The daughter of the Marquis is too delicate, the abstinent prince pinches her waist and loves her

Chapter 119: I Know I'm Back
After a moment, Sheng Yunqing stepped out of the door with her skirt lifted.

There were crowds of people outside the mansion, and many young girls were looking at the door eagerly. When they saw that it was Sheng Yunqing who came out, they sighed in disappointment.

Li Zhiwan stepped forward and asked nervously, "Yunqing, is that jade pendant yours?"

Sheng Yunqing shook his head: "No, I'm just interested in the jade pendant."

Hearing this, Li Zhiwan nodded, sighed softly, and said, "I don't know who the owner of the jade pendant is?"

Sheng Yunqing looked at her, raised his pretty lips, and whispered, "Why? Do you like King Xian?"

Hearing this, Li Zhiwan's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She lowered her head, bit her lip, and whispered, "Don't... don't say that..."

Sheng Yunqing tutted teasingly and said, "Oh, your face is so red, you don't need to buy rouge."

"Yunqing, you are making fun of me..." Li Zhiwan raised her hand and gently pulled her sleeve.

As the two walked down the stairs, a pleasant silver bell sounded. Sheng Yunqing looked up and saw Mu Jiyue walking towards the gate of the palace. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

Mu Jiyue saw her, frowned slightly, and looked a little uneasy. As they passed by each other, he gave her a polite smile and walked in.

Sheng Yunqing rolled his eyes and saw that she had indeed come.

Prince's Mansion.

When Zhi Xing stepped into Zhaoyang Palace, she happened to see Bai Muling coming out.

She looked at Zhixing, her smile revealing an unpredictable meaning. She chuckled and said, "You're back? Are you here to pack your bags?"

Zhi Xing frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "I don't know what the queen is talking about."

After she finished speaking, she walked around Bai Muling and went into the hall.

Ye Jingnian was sitting on the throne, reading something on the desk. The room was silent, with smoke rising from the incense burner and a faint fragrance filling the room.

Zhi Xing bowed to him and said, "Your Highness."

Ye Jingnian sneered and said, "Why didn't you run away?"

Bai Muling mocked her, is Ye Jingnian the same?
Zhixing pursed her lips and lowered her head and said, "Where can Zhixing go? This is my home."

"Where's your jade pendant?"

Zhi Xing was stunned for a moment. Does he still care about it?
"I had it returned this morning without anyone noticing. King Xian doesn't know it was this slave who returned it."

Ye Jingnian's eyes dimmed a little, and he said, "I am asking about the star-shaped jade pendant that you carry with you."

Zhi Xing's heart skipped a beat, remembering when Bai Muling just walked out of the house. Did she say anything to Ye Jingnian?
She frowned nervously and said, "No...it's gone..."

With a "rustle", Ye Jingnian threw the papers on the desk towards her.

Zhi Xing was startled. What was floating in the air was the bounty order she had seen outside...

Ye Jingnian never cared about folk affairs. Did Bai Muling specially send someone to get this from the street?
She looked at Ye Jingnian in fear, but saw a look of sarcasm in his eyes as he said, "So it's a token of love."

Cold sweat broke out on Zhixing's forehead, and her face turned pale. She quickly walked to Ye Jingnian and knelt down. She looked at him with red eyes and said, "Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding." Ye Jingnian raised his hand to lift her chin, and stroked her soft lips with his rough fingertips. He smiled so hard that it made people's backs cold. "What a good way to hold the sleeves, check the voice pattern, and distinguish the old memories. Miss Zhixing's clothes soaked in rain, such a graceful voice, has made the fifth uncle obsessed with it? Tell me, what a fragrant and beautiful rainy night you spent with him?"

Tears welled up in Zhixing's eyes. She shook her head in panic, grabbed the corner of Ye Jingnian's clothes, and argued, "Your Highness, it's not what you think. King Xian and I have nothing."

Ye Jingnian chuckled mockingly and said, "I am well-informed. The Prince's Mansion is not short of women who have risen from maids to concubines. It is naturally harmless for the Emperor's uncle to play with a woman."

He leaned over to her ear and said mockingly, "You are not a concubine, and I have played with you before, haven't I?"

Zhi Xing felt a chill in her heart. She cried aggrievedly and begged, "Zhi Xing doesn't want the jade pendant anymore. Zhi Xing will never set foot in Prince Xian's mansion. Zhi Xing only wants to follow His Highness..."

Ye Jingnian looked at her with a hint of coldness in his heart, and said, "You have at least followed me for a year or so. If you are worried that your status is not high enough and you cannot marry the emperor's uncle, I am willing to do you a favor and help you create a status so that you can join the emperor with honor."

Zhi Xing's breath was choked. She lifted Ye Jingnian's hand and placed it on her cold cheek, begging, "Your Highness is Zhi Xing's master, please don't give Zhi Xing to others. This servant and King Xian are innocent. Please don't dislike this servant..."

Ye Jingnian looked at her crying, and felt an indescribable blockage in his heart. He frowned slightly, then pulled his hand back and said, "Zhi Xing, I have treated you well since you came into the palace. I naturally know your loyalty. If you really like the Fifth Uncle, you don't have to pretend in front of me. I will arrange it for you."

Zhi Xing choked up and shook her head, saying: "Zhi Xing is innocent, Your Highness clearly knows that Zhi Xing likes..."

Ye Jingnian glanced at her coldly, without any expectation for what she said.

Zhixing wanted to say something but stopped herself, bit her lips hard so hard that it hurt, then lowered her head and let out a long sigh.

How could Ye Jingnian not know her feelings? He just didn't want to know.

She raised her lips in self-mockery and said, "Your Highness, it would be useful for me to keep this servant by your side."

The girl raised her face, clenched her fists, and said with a forced smile, "It will be very useful."

Ye Jingnian closed his eyes, raised his hand to rub his temple, and said, "If you want to stay, then stay."

Zhenbeihou Mansion, back garden.

Sheng Yueying and her maid were chasing butterflies among the flowers, laughing sweetly.

Sheng Yunqing sat on the swing and read a book, looking as elegant as a painting.

Su Lan walked over quickly, glared at the corner, and said, "You stinky Taoist priest, you keep bothering me as soon as you come to the capital."

Sheng Yunqing chuckled, and gently turned the pages of the book with his slender fingers, saying: "After so many years, Senior Brother is really obsessed with you."

"Bah! Bad luck!" Su Lan snorted coldly and curled her lips in displeasure.

Sheng Yunqing closed the book and said, "How is the matter I asked you to do?"

Hearing this, Su Lan smiled, took something out of her arms and handed it over, saying, "It's done."

Sheng Yunqing looked at the star-shaped jade pendant in her hand, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, then raised his lips and revealed a satisfied smile.

"This...is this jade pendant yours, cousin?" Sheng Yueying came over with her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

"Keep it a secret." Sheng Yunqing hung the jade pendant on his belt and said, "Remember, you know nothing."

Sheng Yueying was confused, but still nodded obediently.
