Yuan Ning glanced behind her and explained,
"I heard something moving in the alley behind here. It just so happened that your mother didn't want you to go back to the car and be bumped into by His Highness, so I came over."
Wei Zhuling, who was playing with the little sisters, raised his head again when he heard this, with a sneer flashing in his eyes, he looked at Yuan Ning and asked, "Sister Yuan was walking through that alley, did you see who was coming over there?"
"The emperor's grandson."
Yuan Ning replied calmly, and she saw that Wei Zhuling was not surprised when he heard the words. He had clearly figured out who that person was early on.
The young man sneered and said jokingly, "I thought he was coming for me, and I was ready to beat him up again, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't come over for a long time. It turned out that he was here to eavesdrop on the corner. It was also my opinion. Kill him, huh."
They were a little far away from the carriage, so they couldn't actually hear the conversation there, but the alley where the emperor's grandson was staying was very close to where the Qin family's carriage was parked, and they could hear all the conversations.
When Qin Xuanyi heard that the emperor's grandson could not help but turn pale slightly, she subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, "Why is the emperor's grandson here?"
Even though she tried hard to stay calm, the slight tremor in her tone revealed her fear when she spoke.
The young man's careless eyes were slightly cold.
He raised his head and saw the little girl's trembling hand holding the handkerchief at a glance, her brows slightly furrowed.
"He didn't return to the palace yesterday, and followed the general back to Fengninghou Mansion." Wei Zhuling answered the little girl's doubts, "I guess he also got the news and planned to come and intercept your carriage again to entangle him, but he was We got there first."
Qin Xuanyi listened to the young man's sarcastic and casual tone and looked at his still bohemian expression. She frowned and asked softly,
"Aren't you... afraid? Those are the two grandsons of the East Palace. In the future, they will become -"
"No," Wei Zhuling met the little girl's piercing eyes, a cold light suddenly appeared in his ice eyes, and he said sharply and decisively, "They don't deserve it."
Qin Xuanyi looked at the young man's cold and determined expression in shock, and was stunned.
"Wei Si."
Yuan Ning spoke at the right moment and put her hands on his shoulders, as if she had controlled a ferocious beast to come out of its cage in an instant.
The young man's deep and cold eyes slowly revealed his usual careless look. He turned his head to look at Yuan Ning and nodded silently.
Yuan Ning pursed her lips and said nothing.
There was a moment of silence, the wind rustling the fallen leaves.
The originally bustling alley suddenly became quiet. At this time, in the alley not far away, the voices of the emperor's master and his servant became clearer.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, you can't go there! Wouldn't it be worse if His Highness saw your injury and gave him a handle?"
The eunuch's thin voice seemed even more harsh as it floated on the wind.
Even the baby who was playing with the toys seriously looked up.
"Oh, Huo Liangzhuan, what kind of thing is he! How dare you fight with me, a cheap concubine!"
The furious and angry voice of the emperor's grandson came next. Even if you couldn't hear the exact words he was scolding, you could still tell that he was speaking indiscriminately, and his violent nature was clearly exposed when no one else was around.
"Your Highness Taisun is right. How can His Highness the Second Highness compare with you? The Qin family naturally looks down on him, and Duke Xiang and his son are not stupid. Compared with Your Highness Taisun, who should they choose? It’s clear at a glance!”
When the eunuch mentioned His Highness the Second Highness, his tone was extremely contemptuous.
This greatly appeased Huo Liangxiu's uncontrollable anger.
Yuan Ning stepped out from the corner and took a look, then stepped back again, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Wei Zhuling stood up next to his younger sister. Seeing Yuan Ning's expression, he sneered and said lightly sarcastically,
"The father and son are really alike. In my opinion, Jing Qing should kill the dog slaves around his great-grandson as well. Wouldn't that be a lot of fun to watch?"
Listening to the young man's unobtrusive words, Yuan Ning cast a sidelong glance at him, then glanced at the little girl next to her out of the corner of her eye.
As expected, Qin Xuanyi was looking at the young man in astonishment, dumbfounded.
"Your Highness, let's go back. He's just a clown. How can he be worthy of your attention? Now, you still have to find a way to hook up with the second young master of Mobei first."
"The second young master is about to enter the capital. The weight of Prince Mobei and his son is not comparable to that of the ten Dukes of Xiang Kingdom. If you can make friends with him first, this idea of the Qin family will be troublesome this time. Queen Your Majesty won’t say much.”
"And our Crown Prince will treat you differently and entrust you with important responsibilities! I'm afraid even the Emperor will treat you differently. Why should you take it to heart that the Second and Third Highnesses are serving Duke Xiang?"
The little eunuch's high-pitched voice was particularly penetrating. Even if it reached the alley where they were, the crackling sound of the abacus was very clear.
