Chapter 186: Only a Few
"Crazy girl, we haven't agreed yet... Ouch!" Nangong Yue's joke was interrupted by Yu Banruo's slap.
"Don't worry, Changle, we will do our best." Not to mention the life-saving grace and the help, just based on the ten-year friendship, Yu Prajna would not reject Jiang Xue.
He grabbed Nangong Yue by the collar and dragged him back to the house to prepare for the trip to the country.
"Your Highness Prince Gong, why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Xue turned around and saw Xiao Zhan's meaningful smile, which was full of relief and tenderness.
"Princess Changle brought up such an important matter in front of me. I was really pleasantly surprised."
"Your Highness Prince Gong, as our ally, I naturally trust you." These words made Xiao Zhan happier than ever before, with an unprecedented light flashing in his black eyes.
No one is like Jiang Xue. A simple word "trust" can make him so happy and excited.
Inside Prince Duan's mansion, after the guards finished their report, Xiao Yan revealed a mysterious smile: "Changle and fourth brother? Oh, Junli, your charm has declined."
He glanced at Jun Li beside him, only to see that the other person had a gloomy face, his fingernails dug into his palms, blood oozing out, and his brows were filled with resentment.
"Wen Shui, isn't Chang Le devoted to you? Why is she getting close to my fourth brother now?"
There was a hint of coldness in Xiao Yan's words. Ever since his reputation was damaged by the boat trip, he hated Jiang Xue to the core. This woman dared to plot against him, and he would make her suffer!
"Your Highness Prince Duan, no one knows the answer no matter who you ask." Jun Li responded with a frown.
"But then again, my fourth brother is handsome and suave, so it's normal for him to please women. I originally thought that Changle was infatuated with you and could be used by us, but now it seems that it's better to get rid of him."
After saying this, Xiao Yan turned to Jun Li with a deep look in his eyes: "I heard that the emperor asked her to go to Fengchang Mansion to prepare her birth date and horoscope. Do you understand what this means?"
Jiang Xue is not of royal descent, but according to her birth date, she is naturally the emperor. If her horoscopes match, she will become a royal concubine. With her beauty and background, she may threaten Lin Wan's position as a noble concubine.
Jun Li knew it very well. In the past, he would have decisively gotten rid of Jiang Xue, but now, he had fallen in love with her and couldn't bear to leave them!
"Your Highness Prince Duan, Wenshui will communicate with Changle and will never let her get in the way of Your Highness Prince Duan!"
Xiao Yan looked at Jun Li deeply, it seemed that he was also moved by the woman. Jiang Xue, what kind of magic did you use to make people around you so fascinated in less than a month?
As the sun sets, Jiang Xue comes out of Prince Gong's Mansion. The orange-red glow shines on her face, and her snow-white skin becomes flushed, making her look even more charming.
"Sorry for bothering you. Changle, goodbye." Jiang Xue bowed and stepped into the carriage.
After walking a few hundred steps, he realized that he had left his handkerchief in Prince Gong's mansion. He wanted to turn back, but the door was closed, so he had to give up.
Forget it, it’s just a handkerchief, I can find a chance to get it back, Jiang Xue thought.
"Hey, Fourth Brother, what are you doing there with a handkerchief? It's colorful and looks like something a little girl would use."
As he spoke, Xiao Yun swiftly climbed over the wall and entered the yard. He saw Xiao Zhan grinning foolishly at his handkerchief. Driven by curiosity, he stepped forward and wanted to touch it.
As a result, there was a crisp and loud "pop" sound. Xiao Yun looked at the bright red Five Finger Mountain in his hand, feeling aggrieved like a little wife.
Oh no, fourth brother is doing bad things again!
"Fourth brother, it's been a long time since you beat me. It's just a small handkerchief..." Xiao Yun muttered.
"Hmm? Are you dissatisfied that Fourth Brother has been too gentle to you lately?" Xiao Zhan said as he put the handkerchief in his arms like a treasure, with a smile on his face but a cunning look in his eyes.
Xiao Yun quickly waved his hands and took a few steps back, muttering in his heart: The more this guy laughs, the bigger the trouble will be, so it's better to stay away from him.
"Fourth brother, could that handkerchief be dropped by Princess Changle?" He remembered that when he climbed over the wall, he saw Jiang Xue's carriage not far away.
"You, instead of going through the main door, prefer to climb over the wall. If the Queen Mother finds out, you'll be in trouble." Xiao Zhan nodded Old Eight's head and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon. You should think about what we should give her when you have nothing to do."
"I have already prepared the gift for the Royal Mother. Fourth brother, don't try to change the subject. Tell me quickly, is this handkerchief Princess Changle's?" Xiao Yun had a wicked smile on his face, his gossip fire burning.
His fourth elder brother was well-known outside as a romantic and dashing prince. He had received countless gifts, but he had never been seen to pay attention to any of them.
This is the first time I see him cherishing a girl's thing so much and not letting anyone touch it. There must be something going on.
"You guessed it right." Xiao Zhan was straightforward and nodded slightly, "Princess Changle just landed here."
"Then why don't you send it back?" Xiao Yun's smile became even more cunning. It seemed that Fourth Brother was interested in Princess Changle. Was he trying to play hard to get?
"Wait until she comes to ask for it herself." Xiao Zhan gently stroked the handkerchief on his chest through his clothes. He had already made up his mind. Next time they met, he would have an excuse.
Tsk tsk, fourth brother is really scheming.
Xiao Yun secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, he was indeed in love with the princess, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.
"Princess, there is something going on outside the palace gate."
Just as they were about to return home safely, Xiaochun lifted the car curtain and Jun Li came into view at the gate of Nanyuan.
Hey, why is this old man here to join in the fun again?
Jiang Xue got out of the car gracefully, and just glanced casually at Jun Li, whose face was darker than the bottom of a pot, and walked forward slowly.
"Your Excellency the Prince of Xichen, you are a rare guest."
After saying hello, just as she was about to turn inside, the door creaked open and Jiang Xue's arm was grabbed by a brute force and pulled into the room without any explanation.
"You! Show some respect!"
Xiaochun Fudong slammed the door without saying a word and rushed over to teach Jun Li a lesson!
"Everyone stand back!"
Jun Li grabbed Jiang Xue's arm with such force that her brows were twisted into knots.
His eyes were as sharp as knives, his skills were superior to those of the two maids, and he also held the trump card of the princess.
The two maids froze immediately, like two guardian gods, with glares as sharp as torches, as if they wished they could stare a hole through Jun Li!
"If word of your Highness the Prince's trespassing into Nanyuan gets to the palace, it will be bad for no one."
Jiang Xue winked at the maids, indicating that they should stay put for the time being.
She was a little surprised by the anger in Jun Li.
He usually manages his emotions very well, and the times when he shows anger are very rare.
What kind of deity had offended him today and made him so angry?
"Face? Changle, when you left Prince Gong's mansion, did you ever think about face?"
When he heard that she and Xiao Zhan appeared together in Prince Rui's Mansion, the anger in his heart had already begun to spread!
Plus, thinking back to those subtle eye contact between her and Xiao Zhan, it was like adding fuel to the fire!
Xiao Zhan is a very treacherous guy!
After so many years in Yujing City, he didn't take Prince Duan and Prince Li seriously. However, he had to be on guard against Prince Gong, who seemed to be playing around in the world. This man was simply his destined opponent!
