Chapter 55 Flirt with Him
Xie Chengyi came out of the tent with a solemn and gloomy expression.
Ah Ying was originally very far away, just looking at him slightly...
"Miss." Su Jian gave Aying a cloak.
Ah Ying nodded slightly and put it on. When she raised her eyes, Xie Chengyi had disappeared from her sight.
Then, Xie Hejun came out.
Her eyes were slightly red and her face was hurt. She must have cried.
"Sister..." Meeting Xie Hejun's gaze, Aying walked over gently.
Xie Hejun had already tidied up her clothes and makeup.
Looking at Xie Hejun who was smiling so unnaturally, Ah Ying asked softly, "Is everything okay?"
Xie Hejun nodded and patted Aying's hand silently.
That’s an answer.
Perhaps because she felt that Xie Hejun was wearing too little, Ah Ying took off her cape and put it on Xie Hejun, saying with a smile, "I'm not cold, put it on, sister."
"Crown Prince's Concubine!" From a distance, concubine Liu Wutong came over with a friendly smile.
Xie Hejun's face tensed, and he said politely, "Aunt, you can just call me Hejun."
Seeing Xie Hejun's expression, Liu Wutong couldn't help but said softly, "Our Hejun is still sensible. I really have something to trouble you with."
Xie Hejun looked at Liu Wutong and said, "You go ahead."
"Oh, it's like this. Chengfeng was taken away by your eldest brother to exercise. I see that he will be bedridden again when he comes back soon." Liu Wutong complained with a worried look in her eyes.
Xie Hejun has never had a good impression of this unlearned third brother.
Liu Wutong immediately stroked her temple and said in a gentle tone, "I was thinking that if you want to improve your riding and archery skills, you need good guidance. Everyone in the capital knows that the Prince of Jinyang loves hunting, riding and archery, and the mansion has also hired many professionals. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you to open your mouth and let your son-in-law take Chengfeng to practice."
Xie Hejun's heart sank. This...
"Chengfeng can just rely on Chengyi and Chenglin for education. After all, one has to take one step at a time. It would be too difficult for Chengfeng if something too professional happens." Xie Hejun politely declined with a faint smile.
Liu Wutong's smile froze. "Look at what Mr. He said. Chengyi and Chenglin are too busy. How can they have so much time? You have to help your aunt. Otherwise, your father will have a headache again."
Even if he asked in a nice way, Xie Hejun might not agree, not to mention that his words were full of suppression.
"Aunt, you're joking. Chengfeng's problem cannot be solved in a day or two. There's no time to rush. Besides, he has a poor physical condition and he should recover first." Obviously, Xie Hejun had lost his patience.
Who knows Qiao Er said quietly: "I know that you, the Crown Prince's Consort, understand that the Third Young Master is weak. If I don't know, I would think that you dislike that the Third Young Master is a bastard? Or, is there some inconvenience?"
Xie Hejun's eyes darkened, and he immediately shouted angrily: "Asshole!!!"
Ah Ying was also shocked by Qiao'er's words, "How dare you! How can you make irresponsible comments about the Crown Prince's wife? How many heads do you have to dare to spread rumors like this!!!"
Liu Wutong turned around quickly and slapped him hard, angrily saying, "Don't you know your limits when others are gossiping like this? Apologize now!"
Qiao Er covered her burning face and kowtowed quickly, saying, "It is my fault for overstepping my authority. Please have mercy on me, Princess!"
"If the old lady is awakened, wouldn't your words hurt her heart? Can she bear it?" Liu Wutong scolded angrily, but her eyes glanced at Xie Hejun faintly.
These words were obviously meant for her to hear. If Xie Hejun made a big deal out of it, the old lady would not be able to bear it.
Xie Hejun was choked by these words and his face turned very bad.
"Madam, you can rest assured. How could my sister have such thoughts? If someone gossips like this, it should be dealt with immediately. Should we allow it to spread outside? Right, Madam?" Aying said seriously.
At the moment, Huo Aying had King Rui behind her, so Liu Wutong didn't dare to rebuke her easily and just looked at her coldly.
"Since the concubine really wants to find a teacher for the third young master, then Aying would like to make a bold suggestion. There is also a cavalry and archery captain in the Rui Palace. Why not send the third young master there and train him for three months. He will definitely be the best among the young masters in the capital!" Aying seemed very enthusiastic.
Liu Wutong glared at him. She had originally wanted to test Xie Hejun, and she was not willing to let her son suffer. Besides, was Prince Rui's mansion a place for people to stay?
"No, no, I'd like to thank Ah Ying for her kindness. He Jun is right. Cheng Feng is weak and it's too much for Cheng Lin and Cheng Yi to teach him. Haha, no need..." Liu Wutong couldn't help but sneer. Xie He Jun then said to Qiao Er, "Get out now!"
Qiao Er kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, thank you, Princess, for your magnanimity."
Liu Wutong was also bored, so she left in shame.
Xie Hejun's legs went weak and his body swayed.
Ah Ying quickly supported him and asked with concern, "Sister?"
"This Liu Wutong, she is afraid that life in the Marquis' Mansion will get easier!" Xie Hejun said gritting his teeth.
Ah Ying looked at Xie Hejun seriously and reminded her, "Sister, this lady is obviously targeting you. Ah Ying thinks you should discuss with the prince how to solve it, so that the Xu Mansion will not become a stab in the back for you and Jun Ting one day."
Xie Hejun felt cold all over. Yes, even Liu Wutong was testing her. It was obvious that many people were already spreading rumors. She had to think about what to do...
Only after waiting for Xie Hejun to rest did A Ying breathe a sigh of relief and tiptoe out of the tent.
Everyone seems to be having a hard time. Those without money want money, and the rich are scheming against each other all the time. Everyone here seems to be in high spirits.
Youyou leisurely walked to a place with beautiful scenery.
There are several stone benches and stone tables.
Ah Ying's thoughts were a little erratic at this time. She slowly sat down, folded her arms, supported her chin, and looked around aimlessly...
"It's not very safe here. Rumor has it that there might be wolves at night."
Ah Ying turned her head and saw Xie Chengyi. She looked curiously but didn't see Zhan Li. "Why are you here?"
"Just take a walk." Xie Chengyi sat casually on another stone bench.
"As long as there are wolves, there will be wolves. It would be even better if they eat me." Aying continued to hold his chin, staring and muttering.
Xie Chengyi's heart softened, "It's not like you to be so depressed."
Ah Ying smiled in disappointment, "I am a weak woman to begin with. It is not easy for me to hold on until now."
Looking at A Ying who seemed to be acting coquettishly and showing weakness, Xie Chengyi couldn't help but watch.
"Prince Rui——" After a long time, Xie Chengyi's voice sounded faintly.
Ah Ying suddenly became playful, turned his head to look at Xie Chengyi, stared at him and smiled, "Prince Rui - what's wrong?"
Xie Chengyi had been in the army for ten years, and had been immersed in men and battlefields since he was eighteen. How could he resist the flirtation of Ah Ying? He could not help but said with a serious look, "Prince Rui is playful by nature, don't be too naive."
Ah Ying couldn't help but lean closer to him, her burning eyes moving from his eyes to his nose, and then to his lips, and she said slowly with a breath: "Are you worried about me?"
Xie Chengyi's Adam's apple rolled, he straightened his body slightly, his heart beating wildly, "Yes."
Ah Ying didn't expect Xie Chengyi to speak so bluntly, so she pretended not to know and said jokingly, "Don't worry, I can hide myself well and won't let him find out my identity, and naturally I won't implicate you."
Xie Chengyi looked at Ah Ying, whose hair was fluttering and whose beautiful eyes were full of longing, and said in a slightly deep voice, "You know that's not what I meant."
"Huh? What are you worried about?" Ah Ying propped up her head and looked at him with a smile.
Xie Chengyi couldn't help but be agitated by Ah Ying's smile, "Remember, protect yourself!"
His eyes were rolling and deep. Xie Chengyi's words were spoken lightly and yet deeply. Ah Ying understood it, but if he didn't make it clear, it meant he wasn't ready yet. Why should she throw herself into the fire? She couldn't help but said angrily, "You only know how to be tough on me... I don't just throw myself at men when I see them, okay?"
Xie Chengyi blushed slightly after being teased by Aying, and turned to look at the lake.
After putting away his playful mood, Ah Ying said, "I just treat him as a friend."
Xie Chengyi's heart trembled.
Ah Ying didn't know why she said this, she just wanted him to know. As for others, Ah Ying didn't know, but for her, Xie Chengyi, who had physical contact with her, was always different from others...
Ah Ying: I'll tease you if I have nothing to do
