Chapter 132 Unique
Shen Jingxuan was distracted by Xie Lingxiao's confession just now. Now that she has calmed down, she realizes that she has overlooked something important.
Xie Lingxiao noticed her mood change and gently pinched her cheek: "Xuan'er, what happened?"
"Xie Lingxiao, how many girls do you have in your house?" Shen Jingxuan asked truthfully.
She doesn't like to compete with others for men, and she is even less willing to share with others.
It is impossible for her, a person of the new era, to share a husband with a group of women.
If that were the case, she would rather never get married and never have anyone she loves.
Xie Lingxiao raised his thick eyebrows slightly: "No." He put his forehead against Shen Jingxuan's: "There is no woman in the mansion."
The warm breath sprayed on Shen Jingxuan's face, and her eyes suddenly widened.
Looking at the cheek so close, Shen Jingxuan's heartbeat kept getting faster and faster. The hand on Xie Lingxiao's chest tightened slightly, and she pulled Xie Lingxiao's collar hard.
Not sure if it was because her actions with Xie Lingxiao were too intimate, or because of Xie Lingxiao's answer, but Shen Jingxuan was a little nervous.
"No women?" Shen Jingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully pondering the meaning of a few words.
Xie Lingxiao knew why she didn't believe it.
Not to mention the Prince Regent's Palace, there is no palace in the capital that doesn't have concubines and maids.
Even some families with a slightly better life would have a few maids to serve them.
Xie Lingxiao kissed Shen Jingxuan's lips gently: "When we get married, you will be the only mistress of the mansion."
Shen Jingxuan blushed as she savored Xie Lingxiao's words. She turned away uncomfortably, but she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart.
Hearing footsteps outside, Shen Jingxuan hurriedly got up and quickly tidied her messy clothes.
Ling Feng and Xu Lao strode into the house.
Shen Jingxuan's cheeks were still flushed, and she hurried forward: "Second Master, take a look at his body."
“Don’t worry, let me take a look first.” Seeing that his face was slightly red, Mr. Xu comforted her and went forward to check on Xie Lingxiao’s condition.
After he checked Xie Lingxiao's pulse, he said with approval, "Xuan'er did a great job."
The servants of the mansion came in with the medicine prepared for Xie Lingxiao. Shen Jingxuan took it and handed it to Old Xu for him to check.
"Second Master, do you think there is anything wrong with this medicine?" Shen Jingxuan asked with a glance.
Old Xu's relieved smile reached his eyes: "Yes, you will be well after taking this medicine for a few days."
When Shen Jingxuan heard the affirmation from her second master, she breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little excited.
She was really happy to receive praise from the Second Master, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
Shen Jingxuan took the medicine bowl and handed it to Xie Lingxiao: "It's best to drink it while it's hot."
"Okay." Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan with gentle eyes.
He took small sips of the medicine in the bowl, the bitter taste passing over the tip of his tongue and hitting his taste buds.
But no matter how bitter it is, it still can't compare to the sweetness in my heart.
Thinking about Shen Jingxuan's agreement to be with him, it seemed that no matter how bitter the medicine was, it could not suppress the sweetness that came after all the bitterness.
Shen Jingxuan had lunch with Xie Lingxiao in the Regent's Palace, and then left the palace with Chuntao.
The sun was shining brightly. Shen Jingxuan raised her hand to block the sunlight from shining directly on her and strolled on the busy street.
The streets were bustling with people and the noise was endless, with hawkers shouting one after another on the roadside.
Shen Jingxuan's best mood was gradually destroyed by the person who blocked her way.
The fifth princess Xie Shiyin stood in front of her, and beside her was Lu Jinxuan, whom she had not seen for a long time.
With her way blocked, Shen Jingxuan moved to the side, and Xie Shiyin followed her, still standing in front of her.
Xie Shiyin's eyes were filled with sarcasm as she sneered, "It's really bad luck that I run into a foolish girl when I go out of the palace?"
"Cousin, maybe I violated a taboo today. It's really not suitable for me to travel."
Lu Jinxuan tried her best to control herself. She didn't want to make any comments or get involved.
Shen Jingxuan felt calm, as if Xie Shiyin was talking about someone else. Then she curled her lips and smiled: "The Fifth Princess is right. If you know you will meet someone who spoils the fun, it's better to sit in the mansion and watch the fish and lotus."
"You..." Xie Shiyin was unhappy, but didn't know how to refute.
Shen Jingxuan saw her face flushed, glanced at her nonchalantly, and turned aside to leave.
Xie Shiyin was unwilling to give in, and once again stopped in front of Shen Jingxuan: "Shen Jingxuan, what are you so proud of? No matter how noble you pretend to be, my brother the prince will not marry you."
"Fifth Princess, you said something wrong. It's not that Xie Zihan doesn't want to marry me, it's that I don't want to marry."
Shen Jingxuan raised her lips and said, "Oh, by the way, how about you help me convey Xie Zihan's message?"
Xie Shiyin glared at Shen Jingxuan without thinking: "What did you say?"
Based on what Shen Jingxuan had done in the past, Xie Shiyin thought that she was just trying every means to get her to say good things for her.
"Fifth Princess, just tell Xie Zihan to stop bothering me in the future. I will never marry, and I don't want to marry..."
There was confusion in Xie Shiyin's eyes. Shen Jingxuan had only said half of her words. She stared at Shen Jingxuan, waiting for her next words.
The smile on Shen Jingxuan's face continued to grow: "Even if I never get married, I would rather marry a breeding pig."
Xie Shiyin was stunned by Shen Jingxuan's words.
Shen Jingxuan pushed her away and continued walking. Xie Shiyin came back to her senses and quickly caught up with her.
"Shen Jingxuan, don't even think about leaving today." Xie Shiyin glared at Shen Jingxuan.
"You are a foolish girl, who would be willing to marry you? My cousin is the most gentle and considerate, she is the one who is suitable to marry the prince as his principal wife."
Shen Jingxuan didn't expect Xie Shiyin to be so difficult. She said impatiently, "Then you can ask and see if your cousin agrees?"
The fifth princess's cousin is Lu Zhenyu. Given his affection for Lu Jinxuan, Lu Jinxuan would probably have a hard time after learning about this.
"Cousin, let's go back home." Lu Jinxuan was extremely flustered, and her voice trembled slightly.
She looked at Shen Jingxuan in horror: "Miss Shen, my cousin is still young, I hope you don't take it to heart."
Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Lu Jinxuan was puzzled. What she and Lu Zhenyu had done was unknown to their parents, so how did Shen Jingxuan know?
"Why should I take it to heart? Xie Zihan and I have long since made peace. Your affairs have nothing to do with me."
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Shiyin coldly: "A good dog doesn't block the road, what does the Fifth Princess think?"
"Someone, catch her and don't let her leave." Xie Shiyin was extremely angry. From childhood to adulthood, no one around her dared to talk to her like this.
In the palace, anyone who saw her had to bow respectfully and call her the Fifth Princess.
Who dares to compare her to a dog like Shen Jingxuan?
Shen Jingxuan looked at the people who gathered around her and said disdainfully, "Xie Shiyin, are you sure you want to stop me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a girl in a lavender dress gently pushed through the crowd and walked towards her shyly.
The woman had small light pink gardenias embroidered on her body, making her look like a little bird.
Shen Jingxuan was amazed by the woman's appearance and was a little confused as to why she appeared here.
"I...I'll help you." The woman blushed as she spoke.
"..."
Looking at the woman who blushed even when she spoke, Shen Jingxuan looked up at the sky in silence, not understanding why she had the courage to stand up and shamelessly say that she wanted to help her.
