The foolish king's contract princess

Chapter 33
Three years later, the east courtyard of the palace.

"Little girl, you are finally back," Gong Yanhao smiled gently at Nan Mengjie.

"You miss me so soon," Nan Mengjie teased Gong Yanhao after sitting down.

"You've been away for so long this time, aren't you afraid of Ye Yuchen making trouble?" Gong Yanhao directly skipped Nan Mengjie's teasing, but he really wanted to say 'yes'.

This time, Nan Mengjie left the capital for half a month to expand her business. This was also the first time she had been away for such a long time.

"There's nothing you can do about it. This is the first time I've entered the Nanzhou Kingdom. I'm definitely going to check it out. If the emperor's birthday wasn't approaching, I wouldn't be back so soon."

During the past three years, Nan Mengjie has been very busy. She kept expanding her business. Now the four industries have spread all over the country, and more people are starting to wonder about Lanying's true identity.The matter of Nanzhou Kingdom has not yet settled down, so Ouyang Ling and An Zixing stayed there. For the emperor's birthday five days later, Nan Mengjie had to rush back to the capital ahead of schedule.

"The matter is not over yet," while Gong Yanhao was speaking, Qingzhu brought tea and pastries.

"Qingzhu," Nan Mengjie stopped him seeing Qingzhu about to leave, threw him a short and delicate dagger and continued, "This is a gift for you. This dagger is extremely sharp, so be careful when using it."

"My gift?" Qingzhu was a little surprised when he received the dagger, this was the first time Nan Mengjie gave him a gift on purpose.

"Yes, so, treat me better when I come here." After speaking, Nan Mengjie took out another package and handed it to Gong Yanhao, saying, "This is for you."

Gong Yanhao opened the package and found that inside was a crescent-colored robe with lotus flowers embroidered with silver thread, which felt smooth and cool to the touch.

"This is made of the finest ice silk."

Gong Yanhao didn't expect Nan Mengjie to give him this. Ice silk is the silk spun by ice silkworms. The so-called ice silkworms are silkworms that have been fed with Tianshan snow lotus, so ice silk is hard to find.Ice silk is not easy to come by, so the first-class ice silk is even more rare.

"For you to know the goods, I found out about this ice silk by accident, but it took me a lot of effort to get it," Nan Mengjie said after taking a sip of tea.

"One horse? It seems that you even made yourself a dress," Gong Yanhao asked Nan Mengjie sideways.

"What, how can I have one, you and An Zixing each have one," Nan Mengjie rolled her eyes at Gong Yanhao while speaking.

"How do you know my size? Also, you gave me such an expensive gift, so what are you going to give Ye Yuchen?" Gong Yanhao pretended to ask casually.

"I guessed your size, but it should fit you well. As for Ye Yuchen, it's an ice silkworm belt and a warm jade hair crown. Although this warm jade is also very precious, it is far inferior to the ice silkworm. So when you cooperated with me at the beginning, you made the right choice. Let’s talk about the inkstone I brought you last time, it’s not cheap.”

In the past three years, Nan Mengjie occasionally brought some gifts to the people around her, Gong Yanhao mostly brought common things, and Ye Yuchen mostly brought delicious and fun things.

"These are all compensations. I regretted signing the contract back then." Gong Yanhao was very happy when he heard Nan Mengjie's words, and began to tease Nan Mengjie.

"I reminded you specifically at the beginning, but don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. Just let Qingzhu guard the Yanyu Building for a month, and the chances of Qingzhu to come forward are few and far between. Just like this, you still have to take so much money every month. Yinzi, please be content," Nan Mengjie retorted Gong Yanhao with her lips pursed.

Gong Yanhao looked at Nan Mengjie's expression and unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch her head.In the past three years, Gong Yanhao has long been used to Nan Mengjie hanging around him. He likes Nan Mengjie, and his heart is more determined than three years ago.

"Xiaochun, what's the matter?" Xiaochun pulled Xia Yu out of Lanyue Pavilion mysteriously.

"Xia Yu, go and get someone to buy some special snacks in the capital," Xiaochun told Xia Yu seriously,

"Can you eat that much?" Xia Yu looked at Xiaochun suspiciously, but he only bought the pastries of Xiangsulou for Xiaochun a few days ago.

"It's not for me to eat. According to the date, Madam will be back in two days. I bought it for Madam. This time Madam went out for such a long time without my service. She must have suffered a lot," Xiaochun Yue said with a brighter expression. sad.

"You, just worrying about it, I'll go buy it," Xia Yu pinched Xiaochun's face, shook his head and left.

Xia Yu's affection for Xiao Chun can be seen by everyone around, except Xiao Chun and her silly master Nan Mengjie.Xiaochun has no affection for Nan Mengjie's affairs outside. Whenever she is worried about Nan Mengjie, Xia Yu won't say anything, and will turn out to be very helpless.

When Xiaochun was talking with Xia Yu, Lanyue Pavilion was a different scene.

A woman dressed in black was telling Ye Yuchen about Nan Mengjie's trip to Nanzhou.

"Master, because the emperor's birthday banquet is approaching, madam has rushed back,"

"Well, go down," Ye Yuchen ordered the woman to back down with a cold expression.

"Master, there is one more thing. Madam has been very concerned about An Zixing along the way," the woman lowered her head with a sneer flashing across her expression.

"Ye Xue, you don't have to protect Madam for now, go down," Ye Yuchen said again in a bad tone.

Ye Yuchen knew about An Zixing a long time ago, and Ye Xue emphasized that of course he knew the implication.For the sake of convenience, he arranged for Ye Xue to secretly protect Nan Mengjie during his long trip this time. Now it seems that Ye Xue has her own thoughts.

In the afternoon, Nan Mengjie returned to Lanyue Pavilion.

"Ma'am, you are back. Look, you have lost a lot of weight. You must have not eaten well during this time." As soon as Nan Mengjie entered the door, Xiaochun pulled her to look left and right, and finally came to the conclusion that she had lost weight. .

"Xiaochun, come with me to prepare food for Madam," Nan Mengjie pulled Xiaochun away before Xia Yu could speak, but he understood the meaning conveyed by Ye Yuchen's eyes.

"What's the matter, Xiao Yuchen, are you unhappy that I'm back?" Nan Mengjie looked at Ye Yuchen, who was playing with his fingers with his head down, and asked.

"If you haven't come back for such a long time, you definitely won't remember Xiao Chenchen," Ye Yuchen said in a tearful voice.

"How could I have forgotten you? Look, I brought you something nice," Nan Mengjie said as she took out a gift for Ye Yuchen.

"Really," Ye Yuchen looked up and saw that the gift finally gave Nan Mengjie a smile.

From Ye Xue's mouth, he knew that Nan Mengjie got a piece of ice silk, and also knew that Nan Mengjie seemed to have made clothes for An Zixing, so when he saw the ice silk belt, he didn't pay much attention to it.He was also happy for Nuan Yuguan for a while.

In Nan Mengjie's view, Ye Yuchen is like a child's heart, and he will be happy if he is coaxed.This time she brought Xiaochun a pair of bracelets, and gave Xia Yu a dagger, which was exactly the same as Qingzhu's.
