Rong Yunyun raised his head and looked at the back of Li Jingxing striding away. He always felt like he was running away, but he couldn't be sure, so he had to attribute it to his own hallucination.
She is beautiful and not an unscrupulous woman. How could Li Jingxing hate himself?
After Li Jingxing left the courtyard, Rong Yunyun immediately ordered Nanny Qi to find a way to find out about Li Jingxing's movements.
As the saying goes, money can make all the difference. Without much effort, Grandma Qi bought a guard in the front yard with a lot of money.
Li Jingxing did have some serious business to deal with, so he stayed in the study all afternoon and didn't leave the yard until dinner.
Standing in front of the Chuihua Gate, Li Jingxing finally went to Luomei Courtyard after some hesitation.
After all, it was the first day and he had to put on a show.
When Rong Yunyun saw Li Jingxing having dinner with him, his joy was beyond words, but he said sagely: "Your Highness, why don't you go and accompany your sister? It would be bad if she is unhappy."
Li Jingxing said calmly: "No need, Gu Li should accompany you on the first day you enter the house."
To act, you have to do the whole thing.
Rong Yunyun was very impressed by Li Jingxing's thoughtfulness and protection. He lowered his head and showed a proud smile.
The prince really likes the Rong family, so he must take advantage of the fresh period to capture the prince's heart!
After dinner, Li Jingxing chatted with Rong Yunyun for a while.
Rong Yunyun wanted to show off his talents, so he talked about many experiences and tips that laymen didn't know about business.
Li Jingxing was interested in the way of doing business, so he became a serious student for a while.
Seeing that Li Jingxing listened attentively, Rong Yunyun became more and more satisfied. After talking for an hour, his throat started to smoke before he had to stop.
"I'm not talking big words, I just need to give you ten taels of silver, and you can make a hundred and a thousand times the profit in one month!"
Li Jingxing took a sip of tea and said nothing.
Do you want to hand over the property of the Prince's Mansion to her?
On the first day he entered the government, he plotted his property, which was considered extremely courageous.
Rong Yunyun was not disappointed by Li Jingxing's silence. It was originally a test, so it didn't matter if she didn't take the bait now. She still had plenty of time anyway and she wasn't afraid that Li Jingxing wouldn't be tempted.
"It's getting late, Your Highness, please rest in peace."
Rong Yunyun put a sticker on Li Jingxing. It was only the end of July and the weather was neither cold nor hot. She was wearing a thin gauze dress, and her exquisite curves were looming underneath, which was enough to make a young and energetic man's blood flow.
Li Jingxing's eyes paused for a moment on the gully she deliberately squeezed out, and he showed an ambiguous smile.
Rong Yunyun leaned against Li Jingxing again, pressing the softness of her chest tightly against the man's arm, and spoke with a charming voice.
"Your Highness~"
Li Jingxing coughed twice, and then Xiao Fuzi walked in with his head lowered.
"Your Highness."
Li Jingxing said: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Fuzi looked confused: "Miss Caixia said that the Crown Princess is unwell."
Rong Yunyun's face immediately fell, and he gritted his teeth secretly.
Li Jingxing thought for a moment with a cold face, and then said to Rong Yunyun guiltily: "Go and see the Crown Princess. Come back tomorrow."
Rong Yunyun gave a wry smile, stood up and saluted: "I understand, I will send you off to Your Highness."
Li Jingxing patted her shoulder comfortingly, and then left with Xiao Fuzi.
After Li Jingxing went on a long trip, Rong Yunyun was so angry that he smashed his tea cup. Chuiliu and Aunt Qi immediately came into the house to comfort him.
Aunt Qi said: "Don't be upset, young lady. This kind of tactic to compete for favors only works once in a while. Your Highness will get bored if you use it too much."
Weeping Willow also said: "It is human nature to like the new and dislike the old. The princess can only take away the prince's attention in a short period of time, and cannot always influence the prince's mind."
The anger in Rong Yunyun's heart subsided a little, and he supported Zhu Chai on his head: "I know all this, I'm just angry that she is using her power to bully others."
If he snatched someone away from her on the first day, he would probably go further in the future. However, Nanny Qi and Weeping Liu were right. The more Chiyang prevented Li Jingxing from touching him, the more Li Jingxing missed him.
A wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and a thief is worse than not being able to steal.
Men have this bad behavior, so she is just waiting for Chiyang to dig his own grave!
Li Jingxing returned to Chiyang's room and saw Chiyang lying on the bed again, reading a storybook.
"Why so late?"
If it were a little later, he would be dragged into bed by that woman Rong Yunyun.
He had every reason to suspect that she did it on purpose, so that he would have a legitimate reason not to sleep with her in the future!
Chiyang heard the resentment and blame in Li Jingxing's tone and looked up at him.
"I can't see what's going on in Rong Yunyun's room. How do I know when is the best time to show up?"
[Besides, haven’t you been asleep yet? 】
When he heard the word "being slept on", Li Jingxing felt a shudder in his heart.
Chiyang asked: "Today I called His Highness away because of illness. What should I do tomorrow?"
[You can’t fight for favor every day in the name of illness. 】
Li Jingxing said: "Gu Gong is busy with work, and he doesn't come to the backyard every day. It's enough to go to Rong's place every now and then. However, Gu promised to visit her again tomorrow, and Yang'er has to think of something tomorrow."
In fact, if it weren't for Chiyang's "threat", Rong Yunyun would have gone to bed, and there would be no current predicament at all.
Chiyang glanced at Li Jingxing and said in a low voice, "Is it because of your concubine that Your Highness doesn't touch Rong Yunyun?"
To be fair, she didn't believe that Li Jingxing would clean himself up for herself, even if it was just temporary.
Li Jingxing smiled and pointedly said: "Who asked Yang'er to let Gu Shimui know the taste? He is not interested in ordinary women."
Chiyang hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that women's physiological structures were all the same, and there was no need to do so. After thinking about it, he let it go.
...
On the second day, Li Jingxing went to court as usual.
Rong Yunyun came early to greet Chiyang with a respectful attitude and no dissatisfaction on his face.
"My concubine, please send your regards to the Crown Princess. May the Crown Princess be safe."
Chiyang said calmly: "Sit down."
Rong Yunyun sat down and said with a smile: "I heard that the Crown Princess is unwell. I have a century-old ginseng. I hope the Crown Princess will accept it."
Chiyang shook his head: "It's just a minor problem, there is no need to spend such valuable things."
Rong Yunyun was just going through the motions, but when he saw that Chiyang didn't want to do anything, he didn't continue to persuade him.
After the two sides exchanged a few words, Chiyang said: "I always like to be quiet. Except for coming to say hello on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, you don't have to run to me every day."
After that, he picked up the tea cup and saw off the guests.
Rong Yunyun stood up and said, "I remember, please leave."
After returning to Luomei Courtyard, Nanny Qi said to Rong Yunyun in private: "Miss, this princess is very thoughtful. Miss, you need to be extra cautious."
Rong Yunyun said: "Don't worry, I'm measured."
After lunch, the steward sent over a gorgeous brocade bed curtain, saying that he was going to replace the gauze curtain when the weather cooled down.
Caixia took the curtain and smelled it, and praised: "Miss, this curtain smells so good!"
