Chapter 9: Xie Xunfeng
In the carriage, Xie Xunfeng considerately used a knife to separate the roast chicken perfectly.
Xie Xunfeng is very good at knife skills.
There was not a trace of meat on the boneless chicken frame.
Xiao Yiran wanted to refuse, but she had no choice because she was really too hungry.
Jing Fei’s roast chicken is so delicious.
I took a bite and it was so delicious!
When Xie Xunfeng looked at her, he thought of Xiao Yiran from another world.
I couldn't help but say, "Yi Ran, I said, I want to protect you! Please believe me."
Xiao Yiran looked at Xie Xunfeng with a serious expression.
She did want to believe him.
She dreamed of having someone who could protect her.
But how credible can the words of a fool be?
A proton ?
A humble princess?
When two people are together, who can protect whom?
Xiao Yiran smiled awkwardly and did not argue with Xie Xunfeng any further.
…
After arriving at the palace gate.
Xie Xunfeng very considerately helped her get off the car.
Xiao Yiran was very touched, but she knew it very well.
That's it between them!
Xiao Yiran returned to Kunning Palace with a nervous heart.
She was ready to be teased and retaliated against by Xiao Nalan.
As soon as he entered Kunning Palace, Eunuch Gao beside the Queen came towards him.
Xiao Yiran behaved very respectfully.
"Eunuch Gao."
"The Queen and the Princess invite you to come over!"
Eunuch Gao glanced at Xiao Yiran and said something.
Afterwards, he walked towards the main hall of Kunning Palace.
Xiao Yiran followed reluctantly.
After entering Kunning Palace, I saw the Queen and Xiao Nalan sitting at the dining table.
Xiao Yiran stepped forward and knelt down, saying to the queen, "Greetings to the queen, and to the princess."
The queen said with a smile on her face, "Yi Ran, hurry up... why are you kneeling... get up quickly, you haven't had dinner yet. Let's have it together."
After hearing what the queen said, Xiao Yiran was shocked.
Because, Xie Xunfeng just said to Xiao Yiran.
Not only would they not punish her, but they would greet her with a smile.
When she heard what Xie Xunfeng said, she thought he was being stupid again.
Xiao Yiran knelt on the ground and said, "Queen... Yiran... Yiran is of low status and dare not sit at the same table with Your Majesty..."
After saying this, the queen personally came to help her up.
Xiao Yiran was still confused.
From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever been treated like this?
He took the seat tremblingly.
The Queen smiled and said to Xiao Yiran, "Yiran, don't be nervous! Tell me why you wanted to save that fool... When did you get together with him?"
Xiao Yiran was shocked once again.
Is Xie Xunfeng really a fool?
He must be the worm in the Queen's stomach.
She didn't want to use what Xie Xunfeng taught her, but there seemed to be no better way at this moment.
Xiao Yiran knelt on the ground in fear and trepidation and said, "Please forgive me, Queen... I just thought... Xie Xunfeng was a hostage of the Great Zhou, and my father seemed to have an important position in him. If he died, my father would definitely investigate again. It doesn't matter if it involves me. But if it involves the eldest princess, then I really deserve to die..."
"As for... being with that fool, I saw that the princess hated him so much that she wanted to poison him! Moreover, I really thought that the fool was not worthy of the princess. If the princess married him, her life would be ruined! I thought about how I grew up in Kunning Palace. If it weren't for the queen, I, Xiao Yiran, would not be alive today! So, I thought about being with that fool, and letting him break off the engagement with my father, and then marry me."
"I grew up in Kunning Palace, so I can be considered a member of Kunning Palace. Father will definitely agree! In this way, the eldest princess won't have to marry that fool. Father will also have to satisfy his wishes."
When Xiao Yiran followed Xie Xunfeng's words, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
He didn't know why he said these words out loud.
Maybe... I also want to take a chance for my future.
When the queen heard what Xiao Yiran said, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
I was very surprised.
It seems that she really guessed right.
This harmless Xiao Yiran is really quite scheming.
Now it seems that she was also the one who ordered that fool.
However, a cold light flashed across the queen's face.
Instead, there was a smile on his face that was as warm as spring breeze.
Helped Xiao Yiran up.
"Yi'ran, your kindness really touches my mother. Why don't you just say it?"
Xiao Yiran kept his head down and did not respond.
"You are not blaming Nalan, are you? She has been spoiled since she was a child... Can you forgive her for what happened in the Embroidery Tower?" The Queen said very gently.
Xiao Yiran shook her head repeatedly and said, "I dare not... dare not blame the princess. And... it's me... I didn't explain it clearly to the princess."
The queen smiled and took Xiao Yiran's hand and said, "Yiran, I love you so much. You are a sensible child! Are you really willing to marry that fool Xie Xunfeng?"
Xiao Yiran gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay!" said the queen with a smile, and then waved her hand.
A nanny nearby brought over an invitation and handed it to Xiao Yiran.
After Xiao Yiran took it, he asked blankly, "Empress... this..."
"This is Wen Taigong's garden party. You should go with him this time. Together with Xie the prostitute." said the queen.
Xiao Yiran was shocked again.
The qualification to attend this garden party is extremely precious, and not all princes and princesses can go.
Those who can go are those who have background and power.
"I...I...I am of low status..."
The queen's face darkened slightly and she said, "Why is your status so low? You were also raised in my Kunning Palace, and you belong to my Kunning Palace. Don't you want to go?"
Xiao Yiran shook his head and said, "No... I want to go... I want to go..."
She really dreamed about it! She wanted to attend such a banquet like those princes and princesses.
But now that the dream has come true, it always feels a little unreal .
Xiao Yiran took the invitation as if it were a treasure and kowtowed to the Queen again.
"Okay, you look so happy that you can't eat anymore. Hurry up and take the invitation to have fun secretly." Xiao Nalan said to Xiao Yiran with a raised eyebrow.
Xiao Yiran glanced at the queen.
The queen kept her signature smile and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back first."
Xiao Yiran had wanted to run away a long time ago.
After kneeling down and greeting him, he left.
Xiao Nalan couldn't help but complain, "Mother, look at her... Look how happy she is."
The queen's face darkened slightly, and she smiled grimly and said, "I never thought that I would have such a cunning little wolf cub by my side. Interesting! Nalan, we must let them shine at the garden party."
"Mother, don't worry. I have made all the arrangements. When the time comes, I will make them two the laughing stock of Longyang City!"
