Chapter 125: The goal was not achieved, but the drama continues
"Okay, Prince and Madam, don't worry, we will definitely keep this matter in mind."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely ask around when I get back."
"A friend of mine has a missing daughter. I'll go back and ask her."
The crowd responded enthusiastically.
"Then I'll trouble you all. I will ask the prince to personally draw some portraits of Miss Ming'er, and you can all take them back. I believe that the relatives must have similarities. With the portraits, it will be easier to help Miss Ming'er find her relatives."
"The Crown Prince's wife is really thoughtful. Please draw a few more pictures, Crown Prince."
"Sure." Ji Chuhe responded calmly.
Spring ploughing only takes a few days, and after ploughing everyone still has to go back home.
Xiao Jincheng wanted to take this opportunity to spread the rumors about Xiao Yanan to the seven county cities.
Ji Chuhe used the same method.
However, Xiao Jincheng was unable to resist.
Ming'er was so angry that he almost died!
Ji Chuhe also wants the prince to paint her portrait. Is this a wanted warrant with a reward?
If Ji Chuhe does this, will her true identity be revealed?
She glanced at Xiao Jincheng and it seemed that Xiao Jincheng had no way to stop this.
Xiao Yan'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ji Chuhe with some gratitude.
If Ji Chuhe had not arrived in time to suppress these rumors, I really don’t know what serious consequences would have occurred.
After everyone left, Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an also returned to their residence.
As soon as the group entered the house, Ming'er rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Yan'an's hand tightly.
"Brother Yan'an, are you going to send me away tomorrow? I don't want to leave yet, so please let me stay, okay?" Ming'er pulled Xiao Yan'an's hand and shook it left and right, acting coquettishly.
Xiao Yan'an pulled his hand out with a cold face.
Ji Chuhe was already sitting in the main seat, watching this scene without any reaction.
"Brother Yan An, what did I do wrong? Why do you hate me when your wife comes? Did she say something to you?"
When Xiao Yan'an heard that Ming'er wanted to get close to Ji Chuhe, his face became even uglier, "Ming'er, there is a gender difference between you and me. I didn't consider this before and almost ruined your reputation. You should also be careful about your distance. No matter if it's me or someone else, as long as they are men, you should keep your distance."
Ming'er's eyes were red. "I have had no relatives since I was a child. I regard Brother Yan An as my relative."
"Ming'er, don't you have Master Huijing?" Ji Chuhe's voice suddenly rang out.
"I...I mean relatives with blood ties."
"The prince has no blood relationship with you." Ji Chuhe continued with a smile.
Ming'er's face froze for a moment, and she was still struggling to explain, "What I mean is that I regard Brother Yan An as a relative who is related by blood."
"Miss Ming'er, you absolutely cannot do that. The status of a prince is so noble. You must not have such thoughts. If it gets out, you will be laughed at. Others will laugh at you for being ignorant and trying to curry favor with the powerful." Dong Ling couldn't help but interject.
Ming'er's expression suddenly became even uglier.
"Prince~" She placed all her hopes on Xiao Yan'an.
Xiao Yanan felt a little impatient. Why did he feel like he had been stuck with a dog-skin plaster and couldn't get rid of it?
"Don't you care about your master's illness?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course I care, but Brother Yan An, didn't you send someone to heal Master? With you making proper arrangements, I'm not worried at all."
"Since Miss Ming'er doesn't want to go back tomorrow, it won't be too late to go back after the spring plowing is over." Ji Chuhe suddenly said.
This sentence shocked everyone in the room.
Including Ming'er.
Ji Chuhe has his own plans.
Xiao Yanan hasn't seen the truth of the matter yet.
Ming'er's role has not yet been completed, and she must be given some opportunities to perform. Helping Xiao Yan'an regain his reputation is not Ji Chuhe's ultimate goal.
"Madam, let's send her back tomorrow." Xiao Yan'an's attitude was firm.
"Your Highness, this is a bit heartless." Ji Chuhe responded indifferently.
Xiao Yan'an choked and quickly explained, "How can this be heartless? Madam, you should understand what I mean."
"I know Miss Ming'er absolutely doesn't want to go back." Ji Chuhe looked at Ming'er, with a hint of playfulness in his smile.
"The prince is going to paint a portrait of Miss Ming'er. At least every citizen should have one. The prince should start painting tonight." Ji Chuhe said, and before Xiao Yan'an could speak, he ordered Mianzhu: "Mianzhu, prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the prince."
"Yes." Mianzhu immediately went to prepare.
Xiao Yan'an did not refute Ji Chuhe's arrangement and walked to the table and sat down.
Ming'er followed immediately.
"You sit over there." Xiao Yan'an pointed to a place a few steps away.
Ming'er took a few steps back feeling aggrieved.
Ji Chuhe and Dong Ling did not leave either. They just watched Xiao Yanan paint.
After about half an hour, Xiao Yan'an finished the first picture.
"The prince's painting skills are truly amazing, almost the same as the real person." Ji Chuhe praised without hesitation.
Xiao Yan'an put down his pen without even glancing at the portrait.
"Madam, it's getting late and you've been working hard all day. You should take a rest first."
"I see that there are not enough rooms here. Dongling, Mianzhu and I will squeeze into the master bedroom, and the outer room will be left for Miss Ming'er. Your Highness, please stay with Tianxi for one night." Ji Chuhe allocated the accommodation.
Xiao Yan'an felt a little disappointed, but he had no objection.
Ming'er was a little surprised. She heard that Ji Chuhe has not yet consummated her marriage with the prince. They really don't live together!
"Madam, Mianzhu and I will go make your bed first." Dong Ling happily took Mianzhu away.
"Prince, you should also go to bed early." Ji Chuhe said lightly.
"Okay." Xiao Yan'an nodded and walked out.
Tianxi had just made his bed and was about to lie down for a good sleep when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around quickly and was shocked to see it was the prince.
"Prince, are you still going to sleep here with me tonight?"
Xiao Yanan sat directly on the bed, "Don't talk like that, it makes me seem like I'm here to favor you!"
Tianxi turned around with a look of grievance and pulled out the long bench that he had thrown into the corner.
Xiao Yanan lay in bed, not feeling sleepy at all.
I thought a lot.
Thinking about his childhood, how his mother and father loved and spoiled him, and also about what happened after the concubine came to Huaiyang. Not long after, Xu Yan'er also entered the mansion.
Later, he went to the academy, and then returned to the palace, where his mother began to arrange a marriage for him.
It seemed that he had never experienced any setbacks in his life. Except for the matter of Xu Yan'er, where he and his mother had a very stalemate, he did whatever he wanted in other matters.
Ji Chuhe said that there are probably only a few people in this world who can do whatever they want.
He is indeed better than many, many people.
But what has he done over the years?
Looking back, there seemed to be nothing worth showing off.
An unprecedented feeling of frustration came over me.
Xiao Yan'an didn't sleep a wink that night.
Ji Chuhe asked Dong Ling to come and help him wash up, and then have dinner together.
Dong Ling served seriously throughout the whole process without saying a word.
Xiao Yan'an didn't say anything either.
It was not until he came to Ji Chuhe that Xiao Yan'an took a deep breath and his expression eased a little.
"Brother Yan An." Ming'er's voice suddenly sounded.
When Xiao Yanan heard this voice, his temples began to throb!
