Chapter 218 Showing Affection

"Seventh Princess, you..." Jiang Huai was stunned. He didn't expect that she would express her feelings to him. In fact, he knew that she liked him.

But he could only pretend he didn't know and couldn't respond.

She is the seventh princess.

Nan Jiao is her sister-in-law, there should be no other relationship between them. He does have a good impression of her, but there is no romantic love between them.

As soon as Zhan Chuyue saw his expression, she knew that she would not get a response, but she did not regret confessing to him, at least she said it.

I won't be thinking about it anymore.

"It's my business to like you. You don't have to feel any responsibility. I didn't intend to tell you, but I'm going to Miaojiang soon, and it might be difficult for me to come back."

"I was afraid that I would regret it later, and I was even more afraid of missing out, so I mustered up the courage to confess to you."

"Did you agree to go to Miaojiang for marriage because I didn't respond to you?" Jiang Huai's heart tightened. If this was the case, he would feel guilty.

After all, she is a princess of wealth and should stay in the capital instead of going to the complicated Miao area, which is too dangerous.

Zhan Chuyue smiled in her heart. It turned out that he knew that she was interested in him. Now she had no regrets because he really didn't like her.

"No, even if you accept me now, I will still go to Miaojiang. Well, I have to find the emperor's sister-in-law." Zhan Chuyue said with a faint smile.

At this point, although she was sad, she also felt much more relaxed.

After all, she had spoken out the thoughts that she had been carefully hiding, and she finally didn't have to keep them to herself anymore.

Jiang Huai stared at the woman. When she smiled, her eyes looked like two beautiful pear-shaped curls. Her skin was as white as snow and her eyes were sparkling.

"I'm sorry, Princess. I..." Jiang Huai's throat was a little tight and his mood was a bit complicated. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You don't have to blame yourself. You are right. Love is about mutual affection. I wish you can find your dream girl soon." Zhan Chuyue said with a generous and dignified smile.

"I also hope that the Seventh Princess can meet a man who loves her as soon as possible." Jiang Huai said sincerely. He hoped that she could be happy and she deserved it.

Zhan Chuyue smiled slightly and turned to get on the carriage.

The carriage rushed towards the palace gate.

Jiang Huai stood still, staring at the carriage as it went farther and farther away until it finally disappeared. He felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.

He feels very guilty.

I think it was because of him that Zhan Chuyue left the capital where she grew up and went to the Miao area where she was unfamiliar and had no acquaintances. I thought she would be in danger.

Suddenly, he felt uneasy.

…

Zhan Chuyue found Nan Jiao in Deshou Palace. She was playing with Yoyo Baoer in the garden, while the emperor's grandfather and General Jiang were playing chess in the pavilion.

She blinked.

Is the problem solved?

She guessed that her father might think there was something wrong, but with her grandfather around, he probably wouldn't show it even if he had any opinions.

After all, the emperor's sister-in-law gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for the royal family.

General Jiang fought for the Qin State all his life, but he did not say that Jiang Zhiyan was not a daughter of the Jiang family, and it was not a serious crime, so her merits could fully offset it.

"Empress Sister-in-law." Zhan Chuyue saw the two old men playing chess seriously and did not go to disturb them, but went straight to find Nan Jiao.

When Nan Jiao saw her coming, she let her children play by themselves.

"Why are you here?"

"I just came back from outside and met Jiang Huai at the palace gate. He told me that you and General Jiang went to the palace to apologize, and he was very worried about you." Zhan Chuyue said with a smile.

Nan Jiao slapped her head and said, "I forgot to ask someone to report back to the General's Mansion that I'm safe."

I guess grandma and dad are very worried.

That’s why Dad asked Jiang Huai to come. He wouldn’t go to the military camp outside the city to look for Zhan Beiheng, right?

Zhan Chuyue called a young eunuch and asked him to go to the palace gate to tell Jiang Huai so that he wouldn't worry.

After Nan Jiao saw the eunuch leave, she smiled and said, "You didn't talk about anything with my brother just now, did you?"

"I talked and I confessed to him." Zhan Chuyue did not hide it. The only person she could talk to in private now was the Third Emperor's wife, and he only wanted to talk to her.

Nan Jiao's eyes widened in shock.

She confessed her love to her eldest brother!

So her intuition was right, she really liked the eldest brother. Last time she asked her to help find a girl, she acted as if she didn't care.

He's quite a good actor.

"What about him?"

"He doesn't like me."

Nan Jiao: “…”

well--

She could only sigh, as love is all about fate.

"He has no vision and is not lucky enough to marry a good girl like you. Let's not want him. We will meet better ones in the future. There are many good men in the world." Nan Jiao said with a smile.

"Thank you for your comfort, Empress Dowager. Although I am very sad, I think it is better to tell him rather than keep it to myself." Zhan Chuyue had a smile in her eyes.

Nan Jiao nodded, "You are right, otherwise you will keep thinking about it."

"I plan to go to Miaojiang with Xiao Fusheng in a few days." Zhan Chuyue said.

"So soon?" Nan Jiao frowned, feeling a little depressed. Perhaps she left so quickly because her elder brother rejected her.

Zhan Chuyue raised her lips and smiled, "We have to go whether we go early or late. I will go with Xiao Fusheng. On the way, I can listen to him introduce Miaojiang."

After all, she doesn't know much about that place now.

"Have you told big brother?" Nan Jiao asked, guessing that everyone would be reluctant to see her go so soon.

"I said that although he didn't want me to go so soon, he still agreed. We plan to leave in three days." Zhan Chuyue said. She had gone to see her eldest brother before.

It was because she was leaving soon that she mustered up the courage to tell Jiang Huai.

I'm leaving anyway.

Probably we won't see each other again.

Nan Jiao frowned.

Three days later!

This is too fast!

Sudden.

Zhan Beiheng rushed into Deshou Palace in a hurry. After seeing the scene in the garden, his tense face slowly relaxed when his father-in-law found him.

He entered the palace as quickly as possible.

They are just afraid that their father and grandfather will punish them.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, he went straight to his grandfather, and now it seems that everything is fine.

Nan Jiao saw the man walking towards them. His forehead was covered with sweat and his face did not look well. Judging from his panting, he must have come in a hurry.

Suddenly, her heart softened.

Zhan Beiheng strode up to Nan Jiao and said sullenly, "Why didn't you tell me about such a serious matter as asking for apology? Do you know that I am very worried about you?"

Nan Jiao hugged him, patted his back, and said softly, "I'll tell you in advance next time."

Zhan Beiheng's eyes twitched fiercely, and his handsome face darkened. "What other crime do you want to commit?"

"I don't know. Maybe I won't be able to resist and commit a crime someday." Nan Jiao said with narrowed eyes. How could she know what crime she had committed now?

Zhan Beiheng reached out and hugged her, gritting his teeth and saying, "Even if you want to commit a crime, you have to tell me in advance, and I will commit it with you."

Nan Jiao chuckled. She was somewhat moved by the man's words. She knew that he was not saying this to coax her, but that he really meant what he said.

He was telling her that he would stand by her side through thick and thin.

Zhan Chuyue looked at the two people hugging each other and felt a lot of emotions. She still remembered that when they just got married, they disliked each other and were very disgusted with each other.

Now they are showing their affection.
