Chapter 36 Don’t See Zhao Fangye
When Song Huaixi was not in the palace, the entire palace lost its vitality and returned to its former silence.
In the study, Zhao Fangye was reviewing documents with his pen suspended in the air but did not move for a long time.
Realize that you are distracted.
Zhao Fangye put the pen aside, leaned back in his chair and pinched his eyebrows. His eyes fell on the small table next to the desk.
The image of Song Huaixi lying on the paper and writing appeared in my mind, and the hand muff that Song Huaixi dropped was also placed in the study.
Zhao Fangye stood up and picked up the hand muff, the outside of which was made of apricot satin. There is thick fur inside and it feels very warm.
The bright apricot material formed a sharp contrast with the black color on Zhao Fangye's body.
Just like the owner of this hand muff, it is always fresh and bright like a mountain field full of blooming spring flowers.
A smile appeared in his light-colored eyes, and Zhao Fangye suddenly felt grateful to Concubine Xiao.
If it weren't for her, Song Huaixi wouldn't have come to him.
After opening the door, Adjutant Sun came over and said, "Your Majesty."
Touching the thing in his hand, Zhao Fangye looked up at him and said, "Take someone to the Song Mansion to pick up the princess and bring her back home."
"Yes." Adjutant Sun agreed, with a smile in his eyes, and hurried down to prepare.
The prince started missing the princess after only one day away. I really can't leave him for a moment.
Song Mansion.
Song Huaixi has been staying in the house in a depressed mood since he came back. He looks listless and has no interest in doing anything.
There is no trace of the bright and lively look she had before.
Aunt Zhang felt sorry for him when she saw this and specially brought him his favorite snacks.
"Princess, eat something. You didn't eat much this morning."
Song Huaixi curled up on the couch, hugging her knees and fingering the fluff on the blanket. It took him a while to realize that Nanny Zhang was talking to him.
"Ah?" He looked at her blankly: "Mammy, what did you say?"
Seeing that he looked distracted, Aunt Zhang sighed softly, "Alas."
What a sin.
Put the snacks in front of him: "Eat some, they are all your favorites."
He picked up the pastries on the plate and took a bite. They were obviously his favorites in the past.
Now when I put it in my mouth it tastes bland.
Song Huaixi took a few bites and then put it down. He hugged his knees, lowered his eyelashes, and stared at the patterns on the blanket in a daze.
What is Zhao Fangye doing now? He should be writing in the study. I recalled my daily life with Zhao Fangye in the study.
The face of the beautiful woman that day appeared in his mind, and his own face also became hers.
He saw that everything he and Zhao Fangye did in the past had turned into what that beautiful woman and Zhao Fangye did.
My heart felt like it was soaked in a jar of vinegar, so sour and bitter that it was unbearable.
At this moment, a servant came in and said, "Mammy, someone has come to Prince Ning's mansion. They said they are here to take the princess back to the mansion."
When Song Huaixi heard the words "Prince Ning's Mansion", there was a slight change in his eyes. A little sparkle in the eyes
But it went out again after a while.
He doesn't want to go back now. He is afraid that he will not be able to control his sadness when he sees Zhao Fangye with someone else.
Seeing that Song Huaixi had no intention of moving, Nanny Zhang led the messenger out the door.
"Go and tell the servants who came to the palace that the princess misses her family. She wants to stay a few more days, and asks His Majesty not to worry."
At the beginning, it was because she was afraid that Song Huaixi could not control his emotions that Nanny Zhang wanted him to go home to adjust. Don't let the prince see him like this.
The situation now seems to be getting worse, but at least it is much better than the beginning when I cried all day long.
"Yes." The servant hurriedly reported to the people who came from Prince Ning's Mansion.
Adjutant Sun stood in front of the Song Mansion's gate but didn't wait for Song Huaixi. A servant came to tell him that the princess wanted to stay in the Song Mansion for a few more days.
Hearing this, Adjutant Sun frowned. I felt something was wrong, the princess has always been very clingy to the prince.
He already felt it was a bit strange that she left without saying a word, and now he refused even when the prince sent someone to pick her up.
His intuition told him that something must have happened.
He hurriedly drove the carriage back home and told Zhao Fangye everything.
Zhao Fangye sat upright on a carved wooden chair with a cold expression on his face. Gradually, I realized that something was wrong.
He said in a cold voice: "Bring the servants in the princess's courtyard here."
Chunhua, Chaolu, Qingshan and Qingyang knelt in front of Zhao Fangye. This was their first time entering the study.
Zhao Fangye's light eyes swept across them, and he picked up the Ru kiln teacup and took a sip of Baihao Yinzhen tea nonchalantly.
Although no one said anything, the people below could already feel the suffocating pressure. They all knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
"Did anything happen when the princess returned to the Song Mansion?"
Chunhua stammered, "My Lord, nothing... nothing special... ever happened..."
Putting the teacup on the table, Zhao Fangye said with impatience in his voice and coldness in his eyes: "This king has never had much patience."
Adjutant Sun standing by recognized these people. They have all been following Zhao Fangye since childhood. Why are you so confused now?
You don't even tell the truth to the prince?
Seeing this, he shouted at the four people, "How dare you! Now you even dare to deceive the prince?"
Chunhua trembled with fear, struggling in her heart: "Prince, spare my life...Prince..."
The prince saved their lives, but the princess was also very good to them. They don't want the princess to be disliked.
Finally, he was forced to tell the whole story.
"Your Majesty...Princess, he is really nice, please don't take your anger out on him..."
"Go down!" Zhao Fangye's face turned dark in an instant.
Unexpectedly, Song Huaixi met Liang Xiuzhu by accident and misunderstood him.
He turned around and ordered, "Adjutant Sun, prepare a car to go to the Song Mansion immediately."
There was no time to settle the score with Liang Xiuzhu. At this moment, Zhao Fangye just wanted to see Song Huaixi as soon as possible.
He drove the carriage to the Song Mansion. When the servant opened the door and saw that it was Prince Ning, he was so scared that he didn't have time to say a word and ran to the main courtyard to report.
The whole family was alarmed and hurried out to greet them.
Zhao Fangye walked straight past them and headed towards Song Huaixi's yard.
Nanny Zhang was also a little panicked when she received the news, especially at this time. Song Huaixi lying on the couch still looked listless.
What would I do if the prince saw this?
"Princess, the prince is here. Cheer up..."
Nanny Zhang hurried to the couch and tried to help Song Huaixi up.
But she didn't expect Song Huaixi to avoid her hand and cover himself with a blanket. A muffled voice came: "Don't see him, don't see Zhao Fangye."
Nanny Zhang was at a loss for what to do and was extremely anxious. If the prince sees this, he will probably get angry.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Song Huaixi, she had to hurry out the door and try to delay it.
If Song Huaixi really had a fight with Zhao Fangye, things would be terrible.
As soon as I closed the door and turned around, Zhao Fangye had already arrived in the yard.
Nanny Zhang's heart skipped a beat. Seeing his cold expression, she walked straight forward and prepared to push the door open.
I don't know where she got the courage from, but Nanny Zhang stepped forward to block the door and said, "My lord, the princess has caught a cold, so it's better for you not to go in..."
"Cold?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Fangye frowned and went forward to push the door, but unexpectedly the door was blocked and his expression became even uglier.
With his slender fingers, Zhao Fangye knocked on the door gently. He slowed down his voice and said to the inside of the house, "Huai Xi? It's me. Open the door first and let me see you."
