As for the Prince Zhan's Mansion, ever since Nangong Waner had left, the courtyard that Prince Zhan returned to was completely empty. Prince Zhan asked Liu Hong if the young miss had anything to say when she returned to her residence.
Liu Hong predicted that the King would ask about it, so he said awkwardly, ”Reporting to the King, Miss did not say anything.”
Prince Zhan's expression was very unhappy.
Liu Hong paused for a moment before adding, ”Before Miss left, you even gave me a present. It seems that they do not plan to return. ” After saying that, Liu Hong lowered his head with all his might.
Sure enough, after Prince Zhan heard Liu Hong's words, he smashed a table in his room on the spot.
When Zi Ye heard the sound, he immediately rushed over to ask what was going on. When they saw Liu Hong's anxious and lowered head, the prince's face turned green. The table was probably smashed by the prince, so Zi Ye decided to wait outside.
”Go to the Zhongshu Officer Palace and bring Wan Er back.” Prince Zhan instructed in a low voice. Zi Ye knew that his master was giving him instructions.
Zi Ye opened his mouth but didn't dare to say anything. Looking at the broken table, he was afraid that he would be smashed like the table itself. ”Master's path of chasing after his wife doesn't seem to be smooth.” Zi Ye didn't dare to say anything, so he could only nag about in his heart.
Early in the morning on the second day, Zi Ye indeed did not dare to tarry too long and took the carriage to Zhongshu Officer Palace to pick Nangong Waner up and bring him back to Prince Zhan's Mansion. However, he did not receive the carriage.
The next few days were spent waiting at the entrance of Zhongshu Officer Palace. Not a single day passed.
Finally, the Prince Zhan became angry, and asked Zi Ye, ”Do you need me to personally go and receive them? Check what Wan Er has been busy with recently! ” After he finished speaking, the table in the Prince Zhan's hall was smashed into pieces with a ”pa” sound. Zi Ye stealthily glanced at the Golden Silk SNan Mu table that was shattered into pieces, and lowered his head even lower.
In the recent days, everyone in the Prince's Mansion had been on tenterhooks. They knew that their Prince's personality was even weirder. Especially when Ziye had something to report to him, they all wished they could hide ten zhang away.
In less than half a day, Zi Ye managed to find out what Nangong Waner was busy with recently. When Zi Ye came to report, he wanted to say something, but hesitated and eventually said it out through gritted teeth, ”Miss Nangong is infatuated with the drama garden's current hot corner, and is called Xiao Yue. ”I'm going to listen to the show every day.” After saying that, Zi Ye closed her eyes in fear, not daring to look up.
”Pa!” The teacup in Prince Zhan's hand shattered.
”When did the Elder Xiu come to the Duke Palace?” Surprisingly, the Prince Zhan did not blow a fuss, his voice sounded cold and detached.
”Since the day of the Assistant Minister’s Residence's banquet, the Prince said that the Elder Xiu was going to stay at the Duke's Palace to teach him some lessons. It seems like the Elder Xiu is hiding somewhere.” Zi Ye respectfully replied.
”Then send someone to investigate, please come to the palace.” Prince Zhan's tone seemed to be light and ordinary, but it emphasized his tone of invitation.
So today, Nangong Waner brought Ju Xiang to the theater to enjoy the show, only to see that there were a circle of guards at the entrance who were continuously urging them to leave, saying that they had already been booked up for today.
It just so happened that Nangong Waner recognized Zi Ye from among the group of guards. Nangong Waner hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, ”Yo, Big Brother Ye, what happened? ”Why are you doing business here?”
When Zi Ye saw that it was Nangong Waner, he was so happy that there were thousands of horses galloping around. However, he looked extremely respectful and courteous on the surface, ”Miss Nangong, the king is waiting for you inside.”
Nangong Waner was suspicious, this prince had come to support Xiao Yue Yue's match just fine and proper, was he a good man? He walked straight ahead while being puzzled.
The audience seating was indeed very empty, only Prince Zhan sat there alone, as if his entire body was enveloped in a cold Qi, lowering his head to drink his tea, not saying a word.
”Prince Zhan!” Nangong Waner gently called out from a distance, and smiled with curved eyebrows.
When Prince Zhan saw Nangong Waner walking over with a smile on his face, although he only smiled in response, his heart was more than filled with excitement. Prince Zhan had already brewed a pot of tea for Nangong Waner. When Nangong Waner received the teacup, a familiar fragrance wafted out, immediately making him smile.
”From the manor?” Nangong Waner was overjoyed.
Prince Zhan only looked at Nangong Waner and smiled.
”Why do you like Xiao Yue Yue now?” As they spoke, Nangong Waner saw that Xiao Yue Yue had already finished dressing up on stage. Nangong Waner immediately turned into a bewitched sister, smiling and greeting Xiao Yue who was on stage.
