Chapter 1771: Chapter 1764: Delicious Chu Heng
Xiao Yu typically wouldn’t look at these things; he just took them to Su Miaoyan to pass the time.
This time, Su Miaoyan had no leisure to look at them and had the steward set them aside.
But when the steward picked them up, the wind blew, and the first sheet of poetry fell down. Su Miaoyan picked it up casually. She wasn’t moved by the poetic talent, but instantly she saw the simple name at the signature: Xiao Ning.
"Xiao Ning? Who is he? Is he the person we just met?"
Su Miaoyan handed the poetry sheet to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu, initially calm and composed, felt his heart tremble hard upon seeing this name.
Xiao Ning.
The name of their son.
Was this a coincidence or intentional?
Xiao Yu determined that naturally, it leaned more towards the latter.
But he had to admit, this poetry sheet, this name, caught his attention.
Rong Ning returned to the city inn; to hide his identity, he disguised as a candidate rushing to the capital for the exam, so he could only stay at an inn with Rong Yue.
Rong Yue, accustomed to luxury, started complaining endlessly as soon as they moved in, her little face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.
Rong Ning, however, remained expressionless, with no intention to comfort her, and instead said, "If you can’t get used to it, I will send you back to Beiling City immediately."
"I can get used to it!"
Rong Yue instantly sprang up from the bed, grabbed her skirt, and enduring her delicacy, sat halfway on the hard red-lacquered wooden chair. She tugged at Rong Ning’s sleeve in a flattering manner, "Brother, since we’re already here, and you’ve laid out your plans, if you suddenly send me back, people will suspect if this candidate has a missing sister, right?"
Rong Ning glanced at her, "Such trivial schemes, you’re quite willing to use your wits."
Yet she never pondered anything serious.
If she didn’t only engage in fanciful schemes, father wouldn’t simply let her be a carefree and lively princess.
Rong Yue pursed her lips and said nothing, who said her schemes were insignificant?
She had thought it through, once brother succeeded in the spring examinations, there would surely be an opportunity to meet Chu Heng, and she would naturally get to witness this Great Cheng Crown Prince’s charisma.
Chu Heng sat upright in the imperial study and sneezed forcefully.
Zhuo Junli stood below and joked, "Has the emperor been particularly missed by others recently? Sneezing nonstop every day."
One might mistakenly think he had a severe cold!
Chu Heng took the handkerchief from Sun Wu, wiped his nose, and while finishing the documents at hand, said, "Perhaps it is because mother is returning soon, and she misses this prince more."
"Your Highness, stop deceiving yourself." Zhuo Junli laughed mischievously, "Rather, it’s probably the noble ladies of Jiang Du City missing you more than the empress and wondering when they can have you."
Chu Heng put down his pen, rubbed his forehead, "Prime Minister Zhuo, does this prince seem that delectable?"
Zhuo Junli nodded earnestly, "If I were a woman, and of the same age as Your Highness, I would probably try every means to have Your Highness for myself."
Chu Heng was not very interested in women, so he didn’t know how precious he was in the eyes of women everywhere.
The Great Cheng Crown Prince, young and talented, handsome and refined, with a very gentle and kind temperament.
Chu Heng remained indifferent, even asking Zhuo Junli, "Has your family prepared dinner, Prime Minister Zhuo? Today, Aunt and her family have come, and Uncle said he prepared a late-night snack, waiting for this prince to visit the Marquis’s Manor to see the sisters."
Zhuo Junli was about to say that he wouldn’t mind going together to eat, but Chu Heng had already stood up, smiling as he walked past him.
He was merely inquiring if there was dinner at home and had no intention of taking him along to eat.
