Chen Nian guessed that Xia Tian should have had a good rest, so he came out of Lingyun Pavilion and came to Jinglan Garden.
When Xia Tian saw Chen Nian coming over, he pulled the quilt on the warm room and let him sit on it.
"Brother Shen, Miss Hu said today that you rejected the Emperor's offer of marriage?"
Arranged marriage? Shen Nian was stunned for a moment, then he remembered what the emperor said when he first entered the palace, that he wanted to arrange a marriage for him, and then he understood.
"No marriage was granted. The Emperor only mentioned it casually, and then, seeing that I was already married, he stopped talking."
"Oh, I thought they came to bother me today because I rejected the arranged marriage between you and Miss Wen." Xia Tian thought of Hu Mengyao's aggressive look and Wen Jin's inexplicable hostility, as if she had really done something to break up the couple.
“It’s because of you.” Shen Nian added.
Huh? Xia Tian suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. What does Brother Shen mean? Is he really in love with me?
Or just ask directly!
"Brother Shen, you are not really in love with me, are you?" Xia Tian blinked his big eyes, his heart beating "boom boom boom".
"Yeah!" Shen Nian didn't hesitate and nodded seriously.
A surge of joy suddenly rushed to Xia Tian's head, causing her to blurt out, "Then who do you like better, me or Miss Wen?"
After he finished speaking, he realized what he had just asked. He felt annoyed and couldn't help but hold his forehead. It was so embarrassing. Why did he ask such a stupid question?
"I only like you!"
Covering your face in the summer makes it hard to face people.
He glanced up at Shen Nian who was grinning, and said angrily, "Don't laugh."
"I'm not laughing, I'm telling the truth!" Shen Nian pulled her hand off her face.
"Oh, you still dare to say that!" Xia Tian scolded.
She is really going backwards now!
After the embarrassment wore off, she shamelessly asked him, "Brother Shen, you like me because I'm pretty, right?"
Humph! If he dares to say "no", she will turn hostile!
"Yes!" Shen Nian nodded while suppressing a smile.
Xia Tian looked at Shen Nian and grinned smugly, "Then if someone asks you what's good about me in the future, just say she's pretty. Remember?"
"I remember." Shen Nian nodded in agreement. If you ignore the corners of his mouth that were getting higher and higher, it would be more credible.
The two looked at each other for a while, and couldn't help but bent over with laughter!
Xia Tian sighed, she had no idea how successful she was! She had come all this way here and kidnapped a super handsome guy!
Ningxiang, Ningxue and the others made tea and served it to Shen Nian after he entered the room, then left.
Several people were waiting in the outer room, listening to the conversation between the two people in the room, and they couldn't help but blush secretly. Only their prince's wife would dare to speak to their prince like this.
This must be why the prince likes the lady.
Several maids moved quietly to the outside, and the laughter in the room infected everyone in Jinglan Garden.
Xia Tian and Shen Nian talked and played chess in the house until after dinner, when Shen Nian returned to Lingyun Pavilion.
Today happened to be the day when the Wu'an Marquis Mansion distributed monthly wages. Xia Tian was so happy that he took out his private money and gave an extra monthly wage to everyone in Jinglan Garden, making everyone as happy as if it were New Year's Day!
When doing things, the steps are bigger!
When Shen Nian heard that she gave everyone in Jinglan Garden an extra month's salary because she was happy, she couldn't help but laugh.
He sent Ningyue to give Xia Tian a box of small silver coins, asking her to keep them for others to enjoy.
Xia Tian’s eyes widened and said, “Wow, whose boss is so thoughtful? It turns out he’s mine.”
This time, not only did I not lose money, I even made a profit, which made me feel very happy.
After Chen Nian gave the silver, he followed suit and gave everyone in Lingyun Pavilion a monthly salary.
Now the image of the Crown Prince's wife instantly became higher in the minds of the servants in Lingyun Pavilion!
The servants in the two courtyards were all very excited. When the people in other courtyards heard about it, they could only feel secretly envious.
On the third day of ice skating, Xia Tian took Cuiyun with him.
Cuiyun is very perceptive and smart!
In the summer, my waist used to hurt from sitting in the stands, so I took Cuiyun for a walk around the skating rink. We didn’t walk far, and I could see the people in the stands clearly just by looking up.
But not long after, the trio came again.
"Ladies, what do you want?"
Cuiyun saw that the three people seemed to have bad intentions, so she calmly stood in front of Xia Tian and asked, "Ladies, what do you want to see our lady for?"
"The master is speaking, how dare you, a maid, butt in?" Hu Mengyao glared at him unkindly.
Xia Tian pulled Cuiyun and asked her to stand behind him. He asked in a rather unkind tone, "Ms. Hu, are you being so rude? I haven't offended you, have I?"
"Hmph, you're offending me by standing here." Hu Mengyao started to make trouble.
"I'm sorry, but I'm standing here and the Emperor and Empress haven't said anything. If you have any objections, you'll have to keep them to yourself."
"As a country boy, what qualifications do you have to stand here?" Hu Mengyao continued to sneer.
"As a citizen of the Dagan Dynasty, why am I not qualified to stand here?" Xia Tian asked back rudely.
"You are of humble origin, so you should go back to your hometown and stop embarrassing yourself here." Hu Mengyao raised her chin high and said arrogantly.
"Oh, I'm of humble origin? How am I humble? As farmers, did we farm without paying taxes? Or did we fail to contribute to defending our country?" Xia Tian was no longer angry at this moment. He asked her calmly, "And Miss Hu is of noble origin. What contributions have you made to the Dagan Dynasty? Come, tell me."
