Xie Zixin was actually very irritable during this period. Ever since she learned that the young lady of the Left Prime Minister's family saved the Second Prince's life, she had been a little restless.
Xie Zixin was not worried that the daughter of the Zuo Xiang family would be favored by His Highness. As Xie Zixin had been favored all her life, she still had some confidence in this.
Moreover, Xie Zixin did not think that the daughter of the Left Prime Minister could steal her position as the principal wife. At most, she was just a concubine. In her previous life, after the Second Prince ascended the throne, he had three thousand beauties in the harem, but he only favored her. This was her confidence.
She was annoyed by the uncertainty. In her previous life, there hadn't been any incidents during the Spring Hunt. If everything turned out differently, then what chance would she have of being reborn?
Moreover, the Second Prince recently went out of the palace to visit the daughter of the Left Prime Minister. Although she was very dissatisfied in her heart, she could control herself.
But this time the second prince came to see her first, and he was the kind who would leave after spending a while with her, so Xie Zixin felt that it was a bit perfunctory.
She grabbed the Second Prince's large sleeve and asked unwillingly, "Your Highness, are you leaving now?"
"Well, Your Highness has something to do today. I will come to see you next time I leave the palace."
The second prince is still young. Although he is in love, it is inevitable that he does not understand what girls are thinking, so what he says is annoying.
Xie Zixin gritted her teeth upon hearing this and pretended to be sensible and said, "Then your highness, please go quickly! Don't delay your highness's important matter."
As Xie Zixin spoke, she hung a scented sachet she had embroidered around the Second Prince's waist. This sachet was quite unique, with a lotus embroidered on it. Anyone who saw it would know what it meant.
The Second Prince only took a quick glance and saw that the women were all men, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't want to offend his beloved's kindness at this moment.
Seeing that the Second Prince didn't say anything and didn't take it off, Xie Zixin's smile became even brighter.
She didn't believe that the daughter of the Zuo Xiang family would not understand the meaning of this. Xie Zixin felt that even if the daughter of the Zuo Xiang family could not threaten her position, she could not let her not recognize her position.
Of course, the Second Prince was unaware of Xie Zixin's little trick at this time, and just went to the Left Prime Minister's Mansion with the purse embroidered by Xie Zixin.
When the Second Prince arrived at the Left Prime Minister's Residence, Duan Jianing was half lying on the bed reading a book. This was the peaceful scene that the Second Prince saw when he arrived.
He couldn't bear to disturb them, so he asked the servants beside him to keep quiet and watched quietly for a long time.
Duan Jianing was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even notice there was someone standing next to her. Feeling thirsty, she softly said, "Fuling, pour me a glass of water."
The second prince Li Jingchen quickly went to the side to pour a glass of water, tested the temperature, and then handed it to Duan Jianing.
Duan Jianing looked up at the hand holding the teacup and saw that it didn't belong to Fuling. When she saw that it was the Second Prince, she immediately got out of bed and saluted.
The Second Prince quickly reached out and tried to hold Duan Jianing down, "Miss Duan, you are injured, so there is no need to be so polite."
Duan Jianing didn't try to be stubborn and smiled gently, "Thank you very much, Your Highness."
The Second Prince didn't care about these things. He took a stool and sat down beside Duan Jianing's bed and asked with concern, "How are you feeling today, Miss Duan?"
"It's fine, Your Highness, don't worry about me." Duan Jianing said casually, as if it really didn't hurt.
If she hadn't been pale and thin, the Second Prince would have believed it.
"Don't be so stubborn. Be obedient and take good care of yourself." The second prince was really worried about Duan Jianing's health at this time. This was the first person he met who was willing to die for him. How could a young man not be moved!
The second prince has been very conflicted recently, and often feels that it would be great if he had two hearts.
If Zhou Qiongyue knew what the Second Prince was thinking, she would definitely want to call him a scumbag.
At this time, Duan Jianing was also cursing the Second Prince in her heart, mainly because she saw the sachet on the Second Prince's waist. Even when he came out to visit her, he had to go to meet the beauty in secret first. The royal family was really not a good place to be.
But Duan Jianing had no choice. She accidentally overheard a conversation between her father and brother, who wanted to marry her into the Marquis Xuanping's mansion, but she was unwilling.
(Lord Zuo had this idea because the relationship between Xie Zixin and the Second Prince was exposed in this life. Lord Zuo felt that if Xie Zixin became the Second Prince's principal wife, she might be the next Marquis of Cheng'en, so he thought of getting married.)
Duan Jianing had always disliked Xie Zixin's behavior. She just wanted to fight her, and the Second Prince was a noble person! She just wanted to snatch him away.
Anyway, Duan Jianing thinks that marrying anyone is the same, so she might as well marry herself to power!
No matter what Duan Jianing was thinking, she kept a gentle and strong expression on her face, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will obey you."
The second prince instantly felt a sense of presence, a feeling of being needed and admired.
Duan Jianing looked at the sachet on the Second Prince's waist, then at the smile on his face, and said tentatively, "Your Highness, the sachet on your waist is really beautiful."
When the Second Prince heard Miss Duan say this, he couldn't help but touch the sachet around his waist. He actually didn't want to tell Miss Duan that this was a gift from Xin'er.
"Really? It was embroidered by the servants around me." The second prince replied calmly.
Duan Jianing felt even better when she heard the Second Prince say this. The Second Prince didn't want her to know who sent it, so this was a good start!
"Your Highness, could you please ask someone around to embroider one for me next time? I think it's really beautiful." Duan Jianing raised her little face and looked expectantly at the second prince sitting next to her after she finished speaking.
The Second Prince was being stared at so eagerly that it was hard for him to refuse. Furthermore, since this person was his savior and would be his future wife, it was even harder for him to refuse.
The second prince hinted to himself again in his heart that Xin'er was so sensible and would probably understand him.
"Take good care of yourself, and I'll have someone embroider it for you when the time comes."
Duan Jianing had only said it casually, but she hadn't expected it to have such an effect. It seemed like this lifesaver identity was quite useful!
Duan Jianing was already overjoyed and nodded quickly, "Yes, I will listen to your Highness."
She is now looking forward to whether Xie Zixin will be angry to death when she finds out about this.
As for why she guessed it was embroidered by Xie Zixin and not by the Second Prince's cousin Zhou Qiongyue, it was of course because she had seen Zhou Qiongyue and the Second Prince get along in the royal hunting grounds.
The look and movements were similar to those between her and her brother at home. She also had a feeling that the Second Prince didn't want to easily provoke her cousin.
Therefore, Duan Jianing boldly guessed that Zhou Qiongyue would not enter the second prince's backyard.
The Second Prince sat here for a while and then stood up to leave. However, before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Duan Jianing to take good care of her injuries and not to read for too long.
