Chapter 886 Do I look like I'm joking?
"Anyway, you provoked me, so you have to take responsibility!" Xiao Chen said firmly, not allowing her to cheat.
Xie Ying looked at this——
Is this a rogue Prince Chen?
How could she not have realized before that he was such a person?
Xiao Chen pretended not to see the girl's puzzled expression. In short, she wanted to break up and dump him?
That's impossible!
It’s not that it starts when she says it starts, and it ends when she says it ends!
Xie Ying took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "I have to go back to study."
"It's time to go back and take a rest."
Xie Ying smiled slightly. Yes, she should go back now to take a rest, not to review her lessons or something.
"Well, goodbye, Your Majesty."
"Hmm?" He looked at Xie Ying, "What did you call me?"
"My Lord."
"No," he looked at her, not allowing her to fool him, "You make me suspicious. Are you going to..."
Seeing Xiao Chen hesitate to speak, Xie Ying frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
Why do I feel like he has changed so much?
Xiao Chen said: "I suspect you and Qing Changan are the same person. I suspect you will abandon me in the end!"
Xie Ying: “…”
"Why aren't you talking? Did I say something right?"
Xie Ying opened her mouth. She really almost admitted it, but, their relationship was so good now, and if she said this suddenly, he would definitely ask her questions. In this case, it would be difficult to break up.
"No, don't talk nonsense."
"That's good. I heard from the Emperor that my father and mother will also be returning to the capital. If you dare to abandon me at that time, I will ask my father and mother to make the decision for me!"
Xie Ying: “…”
Could it be that he felt it?
Yes, these few days, she deliberately used the excuse of being busy reviewing to avoid seeing him, so it was normal for him to have wild thoughts.
But what if she didn't do this?
Seeing that he was still staring at him for an answer, Xie Ying could only mumble, "No, no."
"That's good." He looked happy.
Afterwards, Xie Ying called out "Brother Chen", and Xiao Chen let her go. Looking at the girl and the maid leaving, Xiao Chen's heart was beating like thunder!
He even saw that Aying almost said that she wanted to break up with him. Fortunately, she still had him in her heart, so she held back and didn't say it out loud, right?
Why would she want to separate from herself?
"Sword Five!"
As soon as the young man's voice fell, Jian Wu landed not far away, "My lord."
"Keep an eye on the Qing Mansion and don't let them do anything to hurt Aying again." Xiao Chen said.
Jian Wu nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Logically speaking, Miss Xie is in the National Women's Prison, and as long as she doesn't go out, she won't be able to see Qing Chang'an.
Moreover, Qing Changan has been handing over his official duties these days and will be going to Yuncheng to take up his post soon...
Xiao Chen seemed to see through Jian Wu's thoughts and said, "Don't be lazy." Who knows if Qing Chang'an really accepted his fate this time!
"Yes."
After Jian Wu responded, Xiao Chen went to deal with some matters related to the National Women's Prison. After finishing these, he went back to the palace.
In the imperial study room.
When Xiao Yao saw Xiao Chen, she frowned slightly and looked at him with dull eyes, "Brother Emperor, are your affairs more difficult than my state affairs?"
Xiao Chen nodded: "Yeah."
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and looked at the pile of memorials on the imperial desk. "Brother, can you see these?"
She actually didn't mind asking Xie Yunchu to help, but Xie Yunchu refused!
And there is the royal brother. Ever since he started falling in love with Xie Ying, he no longer has any extra time to help her deal with these government affairs!
The worst thing is that the policies she wants to implement recently seem to be going smoothly, but in fact, even demonstrations in a city like the capital have not achieved the expected results. In short, although everyone supports it openly, secretly, how many slave owners are willing to let their slaves sit at the table for meals!
It's just like a fool's dream!
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, "After the Autumn Examination, I can help you with these things!" He said firmly.
Xiao Yao nodded, "Okay, okay."
She put down the imperial pen and said, "Brother, please speak."
Then he stood up, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen, and the brother and sister sat on the kang nearby to talk.
"Aying, she really wants to—not want me anymore."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yao almost spit out the tea she had just drunk, "How is that possible? Your joke is not funny. Besides, you two have finally come this far, why would she want to separate from you?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yao: Do you think I'm joking?
He was originally a Buddhist and Taoist, and he had no intention of being involved in the love and affection of the world.
But now that he has entered this mortal world, how can he escape easily?
What's more, ever since he convinced himself that he was willing to spend his life with Aying, there would never be a chance for him to turn back!
His calm heart was boiling because of Aying, and it would never be able to return to the way it was before!
Xiao Yao looked at her brother's slightly frowned brows, and thought about what he had said a few days ago, that Aying might be feeling insecure, and therefore a little distant from her brother.
But after so much time has passed, are we becoming more and more distant?
"Did A-Ying tell you?"
"No, but I read her lip movements and found out that she told Mingzhu that she would gradually distance herself from me until I no longer liked her..."
Xiao Yao smiled, "Would the emperor dislike her?"
"Of course not!"
"That's easy, my brother, don't look so stern. If you really like her, just humble yourself and try to please her, right?"
Xiao Chen: “…”
It seems that what he thought today was not entirely wrong.
Xiao Yao continued: "Learn from Father!"
"How is Father?"
"Father is very strong. If he wasn't so competitive and strong, based on the gossip I've heard over the years, Father might not have been able to win over Uncle Rong."
Xiao Chen: “…”
Xiao Yao laughed, "Of course, of course. It's mainly because Father got the upper hand. He married Mother back home. Uncle Rong was just a little bit less lucky."
Looking at her playful appearance, she doesn't have the calmness of an emperor at all. However, what Yao'er said does make sense.
If he continues to be a gentleman, can he hold Aying's hand?
"Anyway, don't be shy, be more proactive." Xiao Yao thought it was a very small matter.
Xiao Chen felt that he was proactive enough.
"Royal brother, don't forget what I told you at the beginning. If Xie Yunchu hadn't fought for it, who knows how many concubines I would have taken by now!" At that time, she thought she liked Uncle Rong.
It was impossible to be with Uncle Rong. She had already thought it through. Since she couldn't get the love she wanted, she would just choose a servant who she liked.
It was also at this time that Xie Yunchu's boldness and lecherous behavior made her change her mind again and again. It turned out that the person she had never cared about had already grown up and had a crush on her!
"If your royal brother is always boring, after a while, Aying will get tired of you and no longer like you, then she will really abandon you." Xiao Yao said deliberately to scare him.
