Chapter 49 The Ninth Prince Wants Someone

"Who's there?" Chen Hanjing was an experienced warrior, and when he spoke in a serious tone, a murderous aura emanated from him.

Ordinary people would just be afraid.

The person hiding at the door came in quickly. It turned out to be a little maidservant beside Old Madam Hu.

She knelt in front of Chen Hanjing and Chen Qingyin, her voice trembling.

"I have met General Chen. It's... it's the old lady who heard that General Chen had arrived, so she asked me to come and help serve tea and water."

Chen Hanjing's eyes turned cold and he looked at his sister.

Hu Mianmian hummed twice.

Didn't Mrs. Hu send someone here specially at this time because she was afraid that Chen Qingyin would complain to her family?

She arranged this little maid to eavesdrop.

How could Hu Mianmian let her have her way?

The little guy immediately grabbed Chen Hanjing's sleeve.

"Uncle, come sit in my room and I'll show you my paintings!"

Chen Hanjing picked up Hu Mianmian with a smile: "Mianmian can draw now? Then my second uncle must go and see it."

He stood up and walked out with Hu Mianmian. Chen Qingyin lagged behind and saw that the maid wanted to follow them.

Chen Qingyin's eyes turned cold.

"You don't have to go with me. I have people waiting for you in my yard. Just tell the old lady that my second brother came here just to see Mianmian."

After saying this, she walked away with her head held high, and the little maidservant really didn't dare to chase her anymore.

Chen Hanjing carried Hu Mianmian as they passed the wind and rain corridor and saw several spacious courtyards.

Every time he thought they were almost there, Hu Mianmian would stretch out her little hand and point the way, saying, "We still have to turn a corner!"

When the "Fu Shou Mian Mian" courtyard appeared before his eyes, Chen Hanjing frowned deeply.

Such a small courtyard, with only a main house and a side room, is even worse than where the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion lives.

"Do you live in a place like this?" Chen Hanjing tilted his head and asked Chen Qingyin.

Chen Qingyin nodded slightly: "When we first divided the house, I asked for it myself. It's quiet here, and I can live well with Mianmian."

Hu Mianmian said in a baby voice: "Uncle, they chose the house first. Mother didn't want to live with Dad, so she picked a small courtyard to live with Mianmian."

Chen Hanjing pursed his lips and said nothing, but his expression was very unhappy.

All the people living in Liuhua Hutong are high-ranking officials of the second and third ranks.

The fact that Hu Yunshen and his family can live here is the result of Prime Minister Chen's hard work in petitioning for grace.

Who would have thought that the Hu family had the nerve to enjoy themselves by letting Chen Qingyin live in such a small yard with a child!

Chen Hanjing did not show his anger in front of Hu Mianmian.

But the little guy saw something.

Oh no! My scumbag dad is going to be in trouble!

Chen Hanjing probably saw that Chen Qingyin was not living a happy life, so he didn't say anything. However, before leaving, he left a piece of advice.

"The Chinese New Year is in two months. Come home and visit me then."

Chen Qingyin smiled, responded with a few words, and watched Chen Hanjing leave.

Chen Mansion, is it still her home now?

In the palace.

Prime Minister Chen waited until dusk before leaving the Ninth Prince's palace.

Xiao Jingli was forced to read for a whole day and looked very bad.

Seeing Prime Minister Chen was about to leave, Xiao Jingli asked coldly: "Can you bring your little granddaughter into the palace tomorrow?"

Prime Minister Chen turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Not yet."

Xiao Jingli was angry.

"I have read and memorized all the books you requested. What else do you want from me, Your Highness?"

Prime Minister Chen explained: "Don't misunderstand, Your Highness. It's not that I don't want to keep my promise, but according to the emperor's request, I can only come to teach Your Highness once every five days, so I won't come tomorrow."

Xiao Jingli's face darkened, and then he waved his hands irritably: "Back off, don't be an eyesore here."

Prime Minister Chen took Chen Dingshi away.

After leaving the palace, Chen Dingshi said fearfully: "Grandfather, can you please not call me next time? Ask my elder brother to go with you!"

Prime Minister Chen frowned: "What's wrong? Isn't it great to be able to accompany His Majesty the Ninth Prince to study and give him a good rest?"

Chen Dingshi shook his head like a rattle.

"No, no, no, I don't dare to come again, Ninth Prince, you are so scary!"

He would suddenly burst into laughter, with a sinister look on his face, looking at everyone with a fierce look.

Chen Dingshi swore that he had never seen such a mentally torn person!

After Prime Minister Chen and the others left, Xiao Jingli leaned against the couch and fell into silence.

His dark eyes were filled with contemplation.

Judging from the current situation, any strong emotions from Hu Mianmian would affect him.

The most urgent task is to let her enter the palace and stay by his side for a while. The magic power emitted by Hu Po can nourish his cultivation.

The key is how to get Hu Mianmian into the palace?

Prime Minister Chen seemed to be happy to agree to everything, but he was still so rebellious at his age.

He said everything nicely, but when asked to bring Hu Mianmian into the palace, he refused in every way.

The eunuchs around Xiao Jingli were trying to please him.

Then he asked, "Ninth Prince, what are you worried about? Why don't you tell me and I will help you think of a solution."

Xiao Jingli raised his eyebrows: "You? Do you have a way to let Hu Mianmian enter the palace?"

The eunuch was stunned.

He thought the Ninth Prince was thinking about something important, but it turned out to be just this?

The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing. You are a prince, extremely noble. If you want to see someone, just pass the order and someone will naturally bring Miss Hu to you."

This was the first time Xiao Jingli heard of it.

"I don't have to go through Prime Minister Chen?"

"Of course not. Your Highness can see whoever he wants to see."

Xiao Jingli was very pleased. It turned out that the problem could be solved so easily.

"Send an order now to have Hu Mianmian enter the palace."

"Yes." The eunuch bowed and took his leave, leaving the matter to the palace maid.

then.

Just after noon, Chen Qingyin sat in the pavilion holding Hu Mianmian, intending to digest the food before taking the little guy back for a nap.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper came running over.

"Madam, someone has come from the palace, saying that the Ninth Prince wants to summon our young lady to the palace to study with him!"

Liang Ruosheng, who was passing by not far away, heard it and stopped suddenly.

The Ninth Prince? Summoning Hu Mianmian?

She quickly leaned in to eavesdrop.

Chen Qingyin frowned: "The Ninth Prince has never seen Mianmian, how could he think of summoning her to the palace to accompany him to study?"

The housekeeper said, "I heard that the Prime Minister is the teacher of the Ninth Prince recently and is responsible for teaching knowledge. Maybe the Prime Minister mentioned our young lady, which is why the Ninth Prince is interested."

This explanation does make sense.

"Mianmian, then you..." Chen Qingyin said as she lowered her head, only to find that Hu Mianmian was originally standing beside her. However, the little guy had already tiptoed and taken several steps.

It looks like he wants to sneak away.

Chen Qingyin was surprised: "Mianmian, where are you going? The Ninth Prince sent someone to pick you up to study with him in the palace, don't you want to go?"

Hu Mianmian was caught and couldn't escape, so she could only turn around silently.

"Mom, I don't want to go."

The Ninth Prince, isn't that the stinky white tiger!

She walked into a trap only when she entered the palace.

Although the tiger soul is in her body now, Baihu dare not do anything to her, but he might abuse her!

Hu Mianmian is unwilling to fall into the trap.

The housekeeper was a little anxious: "If the young lady doesn't go, how can we explain to the palace maid? The people sent by His Highness the Ninth Prince are still waiting in the front yard."

Just as Chen Qingyin was thinking of a solution, a voice came.

"I, I can enter the palace in place of the young lady."

Chen Qingyin turned her head and saw Liang Ruosheng walking towards her quickly.
