When Ning Shu thanked Xiao Zhangping, she glanced around and found that Xiao Yunyi was looking at them suspiciously. Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly said goodbye to Xiao Zhangping and blended into the crowd.
She searched for Xiahou Qing in the crowd for a long time but couldn't find him. She thought he had returned to his residence first. However, when she turned a corner, she found that outstanding figure under a willow tree. He was still being pestered by the envoys of the Southern Yan Kingdom. There was another person standing beside him. It was the eldest son of the Prime Minister, Tan Sixian.
Ning Shu had seen him before at the banquet at the Third Prince's residence. He was handsome and somewhat similar to Tan Siwei, but his pair of slightly raised peach blossom eyes added a bit of charm. It was easy to tell the difference between the two brothers.
This person's temperament was also unusual. He didn't follow in the footsteps of his father and brother to participate in the imperial examinations and become an official. Instead, he became a merchant. He was tactful and funny. With the Prime Minister's residence as his backing, he made a name for himself in the capital. In the past, he had a good relationship with Xiao Yunyan. After Xiao Yunyan fell from power, he quickly climbed up to Xiao Yunsu. Their relationship was very close. At the same time, he was also very close to the envoy from Southern Yan. He often took the envoy to tour the capital under the guise of enjoying the capital's scenery, but in reality, he was admiring all the courtesans in the capital.
With Xiahou Qing's cold temperament, he would be annoyed after being pestered for so long. However, due to his identity as the envoy, he couldn't refute in front of everyone. Ning Shu snickered. After thinking about it, she still walked forward to fulfill her responsibility as a loyal guard of the prince's residence. She cupped her hands and said, "This little one greets the lords. Heir, the carriage is ready. You forgot to take your medicine today, so you should return home early. "
The envoy's words were interrupted. His gaze fell on Ning Shu. He raised his eyebrows and said curiously, "Your Highness is very elegant. I didn't expect that the little guard beside you is also not ordinary. These hands are white and tender, even more delicate than a normal girl's."
As the envoy spoke, he reached out to pat the back of Ning Shu's hand.
Ning Shu was alerted and immediately retreated. After saluting, she took a step back and walked to Xiahou Qing's side.
Xiahou Qing's sharp ears caught her little panic and casually said, "He's the one in charge of tying up my hair. If his hands are rough, then that person would be crippled. How could he be worthy of staying in my Southern Pacifying King's Mansion?"
The envoy laughed. "What the Crown Prince said makes sense. If it were a rough man with calloused hands, his hair would be pulled out when he combed his hair. Hahahaha!"
The envoy threw his head back and laughed out loud as he said something that only he found interesting. After a moment, his eyes once again swept over to Ning Shu. Looking at this little bodyguard who could only be considered delicate and pretty, but with a slender figure, he suddenly felt a sense of charm and gentleness in his heart, "The Great Yue is indeed a land of outstanding heroes. Talented people are everywhere. Being tied up by such a soft hand, the feeling must be extraordinary."
The contempt in his words was very obvious, which made Xiahou Qing frown unhappily.
Tan Sixian was a smart person and immediately mediated the situation. "It's getting late. The Crown Prince needs to take his medicine first. Sir envoy, why don't we disturb the Crown Prince some other day and continue to ask him for advice on chess?"
After he finished speaking with a smile, he leaned close to the envoy's ear and whispered, "The Great Yue has countless talented people. It's easy to find a pair of soft hands to comb your hair. Sir envoy, don't worry. I'll definitely find one that you'll be satisfied with."
The envoy laughed and said to Xiahou Qing, "Mr. Tan is right. Then I won't delay the Crown Prince from taking his medicine. When the Crown Prince is free, I'll host a banquet at Xunfang Terrace. I'll definitely invite the Crown Prince. "
The wolf and the bei finally left together with their arms around each other's shoulders. Ning Shu exhaled softly and said shamefully, "I was careless. I didn't expect to make a mistake in my hands. Fortunately, Your Highness helped me in time."
