Quick Travel: Redeeming the yandere villain Little Poor

Chapter 701 Coveting Father’s Concubine 12

The servants of the Xie Mansion were used to being lazy, and there was no mistress in the back house who could really take care of things. Xiao Yuzhi's sudden visit almost made everyone confused.

Xie Lin was not in the house at this time. The prince was invited to the front hall. A faint smile appeared on his lips. He gently rubbed the wall of the cup with his fingertips and said, "Don't be nervous. I came here today just to express my condolences to my wife. I'll see you by the way." When I met the eldest son of Xie Mansion."

Everyone suddenly realized that they were afraid that the condolence was just a pretense and that they really wanted to see the eldest son.

The servant was going to invite Xie Yuan, but Xiao Yuzhi stood up and said, "Just take the orphan to find him."

So the servants carefully led the prince to the madam's mourning hall.

When the news reached Shaoguangyuan, it was already an hour later.

Ji Yan thought for a while, then dressed neatly, briefly combed her hair into a bun, and then went to the mourning hall.

When she arrived at the mourning hall, no one was there. After some inquiring, she learned that Xie Yuan had gone to the Huxin Pavilion with the prince.

Ji Yan had no choice but to change her route to Huxinting.

There is a large artificial lake in Xie's Mansion. The water is crystal clear, the breeze blows, and the spring water is flowing.

A vermilion-painted four-corner pavilion was built in the middle of the lake. The four corners are like the tips of upturned wings, and each has a bronze bell hanging on it. When the wind blows, it makes a tinkling sound.

Ji Yan saw the prince and Xie Yuan sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The young man was still dressed in mourning clothes, as white as paper, with bright lips. His thick black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a white hairband, and the hair tail was swayed lightly at the waistline. He sat quietly opposite the prince.

The prince had a feminine and beautiful face, wore a black robe embroidered with gold thread, and was taller, half a head taller than Xie Yuan.

Ji Yan and Shuangshuang hid behind a rockery not far away and quietly observed the development of the situation.

Unfortunately, they were too far away to hear the specific conversation between the two.

But the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and the prince didn't seem to embarrass Xie Yuan.

Ji Yan squatted for a while and her legs felt a little sore, but the prince and Xie Yuan seemed to have the intention of having a long talk.

Ji Yan hesitated for a long time, but still wanted to inquire about the situation, so she asked Shuangshuang to prepare tea and snacks.

After burning the incense, Ji Yan walked into the Huxin Pavilion with the freshly brewed tea.

The prince was stroking his hands and laughing: "Xie Yuan, you are very pleased with me. I am determined to be my friend!"

When Ji Yan stepped in, she happened to hear the prince's words. She couldn't help but clench her fingers. Then she took a deep breath, took out a cup made of fine Hetian jade, and poured tea for the prince.

The girl was wearing a plain white skirt, her hair was in a simple bun, and she had a faint fragrance all over her body.

The prince didn't pay much attention to Ji Yan, but Xie Yuan noticed it.

His movements were slightly stiff, his eyes became extremely dark, and he pursed his thin lips and pretended not to see it.

After the tea was poured, Ji Yan took a step back, stood quietly aside, lowered her eyes and said: "Your Highness, please have some tea."

After saying that, he turned around and left. He didn't stay much longer because he was worried that there would be complications.

The prince's attention was all on Xie Yuan. He came with a purpose in mind, so he didn't notice anyone else. Ji Yan also escaped smoothly. When Shuangshuang saw that she came back safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said worriedly: "Madam, please don't do anything in the future." If we continue to take such risks, if we offend His Highness the Crown Prince, we will probably be killed."

"Well, I was impulsive just now. I won't do it next time."

She had a great attitude in admitting her mistakes, and Shuangshuang was a little bit dumbfounded.

After all, Madam is young and does not know that the imperial power is formidable, so she is inevitably a bit bold in her actions.

Ji Yan and Shuangshuang stayed there for a while, and the prince finally got up to leave. When he saw them walking out of the mansion, Ji Yan pulled Shuangshuang out and returned to Shaoguang Courtyard.

She just took the risk just to see what was going on, and was afraid that if she asked Xie Yuan in person, Xie Yuan would not tell her.

This time the prince visited Xie's mansion. Although he didn't know why, the prince did intend to ask Xie Yuan to do something for him.

Ji Yan is actually very puzzled. In the original work, Xie Yuan took part in the scientific examination at the age of eighteen and won three consecutive prizes. He was almost the youngest number one scholar in history. The Xie family used both soft and hard tactics, and finally succeeded in making Xie Yuan loyal to them.

And what was supposed to happen a year later happened a full year earlier.

Ji Yan frowned, so lost in thought that she didn't even notice when Xie Yuan walked behind her.

Until the young man whispered: "Auntie, stay."

"Huh?" Ji Yan stopped, Xie Yuan slowed down a little, his wide sleeves slightly brushed the hem of her skirt, she raised her head, "Xie Yuan?"

Xie Yuan nodded, slightly distanced himself from her, and said in a warm voice, "Why did my aunt come to Huxin Pavilion just now?"

Ji Yan looked at him, feeling strange for a moment, and then explained: "The prince wants to see you by name, I'm worried."

Xie Yuan was slightly stunned.

Ok?

The girl added: "Your father is not in the house. If you have any problems, I can't explain it to your father, so I took the opportunity to find out the situation."

"But His Highness the Crown Prince seems to be very satisfied with you, so... do you know why he came here this time?"

Ji Yan blinked and took the opportunity to talk, tilting her head to look at him quietly.

Xie Yuan looked away, his slender hairband was lifted to his shoulders by the wind, and then fell down. He did not hide it: "The prince is thirsty for talents. In recent years, he has been keen on recruiting talents. He came here this time because he wants to I play for him."

Ji Yan was stunned.

Xie Yuan continued: "My father has a neutral position in the DPRK. He has never formed a party for personal gain, nor has he favored any party. The prince also wants to start with me, so that my father has to side with him. If this happens, we will kill two birds with one stone."

Ji Yan didn't expect that Xie Yuan told her everything and didn't care whether she understood or not.

She lowered her eyes: "But I heard that there are almost no princes in the court who are capable enough to compete with the prince. The prince is also the prince, and it is almost certain that he will inherit the throne in the future. It seems unnecessary to take sides or not."

Everything leads to one result, which is also the most common thought among the officials in the court.

Anyway, no matter how you measure it, the prince will become emperor sooner or later, so there is nothing wrong with supporting him.

Therefore, there are also many supporters of the prince in the court. Ji Yan knew the plot and knew that the second prince was enough to compete with the prince, but Xie Yuan didn't know, so she wanted to hear Xie Yuan's thoughts.

Xie Yuan couldn't help but look at her. The girl's eyes were bright. Ji's thoughts were beyond the scope of an ordinary woman, not to mention that she was born in a rural area and could not even read a few words.

The young man pursed his red lips slightly and shook his head for a long time: "The forces in the DPRK are turbulent and will always be unknown until the last moment."

Since ancient times, princes have been fighting each other, each showing his own special abilities. There is no prince who is more competitive than the prince now, and there will never be one in the future.

Xie Lin was wise. He did not take sides and was only loyal to the monarch.

If the prince ascends the throne in the future, Xie Lin will naturally be loyal to the new emperor.

But now, as the chief minister of the cabinet, he will not easily get involved in the struggle for imperial power.
