Hearing Cang Yunxuan's voice, Shen Luoxi calmly signaled Xiao Yueze to get out of the way, then raised his eyes to meet him.
"The prince is finally here."
Cang Yunxuan strode up to her and looked at her and Xiao Yueze coldly.
"I should come later, so as not to spoil your good deeds."
Xiao Yueze frowned, "The princess and I are innocent. Please speak with respect, sir."
Cang Yunxuan sneered, "There are only two of you in this yard, how can you be considered innocent?"
"If I had come later, I don't know what would have happened to you."
Xiao Yueze silently put his hand on the long sword at his waist, waiting for Cang Yunxuan to say something unpleasant again, and then he would take action immediately.
Shen Luoxi glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and held down his sword calmly. Then she raised her eyes and looked at Cang Yunxuan calmly, "Those who are clean will be clean by themselves. If the prince doesn't believe it, that's all."
"Besides, the prince smells of alcohol now. I'm afraid it will delay things. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After smelling the smell of alcohol on Cang Yunxuan's body, she lost the mood to talk to Cang Yunxuan about business. Talking about business to a drunkard would only be a waste of time.
She stood up and wanted to go back to the house. Cang Yunxuan lowered his face and raised his hand to stop her. However, Cang Yunxuan was drunk and his reaction was a little slow. Xiao Yueze raised his sword and blocked his hand.
"If the prince is too drunk to go back, I can take him back to the courtyard."
Cang Yunxuan looked at him coldly, "Get out of the way."
Xiao Yueze didn't move at all, and Shen Luoxi's cold voice came from behind, "I think the prince is in good spirits and can go back by himself."
"Yueze, just send the prince out of our courtyard."
After the words fell, Shen Luoxi had already closed the door.
At that moment, Cang Yunxuan and Xiao Yueze started fighting.
The two of them fought from the courtyard to the courtyard gate. Xiao Yueze drew his sword and forced Cang Yunxuan out of the courtyard.
Cang Yunxuan looked at the sword close at hand. As long as Xiao Yueze took another step forward, the sword would pierce his throat.
When the guard waiting outside the courtyard saw this, he immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Xiao Yueze. Xiao Yueze didn't take it seriously and said in a calm voice: "The princess is going to rest. The prince can go back."
Cang Yunxuan pursed her lips into a thin line, "She is my princess, and I will never allow others to covet her."
Xiao Yueze remained silent, just confronting him quietly.
The guards on the side looked at each other, but they would not act rashly without Cang Yunxuan's order.
After a moment, Cang Yunxuan made a move. He took a step back, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"I will remember what happened tonight."
He turned and left, and the guards strode after him.
Xiao Yueze watched him walk away, then put his sword back into its scabbard and silently closed the courtyard door.
He had indeed admired Shen Luoxi for a long time, but he would not do anything to overstep his bounds. Even if he just looked at him from afar, he would be satisfied.
But he still couldn't help but hope that it would be great if Shen Luoxi could recognize him...
…
The next morning, as soon as Shen Luoxi sat down to prepare for breakfast, Cang Yunxuan and Ning Yanran appeared outside the yard.
She rolled her eyes in disgust. Last night, she had insulted Cang Yunxuan. Cang Yunxuan brought Ning Yanran to confront her early in the morning. He was so petty!
"Your Majesty and I were afraid that my sister would be lonely eating breakfast alone, so we came together to accompany her today."
"Why is my sister's breakfast so little? But the servants are neglecting her?"
Shen Luoxi smiled lightly, "I asked why my sister spends so much every month. It turns out that she spends a lot of money on daily expenses."
"According to the rules of the palace, even the prince can only have three side dishes for breakfast every day."
Ning Yanran's expression changed, she didn't expect Shen Luoxi to take advantage of this!
She forced a smile and said, "Sister, I misunderstood..."
"Then sister, please explain where all the money was spent?" Shen Luoxi looked at her with a smile.
Ning Yanran couldn't answer and could only look at Cang Yunxuan aggrievedly.
"From now on, all Yanran's expenses will come from my private account." Cang Yunxuan said coldly.
Shen Luoxi had no objection and told Xue Yu to talk to the steward before bowing his head and starting to eat.
Cang Yunxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and Ning Yanran noticed it and rolled her eyes, then she said, "Why did my sister start eating by herself? It's rare that the prince and I come to accompany my sister to have breakfast, but she is so cold."
"My sister said that I was eating poorly when she came. How could I wrong the prince and my sister?" Shen Luoxi didn't even raise his head. "The prince can come to me to discuss things after eating, but the prince wants to wait for me. I don’t have any objection either.”
As she said that, she picked up a small dish with chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
Ning Yanran's expression changed slightly, and she turned to look at Cang Yunxuan, wanting to leave with him.
She didn't want to have breakfast amidst Shen Luoxi's ridicule!
But Cang Yunxuan sat down, something she didn't expect, "Your Majesty..."
"These dishes don't look like kitchen craftsmanship." Cang Yunxuan said.
Shen Luoxi didn't comment and slowly swallowed a mouthful of porridge.
"What I eat every day now is my own private account. The prince can't control it, right?"
Cang Yunxuan looked at Xiao Yueze behind her calmly, with a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, "Only you can eat such a mess of food."
"After all, it's a dog. It's enough that it can bite people."
Shen Luoxi stopped wiping her mouth for a moment, and looked at Cang Yunxuan expressionlessly, "My people will not tolerate the prince's slander."
"If the prince doesn't listen, I don't mind teaching him how to speak."
Seeing her protecting Xiao Yueze like this, Cang Yunxuan felt even more dissatisfied, "Is that what I said wrong? What kind of person raises what kind of dog, let alone a mad dog."
Xiao Yueze didn't care about being scolded, but he allowed others to scold Shen Luoxi.
"My lord, be careful what you say."
"It's not a dog's turn to direct what I want to do." Cang Yunxuan sneered.
Ning Yanran silently looked at Cang Yunxuan's expression and bit her lower lip gently. Why was Cang Yunxuan so angry suddenly?
Just like this morning, Cang Yunxuan came as soon as she got up and took her to the courtyard of Shenluoxi.
When she first came here, she felt that Cang Yunxuan was always facing her and protecting her, but now she felt weird, as if Cang Yunxuan brought her here just to make her angry...
She clenched her fists and quickly pushed the thought out of her mind.
Cang Yunxuan has been with her these days, and he took her to meet other ministers yesterday. It is impossible for Cang Yunxuan to be tempted by Shenluoxi!
Ning Yanran tried her best to let herself think so, but she was still worried in her heart. From the corner of her eye, she saw Shen Luoxi picking up the teapot and pouring it on Cang Yunxuan's head.
Cang Yunxuan's clothes were soaked by the tea. Shen Luoxi didn't stop until all the water in the teapot was poured out.
"Is the prince sober now? If not, I still have a basin of cold water for washing hands in the house to help the prince sober up." She said coldly.
