Chapter 227 The Prince's Confirmation of Love
The prince and Rong Chuyue walked slowly to a teahouse, then walked in and found a place to sit down and continued chatting.
The slender figure saw them enter the teahouse, then walked out from behind the pillar, followed them all the way, and walked outside the teahouse to observe.
Xia Miaoyuan was put on an armchair by the prince at this time. She stood on the chair and looked out the window boredly.
Just now, Rong Chuyue had given the prince a positive answer. She could finally have fun for a while.
Suddenly, she saw a woman looking in from outside the teahouse.
[So strange, that girl looks so familiar! ]
Xia Miaoyuan tried hard to recall in her mind.
Now I remember, isn't that Rong Xinyue whom I met at the nail dyeing stall before! Rong Chuyue's concubine sister.
Rong Xinyue stretched her neck to look into the teahouse, then turned and left.
The prince and Rong Chuyue chatted enthusiastically in the teahouse for a long time.
At the end of the chat, the prince lowered his voice and said, "Miss Rong, I had to hide my identity before. My real name is Xia Chengwan."
Rong Chuyue's eyes widened instantly, and she said in a low voice, "Then aren't you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
The prince nodded, and asked, "Can you forgive me? I shouldn't have hidden it from you."
Rong Chuyue nodded silently.
The prince took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Rong Chuyue, saying, "I give this to you as a token of my love."
"The first house on the east side of Zhuque Street is my residence. If you need to find me urgently, you can ask someone to take this jade pendant and come to me. My servants will understand when they see it."
Rong Chuyue felt warm in her heart and dizzy. Happiness came too suddenly. She
sneaked out today and not only met the person she had been thinking about, but also confirmed his feelings.
What was even more surprising was that she was worried before whether Mr. Xia's family background was worthy of her. What if he was a merchant family and her elders disagreed?
Now, Mr. Xia turned out to be the Crown Prince of Daxia, and all her worries disappeared.
"Just wait and be at ease. When Enke is done with his work, I will explain our affairs to my father and mother." The prince whispered.
Rong Chuyue held the jade pendant in both hands and nodded with joy.
The two sat for a while and agreed to go out and play on the fifth day of next month, and go to the City God Temple to attend the temple fair together.
"It's getting late, and I should go back." Rong Chuyue looked at the sky and said.
"Then I'll take you there."
Rong Chuyue shook her head: "No need, it's not on the way. Besides, if my family sees us now, there will be a lot more trouble. I'll just hire a carriage outside the door."
The prince saw that Rong Chuyue's words made sense, so he stopped persuading her, said goodbye to Rong Chuyue, held his sister in his arms, got on the carriage, and drove to the prince's mansion.
Rong Chuyue went out to hire a carriage.
At a hidden corner, Rong Xinyue came out again, staring at the prince's carriage and followed behind.
"Humph! On the surface, you are dignified, virtuous, gentle and elegant, but secretly you are cheating on someone! Rong Chuyue, Rong Chuyue, this time you finally fall into my hands." Rong Xinyue gritted her teeth and said.
Rong Chuyue and Rong Xinyue are both granddaughters of the family of Lord Rong, the Minister of the Imperial Household.
Their father is Rong Sheng, the Minister of Rites, and their aunt is Concubine Rong in the palace.
Rong Chuyue is the legitimate daughter of Rong Sheng's wife, Wang, while Rong Xinyue is the daughter of a concubine.
Because of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, Rong Chuyue always attracted more attention at home.
Rong Xinyue was very dissatisfied in her heart, but due to the situation at home, she did not dare to show her dissatisfaction at all. On the surface, she was very respectful to her sister.
She was dark-minded and liked to play dirty tricks. Many times, she was the one who did bad things to Rong Chuyue behind her back, causing Rong Chuyue to be punished by the elders, but Rong Chuyue was always deceived by her sister's harmless face.
Rong Xinyue followed the prince's carriage all the way to the gate of the prince's mansion, not caring that her shoes were worn out. Rong
Xinyue hid behind a tree and saw the young man who had tea and chatted with her sister get off the carriage. Seven or eight servants at the door served him attentively and escorted him into the prince's mansion.
Rong Xinyue was stunned on the spot.
Above the gate of this mansion, there was a plaque with three characters bigger than a fight, "Prince's Mansion!"
Oh my God! That young man turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! The
man my sister sneaked out to meet secretly turned out to be the Crown Prince of Daxia!
The prince is not yet engaged, so Rong Chuyue will be the prince's consort in the future!
Rong Xinyue was confused and her jealousy was about to explode.
How is this possible!
No, no, no, maybe that person is just an aide to the prince's mansion. Don't the princes and princes like to keep some scholars as aides? Those
who can enter and leave the prince's mansion are not necessarily the prince.
She remembered that her sister seemed to call that person "Mr. Xia" last time.
Thinking of this, her anxious mood was immediately relieved.
She quickly sorted out her thoughts, forced herself to calm down, and then put on a smiling face and walked towards the gate of the prince's mansion.
"Stop! Who are you?" The dark and thin servant guarding the gate shouted fiercely.
"I'm here to find someone." Rong Xinyue said with a smile.
"Who are you looking for? Do you have a visiting card?" the skinny servant asked expressionlessly.
"I'm looking for Young Master Xia." Rong Xinyue smiled sweetly.
Another fat white servant at the gate laughed mockingly: "Looking for Young Master Xia? Are girls nowadays so cunning?"
"There is no Young Master Xia! This is the Prince's Mansion. There is only His Royal Highness the Prince in the mansion! Get out of here!" the skinny black servant shouted angrily. The fat white servant
waved his hand at Rong Xinyue and said, "Go away. We have seen many people like you. You are running here pretending to be crazy and stupid, just to see the Prince."
"These days, all kinds of people want to marry into the Prince's Mansion. Tsk tsk tsk!"
Rong Xinyue's smile froze on her face immediately.
They said that there is only the Prince in the Prince's Mansion.
Rong Xinyue felt a chill all over her body, and her heart was even colder.
Rong Chuyue actually hooked up with the Crown Prince.
Rong Xinyue dragged her two numb legs and walked in a daze. As she walked, she bit her lips fiercely and pinched her palms with her nails.
"If you hook up with the Crown Prince and want to marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion, then the whole family will treat you like a star! I will never get ahead in my life!"
"No, no! I will never let you do as you wish!"
...
After Xia Miaoyuan followed the Crown Prince back to the mansion, she fell asleep out of exhaustion.
When she woke up, it was already time for dinner.
"After dinner, I have to send you back to the palace." The prince sat on the bed, took a towel soaked in warm water, and carefully wiped Xia Miaoyuan's face.
"No, I won't go back!" Xia Miaoyuan muttered.
"Miao'er wants to live here, and go out shopping tomorrow!" Xia Miaoyuan clung to the prince's neck like a kitten.
"Okay then!" The prince hugged his sister lovingly, and then ordered his confidant to go to the palace and give the queen a message.
Dinner was eaten by the prince, Xia Miaoyuan, and Han Qingbo together.
