Xie Ren suddenly rushed out with the cat in his arms, and regardless of the shocked gazes around him, he got off his horse and ran towards Jiang Ningyao.
Before she even got close, she saw the butterfly hairpin on her temples, embedded with gems of various colors, colorful and dazzling.
Just like Shen Xunzhou, there was obviously a group of people in the forest, but he stood out from the crowd and stood out.
Xie Ren's heart felt sour, sore and blocked, and he was also jealous.
He turned over and dismounted, and walked up to Jiang Ningyao with the cat in his arms: "I am here to escort you with Huanhuan."
A very clumsy and improper reason.
Jiang Ningyao chuckled and raised her eyebrows: "Has the cat been tamed?"
Xie Ren raised his head and said bluntly: "If you can't tame it, I'll turn it over."
"Princess, do you want to watch it now or go home?" Xie Ren looked at her with a confused look.
He is not afraid of embarrassment. If Jiang Ningyao speaks, let alone backflip, she can tell him to roll around.
If he can do it, he will naturally not be timid, let alone refuse.
Through the mask, Jiang Ningyao could see the confidence on his face.
Jiang Ningyao met his gaze and sneered coldly: "We are discussing the way of learning with Shen Tanhua. Your three-legged cat Kung Fu cannot reach the level of elegance..."
Sensing the derogatory meaning in the words, Jiang Ningyao suddenly paused, the annoyance in her eyes swept away.
She looked at Xie Ren, who smiled playfully, as if nothing was wrong.
Jiang Ningyao suddenly felt that she was being sentimental and ordered in a cold voice: "Back off!"
Those two words were so blunt that even the most careless person could detect her annoyance, but they just didn't know what she was upset about.
Xie Ren hugged the cat and obediently retreated behind Jiang Ningyao.
Jiang Ningyao calmed down her thoughts, turned to look at Shen Xunzhou, and said slowly: "Mr. Shen, please continue."
Others also echoed and urged: "Mr. Shen, continue, continue to talk. I just listened to the few words of the master, and it was like enlightenment..."
Shen Xunzhou looked back at the captain of the guard who suddenly appeared, and then at the butterfly hairpin that Jiang Ningyao suddenly wore, and her ups and downs of emotions, thinking thoughtfully in his heart.
"Master Shen?"
The urging came again, Shen Xunzhou recovered his thoughts and continued to argue with others.
The words on the court were fierce and impassioned, but Xie Ren couldn't listen to a word.
He looked at Jiang Ningyao, guessing where her anger came from. He hadn't guessed the reason yet, but what he saw on her face was full of admiration for Shen Xunzhou.
He couldn't help but cast his eyes on Shen Xunzhou.
Shen Xunzhou is indeed outstanding. No wonder she wants to set up a platform for him and give him the wind to help him rise to the top.
He was extremely knowledgeable and insightful, and he was able to talk to several people with ease, but for a moment, the focus of the entire literary conference was focused on him.
The scene in front of him was inexplicably familiar. Xie Ren suddenly felt like he had returned to his youth. There was a game debate in the academy. The eldest brother was one against ten, the second brother was eloquent, and the third brother hit the nail on the head...
Just like Shen Xunzhou in front of him, they can win everyone's attention and shine as soon as they appear.
But he could only stand in the crowd and silently applaud them.
Every time his father beat him, he would say: You only have a face like your elder brother, but you haven't learned any skills.
He always disappoints his parents and everyone.
What the elder brother can accomplish easily, he has to learn for a long time.
The eldest brother said that he would join the army to serve the country, so he made great achievements and became a general.
The eldest brother said that he would assist Jiang Huairu in ascending the throne, so Jiang Huairu became the prince, eradicated the third prince, and sat firmly in the East Palace.
They made great achievements, which were shocking and earth-shaking, but he couldn't even do a small thing well.
I just make do with reading, but I am not steady in doing things.
Not to mention getting into trouble, the family left him in charge of the business, but he was deceived all over the place on the first day, and in the end he had no choice but to go to a gambling house to make up for the lost money.
Although Jiang Ningyao was facing Shen Xunzhou, she couldn't help but glance at Xie Ren behind her from the corner of her eye. She saw his head that was unconsciously hanging down and he didn't dare to raise his gaze.
The coward who is afraid that others have too high expectations and only dares to pretend to be Xie Yuan even if he does good things, has low self-esteem again.
The two of them had different thoughts, and there was a sudden commotion outside the forest.
Xie Ren and Jiang Ningyao both raised their heads and looked over.
I saw a group of people arriving outside the peach blossom forest at some point. They behaved frivolously and looked careless.
They were gathered not far away. Although they did not get close, their lewd eyes were looking at the female relatives here, especially Jiang Ningyao, who was the most eye-catching person in the field. While looking at them, they started to comment and whisper, which was very uncomfortable.
"Princess is meeting friends here. Please give way to the rest of the crowd." The accompanying guards stepped forward to evict her.
After hearing this, the group of people did not retreat, but started to cheer excitedly.
"This peach blossom has bloomed, can't we enjoy it?"
"The princess is so arrogant. She is here on the top of the mountain, on this road, and on this grassland. We can't just stand and watch? What's the point!"
Obviously, this is a group of ruffians who are deliberately looking for trouble.
Jiang Ningyao's expression was calm, but there were not many guards accompanying him today, and there were many female relatives present. If there was a conflict, and they would be shocked or disturbed, they would all suffer losses.
"Xue Yue, take someone to escort all the ladies back to the carriage. We will stop here today. I will invite you all to the princess mansion for tea another day."
Jiang Ningyao stood up, and without thinking, Xie Ren immediately stepped forward to grab her hand and escort her back to the carriage. Shen Xunzhou also stepped forward and stood in front of Xie Ren.
Shen Xunzhou looked at Xie Ren holding Jiang Ningyao's hand and looked up at Xie Ren.
Ximu handed over, and the emotions in their eyes were no longer as calm as they were yesterday.
Shen Xunzhou's eyes were full of warning: "I'll escort the princess back to the carriage, please trouble Guard Song to watch those people."
Xie Ren's hands were empty, and his heart was suddenly empty.
However, Shen Xunzhou was right.
He is now the chief of the guard, and it is his duty to protect her safety and avoid future troubles.
And Shen Xunzhou was indeed the one more qualified to escort her back.
No matter in terms of status or ability, he is more qualified.
"Take good care of Huanhuan."
Xie Ren gave the cat in his arms to Jiang Ningyao, turned around and walked quickly towards the group of ruffians.
Jiang Ningyao looked at his back and then at the cat in her arms, feeling suddenly panicked.
Xie Ren, will you come back?
You've taken the first step, you won't run away again, will you?
Jiang Ningyao looked at Xie Ren's back and hesitated to speak.
"Your Highness, it's time to get in the car. The cat that wants to come back will naturally come back to you."
Shen Xunzhou on the side turned sideways to block Jiang Ningyao's sight.
……
The party broke up unhappily, but there were no major accidents and everyone returned to the city safely.
When Jiang Ningyao returned to the princess's house, Huanhuan was indeed very well-behaved. No matter how much she held her and rubbed her, she would not resist. She would roll over, expose her belly, and snore nonstop.
However, until late at night, her other cat did not come back.
Xie Ren didn't come back, he ran away again...
