Banqin watched Cheng Jiaoniang get up and go to the inner room, and couldn't help but look at Prince Jin'an who was still half-kneeling.
It seemed that Cheng Jiaoniang was a little surprised when she suddenly stood up and walked away. She still kept her hand outstretched, looking a little...awkward.
Banqin couldn't help but hold her hand, bit her lower lip, and hesitated for a moment.
"Your Highness, my wife, she has no other meaning when she speaks..." She took a step forward and whispered.
Before he finished speaking, Prince Jin'an had already gone inward.
"...If I don't need Dr. Li to see me, how about a bowl of medicinal tea soup?" he asked, not hearing Banqin's words at all.
Banqin stopped talking, looked at the two people who entered the inner room, relaxed slightly, and frowned again.
Su Xin was coming in when the maid who heard the noise outside the door called her.
"What's wrong?" she asked nervously.
Banqin didn't know what to say. When she said something was wrong, she actually didn't know what it was. She said it was okay. It didn't look like it was okay.
"Sister, Your Highness asked me to make medicinal tea soup." She pulled Su Xin's sleeve and whispered.
Your Highness asked me to do it? Not a lady?
Su Xin's eyebrows were a little surprised. When Ban Qin had something to say, she hurriedly followed her out.
"…that's all?"
After listening to Banqin's story, Su Xin was even more surprised.
Banqin nodded.
"Is this a quarrel?" she asked with a bit of worry.
Is this a quarrel?
"That's not true." Su Xin said, "Didn't I tell you that I just don't like His Highness to call her A Fang? I've said it before."
He nodded and reached out to pat Banqin.
"Don't think too much. Don't you know what kind of person my wife is? Whatever she says is what she says."
Banqin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look back at the room.
I hope that His Highness the County Prince will not think too much...
The room was as quiet as ever, but the atmosphere was still a little different.
Prince Jin'an looked at Cheng Jiaoniang sitting down on the couch.
"I..." she opened her mouth and said.
Before he could say anything, Prince Jin'an had already gone over and put out his hand to put the pillows in place.
"Just lie down for a while," he said, with a bit of worry.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him and lay down.
"I want to myself..." she said again.
Prince Jin'an still spoke first.
"Cheng Fang, I don't know how to call you." He sat down next to the couch and said a little apologetically, "I want to get married. It's always a bit rude to call you by your name."
Then there is the nickname.
Prince Jin'an reached for the fan beside him and looked away.
"I don't want them to call you those things." He muttered quickly, got the fan and sat upright to look at Cheng Jiaoniang, "Then I will remember it and I won't do it again in the future."
Fan her while talking.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him for a moment.
"It's just a title." She said.
The title is not important, what is important is the person you are addressing. The person in front of you is not Yang Shan. She cannot do such unreasonable things.
"I won't be like this anymore. Just call me whatever you like." Cheng Jiaoniang smiled at him and said.
A trace of surprise flashed in Prince Jin'an's eyes, but it was more of a surprise.
I won't do this again.
Is this an apology?
She actually apologizes?
It seems that I can't always follow her. If I leave her alone and leave like this, I guess this matter will be revealed like this. She will never mention it again, and she will never say anything like this.
words.
The smile on Prince Jin'an's face spread, and the fan in his hand shook more gently.
"It's not right for you to think that way." He said, and at this point he pushed his hand towards her, somewhat casually, "Move in and let me sit on it."
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him.
"...You are really..." She murmured softly, stood up and moved inside.
No one dares to pester her like this, Prince Jin'an said with a bit of pride, because they don't know how good-tempered she is.
He pretended not to hear, sat cross-legged on the couch, and continued to shake the fan in his hand.
"How can you say that I can do whatever I like?" he said, "Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about others if I like it?"
Having said this, he was stunned again.
"It seems so." He nodded again.
Otherwise, he would not have thrown the beaten to death at someone else's door, and even deliberately frightened the Queen Mother.
This is what he likes, and he doesn't care whether others like it or not.
"Am I the kind of person who doesn't care about you if I like you?" He said in another sentence.
Cheng Jiaoniang looked at him in slight astonishment and burst into laughter.
The originally dull expression suddenly bloomed, and a pair of big, black eyes shone brightly.
She was rarely made fun of, and probably no one would make her laugh.
Prince Jin'an couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.
"Cheng Fang, don't be unhappy. If you are unhappy, I will be a little scared," he said.
Cheng Jiaoniang's body froze slightly, and the smile on her face froze, but soon returned to normal, and it seemed that there was no man's hand touching her cheek.
"I'm not unhappy," she said, "I'm just..."
At this point she paused.
She had never been able to speak but hesitated.
Prince Jin'an threw down his fan and reached out with his other hand to hold her face.
"Just what?" he asked.
Although this action was a bit strange, he asked very seriously...
"It's just that I've never been happy." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
Never been happy.
Although she often lamented that she was worse off than herself, she never said anything. At this time, such a simple sentence, which was not even a complaint or sigh, came into her ears. King Jin'an felt a palpitation in his heart, and at the same time, he felt
A bit of joy, just like when the sixth brother reached out to him for the first time when he was a child, grabbing him and calling him brother with a sweet voice.
That's the feeling of being trusted.
Prince Jin'an's heart felt a little bulging. Looking at the fair face, slender eyebrows, bright eyes, and small mouth in front of him, he couldn't help but leaned over and hugged her, just like he had hugged her before.
Like the little sixth brother, he wanted to kiss her.
The warm lips touched the cheek, and the soft and slightly hard skin touched, causing the two people who were originally unconscious to shudder at the same time, and their bodies froze instantly.
This, this, this is different from the feeling of kissing Brother Sixth...
Prince Jin'an felt as if a pot of oil had been poured on his body and a fire was lit. His blood was boiling and running wildly in his body. He could not sit still, so he was suppressed.
He remembered that he had held her in his arms. Although he tried his best to suppress that feeling, he would still think of it occasionally late at night, leaving him unable to sleep for a moment.
The feeling at this moment is different from the feeling of standing and hugging me before. The body being pressed under me is like a soft brocade quilt.
Prince Jin'an made a rumble in his throat and murmured indistinctly. He stretched out his hand to grasp the waist of the person under him, and the lips on his cheek slid towards Cheng Jiaoniang's lips without hesitation and accuracy.
.
Banqin and Suxin, who were squatting under the window, fell backwards as if they had been punched in the face. They were a little embarrassed but did not dare to make a sound and ran away with their hands and feet.
At the same time, there was a thud behind him.
But Banqin and Suxin had no time to pay attention. They stood under a tree nearby and looked at each other, looking at each other's red faces.
"I just told you not to worry." Su Xin stammered, "As a couple, they bicker at the end of the bed and make peace at the end of the bed."
Banqin wanted to say something to respond, but couldn't, so she blushed and smiled.
"Don't drag me into doing this kind of thing in the future." Su Xin said with a glare.
Ban Qin didn't say anything but still laughed, and Su Xin couldn't help but laugh.
While the two were laughing, Eunuch Jing came in anxiously outside the courtyard gate.
"Your Highness, Your Highness." he shouted.
Banqin and Suxin were startled and quickly reached out to stop him.
"I have something important to say." Eunuch Jing said with a frown.
"Your Highness and Madam...are busy." Banqin said with a red face.
What are they busy with?
Duke Jing stamped his feet.
"Stop making trouble, it's really important." He said, pushing the girl who was blocking his way without any explanation.
Although he had been disabled since he was in the palace since he was a child, he had not lost his kung fu. The two girls could not stop him, so they gently pushed past him and climbed up the steps.
Su Xin and Banqin were panicked. Fortunately, Eunuch Jing did not rush in directly, but stood outside the door and saluted.
"Your Highness, Your Highness," he shouted.
Upon hearing this, Your Highness, Prince Jin'an, who was sitting on the ground looking a little embarrassed, quickly stood up and ran out as if running away.
Walking out of the inner room, Prince Jin'an felt a little regretful.
I wonder what his complexion looks like? Are his clothes neat?
You should clean it up in a clean room first.
Eunuch Jing is a mother-in-law, but even if he wants to ask, he can just stop him by telling him to shut up. What's the point of his clothes being messy in his own house...
He was thinking wildly, but Eunuch Jing saw him through the curtain and hurried in without waiting to say anything. It was even more difficult for Prince Jin'an to turn around and go to the clean room again.
"Your Highness." Eunuch Jing did not check his expression first as usual, but spoke hastily, "It's not good."
…………………………………………….
At the same time, Chen Shaozheng, who had returned, dropped his tea bowl heavily on the tables.
"What's wrong?" He said with a bit of displeasure, "You still ask what's wrong?"
Mrs. Chen felt a little aggrieved.
"It's not uncommon for someone to come to the palace to accompany you to study." She said, with a bit of anger, "Since the master can't say it, then I will tell the eighteenth mother not to let the nineteenth mother go."
Chen Shao sighed.
"Of course it's not a bad thing to go to the palace to study with you. What I mean is that it's not a good thing to do at this time." He said, then paused for a moment, "Now, the Queen Mother is choosing a concubine for the Crown Prince, and Dan Niang is also young.
It’s time to avoid it.”
Mrs. Chen suddenly understood and immediately smiled again.
"This is what I am taboo about." She smiled and gave him another cup of tea. "Even if the Queen Mother sees Dan Niang and likes it, it will be fine if we don't agree. If the Queen Mother is serious, she will naturally ask you, Master.
Are you the kind of person who dare not say no to the Queen Mother?"
Not to mention rejecting the Queen Mother, he had done so many times to reject Her Majesty's affairs. Chen Shao took the tea bowl and frowned.
"Just if..." He was about to speak, and the maid outside the door came quickly.
"Master, please come over and talk."
Chen Shao quickly stopped talking and put down his tea bowl.
"I changed my clothes and was about to go," he said, but was delayed because Mrs. Chen said that the Queen Mother had given Dan Niang a reward.
Just as he was about to step out, the steward of the family came in quickly again.
"Master, a decree has been sent to the palace," he said.
It was not uncommon for the Chen family to accept orders from the palace, so there was no panic at all.
But what purpose is being preached at this time?
Moreover, generally speaking, the so-called conveying the order is just a formality. The person conveying the order and the person receiving the order have already communicated in advance.
Chen Shao frowned.
What is the purpose of such a sudden announcement with no news at all?
………………………………………….
"What's wrong?" Prince Jin'an asked with a frown, reaching out and straightening his clothes casually.
Eunuch Jing didn't even notice his little move.
"The Queen Mother issued an edict to appoint the Crown Princess." He said hurriedly.
The prince of Jin'an County was startled.
"Who is it?" he asked nervously immediately.
But there was a voice louder than his.
"Issuing an edict?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, and when the voice came, people also came out.
Prince Jin'an ignored his words and turned around to look at her.
"You mean, the Queen Mother appointed the Crown Princess by issuing an edict?" Cheng Jiaoniang looked at Eunuch Jing and asked again.
Talking over my husband...how rude.
Eunuch Jing muttered dissatisfiedly and rushed to Cheng Jiaoniang to salute.
"The Queen Mother has issued an edict to select the 19th lady of Chen Shao and Prime Minister Chen's family as the crown princess." He said, emphatically replying to the words of the Jin'an County Prince.
Chen family!
The prince of Jin'an County looked surprised.
Cheng Jiaoniang's expression darkened.
"I'm issuing an edict," she said slowly.
………………………………………….
As soon as Mr. Chen, who was standing in the hall, let go of his hand, the long bow fell to the ground. The heavy bow hit the ground with a muffled sound, which made the maids inside and outside look over in surprise.
