Chapter 171 Qinghe County Lord
Hejian Prefecture.
Inside the prefectural office, Xie Cijing was sitting at his desk handling official business, his pair of white, slender hands with distinct joints flipping through official documents.
Time flowed quietly, and he couldn't help but clear his mind for a moment. Zhenzhen... Is the Princess Consort of Yan okay?
Then she laughed at herself for being too sentimental. How could His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan treat her badly?
In Hejian Prefecture, merchants traveling back and forth could be heard talking about how His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan in the capital treated the Princess of Yan like a pearl, even more exaggeratedly than holding her in the palm of his hand, and he was afraid that she would melt if he held her in his mouth.
It was as if he, the ex-fiancé, had been erased from the life of Princess Yan, leaving no trace.
Xie Cijing silently put down the document in his hand and touched his furrowed brows with his slender knuckles. This year was really not a good one for him.
But who could he blame? Ultimately, it was his fault that he couldn't even get into Zhenzhen's heart.
It is well deserved that His Royal Highness Prince Yan gets the beauty.
This is his fate, he accepts it.
At this time, the servant Xie Mo said outside: "Sir, the Princess of Qinghe County wants to invite you to lunch." What sin had he committed? His master's life was hard enough, but he was favored by the lesbian Princess of Qinghe County.
The feng shui of Hejian Prefecture is indeed not very good. His mistress is so beautiful that she is not safe here at all.
Not to mention that there was a homosexual Prince of Hejian. His master was a prefect of the fourth rank. In addition, he was the eldest son of the Minister of Rites and a student of Prime Minister Su. The Prince of Hejian did not dare to make a move on his master.
One time, Princess Qinghe accidentally saw the appearance of his master and she was determined to marry him. Xie Mo was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth.
How could a woman like this, who had had countless lovers, compare to the Princess Consort of Yan?
But the Princess of Qinghe County happened to be standing next to him. Xie Mo was afraid that if he didn't inform her, what would happen if she just barged in?
Xie Cijing's handsome face darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Thank you for your kindness, County Lady. I am busy with official duties, so it's not necessary." This Qinghe County Lady was simply a sticky person. No matter how much Xie Cijing refused her, she just laughed, as if she didn't take it to heart at all.
The Princess of Qinghe County did not dare to barge in and disturb Xie Cijing from handling official business. He was a fourth-rank prefect, and she was just a princess of a vassal state without real power. She did not dare to challenge the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
She just said: "I am waiting here for Mr. Xie to finish his official business." The maid quickly brought her a rosewood chair and sat down directly in the courtyard in the front yard.
As they were about to arrive at Hejian Prefecture, Su Zhenzhen felt as if a restless deer was living in her heart, making her feel very uneasy.
She stretched out her slender white fingers and tugged at the sleeve of the man beside her, secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, then grasped his knuckles with her small hand and placed her palm in his.
Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Su Zhenzhen gently shook their interlocked hands, "Husband, I..." She now felt guilty for bringing her husband to meet her ex-boyfriend.
Although she didn't know why she felt guilty, it was obvious that there was nothing between her and Xie Cijing.
It was rare for Rong Jinchen to see her with such a guilty expression. He felt amused but couldn't help wanting to scare her. Although he was confident now that Qingqing wouldn't even look at that man, there was only him, Rong Jinchen, in her heart.
But Rong Jinchen would be a fool to push away Su Zhenzhen, the little white rabbit who had come to his doorstep, when it could benefit him. So he just said "hmm" lightly, "Qingqing, what's wrong?" He looked at her with puzzled eyes.
The girl bit her delicate and charming lips and said, "Husband." She looked at the man in front of her a little timidly. His throat rolled slightly. He was attracted by her delicate appearance and his voice was hoarse. "Hmm?"
Su Zhenzhen felt very uncomfortable under his gaze, which seemed to have substance. "When we get to Hejian Prefecture, you are not allowed to be jealous." Her voice was a little trembling. Oh my god, this man's eyes were too seductive. She, Su Zhenzhen, was too good to be with.
He saw Su Zhenzhen's body soften and she snuggled directly into his arms, "Well, will Qingqing give me this opportunity to be jealous?" He couldn't help but gently describe her picturesque eyebrows and eyes.
"I...I won't." Su Zhenzhen subconsciously twisted her slender waist, her eyes were filled with water at some point, and she looked at the handsome man with clear features with misty eyes.
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips and lowered his head to her snow-white cheek, where no pores could be seen. His breathing was shallow, and his high nose bridge rubbed against hers intimately. "Thank you, Qingqing, for caring about me." Su Zhenzhen subconsciously replied, "You're welcome." After reacting, she bit her lip in annoyance. Before she could say anything, her cherry lips were blocked by Rong Jinchen...
Immersed in her lover's passionate kiss, Su Zhenzhen's foggy little head had only one thought: How could this man be so seductive!
In fact, she wanted to say Hong Shixian's famous saying, but unfortunately she was a girl who couldn't swear.
Not like the man in front of me, huh.
Rong Jinchen did it on purpose, although he felt that there was no need to take his defeated opponent seriously.
But as a man, he had to be vigilant at all times. Who made Qingqing so cute and so deeply in love with him? What if another man came to compete with him for her?
He will never forget that Qingqing has a cousin who was her childhood sweetheart. Cousins are a perfect match!
Hejian Prince's Mansion.
The Princess of Qinghe County returned in defeat again. Back in her own courtyard, she sat on the chaise longue with a blush on her charming face, which really made her angry.
The maid hurriedly brought her tea and consoled her, saying, "Please calm down, my lady. Otherwise, we won't have to fight to the death with Master Xie." She then complained, "How can a man like him, who doesn't understand romance, be as knowledgeable and interesting as other young masters?"
If she were to say, their county lady was extremely beautiful and of noble status, so how could she not be worthy of Lord Xie?
The county lord is a royal relative, and Lord Xie is just an ordinary minister.
The Princess of Qinghe County took a sip of Biluochun tea and said, "I'm attracted to him." Such a handsome man should be her husband.
You should know that the Princess of Qinghe's maternal family is a famous aristocratic family in Hejian Prefecture, so she is not short of money and does not rely on the court's salary to make a living.
In addition, the Prince of Hejian has been in Hejian Prefecture for many years, and she can be said to have absolute power, because her father has no son.
The Princess of Qinghe County had often broken up other people's lovers and fiancées, but her father had always settled the matter or taken money to ward off evil.
Anyway, the man will not suffer any loss. She is so beautiful. When she gets tired of playing, they can break up and just treat it as choosing a husband. What's so strange about that?
Her father had no son, which meant that she had to find a son-in-law. The future son of the Princess of Qinghe County would be the Prince of Hejian.
The title of a prince of the royal family is hereditary, while the title of a meritorious official or relative is inherited as a lower-level title, except for the hereditary title.
In other words, even if her future son is the second son, he will be a first-rank general.
Many ministers from aristocratic families in the capital may look down upon this title because there are many royal families in the capital, but in Hejian Prefecture, the Princess of Qinghe County has never met a man who does not buy into it.
