Xie Qingyao was startled by King Kang who suddenly came over.
Especially the smile on his pale face.
She thought to herself, this guy is really good at pretending.
Although he was obviously furious, he still came to congratulate her insincerely and smiled politely.
He is a ruthless person.
Xie Qingyao was complaining in her heart, but her bright face remained expressionless.
She blinked and smiled, "Your Highness Prince Kang is very thoughtful. Actually, I didn't do anything. I just stumbled upon the medicinal tea by accident. I didn't expect it would help solve the difficulties faced by the people of Fuzhou."
"It's God's will, or just a moment of good luck."
King Kang felt even more upset after hearing this.
Why did this luck happen to belong to the prince?
Xie Qingyao, ah Xie Qingyao, you ruined his plans!
Prince Kang's face was bright and clear, and he spoke slowly: "Madam Hou is a blessed person, blessed by God."
This time Xie Qingyao was not modest and smiled slightly: "That's right."
Sitting at the table, He Zheng's handsome eyebrows and eyes were a little colder, and the cups seemed to be unable to bear the pressure and gradually broke.
Dark red liquid dripped through the cracks onto the table.
The official at the next table had beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
No, he was a little scared.
Fortunately, Xie Qingyao didn't say much to King Kang, and King Kang left with a pale face.
"Congratulations." Princess Yongle stopped Xie Qingyao. This congratulation was much more sincere than Prince Kang's.
Since Xie Qingyao helped her brother, the prince, she naturally had a different opinion of Xie Qingyao.
It felt much more intimate for a moment.
Princess Yongle took Xie Qingyao's arm affectionately and said, "The hot springs on your farm are really nice. Let's go and soak in them together someday."
Xie Qingyao responded: "Okay."
Princess Yongle suddenly patted the back of her hand and said, "Go back and sit down quickly. Your Marquis Anguo is about to eat people."
Xie Qingyao was stunned.
No way?
She turned her head and saw that the palace servants had changed the table for He Zheng and even replaced the cups with new ones.
"Okay, I'll go back." Xie Qingyao was a little amused and lifted her skirt slightly and walked over.
Looking closely at He Zheng, apart from his colder expression, there seems to be no difference?
Xie Qingyao walked up to He Zheng, stroked his face with her hand, and couldn't help laughing.
"Is the fruit wine good?"
The palace maid beside him lowered her head and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The wife of Marquis Anguo is so bold that she actually dares to touch the face of Marquis Anguo in public?
Marquis Anguo has always been majestic and cold. Will he tolerate her acting like this?
Just as they were wondering, the palace maid saw Marquis Anguo grab Xie Qingyao's wrist and ask someone to sit next to him.
How could I not be happy at all?
He Zheng poured Xie Qingyao a glass of sweet fruit wine, "This is good, suitable for Yaoyao."
The palace maids were stunned and retreated quietly.
Xie Qingyao took a sip of fruit wine, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "I want to visit my grandfather tomorrow."
"My second uncle and third cousin are still in Fuzhou, while my eldest uncle and my aunt and uncle have gone to Jiangnan to manage the silk industry."
"The rest of my cousins are either traveling across the country transporting goods or doing business overseas. Grandfather is the only one left in the Xue family mansion. I'm afraid he'll be lonely."
The Xue family became the royal merchant, and now they are no longer the same as before. Their business is growing bigger and bigger, and everyone is very busy.
He Zheng replied, "I'll go to the Xue family with Yaoyao."
Xie Qingyao nodded: "Then you have to prepare gifts in advance, you can't go empty-handed."
He Zheng said calmly, "Leave this matter to Xifeng."
Xie Qingyao thought this was a great idea.
The next day.
The carriage arrived in front of the Xue family's gate and just as it stopped, Xie Qingyao had already lifted the curtain and was about to run out.
I was a little anxious at the moment and accidentally hit my head.
"hiss."
He Zheng subconsciously hugged her and touched her head, "Don't worry."
It's both heartbreaking and funny.
Xie Qingyao's cheeks turned slightly red. After a while, she moved her lips and asked, "Is it still red?"
He Zheng: "Okay."
After saying that, he got out of the car first and then carried the person down.
The servant at the door was startled when he saw the person getting off the car, and quickly welcomed the person into the house.
Mr. Xue, who was originally playing chess with his servants, heard that Xie Qingyao had arrived and said, "You guys should step back and do what you need to do."
"Wait, go make a pot of tea and ask the kitchen to prepare some cakes."
The lazy servant now became diligent and efficient.
As soon as Mr. Xue stood up, Xie Qingyao ran up to him, "Grandfather."
"Hey." Old Master Xue smiled happily, and then he saw He Zheng behind Xie Qingyao.
"The Marquis is here too."
This is very good, proving that the two have a deep affection and are very much in love.
Xi Feng put down the gifts with both hands, turned around and directed the servants of the Xue family to take everything off the carriage.
Mr. Xue smiled and said, "Just come and bring any gifts."
Xie Qingyao: "Just a little bit."
The three of them sat together in the pavilion. Xie Qingyao held a heater in her hands and chatted with Mr. Xue while playing chess.
Old Master Xue narrowed his eyes and said, "Qiqi is very good at chess."
Xie Qingyao said, "It's the Marquis who taught me well."
However, Xie Qingyao's chess skills were still not good enough in the eyes of Mr. Xue. After losing badly, she glanced at He Zheng beside her.
He Zheng couldn't bear her longing gaze and whispered a few words in her ear.
Mr. Xue was very pleased.
The Xue family was able to become an imperial merchant, and Qiqi was able to be named a princess. Not only because of Qiqi's ability, but also because His Majesty loved the Marquis of Anguo and loved the family, so this honor fell on them.
From this we can see that his worry that the Marquis of Anguo would be too powerful and arouse His Majesty's fear will not happen for the time being.
It was not until the evening that Xie Qingyao and He Zheng got on the carriage and returned home.
Xie Qingyao crookedly hugged He Zheng's arm and said, "The Marquis deliberately lost to Grandfather in today's game of chess."
He Zheng whispered, "Yes."
Because he saw that Mr. Xue lost five games in a row, his face was wrinkled, and this expression was exactly the same as the one His Majesty had when he lost to him.
Even the elderly couldn't stand such a blow, so it wouldn't hurt for him to give way.
Sure enough, they won the last game, and Mr. Xue was so happy that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Xie Qingyao pondered for a moment, "Why is it a bit like giving a sweet date after a slap in the face? Bitter first, sweet later."
He Zheng: “…”
"Um."
When they returned to the bedroom, Xie Qingyao sat on the couch, hugged her shoulders, and suddenly said seriously: "I told the Marquis before I went to Fuzhou. I will confess to the Marquis when I come back."
He Zheng held her in his arms, "Yaoyao, talk, I'm listening."
No, your posture is not suitable for chatting.
Xie Qingyao twisted her body and then asked softly, "Does the Marquis believe in past lives and present lives?"
