Chapter 611: "Unmarried Couple"
"Uh......" Zhang Liqiu was speechless for a while, he honestly shook his head and replied: "Lord Wang forgives me, my subordinates don't know what happened to Miss Mu." Miss Xie only said that she came to the door to see the prince for Miss Mu's business. ”
"Invite her to the main hall of the courtyard." Zheng Ying stepped out of the threshold as she spoke, turned around and closed the door herself, and then walked towards the west wing of the courtyard, looking like she was going to change her clothes.
Shi Zhang Liqiu, the king of letters, who has always been calm and composed, and boasted of having seen the world, was once again surprised. What a god! How does this Miss Xie seem to know their prince better than him?! How did Miss Xie know that after this sentence arrived, the prince would meet her? I haven't usually seen any friendship between the prince and this Miss Xie, this ...... Could it be that the two have already had a relationship in private? No wonder the emperor gave him a marriage!
Zhang Liqiu turned his head and glanced at Ji Ling, as expected, he saw the same shock and curiosity in Ji Ling's eyes, but this was a private matter of the prince, and neither Zhang Liqiu nor Ji Ling would take the initiative to ask. But even so, the gossip of middle-aged men cannot be underestimated.
Zhang Liqiu sent a small inner supervisor to the flower hall to pass the word, and then did not leave, but stood with Ji Ling, waiting to accompany Zheng Ying to the courtyard. Ji Ling glanced at Zhang Liqiu, and the ridicule in his eyes was very obvious. Zhang Liqiu rolled his eyes indifferently, lowered his voice and said, "Don't you do the same." Don't think I can't see it. ”
"How am I the same." Ji Ling immediately patted his chest with a righteous face: "I am on duty today, so naturally I will follow the prince wherever he goes." ”
Zhang Liqiu snorted lightly, he didn't pay attention to Ji Ling, they have been working together for more than ten years, can he not understand Ji Ling!
"Eh, you say, why did the prince see Miss Xie in the courtyard?" The two of them were bored waiting at the door, Ji Ling approached Zhang Liqiu's ear, lowered his voice and asked, "How can you go to the guest house when you see the future princess?" ”
"Where do you go if you don't go to the guest house?" Zhang Liqiu replied solemnly: "Miss Xie is a guest of our palace right now. ”
"Not after that." Ji Ling whispered: "The first time people came to the door, why didn't they see it in the main hall of the palace, so that they paid attention to it?" ”
"You can see the prince wherever he likes," Zhang Liqiu glanced at Jiling: "That's all about the young couple, what are you talking about." ”
"Our palace, this is the first time a female guest has come." Ji Ling laughed quietly: "Aren't I happy!" The prince is going to marry a wife, and our mother should be very happy if she knows about it. ”
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Liqiu also smiled and nodded: "It's okay to get married, this time you can rest assured." ”
Zhang Liqiu and Jiling, who were happy, soon knew that they were happy too early.
The two followed behind Zheng Ying and went to the Jinshen Courtyard together? When do they arrive? The inner supervisor had already led Xie Shurou to wait in the courtyard. As soon as she saw Zheng Ying coming in, Xie Shurou first followed the rules and respectfully gave Zheng Ying a blessing.
And Zheng Ying? As soon as I entered the door, my eyes fell on Xie Shurou? Instead, he looked straight at Fang Xin, who came with Xie Shurou.
Zheng Ying has visited Xie's house many times these days, and he has seen Fang Xin. A few days ago? Mu Hongshang accompanied the gentlemen to discuss matters in the study, and Gu Yilan often sent Fangxin to the front yard to deliver soup? So Zheng Ying recognized it at the first time? This is the maid of the Mu family's grandmother.
Zheng Ying was originally willing to see her because of the words passed on by Xie Shurou before, but when she came, she found out that the maid of the Mu family followed Miss Xie to his house? This makes Zheng Ying can't help but worry? He didn't wait for Xie Shurou to speak, he took a step forward directly and stared at Fang Xin.
"You are the maid of the Mu family." Zheng Ying's tone was very firm: "Come on, what's wrong with the eldest lady?" ”
Zheng Ying's question made Fang Xin stunned, and also made Ji Ling and Zhang Liqiu, who were following Zheng Ying, stunned? In the room, only Xie Shurou looked confident. It's a pity that Zheng Ying didn't seem to notice that there was still her in the house? Just busy staring at Fang Xin.
Fang Xin didn't know why King Xin stared at her as soon as she came over and asked the eldest lady, she was not the eldest lady's maid? The eldest lady is at home, and it's okay. In desperation? Fang Xin had no choice but to reply, "The eldest lady is at home." Our eldest lady is going to go on the expedition the day after tomorrow? Therefore, I want to spend more time with the old lady and Mrs. at home. Your Highness? The slave maid is the maid of the young grandmother, and the young grandmother ordered the slave maid to accompany Miss Xie over. ”
Hearing that Mu Hongshang was fine at home, Zheng Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a little out of shape, so he turned around, saluted Xie Shurou, and apologized first, but his tone and attitude were extremely polite and distant.
"Miss Xie said before, do you want to find this king?" Zheng Ying didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point: "And it's about the eldest lady of the Mu family?" ”
"Exactly." Xie Shurou nodded, glanced at Ji Ling and Zhang Liqiu who were standing at the door, and asked tentatively, "Lord Wang, can the little girl talk to His Highness alone." ”
Zheng Ying frowned suddenly. He really didn't want to be alone with Xie Shurou, although he ...... Although the woman in front of him has just been given marriage to him, and theoretically the two will be a sure couple in the future, Zheng Ying is actually quite wary of Xie Shurou, he actually doesn't want to see her, if it weren't for the woman who said that something involved in Hongsheng, he wouldn't come out to meet her.
This marriage is already a certainty and cannot be changed, and Zheng Ying has not yet figured out a good way to deal with the follow-up things for the time being, so it is really not appropriate to have more contact with Miss Xie at the moment, and meet alone, it is even more impossible, so Zheng Ying does not want to agree to Xie Shurou's request.
"The chief of the palace and the commander of the guards are all people who can be trusted by this king." Zheng Ying replied lightly, her attitude was extremely polite, but there was a kind of coldness and alienation in her bones.
Xie Shurou was silent and hesitated for a while. In fact, as far as she is concerned, she doesn't want to be alone with Zheng Ying, she knows that Zheng Ying actually hates her, just like she also doesn't like Zheng Ying, with so many people in front of her now, she and Zheng Ying can't talk comfortably, there is a feeling like a man's back, if you talk alone...... I'm afraid that Zheng Ying will bring her a heavier sense of oppression.
Anyway...... Xie Shurou raised her head and glanced at Zhang Liqiu and Ji Ling, anyway, she asked for a separate talk at the beginning, just to provide some convenience for Zheng Ying, she didn't care herself.
Since people don't care...... Since Zheng Ying said that these two people are his cronies, then Zheng Ying is responsible for the consequences, and she is talking nonsense.
"Fang Xin," Xie Shurou didn't argue much, just turned her head and instructed Fang Xin: "You go outside and guard, don't let people come close." ”
