Chapter 900: You are thinking about His Royal Highness Prince Chen
Xie Yunchu frowned, as if asking why he suddenly mentioned these two people?
Xiao Chen said: "Yao'er has looked for me, and Jian Wu has also looked for me."
"This is such a beautiful misunderstanding." Xie Yunchu would never admit that he thought Zhang Zhao was too handsome.
He felt that Zhang Zhao was only a few points inferior to him.
"Then don't introduce those distant cousins of yours to him." Xiao Chen said.
Xie Yunchu chuckled, "I just think Mr. Zhang is very handsome. It was just a joke, but I really want to be a matchmaker for him."
Xiao Chen looked at Xie Yunchu.
Xie Yunchu also looked back at him. What kind of look was that? "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's just a joke. Yao'er is under a lot of pressure right now. This year's exam is a very important matter for her and for the women of Cangyun Country."
"I know."
Xie Yunchu sighed. In fact, he was also a little annoyed. Perhaps he was suspicious, so he felt that Zhang Zhao had other thoughts about A Yao.
Think about it, how dare Zhang Zhao, a minister, covet the emperor!
The two smiled at each other, then clasped their hands and said goodbye.
One took a carriage to the imperial city, and the other took a carriage back to Prince Chen's Palace.

The next day, the sky was clear and sunny.
The students who took part in the exam entered the examination room carrying quilts, writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, dry food and other daily necessities. The people who sent them off also showed off their talents and gave all kinds of good wishes.
The weather was good for the imperial examination this autumn, with sunny days in a row.
Even so, there were still people who were physically exhausted and were carried out by the police...
As the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, Xiao Chen went to several examination halls to make sure everything went smoothly.
It was not until the last exam that Xiao Chen arrived at Xie Ying's examination room. He only glanced at her from a distance. She looked a little tired, but in good condition.
After the scientific expedition.
Among the students walking out of the examination room, some were depressed and distressed, some were full of energy, in short, they were all different.
After Xie Ying returned to Duke Xie's Mansion, she originally thought that Xiao Chen would come to see her immediately, but he was nowhere to be seen for ten days.
If they don’t want to come, then don’t come. They will be separated anyway.
On this day, Xie Ying was going to ask Xie Jiaojiao to go out for a walk, but Xie Jiaojiao had already gone out with her maid and guards.
Mingzhu saw that the eldest lady was frowning and always finding something unsatisfactory here and there.
"Pearl..."
Mingzhu responded immediately, "Sister, I'm here."
Xie Ying looked at her, "Can His Royal Highness Prince Chen and I really be separated this time?"
"This - should be it."
Xie Ying felt like she was being scratched by a ghost. They were really going to separate, why was she feeling so sad?
She even hated herself a little. Why did she fall in love so deeply? It felt so uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
Mingzhu said with a stiff upper lip: "Sister, you are thinking about His Royal Highness Prince Chen."
Xie Ying: “…”
Of course she knows!
"But what should I do?"
Mingzhu pursed her lips, she didn't know how to answer. Since she heard what the eldest lady and Qing Chang'an said last time, she knew that the eldest lady went to the Imperial Observatory and entered Lord Rong's illusion to see everything from her past life. Mingzhu felt mixed emotions.
She could never have imagined that the eldest daughter could not bear children.
She couldn't accept it.
What’s more, it’s His Royal Highness Prince Chen?
Of course, she also saw the attitude of His Royal Highness Prince Chen, but if he doesn’t mind now, will he not mind in the future?
He is the dignified His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen. If he cannot have an heir, the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager will certainly urge His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen to take a concubine to continue his offspring!
If he were to take a concubine, it would go against the monogamy that the eldest lady pursued.
All in all, we are in a dilemma.
Mingzhu sighed, looked at Xie Ying and said, "If Miss is really reluctant, you might as well accept it first. After all, the emperor said that if we women feel that our marriage is unhappy, we can divorce."
"Divorce?" Xie Ying smiled. "Who do you think he is? He is the Prince of Chen. Who dares to divorce the Prince of Chen?"
Mingzhu pouted, "There is another way."
Xie Ying looked at Mingzhu. In fact, she knew that Mingzhu couldn't think of any good solution, but she still looked at Mingzhu, waiting for her to come up with that solution.
Mingzhu felt the pressure, but still said with gritted teeth: "The worst that can happen is that I will agree to His Royal Highness Prince Chen taking a concubine."
Xie Ying: “…”
Sure enough, it's not a good thing.
If he took a concubine, it would be very likely that, like her in her previous life, their relationship would end in vain!
"Why don't you go see the imperial physician or the doctor?" Mingzhu said again.
"I took medicine in my previous life and saw countless physicians and doctors, but it was all useless." She smiled bitterly for a moment. Those people said that there was nothing wrong with her body, it was just a problem with her fate with the child.
If it was Qing Chang'an's problem, then Mengchun would have given birth to three children!
So, it’s still her physical problem.
"elder sister……"
Mingzhu couldn't bear to see Xie Ying in such pain and wished she could suffer for him. Unfortunately, this kind of thing could not be replaced.
"I'm fine," Xie Ying paused and said, "I won't go see a doctor either."
After all, she hasn't even gotten married yet. If word gets out that she went to see a doctor for infertility treatment, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Duke's Mansion?
Xie Ying thought for a while and went to take a nap.
Mingzhu walked out of the yard, thinking that the young lady was in a bad mood, so she decided to buy a few bouquets of flowers and arrange them. Maybe the young lady's mood would be better then.
Thinking of this, she went to find Xie Zheng.
Xie Zhengdao: "I know that there are people who often pick flowers and sell them in several markets."
"Then please?"
"Sorry for bothering me. The eldest lady's business is my business." Xie Zheng said and went to the stable.
Mingzhu stood there and smiled. When she was about to go back to the yard, she saw the doorman coming over and said, "Miss Mingzhu."
"Miss Mingzhu, please stay. Someone is looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Mingzhu frowned, "Is it Luofeng?"
"It's him."
Oh, Luo Feng finally showed up. Mingzhu took big steps and walked outside. When she saw Luo Feng, she said, "Oh, what brings you here?"
I had been looking for her enthusiastically before, but what happened? She treated me like the Prince of Chen treated the eldest daughter, and didn't show up for more than ten days.
"what?"
Luo Feng was a little puzzled. Why did Mingzhu speak so sarcastically? He didn't quite understand. He just said, "Our Highness has been too busy these days to spare time. Thinking that he hadn't seen Miss Xie for a few days, he specially asked me to send a gift."
As he spoke, Luo Feng handed a bundle to Mingzhu.
After Mingzhu took it, she looked inside and found a wooden box. "Did His Royal Highness Prince Chen give it to you?"
"Yeah, exactly."
Mingzhu's brows relaxed a little, "Okay, then I will thank His Royal Highness Prince Chen for his kindness on behalf of my eldest daughter."
Luo Feng noticed that Mingzhu looked much better than before. Could it be that she blamed His Royal Highness Prince Chen for not showing up for so many days?
But hasn’t Miss Xie been trying to hook up with the prince?
The prince has deep love for Miss Xie. If he offends her, how long will the prince have to coax her?
