Xiao Wangye changed his clothes and came out. For some reason, he felt that the butler seemed to want to say something but stopped. Just as he was about to ask,
Murong Yun saw Xiao Wangye and immediately walked to his side, "Brother Xiao, let's go quickly."
The butler immediately stopped moving forward, standing on the side.
Xiao Si had been helping Xiao Wangye change inside and hadn't paid attention to the commotion outside. However, as he passed the butler, he noticed that the butler's face, which was already wrinkled like an orange peel, seemed even more wrinkled.
Hmm, it seems like I need to pay attention to whether there's any ointment I can apply to him later. After all, he is the king's butler, and he needs to pay attention to his image.
Xiao Wangye, with his meticulous attention to detail, realized that something had happened while he was inside changing.
While getting into the carriage, he exchanged a look with Xiao Si. Although Xiao Si was still young, he was quite astute and immediately knew it had something to do with the butler.
So, he asked another guard to let the prince go first and went to find the orange butler to clarify.
"Miss, will there be any major problems if we stop the princess like this?" the maid, who had been speaking arrogantly in front of the guard, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"What are you afraid of?" Murong Yun stood in front of the carriage, gently touching her hairpin and tidying her hair, exuding the demeanor of a noble lady.
"Would Brother Xiao blame me for this?"
Ye Qingcheng is just my substitute, only holding the title of princess. I am the one Brother Xiao loves. Today, at the tea party, I will make sure everyone sees it clearly.
Ye Qingcheng led her horse out of the inn and then hurried to her master's residence. As soon as her master heard that someone needed to be found, he immediately mobilized his disciples to search. Xu Qiange also heard that Bi Xi was missing and mobilized the yamen's constables to search together.
Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but sigh. Since learning of Bi Xi's disappearance, the urgency and guilt in her heart had been overwhelming.
Bi Xi is still so young, and I actually put her in danger. What kind of good sister am I? I clearly vowed to take care of Bi Xi like a sister.
Bi Xi, you must stay alive.
Qingshan Tea House was holding a tea ceremony competition today, and many famous scholars and dignitaries would be present to appreciate it.
Many luxurious carriages were parked in front of the tea house, and many dignitaries and celebrities wanted to take this opportunity to market their image.
Murong Yun alighted from the carriage, immediately tidied her skirt, and walked towards the carriage in front. Xiao Wangye's coachman brought out a wheelchair from the carriage, and the guards in front immediately helped Xiao Wangye down.
Many people looked sideways at the entrance of the tea house. Xiao Wangye's expression remained unchanged, and he dealt with the surrounding discussions calmly.
However, Murong Yun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by the strange glances from the people nearby and instinctively stopped.
Although Xiao Wangye is lame, his power and his devoted love for her in his past life are enough.
Thinking of this, Murong Yun took a step forward again.
"Didn't the prince's leg injury flare up yesterday? Why is he out today?" A voice came from behind the carriage, followed by two hands resting on Xiao Wangye's wheelchair. The guards made way for the newcomer.
"Has the princess returned?" Xiao Wangye didn't turn his head. He had felt Ye Qingcheng nearby, but he hadn't expected her to come.
"How can the prince come to appreciate tea without calling me?" Ye Qingcheng leaned closer to Xiao Wangye, appearing like an intimate couple whispering to each other to outsiders.
Murong Yun couldn't stand this scene. "Princess sister is here," she walked over and interrupted them, standing beside Xiao Wangye.
"Yesterday, Brother Xiao's old ailment recurred. When Yun'er went to visit, she heard that Princess sister had gone on a trip. That's why we didn't invite Princess sister to the tea party today with Brother Xiao."
Murong Yun lifted the hem of her clothes and looked at Ye Qingcheng, "Princess sister shouldn't take such a trivial matter to heart, right?"
The tea fragrance is indeed intoxicating. Ye Qingcheng stood up straight. During this period of collecting herbs, consulting, and self-cultivation, her body had grown a lot.
Although not as good as in the apocalypse, she still had a significant advantage over Murong Yun.
"How could I? I heard that the prince's old ailment recurred and I rushed back immediately. Seeing that the prince is well, I am relieved."
Seeing Ye Qingcheng's virtuous and proper appearance, Murong Yun was stunned. Why was this woman different from before?
Moreover, when did Brother Xiao and she become so close? Murong Yun's eyes were pricked by the intimate actions of the two.
"Princess sister, it's good that you're here. There are many good teas at today's tea party, and also the Moon Tuan that Brother Xiao likes to drink." Murong Yun said as she observed Ye Qingcheng's expression.
She knows Brother Xiao's preferences like the back of her hand. How much do you, a princess who came halfway, know?
After returning to the king's mansion, Ye Qingcheng understood that Murong Yun had deliberately blocked the guards.
She thought to herself: I didn't want to get involved with you, but you insisted on bothering me first, so let's be unhappy together.
Doesn't Murong Yun love to show everyone how special Xiao Wangye is to her? Then I'll let her show it to her heart's content in front of me, the princess.
"It seems Miss Murong is very clear about the prince's preferences." Ye Qingcheng smiled at Murong Yun. "Even when I was still in my maiden chamber, I heard about the deep friendship between Miss Murong, the prince, and the Prince of An. Seeing you today, it is indeed true."
Murong Yun's lips stiffened. That scumbag was a topic she least wanted to mention, and bringing it up in front of Xiao Wangye made it even harder for her to remain calm.
Xiao Si also followed the princess back to the mansion to the tea house. Seeing the love-hate drama between the two women and one man, he didn't know whether to come forward.
Xiao Wangye noticed Xiao Si beside him. Under Xiao Wangye's stern gaze, he could only shrink back and report what he had heard from the butler.
Seeing Xiao Wangye's expressionless face, Xiao Si couldn't make up his mind. "Your Highness, should we send more people to help the princess find someone?"
"No," Xiao Wangye said. He picked up the jade thumb ring in his hand and tapped it three times on the armrest of the wheelchair. "Go."
"Are you saying to help the princess?" Xiao Si scratched his head. He had just said no.
"I wasn't talking to you," Xiao Wangye glanced at him and put the jade thumb ring back on.
Xiao Si came to his senses. So he was talking to the other hidden guards. The prince was sending hidden guards to help the princess find someone.
Seeing more and more people at the entrance of the tea house, and occasionally casting sidelong glances at them, Murong Yun felt displeased.
"Brother Xiao, Princess Sister, let's go inside quickly. The tea party should be starting."
Ye Qingcheng was indifferent. What was wrong with people looking? It wouldn't cost her flesh. Girls are still shy.
It's not that she's boasting, but she struggled to survive in the hell of the apocalypse until she was 30 years old. She had long been accustomed to human ugliness and deception. Her psychological age was more than 30.
Murong Yun, before her rebirth, had barely lived to 20. In Ye Qingcheng's eyes, she was still a little sister.
The confrontation between Ye Qingcheng and Murong Yun temporarily came to an end.
The proprietor of Qingshan Tea House had been waiting by the side for a long time. Seeing that the group was finally about to enter the tea house, he quickly stepped forward to greet them.
