Chapter 22 Training before entering the palace
After Huo Aying asked Su Jian to put the cloth away, he went straight into the room, busy drawing, cutting and comparing. He was very busy.

Perhaps her [Transparency] strategy worked, as Yimeyuan was really quiet today. She had to pay her respects to the old lady and the lady every day, but the old lady had been in the Buddhist temple recently and the lady was not willing to see her, so she skipped the greetings. This was exactly what Aying wanted.

After breakfast, I put down my embroidery needle and wanted to stretch my body when I saw Dao Sujian coming in. "Miss, Nanny Su is here."

"Madam Su?" Ah Ying was delighted.

Before Huo Aying could say anything else, a voice came from outside the door, "Is Miss Huo awake?"

Huo Aying felt warm in his heart. It was Nanny Su. He quickly said to Su Jian, "Su Jian, please go and welcome Nanny Su for me."

Nanny Su walked in with a smile, but when she saw Ah Ying, the pity in her eyes intensified a little, her eyes became hot, and she sighed, "Miss Ah Ying, we meet again."

Huo Aying's mouth drooped in grievance, "Mammy."

"Don't cry, child, don't be afraid. Now that you are home, you are not afraid anymore." The nanny has no children, but she has an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Aying.

Huo Aying choked up and looked at the nanny with tears in her eyes. She was speechless for several times. If her mother were still alive, she would definitely be as kind as Nanny Su.

"Have you been okay in the Marquis' Mansion these days?" Nanny Su asked with concern.

Ah Ying smiled sweetly, "Well, good, it must be the old lady and Aunt Su who took care of Ah Ying, right?"

Nanny Su loved to hear these words. She didn't think that Ah Ying was trying to please her. Instead, she felt that the child was smart.

"Our Ah Ying will be fine wherever she goes. The old lady is also talking about it, saying that she will have a nice welcome for you in a few days." Nanny Su lovingly brushed away a strand of Ah Ying's hair.

Ah Ying's eyes softened, and she said this from the bottom of her heart, "Ah Ying really doesn't know how to thank the old lady and Aunt Su."

Nanny Su smiled happily, "Then let's live well and be happy."

"Young lady, Nanny came here today to pass on a message. If you don't understand something, you must tell me, okay?" Nanny Su looked at Huo Aying solemnly.

Huo Aying nodded heavily.

"The Marquis has already told others that you are the distant niece of the Marquis' wife. I'm afraid you will enter the palace with the Crown Prince in the future. So, the old lady wants to find someone to teach you etiquette and dance and music. Do you understand what she is saying?" Nanny Su stared at Huo Aying closely.

"Aying understands. Please ask Madam to tell the old lady that Aying will definitely follow her instructions and will never make any mistakes." Huo Aying said softly.

Nanny Su finally calmed down and said earnestly, "There is one more thing. Nanny must let you know. The matter between you and the prince has been suppressed by the Marquis' Mansion. Just pretend that it never happened. If there is a chance, the old lady will definitely find a suitable family for you."

Huo Aying lowered his eyes slightly, "Aying understands, thank you, old lady! Thank you, nanny!"

Nanny Su turned around and told Su Jian, "Don't let anyone else enter Yimei Courtyard, so as not to bother Ah Ying."

Su Jian understood, "Yes, Ma'am."

Qiao'er kept wandering around Yimeiyuan and looked around several times but couldn't figure out what was going on. After returning to Songbaiyuan, she still didn't believe in it and asked people about the situation in Yimeiyuan.

"Madam, I haven't found out any information." Qiao'er gently rubbed Liu Wutong's shoulders.

Liu Wutong raised her eyebrows, "So mysterious?"

"Yimeiyuan is like an iron wall. The door is locked all day and night. I really can't see anything unusual." Qiao'er was a little discouraged. To be honest, she was well-informed in the entire marquis's mansion. No matter what happened, she could find out by herself. But this Miss Huo was unusual. She was very mysterious.

Liu Wutong's thoughts had already wandered as she flipped through the book. She might as well avoid provoking this Huo Aying, but she couldn't be completely ignorant of him.

After getting along with Su Jian and Shuang'er, Huo Aying could see that they were both very loyal people.

"Miss, this is the velvet flower ornament I made. Please help me present it to the prince when you meet him." Shuang'er looked very sincere.

"This is quite labor-intensive." Ah Ying didn't know how to do it, but she looked at the intricate craftsmanship of the velvet flower and thought it seemed like a laborious job.

Shuang'er waved her hands repeatedly, "No trouble, no trouble."

Then, with a look of gratitude in his eyes, he said: "I don't have anything valuable to give to the prince, but he saved my life after all, so I should at least express my gratitude."

Huo Aying looked at Ronghua carefully and asked softly, "How old are you?"

Shuang'er replied sweetly, "Eleven years old."

Huo Aying nodded in response. Perhaps it was because of the lack of nutrition, the eleven-year-old looked like eight or nine years old.

"Girl, Shuang'er feels that the prince cares about you very much." Shuang'er looked at A Ying with distant eyes and couldn't help but say. Huo A Ying smiled lightly, "You know a lot."

Shuang'er blushed and explained, "It's not that Shuang'er knows a lot, it's that the prince's behavior that day was very obvious. He was cold when he saved me, but when he heard me say that I had seen you, his eyes immediately changed, as if, as if there were stars in his eyes! Well, they suddenly became bright!"

Huo Aying's heart moved, but his face remained calm. "Okay, I understand. However, you can't say this again in the future. If others hear it, they might think we have other intentions."

"Oh."

Huo Aying stared out the window quietly, her thoughts in a mess. After being kidnapped and whipped this time, Huo Aying knew better than anyone that no matter how the situation changed, the first thing she could do was to protect herself.

After Xie Chongkun left the court, he sent Chang Yue to call Xie Chengyi.

"What did father say?" Xie Chengyi put down his weapon and asked while tidying up his clothes.

Wang Changyue bowed slightly, "The Marquis didn't say, but it looks like the situation is quite tricky."

Wang Changyue could see that the problem was probably very difficult, so Xie Chengyi said without knowing what was going on: "Let's go."

"By the way, you have to pay attention to Huo Aying and make sure no one finds out any news." After Xie Chengyi left the Marquis' Mansion, he sent Zhan Li to tell Chang Yue to pay attention to his protection.

Wang Changyue responded, "Except for the people from Songbaiyuan who asked a few questions, no one else came close."

"Okay." Xie Chengyi said in a deep voice.

Xie Chengyi entered Wenhui Hall, the study in the Marquis' Mansion, without saying anything else.

"Father." Xie Chengyi nodded slightly. Wang Changyue was waiting at the door.

"Come!" Xie Chongkun raised his hand.

After sitting down, Xie Chongkun said with deep eyes: "His Majesty said that a banquet will be held in three days. You will be ordered to enter the palace at that time."

Half of Xie Chengyi's face was hidden in the darkness, and his unclear expression made people feel cold.

"Noble Concubine Sheng also held a banquet on the same day to celebrate Princess Chuyi's birthday, and she specifically sent a message for Huo Aying to go with her!"

Xie Chengyi's face was filled with alertness, and he frowned and asked, "Noble Concubine Sheng?"

Xie Chongkun was melancholy because of this. He did not understand the meaning of His Majesty and Concubine Sheng at all. If Aying followed Chengyi, it would be fine. But if Aying went to the banquet alone, it would be full of dangers...

"But the Sheng family is setting up this?" Xie Chengyi looked at his father gloomily.

Xie Chongkun took a breath and said, "If I am convicted of deceiving the emperor, the Xie family will be finished..."

Since Xie Chengyi returned to Beijing, he should have gone to the palace to report and wait for the court's clarification, but His Majesty seemed to be deliberately ignoring Xie Chengyi. And when he went to court every day, he talked to Xie Chongkun as if nothing happened. These abnormal behaviors gradually disturbed the undercurrents in the capital, and at this time, anything could happen.

"Did Concubine Sheng invite anyone else?" Xie Chengyi seemed to remember something.

How could Xie Chongkun find out so much? He shook his head and sighed, "These are related to the harem. It's useless to ask more."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in worrying. The best thing to do is to do your own thing well." Xie Chengyi said sternly.

Xie Chongkun's eyes narrowed, "Or, once and for all, we can get rid of her and there will be no more troubles..."

Xie Chengyi's eyebrows tightened, "Father, have you forgotten what it means to be so rude?"

Xie Chongkun didn't expect his son to be so straightforward.

"The Sheng family wanted to see this kind of situation, and you just fulfilled their wish." Xie Chengyi said coldly.

"Then..." Xie Chongkun was also full of anxiety. If he was not worried about accidents, how could he have resorted to such a desperate measure.

"During these three days, you just need to tell her about Qingzhou's affairs. Just tell her that she is a distant relative and there is no need to understand the details. She is clear-headed and not an ordinary delicate woman." Xie Chengyi said.

Since his son had already said so, Xie Chongkun could not say anything else. "If that's the case, then we can just hold a banquet in the Marquis' Mansion and let all the courtyards meet her."

"it is good."

At this moment, Xie Chengyi had already begun to think about how he could ensure Huo Aying's safety, both in the mansion and in the palace...
