Chapter 7: Just a fake imitating him!
A moment later.
Zhishu led the maid to the front hall and said respectfully, "Your Highness, our princess is feeling unwell. Please wait here for a moment."
Zhishu was respectful, but thought to himself: Your Highness will have to wait for at least an hour, and I'm afraid the princess won't show up.
Xie Yan had dressed up carefully today. He was wearing a wide-sleeved silver-white brocade robe with cloud patterns. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with dark rolling clouds with moon-white silk thread. The flowing light of his robe made him look more elegant and noble as he walked.
He also knew that if there was nothing to do, Shengsheng would usually get up late.
But Shengsheng asked him to come to the Marquis' Mansion today, but did not tell him what time to come, so he would rather come early and wait, even if it takes a whole day, than let Shengsheng wait for him.
Although he knew the maid's words were probably just an excuse, he still asked with concern, "The princess is not feeling well, have you called a doctor?"
Zhishu smiled awkwardly, "The doctor has examined her and told her to rest more, so please forgive me, Your Highness."
She gestured for the maid to place the teacup on the table. "The princess feels very bad for letting His Majesty wait here, so she specially asked me to brew the best Biluochun tea for His Majesty."
After hearing what Zhishu said, Xie Yan understood that Shengsheng really just couldn't get up.
It was his fault. He should have waited at the door and shouldn't have come into the house so early, disturbing Shengsheng's good sleep.
When Xie Yan learned that Shengsheng had ordered the servants to brew this tea for him, he felt that the severe pain in his body was relieved a lot.
He pressed down the corners of his lips that were slightly raised and said calmly, "I don't have anything to do today, so there's no rush. Let the princess have a good rest. There's no need to rush her. We can talk after she wakes up."
Zhishu bowed again and left with the maid.
Ruan Yunbo woke up and heard the servants report that Xie Yan was in the front hall.
But he and Xie Yan had no conversation and didn't want to see him at all, so he told his servants to wait until Ruan Yunsheng woke up before going together.
Half an hour later.
Xie Yan didn't wait for Ruan Yunsheng, but "waited" for Xie Huaiye first.
Xie Huaiye was dressed very formally today, with a golden crown on his head and a dark green gold brocade robe on his body. In order to arouse Ruan Yunsheng's feelings for him, he also specially wore the engagement token between the two of them.
He came here full of confidence, but when he saw Xie Yan sitting in the front hall drinking tea, his face suddenly became gloomy.
Xie Huaiye sneered in his heart: Xie Yan's pretentious attitude is just an imitation of others!
It's just a fake imitating him, not worth taking seriously at all.
He came here today, firstly, to explain that he had no choice but to marry his wife; secondly, Bai Ruowei had found him last night and told him that things had changed and the Hanxiang Feiyuncao was now in Ruan Yunsheng's hands.
He and Bai Ruowei are not familiar with each other on the surface, but privately, Bai Ruowei is his confidante.
Bai Ruowei is generous and gentle. Unlike other women, she is not jealous and can help him with things, so he values Bai Ruowei very much.
Although he knew that Ruan Yunsheng hated Xie Yan, and that Ruan Yunsheng's fall into the icy lake was closely related to Xie Yan.
It was impossible for Ruan Yunsheng to give the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass to Xie Yan, but he was still a little worried.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yan was there too!
Xie Huaiye put away his thoughts, lifted up his robe and sat down. He deliberately fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist and asked with a raised corner of his lips, "Why is Third Brother here?"
After seeing the jade pendant with beads on Xie Huaiye's waist, Xie Yan's eyes darkened.
He said calmly, "The princess asked me to come. Why did my second brother come to the Marquis' Mansion when he wasn't at home with his princess?"
Xie Huaiye played with the jade pendant. "Given the bond between me and the princess, I can come whenever I want. Unlike my second brother, I need a good reason to visit the Marquis' Mansion."
Butler Feng looked at the two princes and felt that it was not easy to offend either of them.
"Please wait a moment, my two princes. I will go and invite my princess and the third young master."
At this time, Ruan Yunsheng had actually already gotten up.
She was sitting in front of a diamond-shaped mirror, dressing herself up, while Zhiqin was pinning a tasseled hairpin into her hair.
Upon hearing the news that Xie Huaiye had arrived, Ruan Yunsheng frowned slightly and muttered, "Why is there another one?"
She and Xie Huaiye have nothing to do with each other anymore, so why is he still coming to the Marquis' Mansion?
Zhiqin was worried that Ruan Yunsheng would be sad, so she quickly changed the subject: "It's different now that the princess is back. Our mansion hasn't been this lively for a long time."
Ever since the princess disappeared, the four young masters have been in a heavy mood and have moved out of the mansion one after another for various reasons.
Only the servants were left to guard the empty mansion, and their days were like years.
Zhiqin nodded: "That's right, as soon as the princess came back, our mansion seemed to come alive, even the birds on the branches are much more lively than usual!"
*
A quarter of an hour later.
Ruan Yunsheng walked into the front hall, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on her.
Her bright and beautiful face was dazzlingly beautiful in the sunlight, and it made everyone present clearly realize that she had really come back alive.
Xie Yan restrained himself and glanced at her twice, then forced himself to look away.
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor have always been concerned about Sheng Sheng and Xie Huaiye's marriage, and on the day of the palace, they officially set the wedding date for the two.
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he sent a letter to Shengsheng, wanting to express his feelings to her and ask her to look at him and give him a chance.
I didn't expect that just one act of greed would almost kill Shengsheng!
Although Shengsheng is back alive now, she has actually lost five years of her life, and it's all his fault.
If Shengsheng knew that she suffered this disaster just because he liked her, I wonder how much she would hate him?
Maybe from now on, Shengsheng won't say a word to him.
Therefore, he must hide his shameful thoughts so that Shengsheng will not find out at all.
Compared to Xie Yan's restraint, Xie Huaiye was not restrained at all, staring straight at Ruan Yunsheng.
After five years, seeing this bright face again still made his heart beat faster.
He also understood that someone as proud as Ruan Yunsheng would never become someone's concubine.
But Princess Duan was the daughter of the Grand Marshal, and he couldn't divorce her without reason.
But if Shengsheng really loves him, then she will definitely understand his difficulties.
As long as she endures the hardship temporarily and is willing to be his concubine, then when he ascends the throne in the future, he can let her rule the country!
He believed that no woman in the world could refuse the position of queen.
Xie Huaiye spoke before Xie Yan, "Sheng——"
Just as he shouted a word, he remembered what Ruan Yunsheng said last night and changed his words: "Princess, you are here."
Ruan Yunsheng's attitude was distant but not impolite. "What brings you to the Marquis' Mansion, Your Majesty?"
Xie Huaiye had a lot to say to Ruan Yunsheng, but Xie Yan and Ruan Yunbo were both there, so it was really inconvenient to say it out loud.
He said with concern, "We only met briefly last night and didn't have time to say much. If the Marquis' Mansion needs any help, please don't hesitate to ask me."
