Chapter 341 The Mouse Meets the Cat

Xie Jin curled his lips casually: "In this huge imperial capital, there are many people who want me to take advantage of you. You should feel honored that I am willing to take advantage of you."

Xuanyuan Yao gritted his teeth: "Should I kneel down to thank you?"

"That's not necessary." Xie Jin said calmly, "Please prepare the bed tonight. Don't forget to come find me."

Xuanyuan Yao raised his eyebrows: "Who goes up and who goes down?"

Onlookers: "!!!"

What's going on?

Have you asked who is up and who is down?

So exciting?

"I have the final say on my territory." Xie Jin said calmly, with a pair of phoenix eyes that were full of charm, "You can do whatever I tell you to do."

Xuanyuan Yao sneered: "Do you believe that this prince makes you unable to straighten your back?"

Everyone was horrified: "!!!!!!" What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

Xie Jin was about to speak when he heard Xuanyuan Qi cough lightly: "There are two young men here who don't understand the world. Do you two want to pay attention to your sense of propriety?"

A young man who doesn’t understand the world?

Xie Jin turned his eyes, glanced at the flower hall casually, and said in a calm voice: "Master Hua must be over eighteen years old."

Xuanyuan Hua looked humble: "You are seventeen years old."

Xie Jin snorted: "You're at an age where you can eat meat."

Xuanyuan Hua: "..."

Xuanyuan Qi narrowed his eyes.

"Is this Mr. Chen from Prince Wei's residence?" Xie Jin turned his eyes slightly and looked at the young man who had been standing quietly aside. "You should be over eighteen years old."

Xuanyuan Chen smiled warmly: "Thank you very much, Lord Jiu, for your concern. Ah Chen has just turned seventeen this year."

"Oh, that's not a young man who doesn't understand the world." Xie Jin spoke calmly, his eyes falling on his pale face, with amusement and thoughtfulness in his eyes, "But why is your face so ugly? I'm so scared. arrive?"

"No." Xuanyuan Chen smiled lightly, "Achen has been feeling cold for the past two days and feels a little unwell."

"Since I occasionally feel the cold, I should wear more clothes. Why do I look so weak?"

Xie Jin snapped his fingers as he spoke, and immediately a servant of the Xie family came over and handed Xuanyuan Chen the fox fur cloak he had brought with him to protect his master from the cold.

Xuanyuan Chen was slightly surprised, and calmly took a step back, bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Jiu, for your kindness. A Chen doesn't need it."

Xie Jin took the cloak and put it on his shoulders nonchalantly. The action seemed casual but was too strong to refuse, "Put it on, I have never worn this new cloak."

Xuanyuan Chen was speechless for a moment.

It’s not that he dislikes anything old or new. What does Mr. Xie Jiu, the Xie family’s jeweler, wear that isn’t top-notch and expensive? He just... just wasn't used to being cared for so much.

However, the cloak was already on him. If he continued to refuse and took off the cloak and returned it to the other party, it would be unreasonable.

Xuanyuan Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly: "Thank you, Master Jiu."

"Tsk." Xuanyuan Yao's tone was sour, "Ajin cares about him so much, isn't he afraid of my taste?"

In less than half a day, the title has changed from "Xie Jiuye" to "Ah Jin". Who else is more familiar than him?

Xie Jin said calmly: "I can give you double pampering tonight."

Xuanyuan Qi raised his head and looked at the sky: "We are all serious gentlemen and we cannot listen to such flirting. Let's go to the East Palace first."

Xuanyuan Yu, Xuanyuan Chen and Xuanyuan Hua all followed.

Chu Xuanyi's eyes fell on Chu Nanyi, "Are you going back now?"

Chu Nanyi said calmly: "I——"

"Nanyi, come with me to the East Palace." Xie Jin put his hand around Chu Nanyi's neck, "I have something to tell you later."

Chu Nanyi glanced at Xuanyuan Yao calmly: "What should I do if the little prince tastes it?"

"It doesn't matter." Xuanyuan Yao said calmly, "Just compensate me tonight."

The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes.

Su Hanyu couldn't listen anymore and said to Chu Xuanyi: "Let's go out of the palace together?"

Chu Xuanyi didn't say anything. He glanced at Xuanyuan Yao and Xie Jin, who were arm-in-arm, and his expression couldn't help but become darker.

After walking out of the imperial garden, Su Hanyu said lightly: "I always have a very strange feeling today."

"What does it feel like?"

"The Prince of Huainan looks handsome and elegant, but in fact he is arrogant and unruly. He has never paid attention to the noble son of the imperial capital, but his attitude towards the regent is really puzzling, like..." Su Hanyu thought for a while. , "Like a mouse meets a cat."

Chu Xuanyi said calmly: "Strong people are arrogant, but if they meet someone stronger, they usually have only two reactions. One is jealousy and disobedience, and the other is awe and submission."

"So you think Xuanyuan Yao's attitude towards the regent belongs to the latter?"

Chu Xuanyi nodded: "Probably, and the identity of King Huainan is somewhat sensitive. Now is the critical period of succession and power change. They should be low-key and humble."

Su Hanyu's eyebrows deepened slightly: "Even if Xuanyuan Yao's low profile is understandable, what about Xie Jin?"

"What's wrong with Xie Jin?"

"No one in the capital knows the name of the ninth master of the Xie family." Su Hanyu glanced at him, "This is truly a master who has no relatives. Do you need me to say more?"

Chu Xuanyi's eyebrows were faint: "You mean, Xie Jin's attitude is also a bit strange?"

"Being completely convinced by a man when you first meet him can happen to anyone, but it will never happen to Xie Jin."

Chu Xuanyi nodded: "Well, I agree with your point of view."

Su Hanyu looked gloomy: "So is it possible that Xie Jin knew Rong Yu before?"

"Do you have evidence?" Chu Xuanyi asked calmly, "Besides, even if they know each other, what does it mean?"

Su Hanyu was silent for a moment, and his tone became heavy: "Does it count as collusion with the enemy?"

Chu Xuanyi looked at him in surprise: "Princess Feng is about to ascend the throne, Rong Yu will be the regent of Dongling, do you think Xie Jin's closeness to them at this time counts as collusion with the enemy?"

Who is the enemy?

Su Hanyu said calmly: "You should understand what I mean."

Collaboration with the enemy, of course, is not collusion with the enemy today, but before Princess Feng and the regent came.

But he obviously also understood that what he said was no longer tenable at the moment. After all, no matter what happened in the past, Princess Feng and the regent are indeed members of the Dongling royal family, and they are also supreme and noble. There is no crime that can be put on them. But he knew in his heart that Xie Jin's behavior today was abnormal, not just Xie Jin, including Xuanyuan Qi, Xuanyuan Yao, and even Mo Lingan and Chu Nanyi.

Except for Mo Xuanwu who had not spoken much, everyone else seemed to know Rong Yu very well, and they did not show any hostility towards the regent from the Great Zhou, but rather had an inexplicable awe. The expected provocations, conflicts, and discussions were all gone.

The scene was so harmonious that it felt like a family dinner.

Only Su Hanyu, not sure if it was his illusion, always felt like he was under siege, because this feeling was not very obvious, and because several young masters in the flower hall had not spoken much, he ignored this feeling.
