Chapter 818: Not Being Deceived, Just Being Angry

"See you, Your Majesty."

After Xiao Chen and Jian Wu approached, Xie Shan bowed happily, holding something in her hand - it seemed to be a pillow.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Shanxiangping stood behind him and hesitated to speak. "This is a sleeping pillow that I asked my father to sew for you after I returned home. I hope Your Highness will accept it."

"Oh, yes, it's also to thank the prince for saving my life."

Xiao Chen suddenly thought of the sachet. He slept very soundly during his nap at noon, but could he keep this sleeping pillow?

He looked at Jian Wu.

Jian Wu pursed his lips and looked away. Of course he couldn't accept it. What if Miss Xie Ying misunderstood?

Xiao Chen didn't know what Jian Wu was thinking, but he could see that Jian Wu felt that the pillow should not be taken away, which was quite ambiguous.

Just when Xiao Chen was about to refuse, Xie Shanxiang said, "Your Highness, this is my father's sincere heart. I hope you will accept it as a token of my father's gratitude to you."

As he spoke, Xie Shanxiang knelt down on his knees and presented it with both hands.

in this way--

Xiao Chen glanced at Jian Wu and said, "Then take it."

Jian Wu: “…”

Jian Wu had no choice but to accept it, and then he heard Xiao Chen say, "Saving people that day was just a piece of cake, so don't send anything to me again from now on."

Xie Shanxiang: “…”

"Yes, Your Highness." She felt so wronged that she was about to cry. The prince was obviously fine before. Could she have mistaken the nervous voice when he saved her?

Could it be that the prince has no other intentions towards her and this is all just her illusion?

Or--

Xie Shanxiang suddenly thought of Xie Ying. Xie Ying often came to bother His Royal Highness Prince Chen. On the day she fell into the water, Prince Chen thought it was Xie Ying who fell into the water, so the panicked call of "Miss Xie" was referring to Xie Ying, not her, Xie Shanxiang?

I felt a wave of loss in my heart. Was His Royal Highness Prince Chen really seduced away by Xie Ying?

Xie Shanxiang stood up and was about to leave unwillingly, but was stopped by Xiao Chen, "Don't come to the lotus pond anymore. There is also a lotus pond over the dormitory, where you can enjoy the lotus flowers."

"Your Highness..." The girl's eyes were red, her lips were trembling, and her face was flushed with shame.

Xiao Chen didn't look at her.

Xie Shan bowed and said, "Yes."

Xie Ying called off Lord Qing's engagement, and now she's trying to seduce His Royal Highness Prince Chen. With her family background, why does she have to compete with people of the lower class like them everywhere?

It is true that everyone has their own destiny. People are already divided into different classes when they are in the womb!!!

Looking at Xie Shanxiang's departing back, Jian Wu said, "It seems that the prince never told Miss Xie not to continue coming."

Xiao Chen glanced at Jian Wu, and then he saw that Tang An and the two young eunuchs seemed to have been waiting for a long time in the pavilion.

As soon as the female student left, Tang An came over with two young eunuchs.

Xiao Chen looked at the wooden box, then at the sky which was already darkening. He had to stay up late tonight.

"Your Highness, may you be well and safe." Tang An and the two young eunuchs bowed together.

"Give it to Jianwu."

"Yes."

Jian Wu took the two wooden boxes, and Tang An and the other two left.

After Jian Wu carried the wooden box back into the house, he said to Xiao Chen, "Your Majesty, I will prepare food and a pot of tea for you."

"Thank you."

No, no, it’s his honor to take care of the prince’s daily life.

Xiao Chen thought about the cakes he brought back today, and he didn't know whether Xie Ying would come back tomorrow, or whether she would like to eat them.

Anyway, he placed the cakes wrapped in oil paper on a small stool on the kang, waiting to arrange them on a nice plate tomorrow.

It's quite interesting to think about her eating cakes like a little mouse.

After dinner, Xiao Chen began to review memorials, and did not finish until late at night.

Among them, there was also a memorial from Duke Xie, saying that there were quite a lot of female students in Jinzhou.

Jinzhou——

Because of troublemakers like Chang Weihao and Tao Wenjun's victory, if nothing unexpected happens, that place will become the cradle for the first batch of students to enroll and enter officialdom.

It was not until the hour of Hai that Xiao Chen finished reviewing the memorials.

Looking at the two boxes of memorials and thinking of Yao'er, the hands-off emperor, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

And today he went to see Uncle Rong. He was really looking forward to finding Uncle Rong. There were many uncertainties in his heart that troubled him.

Unfortunately, he had no one to talk to.

After washing up and going to bed, Xiao Chen casually placed the sachet on the bedside. After tossing and turning for a while as usual, he actually fell into a deep sleep.

at the same time.

Xie Ying also suffered from insomnia, which was a rare occurrence.

When Xie Shanxiang was talking to other students, perhaps on purpose for her to hear, Xiao Chen not only took her sachet, but also her pillow.

These are things that are so personal.

Does Xiao Chen really not understand girls’ thoughts?

Day two.

Xie Ying woke up, feeling groggy. It was the first time she suffered from insomnia. She couldn't help but wonder, was Xiao Chen so nice to everyone, or was he special to her?

She couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Chen did not refuse her entanglement.

And didn’t he also not reject Xie Shanxiang’s approach?

Thinking about it, she was a little angry.

"Sister? You didn't sleep all night, did you?" Xie Jiaojiao asked.

Xie Ying shook his head.

Mingzhu, Shuihe also felt that Miss Xie did not look very well today.

"Is it obvious?" She had insomnia last night and didn't remember how long she slept before she was woken up by the sound of getting up.

Xie Jiaojiao nodded, probably knowing what her elder sister was thinking, "That Xie Shanxiang might be deliberately letting my elder sister know that His Royal Highness Prince Chen treats her differently. This is to compete with you, you can't be fooled."

She wasn't fooled, she was just angry, "He accepted everyone who came to him."

"Why don't I try it too?" Xie Jiaojiao suggested.

Xie Ying glanced at her and said, "Are you crazy? How old are you?"

Xie Jiaojiao laughed and said, "No more talking, sister, hurry up and wash up, the morning class is about to start."

"Ah."

Mingzhu and Shuihe hurried forward to serve.

After lunch, Xie Ying hurried back to the dormitory to rest.

In Gezhizhai, after Xiao Chen came back from court, he had already taken out the cakes bought yesterday from the chilled jade plate. When she came later, she would be able to eat the relatively fresh cakes.

But time passed little by little, and Xie Ying did not come.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to call Jian Wu over, "You eat it."

Jian Wu: “…” He, a grown man, doesn’t like to eat these sweet and greasy pastries.

"Your Majesty, how about I send it to Miss Xie?"

Aren't you all thinking of her? Just send it over, don't be shy!

Xiao Chen looked at Jian Wu. Is it appropriate?

Jian Wu pursed his lips and nodded. If the prince had other thoughts about Miss Xie and wanted to pursue her, he felt that there was no problem at all and it was perfectly appropriate.

"Eat or not?"

Jianwu frowned and took two pieces of pastries. He really couldn't have more.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

Xie Ying didn't come.

For the first time, Xiao Chen felt that the sound of the cicadas was a bit annoying, so he called Jian Wu over and said, "Drive that thing away."
