Chapter 192 A secret promise
This sentence was confusing, but Huang Shaohua understood it. He didn't expect Xu Yingying to be so entangled in this matter, and hurriedly explained: "I know, Your Highness has always been like this, so I don't have any grudges in my heart."
"Besides, it's a good thing for me to move to this new house. After all, I am the county magistrate of Jun County, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Jun County. As the county magistrate, I naturally cannot escape contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a feud. If we continue to live in the same house, it will not be good for His Royal Highness."
Seeing Huang Shaohua say this, Xu Yingying also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, as long as you don't resent His Highness."
Huang Shaohua smiled and looked out of the carriage window. In fact, how could he possibly resent Li Siqi? With his personality, he could not get any benefits in the capital. It was Li Siqi who took great pains to transfer him away from the capital and let him be a county magistrate in Jun County. He could not let down such kindness no matter what.
The carriage swayed and stopped after a while. Huang Shaohua took Xu Yingying around. A courtyard with three entrances and three exits was indeed enough for one person and all the servants. Xu Yingying was relieved a little. To be safe, she still reminded Huang Shaohua, "This place is not far from where His Highness and I live. If there is anything, let the servants report it. We don't know what the prince is going to do at the moment, so it's better to be careful."
"I understand." Huang Shaohua nodded in agreement, and Xu Yingying left here with peace of mind.
On the way back home, Xu Yingying didn't want to take a carriage, so she decided to walk back alone. After all, this was the city center and the place with the most people in Jun County. Xu Yingying was not worried that Li Siming would attack her here, so she just put her mind at ease and began to look around at the small vendors.
If Li Siming was not in Jun County and had not caused such a big mess, Xu Yingying would go out for a walk when she had nothing to do on weekdays. But now that Jun County is undercurrent, she dare not walk around outside casually, for fear of giving Li Siming a chance.
Xu Yingying was strolling leisurely on the street when she saw a small gadget that looked very rare. She walked over and held it in her hands to examine it carefully. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She simply took out her purse and planned to buy it.
But at this moment, his arm was grabbed by someone, and then an arrogant voice came into Xu Yingying's ears, "Whose family are you from? Our princess wants to invite you over for a chat."
Xu Yingying felt a little annoyed for no reason. It sounded like she was just a maid. Xu Yingying had no interest in the princess she mentioned, so she ignored her and took out some copper coins and handed them to the vendor.
"Hello, I bought this." Xu Yingying was very polite to him. The maid standing next to him was even more angry when she saw that she was ignored. "Can't you hear me? It's your blessing that our princess likes you. Don't be shameless!"
After Xu Yingying carefully put away the things, she looked at the maid next to her and the princess she was talking about not far away.
The first time she saw the other person, her eyebrows raised. It was an acquaintance. Xu Yingying had seen her in Shangjing. She was Princess Li Qinyuan. This princess had a good reputation in Shangjing, but judging from the attitude of this maid, this princess was probably not simple.
Xu Yingying just stood there and watched without saying anything. The maid seemed even more annoyed, but considering that Xu Yingying was a "man", she did not dare to attack her. She just urged her viciously.
"What's wrong? Are you deaf?" After saying that, the maid dragged Xu Yingying to Li Qinyuan.
Xu Yingying had nothing to do, so she wanted to see what Li Qinyuan was trying to do. However, she disliked the maid pulling her, so she exerted a little force to snatch her arm back, and then stared at the maid coldly.
The maid was almost knocked to the ground by Xu Yingying's sudden action. Just as she was about to explode, she met Xu Yingying's gaze and felt a sudden chill on her back, but she quickly reacted.
But after that glance just now, she was a little afraid of Xu Yingying, so she simply stopped pulling her and just urged her to go faster.
Xu Yingying was not far away from Li Qinyuan, and she met Li Qinyuan face to face in just three or two steps.
After all, she is a princess from the capital, and Li Qinyuan is a pretty girl from a small family, and she is very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing Xu Yingying coming over, Li Qinyuan subconsciously raised her hand to tidy up her hair, and a ladylike smile rose on her face. She said to Xu Yingying: "I have met this gentleman, but I don't know his name. I can visit him another day."
As a princess, Xu Yingying didn't know what to say about being too flattering to a strange man. Li Qinyuan was a royal descendant after all, so she started questioning the man. Fortunately, they were not in Beijing, otherwise her words would have reached her parents' ears long ago.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess. It's just that I already have someone in my heart, so it's not easy for me to get involved with other women. I hope you can forgive me." Xu Yingying declined politely, neither humbly nor arrogantly. After that, she wanted to turn around and leave. She thought Li Qinyuan was a playful person, but now it seems that she is no different from other noble ladies in the capital. She must have appeared in Jun County just to play secretly.
Hearing Xu Yingying's refusal, Li Qinyuan's face twisted for a moment, and she signaled the maid to stop Xu Yingying, and then said: "Since this young master knows that I am a princess, you dare to refuse me. If I were not leaving the capital with other sisters this time, I would tie you back now, and Daddy would naturally not say anything to me. As for your sweetheart, how do you think I will treat her?"
"Princess, you...!" Xu Yingying's face was full of shame and annoyance, and it was unclear whether she was angry or ashamed. Seeing her like this, Li Qinyuan loved her even more.
"So, sir, have you thought it through?" Li Qinyuan approached Xu Yingying and looked at her face carefully.
A trace of struggle flashed across Xu Yingying's face, and then she accepted her fate helplessly.
Seeing this, Li Qinyuan's face lit up with joy, "Someone, come and take him away!"
After saying that, one of the guards following her walked up to Xu Yingying and grabbed her arm, as if he was afraid that she would run away.
"Miss Ben has an appointment with Keren today, so you should come with me." After saying that, Li Qinyuan took the lead and walked in front. Xu Yingying, who was "forced" to follow behind, was lost in thought.
If she remembered correctly, the "Keren" that Li Qinyuan mentioned just now should be the seventh princess of the royal family, Li Keren. Xu Yingying was very impressed by this princess. Although she had never met this princess, she had heard Li Siqi talk about her.
