The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 187 Of course I can afford it
"When I was in the capital, I often heard people say that this young lady of Duke Ding's mansion is very similar to her mother, Mrs. Duke Ding. She is very virtuous and good-looking, and I feel that she is now the crown prince. Concubine, she will definitely be a good princess and will not do anything against Miss Ye, Mr. Lin, you are too worried."

After hearing this, a sneer appeared on Master Lin's face: "Master Xing, does your father have a concubine?"

Lord Xing was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the topic to be transferred to his father. In addition, Zhifu Lin's tone was very frivolous, and his brows suddenly sank: "Of course there are, why do you ask this?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask, what is the relationship between your father's concubines and your mother?" Master Lin smiled slightly after hearing this, raised his eyes to look at him, and said: "You can just tell the truth, you don't need to hide it, My father, including myself, all have concubines at home, and I know exactly what kind of state these women are in."

Master Xing was silent after hearing this, but his gloomy face represented his thoughts.

Seeing this, Zhifu Lin smiled lightly, and he knew that the Xing family would never be immune.

"Women! They are all fighting for that man. If there are too many monks and few meats, they will naturally fight. It's just that the open and secret fights between wives and concubines have always been carried out behind the scenes, and never brought to the table. But the grievances and grievances between those people have always been there. If the people are like this, let alone the palace? What's more, it is the prince? How naive are you to think that the princess will live in peace with Miss Ye? She might kill her Miss Ye has her heart, right?"

Zhifu Lin said, shrugging his shoulders and said: "Of course, if this Miss Ye also wants to return to the crown prince, she must also hate the crown prince. After all, she was kicked out, and no one can bear this humiliation. .”

Master Xing was silent when he heard this, but his face showed a bit of emotion.

With the rise of prefect Lin's talk, he finally met someone who was willing to listen to his bragging, and he was really reluctant to stop there.

But when he was about to speak again, a guard walked in from outside, stepped forward and respectfully said: "Lord Xing, Lord Lin, the carriage of Lord Taifu and Miss Ye has already left the city for the capital, and they are traveling by land."

"Already left the city?" Lord Xing was taken aback when he heard the words, he raised his eyes and looked downstairs, and he saw the very lively street just now, the crowd had already dispersed.

"Yes." The guard replied respectfully.

"It's really strange. Those people love Miss Ye so much, and they are all very grateful. How could they let her go so easily?" Prefect Lin opened his mouth a little exaggeratedly.

"This subordinate doesn't know. I only know that Ms. Ye just said a few words to the enthusiastic people who came to see her off, and those people dispersed."

"What did she say?" Even Lord Xing became curious now.

"This subordinate is not clear yet." The guard immediately lowered his head upon hearing this.

"Then why don't you check it out? What are you doing here?" Master Xing's face turned cold instantly.

"Your subordinate, let's go!" The guard's expression changed, and he finally turned and left.

After such an interruption, Mr. Xing and Zhifu Lin lost the interest to continue talking. The two had their own thoughts, and after saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their respective residences.

On the road in the outskirts of Jinzhou, a small convoy headed for the capital at a leisurely pace.

Now it is late autumn, the mountains and forests are all golden, and the weather is gradually getting colder. This time when returning to Beijing, Liu Er specially prepared a small charcoal stove for Ye Zhaoqing in the carriage.

However, the carriage had only been driving for half a day, and Murong Shen got into the carriage, and Liu Er, who was warming up by the fire, retreated without waiting for orders.

It's so cold outside!She couldn't help clasping her hands together and let out a sigh.

Especially for people like them who are away from home and have no time to prepare autumn clothes.

At this moment, she suddenly heard Murong Shen in the carriage saying to Ye Zhaoqing in a heavy voice: "My people have heard that the prince has left Beijing for some reason."

Liu'er was very sensitive to this topic, and when she heard this, she pricked up her ears, and couldn't help but move towards the wall of the carriage.

To this day, even though she sees Taifu Murong standing with her young lady, sometimes she still thinks of the prince and looks forward to Ye Zhaoqing reuniting with him. How could she miss such explosive news?
"It's good to be sick, so he doesn't love himself so much?" In the carriage, Ye Zhaoqing was startled when he heard Murong Shen's words, and then a trace of anger appeared on his face.

I don't know what she is angry about.

"You should know where he went." Murong Shen glanced at her with a complicated expression, but he asked the simplest question.

"How do I know where he's going?" Ye Zhaoqing heard this, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face: "Master Taifu, the feet are growing on him, wouldn't it be a little stupid for you to ask me this question?"

Murong Shen glanced at her quietly, then turned his head away: "The prince just wants to see you, so I'm asking for nothing."

"He wants to see me?" Ye Zhaoqing was taken aback, and just halfway through speaking, she suddenly came to her senses: "You mean, the prince suddenly left the palace and left the capital, he came to find... me?"

Murong Shen nodded when he heard the words, showing such an expression, and then said in a calm tone: "Actually, you should have expected this a long time ago."

If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have brought Ye Zhaoqing back to Beijing in such a hurry.

"That's broken!" Ye Zhaoqing heard these words, and before she had time to feel the deep feelings, she just felt terrified: "The third prince has been watching secretly, and the prince just left Beijing. Did you miss the opportunity of the Third Prince? Why did this idiot do such a mindless thing!"

Murong Shen looked at her angry expression, and suddenly felt a bit stinking in his heart.

Ever since Ye Zhaoqing admitted his identity, he has naturally transferred his feelings for Princess Anning over the years to her. In his heart, these two women may have different appearances, but the souls inside are different. it's the same.

Back then he loved An Ning so much, now he loves Ye Zhaoqing so much.

It is impossible for any man not to mind at all when his beloved woman is so worried and angry for another man.

Murong Shen is not a god, of course he would mind.

He also regretted very much in his heart, regretting that he had not recognized Ye Zhaoqing earlier, in this case, he would never let her marry Li Yu no matter what.

But it's not too late, it's just not perfect.

"You are no longer the crown princess, why are you still so worried about him?" Murong Shen said.

Ye Zhaoqing gave him a strange look, and asked with doubts: "I have always regarded him as my younger brother, and I am worried about what's wrong with him?"

Murong Shen held back his words and suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"Really?" After a long time, he asked slowly.

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyebrows immediately: "I'm just worried about the prince, so what's your business?"

"Of course it's none of my business!" As Murong Shen said, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Zhaoqing's hand, and pulled her into his arms with just a slight movement.

The scene that I had imagined thousands of times in my mind just appeared without warning.

The sudden contact with the hard chest and the scalding temperature on it made Ye Zhaoqing struggle like a frightened bunny, but the more she struggled, the tighter Murong Shen hugged her.

"Murong Shen! What are you going to do?" Ye Zhaoqing was furious, and immediately yelled, gnashing her teeth. In order not to disturb the guards outside and Liu'er, she didn't dare to struggle too much, and her voice was kept very low.

But this gave Murong Shen too much convenience. He hugged the woman in his arms tightly, lowered his head and looked directly into her eyes, and said word by word: "I have to ask first, why are you returning to Beijing this time?" It’s not about going back to the prince.”

"Why are you crazy!" Ye Zhaoqing blurted out without even thinking about the words: "If I wanted to go back, why did I leave in the first place? Now that I left, naturally I never thought about going back!"

Murong Shen heard this distraught voice, a smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face, but he still didn't let her go: "That's good, after I return to Beijing, I can start preparing for our marriage."

Ye Zhaoqing, who was still thrashing in his arms, froze instantly when he heard these words.

The next moment, she pushed Murong Shen away forcefully, with such strength that she almost pushed Murong Shen's body against the wall of the carriage.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I was going to marry you?"

Murong Shen looked at the angry Ye Zhaoqing calmly, turning a blind eye to her words: "If you have no objection, I will order someone to send a letter back to Beijing and ask my father to find someone to count the auspicious day."

"Murong Shen, why are you crazy!" Ye Zhaoqing finally couldn't take it anymore, she stretched out her hand and pushed Murong Shen angrily, "I don't want to marry you, did you hear that?"

"But I want to marry you." Murong Shen didn't resist, and let Ye Zhaoqing push himself to the ground, and just gently pulled the angry woman into his arms: "At present, this is not a good thing for you." It is the best choice.”

"Why do you say that?" Ye Zhaoqing struggled vigorously, but she found desperately that Murong Shen's strength was amazing, and she couldn't push him away at all.

"I have the capital to give you the best, and I am the only one in this world who knows what you want most." Murong Shen fixed his eyes on Ye Zhaoqing after hearing this, and said, "After returning to Beijing, the crown prince will definitely return to you." If I continue to entangle with you, with my sister around, you will get into a lot of trouble, and self-protection will be a problem, so how can we talk about revenge?"

Ye Zhaoqing was shocked by his calm tone, she couldn't help calming down slowly, and said after a long time: "Why do you say that you can give me the best?"

"Of course I can afford it."
