Chapter 13 Marry him and love him well
Qi Feng came back from Steward Xin's place. As soon as he turned around the corridor, he bumped into Xue Nian and Lu Bo who were coming towards him.
Xue Nian, with his usual enthusiasm on his face, took the lead and stepped forward, smiling and saying hello:
"Qi Feng, we are going to go out with the prince later. Do you want to eat anything? I will bring it back for you."
Qi Feng raised his eyes, glanced coldly at Xue Nian who had changed into his casual clothes, and snorted softly:
"No need, save your money for marrying a wife." After saying that, he turned around and strode away.
Xue Nian looked at Qi Feng's departing back, his face full of confusion, and asked Lu Bo beside him:
"Guard Lu, what do you think happened to Qi Feng these past two days? He seems to be ignoring me, and he wasn't like this before."
Lu Bo spread his hands, shrugged and said, "How should I know? He has indeed been a little abnormal these days. I guess he has encountered some troubles."
The conversation between the few people fell into the ears of Zhu Wenqin who was wiping the weapon rack:
The big devil is going to leave, so can I sneak out to see my mother? I haven't visited her once since I entered this palace. She must be worried to death...
"Xue Nian, Lu Bo, get ready to go."
Jing Siye's voice floated from behind. Zhu Wenqin looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Jing Siye had also taken off his usual elegant robe and was wearing a moon-white casual suit, which was simple yet elegant. A dark blue belt around his waist perfectly outlines his tall and straight figure. His long hair is casually fixed with a jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair hang down on his temples, making him look gentle and elegant.
Zhu Wenqin was slightly startled. He was used to seeing Jing Siye's dignity and solemnity in court robes, so this outfit really made him feel refreshed.
Before he could come to his senses, Jing Siye had already walked up to him with a faint smile on his face:
"Guard Zhu, the king has to go out to do some work. You stay in the mansion and continue cleaning the study."
Zhu Wenqin stared at Jing Siye, pinching her chin and still daydreaming:
[The big devil is really handsome like a banished immortal,]
[Inhumane?] What a pity.
Jing Siye's smile froze instantly...
[If he wasn't so bad, I would consider marrying him and loving him well. 】
Jing Siye's expression was cracked!
He raised his hand and knocked Zhu Wenqin on the forehead with his knuckles.
"Guard Zhu, the king is talking to you!"
Zhu Wenqin suddenly came to his senses and was frightened by the sudden knock. Only then did he realize that he had lost his composure.
He subconsciously covered his forehead, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said hurriedly with a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was distracted for a moment and didn't hear your order. Please have mercy on me."
Jing Siye looked at his terrified expression, and the anger in his heart subsided a little. He sighed helplessly:
"Forget it, get up. Behave yourself in the palace, and consult Qi Feng if you have any questions."
After saying that, he took Xue Nian and Lu Bo out of the palace and headed towards the largest restaurant in the capital - Luanfeng Tower.
Xue Nian and Lu Bo were guarding outside while Jing Siye was sitting in the private room on the second floor, playing with the wine glass in one hand and tapping the table with the other, waiting for the person he had an appointment with to show up.
After half an hour, footsteps were finally heard outside the private room.
Then, the door was gently pushed open, and a clear voice rang out: "My Lord, I've been waiting for a long time."
The man was wearing a dark red robe, with an upright posture. He was about the same age as Jing Siye and had a handsome face, but there was an innate arrogance and publicity in his eyebrows and eyes.
Jing Siye raised his eyes, glanced at him calmly, took a sip of wine, and spoke slowly:
"When has Master Nangong ever been obedient?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling, the leader of the Chiming Sect, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and a cynical smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Look at what your Highness said. It seems that this matter is not simple. This leader was late for half an hour, but your Highness was still able to keep his composure and wait patiently."
Hearing this, the smile on Jing Siye's face instantly disappeared, his expression became stern, and his eyes narrowed slightly:
"Yes, this matter is indeed very important..."
…
Zhu Wenqin stood in the courtyard of the palace and saw Jing Siye walking out of the gate from afar. She was overjoyed:
"The big devil is finally gone, and I can go out now. I have been detained in this palace for so long, and I am so depressed. I have to go find my mother."
Soon, Zhu Wenqin arrived at the gate of the palace. He was about to walk out in a swagger, but the two guards at the door stretched out their hands and blocked his way.
One of the guards said respectfully:
"Guard Zhu, the prince has ordered that you cannot leave this mansion."
When Zhu Wenqin heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly and her eyes widened:
"What? The prince has told you everything?"
The guard still maintained a respectful attitude and explained patiently:
"Yes, just before the prince left, he specifically told us to keep an eye on Guard Zhu and not let you go."
Zhu Wenqin was so angry that she stamped her feet and scolded Jing Siye fiercely in her heart:
"Why is the big devil so serious?"
"If you don't let me go out, do you really want me to go through a dog hole?"
Zhu Wenqin thought about it and decided that comparing crawling through a dog hole with seeing her mother, seeing her mother was more important. It was just crawling through a dog hole, wasn’t it?
Zhu Wenqin thought about it and looked around the palace for a dog hole that could lead to the outside.
Wang Zhiyan from the side courtyard was strolling in the back garden of the palace with her maid and another follower from her mother's family, Wu Huai, when she heard two servants gossiping:
"Have you heard? Just now, Guard Qi went to Steward Xin and said that the prince ordered to start burning the earth dragon now."
Another servant echoed: "I heard that. I also heard that it was because the prince's current personal guard was in poor health, so he burned it early."
"Yes, I heard that the prince carried the little guard into the bedroom last night..."
“What are you talking about!”
Wang Zhiyan's sharp shout interrupted the servants' conversation. Her face was filled with anger, and her image as a lady from a noble family was completely gone:
"You don't work hard, but instead you're here to talk nonsense about your master. Don't you want to live anymore?"
Then, she turned to look at the maid Mei Xue beside her and ordered fiercely: "Mei Xue, slap her in the face!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Mei Xue took the order and stepped forward immediately. The two servants turned pale with fear, and they knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"I deserve to die. I will never do it again. Please, Miss Wang, let me go!"
"Miss Wang?".
Wang Zhiyan became even more furious when she heard this name.
The emperor bestowed her to Jing Siye. With her title as the most beautiful woman in the capital, she must be a concubine.
But who knew Jing Siye was so unromantic that he arranged her in a side courtyard and didn't even look at her, let alone give her any decent status. Now he is even having an ambiguous relationship with a low-ranking guard.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhiyan was not willing to let them go. She gritted her teeth and ordered Mei Xue and Wu Huai to beat them to death.
