Chapter 62 "Xie Qinghuan, you are so good at pretending! You are not usually like this!"
Everything is ready, just waiting to catch the turtle in the jar.
The agreed day arrived.
Xie Qinghuan got up from bed early in the morning.
Chu Hanxiao had been guarding the door since the night before.
He was afraid that Xie Qinghuan would not take him with her...
really.
After dressing up carefully, Xie Qinghuan went out. When she saw Chu Hanxiao standing outside the door, she was stunned for a moment.
Squinting and smiling:
"It's so early...your injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Chu Hanxiao came back to his senses from his astonishment.
just thought of……
Such a beautiful person belongs to him.
Pride and complacency arise spontaneously.
But considering that she was dressed so brightly, she was going to a date with someone else...
The corners of his mouth, which had unconsciously curled up, slowly fell, and his brows lowered.
The fist is hard.
He turned sideways indifferently.
Force yourself not to look at her.
Seeing this, Xie Qinghuan dismissed the servants and came over to coax him, lifting her skirt.
"Chu Hanxiao, it's not that I don't want to take you with me, I'm just afraid that you'll be recognized."
Chu Hanxiao guessed her concerns, but...
[I left the palace when I was five years old. No one recognizes me. Moreover... How can I feel at ease if I can't see you? ]
Seeing him say this, Xie Qinghuan hesitated.
Still took him with me.
A smile can make people addicted.
"Then, let's go!"
No matter how unhappy Chu Hanxiao was, his boredom was washed away when he saw her smiling so brightly.
He let her lead him as if he had lost his soul.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Residence, the carriage headed straight to the Night King's Palace.
In order to make this scene more exciting, Xie Qinghuan also brought Yumei along.
He ordered Yuzhu to keep an eye on her and not allow her to send any messages or run away.
Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at the Night King's Mansion, Yumei saw the person sitting in the main seat and turned around to go out to report the news.
However, he was held tightly by Yuzhu.
She could only beg in fear...
Prince Yong, please don’t come!
However, things did not go as planned...
After some chatting and laughing, the show started.
The concierge came to report.
"My Lord, Prince Yong is coming, we can't stop him..."
Before he could finish his words, the man was kicked into the yard.
Chu Yongji's angry voice came in:
"Xie Qinghuan, you are so bold! You have an arranged marriage with me by my father, and yet you dare to flirt with my brother..."
Chu Zhenye glanced at Xie Qinghuan, smiled slightly and lowered his brows.
Xie Qinghuan also stood up proudly and looked back at him.
"What did Prince Yong say? I don't understand."
"Are you still pretending? You dressed up and showed up at the Night King's Mansion. I can punish you for this very reason!"
"How dare you! I am here! Who do you want to punish?"
An old but powerful roar startled Chu Yongji so much that he fell to his knees!
"Grandmother...Grandmother, why are you here..."
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his heart trembled.
Since childhood, the Imperial Grandmother disliked him and his sister...
It is said that the Empress Dowager held Chu Zhenye and Chu Yanjing in her arms when they were born.
Only him and the emperor sister...
The Empress Dowager didn't even glance at it.
How come I met the Empress Dowager here today?
There is no news that the Queen Mother has left the palace...
"You still dare to ask? Have you forgotten that today is your aunt's birthday!
I have so many grandchildren, but none of them can compare to Qing Huan!"
Aunt’s birthday?
She has been married far away for so many years!
Who will remember!
It is even more impossible for Xie Qinghuan to remember...
and many more!
No wonder the old lady secretly left the palace without telling her father!
It must be her!
She deliberately lured him here and designed him to offend the Empress Dowager!
Thinking of this, he looked at the complacent Xie Qinghuan with hatred.
Clenched his fists.
"It's you! You vicious woman, you are plotting against me!"
As he said this, he was about to grab Xie Qinghuan's hand.
Chu Hanxiao stepped forward and looked down at him with a cold, condescending gaze, freezing him in place.
He was speechless, looking at the lucky Chu Hanxiao, and thought of the Crown Prince's Jade Order...
I dare not say more.
The old queen stood up tremblingly with the help of Chu Zhenye.
Walk towards Chu Yongji who is kneeling on the ground.
"You unworthy descendant! How dare you speak to my Qing Huan like this!"
Seeing this, Xie Qinghuan took two steps back and held the old lady's other arm.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was very considerate.
"Grandmother, please don't be angry. You might get sick from anger."
The sweet and gentle voice filled the old queen mother with joy.
She patted Xie Qinghuan's hand lovingly and laughed:
"Don't be afraid, Qinghuan. As long as I am alive, no one can bully you!"
This is my sister’s only granddaughter!
How can we let her be bullied by that bad boy!
When Chu Yongji heard this, his hands began to tremble.
He quickly begged for mercy:
"Grandmother, please calm down... Grandson, how dare you bully her? It's all her fault..."
The old queen glared at him when she heard this.
"Although I live in the deep palace, I have heard that... you took advantage of your love and treated her very badly!"
She snorted and held Xie Qinghuan's hand tightly.
"Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts!
I will tell you who can be the crown prince and who can marry Qing Huan...
Your father alone has no say in this matter! ! "
Chu Yongji was shocked when he heard this and kowtowed repeatedly.
"My grandson dare not, my grandson dare not!"
The old lady's words almost cut off all his escape routes!
If this word gets out, I'm afraid it won't just be my father;
Even his grandfather would be disappointed in him...
Who would have thought that the old lady would grab Xie Qinghuan and Chu Zhenye's hands on the left and right.
"I've been out for half a day, and I see Zhenye seems to be in much better shape...
Qinghuan, listen to the Empress Dowager and try to get along with Zhenye!
We don't want a man who treats you badly!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Qinghuan lowered his eyes, looking unwilling.
"Grandma..."
The look of wanting to say something but stopping is heartbreaking.
"Tell me, what's so good about him that makes you miss him so much!"
How could Xie Qinghuan be reluctant to leave?
She knew that if the emperor arranged a marriage, even the empress dowager had no right to reject it.
She could only endure it for now and pretend to be a lovesick woman who was hurt!
Find an opportunity to let the emperor personally cancel their engagement!
"Grandmother is right. Qinghuan has made note of it..."
Xie Qinghuan's look made Chu Yongji so angry that his teeth itched.
"Xie Qinghuan, you are such a good pretender! You are not usually like this!"
"Shut up! It seems that my words are useless! Go back to the palace and ask your father to discipline you personally!"
The old queen glared at him hard.
He turned back and comforted Xie Qinghuan.
"Qinghuan, don't cry, the Empress Dowager will take care of him for you!
You stay here, and watch this show for me with Zhenye..."
He stroked the soft flesh on her face and teased her like he was a child.
"Oh my, look at this little pouting mouth, it could even wear a bridle!"
Finally, Xie Qinghuan burst into tears.
The old queen then stroked her hair and said softly:
"Qinghuan took the trouble to send someone to ask for Huayang's letter and the children's portraits..."
Thinking of her daughter whom she hadn't seen for more than 20 years, the old queen's eyes became moist.
"This daughter is more considerate than those brats..."
"Grandmother! You just told me not to cry!"
Xie Qinghuan is acting coquettishly.
The old queen wiped her tears and nodded.
"Yes, yes... Grandma, don't cry! Just watch the show, and I'll take care of that brat for you!"
After saying this, he returned to the palace with Chu Yongji, who looked indignant...
