The Second Prince was silent for a while, then he sighed in pretended helplessness. He reached out and touched Xie Zixin's head, and said affectionately, "Xin'er, you can't do this anymore.
I'm worried that I won't be able to protect you if you're like this, and I won't be able to explain this to Mother. Can you please think about our future?"
Even though Xie Zixin had experienced a lifetime, she still couldn't see through the man in front of her. At this moment, she saw the Second Prince's deep affection for her.
She couldn't help but fall in love. She reached out and gently pulled the Second Prince's sleeve, "I will listen to your Highness. I'm just a little jealous of Miss Zhou. As long as I have your Highness's favor, I will be satisfied."
The Second Prince looked around to see if there was anyone around, then he reached out and held Xie Zixin's hand. "Don't worry, Xin'er, I only favor you."
Xie Zixin was delighted to hear the Second Prince say this, but she couldn't help but ask, "Where's Miss Duan?"
The Second Prince thought of that strong woman, and his heart was also particularly different, but he was not stupid, pretending to be indifferent and comforting her:
"Miss Duan saved my life. No matter what, I can't let her down. Otherwise, how will the whole court see me? Don't worry, you are the only one in my heart."
When Xie Zixin heard the second prince say this, she was happy and nodded obediently.
The Second Prince didn't want to get entangled with Xie Zixin outside the hall at this moment. If someone saw them, it would be very troublesome. "Xin'er, you go in first. It's not good for your reputation if you stay away for too long."
Xie Zixin had absolutely no resistance to the Second Prince who always cared about her, so she said goodbye gently, "Then I'll go in first."
The second prince looked at Xie Zixin with deep affection as she walked inside, looking back every three steps, until she could no longer see Xie Zixin's back.
The Second Prince's smile faded, and he rubbed his forehead. He waited for a moment before striding into the hall.
He actually came out to chase Xie Zixin. Ever since he knew that Xie Zixin was special, he has been very concerned about her.
He would definitely take this kind of person who was blessed by God into his own backyard. He would not allow any accidents to happen.
When Zhou Qiongyue came back, she saw Yuan Bohua halfway.
Although she was surprised, she still stepped forward and saluted with a smile, "Your humble servant greets you..."
Before Zhou Qiongyue finished her ceremony, Yuan Bohua pulled her into his arms.
Yuan Bohua had already had a couple of drinks today, and Xie Zixin had instigated him to join the group. He also noticed his sweetheart was constantly looking at other people, never once looking at him. He was still a little jealous.
Gulan and Guyu turned around in tacit understanding and helped to keep an eye out to see if there was anyone else.
Zhou Qiongyue was hugged by her fiancé, but she didn't struggle. She was just a little surprised, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Normally, when Yuan Bohua saw him, he almost had the words "gentleman" carved on his forehead. He had never lost his composure like this before.
"Why were you looking at Xie Yunshen tonight? And for so long?" Yuan Bohua felt very aggrieved at this moment, and added silently in his heart, without even looking at him once.
Zhou Qiongyue was quite surprised when she heard Yuan Bohua say this. Although she had never been in love in her previous life, she had seen others in love!
So the prince is jealous?
Yuan Bohua saw Zhou Qiongyue remained silent for a long time, and his heart sank. He held her hand even tighter. He looked down at Zhou Qiongyue in his arms in disbelief, "You're not falling in love with Xie Yunshen again, are you?"
"Pfft!" Zhou Qiongyue felt it was both funny and unlucky. Who would like Xie Yunshen, that stupid guy?
"Is it funny?" Yuan Bohua asked this question with even more grievance. He was so sad, but Yue'er only thought it was funny?
Zhou Qiongyue patted Yuan Bohua's hand that was holding her. Although they were engaged, they were not married after all. It would be bad if someone saw them like this. "Let go first!"
Yuan Bohua was no longer so easy to talk to when he got drunk. He just refused to let go and said, "You speak first."
Zhou Qiongyue... could only comfort herself, forget it, don't bother with a drunkard.
Zhou Qiongyue patiently explained, "A friend of mine liked Xie Yunshen. Oh, to be more precise, they were in love. Xie Yunshen ultimately chose a career in government, so I took a few more glances at him and his current wife."
"As long as it's not you who likes Xie Yunshen, it's fine." Yuan Bohua doesn't care which of Zhou Qiongyue's friends likes him! As long as Yue'er doesn't like him, it has nothing to do with him.
Zhou Qiongyue could only comfort her, "I only like the prince now! Please let me go quickly."
When Yuan Bohua heard Zhou Qiongyue say this, he was in a very good mood and he obediently let go.
He still couldn't believe it and asked again, "Yue'er, are you sure you like me now?"
"Your Highness is so nice, of course I like him." Zhou Qiongyue didn't think it was something difficult to talk about. She must win over her future husband.
Yuan Bohua was even happier. As soon as he was happy, he took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and put them in Zhou Qiongyue's hand. "Yue'er, take the flowers. Come back to me for more when you've spent them."
Zhou Qiongyue's eyes lit up when she saw the banknotes, but she knew she shouldn't accept them. She had a bottom line. Accepting things was fine, but accepting banknotes was a big deal.
She could only suppress her excitement and handed the banknote back, "Your Highness, I cannot accept this."
Not only did Yuan Bohua not answer, he also acted like a gentleman and urged, "Yue'er, hurry in! It's not good to stay out for too long."
Zhou Qiongyue was in a dilemma because she had to argue with Yuan Bohua in the palace about the banknotes, so she had to hand them to Gulan, who was standing beside her. She planned to let Gulan keep them for herself and bring them with her when she got married.
She didn't mean to return the money to Yuan Bohua. She just felt that she would feel at ease spending it when the time came.
"Your servant will take his leave!" Zhou Qiongyue performed a standard bow before leading her people in.
Yuan Bohua did the same thing as the second prince just now. He watched his sweetheart enter the hall and waited for a while before going in.
But Yuan Bohua looked at Zhou Qiongyue without turning back once, and muttered with a smile, "Little liar."
After Zhou Qiongyue went in, Duan Jianing curiously asked, "Why did you take so long?"
Seeing Duan Jianing's face full of gossip, Zhou Qiongyue kindly satisfied her gossip, "I met my fiancé and chatted for a while."
Anyway, her and Yuan Bohua's marriage was arranged by the emperor, so chatting for a few more minutes wouldn't be a big deal.
"Oh..." Duan Jianing showed the intention of watching the fun on her face, but she did not ask what Zhou Qiongyue and her fiancé talked about.
He just reminded her, "After you left, your fiancé chased after you. Then Xie Zixin followed, and then the Second Prince followed. They both came back a little earlier than you."
