Chapter 797: Shameful and Angry to Death
After Qingning left, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xie Ying said, "Last time Your Majesty borrowed my clothes, I washed them myself and returned them to Your Majesty. Thank you again, Your Majesty."
As she spoke, she handed over the bag.
Xiao Chen took it casually and put it on the table, "You're welcome." Not to mention Xie Ying, he would save anyone.
Xiao Chen drank a cup of tea to hide his embarrassment, "Miss Xie, would you like some tea?"
"If it's not too much trouble for His Majesty." She didn't want to go back after delivering the clothes.
"No trouble."
After not seeing each other for a long time, Xiao Chen thought he had forgotten everything long ago. However, when he saw the bright and beautiful Xie Ying standing in front of him, his heart tightened unconsciously.
The power of the incense really should not be underestimated.
"Miss Xie, please sit down first." Xiao Chen pointed to a chair beside him and stood up.
Xie Ying nodded and sat down at the round table. She seemed relaxed but was actually very nervous inside.
I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out of my throat.
After all, she was probably the first woman who actively pursued a man.
Xiao Chen calmly selected a scented tea for Xie Ying, brewed it and brought it to her. He also sat opposite Xie Ying and said, "This is the new scented tea sent by the emperor. Please try it."
Xie Ying took the tea, but it was too hot to hold, so he had to put it on the table and tried to find a topic to cover up the embarrassment, "Does the prince like to drink scented tea?"
"good."
good?
How could the Emperor not know the preferences of His Royal Highness the Prince? He doesn't like scented tea, so why did you send him scented tea?
Xiao Chen guessed a little bit. It was not that he liked to drink scented tea, but this scented tea might not be prepared by Yao'er for Xie Ying.
He really didn't know how to say it.
All the moves are endless and it is really hard to defend against.
"I have broken off the engagement with Lord Qing." Xie Ying held the teacup and blew gently on the steaming cup.
Xiao Chen nodded, "Yes, I know about this."
Of course Xie Ying knew it, and Xiao Chen knew it too. The news of her and Qing Chang'an breaking off their engagement spread all over the capital.
Some even say that she is unlucky.
"I heard that after the engagement was called off, the matchmaker broke down the door of Qing's mansion. I guess it won't have much impact on him, so I feel relieved." Xie Ying said lightly, his eyes fixed on the table and the flower teacup in his hand.
Xiao Chen said "hmm" again.
Xie Ying raised her eyes and looked at him, "Your Majesty, can I come to see you again in the future?"
Her eyes are very sincere.
Xiao Chen's lips moved, and he looked at Xie Ying and nodded slightly.
He agreed.
Xie Ying was extremely excited, embarrassed, and happy, and he couldn't find anything to say.
She was even angry with herself. Why was she so dull? What should she say at this time?
I have confessed my feelings twice.
Besides, she really wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
She picked up the teacup, took a sip, then praised the scented tea for being delicious and praised the prince for his profound and pure character.
As if she had never confessed.
Xiao Chen looked at her trying to find something to say and looked at the clothes beside her. "You just said that you washed the clothes yourself?"
"Well, I washed it myself." Because he said that they were not the same kind of people, because he did everything by himself.
Xiao Chen sighed. How could he not know that a young lady like Xie Ying, who had lived in the Duke's Mansion since childhood and had never done housework, actually washed his clothes.
"Actually, you don't have to do this. It's just a piece of clothing."
"No, those are the prince's clothes."
He looked at the girl in front of him and sighed, "But you can also let the servants wash it."
"No, those are the prince's clothes. I want to wash them myself."
At this point, Xie Ying blushed. Why did she look so much like a scoundrel, just like the deliberately seductive heroine in the book.
But she is not as bold as the heroine in the book.
The heroine in the book at least has a skill, such as embroidering purses or cooking meals that the hero likes.
What can she show Xiao Chen?
"Your Highness," Xie Ying looked at him steadily and said with a stiff upper lip, "Let me dance for you."
"what……"
Xie Ying didn't care and jumped first to show his respect.
She stood up and said, "Your Highness, I am very grateful to you, but I don't know anything else. I only know some music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."
"I dance well." After saying that, Xie Ying started dancing before he could refuse.
Anyway, he didn't kick her out, so she had no shame.
Her graceful figure shows her solid skills, as graceful as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon...
Every look she gave the young man seemed carefully designed, sometimes bright and sometimes half-covering her face.
Xiao Chen's heart was pounding as he watched the girl's graceful dance. He remained calm, as if drinking tea, but he could see her confident and sunny smile out of the corner of his eye.
Her every frown and smile was neither overly flattering nor secretive.
Her eyes, gestures and movements all expressed that she was pursuing him.
Xiao Chen was distracted.
Was it because of the incense or because his faith was unstable?
If it is because of the incense, when the effect of the incense wears off one day, will he be able to keep his love for this girl for the rest of his life?
If he himself is moved——
So does he really want to be her partner and grow old with her?
No, where was he thinking?
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, not daring to look at the bright girl any longer.
"Your Majesty?"
Xie Ying finished the dance, her breath was steady, and she walked directly to Xiao Chen's side, asking him as Qing Chang'an had asked her: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty, can you go with me to see the sea of flowers?"
It was Xiao Zhenzhen who told her about that sea of flowers. The Emperor and Lord Xie had also been to that sea of flowers in the past.
Xiao Chen raised his eyes to look at her, "I know what you mean."
Boom--Boom--
Xie Ying was so nervous that she stuttered, "Your Highness, I am not reckless or shameless. I just like you and love you. Do you believe me?"
Xiao Chen nodded, "I believe it."
"Then Your Majesty, can you promise to do so tomorrow..."
"Feel sorry."
A thud.
It was like a stone hitting the lake of her heart. Xie Ying had never suffered such a setback before, and her skin was not as thick as a city wall.
She just felt so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die. She was angry because she was eager for quick success and a little shameless.
She even thought of Qing Chang'an.
At the beginning, wasn't Qing Changan very cautious, his heart and eyes full of her, but she didn't like him?
Now, her heart and eyes are full of Xiao Chen, but she is not in his eyes.
"I know, I have overstepped my authority." Xie Ying bowed, "I will take my leave."
"Thank you Ying."
Xiao Chen stopped her and said, "My childhood experiences are not like those of ordinary people. I am not a person who knows how to love. I am sorry to disappoint you."
Xie Ying hid her hands in her sleeves with trembling hands, not daring to look at Xiao Chen. She was afraid that she would cry out of grievance and shame.
Just like what she said to Qing Changan, love cannot be forced, "I know what the prince means."
After saying that, Xie Ying bowed slightly, then turned and left.
