As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rhythmic sound of clapping from outside the door.
A smiling man's voice followed, "It is said that the only daughter of King Yannan, Princess Qinyang, is spoiled, willful, and overbearing. Today, it seems that all these words are false."
Princess Qinyang was startled and immediately turned around to look!
"who!?"
She had just made sure that there was no one else around before she spoke freely, but she didn't expect that she was still overheard by someone!
And she didn't even notice the other party's breath and existence at all!
As she spoke, Princess Qinyang had already drawn the long whip from her waist, stood up and stood in front of Ye Chutang and his two siblings, staring at the closed door vigilantly.
That person - is just outside the door!
"What's the big deal about eavesdropping on other people's conversations? Come out if you have the guts! Let's have a fight!"
The person outside the door laughed softly as if he had encountered something interesting.
Princess Qinyang became more and more angry, "What are you laughing at!?"
After a while, the laughter finally stopped.
"Miss Ye Er, if you don't speak up, Princess Qinyang will really attack me."
Um?
Princess Qinyang was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at Ye Chutang.
"You, you know him?"
Ye Chutang took a sip of tea and sighed softly, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become much more arrogant. Now, you even want the dignified Princess Qinyang to personally welcome you in?"
Princess Qinyang's eyes widened immediately, "Do you really know each other!?"
The next moment, with a "creak", the door was pushed open from the outside.
Princess Qinyang looked back subconsciously.
A man dressed in snow-blue brocade clothes was sitting quietly in a wheelchair, looking over here with a smile on his lips.
His facial features were not handsome, but his eyebrows were clear and he had a broad and clear mind.
People feel like being bathed in spring breeze when they see it.
Princess Qinyang was stunned for a moment, then she realized that there was a thin blanket covering his legs.
Behind him stood a thin man in a short cloth shirt, who seemed to be his follower.
"you……"
Princess Qinyang was about to speak when she remembered that this person seemed to be Ye Chutang's friend. She quickly turned her head and asked in a low voice, "Who is this? Why didn't you tell me in advance that your friend was coming?"
This is too sudden!
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "You know this person, his name is Xun Cheng, and he is from Louyang. Oh, by the way, to be precise, he is returning to Beijing from Longcheng this time."
Longcheng?
Then isn't he the friend that Ye Chutang had sent a message to ask for help? ?
Princess Qinyang immediately realized that she had made a big mistake and was extremely embarrassed. She quickly put away her long whip.
"Um, um, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were here! Please come in!"
As she spoke, she quickly gave up her seat, with a rare look of embarrassment on her face.
If it were anyone else, Princess Qinyang would naturally not take it seriously, but the one in front of her was different - he saved her father!
Long Jiu pushed the wheelchair in, then turned around and walked out, standing guard outside the door.
Xun Cheng himself still looked very relaxed. Seeing Princess Qinyang's reaction, he couldn't help but smile.
"Princess Qinyang, please don't mind. This is really a misunderstanding. Besides, you whipped her for Miss Ye's safety. You are loyal to her. What's wrong with that? I came here rashly and disturbed you all. I hope you can forgive me."
Princess Qinyang still felt very embarrassed.
"No, no! You have been so kind to my father and me! I can't thank you enough!"
Xun Cheng felt a little helpless and looked at Ye Chutang for help.
He has always been the worst at dealing with such overly enthusiastic...
"Besides, you don't have good legs to begin with, so this trip is even more tiring than for ordinary people. I really don't know how to thank you for your help!"
Princess Qinyang was sincere, with a face full of enthusiasm and remorse.
Xun Cheng: “…”
Okay, that's enough, no need to thank me...
Ye Chutang suppressed his smile and said, "Okay, Princess, don't take it to heart. Since Xun Cheng is willing to help, he is really helping. Now that King Yannan has returned safely, you can put your mind at ease. If you really want to thank me, you can treat me to tea today."
How much does a meal of tea cost?
Princess Qinyang knew that Ye Chutang was helping her out, and she felt grateful and touched.
"no problem!"
She looked at Xun Cheng again and vowed, "Now that you are in the capital, if there is anything I can help you with, just ask!"
From what she said, it seemed like she wanted to protect him.
Xun Cheng laughed, but did not refuse, "Well, I will thank the princess here first."
Now he understood why Ye Chutang was on good terms with the Princess Qinyang and was even willing to help.
It is said that she is spoiled and willful, but when I see her today, I find that she is frank and straightforward, a rare example of her true nature.
Xun Cheng's expression became more serious, and he said, "The King of Yannan guards the southwest and has made great military achievements. Since he is in danger, we should do our best to rescue him."
Princess Qinyang's eyes turned red again after hearing this.
She is not without complaints.
During these years of separation, she always wondered why her father did this.
He fought bravely in the battlefield, but was still deeply feared, so much so that even he and his daughter could not be reunited and could not see each other for several years.
She stayed in the capital, and everyone thought she was having fun all day and was very happy, but in fact, she didn't want to live like this at all!
Now, after listening to Xun Cheng's words, she seemed to finally have the answer.
He did it not for himself, nor for His Majesty, but for this land and for these people!
Even if I die, I will go!
Xun Cheng didn't expect that his words would cause such a big reaction from Princess Qinyang, and he was stunned.
How come this Princess Qinyang is nothing like the rumors?
He looked at Ye Chutang again inquiringly - does she cry so easily?
Ye Chutang calmly explained, "She just met King Yannan."
oh.
I see.
Xun Cheng thought about it and said something to comfort her, "Don't worry, Princess. King Yannan will stay in the capital for a long time this time. You can have a good time together..."
Princess Qinyang looked at him with red eyes, "Although you are disabled, you have a sense of justice in your heart! Chu Tang once said to me that every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. You really deserve this!"
Xun Cheng: “…”
He suddenly felt that he seemed to be worrying too much...
Suddenly, a red shadow flashed before his eyes.
He subconsciously moved his palm slightly.
But the next moment, he remembered where he was and stopped abruptly.
In the blink of an eye, Princess Qinyang had arrived in front of him, only half an arm's length away.
She opened her almond-shaped eyes wide, full of eagerness and joy, with the blush still in them, clear and moving.
Xun Cheng was unable to react in time and subconsciously turned his head slightly.
Princess Qinyang asked anxiously, "You just said that my father will stay in Beijing for a long time this time? Is it true?" (End of this chapter)
