?
Seeing Xie Ning's stunned face and a thoughtful expression, Gu Qingyun paused for a moment, and continued: "I have already told her that she will not target you again. Miss Xie can rest assured in the future. β
Xie Ning put away his clueless conjecture and smiled at Gu Qingyun, but he was noncommittal about the explanation she said for Gao Yiyan.
Whether it's to say that she is unkind, or to say that she is stingy and holds grudges, in short, her warm-hearted heart towards Gao Yiyan was frozen into ice as early as that day when the other party designed to frame her. She didn't hesitate to offend the people who the prince of the dynasty wanted to save, and when she turned around, she could instruct the maids around her to frame her in the name of reward, no matter how hard she was, Xie Ning could not forgive Gao Yiyan for such shameless behavior.
Going up to the third floor, Xie Ning glanced sharply at Xiao Yan who was waiting outside, so he quickened his pace and entered the wing room behind him, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Feng sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals.
Most of the people who went to the banquet today were either rich or noble, and there were four princes and grandsons who wanted to come. Xie Ning's eyes wandered around the row of seats, without too much hesitation, he honestly sat on the seat closest to the door, and when he looked up again, he was actually separated from Qin Feng by most of the table.
Qin Feng was looking through the recipes on the table, and he seemed to be unaware of Xie Ning's arrival. Xie Ning looked up boredly, looked at the furnishings in the room, and happened to hear the movement of the two of them entering the door behind him.
Xiao Yan turned around to cover the door, but Gu Qingyun walked straight forward, and calmly sat down beside her under Xie Ning's slightly surprised gaze.
"Qingyun, why did you come here to sit?" Xiao Yan, who turned around, saw this scene, and before he could take a step, he exclaimed.
"Why not," Gu Qingyun replied and winked at Xie Ning, "There are only two women today, me and Ning Er, and I think I want to sit with her." β
Xiao Yan sat down in the seat next to Gu Qingyun, and said in a long voice rather helplessly: "Okay, okay, you girl's family sit together, it's a lot of trouble for me." β
