I kept my eyes closed and didn't look at him. I'd already explained, but he still wanted to cause me trouble. I wasn't going to bother with him. I heard the sound of clothes rustling, and when I opened one eye, I saw Xie Yuancheng taking off his clothes. I quickly stood up.
"No, it only found out when it talked to me. I can't understand bird language, and I'm not a birdman."
"Huh? I didn't hear you clearly, Ying'er, tell me again." He did it on purpose. I turned my head away from him. Xie Yuancheng started to untie the belt again, and I quickly grabbed him.
"Really, I only spoke a few words to it and know a few things. You'd better think about how you're going to explain this to me."
"Yes, I'm explaining right now. Ying'er is the angrier she gets right now, and you hit me again, so let's go inside and talk it out slowly. I'll make sure you're satisfied."
"I'm not going. I want to stroll around the garden, eat lotus seed soup with shredded chicken, and also crispy goose rolls."
"Yes, these are all minor matters. Come inside with me first." Xie Yuancheng is no longer timid when he walks. I thought he would fall, but he walks with great speed. He even deliberately makes noise.
"Get out of here! I hate you!" My wrist was red, and I wanted to kick him whenever I saw him smile. Xie Yuancheng went to pull the bed curtains and called out to someone outside. I quickly dragged him in and closed the bed curtains.
The maids outside were setting the table, and I could hear the clatter of bowls and chopsticks. Xie Yuancheng blew into my ear, and I quickly covered his mouth. If he struggled, I covered him with the blanket.
"Ying'er~ you're so naughty." My face turned red instantly. Luckily, the maids had already set the table. Xie Yuancheng held me in his arms and said to the outside, "Everyone, get out."
"Yes!" I reckon they won't want to work at the Ninth Prince's Mansion anymore. Only people with strong minds can stay with a master like Xie Yuancheng.
"You just kicked me and covered my mouth. Let me think what else you've done. Oh right, you also grabbed me and started hitting me. Tell me, how are you going to get your revenge?"
"What are you talking about?!" I said, placing a pillow between us. "Yuancheng, get dressed. After you eat, see how I'll serve you!"
"Should I believe it or deny it? Ying'er isn't the kind of person who would serve me. Look, she's blushing with embarrassment." Xie Yuancheng still dared to reach out, but I simply pushed him away. He then carried me out wearing only a thin garment.
"I'm cold~" It's warm outside, and I have no interest in going out to eat in my underwear. I hugged Xie Yuancheng's neck tightly and wouldn't let go.
"I'll keep Ying'er warm so you don't catch a cold. Oh, by the way, I just thought of something really funny, do you want to hear it?"
I looked up at him. "Of course I'll listen. Your tummy is hungry. If you don't feed it, it's a bad guy~ Little Chengcheng~ Let's go eat first."
I knew he couldn't stand it whenever I turned my head slightly and looked at him with my eyes upturned. I could hear his breathing getting heavier. I squeezed his shoulder, and Xie Yuancheng continued walking.
"You little rascal, sit up straight and wait and see how Ying'er serves me~" All I know is thinking about is this. I'll give him a full massage and then use incense, so I'm not afraid Xie Yuancheng will be unhappy.
We were talking when a maid knocked on the door. It sounded like Yan Yan's voice. "My lord, the Second Prince has come to visit."
"No!" That's so cool. I was practically starry-eyed. I looked at him with adoration, but I had only drunk half of my soup and was still wearing my undershirt, so I wasn't going to go out.
"My lord, the Second Prince says that Yuexia Xuemei wishes to see you and has something to say to you."
"Thump!" Xie Yuancheng put the cup he was holding on the table, and it shattered into several pieces. I quickly took a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and thankfully, his hands were not injured.
"Don't get too angry. You can't get angry because of other people's problems, and you can't get hurt."
"Okay, I'll be right back. Eat first and wait for me." Xie Yuancheng took a sip of wine and fed it to me, then helped me put on my clothes before leaving.
I had no appetite while eating, but I was afraid he would talk, so I ate everything. The lotus seed and chicken soup was the best. I had already finished my snacks, but he still hadn't returned. I was worried that Xie Yuancheng would be bullied. After all, the Second Prince was of a higher rank than him and was also the old emperor's own son, so I had to be careful.
I changed into a red padded jacket and skirt, trimmed with some white silk fabric, which looked especially pretty in winter. When Yan Yan saw me come out, she ran over immediately, almost tripping in the process.
"Madam, the Marquis says you cannot go out." I don't know whose daughter she is, she doesn't seem very steady in her actions. I think I'm a careless person, and I suspect she's even more careless than me.
"I'm not going out, I'm just going to see them, to discuss things somewhere. Take me there."
"Yes, yes, this way please." Yan Yan led the way. I was wearing a crown-like headdress made of gold and some pearls, with patterns on my forehead. I didn't even need to comb my hair. Actually, I didn't know how to comb it, so this was the easiest way. With the earrings on, it made the whole outfit look complete.
The servants passing by all looked over. I'd only put on some rouge, so why were they all staring at me? It shouldn't be strange. I touched my face; it was smooth. There shouldn't be anything wrong. They were all looking in the mirror; I looked beautiful! What were they looking at?
As soon as I entered Fengling Study, I heard a commotion inside. I could even hear Xie Yuancheng and the Second Prince arguing. It must be because of me. Today, they wanted to make their stance clear: they couldn't separate us. The throne of the Great Zhao Dynasty would be passed down to someone, not him. If the Second Prince insisted on his own way, I wouldn't let Xie Yuancheng go to his rescue if something happened later.
"Yuancheng, I've come to take you back." I heard the sound of weapons and quickly told Yanyan to step back. I opened the door and went in. Luckily, I arrived in time. They really were going to fight in the study.
I smiled at Xie Yuancheng and quickly went over: "What's wrong? Look at you, your hands are cold. Sit down quickly, lest the Second Prince laugh at you."
"Ying'er." I'm here to help you. Why is Xie Yuancheng staring at me like that?! Why aren't you cooperating? How am I supposed to talk to the Second Prince if he doesn't get fierce?
"Second Prince, you are a prince who owns Muyun City. It's one thing to stay in the capital all year round, but why did you have to fight when you came to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to see my Yuan Cheng? We should talk things out slowly."
Those two men are such a handful; they start fighting over the slightest thing. Luckily, I arrived. The Second Prince dropped his sword to the ground, and only after a moment's hesitation did he pick it up.
"Ying'er! What are you doing here!" He was just swooning over me a moment ago, and now he's all changed! That's so mean! If there weren't strangers around, I would have jumped on him and bitten him to vent my anger!
"I'll help you. Let's clarify things so that the Second Prince won't misunderstand."
"It's really too easy to misunderstand." Xie Yuancheng's hand slid across my face, and the ornament on my forehead was trembling. I was really worried that he would kiss me; I'm still too shy.
"Let's get this straight: I don't want to like you, and you're not allowed to cause us any trouble in the future. Otherwise, I don't care if you're the Second Prince or not, I'll have Yuan Cheng beat you to a pulp!"
