Speaking of the other end, in the Princess residence. When the people outside reported Xie Jing Xing's arrival, Princess Rong Xin was already preparing to sleep.
She had been a widow for many years and had no children by her side, thus every New Year's Festival, she would appear to be alone. Even if Emperor Wen Hui in the Palace had the title of Siblings with her, but after all they did not crawl out from the same mother's womb, so how could they be that close. Moreover it was better to stay in the Princess residence than to interact with the Emperor in the Palace, so for so many years of Jade Rabbit Festival, Princess Rong Xin would not enter the Palace nor go out to play, but quietly stay in the residence, just like usual.
Today was different. When she knew that Xie Jing Xing had come, Princess Rong Xin was somewhat surprised. After changing her clothes, she then went out to welcome him. When she walked into the hall, she saw that Xie Jing Xing was already sitting on a chair waiting. When he saw her, he smiled gently, "Rong Yi."
Princess Rong Xin's maiden name was Yu Rong and she had a deep sisterly relationship with Princess Yu Qing, thus it was not wrong for Xie Jing Xing to call her Rong Yi.
"Why did you come over today?" When Princess Rong Xin saw Xie Jing Xing, she was somewhat puzzled but there was more joy. She did not have any children and had long treated Xie Jing Xing as her own son. She pitied Xie Jing Xing's life experience. When Princess Yu Qing passed away, when Princess Rong Xin came to the residence of the Marquis of Lin An to offer her condolences, she even scolded Xie Ding badly. Even though Xie Jing Xing was mischievous, he treated Princess Rong Xin with great respect and would come over to the Princess residence to pay his respects during every New Year's Festival. It was just that normally he would come over on the first day of the new year, but this year he came on the Jade Rabbit Festival, which made Princess Rong Xin somewhat surprised.
"Miss Rong Yi so come over to take a look. Will Rong Yi not welcome me?" Xie Jing Xing smiled. His appearance was outstanding to begin with, and now that he was speaking in a half-joking, half-serious manner, his handsome and romantic appearance caused all the maidservants in the hall to blush.
Princess Rong Xin tapped his forehead and smiled, "You even dare to tease an old person like me. You little brat, your guts are getting fatter."
"It is one thing to miss Rong Yi but there is another matter to seek Rong Yi's help in coming over tonight."
Princess Rong Xin was surprised for a moment before she sat up straight and said seriously, "Jing Xing, did you encounter any difficulties? If there is anything difficult, just tell Rong Yi."
"Aunt Rong, don't be nervous. It's just a small matter." Xie Jing Xing explained with a smile, "I have a friend who got separated from her family during the Jade Rabbit Festival and unfortunately fell into the water. Even though I saved her, it was somewhat inconvenient. She even wanted Aunt Rong to send her back in the name of the Princess Residence. "
He said it was simple but when Princess Rong Xin heard it, she understood the matter. Even though Ming Qi was more open to the matters between men and women, but after all a female's reputation was very sensitive and if some rumours were to spread, it would be unbearable. But … Princess Rong Xin looked at Xie Jing Xing, "That friend of yours is actually a young lady?"
Xie Jing Xing nodded.
"It's been so many years, but I've never seen a girl by your side." Princess Rong Xin suddenly mischievously said, "Jing Xing, you are also an adult. One do not know how old is that Young Lady and is there any marriage arrangement in the family?"
"Aunt Rong." Xie Jing Xing helplessly said, "She is still a young lady. He had no choice but to help her because he owed her a favor. Don't tell me you don't want to help me? "
"What are you talking about?" Princess Rong Xin pretended to be angry, "Which time did Aunt Rong not help you? Alright, alright, alright. Where is that Young Lady now?"
"In the horse carriage outside. Aunt Rong will help her find a set of clothes to change into." Xie Jing Xing said.
Hearing that, Princess Rong Xin's gaze towards Xie Jing Xing became more meaningful. When Xie Jing Xing saw it, he only shook his head and found it funny and was too lazy to explain. Princess Rong Xin instructed the maids by her side to bring Shen Miao, who was in the horse carriage, to the residence's bedroom to rest and said to Xie Jing Xing, "But you have not told me which family's young lady is she from?"
"Shen family of the capital, Formidable Great General's Di daughter, Shen Miao." Xie Jing Xing lazily said.
Princess Rong Xin was drinking tea and almost choked on the tea when she heard that. She looked at Xie Jing Xing and said in disbelief, "That idiot noble girl. Isn't she in love with Prince Ding?"
Xie Jing Xing shrugged his shoulders. Princess Rong Xin carefully looked at him and deliberated over her words, "Jing Xing, there are thousands of young ladies in the world and you are still young … Wait a while more."
Xie Jing Xing, "…"
Two flowers bloomed, each representing one branch. On one side, Princess Rong Xin and Xie Jing Xing were having a heart to heart talk while on the other side, Shen Miao was sitting in Princess Rong Xin's bedroom, watching the maids coming and going to tidy up her clothes and hair.
In the previous lifetime, Princess Rong Xin did not treat her with such enthusiasm. Perhaps she looked down on her self-seeking behaviour or felt that her learning was crude, thus she always treated her coldly. Even after she became the Empress, Princess Rong Xin was lukewarm towards her. And because Princess Rong Xin was not in the Palace all year round and would occasionally enter the Palace, her gaze towards her was not very friendly. In Shen Miao's heart, Princess Rong Xin was not a person that was easy to get along with.
Who knew that with such hospitality, it made Shen Miao somewhat inexplicable.
