The Chen residence.
Chen Zhiyan was very downcast when he learned that His Highness was going to the Southern Dynasty, but he also knew that this was not something he could stop.
However, the only saving grace is that the wedding date is set for October, and it's only March now, so the time for the round trip should be short.
Otherwise, the marriage will probably have to be delayed.
Looking at the purse in his hand, he remembered that His Highness had given him a painting last time, and he had been thinking about returning the favor. He felt that a hand-embroidered one would be more sincere, just like the one His Highness had painted of him.
However, it seems that I can only give it to His Highness before he leaves, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see His Highness wearing the purse that I made by hand.
The Sixth Princess's Residence.
Wei Wangqing looked at the visiting card in his hand with some difficulty, because it was from Nan Xiangrong. This time, it wasn't in the name of Prince An, but directly from him.
The location was the same restaurant as last time.
Wei Wangqing hesitated for a moment, but still decided to go and take a look.
Wei Wangqing put on his outer robe and rode alone to the restaurant.
At the same time, a carriage headed in the direction Wei Wangqing had come from.
Wei Wangqing pushed open the door to the private room, where Nan Xiangrong had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness."
"Your Highness."
The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
It was Wei Wangqing who broke the silence first. She was really uncomfortable with this strange atmosphere, especially after she learned that the other person liked her. "What important matter has the Princess summoned me for?"
Nan Xiangrong handed over a letter.
Wei Wangqing took it, "What is this?"
"This is for my younger sister."
Wei Wangqing was startled, almost thinking it was a love letter, but it turned out to be for Nan Xiangyue!
"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you."
Then the other person handed over a purse.
Wei Wangqing took it without hesitation. "Give it to Nan Xiangyue. Don't worry, I'll handle things perfectly."
Wei Wangqing practically patted his chest and guaranteed it.
“No,” Nan Xiangrong said, staring into her eyes.
"What?"
"This is for you," Nan Xiangrong said slowly.
Wei Wangqing suddenly felt the purse in his hand was burning hot, and cursed himself inwardly for moving so quickly.
"This, I..." Wei Wangqing didn't know what to say for a moment. It would be wrong to accept it, since she had a fiancé. But if she didn't accept it, since the purse was already in her hands, wouldn't it be hurtful to push it back?
"You don't need to feel awkward. I didn't mean anything by it. This purse is just a thank you gift for asking you to help deliver the message." Nan Xiangrong felt a little hurt seeing her troubled expression.
I couldn't help but ask, "How is he?"
Thinking of Chen Zhiyan, Wei Wangqing felt a little clearer-headed and said with a smile, "He's fine."
Nan Xiangrong felt a little sad, but someone who could make her say "very good" must really be good, so perhaps she should really give up.
Otherwise, he would really lose face.
"Your Highness need not worry. If you don't want the purse, just throw it away. Xiangrong will not bother Your Highness anymore."
Wei Wangqing felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this, "That's not what I meant."
He had no choice but to put the letter and the purse into his pocket.
Nan Xiangrong felt a little relieved that she had finally accepted the purse, but she felt more bitter. Even accepting a purse made her so embarrassed. Was he really that worthless? Was he not as good as that Young Master Chen?
Thinking of this, I still wanted to see her reaction. "I listened to Your Highness and joined the army."
"Really? That's great." No wonder I've rarely seen him lately; the only time I saw him was at the New Year's Eve banquet in the palace. So he's joined the army!
"Is there anything Your Highness wants to say to me?" Nan Xiangrong couldn't help but ask expectantly.
Hmm? Is this a compliment?
Wei Wangqing readily agreed, thinking it was good to encourage the newcomers. "Joining the army is a good thing. It can also strengthen your body and protect your country. We'll all be relying on the General for protection from now on."
He even made a joke at the end.
Nan Xiangrong was delighted to hear this and said with a smile, "I will protect Your Highness."
Feeling a bit awkward, Wei Wangqing felt like she was about to get a severe case of embarrassment.
"I'm fine, just protect the people." Wei Wangqing chuckled dryly.
Seeing Nan Xiangrong staring at him so intently, Wei Wangqing wanted to leave quickly; staring at each other like this wasn't going to work!
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I need to go back to the manor to pack my things." He made an excuse to slip away; the atmosphere was too strange.
Although Nan Xiangrong was reluctant to part with her, not knowing when she would see her again, she could only say, "Okay."
Wei Wangqing pushed open the door to the private room and was shocked to see a face that nearly scared her out of her wits.
"Chen Zhiyan? What are you doing here?" He was so startled that he forgot to call out to Young Master Chen.
Chen Zhiyan looked at His Highness and Nan Xiangrong in the private room, his face dark, and said, "Is His Highness very unhappy that I am here?"
Wei Wangqing immediately felt that this was a terrible situation, and that Chen Zhiyan had caught them in the act, giving him a sense of being caught in the act of adultery.
Hearing the words "catching adulterers" in His Highness's heartfelt words, Chen Zhiyan's face became even more unsightly, so gloomy it seemed as if ink could drip from it.
"Your Highness, won't you explain this to me?" Although he was speaking to Wei Wangqing, Chen Zhiyan's eyes were fixed on Nan Xiangrong.
Thankfully, she was still willing to listen to her explanation, unlike on TV where she turns away, covers her ears, and shouts, "I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it!"
Chen Zhiyan thought to himself, "I'm not that stupid. That would just give others an opportunity to take advantage of me."
Thinking about it, she looked at Nan Xiangrong again.
Wei Wangqing was about to speak when Nan Xiangrong interrupted, "Young Master Chen, why be so aggressive? Your Highness and I are here on some private matters."
Oh dear, my lady, your explanation is worse than nothing.
Sure enough, looking at Chen Zhiyan's clenched fist, the veins were about to bulge. But what angered Chen Zhiyan even more was the thought in His Highness's mind: When did the Princess become hers?
