As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 15 The Stepmother Is Difficult
Yun Qi stood quietly at the window for a long time, then quietly ordered: "Prepare a Ruanjin Powder and give it to Xie Wu in a few days."

"Master, the Fifth Young Master is avoiding the matter between you and Miss Zhaozhao because he is afraid that he may not be willing to give it to him." Xuan Ming said hesitantly: "Should we find another way?"

"What other way?" Yun Qi asked, "How can you send it in without asking Xie Wu?"

Xuan Ming choked.

The relationship between Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao has collapsed in recent years, and it has affected Xie Zhaozhao's reputation.

But who calls Yun Qi the eldest grandson of the emperor?

He was of high status, so Xie Zhaozhao would occasionally beat him up twice, but it could be said that he was just a kid playing around.

But Xie Wei couldn't rush over and deal with Yun Qi.

Xie Wei loved his daughter and was so angry that he could only give secret orders to everyone in the house, from family members to managers.

No one can let Yun Qi or Yun Qi's people into the house!
Xie Changyuan and Yun Qi grew up wearing a pair of pants.

Therefore, Xie Wei and Yun Qi had private interactions behind his back, and the rest of Xie's family members kept Yun Qi at arm's length.

After the bride-kidnapping incident, the Xie Mansion was as wary of Yunqi as it was of thieves.

seem……

Without looking for Xie Changyuan, there really was no good way to deliver the things.

Xuan Ming sighed resignedly: "I understand, then thank you to the Fifth Young Master——"

"Don't worry, I have my own way."

There was a lot of traffic outside and people were coming and going. Yun Qi looked at it with little interest. He turned around and left Baoxiangzhai and rode back to his Dingxi Palace.

The title of King of Dingxi was awarded to him by Emperor Xuanwu in an unusual way after he drove away the barbarians near the Qilian Mountains a few years ago.

But this mansion was opened before he left Beijing.

The mansion is located on the bustling Chunxi Road. Within a dozen feet from the front door is a bustling market, where everything is available for food, drink and entertainment.

It's just that he himself has never participated in the fun.

At this time, Yun Qi was walking down the street with his eyes slightly lowered, expressionless as he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Highness!"

As soon as they arrived in front of the Dingxi Prince's Mansion, a young servant came up quickly and said, "Donggong, please come over."

"Is it the Crown Prince who invites me, or the Crown Princess?" Yun Qi glanced at the young man with indifferent eyes, "Speak clearly."

The young man stiffened slightly and sweat broke out on his forehead, "It's the Crown Princess who invites you..."

"No." Yun Qi said coldly, got off his horse and walked inside. After taking two steps, he suddenly turned around without saying a word and rode towards the East Palace.

The East Palace is located in the southwest of the imperial city. It is guarded by twelve guards holding halberds in front of the door, which is majestic and solemn.

After Yun Qi dismounted, he put one hand behind his back, lifted his robe and entered.

Everywhere he passed, someone knelt down and saluted.

When he arrived at the Lingwei Pavilion where the Crown Princess was, the Crown Princess's personal maid saw him and hurriedly came up to him with a smile on her face, "Your Highness is here? Please come in quickly. My Majesty has been waiting for you for a while."

Yun Qi stopped in the corridor and saw a woman wearing an indigo-blue gold-embroidered rose-goose skirt and a bun that followed the clouds, practicing calligraphy at the table.

The woman looks to be only 25 or [-] years old, with a pretty and graceful appearance.

The entire Lingwei Pavilion, from the furnishings to her dress and attire, exudes a strong scholarly atmosphere.

"Here you come?" Crown Princess Wang put down her writing brush, took the handkerchief handed over by her grandma, cleaned her hands, and called to Yun Qi: "Sit down for a while." "I won't sit down anymore."

Yun Qi's voice was cold and without warmth, "I'm here for something."

The Crown Princess Wang seemed to be used to his treatment. Instead of being angry, she asked gently: "Oh? Ah Qi actually came to me for something. Please tell me what it is. If I can help, I will do my best."

"Wang Qinyue." Yun Qi said coldly: "Your niece has no rules and slanders my reputation outside."

The Crown Princess paused slightly.

Yun Qi added: "I see that you have a lot of free time every day, writing and painting, arranging flowers and drinking tea. If you have this time, why not teach her how to cultivate her mind and character, and control her better, so as not to lose the people in the East Palace when she goes out."

"Your Highness!" Nanny Lin who was beside the Crown Princess couldn't help but said, "How could you talk to the Crown Princess like this?"

The tone of this instruction is not that of a junior speaking to an elder!
"Nanny Lin, shut up."

The Crown Princess turned to Yun Qi and said warmly: "Qin Yue lost her mother when she was young. The Wang family did not discipline her strictly, and her temper was a bit arrogant... I have made a note of it, and I will definitely teach her well."

"That's good." After Yun Qi said that, he turned around and left without even entering the hall door of Lingwei Pavilion.

"Wait a minute!" the Crown Princess shouted, holding up the hem of her skirt, she chased her into the courtyard and said softly, "Ah Qi, His Royal Highness will return to the capital soon."

"You father and son haven't seen each other for several years. It's his 40th birthday in a few days. Would you like to come over to the East Palace and wish him a good birthday?"

Yun Qi's deep eyes fell on the Crown Princess Wang, "You are still so concerned about our relationship between father and son."

"I know you don't like me." Crown Princess Wang looked at Yun Qi calmly and did not dodge. "But I can't help myself... I sincerely hope that the relationship between you and your son will get better."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not been feeling well these past few years. He is always ill for a period of time every autumn and winter. When he is ill, he talks about you and says that you have not written to him all these years. He is very sad."

"This time, you will come to attend his birthday and say some nice words, even if it is just to make him happy, okay?

Yun Qi took a deep look at Mr. Wang, threw up his sleeves and walked away without saying anything.

Wang looked at his unruly back and sighed, "It seems that my persuasion was in vain again."

The maids in the Crown Princess' courtyard also sighed secretly.

It's hard for a stepmother.

Over the years, no matter how kind the Crown Princess was to Yun Qi, Yun Qi always looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Conflict is commonplace.

The conflict between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Emperor's eldest grandson is getting deeper and deeper.

More than five years ago, Yun Qi knelt down and begged the prince to ask Emperor Xuanwu to dissolve the engagement between Chu Nanxuan and Xie Zhaozhao. He wanted to marry Xie Zhaozhao himself, which made the prince furious. He scolded Yun Qi for not having great ambitions and only doing one thing every day. Thinking about the love between children.

From that day on, the already bad relationship between father and son became even more fragile and deteriorated to the extreme.

The servants all thought that if the prince celebrates his birthday this time, the emperor's eldest grandson will not come either.

If they really come, I'm afraid there will be some other conflicts because of the bride snatching thing that day.

Nanny Lin supported the Crown Princess Wang back to Lingwei Pavilion.

"How could His Highness King Dingxi be like this?" Nanny Lin said angrily: "To be so rude to you, and to talk about Miss Qinyue's tutor...Miss Qinyue broke her waist today, and the doctor said she should not be able to walk for at least two months. bed."

"He has grown up with Miss Qinyue after all, but he doesn't care at all and only blames her!"

"Okay." Crown Princess Wang returned to the table and continued copying, "Qin Yue's words were inappropriate and she brought it on herself. Don't mention this matter again."
