He Xue also saw the disdain in Lady Suo'etu's eyes, but she didn't take it to heart and let Lady Suo'etu think whatever she wanted!
However, Xu Yan seemed somewhat dissatisfied with her. Why was she dissatisfied? Did she feel that she had squandered the Crown Prince's good intentions?
He Xue chuckled softly. Wasn't Xu Yan being a bit too nosy?
Xu Yun kept her head down, but when she noticed He Xue looking at her, she looked up and smiled at He Xue.
At this moment, Xia Bing walked in, followed by He Zhu.
Xu Yan kept looking back, but she didn't see the Crown Prince. She felt a sense of disappointment.
"Greetings, Crown Princess!" He Zhu greeted He Xue upon entering.
"Get up. Did the Crown Prince send you here to give you some instructions?" He Xue asked.
He Zhu immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince said that as the Crown Prince of the Great Qing, it is only right for him to help the people of the Great Qing, so Miss Xu does not need to thank him."
His Highness the Crown Prince also said that if everyone were like Miss Xu, he wouldn't need to do anything; he'd be overwhelmed with people thanking him every day!
He Xue was speechless. Why not just say you don't want to see her? Why say so much? Didn't you see Xu Yan's face turn white and white?
"The Crown Prince is quite busy. Xu Yan, he already knows about your gratitude!" He Xue tried to soften her words as much as possible so as not to hurt Xu Yan's fragile heart.
"Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince said you need to hurry. He's been waiting forever!" He Zhu added from the side.
"I understand, I'll be there shortly!" He Xue was speechless at He Zhu. Like master, like servant. Didn't he see that Xu Yan was almost crying? And he kept babbling on and on.
Isn't this just telling Crown Prince Xu Yan that he doesn't want to see her?
He Xue felt that she was too kind-hearted, having to comfort the person who was trying to steal her man.
"You did this on purpose?" Xu Yan glared at He Xue, her eyes red-rimmed. "You deliberately prevented the Crown Prince from seeing me!"
He Xue thought Xu Yan's words were truly outrageous. His mother opened the door for something so outrageous—it was outrageous beyond belief!
Xu Yan wanted to see the Crown Prince, so she immediately sent Xia Bing to invite him. But could she really decide whether or not the Crown Prince would see her?
"You really think too highly of yourself. You're not worth me doing this for. The Crown Prince doesn't want to see you, and there's nothing I can do about it!" He Xue said with a sneer.
"you……"
"Yan'er, shut up!" Lady Suo'etu's expression was also not good, and she said sternly.
"Please forgive her, Your Highness. Yan'er is still young and doesn't know the rules. Please forgive her!" Lady Suo'etu said with a smile.
"Your Highness, my sister isn't quite right in the head, please don't take it to heart!" Xu Yun pleaded for Xu Yan.
"I've certainly witnessed the upbringing of the Hesheli family! Madam, you should put more effort into disciplining them! It's alright if they're impolite in front of me, but if they lose their manners in front of others, it will be a loss of face for Prime Minister Suo!" He Xue said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness is right. I will certainly discipline them more!"
"I will not disturb the Crown Princess any longer and will take my leave now!" Lady Soetu said as she rose.
He Xue didn't try to stop her, "Xia Bing, see Madam off!"
"Thank you for your trouble, young lady!" Lady Soetu said to Xia Bing.
Xia Bing curtsied, "Madam, please!"
After Lady Suo'etu and the other two left, He Xue looked at the trinkets and asked, "Qingdai, did the Crown Prince send these over?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me, this was my own idea! I know I was wrong!" Qingdai said, about to kneel down.
"Get up!" He Xue said to Qing Dai. "You've been by my side for so long, I know you've always thought of me!"
I shouldn't flaunt the Crown Prince's kindness to me in front of Xu Yan, nor should I make her envious; doing so would only make me look bad.
Whether Xu Yan enters Yuqing Palace or not, she will not threaten me. I am the Crown Prince's principal wife. Even if Xu Yan is favored, the Crown Prince will not favor his concubine over his wife.
To put it bluntly, after I die, the Crown Prince will be choosing a new Crown Princess, and she will treat me with the respect due to a concubine, so there's no need to worry about that at all!
"Your Highness, how can you talk about yourself like that!" Qingdai said disapprovingly.
"I was just using an analogy! Alright, let's pack up and go quickly, or the Crown Prince will get anxious again!" He Xue said.
“Yes!” Qingdai replied.
