Chapter 16 Please

Murong Yan's expression changed instantly.

Xie Zhuoning really wanted to laugh when he saw his panic-stricken look.

How could Murong Yan at this moment have the calm and composed demeanor he had in his previous life, even when faced with a huge crisis?

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to give yourself to me. I'm already engaged, and today I'm just hanging out with my sister. I just happened to see that you have some talent, so I'm interested in you. If you don't want this badge, I'll take it back, but your mother's illness..."

Thinking of his sick mother at home, Murong Yan's eyes tightened, and he immediately bowed with both hands, no longer refusing, "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

"That's right!" Xie Zhuoning smiled contentedly.

In his previous life, the Crown Prince Xiao Bicheng inadvertently showed favor to Murong Yan in order to win over the poor people and saved his mother's life.

In the spring of the following year, Murong Yan won the top spot in the imperial examination and became the prince's think tank and military advisor, making plans and strategizing for him.

Now that the person who has done Murong Yan a favor has become himself, will Xiao Bicheng still have smooth sailing like in his previous life?

She is looking forward to it.

…

Chunjiang Building, second floor.

Xiao Jinxuan stood at the window, looking at the familiar figure, frowning, "Didn't you say she wouldn't come?"

Ling Xiao felt guilty and said, "The eldest daughter of the Xie family has never participated in the Lando Festival before because she is engaged to the Crown Prince..."

Who knows what happened this year, and why they even came to join in the fun?

"Engagement contract? I think she has never taken that engagement seriously!"

Watching her chatting and laughing with the man selling paintings, Xiao Jinxuan found it inexplicably irritating.

What do you mean by pleasing him?

This girl keeps talking nonsense, and you can't believe a single word she says!

Xiao Jinxuan felt a little annoyed, so he flicked his sleeves, turned around and went into the house, trying not to see it.

As a result, when he turned around, he saw Jiang Yao leaning against the door with one hand supporting his head, flirting with the maid who came in to serve wine, "This sister looks so familiar, I seem to have seen her somewhere..."

He snorted heavily, "Shame on you!"

Jiang Yao: “…”

No, he just said a few sweet words and didn't do anything, so how can he be shameless?

Sensing that something was wrong, he quickly coaxed the girl away and came over, "Ling Xiao, who offended your master?"

You were fine just now, how come you got angry the instant you turned around?

Ling Xiao: “…”

This time he learned his lesson and never said anything he shouldn't.

After asking around without getting any clue, Jiang Yao touched his nose in annoyance. The next second, his gaze out the window suddenly became solemn.

"Uncle, look, those people over there are people from the palace!"

Xiao Jinxuan had naturally discovered it a long time ago.

He said calmly, "Not only that. People from Prince Yong's Mansion are here too."

"Eh? Aren't those guards from the East Palace?" Jiang Yao pinched his chin, "Could it be that the prince also wants to join in the fun?"

All these people gathered near the fighting stage, it seems that they care a lot about the legend of the saint!

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes sharpened, "Send someone to keep a close eye on them, and report any abnormalities immediately."

"yes."

Just as they were closely watching the movements around them, a sudden noise of noise came from the door of the box.

Xiao Jinxuan turned around and gave Ling Xiao a wink.

Ling Xiao nodded slightly and went to check it out immediately.

door.

After arranging for someone to send the scroll back to Xie's house, Xie Zhuoning brought Xia Ju to the private room he had booked long ago.

In order to watch the show, she prepared the best viewing spot early on.

But when I got there, I found out that the box was occupied by someone else!

The guard at the door blocked her entry and refused to let her in. She was so angry that she waved her hands and said, "Xia Ju, smash it for me!"

She wanted to see who was so shameless!

After receiving the order, Xia Ju kicked the door.

Just at this moment Ling Xiao opened the door and his kick landed squarely on his crotch.

He covered his hands tightly, his face full of pain, and slowly squatted down.

The people inside and outside the house made eye contact and stared at each other.

Xie Zhuoning immediately caught sight of the familiar figure, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with calm features, an outstanding figure and an indescribable elegance and spirit.

She was so shocked that she laughed.

What is this called?

Enemies often meet on a narrow road!

She curled her red lips and said in a sinister tone, "Your Highness Prince Xuan, if you like this room, you should have told me earlier. Given our relationship, I would never refuse to give it to you."

Jiang Yao was stunned when he heard this.

No, isn’t this the eldest daughter of the Xie family and the future Crown Princess?

What relationship does she have with her uncle?

Thinking of this, he actually asked seriously.

Xie Zhuoning said with a half-smile, "Of course it's the relationship between uncle and future nephew's wife! Otherwise, what does the prince think it is?"

Jiang Yao: “…”

What she said made so much sense that he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

I wanted to ask more, but I heard my uncle's angry voice, "What's going on?"

After coming to his senses, Jiang Yao thought to himself that he was in trouble and immediately pretended to be confused, "Uncle, I don't know what happened. Maybe the shopkeeper made a mistake?"

As soon as he saw the guilty look in the boy's eyes, Xiao Jinxuan knew that there must be something fishy going on.

He directly told the guard outside the door, "Go and call the shopkeeper."

Soon, the shopkeeper came hurriedly.

He was hesitant at first and refused to speak, but after a glance from Xiao Jinxuan, he immediately confessed the truth.

"This room was indeed reserved by Miss Xie..."

However, she did not reveal her real identity, causing the staff at the hotel to think that the person who booked the room was just an ordinary guest.

Later, Jiang Yao came over and insisted on having this room. He even took out one hundred taels and asked the previous guest to pay him as compensation.

This is how the current situation has evolved.

Xiao Jinxuan's face darkened as he listened, "Look at what you've done!"

"I didn't expect that the person who booked the room would be the eldest daughter of the Xie family..." Jiang Yao felt aggrieved.

"According to what you said, the person who booked the room is just an ordinary person, so you can use your authority to suppress him, right?"

These words were so serious that Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat. He knelt down immediately and said, "I was wrong. Please punish me, uncle!"

"After I return home today, I will go to the ancestral hall and receive ten lashes!"

"yes."

"In that case, is Miss Xie satisfied?" Xiao Jinxuan's eyes darkened as he looked at Xie Zhuoning.

She was dressed simply today, and looked as graceful as a willow in early spring.

"I'm not satisfied," Xie Zhuoning wrinkled his nose, "You haven't returned my room to me yet!"

The fighting stage is just opposite. This room is the best place to observe the overall situation, so naturally we cannot give it up.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Please arrange a private room for Miss Xie."

"This..." The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to arrange it, but the private rooms in this restaurant have been booked a long time ago."

Jiang Yao muttered softly, "If there were still rooms available, I would have booked them long ago, and I wouldn't have received those ten lashes."

Yingjun frowned, Xiao Jinxuan really didn't want to deal with Xie Zhuoning.

That girl has no sense of propriety when speaking. If she says something that could be misunderstood, it would be even more difficult to deal with her.

But in this situation, he could only bite the bullet and negotiate, "Miss Xie, I am willing to pay you a hundred times the room fee, can you give me this room?"

Hearing his anxiety, Xie Zhuoning was no longer anxious.

She curved her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, looking as if she was so angry that she would die.

"Your Highness, are you begging me? But this is not the attitude of begging. If you are willing to beg me sincerely, I may consider it~"
