The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 186 Can you pretend?

The silk is light and thin, the gold is soft and fine, and there is a complete set of silver dishes, chopsticks and spoons... all spread out on the table.

These are the things He Songning ordered to send.

"He is very meticulous." King Xuan said in a lukewarm tone.

"Are you careful?" Xue Qingyin was surprised.

King Xuan pursed his lower lip gently and said solemnly: "He still remembers you being poisoned in the Xu family."

Xue Qingyin stretched out her hand to play with the silver spoon, then lay down on the table, turned to look at King Xuan, and whispered softly: "He can't tell what evil he is holding back."

King Xuan's tone suddenly became much calmer, and he said: "You will know after you take a look."

Xue Qingyin stood up: "Leave?"

King Xuan stood up and helped her waist from behind: "Let's go."

The two reappeared in the flower hall together.

The young man sent by He Songning was still waiting there with his head down, but as soon as he heard their footsteps, he immediately raised his head and looked towards them.

His gaze paused for a moment before lowering it again.

Even if it was only for a moment, it still seemed bold for his status.

Xue Qingyin secretly muttered, what are you looking at?

Didn't you think that we just turned around and left because we were in a hurry to quarrel?

Xue Qingyin rolled her eyes and said with a tired look on her face: "It's been a hard journey, so you should rest here for two more days before leaving."

The young man was confused: "The little man has to go back early to report to the eldest son."

"What's the rush? Wait two days and bring some specialties back to brother." Xue Qingyin rejected him.

Only then did the young man show a trace of hesitation.

But the second half of Xue Qingyin's words really attracted him...

He thought that if he could bring something back, the eldest son might be happier...

"The eldest lady has given orders, how dare I disobey you." The young man bowed in the end.

Xue Qingyin stopped looking at him and suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, when was Yun Yizi here? I didn't see him just now."

Qianzi Xuchu smiled coquettishly at the side: "We just arrived."

"I really didn't expect that my father would actually give Xingzhou to His Highness." Xue Qingyin sighed.

Qian Zixu: "Hehe, hehe, yes, yes. I really didn't expect..."

"The time has come to test you."

"Test, test?" Qian Zixu thought to himself, just tell me, what other ways are you thinking of torturing me?

"Yes, I think the location of your house is very good, why not change it to Xuanwang Villa." Xue Qingyin said without blushing.

Gan Zixu almost bursts into pieces.

At first, we just wanted money, but now we have land, but we don’t even want a house?

"I really like this place, please think about it slowly." Xue Qingyin became a bully confidently.

Qian Zixu's expression changed slightly, but he quickly suppressed it again.

He thought to himself that what you like is "doing evil" in the woods.

After Xue Qingyin said that, her face became more tired and she went back to rest.

The young man listened to their conversation silently and took note of Xue Qingyin's expression. He also wanted to record the change in King Xuan's expression, but instead of being cold, it was only colder. He was frightened to take another look, and finally gave up.

Qian Zixu stood there, covered his face and let out a long howl, muttering in a low voice: "I can't survive this, I can't survive..."

Then he quickly walked out.

He passed by the young man.

Neither of them glanced at each other.

But just when Qian Zixu was about to walk out the door, he suddenly turned around, grabbed the young man's sleeve, and pulled: "I just heard from the princess that you... you are her eldest brother's servant."

The young man had a look of astonishment on his face, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Yes. What do you want from me?"

"I wonder if Mr. Xue can control the princess?"

"...It's hard to say." After the young man finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then corrected himself: "What nonsense are you talking about? The eldest girl is a princess, and although the eldest son is an elder brother, he cannot surpass the dignity of the royal family."

Just say I can't control it.

Qian Zixu secretly gritted his teeth.

He could only hide his face and walked away wailing all the way.

The young man stared at his back twice before looking away.

The short conversation here was quickly transmitted to King Xuan by the guards.

The guard said: "In this way, the suspicion should be eliminated."

"Qian Zixu is a smart man. If the two of them don't say a word, it will look deliberate." King Xuan paused and said, "This does not rule out suspicion."

The guard responded: "The subordinate continues to stare at him."

King Xuan said calmly: "Don't keep an eye on them too closely...Always give them a second chance to speak."

"yes."

After the guards retreated, Xue Qingyin looked back at King Xuan and asked, "Will Your Highness pretend to be jealous?"

King Xuan's expression was strange for a moment.

……Pack?

Xue Qingyin: "Oh, I'm just pretending that your highness and I had a big fight because my eldest brother sent me something."

King Xuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Doesn't it seem unprovoked?"

"How could it be for no reason? Well, I'm not convincing enough. Let me think about it, just... just pretend that you suspect that I am too close to my eldest brother."

King Xuan raised his eyebrows and his eyes became darker.

"Your Highness?" "Can Your Highness be able to pretend?" Xue Qingyin felt that it was somewhat difficult to pretend with his cold and ruthless face.

King Xuan: "...I'll give it a try."

Late at night.

The other side.

Qian Zixu heard the door open.

"Is there something urgent that you have to talk about?" the visitor asked unhappily.

"Brother, this is urgent!"

"Then just say it."

"Wait... let me ask first, why did you become the eldest son of the Xue family?"

"Why do you talk so much? If you don't want to speak, then listen to me first!" the visitor interrupted.

He stepped into the candlelight.

The light illuminated his face, showing that he was a young man in the daytime.

He said: "When I came here, the master had instructions not to embarrass Princess Xuan. Just give her several hundred thousand taels."

What?

Difficult?

Hundreds of thousands taels?

Qian Zixu gritted his teeth: "A few hundred thousand taels is not enough..."

"Master knows your temper, but this matter cannot tolerate your disobedience..." the young man said unhappily.

Qian Zixu interrupted angrily: "Look carefully, does the mistress seem to be able to spend hundreds of thousands of taels? She wants millions of taels!"

The young man stood there in astonishment: "This, this...how did it become millions of taels?"

Qian Zixu followed closely and said, "I can't tell... even a few million taels won't be able to fill this mouth."

The young man hesitated and said, "Then you have to coax her."

Qian Zixu had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest.

Why do you have to coax her?

Do you want to coax her when you get to the master?
