When Xiangye returned to the Prince's Mansion, she met the Prince as soon as she entered through the back door. Xiangye was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, stay safe!"
"Where have you been?" Xie Suxian looked at Xiangye and frowned slightly.
Xiangye lowered her head, her slightly drooped eyes moved rapidly, and finally she decided to say truthfully: "The Crown Princess ordered me to go to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion!"
When Xie Suxian heard the words Ningyuan Houfu, he paused and then said, "What are you doing there?"
"The Crown Princess and the girl from the Xu family are cousins after all. They have been in love since they were young. However, over the years, it has gradually faded away. Now the Xu family only has a daughter. The Crown Princess feels sorry for her. , so I asked my slave to bring some fruits and deliver them to my door!" Xiangye said softly.
"Did she accept it?" Xie Suxian's voice rose slightly.
Since arriving at the prince's house, Xiangye rarely saw the emotional Xie Suxian, so after hearing the change in his voice, she couldn't help but look up. As expected, the prince's eyes were full of Surprised, Xiangye was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said: "Take it!"
At that moment, Xie Suxian seemed to see hope, and the light in her eyes lit up: "Did you see her accept it with your own eyes?"
Xiangye nodded: "Yes, Miss Xu accepted it! I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Then what's in your hand?" Xie Suxian's eyes fell on the bundle in Xiangye's arms.
"Miss Xu felt that the clothes on the slave were too worn out, so she gave the slave a new pair of clothes. What is in this bundle are the slave's original old clothes!" Xiangye lowered her head and said softly.
The guard beside Xie Suxian lowered his head and took away the bundle in Xiangye's hand, turned it over, and then nodded to the prince.
Xie Suxian was silent for a while, and then asked his men to return the things in their hands to Xiangye: "Don't tell anyone that you saw me here!"
"Yes!" Xiangye accepted the baggage and lowered her head in response.
After Xie Suxian left, Xiangye stood up. Looking at Xie Suxian's leaving figure, he suddenly understood why Zhu Han was so hostile when facing Xu Qingmo.
The prince rarely talked to maids like them when he was in the house on weekdays, but today, just because she went to Ningyuan Hou's house, she interrogated him so carefully.
When Xiangye returned to the yard, she told Yan Junuo exactly what Xu Qingmo said. She immediately understood what Xu Qingmo meant, but it was a pity that she never noticed that Xiangye had changed into new clothes from beginning to end.
While Xiangye was disappointed, she did not tell Yan Junuo that she had met the prince.
However, the Prince's Mansion is so big, others may not know that the Prince has seen Xiangye, but Zhu Han, who pays attention to the Prince all the time, naturally knows that when the Prince was in the mansion today, he unexpectedly saw a maid.
"You mean, the prince saw fragrant leaves in the backyard today?" Zhu Han, who was sitting in front of the mirror and dressing up after bathing, was very surprised when he heard the news.
Before marrying into the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Han always thought that the Prince and Yan Junuo were in love. However, after arriving at the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Han discovered that Xie Suxian treated Yan Junuo more like a stranger.
It was not until later that Zhu Han inquired many times that he found out that the person the prince wanted to marry was Xu Qingmo, not the current princess. The prince had resentment towards Yan Junuo. After all, if it weren't for Yan Junuo Because of this, the prince may not be able to marry Xu Qingmo.
Zhu Han knew very well how important Xu Qingmo was to Xie Suxian, so Zhu Han did not take Yan Junuo seriously. A person who caused him to lose what he wanted in his heart could not become a threat to her.
"When Xiangye came back, she seemed to have changed her clothes!" The maid said softly, "Look at the style, it looks like the new clothes made by Ningyuan Marquis Mansion this year!"
As soon as Ningyuan Houfu was mentioned, Zhu Han suddenly raised his eyes: "Are you sure?"
"Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is the first to make new clothes every year. The winter clothes made this year are still made of the best cotton, and the patterns are also the latest. Look at the colors, they probably belong to the winter clothes of the big girl in the courtyard!" The maid said softly.
"The Crown Princess is very shabby. This year, the palace has made winter clothes. They are just fancy and don't make it convenient for us to work! Our clothes are made by the Princess herself. They are made in the Crown Princess's yard. Girl, you won’t have this blessing!” The maid couldn’t help laughing.
But Zhu Han was a little panicked. Although the relationship between the Yan family and Ningyuan Houfu is not as good as before, Yan Junuo is Xu Qingmo's nominal cousin after all. After all, there is still some connection between him!
As long as Yan Junuo is smarter, it will not be difficult for her to get the prince's favor as long as she relies on Xu Qingmo's influence. If she continues to strive for success and gives birth to a legitimate son for the prince, then Zhu Han will really be able to stand up for herself. More difficult than ever.
Zhu Han panicked a little. She got up and walked back and forth in the room, and finally said: "Send someone to find out what she did today."
The maid responded, then turned and left.
Zhu Han was not suspicious at first, but she would become very cautious when dealing with the prince. All along, Yan Junuo only valued the power in the house and had no affection for the prince.
It is precisely because of this that she can constantly steal the prince's favor under her nose, and all he does is just to give birth to a child earlier. The mother is more valuable than the child. , the prince must take another look at him even for the sake of this child.
But now, Yan Junuo, who had been silent, seemed to suddenly have a brain. If she reacted and took advantage of her relationship with Xu Qingmo, she would definitely lose.
Every time she thought of this, Zhu Han felt a sudden pain in her heart. She couldn't figure out why such a vulgar and rude woman as Xu Qingmo could be so obsessed with Xie Suxian, even at night. I will always think of her!
Zhu Han had already begun to panic, but Yan Junuo, after meeting Xu Qingmo, became more and more steady. The whole courtyard was like an iron wall. No matter what Zhu Han's people did, they were unable to find out any information.
Because he didn't know what others were going to do, Zhu Han was so anxious that he couldn't sleep or eat well. Within a few days, he became so thin that he lost his appearance, and even his face and eyes looked vaguely weak.
Zhu Han's people put all the reasons for Zhu Han's thinness on Yan Junuo's head.
