The selfishness and hypocrisy passed down from generation to generation in the Xie family can be clearly seen on Mr. Xie’s face.
When it comes to acting, Xie Mingxi never loses to anyone, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, grandpa."
He also reminded with concern: "The princess has a valuable status and has the support of my father and brother. Grandpa, please don't get into trouble with the princess because of me."
Mr. Xie immediately snorted: "There is no such thing in the world for a daughter-in-law to disrespect her father-in-law. You don't need to worry about such trivial matters."
Xie Jun followed Mr. Xie's words and said, "Ming Niang, you don't have to worry about these things. Just go to the academy to study with peace of mind. Leave these matters to me."
Xie Mingxi showed emotion at the right time, thanked her, and sighed with pretense of worry: "Father, I always feel that there is something fishy about what mother mentioned today."
"In the past few years, I have never set foot in the Huainan Prince's Mansion. The Huainan Prince and his son have never taken the initiative to mention me. Now they suddenly ask me to come to the house. There must be a plan in this."
"Since I am the future seventh princess, I have to worry about some things. Therefore, when the princess mentioned this matter just now, I deliberately angered her with my words. In this way, she will not mention the matter of asking me to come to the house again.
"
"I'm just worried that the Huainan Palace won't give up. In the future, they will find excuses to make me come to the house to plot against me, the Xie family, and the Seventh Prince."
Xie Jun was reminded of this, and his expression turned serious.
Yes! What are the plans of the Huainan Prince and his son?
Xie Jun thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "What Ming Niang said makes sense. I didn't think about it well before, and I was coaxed by the princess with sweet words, so I didn't think much about it."
Maybe he was carried away by the benefits promised by King Huainan!
Xie Mingxi was stunned, but she didn't say it clearly. She said softly: "Anyway, father should be more careful."
Xie Jun and Mr. Xie quickly looked at each other, and then Xie Jun said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to go to Huainan Prince's Mansion, I will stop it for you as a father."
Mr. Xie also said: "Your surname is Xie, not Sheng. The King of Huainan is just your nominal grandfather. With me as your direct grandfather, no matter how long his hands are, he can't control you."
A smile flashed in Xie Mingxi's eyes.
Digging holes and letting people jump is always a pleasant thing.
Let Mr. Xie Jun and his son handle the Huainan Prince's Mansion!
Xie Mingxi naturally mentioned the matter of going to Lianchi Academy to stay: "... Master and I have made an agreement that I will go to the academy to stay tomorrow. I will return to my house when I have a rest."
Queen Yu was in great power in the palace, and there were countless people who wanted to curry favor with her. As Queen Yu's good friend, Gu Shanchang also became more and more popular. Xie Mingxi and Gu Shanchang had a deep master-disciple relationship, and Xie Jun simply couldn't ask for it, so he immediately agreed.
…
After returning to Chunjin Pavilion, Xie Mingxi took a bath and changed clothes, and slept particularly soundly on the familiar bed.
In the early morning of the next day, while eating the breakfast carefully prepared by Ye Qiuniang, Xie Mingxi couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "In the past three months, what I have missed most is Qiuniang's cooking skills."
It's okay to bring a maid with you during spring hunting, but there's no reason why you should also bring a cook with you.
The cooking skills of the royal chef in the palace are naturally excellent. However, after getting used to Ye Qiuniang's exquisite cooking skills, Xie Mingxi's tongue has become more and more picky.
Ye Qiuniang, who had married Yu An and had her hair tied up in a bun, was a bit brighter than before. When she heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Wherever the lady goes from now on, I will follow her."
Xie Mingxi smiled and said, "If you don't tell me, I have to take you with me." Then, he ordered Congyu Fuyu: "Pack your clothes, and you two, together with Qiuniang, follow me to the academy."
Lianchi Academy is a place for studying, it is quiet and quiet. Ruoyao is the only one beside Mr. Gu. She went to live with Mr. Gu and it was not convenient to bring more maids. In addition to Fuyu, she only brought Congyu and Ye Qiuniang.
Take the order from Yu Fuyu and retreat.
Ye Qiuniang also accepted the order with a smile.
Xie Mingxi joked to Ye Qiuniang again with a smile: "You don't have to stay in the academy at night. You and Yu An have just been married, so it's time for you to stay together day and night."
Ye Qiuniang blushed slightly, feeling both happy and moved.
Xie Mingxi always thinks about her and Yu An. She has nothing to do in return, so she can only prepare three meals a day with more care.
…
The next day, Lotus Pond Academy.
Every morning, girls come and go outside the academy gate, which is the busiest time of the day.
When Xie Mingxi's figure appeared at the entrance of the academy, it immediately attracted the attention of many girls.
"Let me take a look, too. The Sixth Princess... No, His Highness the Seventh Prince is here too?"
"What are you talking about? His Highness, the Seventh Prince, has recovered his male body. How can he come to Lotus Pond Academy again in the future?"
"I heard that His Highness's injury has not recovered yet and he is still recovering in the palace. Even if the injury is healed, it is time to go to Songzhu Academy to study. In short, it is impossible to come to Lianchi Academy again."
"I really miss the days when the 'Beijing Sisters' appeared together! Now, Senior Sister Xie is the only one."
"That's not what you say. Senior Sister Xie and His Highness the Seventh Prince have already made an engagement. From now on, the 'Beijing Twins' will be a pair of gods and goddesses, and they will form a pair."
The girls' eyes were shining with excitement, and they were whispering with their heads leaning against each other. They thought their voices were kept very low so that Xie Mingxi would not hear them.
Little did he know that Xie Mingxi could read lips. With a glance, he could catch the whispers of several girls in the distance.
This familiar scene in front of me is really nostalgic.
In the past, on the second day after every monthly or annual exam, she would always be greeted by the envious and adoring eyes of these lively and lovely girls.
Xie Mingxi's lips curved slightly, and a smile flashed in her eyes.
…
"Thank you sister!"
A very familiar and cheerful girl's voice sounded behind her.
Xie Mingxi didn't have to look back to know who was coming. The smile in her eyes became deeper, and she turned around and greeted with a smile: "Sister Yin, it's such a coincidence that we met here."
The girl is tall, pretty, cheerful and bright. Who else could she be if not Yin Xiaoxiao?
Yin Xiaoxiao grinned and took Xie Mingxi's hand affectionately: "We all know that you returned to Beijing with the Seventh Prince yesterday. Everyone is guessing whether you will come to the academy today."
"I didn't expect you to actually come!"
"Why don't you just rest for two days?"
The familiar environment, familiar classmates, and familiar friendly banter made Xie Mingxi feel happy. She smiled and replied: "I haven't been to the academy for so long. Maybe I haven't seen you for a long time. I remember it a lot. Where can I stay at home?"
Yin Xiaoxiao blinked and smiled: "We have also been thinking about you and the Sixth Princess... No, it's the Seventh Prince!"
Then, he muttered in a low voice: "I'm used to calling you Sixth Princess, and now I have to change my title. I'm really not used to it. The prince pretended to be a girl and deceived us for three years! It's so annoying!"
