Xie Lingqin had no internal energy, and she believed that if Yuwen Yao didn't want people to know he was here, he would naturally have a way to keep it a secret.
Therefore, the giant clam and the purple river are unknown.
Of course, she relied on intuition and her familiarity with his aura.
"Tridacna, pour me a cup of tea. I'll admire the moon for a while before going inside." After a moment, Xie Lingqin turned around and instructed Tridacna.
Upon hearing this, Tridacna instinctively glanced at the sky and immediately went down to prepare.
Zihe also glanced at the sky, somewhat puzzled. Why would the young lady want to drink tea at such an evening?
Normally, Zihe would have asked, but now, faced with Xie Lingqin's calm yet chilling aura, she silently retreated.
“Miss, I am with the giant clam.”
"Okay, and prepare some snacks as well."
Xie Lingqin gave the instructions.
As soon as Zihe stepped back, she quickened her pace and went to the small kitchen to find the giant clam.
"Tridacna, what's wrong, Miss? It's so late at night, where's the moon?"
"I've been with you, Sister Zihe, ever since I left the manor today. I had no idea." Tridacna was also at a loss.
“It’s almost midnight, and Miss is still not asleep, wanting to drink tea and eat snacks. This…” Zihe’s expression turned somber. After a moment, she said softly, “Could it be that something has happened between Miss and the Crown Prince?”
"Yeah?"
Tridacna paused slightly as she poured tea, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, but it vanished when she looked at Zihe. She was quite indignant. "If the Crown Prince keeps making Miss angry like this, I think Miss shouldn't pay any attention to the Crown Prince."
Zihe looked at the giant clam, and after a moment, sighed helplessly, "Actually, the Crown Prince is really a good person. There are some things you don't know."
"No matter how good a person is, if they make Miss unhappy, they are not good."
As Tridacna spoke, she placed the tea and snacks on a tray and walked out of the kitchen.
Zihe looked at the giant clam's retreating figure with a complicated expression, hoping only that her mistress was well.
The moonlight was deep, a thin mist rose, and the autumn chill seeped into the body.
"Miss, let me bring the tea and pastries into the room. It's too chilly tonight; you might catch a cold..."
"No need, just leave it there."
Xie Lingqin waved her hand to interrupt Tridacna.
Helpless, the giant clam had no choice but to put it down.
The rising steam from the tea further accentuated Xie Lingmei's cool and aloof expression, her snow-white eyes and serene demeanor, as calm as a still lake on an autumn night.
Unconsciously, it made the giant clam and the purple river dare not breathe.
"Xie Lingqin, how long are you going to make me wait?"
In the silent courtyard, a voice suddenly came from inside the house, tinged with helplessness and slight annoyance.
Both Tridacna and Zihe were startled upon hearing the sound, their expressions differing.
Crown Prince...
Inside the main house?
It sounds like she's been waiting for a long time. So, is it true that Miss has had a conflict with the Crown Prince?
The giant clam was overjoyed.
Zihe was extremely worried.
Xie Lingqin paused as she was about to drink tea, then said in a calm tone, "I'm not very familiar with the Crown Prince, so I won't pursue the matter of him breaking into the Crown Prince's boudoir in the middle of the night."
"Come in."
"impossible."
Xie Lingqin put down her teacup, refusing to compromise.
"Xie Lingqin, let's talk." The Crown Prince seemed to soften his tone.
Xie Lingqin's tone was even colder, "You should go talk to your Miss Li. After all, she is outstanding in both looks and talent, and can do both literary and martial arts. I'm sure she can satisfy all your desires, whether it's chatting about anything under the sun or expressing your poetic sentiments."
"Xie Lingqin."
"If the Crown Prince continues to address me in this way, it will cause misunderstandings."
"If you don't come in, I'll come out and hold you tight." Yuwen Yao was clearly furious, and a slight noise could be heard from inside the room as he said this.
Xie Lingqin lowered her starry eyes slightly, but the words that came out were enunciated, "You dare."
"You'll see if I dare."
Almost inside the room, as soon as the Crown Prince finished speaking, it seemed as if a gust of wind came from behind Xie Lingqin, causing her long hair to flutter and her back to feel cold.
Tridacna and Purple River wanted to go forward, but dared not.
The air seemed to be silent for a long time before Xie Lingqin finally turned around and walked into the main house.
"For a prince to threaten a woman who can't even kill a chicken like this, he really has some nerve."
Xie Lingqin's voice was sarcastic.
The door opened.
The door closed.
Looking at the closed door, Zihe and Tridacna exchanged a glance, and Mian saw worry in each other's eyes.
Of course, the main thing about giant clams is excitement.
Seeing how angry Miss is, she's bound to have a falling out with the Crown Prince. If that's the case, then all the better...
...
The room was not lit, but the moonlight shone in, so it wasn't completely dark.
Their eyes met, Xie Lingqin's starry eyes shone brightly, "Yuwen Yao, spit it out."
"You saw me with Li Qingyu." This is a statement, not a question.
"Yes, they are quite a good match," Xie Lingqin said. "Seeing her full of joy and admiration for you, and seeing you accept the invitation even though you know she is full of joy and admiration for you, and being as gentle and polite as if you were protecting a precious treasure."
"You only saw me talking to her, without doing any verification or even asking me, and you're already so sure that there's something going on between me and Li Qingyu?"
"Heh, Your Highness, do you expect me to witness your lovey-dovey moments, sweet talk, and flirtatious exchanges?"
"Xie Lingqin, you don't believe me." Yuwen Yao was clearly very angry, his handsome face was ashen.
Xie Lingqin snorted coldly, "I trusted you too much to not realize that you were a hypocrite who actually wanted to have your cake and eat it too."
"Xie Lingqin!"
"You don't need to call me anymore, I know my name."
