Xiao Yunhe shamelessly insisted on following His Highness the Prince's carriage to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
If he can't see Lu Fengyi today, he vows not to give up!
Seeing His Royal Highness the Prince's carriage enter the mansion, Xiao Yunhe also got off the Xiao family's carriage, dusted himself off, and was about to cross the threshold with long strides.
However, he saw the guards who were guarding both sides of the door quickly turning around and entering the house.
Xiao Yunhe stopped subconsciously:?
There was a loud "bang" sound.
The door of the Prince's Mansion was closed as quickly as possible in front of Xiao Yunhe.
Xiao Yunhe had no time to dodge, and his forehead hit the door unexpectedly.
The pain hit him instantly, causing Xiao Yunhe to take a breath of cold air, raised his hand to cover his red and swollen forehead, and staggered back.
Xiao Yunhe looked at the closed door in front of him in disbelief, and he was dumbfounded.
After reacting, Xiao Yunhe raised his hand and slammed the door: "Open the door, I haven't even gone in yet!"
"I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"I want to see the crown prince's concubine!"
Behind the door, hearing the shouts of Second Young Master Xiao outside, the two guards guarding the door looked at each other.
The two of them discussed in a low voice: "I don't know how the Second Young Master Xiao offended His Highness, but now he is not even allowed to enter."
"Now that His Highness does not issue an order, we will not dare to let Second Young Master Xiao in."
"Then, should we go to Qingshu Courtyard to report this matter to the concubine?"
"I think it's okay, please go to Qingshu Courtyard quickly."
"OK!"
One of the guards turned around and left, walking hurriedly in the direction of Qingshu Yuan.
Xie Xi didn't pay attention to this matter.
After returning to the house, Xie Xi went to the study in the front yard to sort out the letters sent back by the spies from Jiangnan, planning to go to Jingxiang Courtyard later.
As everyone knows, as soon as Chen Lu got the news that His Highness was back, she hurried back to Jingxiang Courtyard to report the news to her master.
"Master, Master, His Highness is back!"
Saying that, Chen Lu said excitedly: "His Highness really kept his promise. He said he would be back at noon, and he would be back at noon!"
"Master, this servant will go to the kitchen to bring the meal. When His Highness comes, the Master can have a meal with His Highness!"
Yesterday, His Highness stayed in the master's room!
Although she didn't hear anything during her vigil, Chen Lu knew in her heart that His Highness was interested in his master now. As long as the Master could capture His Highness's heart, the Master's status would definitely rise.
When the time comes, she, a maid, will also be able to benefit from it, and her monthly salary will also increase!
Lu Xiaoxiao, who had been lying on the couch reading a storybook after breakfast, suddenly got up from the couch in confusion when he heard this, "Chen Lu, you just said that His Highness is back?"
Chen Lu nodded and said, "Yes, Master."
Lu Xiaoxiao closed the notebook and put it on the table on the other side: "Then has His Highness come this way?"
Chen Lu: "Not yet."
"and you……"
Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a while and then ordered: "Chen Lu, you go to the kitchen and ask for some sweet cakes first. If His Highness doesn't come, I will go find His Highness."
Today, His Highness entered the palace for the morning court. I don’t know what they said in the morning. But when she was having breakfast, Jiujiu reminded her that Jiang Nan’s secret message had been sent to the palace.
The secret letter that was supposed to arrive two days later was delivered early today.
Now the plot has changed again. If she doesn't keep an eye on it, if the Jiangnan bribery case eventually falls on the fourth prince, won't she fail the mission and be struck by lightning?
Seeing that her master seemed a little anxious, Chen Lu didn't dare to delay at all and quickly turned around and left.
Lu Xiaoxiao also assigned a task to Bai Zhi who was standing by: "Bai Zhi, go out and find out where His Highness is at this time."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Zhi has a few good friends in the house, so it would be best for her to inquire about His Highness's whereabouts.
Chen Lu and Bai Zhi came back soon.
"Master, this slave is back with sweet cakes."
"Master, His Highness is still in the study at this time."
After saying that, Chen Lu and Bai Zhi looked at each other and smiled, and they could see the relief in each other's eyes.
My master finally knew how to get close to His Highness.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't notice the small movements between the two maids. After Bai Shu combed her hair into a bun, she said: "Chen Lu, Bai Zhi, you just come with me."
Chenlu Baizhi responded at the same time: "Yes, Master."
Followed by two maids, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly arrived at the study door in the front yard.
As soon as he got close, Lu Xiaoxiao was stopped by the guards.
[Hiss, this big sword, fortunately I retreated quickly, otherwise the guard brother's sword would have fallen on me. 】
"?"
Xie Xi, who was staying in the study and reading letters carefully, suddenly heard a familiar voice.
After listening carefully to the contents of his heart, Xie Xi frowned unconsciously.
Why is Lu Fengyi here? Were you still frightened by the guard's sword?
"Lu Fengyi, the study is an important place. No one is allowed to enter without His Highness's order."
Lu Xiaoxiao took another half step back and took the food box that Chen Lu was carrying.
Lu Xiaoxiao raised his eyes and said to the guard standing on the left: "Brother guard, please go in and inform His Highness."
[After all, this is a study, and I don’t know if His Highness will let me in. 】
"yes."
The guard responded and was about to go in and make an announcement. Unexpectedly, the guard turned around and saw His Highness walking out.
The guard immediately stopped and saluted: "This subordinate has met His Highness."
Seeing His Highness, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, he took two steps forward and said to His Highness, "I have met Your Highness."
Chen Lu and Bai Zhi who followed behind also saluted.
[I don’t know if His Highness and I have a telepathic connection. Why can I really see His Highness when I think of Him? 】
Xie Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a faint smile in his eyes. He strode up to Lu Fengyi, looked her over without leaving a trace, and then felt relieved.
His eyes inadvertently fell on the food box she was carrying, and Xie Xi's lips curled up slightly: "Lu Fengyi, is this brought here specially for the orphan?"
Lu Xiaoxiao blinked, "Yes, Your Highness."
[Don’t I have to find a good excuse to come to see His Highness? I don’t know what excuse to make at the moment, so I have no choice but to come over and deliver cakes to His Highness! 】
Xie Xi: "..."
Lu Fengyi was truly sincere in his heart.
Xie Xi lowered his head, took the food box over with one hand, held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand with the other, and asked warmly: "Why is Lu Fengyi here?"
[It’s a mission again. If His Highness doesn’t come, I can only come over and find out more about it in person! 】
Lu Xiaoxiao raised his eyes, his round apricot eyes staring straight at His Highness the Crown Prince, and said aggrievedly: "His Highness said he would come to Jingxiang Courtyard to have lunch with me at noon, but I haven't seen you after waiting for a long time. To Your Highness..."
