Chapter 288 The Unavoidable Invitation
Xie Yuan took people to the Yamen of Yousi to register his name and report, and handed over the memorial to be summoned by the emperor after reading it.

Not surprisingly, the official who received her memorial sized up and flattered her again.

Xie Yuan reluctantly curled the corners of his lips and squeezed out a smile, expressing his politeness, and took the opportunity to leave.

When he walked to the gate of the yamen, he happened to meet a woman who walked in with her head held high and her chest held high, passing by Xie Yuan and his group.

If Xie Yuan hadn't taken the initiative to dodge, they would probably have bumped into the woman according to her sideways posture.

Xiao Erdan turned his head to look at the woman's back, curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice:

"Look at her proud appearance, her eyes are on the top of her head, and she doesn't look at people when she walks. What's so special about her!"

Xie Yuan frowned, and explained to Xiao Erdan impatiently: "Looking at her clothes, she should be a female official in the palace. Just get out of the way, and you talk too much. If you talk so much, you can go back first."

Xiao Erdan was a little unconvinced when he heard that, and said, "A court lady's eyes are so tall? General, your rank is not higher than hers. I just can't bear others to despise you."

Xie Yuan sighed deeply when he heard this, and stood still outside the yamen, with one hand on the hilt of the sword and the other on his waist, thinking about how to teach Xiao Erdan to make him grow up.

Sun Tian next to him said: "This is the capital city, it's no better than being in a military camp. Maybe you bump into someone on the street, and the relationship will reach heaven, let alone a female official in the palace? Assholes, as foreign ministers, we should be careful." Order."

When Xie Yuan heard it, she said everything she wanted to say.So he pointed at Xiao Erdan threateningly with his finger and said:
"Sun Tian is right. Pay attention to your mouth, I really wanted to beat you up on the street just now."

Xiao Erdan looked at Xie Yuan's trembling lips, and looked like he was about to cry because of grievances. He was just about to say a few words to defend himself, when Xie Yuan went on to say:

"I know you are complaining for me, but I don't need you to hug me. If I can't bear it, I will do it myself!"

After finishing speaking, a pair of red phoenix eyes stared at him fiercely, revealing domineering.Only then did Xiao Erdan bow his head submissively, and said peacefully:
"I know the general."

Only then did Xie Yuan feel relieved, and he was about to get on his horse and leave here to find his master.

Unexpectedly, just as the group of people turned over and sat on the horseback, the proud female officer ran out of the yamen in a hurry, looked around, and then ran towards Xie Yuan and the others:

"Wait! Is this the newly promoted Zhonglang General Xie Yuanjie?"

The female officer's face was full of smiles at this time, and the joyful light in her eyes could warm people up, she was completely different from the appearance when she just entered the door.The boys who had been fighting all the time were stunned and didn't know how to react.

Xie Yuan frowned even more, thinking that she came here just because of his reputation, because of curiosity or some other reason, she came to talk to him to get close.

So Xie Yuan didn't get off the horse, but pulled the rein, turned the horse around, and said politely:

"Sister, I just happen to have some important matters, why don't we talk about it another day."

As he said that, he was about to take people away.

The palace lady was anxious when she heard that, she rushed to Xie Yuan's horse, stopped him with her arms outstretched, and said with a smile:

"General Xie misunderstood, I am the female officer of Princess Huaizhen's mansion. Our princess heard that you are going to Beijing, and has been waiting for you. Let me come to the Si Yamen every day to ask. This time I finally waited for you. Come along with me." I'll go see her."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he pursed his lips and looked displeased as the female officer remained silent for a long time.

The soldiers behind her all showed unbearable expressions.

"I really have something important to do." Xie Yuan held back for a long time before choking out this sentence.

The female officer withdrew her arms, held her hands in front of her body dignifiedly, raised her face and said with a smile:

"What important matter can General Xie have that can be compared to being invited by the Princess Princess?... Now I can't go to the palace to see His Majesty immediately."

Xie Yuan froze, thinking that it was true, she was the emperor's daughter, except for moving out the emperor's father, that is to say, the prince could overwhelm her.

But she just reported that she didn't know any of the princes, and she couldn't even find an excuse to shirk.

So Xie Yuan thought and thought, and then said: "... I would like to ask the female officer to tell the princess that I will go to her mansion to meet her. If I don't agree with the etiquette, I'm afraid I will be criticized, so I don't want to go."

When the female officer heard this, the friendly smile on her face immediately turned into a sneer, and then changed into that arrogant look with her eyes raised above her head, she raised her chin and snorted coldly and said:
"When did our princess care about this? General Xie doesn't have to think so much about our princess. Could it be that he looks down on Tian's daughter and is unwilling to go?"

Xie Yuan was speechless, the horse under his crotch seemed to feel Xie Yuan's anxiety, snorted and shook his head, and the horse's hoof stomped a few steps.

Sun Tian saw that Xie Yuan was frowning with impatience and refused to speak, so he leaned into her ear and reminded her in a low voice:

"General, why don't you go there? How can you hide here? At worst, you'll leave her house this time, so she won't be able to find it."

Xie Yuan had no choice but to let out a sigh of relief and said: "Please lead the way."

When the female officer heard this, she immediately smiled again, like a flower, she turned around and walked towards a carriage parked beside her.

Xie Yuan followed the carriage and walked slowly for a long time, until Xie Yuan's patience was almost worn out, and he stopped on a street near the palace gate.

The female officer got out of the car first, and said a few words to the gatekeeper as soon as she entered the door. The gatekeeper glanced at Xie Yuan, and immediately pointed to a young man, who immediately ran to report the letter to the backyard.

"Everyone is exhausted from the journey, and you haven't had time to freshen up and eat. Come, come, besides getting to know the general, everyone, come with me. There are already arrangements in the mansion." The female officer warmly greeted Xie Yuan's soldiers.

Xiao Erdan and the others took a look at Xie Yuan, and seeing that she had no objection, they followed the female officer away.

Then a little maid bowed her head to Xie Yuan and took her inside.

Princess Huaizhen was taking a nap, when she heard the porter say that Xie Yuan was coming, she hurriedly called for someone to come and dress her up.

But sitting in front of the dressing table, the maid had just combed her hair. When she looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes suddenly lit up, stopping the process of dressing, and decided to just let her black hair loose to see Xie Yuan.

So the first time Xie Yuan saw Princess Huaizhen, she was wearing the comfortable clothes indoors with loose hair.

If Xie Yuan was really a man, he should have panicked at this moment, and then he covered his eyes and walked out of the door, chanting non-stop that he was rude, and his heart would inevitably be pounding because of such "seduction".

But Xie Yuan is a girl... Although she has no habit of dressing up since she was a child, she is used to seeing her mother's daily life, and she doesn't have the heart to like women...

So she just held a calm face and looked at the princess without any suspicion.

But she was like this... the princess was completely confused.
