Ms. Qiu wanted to follow her in, but Xie Xun stopped her at the right time, "Please, Mrs. Chen, please prepare a guest room for me and Xu Wu."
"Oh, yes." Mrs. Qiu quickly retracted her foot. After asking He Xiang to clean up the yard, she quickly came to Xie Xun and asked with great respect, "I wonder what kind of yard Mr. Xie wants?"
Xie Xun waved his hand to brush away the flowers and grass covering Xu Zan's body, and raised his eyebrows slightly at his resentful gaze, "Any kind of courtyard will do, as long as it's closer to Qingzhi Courtyard."
"I'll make arrangements right away." Qiu glanced at Xu Zan and quickly went out to make arrangements.
She arranged for Xie Xun to stay in Hengwu Courtyard.
Hengwu Courtyard is the closest courtyard to Qingzhi Courtyard.
It was also the courtyard where Chen Anning lived when he first returned to the capital.
Instructing her servants to wash the inside and outside of Hengwu Courtyard, put on brand new quilts, quilt covers, and pillows, and wipe all the tables and chairs, Mrs. Qiu led Xie Xun into the courtyard. While flattering, he said: "The house is simple and the preparations are in a hurry. Thank you sir to see if there is anything missing. I will send someone to buy it immediately."
Xie Xun stood in the courtyard, looking at Qingzhiyuan, which was only three feet away from Hengwuyuan, and said quietly: "Let's do this for now."
"Okay, then I won't disturb Mr. Xie and Mr. Xu Wu from resting." Mrs. Qiu bowed her hands respectfully, but hesitated and refused to leave.
Xie Xun withdrew his gaze, ordered his servants to carry Xu Zan to the main hall, and said, "If Mrs. Chen has anything to say, it's okay to just say it."
"It's not an important matter," Mrs. Qiu hesitated for a moment. Seeing that he had no intention of asking further, she could only say, "It's just that our family An Ning grew up in the mountains and didn't learn many rules. Mr. Xie valued it so much." She is her blessing, but I don’t know if the princess is willing to let her enter the gate of Guangling Palace?”
Xie Xun suppressed the smile at the corners of his lips and said, neither salty nor indifferent: "Isn't it too early for Mrs. Chen to worry about this now?"
"Logically speaking, it's a bit early." Mrs. Qiu pretended to pick up the handkerchief and tried it on her mouth, and said quite complacently, "It's just that the eldest princess wants to protect our peace and security, and the one she protects is the direct descendant of the Wen family in Guangling County. The eldest grandson. If the princess refuses to let us in peacefully, then we will definitely have to make other plans."
The eldest princess wants to protect Chen Anning's match?
Is it still Wen Qinsang who is protected?
Xie Xun looked at Qingzhiyuan in surprise, then looked at Qiu, "I wonder where Mrs. Chen heard about the fact that the eldest princess wants to protect Miss Chen Er's match?"
Mrs. Qiu knew that he didn't believe what she said, but thinking of the huge benefits she would gain from the fight between him and the eldest grandson of the Wen family, she said angrily: "Of course it was Miss Chunrui and Chuntao who told me, Mr. Xie If you don’t believe it, you can ask them for confirmation.”
Since Chun Rui and Chuntao said it, it cannot be false.
only……
In order to protect the foundation of the Princess's mansion, the eldest princess was willing to use Wen Qinsang as a chess piece, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Wen Qinsang is the most outstanding child of the Wen family in Guangling County.
According to his current development, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to become an important minister of the court in at most ten years.
For Wen Qinsang, who is only twenty years old now, ten years is not a long number, but the eldest princess is not willing to wait. This undoubtedly showed that the situation in the Princess's mansion was more serious than he imagined.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. After Xie Xun glanced at Qingzhiyuan again, he looked back at Qiu. Seeing the calculation in her eyes, he couldn't help but twitch his lips and cooperated with her: "I will naturally ask about such a big matter."
"Then I won't disturb Mr. Xie." The goal has been achieved. Qiu clasped his hands and left knowingly.
Xie Xun watched her walk out of Hengwu Courtyard and waved to a servant, "Go to Zuixian Tower and call me a banquet. I want the best and most expensive banquet."
After returning from the banquet, Xie Xun asked his servants to go to Qingzhiyuan to invite Chen Anning, "I just told her that there was a banquet at Zuixian Tower and asked her if she wanted to come and eat with her."
The servant went to Qingzhiyuan and relayed his words to the maid at the door word for word.
The maid went to the house and relayed it to He Xiang, and He Xiang relayed it word for word to Chen Anning who had just finished taking a bath and was wiping her hair.
Chen Anning leaned back on the chair and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes: "Zui Xian Tower?"
Chun Rui explained: "Zui Xian Lou is the best restaurant in the capital. The best banquet costs hundreds of taels of silver."
Chen Anning immediately opened his eyes, "How long will it take for my hair to dry?"
Chun Rui said: "It will take some time."
"Then let's do this for now." Chen Anning stood up without hesitation and went to Hengwuyuan with a plain face and disheveled hair.
When Xie Xun saw her appearance, he said without any strange expression: "I thought you wouldn't come."
Chen Anning glanced at the dishes on the table, sat down opposite him, then glanced at Xu Zan, who was being fed porridge by the maid, and asked casually: "There is something delicious and delicious, why don't you come?"
Xie Xun smiled half-heartedly, "Miss Chen Er, aren't you afraid of being soft-spoken?"
Chen Anning said: "Don't be afraid."
Because there is no word soft-spoken in her dictionary.
Xie Xun smiled and poured her a glass of wine himself, "Try it, the best daughter red here."
Chen Anning took it and took a sip. After tasting it carefully, she said, "It's okay."
"The boss of Zuixian Tower will definitely have a fight with you if he hears what you say." Xie Xun joked.
Chen Anning raised his eyebrows, "How does his martial arts compare to yours?"
Xie Xun chuckled and said, "It's not even close."
Chen Anning said: "Then you'd better persuade him. My actions are not serious."
Xie Xun saw the way she kept her eyes on the food and kept her hands on the food, and a long-lasting warmth surged in his heart involuntarily. He thought he had long forgotten it, but it was as clear as yesterday.
That warmth comes from the Criminal Investigation Department of Haishi. Whenever a serious or major case occurs, the brothers take the time to eat: gobbling up and racing against time.
His eyes felt a little hot.
Xie Xun raised his head, forced the heat away, and warned in a gentle voice: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
After Chen Anning moved for a moment, she looked up at him.
Xie Xun smiled, "Are you used to it?"
Chen Anning didn't answer and asked: "What about you?"
Xie Xun laughed again.
Knowing that she was testing his background, after laughing, she still replied: "It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but later I found out...it's not bad."
Chen Anning teased: "Considering your status, you should be more than good, right?"
The third son of the Guangling Prince's Palace was considered a privileged class in this dynasty. With such an identity and such a background, it can be said that there is no obstacle to finding clues or people.
"As far as my status is concerned, it is indeed more than good." Xie Xun said calmly, "It is precisely because it is more than good that the responsibility is more important and Miss Chen Er is needed more."
Chen Anning smiled, "Master Xie, you have been here for a long time and you have even forgotten the rules? If you only talk about responsibilities and don't talk about benefits, then you are acting like a hooligan!"
Xie Xun took advantage of the situation and said, "What kind of benefits does Miss Chen Er want?"
