Chapter 466 Helian Chen Comes to Say Goodbye
Madam Zhan couldn't help but laugh, and raised her hand to nod her head: "Girl, if you were a man, you would definitely be very fickle in the future."
"No, that's called being among the flowers without getting a single leaf on them."
Ye Qianning's fancy words made everyone laugh again.
"I haven't seen you for two days. You seem to have grown a lot in your studies."
"That's right, it's a good thing. If a woman can rely on the top scholar, our general's mansion must have one."
Madam Zhan chuckled helplessly, "Sharp-tongued."
"Hehe." Ye Qianning grinned, revealing a row of small white teeth.
"Since Fatty has this intention, don't refuse. Just put them all away." Madam Zhan said with a smile.
The aunts looked at each other, and finally no one refused.
The jewelry the emperor bestowed upon them was made of very fine materials, and they had never seen anything so gorgeous.
The little girl was so generous to them, they would definitely take good care of their fat kid in the future.
Xi Fengying had been sitting in the chair at the back without moving, her eyes fixed on an item bestowed by the emperor. She also heard that the Northern Emperor had issued an imperial edict praising it.
The little girl is really capable. She can earn so much reward just by delivering a letter. It's amazing.
"Why hasn't Xi Yan replied yet?" She couldn't help but interrupt the group of jubilant women.
When the concubines heard the voice, they turned around and glared at Xi Fengying, saying that she was so tactless. They were already feeling touched.
Madam Zhan looked back with a hint of dissatisfaction.
Ever since Xi Fengying moved in, she has been worried every day. With so many people searching, she dared not let anyone out of her sight.
Although they had been together for half a month and chatted occasionally, she still couldn't like this person.
They were more afraid that she would bring disaster to the general's mansion.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Xi Fengying's face flashed with embarrassment. "I just want to know when I can leave the city."
"If you have the guts, you can leave now and no one will bother you."
"The gate is right there, no one's stopping you."
"Who are you going to ask for help when you leave the city yourself?"
"Does my Fatty owe you something or something?"
Ye Qianning didn't say anything. The concubines were dissatisfied first. Their family had taken so many risks in the past half month, but she was leisurely and making sarcastic remarks.
"Don't be so hostile to me. We made a deal." Xi Fengying was speechless.
"The deal only protects you temporarily. Now that there are fewer soldiers and officers in the city and the city gates are open, the deal is complete. You don't need to stay in the general's mansion anymore." Madam Zhan knew about the IOU.
The aunts nodded repeatedly.
Xi Fengying was a little confused. It must be uncomfortable to be hated by a group of women for so many days.
If the General's Mansion wasn't the safest place, she would have left long ago.
"Miss Xiang, can we talk alone?" In fact, she had only seen Ye Qianning two or three times in half a month.
Usually, there are three or five aunts who are closely guarding the baby, eating and living in the same room, so she has no chance to discipline the baby at all.
There were two secret guards named Yingge and Yingyuan beside her, and she didn't dare to use any magic. She had been feeling very uncomfortable for the past ten days -!
"There's nothing to talk about. If you want to leave, go ahead. If you don't want to leave, be patient. If Xiyan had a way to send you out of the city, they would have sent someone long ago." Ye Qianning said coldly.
"But……"
"Xiyan's farewell document has been suppressed, and he can't leave for the time being. Do you think he can send you out of the city?" Ye Qianning interrupted her.
Xifengying was very surprised that Minister Qian had hit the mark.
The Emperor of Beili really wanted to use the princess's marriage to keep Prince Xiyan. Why did Xiyan want to enter into this marriage?
When she was in the palace, Xiyun was always by her side. Although she was young at that time, she was extremely stubborn.
If she hadn't agreed to this marriage, even her brother the emperor would have been helpless.
But judging from Minister Qian's attitude, he doesn't like that girl Xiyun.
"I want to meet Prince Xiyan." Xifengying said.
Madam Zhan's expression changed drastically when she heard this. "What do you think this place is? If you want to die, no one will stop you. But if you try to drag my child away, I will not let you go."
Mudan frowned in an instant. She had never seen anyone so shameless. Didn’t she know her own situation?
What a huge risk it is to meet Prince Xiyan.
The other concubines also knew the relationship and showed hostility towards Xi Fengying.
Xi Fengying realized belatedly how excessive her request was and lowered her eyes slightly.
Ye Qianning sneered. Impatience can make a person lose all composure. "You haven't gone crazy after being locked up for so many years, but you can't stand it after only half a month out?"
"I just can't get any news, and I feel uneasy. If something happens to the prince in Beili, even if I return to Xiyan, how can I face the Xiyan royal family?" Xi Fengying raised his eyes and said.
"You should be glad that you didn't get the news." No one would risk passing on any news at this time.
Xi Fengying looked at her: "The general's mansion is well aware of the situation outside."
The little kid clearly knew a lot of things, but he didn't reveal anything to her.
Ye Qianning smiled: "Is the General's Mansion your tool for gathering information?"
She took herself too seriously. The news about the general's mansion was not something she could know at will.
Xi Fengying knew she was mocking him, but didn't mind: "You name the price."
"Are you painting a rosy picture for me?"
"What?"
"Pay off the IOU first, then talk about other things."
"How could I, the great Princess Xiyan, owe you money?"
"Even if you leave Kyoto, you might not be able to return to Xiyan alive. If you're not completely sure, it's enough to gamble twice."
Xifengying was choked and speechless.
"No matter how high your status is, you still have to see the situation clearly. Otherwise, not to mention a princess, even an emperor has to be timid when he is in someone else's territory." Ye Qianning said the most realistic words in a soft voice.
Madam Zhan was very pleased, but she was afraid that Ye Qianning would take risks because of her. Hiding Xifengying was already her limit.
She even wanted someone to help her pass on the message, which was simply wishful thinking.
Xi Fengying was shocked by her words. She was not angry, but felt that she seemed to have no respect for the imperial power at all.
Whether it was to Xiyan or Beili, it seemed that there was no fluctuation when she spoke of it, as if she was mentioning an ordinary person.
In a country ruled by an emperor, if she doesn't even respect the royal family, who else can she respect?
"Miss, the young prince Nanyuan is asking to see you outside the courtyard." The maid came in and reported.
"knew."
Ye Qianning responded, lightly glanced at Xi Fengying who was lost in thought, and his eyes fell on the Sixth Aunt: "Helian Chen is here to find Aunt to get the zither."
"The piano is ready. I'll get it right away." Huaihua came out.
"I'll go with you."
Huaihua nodded and led Ye Qianning out.
As soon as Ye Qianning left, everyone in the room glared at Xi Fengying.
Mudan, Xinghua and others walked over and sat next to her, and the other concubines also found a place to sit down.
"Madam Zhan, please sit on the couch. You can take a short rest if you are tired." San San made the couch and greeted Madam Zhan.
