On the stone steps, Xiaoqing sat in front of Hongling's door with a sad face, how to tell Miss, when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, she had been secretly obeying the Lord's orders, Miss was annoyed by something every day, why she cried, what she did, she always had to report to the Lord from time to time, if Miss knew that she had done such a thing before, would she also be angry with me?

"Squeak..."

As soon as Hongling pushed open the door, she saw Xiaoqing squatting there, and she probably guessed that Xiaoqing should have come for Xiuxiu's business.

Xiaoqing heard the sound of Hongling pushing the door, and immediately turned around and stood up excitedly, "Miss......"

"Xiaoqing, you can help me invite the prince over"

Xiaoqing hesitated on the stone steps for a long time before turning around and leaving. How do you talk to Miss? Forget it, let's invite the prince over first! Maybe the prince will have a better way.

Chen Jinye had just come back from the court, and he was busy correcting official documents in the study, thinking that he would go to Hongling Courtyard at dusk. Who knew that Xiaoqing would be looking for it now, and she would think about it so quickly? Looking at her shocked look that day, it was clear that she didn't look like she would think about it quickly. Let's just stop by and watch the show.

Seeing Xiaoqing's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Chen Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong with you?" Do you have something to report? ”

"Lord Wang, Miss is not willing to forgive Xiuxiu, do you have any way?"

The corners of Chen Jinye's mouth turned up slightly, and sure enough, she knew that she would not give up so well, "It's okay, I'll go tell her!" ”​

When Chen Jinye came to Hongling Courtyard, she was sitting in the hall in a green dress, her back was desolate, thinking that she was still immersed in the pain of betrayal at this time. I saw her pair of skillful hands pinching the teapot slightly, and with a little bit, the tea flowed down from the slender spout. Chen Jinye smiled slightly, thinking that he would definitely tease her this time, so that she could remember it for a long time. He paced slowly and walked forward into the hall step by step.

"The concubine is so comfortable"

Hongling heard Chen Jinye's voice, raised her eyelids slightly, and glanced at him, "Lord Wang, don't tease me, Ling'er knows that she is really stupid, and she called Lord Wang here today, just to discuss revenge."

Chen Jinye sat down in response, "Revenge? What revenge? Didn't you say that you would have to wait for Xiuxiu to wake up? ”

Hong Ling rolled up her sleeves, put down the teacup, pursed her thin lips slightly, stared at her eyes slightly, and said, "Is it good for you that the prince teases me like this?" Yes, this time is not harmful to the prince, only a stupid person like me always wants to compare with the prince"

Chen Jinye indulged in boiling tea and drinking tea without raising his head, as if he was enjoying the taste of this tea. After a while, he slowly put down the tea set in his hand.

"This king has never said that Ling'er is stupid, Ling'er, why do you say this?"

"It's been about two months since I came to Nanzhao, right? I didn't realize that the people in my courtyard were all the eyes of the prince. Even the most trusted Xiuxiu was carefully planted by the prince, isn't this enough to prove my stupidity and stupidity? ”

I saw Chen Jinye pull down his face slightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he seemed to be very disdainful, and said: "If this king, the prince, can let you see it at a glance, see it all, and the people who have been cultivated for more than ten years can't get close to you for two months, does that prove that this king is incompetent, useless, stupid, and stupid."

Hong Ling was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect him to say this. Of course, he has been under surveillance for nearly two months. But really, if you can see his tricks at a glance. I don't think it would have taken so long to get the contract. It's just that she has never been able to let go of Xiuxiu's deception of herself, after all, she has always regarded Xiuxiu as her family, and being deceived by her family is unacceptable to Hongling.

Seeing that Hongling was already stunned, Chen Jinye slowly picked up the teacup again, glanced out while tasting tea, and asked slowly, "You should have seen Xiuxiu already, right?" I came here once yesterday and she was already awake."

I saw Hongling pull out of her thoughts in a little panic, "Yes, I've already seen her"

"How have you discussed? Do you want to continue the contract? Or have you changed your mind? ”​

"Lord Wang, I said that I invited you here this time to discuss revenge. How did you change your mind? Of course, we still have to continue the contract."

"Oh? But you look like you clearly have a grudge against Xiuxiu, are you still willing to avenge her? ”​

"I'm afraid the prince forgot, I said last time, not for Xiuxiu, but for myself. For my own sake, I will also avenge myself. ”​

Chen Jinye squinted her eyes and looked Hongling up and down, she really didn't have anything to look at, her embroidered fists were slightly clenched, her body was stiff and obviously she looked like she was lying, her self-righteous truth was always so easy to see through, she always thought she was hiding it well, but she always ignored the details.

"Really? Do you still keep that Xiuxiu? If you don't stay, I'll transfer her back when she's well, and you won't have to worry about it anymore, how about it? ”​

I saw Hongling's eyes shoot over, "The prince is too worried, I don't care if Xiuxiu stays or not, but since she has already lived in my house, she can just be a companion for Xiaoqing, but if she wants to return to the prince very much, then I won't be strong."

The corners of Chen Jinye's mouth hooked slightly, and she could see that Hongling still had Xiuxiu in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it. Immediately, Chen Jinye changed his relaxed posture, leaned on the table with his hands, looked sideways at the door, and said, "That's it, I'll ask her later!" ”

Hongling sat there stiffly, and when she saw Chen Jinye looking out of the door with an indifferent expression, her heart became entangled, and she had to face Xiuxiu again, which was the last thing she wanted to face for the time being, and she wanted to wait for Xiuxiu's injury to heal before thinking about it, but according to Chen Jinye's current attitude, it seemed that he would not give himself such time.

It's just that before that, Hongling still asked unwillingly, "What about our contract?" Do you have to consult with Xiuxiu? ”

Chen Jinye turned his head slightly and glanced at Hongling, "Naturally, Xiuxiu was so badly injured because of you, do you still want to just do it?"

Hong Ling frowned slightly and asked, "Is Xiuxiu very important to you?" ”​

"Have you ever seen a slave or maid in the house who is sick and injured and in pain, and has been personally taken care of by this king, do you say that Xiuxiu and this king are important?"

"Since you value Xiuxiu so much, why do you only let her be a slave in the house? Why don't you accept her as your side concubine? ”​

I saw Chen Jinye laugh a few times, and asked angrily, "You are the wife of this king, what can this king force you to do?" ”

Hongling looked at him suspiciously, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"Although this king appreciates Xiuxiu, it does not mean that this king sees a good thing and wants to include it in his bag, and the relationship between men and women is not only about the love of men and women. Does Ling'er think that one day you can really become the wife of this king because of the king's appreciation? ”​

Hong Ling touched her nose in a daze, she thought of Chen Jinye so much, she was a civilized and civilized modern person, but now she thought of him so badly, she really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so she said embarrassedly: "The prince is such an enlightened person, Ling'er is really clumsy, but it is true, our contract can go as promised, isn't it?" ”​

I saw Chen Jinye snort slightly, then got up and said, "I've been chatting with you for a long time, why don't I go to Xiuxiu and ask her if she is still willing to serve you", as he spoke, Chen Jinye took the lead and walked out of the hall.

Hongling hurriedly got up and followed him, but she hesitated in her heart and didn't know what to do.

When she arrived outside Xiuxiu's door, Hong Ling couldn't help but stop, and Chen Jinye, who had entered the door, glanced back at her, raised her eyebrows very calmly, and said, "What?" I knew that Xiuxiu was so seriously injured, so I didn't dare to see her? ”

Xiuxiu sat up from the bed very nervously after listening to Chen Jinye's words, and said: "The prince is not, it's not about Niangniang, it's Xiuxiu's mistake, it's Xiuxiu who doesn't dare to see Niangniang."

Chen Jinye stared at Hongling steadily, and saw that she was still hesitating in front of the door at such a time, and felt quite unhappy in his heart.

Hong Ling listened to Xiuxiu's words, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, it seemed that she shouldn't treat Xiuxiu like this. Xiuxiu has paid so much for herself, is it her own cold words in exchange? It's just that......

Hong Ling was still hesitating in front of the door when Chen Jinye pulled her into the door, and the frightened Hong Ling looked at Xiuxiu appropriately.

"..."

Hong Ling swallowed her saliva, not knowing how to respond for a while, Chen Jinye saw this situation, so he crossed over to Hong Ling and asked, "Xiuxiu, are you still willing to stay by Liu Ling'er's side?" ”

Hearing Chen Jinye's angry tone, Xiuxiu replied without hesitation: "The slave is naturally willing to stay by Niangniang's side, as long as Niangniang doesn't dislike it."

Hong Ling was still entangled and stood there, and for a while, Chen Jinye's gaze, Xiaoqing's gaze, and Xiuxiu's gaze were all fixed on Hong Ling. Hongling only felt that there was a coax in her head, and she really couldn't respond, so she left a sentence: "Let me think about it", and fled the room as if defeated.

Xiaoqing saw Hongling running out, so she also ran out, leaving only Xiuxiu and Chen Jinye in the room.

"You still want to be by her side?"

"Yes, the prince, the slave still wants to stay by the mother's side"

Chen Jinye sighed slightly, "That's it, if you want to stay by her side, just stay!" I probed her tone just now, she should still care about you, but it may take some time for her to digest it, you can find her own about your affairs, I won't say much about your life experience."

Xiuxiu pursed her lips slightly, and tears inadvertently swept through, "Thank you, Lord Wang."

Chen Jinye turned around and looked at Xiuxiu deeply, "It's only been two months, and you care about her so much?" ”

"Lord, the slave has lost her relatives, since she grew up so much, although she has been protected and taught by the prince for many years, only the mother treats me as a close relative, Xiuxiu feels as if she has a family again, I don't want to lose her, just like I don't want to lose my own family again"

Chen Jinye stared at Xiuxiu for a long time, and said slowly: "In this way, I will know", and with that, Chen Jinye turned around and went in the direction of Hongling......
