Before Ning Shu could retract her footsteps, Xiao Yunyi had already turned around. Ning Shu had no choice but to say, "Greetings to Your Highness."
Staring at Ning Shu, who was curtsying to him from three to four feet away, her attitude respectful but extremely distant, Xiao Yunyi smiled, his smile cold and bitter. "Shu 'er, you're going to completely distance yourself from me."
Ning Shu lowered her eyes and answered quietly, "Your Highness must be joking. Your Highness is the son of the Emperor and is a noble, while I'm just an ordinary official's daughter. How would I dare to overstep your boundaries?"
Seeing her attitude, Xiao Yunyi's expression turned colder and he sneered. "You don't dare to overstep your boundaries towards me, but you dare to do so towards Prince Xiahou?" Sensing Ning Shu's frown, Xiao Yunyi suppressed the raging fire in his heart, closed his eyes and took a breath, his tone softening. "I'm just joking with Shu 'er. Shu' er, you don't have to take it to heart."
Ning Shu paused and said, "Was it Your Highness who told Consort Qi that I was pretending to be a eunuch in the Lord Pingnan's manor?"
The fire that he had been suppressing could no longer be suppressed and Xiao Yunyi laughed coldly. "So what if I did? If I didn't expose this matter, could it be that I would have allowed you to spend time with that blind Xiahou Qing?"
Hearing him being so rude, Ning Shu showed a disapproving expression. "Your Highness, why do you have to be so vicious with your words?"
"Are you trying to say that I'm vicious?" Xiao Yunyi narrowed his eyes and took a few steps closer. "Shu 'er, I've known you for eleven years and we're childhood sweethearts. You should know me best, so I don't have to hide it in front of you. You'd better not defend another man in front of me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the knife in my hand. "
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, like a bow that was pulled to its limit and would break at any time. Facing such a stubborn Xiao Yunyi, Ning Shu suddenly did not know how to deal with him.
Fortunately, the door creaked open.
"I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. This lowly official was caught up in some miscellaneous matters in the yamen and kept the two of you waiting. Please forgive this lowly official's mistake." An anxious voice rushed in, temporarily easing the tense atmosphere in the room.
Ning Shu took the chance to walk away from Xiao Yunyi. She turned back and saw a young man in an embroidered robe running in, hurriedly wiping the sweat off his forehead as he bowed apologetically.
This person had a round baby face and was neither tall nor short. He smiled at everyone he met, and he didn't look like an adult at all. He was clearly an amiable and harmless youth.
Secretly rejoicing that this person had appeared to resolve the situation, Ning Shu smiled faintly and said, "You must be the Shaoqing of the Supreme Court. My daughter Ning Shu greets the Lord."
When the man heard Ning Shu introduce herself, he suddenly froze for some reason. An inexplicable naivety appeared on his face, and then he said cheerfully, "Ah, what do you mean by 'sir' or 'sir'? Lady Ning is being so courteous, it's really too much for this Tan. It's my first time meeting Miss, it's my pleasure to meet you. "
"Lord Tan, you're already a Shaoqing at such a young age. You're really a pillar of the country. My daughter admires you very much. Lord Tan, why are you so modest?" Ning Shu greeted the other party politely. She had just said a few words when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Wait a minute. His surname was Tan?
Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly remembered that this Shaoqing of the Supreme Court seemed to have the surname Tan and his name was Siwei. He was the youngest son of the Prime Minister Tan's family and the most anticipated candidate among the candidates that her father had chosen for her to be her fourth husband!
As for her mother, she had only gone to the Prime Minister's family this afternoon to get closer!
