Chu Jing ordered the maid to lift the curtain of the carriage, only to see Xie Qiheng reining in his horse and standing in front of the carriage, looking aggressive and blocking the way.

Chu Jing got out of the carriage and asked, "What are you doing, my prince?"

Xie Qiheng immediately dismounted, walked quickly to the front of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Princess, please don't be offended. I just want to invite you to sit in the teahouse for a while. I have something to tell you."

The teahouse was nearby, and Chu Jing followed Xie Qiheng to the teahouse.

Upstairs wing room.

Chu Jing followed Xie Qiheng into the side room. The maids Zhirong and Yu Jin were about to follow them in, but were stopped outside the door by Xie Qiheng's guards.

Yu Jin frowned slightly, and Zhi Rong immediately called out to Chu Jing, "Princess!"

Chu Jing saw her two personal maids being stopped outside the door. She looked at Xie Qiheng and asked, "Why did the prince stop my maids outside? It's not right for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room, right?"

Xie Qiheng glanced at the door. Chu Jing's two maids, Yu Jin, were calm, while Zhi Rong was impatient, but they were both carefully selected by General Xia and were loyal to Chu Jing.

At this time, they were naturally wary of him as an outsider.

"Don't be afraid, Princess. With me here, who dares to do anything bad to you?" Xie Qiheng gestured to the two guards, and the guards closed the door.

"Since this matter is not suitable for outsiders to know, I can only ask the princess's two maids to wait outside the door for a while."

Chu Jing looked at Xie Qiheng with caution.

Is there anything else between the two of them that cannot be known to outsiders?

Besides, Zhirong and Yujin are her personal maids and are loyal to her. Who is the outsider in this room?

"Princess, please!" How could Xie Qiheng not notice the vigilance in Chu Jing's eyes? He sneered in his heart. He was sincere and handsome, so why was she so wary of him?

Is it because of the Treasure Pavilion incident?

You clearly said you wouldn't care anymore.

Xie Qiheng originally wanted to say something more, but seeing this situation he could only get straight to the point. He took out a long and narrow wooden box, placed it on the table, and pushed it to the center of the table with both hands.

"I'm in a hurry to stop the princess today just to ask for something!"

When Chu Jing opened the box, he saw a jade hairpin inside. The jade was transparent, without any impurities or flaws. The craftsmanship of the person who made the hairpin was even more exquisite. The flowers carved on the hairpin head were lifelike, and the patterns on the hairpin body were even more exquisite.

Chu Jing only took a few glances and knew that this must be no ordinary thing.

"Since the prince is asking for something, why did he show me the hairpin?"

Xie Qiheng glanced at Chu Jing's head and said with a smile, "The princess just said she had no hairpin to give me, so I found a hairpin to exchange for the one on your head, so I'm asking for something."

"Is the princess still going to refuse?"

Xie Qiheng was pressing forward step by step and even prepared everything, leaving Chu Jing with no excuse to fool him.

Being pressed like this, even the best-tempered person would lose his temper.

Chu Jing was not greedy for the valuable hairpin that Xie Qiheng brought, and she really didn't want to give it to him at this moment.

Of course, she never thought of giving her belongings to others from the beginning to the end.

Chu Jing was now forced to come clean, "I only said I wanted to give you a hairpin, not the one I've worn."

"If the prince urgently needs this hairpin, I can go to the shop on the street and buy one to fulfill the bet!"

Xie Qiheng guessed that it probably wouldn't be so smooth, but what he wanted was Chu Jing's hairpin, not something he just bought on the street.

"Is the princess going to cheat?"

Chu Jing just looked at him without saying anything, but his meaning was very clear.

Who is Xie Qiheng? Who can cheat better than him? Besides, he can be shameless, but can Chu Jing be?

Xie Qiheng: "If the princess insists on doing so, then I will have no choice but to go and get it another day! If the princess wants to use anything she wants and then sends me away, then I will have no choice but to let everyone in the capital know that the princess owes me a hairpin!"

"You!" Chu Jing was stunned by Xie Qiheng's roguery.

Xie Qiheng looked at Chu Jing's angry expression with a smile, and said with determination: "This hairpin from the princess, I want it!"

He gestured to Chu Jing with his hand: "Princess, please!"

Zhirong and Yujin were waiting anxiously outside the door. Not long after, Chujing came out.

They immediately looked Chu Jing up and down. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with her, except that the princess did not look very good.

They turned around to look at Prince Cheng, who was smiling like a flower, with the word "happy" almost written on his face.

Zhirong asked worriedly, "Princess?" Could it be that Prince Cheng was bullying her princess?

But I didn't hear any quarreling inside just now.

I never expected that someone could actually make the princess angry?

Isn’t he afraid that the princess will go back and complain?

Chu Jing knew that the two maids were worried about her, so she said to them, "It's okay, let's go back home!"

"Yes!"

Zhirong and Yujin followed Chujing downstairs and returned home.

After returning to the mansion and entering the courtyard, Yu Jin asked cautiously, "Princess, where is your hairpin?"

One of the hairpins on the princess's head had been replaced. Although they were both jade hairpins, Yu Jin remembered that it was not the one the princess wore when she went out in the morning.

Chu Jing certainly knew that this matter could not be hidden from her two personal maids, after all, they were the ones who managed these things.

"Lost!" Chu Jing got angry when he thought about it.

At that time, she had no choice but to change the hairpin and give it to Xie Qiheng.

Xie Qiheng was so happy when he got the hairpin. After getting it, he didn't put it into the hairpin box but wrapped it with a silk handkerchief and put it in his arms!

Chu Jing remembers the situation clearly!

It is said that the ancients were reserved, but Xie Qiheng has nothing to do with these two words!

Even if he were to live in later times, he would still be a gangster!

Of course, Chu Jing would never tell these things to anyone else. No wonder Xie Qiheng said at the time that outsiders must not know about it, haha!

Lost?! These two words flashed through Yu Jin and Zhi Rong’s minds, and they immediately understood where Chu Jing’s hairpin had gone.

It turned out that he was replaced by Prince Cheng.

Zhirong immediately said: "Princess! How could you give the hairpin to Prince Cheng? That is..."

That hairpin was not bought from an ordinary shop, but was one of Xia's mother's dowry.

Jewelry of this level is limited and accurate one to one!

Chu Jing had no choice. Xie Qiheng insisted on having this one, otherwise he would try to snatch it away by force.

She can't call anyone, is this a glorious thing?

Chu Jing could only comfort the little maid, "It's okay, it's okay. This one you got in exchange is better than that one."

Zhirong was crying. Is this a good thing? My little princess!

Chu Jing saw that Zhirong and Yujin both had bitter faces, and knew that this matter was no trivial matter.

She said, "Don't worry, I will tell my father and ask him to find a way to get the hairpin back for me!"

Chu Jing first told Xia's mother about this matter, and Xia's mother immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Prince Cheng? How did you meet? How many times have you met? Tell me everything, don't leave anything out!"
