Chapter 18 The Prince Shows Up
By the time Jing Xuan dealt with Yingying and rushed to Xianglou, we had already slipped out the back door.
Jing Yu had insisted on it.
He said a堂堂 Princess like me shouldn’t be seen coming and going from a place like that.
I glanced at the panting Jing Xuan.
Right. So the imperial family’s comings and goings were perfectly proper.
If Yingying hadn’t genuinely liked Jing Xuan, and if he hadn’t actually cared about her in return, I would’ve refused this marriage with my dying breath.
Heh.
But Jing Xuan had no idea.
I leaned against Jun Zhenxian for a moment. “Come to my residence later. There are plenty of empty guest rooms.”
Jun Zhenxian might have held the title of Prince of the Commandery, but it was an empty one.
Of course.
Jun Zhenxian had money.
Back in those wild years in the capital, silver flowed out of his hands like water.
But I knew the truth.
He was secretly filthy rich.
I just really wanted to spar with him a little.
He had returned this time, but who knew how many days he would stay, and tomorrow at chen hour I had to leave.
Jun Zhenxian nodded.
Jing Xuan, however, refused. He deliberately provoked him.
“A Prince of the Commandery, and you can’t even afford an inn?”
“If it really comes to that, this prince can lend you some.”
This time Jun Zhenxian had come back different.
In the past, he would have already punched Jing Xuan.
Now he actually responded.
“Jun and the Princess have known each other since childhood. No need to trouble Your Highness.”
“I heard that in the years Jun was away, all three of Your Highnesses have found beautiful wives. Jun offers congratulations to the three of you.”
