Dressed as a concubine instead of a concubine

When the four of them arrived at the busiest Changchun Street, Cui Panxi wanted to get off the carriage and go out to play.

The other three naturally accompanied him.

I have to say that Cui Nanjin is really good to this sister. He always follows her closely, fearing that someone would bump into her.

"Sister Xier, if you have any favorites, tell me... Brother An. Brother An will cover all the expenses today."

Brother An? Hearing this address, Cui Panxi's eyes twitched, "No need to spend money, Your Majesty."

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. As long as Sister Xier is happy, I will be happy no matter how much money I spend."

This King Liang is really good at coaxing women.

But this woman's heart was not on him at all. No matter how much he talked, Cui Panxi's eyes were on the absent-minded Xie Junyi.

"Brother Yi, there are sugar figures over there, please buy one for me."

Cui Panxi walked to his side and acted coquettishly.

"it is good."

The four of them came to the stall selling sugar figures, and Cui Panxi exclaimed when she saw the sugar figures made by the stall owner.

"This sugar figure is really special. It can be made into a three-dimensional one."

Only then did Xie Junyi realize that this was the stall where Meng Xiyue made sugar figures for him on his first day in the city.

The boss also recognized him and said, "Long time no see, sir."

"Boss, did you figure this out on your own?"

"No, I'm old now, how could I have studied such amazing sugar painting? It was the lady who was with you who taught me how to do it and also gave me a book."

The old man took out a book and said, "The guests choose the patterns from the book, and I will make them accordingly."

Each picture in this book is a three-dimensional sugar painting, and even the parts are drawn separately.

Xie Junyi didn't even know when she did all this.

She is just like that. She seems to be indifferent, but she cares about everyone in her heart. Even if he is just an insignificant passerby, she hopes that this passerby can live a good life.

"Then please draw a peacock for me, boss."

Cui Panxi said with a smile, as if he had no idea who the stall owner was talking about.

"Wait a moment, miss. It will be ready soon."

The stall owner's painting was not very smooth and his movements were a bit slow.

Watching him drawing the sugar man, Xie Junyi couldn't help but think of Meng Xiyue's smooth movements.

She is probably the only one who can draw such a variety of patterns on a sugar figure.

I don’t know if Ziye has found her. It’s only been half a day. Where could she go?

"All right."

Cui Panxi held up a peacock candy figurine that was bigger than her face and said, "I didn't know candy figurines could be so lifelike. I can't bear to eat them."

"Royal brother, who is the lady the stall owner just mentioned?"

King Liang deliberately turned the topic to this.

"Meng Xiyue, didn't you always say that she was a distinguished guest in my house? Now you don't know about it?"

His straightforward words made Prince Liang stunned for a moment. He said it so openly, not afraid of getting Princess Rong An angry.

But when he turned around, he saw Princess Rong An seemed not to have heard him and was playing with the sugar painting in her hand.

"It turns out to be Miss Meng. I have never met her before. I will definitely pay her a visit someday when I have time."

"I am not a person of high status, so how dare I ask the emperor to visit me?"

"How can the emperor's sweetheart not be important?"

Prince Liang deliberately raised his voice because he didn't believe that the three words "Master" could leave Cui Panxi indifferent.

Sure enough, Cui Panxi looked over, but she was not angry and still spoke with a smile on her face.

"Brother Yi, this Miss Meng is really amazing. She can make sugar paintings so well. I want to meet her someday. We can definitely become good sisters."

"Xier." Cui Nanjin's face was slightly angry. How could a noble princess become sisters with an ordinary person?

What's more, they are love rivals. Even if she wants to give face to Xie Junyi, she can't let herself fall like this.

King Liang was also shocked by her words. It would have been fine if she didn't care about Meng Xiyue, but she actually said such words.

"The princess is really kind."

"Prince Liang, you are too kind."

Cui Panxi acted innocently and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what she said.

Xie Junyi didn't say anything. Looking at Cui Panxi who wholeheartedly protected him, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He could give her the position of legal wife, but he couldn't give her the love she wanted.

The few people, each with their own thoughts, walked around for an hour and then went back.

Xie Junyi hurriedly called Ziye to inquire about the situation, but still found nothing.

"Before Miss Meng left, she first went to see Mr. Zhou and then Mr. Mei. After leaving Meiran Academy, she disappeared."

"We searched both of their yards, but found nothing suspicious. Both of them were acting as usual."

As soon as Ziye finished speaking, he heard a guard outside report, "Mr. Zhou wants to see you."

Although Zhou Chengjing was Prince Qi's man, this was not made public, so he had never met him openly.

The person who came here today must not be here for official business, but who else could it be for personal matters other than Meng Xiyue?

Xie Junyi glared at Ziye.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Zi Ye felt like crying but had no tears, as he felt that Master Zhou was deliberately playing tricks on him.

"Your Majesty."

Zhou Chengjing was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the purpose of coming here."

Zhou Chengjing touched his nose and took out 20,000 taels of silver from his pocket with some embarrassment.

"This silver is returned to you by Miss Meng. I hope the prince can return the contract of sale."

Hearing this, Xie Junyi smiled, but the more he smiled, the more angry he became. "She knew that she had signed a contract to sell herself, and she ran away without thinking about the consequences."

Even though she was restricted by the indenture, she still ran away regardless. I don't know whether to say that she is naive or that she doesn't take me, the King Qi, seriously.

"The consequences? Generally speaking, after people who escape are caught, they are mostly executed. This is something everyone knows."

Zhou Chengjing answered slowly.

"Why, does she think that I dare not execute her?" Xie Junyi slammed the table so hard that the teacup rolled to the ground and shattered.

"There is nothing that the prince dares not do. She is also the one who is most afraid of death."

At this point, Zhou Chengjing smiled. He still remembered the first time he saw her, she was held hostage by a thief. She was so scared that she burst into tears and kept begging for mercy from the thief. She even took the initiative to hand over her gold and silver jewelry. She really had no backbone at all.

But even someone who is so afraid of death still wants to run away regardless of the consequences.

"Your Majesty, don't you think about why she ran away?"

"Why? You just don't want to be my concubine, but I have never said that I want her to be my concubine."

Xie Junyi felt that he had given so much for her and paved the way for her in the future, but she did not understand his good intentions at all.

Or she couldn't see it at all.

"So what does the prince want her to do? A maid who will never have a name or status?"
