"Your Highness may have forgotten that Murong Ying is a man."
"How could I like him?"
Yan Lan's face was a little dark, and he stared at Jiang Xu with a serious look. For a moment, he wanted to pry open Jiang Xu's head to see what was inside.
As a normal person, even if he notices that he is jealous, he should think in the direction of liking her, right?
Who would think about liking someone of the same sex?
Hearing Yan Lan's words, Jiang Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently crossed out Murong Ying's thoughts.
Seeing that Jiang Xu didn't speak, Yan Lan continued to look at Jiang Xu and asked, "How could His Highness think that I like Murong Ying?"
Yanlan was puzzled and didn't understand why Jiang Xu would think this way.
Jiang Xu heard this and said without changing his expression: "Didn't you say before that you like men?"
"Just now you didn't ask me why I went to see Murong Ying, but you were only worried about his reputation. What else is it if you don't like him?"
The more Jiang Xu said, the more justified he felt, and he became more confident, raising his eyes and looking straight at Yan Lan.
Yanlan:?
Like men?
Did he say this?
After Yan Lan was silent for a long time, he suddenly remembered that he had talked nonsense to Jiang Xu before, and seemed to have said something like this.
Moreover, he was not only worried about Murong Ying's reputation, he was obviously afraid that she would go to Murong Ying's room in the middle of the night and become interested in her.
"Your Highness is overthinking. I don't like Murong Ying."
Hearing this, Jiang Xu raised his chin and looked at Yan Lan intently, "Really?"
Yan Lan nodded, and then said, "It's not that I'm worried about his reputation, but that I'm afraid that others will know and gossip about His Highness."
Jiang Xu's eyes moved, "So you were worried about me."
Jiang Xu's gaze was so intense that Yan Lan couldn't bear it. He lowered his eyes and spoke again, "Also, what I said before about liking men..."
"Your Highness, please see Rong Yao."
Before Yan Lan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.
Hearing this, Jiang Xu immediately raised his eyes and looked out the door, "Let her in."
Soon, Jiang Xu's personal guard Rong Yao walked in, "Your Highness, I just received the letter from Fei Ge. The three princesses and others have arrived at the inn outside the imperial city. They will arrive at the imperial city in half an hour. Are you going to go out to greet me?"
When Jiang Xu heard this, he stood up immediately, "Of course I want to go."
After getting up, Jiang Xu looked at Yan Lan, "I want to go out of the city to pick up the emperor's sister, General Yan...?"
Yan Lan also stood up and said, "I will go with your highness."
**
Jiang Xu was not the only one who received the news of Jiang Meng's return to the city, but others also received it.
After not seeing his daughter for a long time, Xu Guijun missed her so much that he begged the empress and went to the city gate to greet her in person.
At the gate of the city, they met Jiang Xu and Yan Lan, who had come to pick up Jiang Meng.
Seeing Xu Guijun, Jiang Xu and Yan Lan immediately stepped forward to salute.
Xu Guijun waved his hand, telling the two of them not to be polite.
After waving his hands, Xu Guijun stared at Yan Lan for a long time, his eyes filled with trance.
Seeing that Xu Guijun kept looking at Yan Lan, Jiang Xu also stared at Xu Guijun for a long time.
Why did she feel that the way Xu Guijun looked at Yan Lan was very strange, very much like the way he looked at someone he liked.
This idea shocked Jiang Xu.
Look at Xu Guijun and then at Yan Lan.
When he discovered that Yan Lan was looking back at Xu Guijun with a gentle expression, Jiang Xu felt that he had discovered something terrible.
Seeing the two of them staring at each other with no intention of looking back for a long time, Jiang Xu coughed lightly and said, "Father, are you here to pick up Mengmeng too?"
As soon as Jiang Xu spoke, Xu Guijun and Yan Lan came to their senses.
