Chapter 225 This is something good your mother prepared

In the banquet hall, the musicians played melodious music, and the sounds of stringed instruments blended with the laughter of the guests.

Ever since Xie Lan left, Xie Ying had been looking towards the door from time to time, wanting to go over and quietly check on the progress, but she was worried about being noticed.

Just when she was distracted, a maid came over with a teapot and whispered in Xie Ying's ear while pouring tea: "Miss Xie, Prince Kang wants to meet you in the Plum Garden."

What? Prince Kang asked her to meet him?

Xie Ying came back to her senses instantly and looked at the maid beside her with surprise.

She was wondering if she had heard it wrong, but she saw the maid quickly put a folded piece of paper into her palm with the help of her sleeve, and then retreated to the corner as if nothing had happened.

Xie Ying frowned. She shouldn't have accepted such a piece of paper of unknown origin.

She subconsciously wanted to return the paper in her hand, but thinking of what the maid had just said, she hesitated for a moment and finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Xie Ying silently repeated the name she had missed countless times twice in her heart, suppressing the sweetness in her heart.

Then he raised his eyes and looked around calmly, and found that the ladies next to him were attracted by the dancer's wonderful performance, so he quietly opened the paper in his hand.

The piece of paper was not big, and there were only a few words on it. But Xie Ying only glanced at it, and her eyes sparkled with a surprising light.

Prince Kang actually said that he had admired her for a long time and wanted to take advantage of today's banquet to ask her to meet him in the Plum Garden.

Xie Ying tightly grasped the paper in her hand, turning the words over and over, savoring them carefully. She was so excited that she almost cried with joy.

It turned out that it was Prince Kang who asked her to meet him in the Plum Garden, and he also said that he had admired her for a long time.

Could it be that he had finally sensed the love she had been thinking about? When Xie Ying heard from the maid that Prince Kang wanted to ask her out, she was still skeptical.

After all, although she knew Prince Kang and fell in love with him at first sight four years ago, she and Prince Kang had never had any relationship.

It's not that she didn't want to, but with her identity, she had no chance to get to know Prince Kang.

Her father was just a small clerk in the Imperial Household Department, while Prince Kang was not only handsome but also had an extraordinary bearing.

Most importantly, he is the only legitimate son of King Kang, born to King Kang’s legitimate wife, and has pure and noble blood.

He carries the future of the Prince Kang's Mansion. In the future, the title of Prince Kang and the entire Prince Kang's Mansion will be inherited by him.

Throughout Kyoto, there were countless ladies who were infatuated with him.

Xie Ying was just one of the countless ladies, and she knew very well that with her status, she had no chance of marrying the Prince of Kang.

Not to mention being the Crown Prince's wife, she is not even qualified to be a concubine.

Princess Huaining promised to adopt her as her adopted daughter after the matter was accomplished, and would also find an opportunity to introduce her to Princess Kang.

But Princess Huaining also said that with her status, she could at most marry the Prince of Kang as a concubine.

Xie Ying has admired Prince Kang for many years and dreams of marrying him and becoming his consort.

She didn't want to be a concubine, but she also knew that with her status, being able to marry into Prince Kang's palace was already her best way out.

Xie Ying had originally accepted her fate and could only become the concubine of Prince Kang.

But now that she knows that Prince Kang also loves her, doesn't that mean she has a chance to marry him and become his consort?

She must seize this opportunity to meet Prince Kang.

Although her status was low, if she could make the prince of Kang fall deeply in love with her, he would marry her. Presumably, for the sake of their only legitimate son, the prince and his wife would have no choice but to agree to marry her.

The more Xie Ying thought about it, the happier she became, her mind filled with wonderful fantasies of becoming the Crown Prince's consort.

At this moment, she had lost her mind and had no time to think. With the status of the Crown Prince of Kang, he could marry any noble lady he wanted. How could he be interested in her, the daughter of a seventh-rank official whose appearance was only considered pretty?

Seeing Xie Ying walking out of the banquet hall with a light step, the maid in the corner who had just handed her the paper also quietly followed her out while no one was paying attention.

Tiechui, who had changed his appearance and was dressed as a maid, looked at Xie Ying who was heading towards the Plum Garden, smiled sarcastically, and turned to look for Xie Lan.

"Miss, Xie Ying has taken the bait and gone to the Plum Garden. I will go and knock her out and bring her back."

Xie Lan nodded with satisfaction and handed over the talisman in his hand, "Okay, take this invisibility talisman with you, so as not to be seen by the guards of the princess's mansion."

Tiechui did not take it lightly. He took the talisman and left.

In the Plum Garden, Xie Ying was waiting for the arrival of Prince Kang with great anticipation, when suddenly she felt a pain in the back of her neck and passed out.

When Xie Ying opened her eyes again, she saw Xie Lan and was surprised. "Big sister, why are you here?"

Before Xie Lan could say anything, Xie Ying suddenly noticed that she was lying on the ground. She stood up and looked around. "Why am I here? Where is this place?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly remembered that he was waiting for Prince Kang in the Plum Garden, but was secretly knocked unconscious by someone.

Xie Ying stared at Xie Lan, "Did you knock me out and bring me here?"

Xie Lan smiled faintly, "So what?"

At that moment, Xie Ying felt a surge of rage rushing to her head, and she wished she could strangle the evildoer in front of her to death.

But thinking that Prince Kang was waiting for him in the plum garden, he could only suppress his anger.

“Big sister, this is the princess’s residence. If you are dissatisfied with me, let’s discuss it after we return to the residence.

The party isn't over yet, I have to go back first, lest my mother gets worried when she can't see me later."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Xie Ying said this and turned away.

Xie Lan looked at her from behind and sneered, "Second sister is so anxious, not because she is afraid that your mother will worry, but because she is afraid that Prince Kang will not be able to wait for you, so she is in a hurry to leave, right?"

Xie Ying paused, and was shocked at the same time, but she tried her best to look calm on her face, "I don't know what big sister is talking about, I have to go back to find my mother."

Xie Ying didn't know why Xie Lan knew that Prince Kang was waiting for her, but at the moment she didn't have time to think about anything else.

Now, nothing is more important than her meeting Prince Kang.

Xie Ying turned to leave again, but just as she raised her foot, she was stopped in place by Xie Lan's words.

"Second sister, you want to go to the Plum Garden? I advise you not to go. You won't be able to see the Crown Prince Kang."

Xie Ying didn't want to pay attention to Xie Lan, but after hearing this, she subconsciously blurted out, "Why can't I meet Prince Kang?"

Xie Lan smiled maliciously, "Want to know? It's okay to tell you, because the letter the maid gave you... was written by me."

Xie Lan's words were like a bucket of ice water poured on Xie Ying's heart. Seeing the smile on her face, he became extremely angry.

"Big sister, since you returned to Beijing, my mother and I have treated you well. No matter what you want, we will give it to you.

Why did you pretend to be the prince of Kang and lie to me?"

Xie Lan looked at Xie Ying's anger and felt it was extremely ironic. "You two, mother and daughter, teamed up with Princess Huaining to drug me, wanting the princess's stupid son to ruin my innocence. Do you think you're treating me well?"

Xie Ying's pupils shrank. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever give you any medicine?"

"Don't admit it?" Xie Lan had already guessed that she would deny it, so he waved his hand at Tiechui and said, "Feed her to drink it."

Seeing Tiechui coming towards her with a bowl of something, Xie Ying's face changed, "What do you want to do... What is this? I don't want to drink it."

Xie Lan smiled cruelly, "This is what your mother prepared. You can't waste such a good thing."
