Chapter 93 Marry Only One Person in Your Life

After hearing what Mrs. Chen said, Xie Zhuoning realized that the purpose of his trip had been achieved.

"To be honest with you, Sister Zhao, I do intend to open another clothing store. I've even picked a name for it: Niyifang."

"There will be more new styles of clothes coming out in the future. As long as you say so, Sister Zhao, I will ask someone to reserve them for you first."

Mrs. Chen's eyes lit up when she heard that there were more new tricks, and when she heard that she would keep it for herself first, the unhappiness in her heart had long disappeared.

She waved her hand proudly and said, "When you open your business, I will definitely bring people to support you!"

Mrs. Chen has several good friends, all of whom are wealthy daughters who married into the family from Jiangnan.

With their support, the store is already halfway to success even before it opens.

Xie Zhuoning breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

Mrs. Chen tried on all the clothes again and asked Xie Zhuoning which one looked best.

"I like this one the best. No, this one. No, no, this one is also pretty..."

She was entangled and hesitant among a pile of beautiful clothes, unable to let go of any of them, as they were all her favorites.

It turned out that the reason why she didn't open the door for a long time was that she was struggling with which outfit looked best on her.

Xie Zhuoning smiled and said, "This suit suits your complexion best; this suit is more formal, suitable for attending banquets; as for this suit, it is light and elegant, and can be worn when traveling or going to the temple to burn incense..."

The suggestions she made were very serious and pertinent, and Mrs. Chen nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes... That's right... That's what I thought too!"

It was already evening when we left Chen's Mansion and returned to Zhenyang Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as Xie Zhuoning entered the room, he saw Song Yuqiu sitting at the table. His face was pale and his brows furrowed instantly.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?"

"I..." Song Yuqiu hesitated, not knowing what to say.

He reached out and touched her forehead. The temperature was normal, so Xie Zhuoning withdrew his hand. "Between you and me, is there anything that cannot be said?"

Song Yuqiu bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and took out an invitation from her pocket, "This is what my cheap dad asked me to give you."

To be precise, it was not given to Xie Zhuoning, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, but to Madam Xu, the concubine of Prince Xuan.

Sister Zhuo Ning gave her one thousand two silver coins the night before, saying it was the medical fee for her to treat Yang Lie.

He also said that when Niyifang opens for business, he would give her a generous dividend.

When she saw that she had been struggling on the line between life and death a few days ago and now had become a small wealthy woman, she immediately went out shopping triumphantly.

The joy turned into sorrow as he ran into people from the Song residence.

Her father asked someone to "invite" her back and gave her this invitation.

"My father said that this is a banquet hosted by the Queen at the Royal Residence, and you must attend it."

It is said that the Empress and the Crown Prince searched the entire capital city but could not find the so-called Madam Xu, and heard that Madam Xu was good friends with Miss Song, so they approached Minister Song.

"Plum Blossom Festival..." Xie Zhuoning opened the invitation and narrowed his eyes when he saw these three words.

Now is the season when the waxberries are ripe. At this time every year, people from the south of the Yangtze River would rush to send the new waxberries as tribute to the capital for the dignitaries to taste.

But if it was just a simple banquet, why would Song Yuqiu's face change so much?

"Did your father tell me what he would do if I didn't join?"

Song Yuqiu found it difficult to speak, "He said that if you don't participate, he will immediately marry me to that big fool from the Yin family."

I have to say, Minister Song is really good at calculating.

If he could accomplish this for the Empress and the Crown Prince, then he could naturally be assigned to the Crown Prince's party in the future.

If this matter failed, he would marry his daughter to Queen Mother Yin's nephew as originally planned and board Prince Yong's pirate ship.

But a fence-sitter is destined to have a bad ending.

It seems that we must find an opportunity to make Ah Yu break away from the Song family.

Otherwise, Minister Song has been using her father's identity to control Ah Yu, and if he gets into trouble in the future, Ah Yu will also be implicated.

As Xie Zhuoning was about to close the invitation, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Since the Queen has invited us so kindly, let's go. You can come with me and we will go eat Yangmei."

"Just... that?" Seeing that she was not nervous at all, Song Yuqiu became anxious, "Sister Zhuo Ning, this might be a banquet!"

Why would a queen, the mother of a country, go to so much trouble to invite a concubine to a banquet?

"Hmm," Xie Zhuoning stroked his chin with his hand, thinking, "It seems that I have to inform Xiao Jinxuan before going."

After all, she had to attend the banquet as his mistress.

Let Xia Ju take the private seal and go to Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Xia Ju quickly returned, "Prince Xuan, I want to see you."

The location is approximately at Qingjiang Building.

In fact, it was already late at this time, and the night sky seemed to be covered by a black curtain.

But on second thought, meeting at night might not be a good thing, at least it can better conceal it from others.

Xie Zhuoning packed up, put on his war cape, and came to Qingjiang Tower.

As usual, Xia Ju and Ling Xiao were guarding the door.

Xie Zhuoning walked in and saw Xiao Jinxuan who had been waiting for her for a long time.

The night was too dark, the candlelight flickered. When he looked up, he saw the clear moon and gentle breeze, majestic and stern, as if even the room itself was a little brighter.

My heart lost control for a moment.

The next second, Xie Zhuoning sat down in front of him with a normal expression.

"Your Highness Prince Xuan wants to see me so late at night. Are you missing me so much that you can't sleep?"

It seemed like teasing him had become a habit, and before my brain could react, the words had already come out.

When Xie Zhuoning realized what he had said, he wanted to bite off his tongue.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxuan not only did not refute, but nodded, "Yeah."

Um……

Um?

Um!

Xie Zhuoning raised his head suddenly, and his heart exploded instantly.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at her with a half-smile, "Aren't you my concubine? If not me, who do you want?"

Xie Zhuoning curled his lips: "..."

So he was waiting for her here.

She was a little embarrassed. "It was just a temporary solution at the time. Your Highness Prince Xuan, please don't take it seriously."

A quick fix? Don't take it seriously?

Xiao Jinxuan's face suddenly turned cold. It was only May or June, but the weather was as cold as the last month of winter.

"Now that everyone in the capital knows about this, how do you want me to deal with it in the future?"

Xie Zhuoning didn't care. "She's just a concubine. It won't affect you. If you marry a wife in the future, you can say that you have sent the concubine away. Who will care about this?"

For the man, it was just an insignificant romance.

Xiao Jinxuan stared at her intently, his eyes almost emitting fire, "Who would care? I would, and so would my future wife. Since you want to entrust your heart to me, how can you tolerate others interfering?"

Looking up in surprise, Xie Zhuoning looked at Xiao Jinxuan carefully.

I didn't realize that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan was so innocent that he even wanted to entrust his heart to someone.

"Are you going to marry only one person in your life?"

Normally, when a prince gets married, the royal family will carefully select two concubines to marry into the palace.

Not to mention the beauties, concubines, and mistresses he collected later.

"Why not?"

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes were as calm as the night, carrying a power that struck directly into people's hearts.

At this moment, Xie Zhuoning's heart was beating like a pounding drum.
