Hu Die thought it was no coincidence at all, she didn't want to see Wang Yian.
However, she was Xi Yan's guard and could not offend the Wang family easily, so she replied perfunctorily: "I just came out to see the lanterns, so I won't disturb the prince..."
Before she could finish her words, Wang Yian suddenly asked: "This young master looks strange, which young master from aristocratic family is he?"
Hu Die turned to look at Jian Junyi and met his calm eyes.
She was a little overwhelmed at first, but when she met his eyes, she instantly felt at ease: "This is Mr. Jian Junyi, the eldest son of the current magistrate of Suzhou. He is currently working for His Highness."
She feels that Jian Junyi is so capable and has a bright future.
She then introduced Wang Yian to Jian Junyi: "This is the prince of Cao Guogong's palace."
Jian Junyi nodded slightly to Wang Yian as a greeting, while Wang Yian looked at Jian Junyi up and down with critical eyes.
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, Jian Junyi's family background is not bad, and he is helping Zhou Mu. When Zhou Mu becomes the crown prince, Jian Junyi will definitely be reused.
Although he was the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, he did not hold an official position and did not take the imperial examination. He was only better than Jian Junyi at home.
When he was wary of comparing himself with Jian Junyi, he frowned unconsciously.
It was impossible for Hu Die to be with him, so how could he be confused just because of the appearance of Jian Junyi?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and his expression became a little stiff.
Hu Die had no intention of getting entangled with Wang Yi'an. At this moment, Jian Junyi suddenly took her hand: "Xiaodie, let's not disturb the Crown Prince, shall we go?"
Hu Die lowered her head and looked at Jian Junyi who suddenly held her hand, not knowing how to react.
She passively followed Jian Junyi forward, focusing all her attention on their linked hands.
Jian Junyi actually held her hand!!!
Zhou Mu often holds Gu Xiyan's hand, but they are husband and wife, but she and Jian Junyi are just friends. Are they allowed to hold hands?
She tried to struggle, but Jian Junyi held her hand tightly.
She felt the sweat on the man's palms and followed Jian Junyi away with a confused look on her face, completely forgetting Wang Yian's existence.
Wang Yian stood there and watched Jian Junyi lead Hu Die away. Jian Junyi was declaring his autonomy over Hu Die to him. It was clear that the boy was unmarried and the girl was unmarried.
With Jian Junyi's life experience, would Prefect Jian allow Jian Junyi to marry a woman with nothing like Hu Die?
Mrs. Huang couldn't help but feel disgusted when she saw Wang Yi'an staring at Hu Die's back.
The girl named Xiaodie obviously has a close friend, but the prince is still looking at her. She thinks that Hu Die is not as good-looking as her.
"Master, let's go there for a walk?" Huang said in a low voice.
How could Wang Yian still be interested in hanging out? After seeing Jian Junyi and Hu Die together, he felt like he had swallowed a bite of a fly, and he felt angry that something he liked had been taken away.
But he was not one of Hu Die's people, and he didn't even have the right to be angry.
At this time, Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu suddenly appeared. Seeing this, Wang Yian hurriedly saluted them.
Only then did Huang realize that the outstanding-looking pair in front of her were the eldest prince and his concubine. The sight of the two standing together was simply not a good look.
"What a coincidence, Prince Wang actually came out to enjoy the lanterns." Gu Xiyan said with a smile.
Wang Yi'an really couldn't laugh, and he couldn't be rude to Gu Xiyan, so he could only reply stiffly: "Yes, what a coincidence, I met Xiaodie just now."
"Did she come out alone?" Gu Xiyan looked surprised.
Zhou Mu heard this and looked at his little wife.
It was clear that this girl was spying on Hu and Jane while they were in love, but now she pretended not to know anything, making him dumbfounded.
Wang Yian couldn't help but ask at this moment: "I saw Xiaodie and a young master together. The young master's surname is Jian. The two seem to be close. Will this damage Xiaodie's reputation?"
The implication is that she wants Gu Xiyan to control Hu Die more strictly, otherwise she will be deceived by a man and she will not know what happened.
"Young Master Wang is not talking about Jian Junyi, right?" Gu Xiyan looked startled. She looked at Zhou Mu and said: "Young Master, Young Master Jian is yours. If he tarnishes Xiaodie's reputation, then he is the Young Master.
If the emperor is not strict, the young master will bear full responsibility."
Zhou Mu was very cooperative with Gu Xiyan: "Then what should I do according to Madam's wishes?"
"Of course I want to prevent Jian Junyi from ruining Xiaodie's reputation. Xiaodie is my guard, and I can't let her suffer any injustice. If Jian Junyi damages Xiaodie's reputation, then Jian Junyi must be responsible for Xiaodie.
"Gu Xiyan's last sentence is the key point.
She just wanted to let Wang Yian know that Hu Die had her and Zhou Mu's support, and Wang Yian, a playboy, must not provoke Hu Die, otherwise the couple would be the first to let Wang Yian go.
"It's a simple matter. I think Jun Yi likes Xiaodie very much, so why not let Jun Yi choose a good and auspicious day so that the two of them can get married as soon as possible." Zhou Mu followed his good intentions and suddenly dropped a heavy bomb.
Wang Yi'an's expression changed, and he blurted out: "Marriage is a major event in life and cannot be taken carelessly. Your Highness, please think twice. Furthermore, it depends on Xiaodie's intention. Your Highness must not decide the rest of Xiaodie's life with just a few words."
"This is natural. I will ask Xiaodie what she wants first. If Xiaodie is willing to marry, I believe Jun Yi will not have any objections." Zhou Mu responded quietly.
Wang Yi'an held his breath, unable to get up or down.
If he had known this, he should not have mentioned Jian Junyi in front of the couple. If the marriage between Jian Junyi and Xiaodie really happened, what would he do?
Thinking of this, he himself was shocked.
Obviously he knows that there is no future between him and Xiaodie, and he cannot marry Xiaodie. It is certainly impossible for a wealthy family like Guogong Mansion to let Xiaodie in. In this case, who Xiaodie marries has nothing to do with him.
What does it matter?
"The prince continues to play, my wife and I will go over there to enjoy the lanterns." Zhou Mu didn't want to waste time on outsiders on a day like today, so after saying that, he pulled Gu Xiyan away.
Wang Yian was no longer in the mood to enjoy the lanterns. He went back home, but Huang hadn't had enough shopping. As soon as she opened her mouth, she was frightened into silence by Wang Yian's cold stare.
After that, Huang followed Wang Yi'an aggrievedly, secretly complaining that everyone used to say that the prince liked the new and disliked the old, but now she had a deep understanding of the meaning of this.
Obviously before meeting Hu Die, the prince was very kind to her, but after meeting Hu Die, she was disliked by the prince. How could she change her heart so quickly?
Huang's mentality was quite correct. After all, she had heard of Wang Yian's reputation as a romantic woman before she met Wang Yian.
It is really in line with Wang Yian's temperament for Wang Yi'an to suddenly fall in love with someone else.
