Chapter 63 Tea
Author: Ragdoudou
"Then I'll hurry up and tell my uncle that His Royal Highness is going to the Zou family for dinner tonight and let them prepare well."
Jiang Yuan was so happy that she turned around to leave, but was called back by Xie Yun's words one after another.
"Why go to Zou's house? Since it's your invitation, it's natural to go to Jiang's house!"
"."
Jiang Yuan felt a little unhappy, as if she was choking for something, but she didn't think about it.
Xie Yun got on his horse without even taking Zong Yue with him. Before Jiang Yuan responded, he took the lead in the direction of the Jiang family.
Jiang Yuan quickly climbed onto the carriage and chased after him.
It was dusk, and the maids were busy lighting lamps everywhere in the mansion.
In the courtyard, it was as bright as day.
The two walked into Yushuyuan side by side, and Zou, who had already heard the news, greeted them with a smile.
"His Royal Highness is here today only for Yuan'er's sake. The dishes will be served soon. Your Highness will sit down and have some tea and snacks first. I will go to urge you. Don't let Your Highness go hungry!"
Xie Yun's eyebrows were light, he glanced around and asked casually: "Why are you in Yushuyuan?"
As a small courtyard for girls before getting married, Yushu Yuan was not very big. There were only four guest chairs in the main hall, two on the left and two on the left, which already seemed a bit crowded.
He found a seat at random and sat down. He stretched out his legs and felt that he could touch the chair opposite.
The smaller the yard, the more stuffy and stuffy it will be on midsummer nights.
It makes people feel unhappy.
"I'm asking, of course it's here, why don't you go to Grandfather's? It's just that my courtyard is a little small, don't mind, Your Highness!" Jiang Yuan had selfish motives and left the prince in Yushu courtyard, which was hers alone.
Prince.
She admitted that she initially liked him because of his status as the prince, but after getting along with him for so many years, the gentleness and kindness exuded by Xie Yun's every gesture was like a beam of light, melting people away bit by bit.
Her heart had long been filled with him.
I also hope that he can only see her.
Under the setting sun and candlelight, Xie Yun is so handsome and elegant that people can't help but want to get close to him.
She sat next to him and her eyes fell on his lips. How could a man's lips be so pink and beautiful?
"I'm hot, you're blocking my wind!" Xie Yun frowned slightly, stretched out his index finger, and touched Jiang Yuan's forehead as she kept approaching him.
"." Jiang Yuan was stunned. She was indeed sitting on the side near the door, but there was no wind tonight.
"You are the master, you take the seat!" Xie Yun's voice was soft and without any emotion. It was not an order, but it could not be refused.
Jiang Yuan had no choice but to get up and sit on the upper seat in the middle, staring at Xie Yun with a faint look.
The maid brought the tea up, and Xie Yun touched it lightly with the back of her fingers to feel the temperature of the tea.
It was a hot day today and he was very thirsty, so he did not want to drink tea that was too hot. He was absent-minded and did not ask the maid to change it immediately, but left it to dry without drinking it.
Jiang Yuan was talking nonchalantly, and Xie Yun looked outside the door, responding to her questions one after another.
"Your Highness, do you like water chestnut cake or snowflake cake?"
"Um."
"What is your Highness thinking?"
"oh."
"It's dark outside. Your Highness has been watching. Are you waiting for someone?"
"good."
Jiang Yuan: "."
Under the darkness of night, lanterns were lit in the gray courtyard, and the orange-yellow candlelight danced in the breeze.
Sporadic laughter and chatter came from outside the courtyard gate. Not long after, Jiang Nan led Xie Shu into the Yushu courtyard slowly.
Xie Yun unconsciously sat up and straightened his back, his eyes slowly moving with the mother and son, and Jiang Yuan's expression completely collapsed.
"What are you here for?"
When Jiang Yuan asked, Xie Shu had already fallen into Xie Yun's arms and said: "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for several days, and you look thinner! Mom said you were very busy, so I couldn't bear to look for him. You play, do you miss me?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes.
Xie Yun's brows were filled with a smile, and he sat on his lap with Xie Shu in his arms, saying dotingly: "I don't know who it is, who doesn't hesitate to call me a fool just to go home with my mother?"
"How dare you call His Highness a fool!" Jiang Yuan slammed the coffee table, but found that no one paid attention to her.
Xie Shu smiled shyly: "I don't know who it is! His Highness is not stupid. He is the smartest person in the world!"
Seeing Jiang Nan sitting on Xie Yun's left hand side, Jiang Yuan said angrily: "Jiang Nan, go away quickly, blocking the wind from His Highness!"
Still ignored.
The two people, one big and one small, sitting at one end of the guest chair, and Jiang Yuan on the main seat, seem to be living in two different worlds, with a natural barrier in between.
Are they all deaf?
Jiang Yuan is on the verge of going crazy.
Jiang Nan rubbed Xie Shu's head and said with a polite smile: "Shu'er just saw His Royal Highness the Prince coming to the door and insisted on coming to find you. I wonder if it disturbed you?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan took advantage of the opportunity, stood up and walked in front of the two of them, "Today I invite His Highness to come and talk about something important. Jiang Nan, please take your son and leave immediately! Immediately!"
Xie Shu was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan, then took Xie Yun's hand and said seriously: "Your Highness, she is so fierce, we won't eat with her, let's go! I'll treat you to it! My mother's cooking is the best for you. I’ve got an appetite! Let’s go!”
"Shu'er, don't be rude!" Jiang Nan scolded softly, "This is my aunt's yard. We are guests. It's wrong to come and disturb us. If you want to eat with His Highness, you can't compete with the host's family for guests!"
Xie Yun's eyes were cold, but he smiled lightly and said: "Nothing, let's eat together! We won't talk about business today!"
Jiang Yuan's lungs were about to burst with anger, but it was difficult to get angry, so she had to endure the breath, and her chest was heaving.
Xie Shu jumped happily, sweating profusely. He caught a glimpse of the tea cup on the table. He looked at Xie Yun and asked with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm so thirsty!"
"The tea just happened to be cold."
Xie Yun picked up the teacup, opened the tea lid, and the scent of jasmine spread.
Jiang Nan's expression suddenly changed.
Just as the tea cup was about to be aimed at Xie Shu's little mouth, he snatched it away with quick eyes and quick hands.
The tea spilled out, and when it reached Jiang Nan's hand, there was only half a cup left. She handed the tea cup to the tip of her nose and took a brief sniff.
really!
But this poisonous tea had been served to Xie Yun before Jiang Nan arrived. Could it be that Lan Qing wanted to kill Xie Yun?
Did Gu Yunbai say the wrong thing, or did Lan Qing give the wrong medicine?
The sudden movement made several people look surprised.
Xie Yun stared at Jiang Nan with deep eyes: "If you want to drink, let someone give you another drink. Why are you taking it from me? Are you so thirsty?"
"." Jiang Nan lowered his eyes and looked at the tea cup, silent and thinking very deeply.
Jiang Yuan sneered in her heart, was Jiang Nan planning to use such a clumsy method to attract Xie Yun's attention in front of her?
"It's okay!" Xie Shu pulled Xie Yun's sleeve, "Mother must be thirsty too, mother drinks first!"
Xie Shu smiled warmly, stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Nan's hand holding the teacup, signaling her to drink quickly.
The maid promptly brought two more cups of herbal tea. Xie Yun and Xie Shu drank one cup each, but Jiang Nan still hesitated and didn't move her mouth.
"You just robbed it, and now you don't drink it? Are you afraid that I might poison you?" Jiang Yuan sneered coldly, winked at the maid, and asked someone to change a cup for Jiang Nan.
