Chapter 45: Did I disturb the princess's enjoyment?
No matter how good Su Muyan's temper is, he couldn't help but feel unhappy after being interrupted several times.
He stood up and walked over, opening the door and saying, "Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless it's something important?"
Unexpectedly, when the door opened, it was not the waiter standing outside this time, but his follower.
The attendant said urgently, "Sir, there's news from Chongwenguan that something has happened. Please go there immediately."
Su Muyan frowned, "What's so urgent? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"
The attendant shook his head, "I don't know either, but Lord Zhang sent someone to say it was an urgent matter and asked you to return immediately."
It's rare for Su Muyan to ask Ruan Yunsheng out, so how could he bear to leave like this?
He was hesitating when Ruan Yunsheng said, "Master Su, go and do what you want. I'm a little tired too and want to go back home to rest."
Su Muyan could only apologize: "Princess, I'm so sorry. I will definitely treat you well next time."
Ruan Yunsheng curled his lips slightly, "It's okay."
Watching Su Muyan leave the teahouse, Ruan Yunsheng could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
She asked Zhishu and Zhiqin to stay in the private room, then with a stern face and a fierce look, she walked to the next room and kicked the door open.
"Xie Yan! You are truly a person whose nature is hard to change. Will you die if you don't cause trouble for this princess?"
Xie Yan was sitting by the window, wrapped in a moon-white brocade fox fur cloak with a slightly open collar, revealing his slender neck.
His face was handsome and dignified, but the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye concealed a subtle temptation. His lips were pale in color, and there was a hint of weariness between his brows.
He clearly looked like he was afraid of the cold, yet he still sat upright.
Hearing Ruan Yunsheng's voice, Xie Yan looked over innocently, like a disturbed snow-white jade fox.
I have to say, my mortal enemy is really good-looking.
Ruan Yunsheng pursed his lips and cursed her inwardly as a vixen.
Seeing Ruan Yunsheng finally come to find him, Xie Yan pressed his upturned lips in satisfaction, his tone full of doubt:
"Why is the princess here? What happened? Why are you so angry?"
Ruan Yunsheng snorted coldly, walked up to him, propped his arm on the table, and said fiercely: "Why do you say I'm angry?"
"It's rare for this princess to go out. Why are you so bored as to send her snacks? Sending her snacks once would be fine, but you sent her snacks twice. Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?"
"Does this princess need money? Or do she need your two plates of snacks? Why are you showing off in front of me?"
Han Ying listened to his own prince being scolded so harshly that he huddled against the wall, not daring to breathe. He tiptoed out of the room, trying not to make any noise.
Xie Yan lowered his eyelashes to hide the excitement in his eyes.
Shengsheng's face was rosy, and her clear eyes were slightly widened because of anger. She was so cute!
I really want to kiss you...
Xie Yan coughed lightly and looked away. "I didn't mean anything else. I just thought you liked that snack, so I asked someone to send one over."
Thinking that Shengsheng was with Su Muyan just now, he felt a little sad again: "Did I disturb the princess's leisure time?"
Ruan Yunsheng was annoyed, "What do you think?"
At this moment, she suddenly wrinkled her nose twice, "What's that smell?"
Ruan Yunsheng lowered his head and saw a pot of wine next to Xie Yan.
Her eyes lit up and she picked up the wine directly. It was indeed "Lotus Dew Wine"!
She looked at Xie Yan unhappily, "Xie Yan, you're such a good person! You drink such precious lotus condensed water yourself, but you treat me to two plates of ordinary snacks!"
"Such a good wine, do you understand how to drink it?"
Xie Yan's words and deeds were extremely old-fashioned. She suspected that Xie Yan couldn't drink at all!
Xie Yan sighed regretfully: "My body is indeed not suitable for drinking. If you don't mind, you can sit down and have a few drinks."
Ruan Yunsheng reluctantly said, "Then I will sit for a while."
Xie Yan suppressed the smile in his eyes and took out a clean cup for her.
Ruan Yunsheng took a sip of wine. Lotus Dew is an extremely rare wine that is hard to buy even if you have money. It tastes refreshing at first, and then the sweetness spreads. The aftertaste is long and lingers on your lips and teeth.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with drinking a pot of wine from Xie Yan.
Xie Yan had been eating and drinking for free in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years, and he was generous enough not to ask him for money.
Ruan Yunsheng drank three cups in a row, and his anger finally subsided a little.
She looked at Xie Yan and narrowed her eyes. "This princess almost forgot to ask, how did you happen to appear at Liuxia Waterside Pavilion that time in the palace? Was it really Xie Huaiye who asked you to have tea?"
When I met Xie Yan before, there were always people around, so I didn’t have the chance to ask him about this.
Xie Yan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "It's indeed not the case. Actually, I just happened to hear that the Second Prince had a date with you at the Waterside Pavilion, and I saw those palace servants acting suspiciously. I felt something was amiss, so I went over to take a look."
Ruan Yunsheng looked at him and asked, "Since you know something is wrong with the palace servants, why are you still drinking tea?"
Xie Yan said innocently, "I was thirsty. You know how weak I am. I kept coughing, so I could only drink tea to calm the cough."
Ruan Yunsheng wanted to ask, why didn't he just say it directly in the water pavilion.
Xie Yan suddenly asked, "The underground ghost market will open tomorrow night. Princess, are you going?"
Ruan Yunsheng's attention was indeed diverted, and he immediately said, "Go, of course! Come to the back door of the Marquis' Mansion to pick me up tomorrow night."
Xie Yan sighed: "That kind of place is really not suitable for the princess, otherwise..."
"I don't care, I have to go with you!" Ruan Yunsheng threatened, "Otherwise, forget about getting the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass! You'll just stay sick forever!"
Xie Yan was helpless, "Okay, I'll pick you up then."
He looked at Ruan Yunsheng, "But the princess needs to change clothes in advance so as not to attract attention."
Ruan Yunsheng disagreed, "Do you even need to tell me? This princess certainly knows what to do."
Have you ever seen a pig run even if you haven’t eaten pork?
Do you think it's a waste to read her storybooks?
Moreover, when she went out with Chuwu in the past, she would change her clothes in advance.
Xie Yan nodded slightly: "That's good."
A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, and Xie Yan couldn't help coughing.
Ruan Yunsheng frowned, "You look so sick, you should go out less in the future."
She pursed her lips and continued, "As long as you find the 'Sun and Moon Jade Bi', I will give you the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass."
He coughs all day long, which is really annoying.
"I'm leaving."
Ruan Yunsheng turned around and walked out, but before she reached the door, Xie Yan suddenly called her, "Mingyi."
Ruan Yunsheng stopped in confusion. Xie Yan always called her Princess and rarely called her anything else.
She turned around, "What?"
Xie Yan stood up and slowly walked in front of her. "Do you remember what my brothers and I told you when we were in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Ruan Yunsheng was puzzled: "What?"
Xie Yan said sternly, "Before we get married, no man outside is allowed to touch a hair on your head. No matter who it is, if they dare to touch you, I will beat them to death and I will take care of the consequences. Remember?"
