Xie Xun was so angry that he closed his eyes and ignored her.
Chen Anning smiled slightly and didn't tease him anymore.
only……
As the Guangling Prince's Mansion got closer and closer, my mood became tense unconsciously for no reason.
I felt awkward as if I was going to meet my boyfriend's parents for the first time.
Although she has already met Princess Guangling, judging from Princess Guangling's behavior, she seems to be quite satisfied with her.
But this inexplicable tension and embarrassment cannot be suppressed no matter how hard I try.
I took two sips of cold tea and took out a book.
After flipping through a few pages, not only could I not understand a single word, but I became even more nervous.
"Why is this carriage so hard?" Xie Xun sat next to her, folded his hands, tilted his head and leaned on her shoulder, "Lend me your shoulder to lean on."
Realizing that she was trying to hide, Xie Xun said slowly: "Since the day I left Jincheng County, I haven't had a good rest. Going back to the palace today is a rest. I will start to be busy again tomorrow. I don't know how busy this is. How long will I be busy again?”
"Don't mess with me." He said this, but Chen Anning didn't hide anymore.
The corner of Xie Xun's mouth curled up, "I'm not trying to be miserable, but I want to remind you that we haven't gotten married yet. I'm going to be exhausted, and you won't get any share of the property. So, even if it's just for that share For the sake of property, you should also take good care of me.”
Chen Anning sneered: "Not to mention that you have a bright future, but are you starting to compare your wealth with your property?"
"There is no other way," Xie Xun said slowly, "If you don't recognize my future, I can only take the value of the property you care about most."
Chen Anning joked, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you to death after you get the property?"
Xie Xun opened his eyes and glanced at her, "I not only have a salary, but also rewards from the emperor from time to time. Are you willing to do so?"
Chen Anning looked at the book in his hand, and suddenly he could read it again.
Turning her head to look at him, she couldn't help but curl her lips.
As for Xie Xun, feeling her relaxed waist, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
soon.
The carriage arrived at the Guangling Palace.
Xie Xun sat up and got off the carriage first.
Afterwards, just as he was about to turn around to help Chen Anning, he was squeezed out by the stewards, nuns and maids who swarmed up.
The nanny squeezed in front of her was the one who had followed Princess Guangling to the Chen family two days ago. Stretching out her arm to help Chen Anning get out of the carriage, she asked with a smile, "Are you tired from the journey here?"
Looking at Xie Xun who was squeezed next to the pillar of the gate with a helpless expression, Chen Anning felt strangely calm. After answering her grandma, "It's okay," she followed her lead into the gate and transferred to the soft shuttle bus. The sedan traveled for about two more cups of tea before arriving at the second gate.
"I guess we should be here." At the second door, Princess Guangling held the hand of Chen Anning who came down from the sedan chair, and led her as she walked in, "Your Majesty has been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. I have been here for a long time. When I came back from Chen's house, I kept asking if you had said when you would come."
"Look at the water in this yard. It's all the result of ordering the servants in the house to wash and clean it after learning about your arrival."
"This means that you said you were going to come at the last minute, but you couldn't make it in time, so you only washed the flowers and the ground. You had to tell me two days in advance. I guess he could even have the tiles on the roof wiped clean one by one."
Xie Xun clicked his tongue, "I didn't expect the old man to have such a careful side."
Princess Guangling rolled her eyes at him, "Who let you brothers fail? When your father was your age..."
"Okay, here we go again." After Xie Xun sighed with a headache, he suddenly changed the topic, "Let's not talk about what happened to the old man when he was my age. In short, I already have everything. You have to worry in the future. , just worry about the eldest brother and the second brother."
"Brothers and sisters, we haven't even met each other yet, and you're showing off?" From behind a few magnolia trees in front of us, two square, handsome men walked out one after the other.
Walking closer, they both clasped their hands towards Chen Anning. The man in front of him, who had just spoken, said: "I have often heard in Nanjun that my brothers and sisters are good in everything. Now I see that except for one thing, the rest are not good." It’s no different than hearsay.”
The other man asked with a half-smile, "I think everything is good, but you said everything is bad. Which aspect are you referring to?"
The man who spoke first said, "You have bad taste."
"Just be jealous." After Xie Xun replied disapprovingly, he nodded his chin and introduced the two of them to Chen Anning, "My eldest brother and my second brother."
Although Chen Anning had never met the two of them, after dealing with Xie Xun, she also privately inquired about the situation of the Guangling Palace from Chunrui and Chuntao.
Xie Xun's second brother, Xie Chen, is the prefect of Nanjun, and his eldest brother, Xie Qian, is the imperial minister of the Imperial Academy.
After clasping his hands and greeting the two of them, Chen Anning replied with a smile: "It's not that I have bad taste, it's just that I searched around the capital and only picked out a tall guy like him."
Xie Xun said proudly: "Did you hear that, two dwarfs!"
Princess Guangling, Xie Qian, Xie Chen and a group of maids, stewards and maids all laughed out loud.
After laughing, Xie Chen said: "I have been the prefect of Nanjun for three years, and this is the first time I have come back. It has only been less than two days since I came back. Anyone who is short or not can't be blamed on me."
Xie Qian laughed: "So after all, I am the dwarf?"
"If the eldest son sets his sights lower and gets married earlier, he will no longer be a dwarf." A nanny joked.
Xie Qian sighed, "Then I'll continue to be a dwarf."
Princess Guangling said angrily: "If you start a family and start a business, what's the use of having a big career if you don't have a family? You still don't live up to your reputation by returning wine to the Imperial College! Your father is at your age..."
"Mom, let's go quickly." Xie Chen hurriedly came up, held her arm and said, "Father will be anxious soon!"
"What's wrong with asking him to wait?" Princess Guangling laughed angrily, "You can't even listen to my nagging, right?"
"Where are you?" Xie Chen glanced at Chen Anning. "Usually, mother can nag her as long as she wants. Today is the first time that my siblings come to visit. Mother must leave a good impression. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the third brother to coax him back. Now that my younger brother and sister are gone, my third brother will be looking for help from you."
When Princess Guangling heard this, she held Chen Anning's hand tightly and stopped nagging.
In front of Qingyun Hall.
Prince Guangling paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "Hurry up and have a look, why haven't you..."
"I'm coming!"
King Guangling hurried back to the room and sat down, straightened his clothes, shook his sleeves, and asked his entourage, "What I'm wearing is okay, right?"
Wen An smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will be no problem."
After Prince Guangling straightened his sleeves again, he asked uncertainly: "Really?"
Wen An had a good temper and said, "Really."
Hearing the footsteps that had entered the courtyard, King Guangling quickly stopped talking and sat upright.
Seeing him like this, Wen An stood up straight unconsciously.
