"The king will send someone to pick up Qiu Sheng later. Lunch will be at my house. Let's go...don't just stand there stupidly and go to the pavilion to sit for a while." Xiang Zhujiu said and dragged Xia Qinghuan towards the pavilion.

Xia Qinghuan secretly tried not to move forward, while Yue Lingxi and Xia Ling'er entered the pavilion first.

However, Xiang Zhujiu and Xia Qinghuan were still secretly fighting each other.

Xiang Zhujiu glared at Xia Qinghuan: "If you want the Tianheng Stone, just be obedient. When I am happy, I might return the Tianheng Stone to you."

Xia Qinghuan's eyes widened: "Didn't you throw it away?"

"I know where to throw it." Xiang Zhujiu smiled proudly.

"In other words, you have been lying to me! Are you asking me to search all over the garden on purpose?" Xia Qinghuan was so angry that she lifted her foot that had just been released by Xiang Zhujiu and kicked it up.

Xiang Zhujiu jumped away quickly and pulled Xia Qinghuan into his arms again.

"It's fun to play with me, isn't it! Xiang Zhujiu...I'm not done with you." Xia Qinghuan yelled in anger.

Xiang Zhujiu lifted her chin: "Beauty, I really want to know why you are not done with me."

He smiled wickedly, completely ignoring Xia Qinghuan's anger. Instead, he found the way Xia Qinghuan's cheeks puffed up in anger was very interesting, at least it was more lively than when she ignored him.

This is the price she pays for ignoring him.

"Be careful about your life. As long as you dare to let me stay by your side for a moment, I will find a way to make you miserable." Xia Qinghuan gritted her teeth and tried to break away from his arms.

Damn it, where does this damn prince have such strength? He can't get away no matter how hard he tries.

"Hehe... Really? In fact, it has been waiting for you. We must finish what we didn't finish that night..." Xiang Zhujiu half-draged and half-tugged her into the pavilion.

There was a hint of coldness in Yue Lingxi's eyes, but she asked with a smile on her face: "Ninth Prince, who is this girl?"

"A guest in my house..." Xiang Zhujiu replied casually.

Xia Qinghuan glared at him again: "Who is your guest? Let me go... Do you treat any guest like this?"

Xia Qinghuan looked at Xia Ling'er for help.

Xia Ling'er was speechless: "Brother Ninth, since Miss Xia is your guest, you can't keep her tied up like this. Let her sit down and have a cup of tea. And Sister Xi is here."

Xia Ling'er glanced at Yue Lingxi. Last time she heard from Sister Xi that the Emperor of Beisheng Kingdom intended to marry her to Brother Ninth. This time, she would be sad to see Brother Ninth like this.

Fortunately, there is nothing strange about Sister Xi's face. Sister Xi really understands the general situation.

Xiang Zhujiu smiled, lowered his head and whispered in Xia Qinghuan's ear: "Stay still, otherwise I will make the Tianheng Stone disappear forever."

After saying that, he let go of Xia Qinghuan. Xia Qinghuan was so angry that he sat down on the stone bench and clenched his hands tightly. He regretted it a long time ago. If he had known better, he should not have exchanged the Tianheng Stone with Xiang Zhujiu.

I was so impatient at the time that I never thought that giving him the Tianheng Stone would have such consequences.

I just want to get it back when the time comes.

Alas, I originally wanted to stay away from this bastard, but now it is impossible to distance myself from him.

"Miss Xia, let's drink a cup of herbal tea to calm down the heat. Brother Ninth is joking with you, don't be angry." Xia Ling'er picked up the teacup and handed it to Xia Qinghuan.

Xia Qinghuan forced a smile and accepted it. It was time to drink tea to calm down, otherwise Xiang Zhujiu would be really pissed to death.

He actually deliberately let her wander around alone in the garden. Oops, her ankle seemed to have been scratched by a bush.

Xia Qinghuan quietly glanced at her ankle, which was already stained red.

He picked up the teacup and was about to drink it when a big hand snatched the teacup away. Xia Qinghuan stared at Xiang Zhujiu in disbelief: "Nine Princes, am I not allowed to drink tea as a guest?"

Xiang Zhujiu put the herbal tea on the other side, stretched out his hand to take out the orange blossom tea from the teapot, and brewed it slowly.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Xia Qinghuan couldn't get an answer and was so angry that her face turned green. She didn't expect Xiang Zhujiu to make things so difficult for her.

Just when she was about to get angry, Xiang Zhujiu handed her the brewed orange blossom tea with a silly expression on his face: "I'm on my period, how can I drink herbal tea? Do you have any common sense!"

"It's because you are so angry that I want to get angry. I must drink herbal tea." Xia Qinghuan doesn't care about that much. She never paid attention to this before. She is not as delicate as these official ladies.

I was so angry that my mouth was almost on fire, so I drank herbal tea to get rid of it faster. Especially since the weather was getting hotter and hotter, who wanted to drink hot water tea?

"Don't drink it..." Xiang Zhujiu frowned, a little annoyed at why this woman was so disobedient: "Drinking herbal tea during menstruation is very harmful to the body, why don't you even know this common sense."

"I've been drinking like this since I was a kid, and now I'm in good health." Xia Qinghuan got angry and challenged him, especially after the tragic defeat just now, which made her feel very unwilling and was thinking about how to take revenge.

"Okay, okay, your pulse is very messy. Let's find a doctor to take a good look at you tomorrow. Come on, drink this orange blossom tea." Xiang Zhujiu glared at her. Although his tone was not kind, his words were full of concern.

Yue Lingxi's heart tightened. Could it be that Xia Qinghuan and Xiang Zhujiu have some unusual relationship?

She originally thought that maybe Xiang Zhujiu was just a confidante, and everyone knew that Xiang Zhujiu was romantically involved, but now she saw that Xiang Zhujiu's attitude towards her was not that of a confidante at all.

Have you ever seen Xiang Zhujiu be so kind to a woman who resisted him?

This woman was simply ignorant, but Xiang Zhujiu did not turn against her.

"Miss Xia, Brother Ninth is right. If you have menstruation, you really can't drink herbal tea, otherwise it will be bad for the future." Xia Ling'er quickly advised her.

Xia Qinghuan was puzzled: "What could be wrong?" She really didn't know. She only knew that menstruation was extremely troublesome, but she didn't expect that she had to pay attention to eating and drinking. She had been hiding with her mother since she was a child.

Who would pay attention to this?

"This..." Xia Ling'er is a princess of a country after all. There is a man present, so naturally it is inconvenient to say it directly. "It's not good anyway. Didn't Miss Xia's mother teach you?"

Xia Qinghuan's eyes darkened when she heard her mention her mother.

Xiang Zhujiugai opened the lid of the tea and pushed the tea in front of her: "Drink it quickly, you just shouted so hard, you should have drank it by now."

Xia Qinghuan glanced at the steaming tea cup: "How can I drink it when it's so hot? Let me drink herbal tea first!"

She vaguely felt that they really cared about her, so Xia Qinghuan couldn't be stubborn anymore, but she was thirsty now... She didn't know when she could drink such hot tea.

"It's so troublesome for you. Just drink the hot tea slowly." Xiang Zhujiu complained, but he brought the tea over, took another empty cup himself, and poured it back and forth between the two cups.

Xia Qinghuan pouted and looked at him in surprise. The Ninth Prince really didn't want her to drink herbal tea, so he actually made the hot tea cold himself.

Yue Lingxi confirmed her thoughts even more. It seemed that Xiang Zhujiu was interested in this woman.

She felt very uncomfortable, but she calmly teased: "The Ninth Prince is really interested in Miss Xia. He even knows when Miss Xia is menstruating."

Yue Lingxi's teasing words made Xia Qinghuan's normally normal face turn red again.

"Xi'er, if you stay in my palace for a while, I will also know if you have menstruation." Xiang Zhujiu replied calmly.

Yue Lingxi answered calmly: "Okay, I was just thinking about how to find an excuse to stay in the Ninth Prince's house."

Xiang Zhujiu smiled softly: "I have many guest rooms in my house. You can stay here as long as you want."

As he spoke, he probed the tea cup and felt that the water was no longer so hot. He handed it to Xia Qinghuan and said, "You can drink it."

Xia Qinghuan lowered her head and took the tea cup.

Xia Ling'er sighed on the side: "Brother Ninth, you are so kind to Miss Xia, Ling'er is a little bit intolerant."

Xiang Zhujiu raised his eyebrows unconsciously. Was he very nice to Xia Qinghuan? Wasn't he just a cup of tea? These women were really rare and strange.

"Then if you knew that I was interested in the girl from Goulan Courtyard, wouldn't you be more interested in... women? They are meant to be hurt."

However, women like Xia Qinghuan who are kind to her but don't know what to do with her are really rare.

When Xia Qinghuan heard what he said, she couldn't help but snorted coldly and drank tea by herself. She must not be tempted by such a man again. If he is tempted again, he is looking for death and trouble.

Xiang Zhujiu sat next to her and was very close. He could hear the cold snort clearly. Just when he thought that she didn't know what to do, the girl really glared at her.

"I poured you tea and helped you keep it from getting too hot. Why don't you say thank you?" Xiang Zhujiu couldn't hold it in anymore. What exactly was this woman dissatisfied with him about?

Even Yue Lingxi and Xia Ling'er felt that he was too kind to her. Is she a stone? Can't she feel it?

"Thank you... If you return the Tianheng Stone to me right away, I will thank you even more. Ninth Prince." Xia Qinghuan said reluctantly.

The pain coming from her ankle made her frown unconsciously.

I guess I was so focused on looking for it in the flowers that I didn't even know it was scratched to the same place.

She can endure pain very well, but she didn't expect to feel so much pain this time. She must have been seriously injured.

"Be good and obedient, and I will consider it." Xiang Zhujiu said proudly, happily grabbing a small peach cake on the stone table and eating a piece: "Hey, why are the small peach cakes so delicious today?"

Yue Lingxi laughed at the side: "Do you think the Ninth Prince is delicious? I brought this back from the Ye Sheng Dynasty."

"Oh... no wonder, I said it doesn't taste like the food cooked by the cook at home." Xiang Zhujiu said as he picked up a piece of the peach cake with chopsticks and put it to Xia Qinghuan's mouth: "Here, have a piece.

delicious."

Xia Qinghuan was feeling pain from the wound. This time he opened his mouth immediately when he saw something to eat. Maybe eating some sweets would make him forget about the pain of the wound.

But Xiang Zhujiu couldn't let Xiang Zhujiu know about her injury, lest something happen again.
