Xu Qingmo smiled but said nothing.
She had heard footsteps not far away, and when they left her yard, she realized that they were being followed.
The people following them walked very lightly, but they were all stepping on the ground, so most of them were women.
Halfway through, Xu Qingmo got a little bored, so he stopped and said, "Your Highness, someone seems to want to talk to you!"
Xie Suxian was a little strange: "What?"
Xu Qingmo turned around, looked at a sycamore tree not far away and said, "How long are you going to follow us?"
There was still no sound. Xu Qingmo frowned slightly and kicked a stone with her foot. She used some strength and the stone was embedded directly into the trunk of the tree.
"Ah!" screamed, and then someone came out from behind the tree.
When Xu Qingmo saw that it was Yan Junuo, he was not surprised at all. He just said lightly: "Why have you been following us?"
"The yard is so big, why do you mean I'm following you all the time!" Yan Junuo was dissatisfied, "I just happened to come here!"
"Yes, yes, you happened to be here, and you happened to be hiding behind a tree!" Xu Qingmo couldn't control himself and rolled his eyes towards the sky.
Yan Junuo's face turned red when he was exposed: "Your Highness, I, I really happened to..."
Xie Suxian looked at Xu Qingmo, who was rolling his eyes, and then at Yan Junuo, who was blushing and looking shy. He didn't know if he had seen too many girls with blushing faces, but he actually felt that Xu Qingmo, who was rolling his eyes, especially funny and cute.
However, the girl's face is already red, and she has to give her a step down. That is not what a gentleman would do: "The courtyard of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion is quite big, and you are not the master. You took the wrong road like me. It happens all the time too!”
His Royal Highness Prince Yan Junuo had already stepped down. Xu Qingmo naturally would not hold on and just said: "Why don't cousin go to the banquet and why are you hanging around here?"
"Today is your day, why don't you go to the banquet?" Yan Junuo asked.
Xu Qingmo pouted: "None of your business!"
"You!" Yan Junuo's face turned red instantly, "Xu Qingmo, what are you talking about as a girl? Why are you so vulgar!"
"I'm vulgar. If you don't want to listen, don't listen!" Xu Qingmo still looked nonchalant.
Yan Junuo was a little angry and pointed at Xu Qingmo for a long time, but finally turned his attention to Xie Suxian: "His Royal Highness is here, you must understand some rules!"
Xu Qingmo glanced at Xie Suxian and snorted: "Your Highness, I think this Miss Yan is here for you, so I won't bother you. I'm leaving first!"
Before Xie Suxian could say anything, Xu Qingmo had already walked away quickly. He happened to meet Hua Ying who had been waiting here for a long time, and disappeared within a few steps.
Xie Suxian looked at Xu Qingmo who suddenly disappeared. He was stunned for a moment, and then laughed softly.
"Your Highness!" Yan Junuo walked to Xie Suxian and called softly.
Xie Suxian turned back to look at Yan Junuo. There was a moment of boredom in his eyes, but the next moment, his eyes instantly returned to their original appearance, as gentle as jade: "Miss Yan!"
"Your Highness, are you going to the banquet hall?" Yan Junuo walked to Xie Suxian and said softly.
"Yeah, I took the wrong path and went to the backyard, and now I'm going back to the banquet room!" Xie Suxian smiled.
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince know how to go?" Yan Junuo's face turned slightly red. "If His Highness doesn't know how to go, I can lead the way for His Highness!"
"No need, I know how to get there!" Xie Suxian said lightly, "Girl, it would be best if you go to the living room earlier. Don't keep people waiting!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Yan Junuo wanted to say something else, but Xie Suxian had already left without a trace.
Yan Junuo was annoyed, but he didn't bother anymore. He was still a little secretly happy: "His Royal Highness actually recognizes me!"
After Xu Qingmo got rid of Xie Suxian, she left very quickly. She originally wanted the two of them to meet, so she waited by the pond just to wait for the prince to appear, and then follow the route to make sure that the two of them met. Yan Junuo found out on the way up.
Hua Ying had been waiting there early, just to show up at a certain time so that he could take her away and leave Yan Junuo and Xie Suxian alone time together.
In his previous life, Yan Junuo had a crush on Xie Suxian. For him, he punished Xu Qingmo several times. Later, in order to be able to sit in the position of Crown Princess, he and others put an unnecessary letter on Mrs. Xu's bedside.
This made his father unwilling to believe Mrs. Xu when he died, so that Mrs. Xu finally died in the mourning hall in despair.
Xu Qingmo walked forward slowly, his eyes cold and even a little bit resentful.
"Girl, why did you let Miss Yan and His Highness the Crown Prince meet?" Hua Ying was confused, "What if His Highness the Crown Prince falls in love with Miss Yan..."
"If this can be done, that would be great!" Xu Qingmo lowered his eyes slightly.
Hua Ying didn't know what Xu Qingmo was thinking, but she had never gotten to the bottom of it, so she didn't continue to ask.
Just when the master and the servant were focused on walking forward, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Miss Xu!"
Xu Qingmo's raised steps stopped abruptly. She turned around slowly and found the seventh prince standing there.
"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!" Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and saluted.
"Miss Xu!" Xie Suyu walked to Xu Qingmo's side, "Today is your haircut gift, but I haven't had the chance to see you. I guess you are very busy!"
Xu Qingmo could only smile: "Why isn't His Highness in the front hall!"
"I came here especially for you!" Xie Suyu looked at Xu Qingmo and said softly, "A few days ago, did the girl give someone a bunch of candied haws?"
Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness..."
Xie Suyu took out a small candied haws carved with carnelian from his arms: "He asked me to return this to you. He said that his current appearance was not suitable for him to come and give gifts, so he asked me to hand it over!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the small candied haws in Xie Suyu's hand and was a little stunned. After a long time, he said: "It's just a bunch of candied haws, there's no need to return it!"
"He made it himself, be careful, Miss Xu, just keep it!" Xie Suyu put the small candied haws into Xu Qingmo's hand, "It's just a gift, you two are family friends, it should be!"
Xu Qingmo thought for a while and accepted the candied haws: "What a coward! He didn't even dare to come to the door! He and my brother are classmates. According to seniority, I should call him brother, but I don't want to, even my hairpin No courtesy!"
Xie Suyu smiled: "He has to take it easy now!"
