Seeing this, the Second Prince thought Miss Xie was incredibly cute. He first sat down across from Xie Zixin with a smile on his face, then said playfully, "Who made our lovely Xin'er angry?"
Xie Zixin replied stiffly, "Your Highness is not angry."
"Your face is puffed up like a bun, and you still say you're not angry! Who provoked you? Tell me, His Highness, and I'll take care of it for you."
The second prince didn't know at this time that he was the culprit.
When Xie Zixin heard the Second Prince say this, she felt a little happier and said normally, "No one has offended me. It's just that Your Highness hasn't come to see me recently, and I'm a little worried about Him."
The Second Prince was still happy, so he was willing to comfort his beloved, "Xin'er is really considerate, don't worry! This prince has nothing to do in the palace except being a little busy."
"Your Highness heard that Miss Zhou has been living in the palace recently, and is she busy accompanying her?" If it were the old Xie Zixin, she would not dare to ask these questions, after all, it was not legitimate.
But this time it was Xie Zixin who had been reborn, the one who had been on the throne of Queen for a long time. When a person has been in a high position for a long time and then returns to the low point of the past, it is inevitable that he will become arrogant.
For Xie Zixin now, it is inevitable that she would feel that the second prince is hers, and that there is nothing wrong with her asking these questions.
But when the Second Prince heard this, he didn't think it was the right thing to do. He didn't get angry, though. He just frowned slightly and explained, "The Queen Mother likes my cousin. I just came to the palace to accompany her."
"The Empress likes Miss Zhou, what about you, Your Highness?" Xie Zixin wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. She felt that if this matter was not handled before the marriage, she would have even less say after the marriage.
In her previous life, she was so considerate, but His Highness still didn't have a vacant harem. Now that she has a new life, she wants to change this problem.
The second prince Li Jingchen stroked the jade pendant on his waist with his left hand, supported his head with his right hand, and looked at the storyteller downstairs. He looked very relaxed.
But those who really understand him know that he is already a little unhappy at this time.
"Of course this prince likes my cousin too. Didn't I tell you that I treat her as my own sister? What are you imagining?"
Xie Zixin got the answer, but she didn't mean to stop. Instead, she blurted out this sentence, "I'm afraid Miss Zhou will misunderstand His Highness's meaning. I don't think so."
The Second Prince, Li Jingchen, only then turned around and carefully examined the woman before him. He actually felt a little unfamiliar. Who likes to be tried as a criminal? Especially a legitimate prince of a country!
"Oh, Miss Xie, please don't involve other people in our affairs. I won't turn against my relatives for the so-called love.
"Miss Xie, please take your time to read it!"
After the Second Prince finished speaking, he took his men away without mercy.
In fact, Xie Zixin overestimated her status in the Second Prince's mind. They had only known each other and fallen in love for a short time, and their feelings had not reached that level yet.
For a legitimate prince who wants to fight for the throne, love is not a necessity, but just the icing on the cake.
The Second Prince, Li Jingchen, left with his men in displeasure, which was quite shocking to Xie Zixin. In her memory, the Second Prince had never treated her like this before. Moreover, she had only asked a few questions.
She didn't look for the reason in herself, but just muttered hatefully, "Zhou Qiongyue." Her tone was full of resentment, anger, and jealousy.
Perhaps it was God's will that the Second Prince and Xie Zixin were not on good terms. The Second Prince, Li Jingchen, walked out of the private room angrily with his men, and was spotted by the First Prince, Li Jingze, who was also strolling in the teahouse.
For the eldest prince Li Jingze, this was an opportunity! After the second prince Li Jingze left, he sent someone to keep an eye on the box, and then he squatted until Xie Zixin came out of the box with her maid.
Li Jingze felt that this was simply God's help to him, and he would be sorry for this discovery if he didn't do something.
So when Zhou Qiongyue woke up the next day, she heard Gulan say that everyone in Yuan'an was saying that the second prince had a secret meeting with Miss Xie in the teahouse yesterday.
Zhou Qiongyue was quite confused. Is this the IQ of the male and female protagonists? They were caught having a secret meeting. For a while, Zhou Qiongyue fell into great doubt about the IQ of the male and female protagonists.
Seeing the young lady like this, Gulan thought she was sad, and quickly comforted her: "Don't be sad, young lady. When the time comes, let the prince and his wife find you a better one."
"Ah? Why should I be sad?" Zhou Qiongyue pointed at herself helplessly.
"I understand." Gulan looked as if to say, "I understand, miss, there is no need to say more."
"Don't worry! I really don't like my cousin. It's not good for cousins to get married." Zhou Qiongyue said this very sincerely.
Gulan also actively agreed, "Yes, Miss, you are right, it is not good for cousins to marry."
Gulan felt that their young lady was too pitiful, and could only comfort herself in this way, and in her heart she was even more grateful to the young lady. The man who stole their young lady's man.
Zhou Qiongyue: That’s not necessary, really, really.
So during dinner that day, the whole family looked at Zhou Qiongyue cautiously.
Zhou Qiongyue said tiredly, "Mom, Dad, Brother, why are you staring at me instead of eating dinner properly?"
Crown Prince Zhou Wencan and his wife Jin exchanged glances before Zhou Wencan cautiously inquired, "Yue'er, have you heard the rumors out there?"
Zhou Qiongyue could only sigh helplessly, put the chopsticks in her hand on the bowl, and said solemnly: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Fifth Brother, I say it again, I really don't like Second Cousin, really."
"It's good that Yue'er doesn't like it. It's good that she doesn't like it." Zhou Wencan was very happy to see that his daughter was not sad. He had no intention of marrying his daughter to that cannibalistic place.
When the others heard this, they immediately smiled.
Although Zhou Qiongyue had said the same thing after she fell into the water last time, they were afraid that she was just saying it out of anger. Now that they heard Zhou Qiongyue say this again, how could they not be happy!
"Dad, big brother, the emperor should grant them a marriage, right?" Zhou Qiongyue looked at her father and big brother curiously. After all, the two of them were in the palace today and they would definitely hear the news.
Upon hearing this, Jin looked at her husband and son with sparkling eyes. Who wouldn't be curious about this kind of gossip?
Zhou Wencan and Zhou Zhiyi looked at the mother and daughter who were equally gossipy and laughed.
Finally, under the threat of his wife's fierce gaze, Zhou Wencan smiled and started gossiping, "The emperor is very angry, but the incident has already happened, and it was found out that it was the eldest prince who spread it." The emperor had no reason to refuse.
He simply called the Second Prince before the Emperor and gave him a good scolding, then promised to arrange a marriage between him and Miss Xie after the Spring Hunt. He has already hinted to Marquis Xuanping.
