Chapter 189: Fulfilling Promises

Although Xie Wei was already dressed and even slightly groomed, he only wore a simple thin white robe, with a green wood hairpin that loosened his hair and a faint expression. He was a bit more easy-going and casual than when his clothes were usually tidied up.

Jiang Xuening also knew that she had just stood up.

After all, Xie Wei is always impeccable from the tip of his hair to the corner of his robe.

When facing Xie Wei, she was mostly hesitant, which made her appear more reserved than before. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Mr. Hui, we have already had our meal. It's because the students were not thoughtful and didn't bother us by sending a message first. If it's inconvenient for you, the students will come another day."

Xie Wei finally glanced at her.

There was a fleeting silence in her eyes, and as she pursed her lips, there was an added impatience. However, she only pointed to the position opposite her, gesturing for her to sit down, and at the same time called out, "Dao Qin, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Jiang Xuening didn't dare to walk too close when she entered the door, and her body stiffened slightly, standing still.

Xie Wei sneered, "Do you want to stand and watch me finish?"

Jiang Xuening finally woke up.

In the past two years, Xie Wei has been known as keeping a low profile in the court. Once he left the capital and came to Jinling, it was clear that he had something to discuss with her, and time was urgent, so it was necessary to leave her to speak. If she didn't sit down and wait for Xie Wei to have Congee, wouldn't she be embarrassed? Even if she is not embarrassed, the other party may not be able to eat Congee freely.

She was confused.

Over the years, I have taken care of many things and interacted with many people. How come when I first meet, I feel nervous and make mistakes, not even turning this small bend?

Feeling a bit suffocated in her heart, Jiang Xuening cursed at herself and quickly said, "Thank you, sir. It's better to be respectful than obedient." After hesitating for a moment, she walked over to the table and sat down.

This position happens to be opposite Xie Wei.

There is only one table between the two people.

Outside, Daoqin added a bowl of chopsticks and brought in a bowl to serve Congee for her.

Xie Wei didn't lift his eyes either. His slender fingers held onto the ivory chopsticks, picked up a lotus root and put it into the bowl, saying, "Didn't she have her own hands?"

Jiang Xuening's eyes twitched as she listened.

Daoqin's scalp tightened and she didn't dare to look around. She whispered "yes" and quickly put down the bowl and returned it.

This posture is like that of a prince of Yan.

In the past, Xie Wei was always good tempered. There were few things in the world that could make his face turn cold. Even in his past life, he rebelled and slaughtered the imperial family, and he was gentle and gentle, with little killing intent.

But now

If it had been two years ago when there was still nothing to notice, Jiang Xuening might have already put on a smiling face to calm down this young master, but now he dare not exceed the limit at all.

She thought she didn't hear anything. She was relieved that Xie Wei had just woken up and had a temper. She quickly filled herself with half a bowl of Congee and sipped it.

Xie Wei didn't say anything anymore.

A person like him with a cold face and very appropriate behavior, pleasing to the eye, reminds Jiang Xuening of the time when he went to Beijing.

At that time, it wasn't Mr. Xie, Master Xie.

I just thought it was a distant relative of Jiang Mansion, a sick young master who couldn't be more expressive. Holding Zhang Qin halfway onto the car, although she spoke very little, every move was different from her former playmates in the mountain village, just like the clear breeze in the mountains and the bright moon on the pine trees.

She was already nervous about going to Beijing.

Will the wealthy families in the capital look down on themselves who grew up in the countryside?

She has never studied any etiquette poems or books, and although she has heard a lot from the accompanying woman, she still doesn't know anything about them

Encountering such a person made her unable to resist looking down at herself.

Fear and inferiority intertwined, forcing her to lift her frame, raise her chin, resist him, and show strong hostility towards such a person.

===Kunning Section 236===

She deliberately knocked over his tea cup and tore off his music sheet

But secretly, unable to restrain his sense of inferiority, he quietly imitated him, hoping to learn something and let others take a high look when he arrived in the capital.

Do you remember taking advantage of Xie Wei's absence from the car and tearing apart his music sheet? The sickly seedling who didn't say much along the way, for the first time, took the torn sheet and asked her, "What did you do?"

She pretended to be silly and said, "What?"

Upon hearing this, the other person's face slowly turned cold. The veins on the back of the hand holding the sheet music were slightly bulging, but she gave her a sharp smile and said, "This time I'll treat you as young and immature. If you try again next time."

To be honest, even though Xie has a sickly face and a somewhat listless expression, she looks really good-looking when she smiles. As a young woman, she couldn't help but be shaken, and her back was cold and a bit scared.

But the other person finished speaking and turned back into the car.

Jiang Xuening didn't take this sentence to heart either, just thinking that this person was just venting his anger. She's just a distant relative who lives under someone else's protection. She's the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital. How dare he treat himself?

So not only did he dare to tear apart his music sheet, but he also smashed his piano in a fit of anger when he was in trouble, and I didn't see what this person really did to me.

After returning to Beijing for a while, I accidentally learned about Xie Wei's identity.

In that moment, a real chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her forehead, causing her to shiver and feel a bit scared.

The ignorant are fearless.

Jiang Xuening drank Congee silently. When he thought of it, the spoon bit into his mouth and smiled.

Xie Wei heard him look up at her.

Jiang Xuening was momentarily distracted, revealing a hint of her true nature. With a pair of Xie Wei's gaze, her figure immediately stiffened.

Xie Wei's gaze fell on the spoon she was biting.

Jiang Xuening casually put down the spoon.

Xie Wei asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Xuening had intended to give a perfunctory answer, but it was evident that Xie Wei had a cold and icy face, and he didn't wear the usual spring breeze smile. For some reason, he didn't feel used to it and didn't feel well. He also remembered the difficulties that Shen Zhiyi might face on her side, feeling flustered. After all, he slowly said, "I just suddenly felt that things are not things, and people are not..."

Despite her light makeup, she still has a bright face.

Two years later, the delicate facial features were as scorching as peach blossoms on the branches, completely blooming. When the thick eyelashes gently droop, there is a hint of tranquil melancholy in the thin shadow cast.

Xie Wei suddenly remembered that summer, the small green apricot on the windowsill.

The faint restlessness in my heart surged up again.

He once warned Zhang Zhe not to provoke anyone who was in trouble, but how could his troubles be less than those of Zhang Zhe? However, in the end, it still crossed the boundary and revealed clues. This is definitely not what he should do.

Xie Wei, who had no appetite, put down a small white porcelain spoon and landed it on the edge of the bowl. For the first time, he made a slight collision sound and said, "I have read the secret letter I gave you?"

Jiang Xuening's fingers trembled lightly and said, "I've seen it."

She recalled the contents of the secret letter, her eyes suddenly turning red, and choked up, saying, "Your Highness is at least a princess of the dynasty, with royal bloodline. The Holy One is her closest brother, why waste your family affection and be so cold?"

The secret letter was originally an urgent report from the border, and it was reported to be related to the affairs of the Tartar King's Court.

One is the barbarian tribe, ambitious and ambitious. After two years of nurturing and accumulating strength, they have begun to secretly reorganize their troops and horses, fearing that there may be any changes that will be detrimental to the Central Plains; The second is that Princess Leyang is pregnant and pregnant with barbarian flesh and blood. Due to the upcoming changes in the Tatar situation, she secretly seeks help from the court and hopes to escape from the royal court before the war begins!

That's Shen Zhiyi's plea for help.

In her previous life, she only knew the ending, but did not know that as a married princess, Shen Zhiyi had sent a distress letter to the court before the incident, let alone that Emperor Shen Lang, Shen Zhiyi's elder brother, would have given such a response——

Give three feet of white silk and a cup of poisonous wine!

Before the Tatars take any action, take their own lives first to avoid becoming hostages, bullying or humiliating, and to uphold the dignity of the princess and the glory of the country!

Xie Wei had already read the confidential letter and asked her lightly, "Tomorrow I will depart for the border. Can you go with me?"

Jiang Xuening looked at him and said, "What are you going to do, sir?"

Xie Wei frowned and said, "If you have no idea in your heart, why are you coming today?"

Jiang Xuening remained silent.

Xie Wei said, "Princess Chang will not die. If war breaks out in early spring next year, she will become a hostage, putting our country in a dilemma. The court's finances are in full swing, and preparations for the war are urgent. We will never go to war early to save anyone. Whether you want to welcome the princess back or her coffin is all in this thought."

Although it was indeed anticipated earlier, when Xie Wei said these words, Jiang Xuening still felt a tremble in her heart, feeling a sense of panic and unease being swept into the current——

What is the way to welcome the princess back instead of her coffin?

She was full of emotions, closed her eyes, and clenched her hand.

Xie Wei suddenly laughed and said, "Are you afraid?"

Jiang Xuening gritted her teeth and said, "How could that be!"

Xie Wei was originally the ultimate winner, but now that Yan Lin's wings are abundant, even if he raises an issue in advance, there may not be a chance of winning! Besides, how could she watch the princess be executed?

She promised.

Hold that handful of homeland, welcome her back to her homeland!

Just

Jiang Xuening slowly opened her eyes and said, "I promised the princess that I would never break the promise. But have you really considered it carefully, sir?"

Xie Wei's smile faded and he looked back at her, slowly saying, "I don't break my trust in anyone either."
