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

Chapter 452 Gui Ning
He just watched Chen Shulan in the mirror washing herself, putting on makeup, gathering up her long hair that was originally loose, and pulling it into a woman's hairstyle, a little pride flashed unconsciously in his eyes.

It doesn't matter what happened before.

The important thing is that now he is in his arms and his wife.

Chen Shulan turned her face sideways and asked Nanny Liu to hang her earrings for her. When she looked back, she unexpectedly met Xie Changyuan's eyes in the mirror.

Xie Changyuan showed a big smile.

Chen Shulan was stunned and quickly glared at him and looked away.

Xie Changyuan stood up and walked to her side. He took the other earring from Nanny Liu's hand and leaned down to help Chen Shulan hang it. "I'll go to the palace and sit for a while. I'll come back if I don't want to wait for us."

Chen Shulan's heart skipped a beat when she heard him speak like that.

The Chen family...the current brothers and sisters of the eldest family, as well as the second aunt and Chen Shuya, didn't have a good look towards her.

Especially this time when she got married, the dowry prepared by her second uncle Chen Zhiji was generous, which aroused dissatisfaction and anger from other sisters.

On the morning of the wedding day, when the eldest lady and the second lady went to Chen Shulan's courtyard for routine business, someone made strange and unpleasant remarks.

Chen Shulan thought that she would just have to endure it for a few hours before she could leave here completely, and she remained silent from beginning to end.

They had a yin and yang for a while, maybe they felt it was boring, so they stopped.

Those who come back today will definitely meet again.

Thinking of this, Chen Shulan took a deep breath.

In fact, except for her grandfather, no one else in the Chen family likes her, and she resists meeting them.

What Xie Changyuan meant by saying this now was that after paying homage to his grandfather, if the others don't want to deal with it, they can just come back?
She grew up in a house since she was a child. Although her grandfather doted on her and supported her, he also taught her to respect her elders and be friendly to her brothers and sisters.

She was afraid that her grandfather would be worried, and she was also afraid that her grandfather would be unhappy because of the bad relationship at home.

So bear with everything you can.

Over the years, she has learned that you have to deal with some people you don't like, and at least maintain a semblance of politeness and peace.

But now Xie Changyuan said that if you don’t want to stay, you can leave——

A simple sentence touched her heart, making her feel like someone was thinking of her and supporting her.

Chen Shulan couldn't help but look at Xie Changyuan in the mirror, with a bit of warmth rising in her eyes.

At this time, Xie Changyuan moved his fingers and the earrings were already hung up.

He took the limelight hairpin and put it on Chen Shulan's bun again. He compared the left side with the right side, and finally gave up the limelight hairpin: "This looks a bit too old, so I'd better wear something fresh and unique."

"The hairpins are all here."

Aunt Liu pointed to the box above the dowry.

Xie Changyuan said "Oh" and looked at it for a while, then randomly picked out a few hairpin beads and helped Chen Shulan put makeup on her bun.

It is indeed fresh and chic.

Chen Shulan said quietly: "You know this very well and are very skilled."

"..."

Xie Changyuan gave her hand that was wearing the beaded flower a slap in the face, and said with a dry smile: "Knowing and being proficient in these is all so that I can help Ning Ning with her makeup today."

"Don't shout."

Chen Shulan glanced at Xie Changyuan angrily from the mirror, and then quickly glanced at Nanny Liu.

Aunt Liu was covering her mouth and smiling.

"Ning Ning" is a nickname that no one has used in more than ten years.

Not only did Xie Changyuan shout now, but he also shouted... sweetly and greasyly, making her old bones feel tingly.

Moreover, Xie Changyuan's behavior in the past two days made Nanny Liu shake her head and sigh. He was indeed a prodigal son of a flower bush, full of tricks. No ordinary little girl could stand his teasing like this.

But... Over the past year or so, Nanny Liu has watched the relationship between Xie Changyuan and Chen Shulan.It can also be seen that Xie Changyuan treats the young lady differently.

Now that he is married again, he just hopes that the prodigal son will turn around and be able to live together with He Meimei.

……

Although Xie Changyuan is usually very casual and informal, he never cares about serious matters.

The matter of Guining...

King Zhongshan was a relative whom Chen Shulan respected very much. Even though Xie Changyuan felt that King Zhongshan was a little cold-blooded, he still took him seriously.

After Chen Shulan finished dressing up, Xie Changyuan took Chen Shulan to the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion.

Today, the palace opened the side door and laid a red carpet from the side door to Xie Changyuan and his carriage.

There was also a steward waiting at the side door, hunched over, looking like a little pomp.

Xie Changyuan got off the carriage and raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene, turned around and took Chen Shulan off the carriage.

The steward came forward with a smile and greeted the two of them, greeted "Miss" and "Uncle", and then led the two of them to the main hall to meet King Zhongshan.

The King of Zhongshan has always been busy with official duties, but today he made some special time.

When he arrived at the main hall, King Zhongshan's eyes fell on Chen Shulan for the first moment, his eyes were kind and sharp.

After realizing that Chen Shulan's expression was gentle and not unhappy, her eyes completely warmed up, and then her eyes fell lightly on Xie Changyuan.

"I've met the old prince."

Xie Changyuan bowed his hands in greeting. He was still able to hold his own in front of such a sharp-eyed elder.

The King of Zhongshan looked at it for a moment and felt quite satisfied. He motioned for Xie Changyuan to take a seat and gave both him and Chen Shulan red seals.

Chen Zhiji and his wife were also in the main hall.

Chen Zhiji was okay, but his expression was as usual. Mrs. Chen's expression...

It looks like he wants to maintain a generous smile, but he really can't put on that expression.

Chen Shuwen and Chen Shuya followed her. Chen Shuwen showed a friendly smile to Xie Changyuan and Chen Shulan, while Chen Shuya had this face on her face. If the King of Zhongshan hadn't been there, she would have either thrown away her hands and left, or said some mean words.

Chen Shulan ignored them and only said a few words to her second uncle Chen Zhiji and her grandfather Zhongshan King.

After chatting with her for a while, King Zhongshan said: "Guangyang Hall has prepared a homecoming banquet. I will go over and use some later... Grandpa will go to the border defense after that."

"Going to the border?"

Chen Shulan was stunned for a moment, "Should we go back to the border to guard or -"

"Accompany His Royal Highness King Dingxi on patrol."

King Zhongshan explained in a gentle tone: "His Royal Highness King Dingxi was going to patrol the border when he arrived. He has been delayed until now because of some trivial matters, but we can't delay it any longer."

Xie Changyuan thought to himself: What trivial matters are you delaying? Isn't it because you are worried about the position of Yun Qi's concubine?

This is really not a trivial matter.

Chen Shulan nodded and asked, "How long will it take? When will we set off?"

"We will set off in three days. There are many border defense fortresses in northern Hebei. It's hard to say how long the inspection will take. It will probably take... at least a month."

Chen Shulan nodded again, thinking to herself, wouldn't it mean that she wouldn't be able to come back during the New Year?
It is now the twelfth lunar month.

King Zhongshan smiled and patted Chen Shulan on the shoulder, "Let's go and have dinner with grandpa."

"it is good."

Chen Shulan held King Zhongshan's arm and walked all the way to Guangyang Hall.
