Chapter 141 How can His Majesty be more playful than the Princess?

Xie Lao thought of the girl who had thrown the sachet to his brother during the day. Could it be that this boy had sneaked out of the palace to meet that girl secretly?

Realizing that he might have guessed Xie Yun's whereabouts, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Hearing Qi Junqi's question again, Xie Lao's nerves tensed up and his palms began to sweat.

"Your Majesty, maybe I am not familiar with the palace and got lost accidentally..."

Qi Junqi casually said, "I heard that the top scholar in literature received a scent bag from a girl while he was parading in broad daylight. Does the top scholar in martial arts know which girl this is?"

When everyone heard this, they all pricked up their ears to gossip.

This is fresh news, and His Majesty asked it himself.

You must listen carefully!

Prime Minister Xie was also surprised. It turned out that ever since the two brothers recognized their ancestral home, they had never been close to women, whether at home or out.

Although Xie Lao usually had a gloomy face and was very cold, at least there were still one or two maids in the courtyard to do the chores.

Although Xie Yun was usually gentle in nature, he was even more resistant to women than Xie Lao. He didn't even have a maid in the courtyard, and all he had to serve were servants.

This made the whole family suspect that he had a homosexual tendency, and Prime Minister Xie was also very worried.

Now it seems that the whole family misunderstood.

When Prime Minister Xie heard these words, he was even more delighted.

Xie Lao: "Your Majesty, I don't know exactly, but I think she is a young lady from a humble family."

"Oh?" Qi Junqi put his fist to his lips to suppress the corners of his lips that were twitching slightly, so as not to burst out laughing on the spot, "I am very interested in which girl is so capable that she can win the top scholar in literature who is as bright as the breeze and the moon."

"I heard that after you two brothers returned to the Xie family, especially Wen Zhuangyuan, you never approached women and didn't even keep a maid in the courtyard."

Xie Lao paused: "Yes, Your Majesty, it is true."

Qi Junqi said meaningfully: "It seems that the Xie family is about to have three good things happen..."

Thank you, Prime Minister: "I, your Majesty, wish you good luck."

Upon seeing this, the ministers looked at Xie Lao again.

Those who had daughters or granddaughters in their families all became interested. Some ministers who were close to the prime minister even asked the old prime minister Xie about Xie Lao's marriage.

Until the end of the banquet, neither Xie Lao nor Qi Yue showed up.

Although Prime Minister Xie was somewhat dissatisfied with Xie Yun's behavior, he was really happy today, and Qi Junqi did not blame him too much, so he let it go.

But Xie Lao's face looked very bad. When the banquet was over, Xie Yun was nowhere to be seen. His face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

When Prime Minister Xie saw the expression on his grandson's face, he was also a little frightened. He quickly restrained his expression and said seriously, "Lao'er, grandfather has sent people to look for Yun'er. If there is anything, let's go home and talk about it."

Xie Luo frowned and let out a sigh of frustration, "Yes, Grandfather."

Qi Junqi returned to Ganzheng Hall and suddenly remembered what happened in the imperial study. A hint of amusement appeared on his face again.

He summoned Xun An and told him to go directly to the Moon Palace to announce the decree, and added: "Do it quietly, and remember not to publicize it. Just teach Xie Lao a lesson, and don't make a big fuss or the imperial sister will be unhappy."

Xun An responded and withdrew, saying with relief in his heart: Since the eldest princess came back, His Majesty's mood has also improved a lot.

Inside the Moon Palace bedroom.

The bed was in a mess. Xie Yun got off the bed, put on his clothes, wrapped himself in a thin blanket, and carried Qi Yue out of the bedroom.

Outside the door, it was completely dark.

The moon and stars are sparse.

He Xiang opened the door upon hearing the sound, and seeing this, she lowered her head and led the way for him, and sent him to the gate of Yueqing Pond, where warm water had already been placed.

Xie Yun carried Qi Yue straight to the edge of the pool, put her down, took off his clothes, and then untied the thin blanket.

She leaned in Xie Yun's arms and was carried into the pool by him.

Qi Yue half-closed his eyes and began to feel drowsy.

Seeing the tiredness on her face, Xie Yun's face was full of satisfaction. He held her in his arms and cleaned her gently and carefully.

He Xiang Lengyue, who was guarding the gate outside, heard Xun An coming and hurried to the palace gate to greet him.

After bringing the person to the main hall, Xun An directly orally stated Qi Junqi's order.

After hearing this, He Xiang Leng Yue was confused.

Especially He Xiang, she felt like she was punched and she almost couldn't recover.

"Eunuch Xun'an, you must be mistaken. How could the top martial arts scholar ask His Majesty to marry me? If he did, he would have to ask for the princess!"

Xun An smiled and said, "Miss He Xiang, yes, it is you. His Majesty even asked the martial arts champion twice!"

He Xiang immediately revealed an expression that was uglier than crying, turned around and lay in Leng Yue's arms and began to cry.

"I don't want that cold-faced charcoal man... Is he sick? Why would he mess with a maid like me? If the princess knew, she would think I was trying to steal her man..."

"Then I am so wronged... Ah Yue, do you think Wu Zhuangyuan is not smart enough?"

Seeing He Xiang so sad, Xun An touched his nose and was about to comfort her and explain a few words.

He Xiang suddenly jumped up, raised her head and shouted angrily: "I, He Xiang, am the princess's person in life and her ghost in death! He is a two-hearted, cold-faced, black charcoal scum. I will clean up the mess for the princess!"

Leng Yue held down her fist that was clenched in excitement and reminded her, "He is the champion of martial arts, you can't beat him."

He Xiang: ...

She let out a howl and fell back into Leng Yue's arms, crying bitterly.

Fortunately, the little eunuch Xun'an brought with him was his godson.

He really couldn't help it, so he told He Xiang about Qi Junqi deliberately teasing Xie Lao, and only then did He Xiang stop crying.

She said aggrievedly: "How come your majesty likes to play more than the princess? It's really outrageous..."

"Oh, Miss He Xiang, be careful with your words!" Xun An frowned and reminded her, pointing at the young eunuch and saying, "Go to bed early. I'll ask Xiao Tongzi to escort you out of the palace tomorrow morning."

Xiao Tongzi looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and had a very delicate appearance. "Aunt Hexiang, Aunt Lengyue."

He Xiang asked again: "Can I tell the princess about this?"

Xun An: “Okay.”

After sending the two away, He Xiang waited for a while before Xie Yun came out of Yueqing Pool holding Qi Yue.

Before she could say anything, Xie Yun's gentle eyes seemed to shoot out a cold light, freezing her steps.

Then a voice floated: "The princess has fallen asleep, leave."

He Xiang gritted her teeth and could only slow down her pace and follow behind with two or three steps behind.

The bed in the bedroom had already been replaced by the palace maids with a dry new mattress, pillow and thin quilt.

Just as Xie Yun carried Qi Yue back to the bedroom, Gu Qingyu arrived at the Moon Palace.
