Chapter 929 Will you come tonight?

Xie Yunce hit Xie Jiaojiao on the head with his hand, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xie Jiaojiao: “…”

"These are the gifts we brought back from various counties. When the time comes, we will give them to our friends in the capital."

A family meeting is always warm.

Prince Chen's Palace.

When Xiao Chen thought about the return of Duke Xie and his wife, he was happy but also a little nervous. Just like Luo Feng said, an ugly son-in-law must always meet his father-in-law.

Anyway, he felt embarrassed just thinking about it.

"Prince, aren't you going to the Duke's Mansion today? Duke Xie and his wife have returned to Beijing. As the future son-in-law, shouldn't you go and say hello to them?" Luo Feng stunned Xiao Chen as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Prince, don't look at me like that. I'm scared." Luo Feng said with a smile.

Xiao Chen said: "I see you are not afraid at all, do you not want the salary from Prince Chen's Mansion?"

"No, absolutely not!"

He is still counting on this salary, then some praise, and then marrying a wife and having a baby.

As he said this, Luo Feng quickly stepped back, "Anyway, I have informed the butler that the gift has been prepared for you, Your Majesty. It is up to you to decide whether to go or not."

Xiao Chen: “…”

Seeing Luo Feng was about to walk away, Xiao Chen said, "Wait."

"Your Majesty."

Luo Feng instantly returned to his original position, looking serious, a qualified and very useful guard, "Relax, you are His Royal Highness Prince Chen, second only to the king and above everyone else in Cang Yun Nation, what are you afraid of? When they see you, they might even kneel to greet you, so you better be quick and don't kneel."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Although Luo Feng was a chatterbox, he was indeed good at handling things!

Xiao Chen changed into a decent set of clothes and spent a long time choosing in the storeroom, but he couldn't find anything more suitable than the thousand-year-old ginseng that the housekeeper had picked out for him.

His warehouse is so boring, full of Taoist and Buddhist things!

When Xiao Chen arrived at Duke Xie's mansion, he found that it was crowded with people. It seemed that all the officials, big and small, from the Zhou Mansion, the Wei Mansion, and the Lin Mansion had come.

Luo Feng said: "Duke Xie is really popular."

"Shall we go in now?"

"Since we are here, we must go in. Besides, I saw Lady Wen Qingning also went in. When the time comes, she will definitely speak for you, Your Highness."

Xiao Chen thought it made sense.

He even felt that he shouldn't have come today, and should have come when there were not so many people.

However, it was too late to turn back, as Xie Yunce had already come to greet him.

"Your Highness Prince Chen." Xie Yunchu was no more than fourteen years old, but his every move was very stylish.

Xiao Chen nodded, "Long time no see, Yun Ce."

Xie Yunce smiled and pretended to invite him into the Duke's Mansion.

Luo Feng took the gift prepared by the butler and handed it to the butler when entering the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Xiao Chen entered, Duke Xie's mansion and many ministers came to pay their respects.

Xiao Chen stopped Xie Yanheng and Ou Yurong and said to everyone, "No need to be polite today."

Although Yao'er wants to abolish the ritual of the emperor and his subjects kneeling, the policy is not yet completely stable and these rituals have not been officially abolished.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone still knelt and then stood up.

Only Xie Yanheng and Ou Yurong could not kneel down.

The two looked at Xiao Chen, who seemed to be a lot taller than when they first met him. They never dreamed that so many things had happened during the time they were away.

Ah Ying not only canceled her engagement with Qing Chang'an, but also set a wedding date with Xiao Chen after the beginning of spring...

Of course, when they were visiting the people to spread the news, they also heard about some of the things happening in the capital, but only after hearing what Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Ying said in person did they find it so outrageous.

Aying is so brave, not only did she cancel Qing Changan's engagement, she also dared to postpone the wedding date of His Royal Highness Prince Chen.

Qingning smiled and said, "Well, we won't bother you anymore. I'm also very happy to hear that you guys are back."

Ou Yurong looked at Qingning and said with a smile: "I knew you were capable. Now you are an official."

"You are quite capable, so why don't you give it a try and become a female teacher? You will definitely go down in history in the future!" Qingning said half-jokingly.

Ou Yurong was stunned. She had never thought about it this way.

Xiao Chen said: "Aunt Qingning is right. The emperor has vigorously opened schools. After passing the assessment of the chief priest, you can indeed teach and educate people."

"The sky in the capital city has indeed changed the most," said Ou Yurong.

In each county, there are few official schools and clan schools are not open, so it is impossible to have female teachers.

After a brief greeting, Qingning, Zhou Yuqi, Wei Shuying and others left.

Xiao Chen also felt a little uncomfortable here.

Xie Ying was secretly happy. Usually when he came to Duke Xie's mansion, he felt as comfortable as returning to his own home. Why did he feel like a scared fool now?

Just as he was thinking about it, Xie Yanheng asked Xiao Chen some questions, and then Xie Yunchu suggested playing chess or something, and Xiao Chen was no longer so embarrassed.

It was not until half an hour later that Xiao Chen had dinner with Duke Xie at his mansion and then said goodbye.

Ou Yurong said: "Aying, please see His Royal Highness Prince Chen off."

"Yes, mother."

After thanking Yingfu, he looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen clasped his fists towards the two of them, then looked at Xie Yunchu and his siblings, "Goodbye," and turned and left.

Xie Ying followed him out of the main hall.

Xie Ying quietly tried to hold Xiao Chen's hand, but Xiao Chen hurriedly avoided her and even quickened his pace.

This action really made Xie Ying very happy.

He wasn't like this before.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Xie Ying couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her. He naturally knew what she was laughing at. In fact, she had just deliberately held his hand. What a little rascal!

Xie Ying looked at his deliberately stern face and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, why are you unhappy today?"

"I'm very happy." Xiao Chen said.

"My Lord, the Lady is back. It's a good day after the beginning of spring. You have no excuse or reason to refuse."

"I won't refuse. I am determined to marry you."

Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Seeing her bright and charming appearance, she was no longer shy about talking to him about these things. He liked Aying like this.

"Okay, wait till I marry you."

"So Brother Chen doesn't want to hold hands anymore?"

Xiao Chen said coldly, "No."

Duke Xie and his wife are back now. If he behaves inappropriately again, it might affect his image in their minds.

Xie Ying approached Xiao Chen and smiled, "Come closer to my ear."

Xiao Chen had no choice but to do as he was told.

Xie Ying whispered in his ear, "Will you come tonight?"

Xiao Chen: “…”

"Ok?"

Xiao Chen pursed his lips and shook his head slightly. He didn't know why, but ever since he knew that Duke Xie and his wife had returned, he felt that he could no longer do as he pleased as before.

Xie Ying smiled even more happily, "Oh, I see." But why did he still feel a little bit disappointed?
