The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Xie Nanyuan lowered his head and glanced at the gifts, most of which were carefully selected by him.

It turned out that she had no use for any of them and kept them all intact, wanting to take the opportunity to return them to him.

He remembered that Pingning always accepted the gifts she sent to the Shen Mansion, so why didn't she accept the gifts from him?

Xie Nanyuan said with a look of surprise, "There's no reason for me to take back what I've given away."

"If you don't like it, just throw it away."

Shen Qionghua's eyes widened.

How can that be? These things are worth a lot of money. It would be a shame to throw them away.

Moreover, if she was not mistaken, some of the exquisite jewelry that was delivered later was made from the palace, and should have been awarded to Prince Rui by the emperor for disaster relief.

How could he just throw away things from the palace? Wouldn't that just be waiting for others to accuse him of disrespecting the emperor?

If Prince Rui has no use for it, he can give it to Princess Pingning. It is not suitable for her anyway.

She and Prince Rui only had a cooperative relationship, so it was no big deal for her to accept things from Prince Rui for no reason.

Shen Qionghua earnestly advised, "Your Highness, these things are of considerable value. If you have no use for these magnificent jewels, why not give them to Princess Pingning?"

"Also, don't send gifts here every now and then from now on. If someone sees you, it will lead to gossip and tarnish the prince's good reputation."

Seeing Shen Qionghua's resistance, Xie Nanyuan pursed his thin lips, and a feeling of grievance mixed with a little anger surged in his heart.

Is she so unwilling to have anything to do with him?

What if Huo Jing gave her something? Would she refuse it?

Xie Nanyuan thought so in his heart and asked it out loud.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qionghua looked at him in surprise and said, "How can you compare with Master Huo, Your Majesty?"

Mr. Huo is a reasonable and polite person. He would definitely not do such a thing, let alone say that he would throw it away if you don't accept it.

But these words had a different meaning when they fell into Xie Nanyuan's ears. His expression suddenly changed, and two clusters of jealousy flickered in his dark eyes. He stared at Shen Qionghua and approached her step by step.

"What? Are you speaking your mind? In your heart, I am not as good as Huo Jing?"

"You're worried that if I send you something, it will cause gossip. But wouldn't rumors spread if Huo Jing personally went to the Shen residence?"

"How can they be the same?" Shen Qionghua exclaimed.

Huo Jing went to the Shen Mansion to guide Ayi's studies!

Shen Qionghua completely subconsciously refuted Xie Nanyuan's words, but these words were particularly harsh to Xie Nanyuan.

"How is it different?"

"Or do you regret rejecting Huo Jing that day? Do you want to go back on your word?"

"I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you can't regret it. You can't possibly marry him! You must also accept the gifts I give you!"

Xie Nanyuan had a tough attitude, and jealousy made his originally handsome face look particularly distorted. Every time he spoke, he took a big step forward and was in front of Shen Qionghua in a few steps.

All this happened too suddenly. By the time Shen Qionghua reacted, the two were already very close to each other.

Shen Qionghua looked up at Xie Nanyuan and could clearly see the jealousy and possessiveness in his eyes.

There was a thump in my heart.

She recalled what Prince Rui had done since he entered the Shen Mansion today, as well as what Prince Rui was saying at the moment, and the absurd idea in her mind became clearer and clearer.

I was shocked and horrified.

Shen Qionghua held onto the last glimmer of hope and asked, "Prince...Prince, you don't like me, do you?"

There was a tremor in his voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

The man in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then the emotions in his eyes that were about to turn into madness disappeared completely in an instant, replaced by panic, and finally returned to calm.

Xie Nanyuan was somewhat at a loss. He stared into Shen Qionghua's eyes and said, "What if I say yes? What will you do?"

Shen Qionghua jumped back several steps like a frightened rabbit, his eyes full of disbelief.

how is it?

Not much!

How could Prince Rui like her?

Doesn't he like women?

In my previous life, I was never married and didn’t even have a concubine. Why did it change in this life?

She just wanted to take revenge and live a peaceful life with her family. She didn't want to struggle in the whirlpool of the capital.

She must not go down the same old path as in her previous life!

Prince Rui must be teasing her!

Yes, that's for sure.

Because she refused to accept his gift, which annoyed him, he played this joke to scare her.

Shen Qionghua licked her dry lips and said with a forced smile, "Your Highness, if you're unhappy, I'll just accept these gifts. You don't have to make up such a joke to tease me..."

"A joke?" Xie Nanyuan was almost laughing out of anger. "You actually think I'm joking with you?"

Xie Nanyuan clenched his fists. The woman in front of him looked resistant and unwilling to believe, which made him clearly realize that Shen Qionghua really had no feelings for him at all.

He was feeling annoyed and furious, but he forced himself to suppress it.

Things have come to this point. If he misses this opportunity, Xie Nanyuan is not sure when he will be able to say these words again, so he might as well make things clear this time.

He couldn't wait any longer, not to mention that Huo Jing was watching him closely.

He took a deep breath, forced out a kind smile, his eyes full of seriousness, and took a few steps forward and said, "I'm not joking, this is serious."

"Shen Qionghua, I am attracted to you. Are you willing to marry me?"

-

When Xie Nanyuan walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion, his face was as stinky as it could be.

Lin Ze said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, you can't blame Miss Shen for this. It was you who refused to admit it before and didn't show any signs."

"If he suddenly revealed his true feelings, wouldn't he faint out of shock?"

"I don't blame her," Xie Nanyuan muttered, "I just don't understand. I'm not some monstrous beast that would devour her, so why did she faint from fear?"

"Moreover..." Xie Nanyuan snorted coldly, "The maids around her are so bold that they actually dared to drive this prince out."

Although the words were "please", the tone and behavior between the words made it seem that saying "go away" was already considered polite.

Lin Ze remained silent.

To be honest, he felt that the prince deserved to be kicked out.

At that time, Miss Shen was talking to the prince in the house, and he and several of Miss Shen's personal maids were standing outside the door.

Perhaps the prince himself did not expect that he would suddenly confess his feelings, and the door was not closed, so the people outside the room heard it clearly.

Before I could be surprised, I heard unusual noises in the house.

Those maids were probably worried because of what the prince said, so they rushed in immediately. They happened to see the prince holding Miss Shen in his arms, and they thought that the prince wanted to take her by force.

If they hadn't noticed that Miss Shen had fainted, those maids who were protecting their master would probably have done more than just kick them out.

It was the first time in his life that Linze was kicked out, and he felt quite touched.

He looked at Xie Nanyuan, whose face was dark, and said, "Your Highness, did Miss Shen give you a reply?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Nanyuan's expression became even gloomier.

Linze immediately understood.

That’s right, he was so scared that he fainted. What kind of response could he give?

Even if there was, it would be a rejection that would hit the prince right in the heart.

Lin Ze felt that this couldn't go on. If the prince had a quarrel with Miss Shen again, wouldn't he be the one who would be in trouble?

He thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but you must not get angry with Miss Shen at this moment."

Xie Nanyuan glanced at him coldly, "What are you thinking? I'm not so petty as to get angry with her for this matter."

"Besides, I believe that as long as I treat her well, she will accept me one day."

Lin Ze's mouth twitched, but he still said in a gentle way, "Your Highness, you are right. There is still Huo Jing watching covetously from the sidelines. He has to come to the Shen Mansion every day to help Master Shen with his studies."

"You must remain calm and not let Huo Jing take advantage of the situation."

"How could I be afraid of him?" Xie Nanyuan said disdainfully.

Although he said this, his expression was somewhat solemn.

Xie Nanyuan jumped on his horse and rode back home. Suddenly, a slight movement caught his attention.

He pulled the reins, turned around and drove back for a distance, then stopped not far from the gate of the Shen Mansion.

"Your Highness?" Lin Ze called out doubtfully.

He saw Xie Nanyuan smiling and followed his gaze.

In the alley adjacent to the Shen Mansion, a richly dressed child was stuck in a dog hole and struggling.

Linze: “…”

Xie Nanyuan raised the corner of his mouth. "What did you just say? We can't let Huo Jing take advantage of the situation, right?"
