Chapter 180 Eating and Taking
"The Imperial Hospital is on your left. Go straight ahead, turn right, then turn left again and go straight again. If you can't find it, just ask a eunuch or a palace maid to lead the way. I have something important to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
Xie Yun spoke very quickly, and by the time he finished the last half of his sentence, he had already strode past Guita Anling and headed towards the palace gate.
Guita An Ling was dumbfounded. This did not give her any room to perform. The man spoke rapidly and so fast that no one could get a word in.
But she still didn't give up, turned around and quickly chased after him, "Xie Shidu, wait a minute, I have something else to tell you..."
Xie Yun frowned, lifted his robe a little, and quickened his pace, almost running.
No matter how Gui Ta An Ling shouted, he did not stop.
As soon as he left the palace, he quickly got into his own carriage and said, "Let's go to the princess's mansion, quickly!"
"Yes, sir."
Seeing this, the coachman whipped the horse swiftly and the carriage sped away.
As Guita An Ling led his men out of the palace, he saw the back of a carriage that was about to disappear.
She was so angry that she turned around and glared at the guard who was guarding the palace gate. If the two guys hadn't stopped her, she would have caught up with him long ago.
However, she certainly didn't expect that these two gatekeepers were promoted because of Qi Yue's favor, otherwise they would not have gone to such an offensive way to help Xie Yun stop her today.
In the carriage.
When Xie Yun thought of the undisguised, aggressive look that Gui Ta'an Ling had given him before, he couldn't help but shudder.
After thinking about it, I decided to take a leave and not go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow, so as to avoid being blocked by that inexplicable princess again.
Suddenly, an inspiration came to him. Isn't this an excuse for entering the princess's mansion?
Even if he went back to the Xie Mansion to hide, Lady Guita's shameless attitude might make her chase him home. If he hid in the Princess's Mansion, she would definitely not succeed.
Just after the brainstorming session, the carriage stopped and we arrived at the princess's mansion.
Xie Yun got off the carriage, gave the driver some instructions, and drove the people back to Xie's house.
He was afraid that the coachman might not be able to explain clearly, so he called the servant who helped him guard the yard in the princess's mansion to go to Xie's mansion to pass on the message.
After returning to the courtyard to take a bath, he wanted to go to the dining hall to wait, but then he remembered what Yang Shidu had said before, and headed towards the main courtyard.
Qi Yue was reading the letter brought by the servant.
One was from Gu Qingyu. This guy was very talkative. His letter was six pages long. It took me a long time just to read it.
Xie Lao only wrote one page, but one could tell from every word that it was written with careful consideration.
He Xiang was waiting by the side, setting up the brush and grinding ink. She glanced at Gu Qingyu's stack of letters and asked curiously, "Princess, Young Marquis Gu has written so many letters. What are you going to say in reply?"
"Simple." Qi Yue curled his lips and smiled, took the brush, and wrote two slightly twisted words on the blank letter paper she had laid out.
“I have read it.”
He Xiang blinked, gave her a thumbs up, and praised: "You are so concise and clear, Princess! Great!"
After reading Xie Lao's letter, she thought for a moment, then wrote a twisted word on the letter paper that He Xiang had neatly laid out.
"good."
In fact, it’s not because she thinks her handwriting is ugly, but she just wants to maintain her cool and reserved personality.
"Collect all the letters and put them in a box for each person."
"Yes, Princess."
He Xiang carefully put the two people's letters back and then put them into the boxes that had been prepared in advance.
After the ink dried, he put the two sheets of paper written by Qi Yue into envelopes and wrote the recipient's name on the envelopes.
Why does the envelope have to be addressed by He Xiang?
Because Qi Yue said she was a princess, a princess's handwriting was of course worth a fortune and could not be shown to the public.
After listening to this, He Xiang nodded repeatedly and felt that it made a lot of sense.
When Xie Yun entered the room, He Xiang had just finished writing on the envelope and was still waiting for the ink to dry.
"This servant greets Mr. Xie."
Xie Yun's eyes quickly swept across the letters on the table. After nodding to He Xiang, he bowed to Qi Yue who was sitting on the chaise longue.
"Your humble servant greets the princess."
Qi Yue asked curiously, "Why aren't you waiting for me in the dining hall today?"
After He Xiang lowered her head and left the room, Xie Yun knelt on the ground and said pitifully: "Princess, the princess of Xizhen Kingdom is so scary. She keeps chasing me..."
Qi Yue was surprised and said, "I remember that she fell in love with Xie Luo. Could it be that she mistook you for Xie Luo..."
Xie Yun shook his head: "No, Princess, she didn't make a mistake... Can I hide in the Princess's mansion for a few days? From the look of her attitude, it seems that she wants to chase me home..."
He added: "Princess, rest assured. As long as grandfather does not want me to be married to Xizhen, he will not stop me from living in the princess's mansion."
Qi Yue chuckled, stood up and touched his pitiful and handsome face.
"Get up, my princess's mansion is always open to you, you can stay as long as you want."
Then he said loudly: "Leng Yue, go inform Prime Minister Xie."
"Yes, Princess."
Leng Yue responded and flew away without even entering the room.
Xie Yun felt very happy, but he still looked like he was begging for sympathy and did not stand up.
He struck while the iron was hot: "Did the princess ask anyone to sleep with her tonight?"
He raised his eyes to meet her beautiful ones, and said with longing eyes: "Princess, it has been a long time since I have shown you kindness and love. Is it because I haven't done well enough..."
Qi Yue touched his nose and said with a guilty conscience: "Isn't it too hot? I didn't call anyone else to sleep with me. It's all the same... I'll make it up to you when it gets colder..."
Hearing her laughing, Xie Yun did not accept the excuse.
Ruo Ruo said: "But the other day Mr. Wuming and the Imperial Physician showed off to me... Why did the princess lie to me? Does she really dislike me?"
Qi Yue: ...
It's really hard to deal with scholars...
She rolled her eyes, coughed lightly and said, "It's too hot. If you really want to sleep with me, then you can serve me in the courtyard tonight. If you don't want to..."
"I am willing!"
Before I could finish my words, he interrupted me anxiously.
Qi Yue: ???
She said awkwardly: "I was just joking..."
Xie Yun: "If Princess is shy, then please keep your clothes on. I can still make you feel comfortable."
"Who are you looking down on, kid?"
Qi Yue was furious. How could a veteran driver like her endure such a great humiliation?
"Whoever is afraid of him is a grandson!"
Xie Yun smiled slightly, "It doesn't sound nice to call me grandson. If the princess is scared, then call me your husband for one night. If the minister is scared, then call me your wife for one night."
Qi Yue was speechless: "You're eating and taking at the same time?"
He retorted: "This is clearly what the princess calls interest, or does the princess really dislike me... so she is unwilling to satisfy me with even this small request?"
As he spoke, tears gradually welled up in his eyes, and it looked like they were about to disappear.
Qi Yue quickly pretended to be angry and threatened: "Don't cry! Otherwise, I will kneel on the washboard and sleep with you tonight!"
