"The young prince is from the Xie Mansion."
The guard came in to report.
Lu Jiuchen showed a playful smile: "What a coincidence? Where are King Xuan and Princess Xuan, have they gone down the mountain?"
The guard said: "Back to the young prince, after Prince Xuan and his wife came down the mountain, they happened to meet Miss Xie at the door."
When Lu Jiuchen heard this, he became more interested and couldn't wait to go out: "Let's go and watch the fun!"
The guard from behind held his forehead: "Little prince, can we keep a low profile while watching the excitement?"
At this moment, in front of Zhuangzi's door, Luo Ran was stunned when he saw Xie Ying sitting on the roadside.
When Xie Ying saw the two people approaching, she quickly helped the maid beside her to get up. When she got up, her body swayed slightly and she almost fell over. It seemed that she had to spend a lot of effort to stand steady.
The apricot-yellow dress looked fresh and lively under the early morning sunlight. Coupled with her fragile appearance at the moment, it simply hurt people's hearts.
Luo Ran instinctively looked at the man next to him, but saw that he didn't move. Instead, he looked at himself and asked, "What's wrong? But you didn't get a good rest this morning. Do you have a headache?"
Luo Ran raised his hand to touch his forehead and nodded: "Yes, a little."
Fu Jinan's arm that had been on her lower back tightened again, and he asked softly, "Do you want me to carry you back?"
As he spoke, he turned around.
Luo Ran hurriedly grabbed him: There was someone else next to him.
Xie Ying is fifteen years old this year and just got haircut at the beginning of the year. Although her appearance was not open, she was still pretty and pleasant. Seeing the two people being intimate in front of her without any hesitation, she immediately blushed with embarrassment. She lowered her head and forced her knees to bend slightly. She saluted and said, "My lord, please see His Highness King Xuan. Princess Xuan, the prince and princess are a thousand years old.”
Luo Ran stretched out his hand and pretended to give it a hand: "Thank you, Miss. Please forgive me. It's just..."
He glanced at the surroundings and the sun that had just risen: "It's so early in the morning, why is Miss Xie here? Are you alone?"
Xie Ying glanced at Fu Jinan and saw that Fu Jinan was silent. Then she stood up straight, smiled slightly, and said with an attitude of not being ignored: "In reply to the princess, I am here alone. My grandfather will be born next month, and I will take my place for him." I asked for a string of Buddhist beads at Fahua Temple. It is said that if you put them on the top of the mountain and bathe in the sun for twenty-one days, they will bless the wearer's health, so I..."
Luo Ran blinked his eyes and said sincerely: "Miss Xie is so filial."
Xie Ying lowered her head as if she was shy: "This is what a junior should do, but it is a bit harder. As long as it can keep my grandfather healthy, I am willing to do anything."
"Then don't disturb Miss Xie from fulfilling your filial piety!"
Fu Jin'an, who had been silent until now, suddenly said, holding Luo Ran in his arms and turning around: "Okay, you've been tired all morning, go back quickly."
Xie Ying seemed not to have expected Fu Jinan's attitude. She was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. She unconsciously called out: "Cousin..."
"cousin?!"
"Did Shen Yuzhi come with you too?"
Lu Jiuchen strode over and looked at Luo Ran following Xie Ying's words.
Luo Ran shook his head and smiled: "The young prince heard wrongly. It was not me who called you, but Miss Xie."
Looking back at Xie Ying.
Xie Ying's master and servant stood alone not far away.
At this time, a nun who had just gone to pick up things from the carriage came back. She hurriedly saluted Fu Jinan and Lu Jiuchen and then looked at Luo Ran: "I'm sorry for disturbing the princess, please don't blame me."
His attitude is humble and respectful, so that no one can find anything wrong.
Luo Ran nodded slightly but said nothing.
The nun looked at Lu Jiuchen again and said, "I heard that this is the young prince's village. I boldly asked the young prince if he could let us girl go in and rest for a while. The servant has already gone back to ask for the doctor. It must be troublesome." Your Majesty won't be here for long, we just want a place to rest."
Lu Jiuchen glanced at Fu Jin'an, smiled and turned sideways, making a gesture of asking: "It's a small thing, it's a small thing, thank you, Miss."
The auspicious phoenix eyes that are as bright as stars are slightly raised, and they are indescribably graceful.
Even Luo Ran couldn't help but glance at it, let alone Xie Ying, who was not yet married, and said her thanks with a blushing face.
Luo Ran couldn't figure out for a moment whether Xie Ying was here for Fu Jin'an or Lu Jiuchen.
A group of people entered Zhuangzi.
Fu Jinan walked in front with Luo Ran. He would patiently tell her about the novel scenery on the road, as if he was the master of this village.
Lu Jiuchen was one step behind, and behind him was Xie Ying, who was being supported by the maid and grandma.
Lu Jiuchen glanced at the two people in front of him, deliberately took a step slowly, and looked down at Xie Ying's feet.
Xie Ying blushed and gently stroked her dress, covering her small embroidered shoes.
Lu Jiuchen showed a wicked smile on his lips and said, "Miss Xie is really lucky. I only got this Zhuangzi two days ago. If you had sprained your foot a few days ago, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help you."
Xie Ying's face turned pale.
The nanny on the side smiled and said: "Yes, we girls are lucky this time. We met young Prince Qing, Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan. When we get back, I will report to the master and I will definitely come to thank you."
Lu Jiuchen waved his hand nonchalantly: "I can just say thank you. I don't care about that little bit of courtesy."
Mammy still had a smile on her face: "Yes, they say that the young prince is a kind and generous man, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today."
Lu Jiuchen curled his lips and said, "Stop wearing a high hat on me. I won't do that."
Grandma was a little embarrassed and seemed about to say something. Xie Ying stopped her and apologized to Lu Jiuchen: "My family is not sensible, please don't blame me, young prince."
Lu Jiuchen said nothing.
Xie Ying was taken to a guest house.
Originally, Fu Jinan asked Luo Ran to go back and rest, but there was no other hostess in this village. It was unreasonable to leave Xie Ying there alone, so he sat with her for a while.
When Fu Jin'an saw that she wasn't leaving, he wasn't leaving either, so he sat in the pavilion outside the guest courtyard drinking tea, with Lu Jiuchen by his side.
Following the open door, the people in the room could vaguely see a corner of the pavilion. Luo Ran glanced at it and then looked away. He turned to look at Xie Ying and asked with concern: "Does your foot hurt a lot? Do you want to let it go first?" Someone waits for you to lie down?"
Xie Ying hurriedly waved her hands: "It's okay, it's much better just sitting like this."
Luo Ran nodded, and the two looked at each other in silence for a moment.
After a moment, Xie Ying pushed away the grandmother and maid beside her.
When Luo Ran saw this, he also took another green look.
Youqing turned around and went out.
Luo Ran looked at Xie Ying, who had her head lowered and remained silent, and spoke first: "Miss Xie, what do you want to say to me?"
Xie Ying nodded.
Then he raised his head and looked at Luo Ran seriously and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I really didn't mean it today. I really didn't know that you and King Xuan would be here, otherwise..."
Luo Ran raised his eyebrows: "What if you don't come? You won't come?"
Xie Ying shook her head: "I will wait until you leave before coming back."
Luo Ran: "So?"
Xie Ying looked at Luo Ran in surprise, not knowing whether she was pretending to be confused or what. She just glanced twice and felt that the woman in front of her had a bright and moving appearance, but could not tell anything else.
He smiled bitterly and said: "I am fifteen years old this year, I have already grown hair, and my family is helping me arrange my marriage."
