Xie Suxian looked at Xu Qingmo, smiled, and then took out a small box from his arms: "This is the incense I asked someone to find. It is said to have miraculous effects on sleep. If you don't sleep well on weekdays, Try this fragrance!”
Xu Qingmo looked at the small box in Xie Suxian's hand and shook his head: "His Royal Highness, you should keep such precious incense for yourself! It's not appropriate to give it to me!"
"There's nothing inappropriate!" Xie Suxian smiled and put the small box directly into Xu Qingmo's hand, "It's not a particularly precious thing, it just happens to be useful to you!"
Xu Qingmo still wanted to shirk the blame, but Mrs. Xu found that the prince was already a little unhappy. After all, the seventh prince was also present. If she kept rejecting the gifts from his highness, she would probably embarrass the prince in front of the seventh prince.
"Since His Highness the Crown Prince took so much trouble to find it, just keep it!" Mrs. Xu walked up to Xu Qingmo and pressed her hand without leaving a trace.
Xu Qingmo understood instantly. Although he was impatient in his heart, he still had a smile on his face: "Then thank you, Your Highness!"
Compared with Xie Suxian's aggressiveness, Xie Suyu seemed much gentler. He always adhered to the boundaries between men and women. Even if Xu Qingmo was standing in front of him, he didn't look much and just sat quietly aside.
It was Xie Suxian who originally asked Xu Qingmo to come out. He deliberately acted in order to reveal his friendship with Xu Qingmo so that Xie Suyu would retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Xie Suyu was so smart. Of course he knew what was going on in the prince's mind, but he had no intention of getting married to Ningyuan Houfu. The prince was in the East Palace. If he made friends with Ningyuan Houfu, the emperor would definitely think too much.
Marquis Yongchang's lesson has been profound, and Xie Suyu doesn't want to kill Zhongliang in the court because of his affairs.
However, Xie Suxian's arrogance is really disgusting: "By the way, I heard that a few days ago, Miss Xu severely beat the young master Lin Shaoyang of the Lin Mansion. I don't know, this Did the young master offend Miss Xu in some way?"
The Lin family is the mother's family of the late empress. Although the older generation still retreated to the court after the death of the late empress, there is only one minister of household affairs who has been temporarily suspended from office.
Xie Suxian's maternal wife was beaten up by Xu Qingmo. No matter how you look at it, it was enough to embarrass the prince.
Ning Yuanhou watched the two brothers go back and forth, feeling like a mirror in his heart, but he just watched without saying anything.
Xu Qingmo, who was dragged into the water, glanced at Marquis Ning Yuan who had nothing to do with him, snorted in his heart, and then said: "It's not like I hit him. His mouth is really talking nonsense, which makes me angry. Well, I tried a little harder and he fell down the stairs!"
No one sitting here knows exactly what it is for!
By saying this, Xu Qingmo was already giving face to Xie Suxian. He raised his head and glanced at Xu Qingmo, with a little more love in his eyes: "My cousin is young and ignorant. Miss Xu, please don't argue with him." !”
Xu Qingmo was disgusted by Xie Suxian's look, and subconsciously took a step back: "He is lying on the bed half dead, what do I have to argue with him?"
Xie Suxian suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he just smiled and said nothing more.
Both the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince came to the door, and dinner was approaching. Naturally, Marquis Ningyuan wanted to keep them for dinner. The Seventh Prince was too polite and refused to stay, but the Crown Prince agreed. So naturally, they all had to stay for dinner. .
It was an ordinary family banquet, but suddenly there were two more distinguished guests. Naturally, the kitchen had to make something else that could be put on the table. Xu Qingmo stayed with them in the front hall for a while, then found an excuse and ran away.
As soon as she slipped out of the front hall, the smile that Xu Qingmo had been holding disappeared in an instant. She gave Hua Ying the small box in her hand, with disgust on her face: "Throw it wherever you like, don't let me see it again." Here comes this thing!”
Hua Ying had no choice but to respond: "Young girl is so good, why are you so angry?"
Xu Qingmo's face dropped: "These people are coming to the door, can you not be annoyed?"
"Actually, His Royal Highness is very kind to the girl!" Qu Lian, who was standing aside, said cautiously, "He even went to find incense for the girl, so he is very considerate!"
Xu Qingmo's face was pale, and his eyebrows were full of ridicule: "He is not interested in me, he is interested in Ningyuan Houfu, and he is interested in the military power in my father's hands!"
Qu Lian didn't understand: "That girl was originally the legitimate daughter of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion. When a man marries a woman, she must be of the right family! Your Highness, if you don't look at the Ningyuan Hou Mansion behind us, what are you looking at?"
Hua Ying quickly took out a piece of cake from her arms and stuffed it directly into Qu Lian's mouth: "I won't be able to gag you even if I eat it!"
Xu Qingmo fell silent, his face covered with shadows, and even looked a little scary. Hua Ying tried to explain to Qu Lian: "Girl, Qu Lian is still young, she doesn't understand this..."
"Actually, she's right!" Xu Qingmo interrupted Hua Ying, "From the beginning to the end, he was interested in Ningyuan Houfu!"
Hua Ying suddenly felt the sadness in Xu Qingmo and was a little anxious: "Girl..."
But Xu Qingmo suddenly understood how stupid he was in his previous life. He actually believed Xie Suxian's lies, thinking that he really favored her, that he really felt sorry for her for losing her parents, and gave herself a chance to go to the battlefield. Chance.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, all he wanted was the military power of Ningyuan Houfu.
Xu Qingmo suddenly realized that back then, he had really thought that Xie Suxian liked him. Now that he thought about it carefully, he did indeed prefer himself. However, he did not prefer Xu Qingmo, but the one who belonged to Ningyuan Houfu. power.
After a long time, Xu Qingmo suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned around suddenly and blocked Hua Ying and Qu Lian behind her: "Who?"
"It's me!" Xie Suyu walked out slowly, "Why is Miss Xu so defensive in her own mansion?"
Seeing that it was Xie Su Yu, Xu Qingmo felt relieved and realized that his reaction just now was a bit extreme: "I was just thinking about something, but I didn't expect that His Highness the Seventh Prince would come to the backyard!"
"I heard that your brother got a copybook. I was about to take a look when he was called away by a boy in the middle of the road. As I walked along, I saw Miss Xu standing here, so I came over to take a look!" Xie Suyu looked at Xu Qingmo , said softly.
Xu Qingmo paused, and then said: "My brother's yard is on the other side. Your Highness just needs to walk in the opposite direction!"
"I know!" Xie Suyu nodded, "It's just that I want to ask you something!"
