"I'm sorry to have worried you, Eighth Brother. Do not tell anyone about this matter, remember that." Xuan Mingye did not mean to keep it from his Eighth Brother, but he was afraid that his Eighth Brother would be tricked into revealing information by those with ill intentions.
Mmm!
The Prince nodded repeatedly, then patted his chest happily and said, "It's good that you can stand up. My mother was worried that if things continued like this, Miss Qian would be left to live a life of widowhood. No, I mean, Sixth Princess Consort!"
Well……
Xuan Mingye swallowed awkwardly, his face flushing as he thought of someone.
hehe……
The Prince Xian saw his sixth brother so shy for the first time and couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, he felt something was off, and then realized that he hadn't seen his sixth sister-in-law since entering the house.
"No need to look anymore, she's not coming." Xuan Mingye waved his hand and lay back down in disappointment.
"Did Sixth Brother make things difficult for her?" Only after the Prince Xian said this did he think of something.
The legendary young lady of the Qian family is a good-for-nothing and an ugly monster. Could it be that she is too unsightly for Sixth Brother to accept?
However, Sixth Brother was once so handsome that most people were not worthy of him. When the imperial decree was issued, even Mother felt it was unfair to Sixth Brother. But it wasn't Miss Qian's fault either.
Xuan Mingye's lips curled up slightly. He had indeed been wronged, but many people in the Prince's Mansion had also suffered along with him. This tit-for-tat was a fair exchange.
"Sixth Brother, get some rest. Eighth Brother, go and say hello to the Empress Dowager, and you must return to the palace as well." Prince Xian did not miss the smile on his sixth brother's lips. There were not many people who could make the sixth brother smile. He was rather curious about this Miss Qian.
"She might not see you while she's angry. Go if you want!" Xuan Mingye reminded the Prince Xian, not wanting his good-natured younger brother to run into trouble.
Um!
The wise king nodded in understanding, eager to see this extraordinary woman.
So, the Wise King bid farewell to Xuan Mingye, and Leng Xue led his men to the entrance of Qian Youxue's courtyard.
Leng Qing, who was guarding the courtyard gate, stepped forward and bowed. Hearing that the Prince Xian was going to visit the Princess, she kindly reminded him, "Your Highness, you should go back. The Princess hasn't seen anyone since yesterday."
"Why?" the wise king asked curiously.
Leng Qing looked at Leng Xue with a troubled expression, and Leng Xue then recounted what had happened to the Prince Xian. The Prince Xian's expression darkened upon hearing it; how could the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family be so utterly lacking in manners?
Just as Prince Xian was hesitating whether to go in, he heard Yunhe's voice from inside: "Your Highness, our young lady said that since you rarely leave the palace, she would like to invite you in for a cup of tea."
Leng Xue and Leng Qing's expressions darkened upon hearing Yun He's words. If something were to happen to the Prince Xian in the palace, their prince would be implicated.
For safety's sake, Leng Xue decided to follow him inside, but was stopped by Yun He at the door: "Our young lady said that she only wants to see His Highness Prince Xian."
How can a lone man and a lone woman be together?
Leng Xue thought to himself but dared not say it aloud. He gave Leng Qing a wink, and Leng Qing understood and spoke up: "Miss Yunhe, let me go in with you, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the Prince."
Yunhe hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. It was indeed inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone together, so she stepped aside to make way for them.
Inside the room, Qian Youxue stood by the window. Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned around. Without her veil, her face was ugly, and her smile revealed a set of unsettling white teeth.
The wise prince stepped inside, looked up and met Qian Youxue's gaze, and saw this unrecognizable face. For a moment, he was so frightened that he couldn't take another step.
