Chapter 431 - 431 Xuanyuan Ye (2)
431 Xuanyuan Ye (2)
Xuanyuan Ye paused. She had gone out just now to find something to eat.
Unexpectedly, she was attracted by the candied hawthorn before she reached the restaurant. She even met the person she saw when she entered the city.
Thinking of what the man had said, she narrowed her eyes.
“Look at your expression. Did you fall for someone’s husband or something?” Xuanyuan Ziming pretended to be afraid and patted his chest.!!
Xuanyuan Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
However, she quickly calmed down and sat down opposite Xuanyuan Ziming. She said angrily, “Third Cousin, if you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll go back and tell the emperor’s uncle and grandmother.”
Bai Zhi added a pair of chopsticks in front of her.
Xuanyuan Ziming choked and said bitterly, “Xiao Yezi, since you call me cousin, I have to talk to you properly. Can you stop complaining at the drop of a hat? You’re already a young lady of marriageable age. Why are you still doing such despicable things like when you were young?”
Xuanyuan Ye paused at the mention of her coming-of-age ceremony. She took a deep breath and put down the chopsticks she had just raised. She reached out her hand to Xuanyuan Ziming. “Since you know that I’m coming of age, where’s my coming-of-age ceremony? Cousin.”
She emphasized the last word.
Xuanyuan Ziming looked at the hand in front of him and then at the drumstick he had just pulled off. A wicked smile flashed across his eyes.
He pretended to feel sorry for her and placed the drumstick in her fair hand. “If you like my drumstick, just say so. As your elder, how can I not let you eat it?”
Xuanyuan Ye cried out in surprise and shook off the drumstick. She was so angry that her teeth were chattering. She pointed at Xuanyuan Ziming and could not say anything for a long time. The grievances in her heart appeared.
Xuanyuan Ziming was still waiting for Xuanyuan Ye to flare up as usual, but he suddenly heard sobbing.
Xuanyuan Ziming looked at the crying person opposite him as if he had seen a ghost. He swallowed the prawns in his mouth. “No way. You’re crying just because I didn’t give you a gift?”
Bai Zhi couldn’t stand it anymore. Putting aside the fact that she didn’t have a father to dote on her, her princess was doted on in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, but this Third Prince always liked to bully her.
She said angrily, “Your Highness, where’s His Highness? Didn’t you go to look for His Highness?”
Xuanyuan Ziming blinked. Only then did he remember that in order to prevent Xuanyuan Ye from following him to the Hidden Spirit Temple, he had promised to bring his uncle back.
In the end, because he met that little girl, he forgot to tell her that Xuanyuan Ye had also come.
He rubbed his nose guiltily. “Well, actually… Imperial Uncle is sick.”
Xuanyuan Ye stood up and interrupted him. “What? What happened to my father?”
“He’s sick. His face is pale. I didn’t dare to disturb his rest, so I came back first.”
“Come, we’re going to the Hidden Spirit Temple.”
There were still tears on her face, but she had already walked out. Xuanyuan Ziming felt a headache coming on. If he went over now, he would have to go up the mountain in the dark, right?
To prevent any accidents from happening, he quickly followed. He did not forget to turn around and instruct Zhu Zi, “Pack these up. We’ll bring them to the Hidden Spirit Temple to eat.”
Zhu Zi muttered, “But these are all meat dishes.” Aren’t you afraid of being thrown out?
“Then we’ll eat in the carriage. I wonder what Imperial Uncle is thinking. He went to the temple to recuperate after recuperating. He didn’t even have any meat or fish. How can he recover from his illness?”
Although Xuanyuan Ce did not say that he was there to recuperate, Xuanyuan Ziming automatically thought so.
As soon as Song Jingchen arrived home, he saw Brother Hao and the others doing their homework in the courtyard. Lin Shao and Bruiser were fiddling with something at the side, and he could smell the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
“Big Brother, you’re back!” They looked up and shouted. Although they were afraid, they still respected Song Jingchen as their big brother.
Especially when they saw the candied hawthorn in his hand, they felt that their brother looked especially lively today.
“Yes.” Song Jingchen handed five sticks of candied hawthorn to Sister Huan and asked her to share it with them. He then placed a bag of candied plums on the stone table. Looking around, he didn’t see a certain someone. He coughed lightly and asked, “Where’s your sister-in-law?”
The five of them happened to have one each. Song Jingchen still had a few candied hawthorns and a few bags of candied plums.
Sister Huan sighed deeply.
Sighing, she took the opportunity to grab a few candied plums and hide them. She stuffed a few more into her mouth before pointing in the direction of the backyard. “Sister-in-law went back to the courtyard as soon as she returned.”
