Hongli turned his head away from Xueying's face and loosened his grip on her arm.
"Your Highness is afraid to face your own feelings, Xueying saw it." Xueying suddenly shouted when she saw Hongli turn his back.
"What are you talking about again?" Hongli turned around and stared at Xueying.
“Your Highness, please return. I am following my mother’s wishes and will go to the Northwest with you,” Xueying said resolutely.
Hongli rushed out in a panic, while Xueying's chest heaved. Just now, the two of them had clearly seen that mutual attraction in each other's eyes.
"Master, are you alright?" A'Luo pushed open the door and came in, seeing Xueying standing there in a daze.
"It's alright. Help me to sit over there for a while," Xueying said. Just now, Hongli had grabbed her like that, and her whole body was unable to move. At this moment, her legs were even a little numb, and she seemed unable to move her feet.
A Luo walked up to Xue Ying and helped her slowly walk towards the soft couch.
"Master, what happened to your leg?" A'Luo asked curiously.
"Being held like that by him, unable to move, my legs and feet are a little numb," Xueying said. "Help me pack my things. This trip to the Northwest won't be very comfortable. A'Luo, you're coming with me too."
“Yes, wherever Master goes, A-Luo will follow. This time, Master can go to the Northwest alone with the Prince, which is a good opportunity to strengthen their relationship,” A-Luo said with a smile.
"It's not that easy. His heart belongs only to his principal wife. It's so strong that there's no room for anyone else," Xueying said calmly.
“Master, you are clearly better than her, but Prince seems to be blind!” A Luo said, feeling sorry for Xue Ying.
"Don't talk nonsense. The principal wife is his legal wife; you mustn't speak ill of him behind his back," Xueying stopped her.
“My lady, you could have easily dealt with them with your abilities, so why have you been putting up with it?” A’Luo said. “Today, at the little prince’s third-day celebration, I saw that my former mistress had returned.”
"Do you know the phrase 'hide your talents and bide your time'? My aunt is not favored by the Emperor. Everyone thinks that it's a ridiculous marriage for Prince to marry me," Xueying said. "But I don't think it's absurd. The feud between my aunt and Consort Xi is a feud between their previous generation. I like Hongli, so I am willing to marry him."
“My lady, your looks and talent are in no way inferior to the principal wife. It’s just a pity that she is the principal wife and you are a concubine. I’m afraid she will be overshadowed by you for the rest of her life,” A’luo said.
“Silly girl, a lifetime is a long time. It’s a bit too early to talk about a lifetime now. Alright, that’s enough. Let me see that quilt again. At the banquet today, Gao’s jealousy of Sister Su was very obvious. I still don’t trust her,” Xueying said.
A'Luo took out the quilt that Gao had given to Su and showed it to Xueying for a closer look, while Xueying packed her things.
Meanwhile, Hongli walked and ran to the main courtyard.
He kept replaying Xueying's face as she approached in his mind, along with the words she spoke.
Impossible, how could I be attracted to that face?
Mingyu's maid had already relayed the news of Hongli's arrival at the main courtyard to Mingyu. But now, she really didn't want to see Hongli. Because she couldn't control her jealousy towards Ulanara Xueying.
