The prince kneels every day. Has the princess forgiven him today?

Song Wenyi looked a little embarrassed, not knowing how to respond to the prince's words, and his eyes moved around the faces of the other people.

I understand this is a must-see!

"Your Majesty, this way please."

Song Wenyi gave up struggling and led the way for Xie Chengqian.

Song Xiwan followed silently, and gave his elder brother a special look when passing by. This opportunity that was not easily created must be seized.

A hint of darkness flashed in Song Junling's eyes, and his face was tense until the few people left.

Only he and the third princess were left in the corridor.

The two were speechless for a moment.

Xie Qingyuan appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually extremely nervous. The oppressive feeling that permeated the silence made her feel a little at a loss.

"I……"

"you……"

The two wanted to speak to ease the atmosphere, but their voices overlapped and they subconsciously paused, looking at each other in surprise.

Xie Qingyuan met his calm eyes and smiled faintly, "Mr. Song, have you been very busy these days? You haven't been to Yaoyue Residence for quite some time."

Song Junling was slightly startled, his throat dry and hoarse, "The Third Princess wants to see me for something?"

"Well, I've made some adjustments to the mechanism I designed earlier, and I'd like Mr. Song to help me take a look."

Xie Qingyuan answered very naturally, but only she knew that these were just excuses.

The mechanism has already been finalized, and the improvements are just some details, which won't be much different from what the two of them originally worked out together.

Song Junling believed it, and a trace of loss flashed across his eyes.

It turned out to be about the agency.

He forced a faint smile and politely replied, "I've been a bit busy lately. I'll definitely go to Yaoyue Residence when I have time."

There is a sense of distance between the words.

Xie Qingyuan curled her fingertips slightly. She didn't like this feeling from the bottom of her heart, but she knew that this was the original state between them.

She lowered her eyes and said in a very calm voice, "Okay, thank you for troubling Master Song."

The atmosphere was silent again.

Song Junling stared at the third princess's face, some words already welling up in his throat. He wanted to ask her what she thought about the queen's suggestion.

But in the end he didn't say anything and just played the role of a good host and took her to the front hall to entertain her.

The news soon reached Song Xiwan's ears.

She revealed a look of frustration and helplessness, raised her eyes and quietly glanced at the two people in front of her who were admiring calligraphy and painting, muttering softly, "Such a good opportunity wasted."

Qiu Zhu looked curious, "What opportunity do you mean, young lady?"

"It's okay. Dinner time is almost here. Go and help prepare it."

Song Xiwan knew that his elder brother was like this by nature, and the situation in the palace was unclear, so it was normal for his elder brother to have concerns.

But no matter what the queen says, the third princess is a sensible person, and the eldest brother doesn't need to be so cautious.

On the other side, Xie Chengqian had already noticed her situation, so he exchanged a few words with Song Wenyi and ended this hasty appreciation of calligraphy and painting.

Song Wenyi felt relieved and said quickly, "It's really getting late. I still have to go see how the kitchen is preparing. The prince will ask Xiwan to take you around the mansion."

"it is good."

Xie Chengqian nodded, and Song Wenyi left in a hurry.

This scene fell into Song Xiwan's eyes. She looked at Xie Chengqian who was walking towards her in confusion, "What happened to my father?"

Xie Chengqian said bluntly: "I am ashamed of myself."

Song Xiwan was filled with surprise.

What is this nonsense?

Xie Chengqian reflected on himself, "It's my fault. When I was reading it just now, I wanted to help you delay time, so I said a few extra words. Lord Song didn't like it, but he didn't seem to dare to refute it."

Song Xiwan burst out laughing. She knew that her father was humble, but he still had the pride of a scholar.

She suddenly realized, "Is this the reason why Dad didn't want you to appreciate it in the first place?"

I heard that Xie Chengqian was gifted since he was just starting out, and was no less capable than some other teachers in arguing, so I was determined to win the argument.

But his angle was tricky and the questions he raised were particularly difficult.

Over time, naturally no one would bother to discuss talent with him, King Xuan.

Song Xiwan thought of her father's hurriedly slipping away, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, sweeping away the slight depression that her elder brother had just brought her.

Xie Chengqian nodded helplessly, "That's what you think. I should pay attention to it."

"No problem, it's time to go to the front hall."

Song Xiwan relayed Qiu Zhu's news to him, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "Why didn't I realize that Big Brother was so timid before?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand was held tightly in Xie Chengqian's. A warmth came from his palm, making her subconsciously want to retract it.

However, Xie Chengqian increased his strength even faster, preventing her from escaping.

Song Xiwan widened her eyes slightly, then looked around guiltily. Even though there was no one around, she was still nervous.

She whispered, "This is not the palace!"

Xie Chengqian raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is it okay in the palace?"

Song Xiwan couldn't keep up with his train of thought, and her eyes were full of astonishment. Weren't they discussing the matter of the eldest brother and the third princess just now?

How did it become a place where you can get bored?

Xie Chengqian saw the doubt in her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "We can't interfere in other people's affairs."

Moreover, he also didn't want Xi Wan's mind to fall on someone else. It would be great if she only had him in her eyes and heart.

Song Xiwan didn't understand what Xie Chengqian meant. She simply thought that he said that because he felt that too much interference from outsiders would affect his eldest brother and the third princess.

She thought about it carefully and nodded, "You're right."

Not noticing that the man in front of him had darkened his eyes, he pretended to casually mention what Song Wenyi had said, "Just now, Lord Song asked you to take me around the Song Mansion."

Song Xiwan glanced at him and said, "You are very familiar with this place, why are you still shopping?"

"I'm not familiar with it. I only know where your yard is."

Xie Chengqian was frank.

But these words made Song Xiwan's cheeks turn slightly red, and she wanted to reach out and cover his nonsense mouth!

So loud and glorious?

Under Xie Chengqian's soft and hard persuasion, Song Xiwan had no resistance and could only take him for a stroll during dinner.

The Song Mansion has a profound heritage, and the mansion was built by the grandfather's generation. It has been renovated over the years, but the place is still very large.

It took about half an hour to walk around, so Song Xiwan decided to just take a leisurely stroll.

Xie Chengqian was quite considerate. "There seem to be a few plum trees behind your yard. They should be in bloom by now. How about taking a look at those?"

Of course Song Xiwan was happy to do that, as she didn't have to keep walking around.

But why am I looking at plum blossoms for no apparent reason?

There are only a few of them, and they are not rare varieties. What kind of plum blossoms has Xie Chengqian not seen?

Song Xiwan still took him there despite this doubt. This was transplanted to her by her mother a few days ago, just to suit the occasion.

It did bloom, and it was beautiful.

"You like plum blossoms... ugh!"

When Song Xiwan turned around to ask him, he bent down and kissed her.

She was stunned at first, and then realized that Xie Chengqian didn't want to see the plum blossoms at all!

It’s just a quiet place to act like a hooligan!
