Xiao Ni just stood in front of Princess Danyang, and before she could say anything, she mistakenly thought she was a servant who came to deliver tea, and she couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
Unexpectedly, before he could explain, the girl in front of him quickly realized something was wrong, frowned slightly, and raised her head to look at him.
That sharp gaze that seemed to sting the skin and see through all disguises instantly took Xiao Ni's breath away.
It seemed that all the ulterior motives would be invisible in those eyes.
But fortunately, the fearful gaze quickly turned into the familiar admiration and confusion the moment it touched him.
While Xiao Ni was secretly sorting out her frightened heart, she took a deep breath without trace, and at the same time she smiled deeper and said:
"It turns out that the noble person Wei Gong mentioned is you, the princess."
Danyang had also come back to his senses at this time, and he smiled bitterly in his heart that at his age, he could still look at the beauty and lose his mind. But on his face, he just smiled and nodded as if nothing had happened:
"His Royal Highness Seventh is also looking for Eunuch Wei?"
Of course, this is just a knowing nonsense that was said to lighten the atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ni answered very seriously.
"The princess guessed it right. In order to run an errand for Third Brother, I came to ask Mr. Wei to help find someone. But the number of people is a bit large and the scope is a bit wide."
Danyang looked at the beautiful young man in front of him in confusion, wondering why he, an outsider who had nothing to do with him, was telling so many details.
At this moment, Xiao Ni seemed to hear her voice and continued:
"So, can you make it easier for me?"
"Me? Is it convenient?"
Danyang frowned in confusion. Did Eunuch Wei not want to get involved in Xiao Yan's affairs? So Lao Qi came to her to help put pressure on Wei Xian?
If it's someone else's business, she doesn't care about helping, and she's not afraid of trouble. But as long as Xiao Yan and Concubine Jing are involved, don't think she can lend a helping hand! Don’t even think about it if it’s just a finger!
But in order not to embarrass each other, especially because she didn't want to hurt the seventh prince in front of her who was being bullied in the palace, Danyang suppressed the anger in Xiao Yan's heart when she heard it, stood up with a smile, and said:
"Although I don't know what kind of help my seventh cousin wants me to do, I guess Concubine Jing's reputation is better than..."
Danyang's original intention was to refuse, but also to give Xiao Ni a heads up and come up with a little idea. At least Xiao Ni's errand would not be ruined after she refused to help.
But before she could finish her words, Xiao Ni saw that the person was about to leave and immediately took a step forward. While blocking the way, she explained with a wry smile and said:
"You, if the princess feels troubled, then I will go back today and ask Duke Wei to bring out the list for me to find someone another day. In any case, I cannot delay your business."
Xiao Ni said goodbye to Danyang. It was just the lonely expression, reddish eyes, and the wry smile on the corner of the mouth that made Danyang feel a faint sting in his heart the moment he saw it.
In her previous life, when she was still ignorant, she would often see her mother showing the same wry smile after looking at the moon in a trance.
So, just when Xiao Ni was about to cross the screen, Danyang changed his mind.
"etc."
When the beautiful boy who was about to turn back to the main hall turned around in surprise at being stopped, she had already caught up with him in stride.
"Since we're all looking at the roster, let's go together."
Anyway, she didn't help Xiao Yan do it, she just pretended that she didn't know what the seventh prince Xiao Ni was doing.
When thinking this way, Danyang happened to pass by Xiao Ni, and he threw the roster that she had been holding for a long time into his arms, and said casually:
"There's no one I'm looking for here, so just take it and use it."
Although she tried her best to show off her usual domineering energy, after seeing that lonely smile, Danyang knew clearly that she had not performed well.
Xiao Ni was really surprised. The moment he saw Princess Danyang getting up, he was ready to fight again another day. Who knew it would still be possible?
And he had never heard of Princess Danyang, who always spoke her mind, ever showing pity to others.
When thinking this way, Xiao Ni inexplicably recalled the look in the girl's eyes just now - although there was a sharpness as sharp as a blade, there was no doubt about the surprise and admiration that followed.
Although she did not appear again after that, she was the shy girl with rosy cheeks that she was used to seeing. But Princess Danyang was once fascinated by him, and that was true.
Thinking of this moment, Xiao Ni followed Danyang, lowering her head and walking out, but a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth. But before the ripples could spread, the cold smile disappeared without a trace.
As soon as Danyang's toes came out of the screen, Eunuch Wei, who was waiting in the main hall, had already strode over, greeted her with a smile and said:
"Have you rested, Princess?"
Danyang was stunned for a moment when she was asked. When she saw Wei Xian's thoughtful look behind her, she nodded in confusion and gave a false response.
Although she didn't know where this Eunuch Wei was thinking, these were trivial matters and she was too lazy to waste her brain energy. After sitting down, he just asked:
"Father-in-law, do you have other things to do? Shall we continue?"
Wei Xian only persuaded Princess Danyang after thinking that Xiao Ni had used a honey trap. Therefore, in order not to ruin the atmosphere at this time, I just pretended.
But seeing that Princess Danyang didn't seem to be what he thought, her eyes were not glued to the seventh prince, and something didn't seem right.
However, no matter what, as long as he can get the job done, nothing else matters.
So after being stunned for a moment, Eunuch Wei immediately smiled and said:
"No, no, the most important job here at the Zajia now is yours."
As he spoke, he spread out the roster he had prepared before, and raised his hand to ask Princess Danyang to take a seat.
Immediately afterwards, the inner room with three people returned to the state it was in before Xiao Ni came. Only this time, Princess Danyang seemed to be more attentive.
Because every time after Wei Xian finished talking about a book, she would push it in time and send it to the seventh prince sitting on the other side.
After a few times, before Wei Xian, who was secretly twitching his lips, reached his limit, Xiao Ni heard some clues.
"Princess Princess, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds. Are you looking for an old palace maid who can be appointed by the Princess Mansion to discipline your grandma?"
Because there were outsiders around this time, Danyang did pay more attention to his surroundings than before, except of course to help Xiao Ni so that he could finish his work and leave as soon as possible. On the other hand, it is also to prevent myself from unintentionally murmuring something that I shouldn't say.
Unexpectedly, before anything happened on her side, the person opposite who was supposed to be doing business was instead minding other things.
There is nothing unspeakable about Danyang's obvious reasons for coming here. So after Xiao Ni asked, she just rolled her eyes casually, nodded, looked at the person opposite, and responded with a lazy smile:
"Indeed, you guessed it right. What, seventh cousin has a good candidate?"
