The prince and Rong Chuyue walked slowly until they came to a teahouse, then they went in, found a place to sit down and continued chatting.
When the slender figure saw them enter the teahouse, she came out from behind the pillar, followed them all the way, and walked outside the teahouse to observe.
At this time, Xia Miaoyuan was placed on a throne by the prince. She stood on the chair and looked out the window boredly.
Rong Chuyue had just given the Crown Prince a positive answer. She could finally relax and have some fun.
Suddenly, she saw a woman outside the teahouse looking inside.
[How strange, that girl looks so familiar! ]
Xia Miaoyuan was desperately trying to recall the past in his mind.
I remembered now, wasn't that Rong Xinyue whom I met at the nail polish stall before? Rong Chuyue's half-sister.
Rong Xinyue stretched her neck to look into the teahouse, then turned and left.
The prince and Rong Chuyue chatted lively in the teahouse for a long time.
Later in the conversation, the prince lowered his voice and said, "Miss Rong, I had no choice but to hide my identity. My real name is Xia Chengwan."
Rong Chuyue's eyes widened instantly, and she said in a low voice, "Then you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prince nodded and asked again, "Will you possibly forgive me? I shouldn't have kept it from you."
Rong Chuyue nodded silently.
The prince took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Rong Chuyue, saying, "I give this to you as a token of your love."
"The first house on the east side of Suzaku Street is my residence. If you need to find me urgently, you can have someone bring this jade pendant to me. My servants will understand once they see it."
Rong Chuyue only felt warm in her heart and dizzy. Happiness came too suddenly.
She sneaked out today and not only met the person she had been thinking about, but also confirmed his feelings.
What was even more surprising was that she had previously worried whether Mr. Xia's family background was worthy of her. What if he came from a merchant family and her family elders disagreed?
Now that Young Master Xia is actually the Crown Prince of Da Xia, all my worries have disappeared.
"Just wait and be patient. When Enke is done with his busy schedule, I will explain our situation to my father, the emperor, and my mother." The prince whispered.
Rong Chuyue held the jade pendant in both hands and nodded repeatedly with joy.
The two sat for a while and agreed to go out and play on the fifth day of the next month and go to the temple fair at the City God Temple together.
"It's getting late, I should go back." Rong Chuyue said after looking at the sky.
"Then I'll take you there."
Rong Chuyue shook her head: "No need, it's not on our way. Besides, if my family sees us now, it will cause a lot of trouble. I can just hire a carriage outside the door."
Seeing that Rong Chuyue’s words made sense, the prince stopped trying to persuade her. He said goodbye to Rong Chuyue, held his sister in his arms, got into the carriage, and drove towards the prince’s mansion.
Rong Chuyue went out to hire a carriage.
And in a hidden corner of the street, Rong Xinyue came out again, staring at the prince's carriage and following behind.
"Hmph! You appear to be dignified, virtuous, and gentle on the surface, but you're secretly having an affair! Rong Chuyue, Rong Chuyue, this time you're finally in my hands." Rong Xinyue said gritting her teeth.
Rong Chuyue and Rong Xinyue are both granddaughters of Lord Rong, the Minister of the Imperial Household.
Their father is Rong Sheng, the Minister of Rites, and their aunt is Concubine Rong in the palace.
Rong Chuyue was the legitimate daughter of Rong Sheng's wife, Wang, while Rong Xinyue was born to a concubine.
Because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, more attention is always focused on Rong Chuyue at home.
Rong Xinyue was very dissatisfied, but due to the situation at home, she didn't dare to show her dissatisfaction. On the surface, she was very respectful to her sister.
She has a dark mind and likes to use shady tricks. On many occasions, she was the one who did bad things to Rong Chuyue behind her back, causing Rong Chuyue to be punished by the elders, but Rong Chuyue has always been deceived by her sister's harmless face.
Rong Xinyue followed the prince's carriage all the way to the gate of the prince's mansion, not caring that her shoes were worn out.
Rong Xinyue hid behind a tree and saw the young man who had been drinking tea and chatting with her sister get off the carriage. Seven or eight servants at the door served him diligently and escorted him into the Prince's Mansion.
Rong Xinyue was stunned where she stood.
Above the gate of this mansion hung a plaque with three characters larger than a bucket, "Prince's Mansion!"
Oh my god! That young man is actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
The person my sister secretly ran out to meet turned out to be the Crown Prince of Daxia!
The prince is not engaged yet, so Rong Chuyue will become the crown princess in the future!
Rong Xinyue was extremely confused and her jealousy was about to explode.
How is this possible!
No, no, no, maybe that person is just an aide to the Prince's Mansion. Don't the Prince's and the Prince's Mansions all like to have some scholars as aides?
Anyone who can enter and leave the Prince's Mansion is not necessarily the Prince.
She remembered that her sister seemed to call that man "Mr. Xia" last time.
Thinking of this, her anxious mood was immediately relieved.
She quickly gathered her thoughts, forced herself to calm down, then put on a smile and walked towards the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
"Stop! Who are you?" the thin and dark servant guarding the gate shouted fiercely.
"I'm here to look for someone." Rong Xinyue said with a smile.
"Who are you looking for? Do you have a visiting card?" the thin and dark servant asked expressionlessly.
"I'm looking for Mr. Xia." Rong Xinyue smiled sweetly.
Another fat, white servant guarding the gate laughed mockingly: "Still looking for Master Xia? Are all the girls nowadays so cunning?"
"There is no Mr. Xia! This is the Prince's Mansion, and there is only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the mansion! Get out of here right now!" The thin and dark servant shouted angrily.
The fat white servant waved his hand at Rong Xinyue and said, "Go on! We've seen people like you before. You acted crazy and foolishly, all to see the Crown Prince."
"These days, everyone wants to marry into the Prince's mansion. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Rong Xinyue's smile immediately froze on her face.
They said that there was only the prince in the prince's mansion.
Rong Xinyue felt cold all over, and her heart was even colder.
Rong Chuyue actually hooked up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Rong Xinyue dragged her numb legs and walked in a daze. As she walked, she bit her lips fiercely and pinched her palms with her nails.
"If you hook up with the prince and want to marry into his mansion, then the whole family will treat you like a star! I'll never be able to make a name for myself in my life!"
"No, no! I can't let you do what you want!"
…
After Xia Miaoyuan followed the prince back home, he fell asleep soon because he was too tired.
When she woke up, it was already time for dinner.
"After dinner, I have to send you back to the palace quickly." The prince sat on the edge of the bed, took a towel soaked in warm water, and carefully wiped Xia Miaoyuan's face.
"No, I won't go back!" Xia Miaoyuan muttered.
"Miao'er wants to stay here and go out shopping and play tomorrow!" Xia Miaoyuan climbed onto the prince's neck like a kitten.
"Okay then!" The prince hugged his sister lovingly, and then ordered his confidant to go to the palace and deliver a message to the queen.
The prince, Xia Miaoyuan, and Han Qingbo had dinner together.
