Chapter 27 Encountering the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace

Yu Qinghuan never thought that Xie Zhiwen would mention her in front of others, but because of this, she suddenly remembered...

At that time, her family was arranging a marriage for her. In order to advance his career, Yu's father wanted to marry her to a third-rank official as his second wife. The man was in his forties and had many concubines at home.

In order to escape from the predicament, she bribed the servant guarding the back door, ran away from the house, and played the song "Linjiang" which she had practiced for many years in Jingyuan, where the young masters and ladies of wealthy families often went for entertainment.

There are many young men from aristocratic families, some are attracted by her beauty, some admire her talent, but the only one who can be promised to be her wife is Xie Zhiwen.

It was not until Xie Zhiwen came to propose marriage that she realized that the man she was looking for was actually Ningyuan Hou.

The stepmother wanted to arrange this marriage for her own daughter Yu Zhilan but failed. This marriage made her status in the Yu family soar, and even her father, who had never taken her seriously, became much more polite to her.

This song made her the wife of Ningyuan Hou, and later Xie Zhiwen often pestered her to listen to it.

Now, after his death, I play the song he loved for other people.

After hearing the name Xie Zhiwen from Mu Huaian, Yu Qinghuan felt more guilty than ever, but she knew in all honesty that she had no intention of seducing anyone when she played the song just now.

Mu Huaian heated up another cup of tea. "I don't remember the details clearly. Just now you said your family wouldn't let you leave the manor. I wonder who it was?"

He thought about it carefully and realized that the only person who could control Yu Qinghuan in the Marquis' Mansion was Xie Zhiwen's mother, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion.

But the old lady is in the capital, how can she come to this farm to restrain her?

"My mother, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Mu."

Yu Qinghuan didn't hesitate to put the blame on Wang. After all, her affair with Xie Zhili couldn't be made public, and Mu Huaian was a close friend of her late husband Xie Zhiwen. If he knew about this...

She didn't even dare to think about how the other party would view her.

Mu Huaian thought for a moment, and finally asked, "Are you not living well in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Yu Qinghuan smiled bitterly. All the difficulties were in her heart. How could she tell others about them?

She remained silent, but Mu Huaian understood, "Miss, if you don't mind, you can just call me Huaian from now on."

Yu Qinghuan hesitated a bit, but still agreed. There weren't many people she could truly get along with, and after spending the past few days together, she felt that Mu Huaian was really good.

"Then just call me Qinghuan from now on."

Mu Huaian smiled: "Okay."

Before it got dark, Yu Qinghuan stood up to say goodbye to Mu Huaian and prepared to return home. She didn't want Xie Zhili to find out that she had left the house, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause tonight.

But don't go back and raise the courtyard wall. With Xie Zhili's crazy behavior, she has no doubts at all.

The servant led the master and servant, carrying a ladder, from the back door around to the wall behind the Xie family's manor. Sang Ru held the ladder from below, and Yu Qinghuan climbed up carefully, sat on the wall, and jumped down without hesitation.

With this jump, not only did I not feel the ground, but I also felt my body was being lifted up, and my hands subconsciously climbed up.

When their eyes met, Yu Qinghuan was stunned. Strange eyebrows, strange breath, who is this person...?

Xiao Jinghe had heard that there was a hot spring in the Xie family manor where Xie Zhili had recently moved, so he left Beijing today and followed Xie Zhili to the Xie family manor.

Just now, Xie Zhili said that he had something to deal with and had to leave for a while.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the other person left, a figure jumped down from the wall. Xiao Jinghe subconsciously held the other person's waist and held the person in his arms.

The woman in his arms had porcelain-white cheeks and lips as beautiful as early spring flowers. Her black hair, blown by the wind, stuck to the corners of her lips. She was motionless because of the fright. As the autumn wind blew, a faint fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose.

beautiful.

As the crown prince, Xiao Jinghe thought he had seen countless beauties in the palace, but this was the first time he had seen one as breathtakingly beautiful as the one before him.

Yu Qinghuan quickly reacted and struggled to get out of the man's arms, "Where did you come from, you lecher? Let me go!"

As she struggled, her black hair brushed across Xiao Jinghe's Adam's apple, and a hint of itchiness ran through his blood vessels and straight to his heart.

Xiao Jinghe's sword-like eyebrows arched, and a hint of amusement flashed across his dark brown pupils. "The girl threw herself into my arms, but she turned around and accused me of being a pervert. How could that be?"

Yu Qinghuan gently pushed his chest, her face flushed with shame and anger, "I didn't, you just happened to be here!"

Xiao Jinghe raised his thin lips and asked in a good mood, "Whose daughter are you?"

This is the Xie family’s farm, but Xie Zhili has no sisters. Could she be a maid of the Xie family?

Yu Qinghuan just wanted to break free, pushing his chest with her elbow, causing her loose sleeves to slide down halfway, revealing her wrists as white as mutton-fat jade. This touch of white piqued Xiao Jinghe's interest even more.

His broad and powerful arms tightly clasped Yu Qinghuan's legs, "Tell me who you are, and I'll let you down."

Yu Qinghuan gritted her teeth, having no idea how such an unfamiliar man could suddenly appear in the village. Could it be that she had climbed over the wrong wall and ended up in someone else's house?!

At this time, Sang Ru was already climbing the ladder, and footsteps were heard not far away.

Worried about being caught and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Yu Qinghuan hurriedly introduced herself, "I am the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis, please don't be so presumptuous!"

Xiao Jinghe's eyes flashed with disbelief, and he asked suspiciously, "Are you Yu?"

Didn’t Xie Zhili say that Yu was not very good-looking and told him not to believe the rumors?

Then what about the beauty in his arms now?

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Yu Qinghuan was getting anxious, "You know why don't you put me down now!"

A familiar figure turned in. Xie Zhili did not expect Yu Qinghuan to appear here and stand with Prince Xiao Jinghe.

He had no intention of letting the two people run into each other, so he deliberately took the prince to a place a little further away from Yu Qinghuan's yard. He also went to instruct the servants in the manor to tell the eldest lady that there were distinguished guests in the manor and asked her to stay in the yard and not go out.

Sang Ru, who had just appeared, saw this scene and thought it was not good. He retracted his head at an extremely fast speed!

Xiao Jinghe had already put Yu Qinghuan down long before Xie Zhili turned in. At this moment, he looked at Xie Zhili with some displeasure.

Xie Zhili lied to protect himself, but as the crown prince, how could he be a man who is greedy for women?

Knowing that Xiao Jinghe must have known Yu Qinghuan's identity by now, Xie Zhili could only introduce the two of them, "Your Highness, this is a female member of the family, Yu."

Then he turned to Yu Qinghuan, "This is the prince of the palace."

Yu Qinghuan really didn't expect that the stranger who suddenly appeared in Xie's manor was actually the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace... When did Xie Zhili become friends with the Crown Prince?

She bowed to Xiao Jing and Yingying, "I am here to see the Crown Prince. I apologize for any offense I have caused you. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

Xiao Jinghe's eyes fell on her slender waist, and he reached out to hold her hand. "I've heard Xie Zhili talk about Madam before, but seeing her today, I'm a little surprised."

Yu Qinghuan was slightly startled, and quickly pulled his hand back. He calmly distanced himself from Xiao Jinghe, looking at Xie Zhili with a surprised expression, "Really? I wonder what you said?"
