Chapter 808: Claiming sovereignty?

"She - should know." Qing Chang'an replied.

Should know?

Xiao Chen looked at Qing Changan, "Instead of saying this to me, you should be more sincere to Miss Xie."

"I am sure you are sincere."

Xiao Chen clenched his fists in his sleeves. Why did he feel uncomfortable when he heard Qing Chang'an say these words?

Originally, he had already stepped past Qing Changan, but he still turned back and said, "From now on, don't tell me about you and Miss Xie."

"My minister obeys."

Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves and left.

Qing Chang'an looked at the back, with the corners of his lips slightly raised. Xiao Chen probably has no feelings for Aying.

Thinking of this, Qing Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief.

At noon, in the dining room on the east side of the National Women's Prison, adjacent to the dormitory, in the five-bay hall, students were already having their meals at long tables and benches.

As soon as Xie Ying, Xie Jiaojiao, Song Yunxian, Tao Wenjun and others arrived at the dining hall, a student came over and called out, "Xie Ying, Master Qing wants to see you."

"Hey, Mr. Qing..."

Xie Ying's lips moved and he thought for a moment, "What does Lord Qing want me to do?"

"I do not know then."

Xie Jiaojiao and Tao Wenjun looked at each other, then said to Xie Ying, "Sister, go ahead."

How can we stimulate His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen if we don't make a big move?

"it is good."

Xie Ying also took the risk.

She also wanted to see what Qing Changan was up to, and also wanted to see if Xiao Chen would notice her.

As Xie Ying was about to serve the meal, the man said, "Master Qing said that the cook has already taken the table to Xinglinzhai."

Meaning, she was going to have dinner with Qing Chang'an?

Xie Ying looked at Xie Jiaojiao and Tao Wenjun, and the latter two nodded. If they didn't have any contact, how could His Royal Highness Prince Chen get jealous?

Song Yunxian said: "Haven't you already broken off the engagement with Lord Qing?" Why are they mixed up again?

Xie Ying was also a little embarrassed.

Song Yunxian continued: "So, is Lord Qing a good person or a bad person?"

Xie Ying didn't dare to ruin Qing Chang'an's reputation, "He is very good."

"Then why did you cancel the engagement?"

"It's just that there is no romantic relationship between him and me. Since the emperor has said that marriage between men and women should not only be decided by parents and matchmakers, he should also listen to the voices of us women."

Song Yunxian: “…”

"You're right." She admitted that she was a little angry. Since Qing Chang'an was such a good person, why should she cancel the engagement?

However, Xie Ying was right. Matters of marriage should not be solely based on the orders of parents and matchmakers, but should also be based on the wishes of the women themselves.

"But, you are now?" Are you dating again? Are you so fickle? Song Yunxian didn't understand this.

Xie Ying said: "It's hard to explain it in a few words. If one day you want to hear it, I will tell you when I am willing to."

After saying this, Xie Ying nodded slightly and left.

Song Yunxian stood there and everyone was looking at her.

Xie Jiaojiao asked: "Sister likes Lord Qing?"

Song Yunxian blushed but did not deny it. Such a clean man, who was also the third place in the imperial examination, the Chief Censor, and the acting Minister of Education, was better than most men in Cangyun Country.

Tao Wenjun said: "Aying's matter is a bit complicated, so let's focus on academic studies first and talk about emotional matters later."

Others don’t know, but Tao Wenjun and Xie Jiaojiao know that Qing Chang’an even fell ill because of Xie Ying.

Now, he might have to carry the disease for the rest of his life. In this case, even though Xie Ying knew that Qing Chang'an still wanted to pester him, he had no choice but to cooperate. Perhaps as time went by, Qing Chang'an himself would see clearly that this relationship was not worth his infatuation and devotion.

Song Yunxian looked at Tao Wenjun.

She still admired Tao Wenjun very much, "Well, I'll listen to Sister Tao."

Xinglinzhai.

After Xie Ying arrived, Qing Chang'an quickly moved the table to the courtyard, which was spacious and there was no need to worry about people gossiping.

The food was neatly arranged and the dishes were the same as those in the dining hall, but there was one more meat dish.

It seems, sir, that the teachers' meals are indeed much better than those of the students.

"Aying, come quickly."

Xie Ying walked over and looked at Qing Changan. For a moment, he didn't know whether to call him Sir, Master, Young Master Qing, or Brother Qing...

He called Aying——

Xie Ying shouted, "Brother Qing, there's really no need to do this, right? Others are talking about it. After all, we've called off the engagement."

Qing Changan smiled and handed over the bamboo chopsticks, "If not, how can you achieve your wish?"

"what?"

"The prince has attended the morning court today, and it is estimated that it is time for him to leave the court. If he does not go to the office, he may leave the court in a short while."

Qing Changan motioned for her to take a seat.

Xie Ying had no choice but to sit down. Qing Changan continued, "I met the prince this morning and talked to him."

"You, what did you say?"

The two of them ate and chatted.

Qing Chang'an did not lie to Xie Ying and repeated almost everything he said.

After hearing this, Xie Ying felt depressed. Xiao Chen's reaction made her look like a clown in front of Qing Chang'an.

She broke off the engagement, partly because she wanted to follow her own heart, and partly because she didn't want to live a life of compromise in marriage...

But as far as Qing Chang'an was concerned, she broke off the engagement with him because of Xiao Chen.

And now, the person she loved had no feelings for her at all, which made her feel really embarrassed.

"Aying, I don't mean to ridicule you or laugh at you." Qing Chang'an handed over a cup of tea.

Xie Ying nodded, "Thank you."

Qing Chang'an smiled slightly. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to sit and have a meal with Aying.

If Aying still cannot win the heart of Prince Chen after three to five years, he still has a chance.

Thinking of this, Qing Changan felt sweet in his heart.

Not long after, Qing Chang'an saw from the corner of his eye that by the lotus pond, Xiao Chen was wearing a python robe in front, and Jian Wu was wearing a dark tight clothes behind.

Xie Ying wondered what Qing Chang'an was looking at, and was about to turn back when Qing Chang'an interrupted her, "Don't look back."

"The prince is back and is by the lotus pond. Here, this lotus root box is delicious, try it." Qing Chang'an gave Xie Ying some food while giving it to her.

Xie Ying instantly became nervous.

Will Xiao Chen be jealous when he sees her and Qing Changan together?

Would he even think that he was a frivolous woman and hate himself even more?

Or was it that, as a Buddhist in the human world, he would not be affected by others' emotions at all, and at this moment he just glanced at them and returned to Gezhizhai from the lotus pond with a calm heart?

Xie Ying didn't know, but since this thing had already been done, there was no turning back. Facing Qing Changan's intimate behavior, she just treated it as acting. When he picked up food for her, she just smiled and acted like she liked the food very much.

The position chosen by Qing Chang'an was so conspicuous that Xiao Chen and Jian Wu couldn't ignore it.

After returning to Gezhizhai, Jian Wu said, "Lord Qing and Miss Xie are so close now? They have called off the engagement, but they are still entangled. Is Lord Qing asserting his sovereignty?"

He thought he was talking to himself, but in fact, he was really talking to himself. The prince did not respond at all and no emotion could be seen at all.
