The abstinent and powerful minister is cold and aloof during the day, but he adores her in his dream

Chapter 331 The whole person was floating.

Zhiwan had previously promised Shuang'er that she would arrange a wedding for Shuang'er and Jiang Shi once Shuang'er's pregnancy was stable.

She remembered this matter and had Chen, the wet nurse, choose a date well in advance.

When the time came, Shuang'er and Jiang Shi got married.

Although Shuang'er was officially a maid, Zhiwan secretly regarded her as a younger sister.

Similarly, although Jiang Shi was Lu Zhan's bodyguard, the two grew up together, and Lu Zhan treated him as a brother.

Therefore, after the two got married, Zhiwan, after consulting with Wei, allocated a small courtyard for them to live in after their marriage.

On this day, the two got married, and the courtyard was extremely lively.

Zhiwan and Lu Zhan came together to drink the wedding wine and celebrate with the couple.

While everyone else was in high spirits, only Chen Jiu held Xiao Junze with a sorrowful expression.

He's not getting any younger, and even the Crown Prince and Jiang Shi have found their partners, while he's still a bachelor.

Could it be that the Crown Prince has forgotten about his marriage?
"Your Highness, Your Highness's Wife, Princess Chang Le has arrived."

At this moment, a servant came to report.

Upon hearing this, Zhiwan and Lu Zhan left first.

Seeing this, Chen Jiu picked up Xiao Junze and followed.

Hmph, the young master is too much. When he asked him to do errands before, he made such nice promises, saying that he would definitely find him a wife after the job was done. Time and time again, but in the end, he never kept his promise.

He always puts in so much effort.

To complete his mission, he even resorted to sexual favors, including seducing Xiao Junze's mother.

Ahem, we've gone off on a tangent.

In short, he had to ask the prince if he had forgotten what he said.
Lu Zhan only had eyes for Zhi Wan, especially now that she was getting more pregnant. Every time she went out, Lu Zhan was extremely careful, afraid that she would bump into something. So he had no idea that Chen Jiu was complaining about him in his heart, and he didn't even remember what he had promised Chen Jiu.

"Cousin, why did His Highness suddenly come to see me?" Zhiwan asked her cousin, somewhat puzzled.

Just two days ago, she had dinner with Princess Chang Le and Ouyang Pearl. Princess Chang Le's sudden visit to her today must mean something.

“Go and see for yourself,” Lu Zhan said.

As they spoke, the couple arrived at the front hall.

Princess Chang Le was already drinking tea.

"Your Highness, is there something important that you've come to see me about?"

Since everyone was already familiar with each other and had a close relationship, Zhiwan did not bow when they met in private.

"There is something I need your help with," Princess Chang Le said, getting straight to the point.

Zhiwan asked in surprise, "You want my help? How can I help Your Highness?"

Princess Chang Le didn't speak, but looked towards the door as if she wanted to call someone.

But before she could speak, a woman's voice said, "Is this your child?"

“Of course not!” another male voice said.

Seeing Princess Chang Le looking towards the door, Zhi Wan also turned her gaze towards the door.

Outside the door, Chen Jiu was standing there holding her cousin, talking to a girl who looked like a maid.

Zhiwan couldn't help but let her gaze fall on the maid's face.

When she came in, there was a maid standing outside the door. At the time, she thought she was a maid brought by Princess Chang Le, so she didn't look at her much.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the maid looked somewhat familiar.

Just as Zhiwan was trying to remember who the maid was, she suddenly heard Princess Changle call out, "Xiying, come in."

"Xi Ying?" Zhi Wan was taken aback, then looked at the maid in surprise. She remembered, wasn't this maid the palace maid who served the deposed crown princess?

Upon hearing Princess Chang Le's summons, Xi Ying touched the face of the child in Chen Jiu's arms and smiled at Chen Jiu, saying, "The child is well taken care of." After saying this, she turned and went into the hall.

Chen Jiu held Xiao Junze, looking somewhat dazed.

Why did she smile at him?

Is she seducing him?

He was deeply impressed by this palace maid.

She came to see the Crown Prince late at night, and he was the one who escorted her back to the Eastern Palace.

They thought they would never see each other again in this lifetime, but unexpectedly, they met again so suddenly.

Is this fate?

Chen Jiu felt that his spring had arrived.

Unable to resist, he picked up Xiao Junze and followed him inside.

As soon as he entered, he heard Princess Chang Le say to her two masters, "Zhiwan, Lord Lu, this is Xiying, the maidservant of the deposed Crown Prince's wife. Now that the deposed Crown Prince is imprisoned, Guo Yingrong, the deposed Crown Prince's wife, is also unable to get away. She asked me to bring her maidservant out."

But Xiying said she no longer wanted to serve in the palace. She said she had met you a few times and wanted to work for you. What do you think?

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Xi Ying with some surprise.

She had only met the Crown Prince's wife a few times, so why did she want to work for her?

Is it...

Chen Jiu felt his blood boiling.

Sure enough, he was quite charming and managed to win over this little palace maid.

After hearing what Princess Chang Le said, Zhi Wan looked at Xi Ying with great surprise, "You... want to work for me?"

Xi Ying did not reply immediately, but quickly glanced at Chen Jiu, and then nodded and said, "I hope that the young master's wife can accept me as her servant. I am quite diligent and will definitely serve the young master's wife well and will not disappoint her."

Zhiwan initially found it somewhat strange.

She had only met Xiying twice, so why would she want to work for her?

But when he saw her glance at Chen Jiu, he understood.

It turns out that Xiying had taken a liking to Chen Jiu, which is why she found an excuse to come to her side.

Thinking of this, Zhiwan immediately looked at Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu was staring at Xi Ying with a lovesick look on his face.

Seeing this, she smiled and did not immediately agree. Instead, she said, "Xiying, serving by my side is actually very tiring, and there are many things to do. I'm afraid you won't be used to it. How about I find you a more suitable place?"

Xi Ying was taken aback, thinking that Zhi Wan didn't want her to serve her and wanted to send her somewhere else. She couldn't help but feel anxious. "This servant, this servant is not afraid of being tired. This servant only wants to serve by the side of the young master's wife. I don't want to go anywhere else."

"Then...would you like to go work for Chen Jiu?" Zhi Wan asked with a smile.

“Of course not…” Xi Ying subconsciously wanted to shake her head, but quickly realized what she was doing, glanced at Chen Jiu, and then nodded, “This servant… is willing.”

Upon hearing this, Princess Chang Le finally understood why Xi Ying insisted on serving Zhi Wan.

So she's taken a fancy to Chen Jiu, the bodyguard by Lu Zhan's side?
She looked at Xiying with some surprise, then at Chen Jiu, who was tall and burly.

Xi Ying's flavor... is quite unique.

When Chen Jiu heard Xi Ying say she was willing to come to his side, he felt like he was floating on air.

Does this mean he'll soon have a wife?

Princess Chang Le coughed lightly and said, "Xi Ying, since this is your choice, I will not say anything more. I wish you happiness."
