Chapter 42 The Eldest Prince's Invitation Ji Ruxue's face suddenly turned pale and she blurted out words of disbelief. "how is this possible?" Di Ran glanced sideways, his cold eyes narrowed slightly: "Why not?" Ji Ruxue’s face turned pale when she was glanced at by Di Ran’s cold eyes. "I……" Should he say that he overheard the conversation between his mother, the empress, and his father, the queen, and that the Prince of Beichen has not yet married a prince? Being stared at by her cold gaze, I couldn't say anything. Ji Huashang's heart skipped a beat when she saw Di Ran's gloomy face. "Xue'er." Before Di Ran got angry, he glared at Ji Ruxue and apologized to Di Ran.
"My brother is outspoken, I hope Your Majesty will be magnanimous and not blame me." Ji Ruxue, who was standing by, turned pale, knowing that she had spoken without thinking and was impolite. So he collected his thoughts and bowed to Emperor Ran to apologize softly. "Xue'er lost her composure. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Ji Yunxie stared at Di Ran in a daze. She... The first time she said it, it could be a joke and not taken seriously, but now, in front of Prince Rui and the Third Prince, why did she still say that? Could it be that what she said was... serious? How... how is it possible... Feeling the warmth holding his hand, Ji Yunxie looked up blankly and met those gentle and caring eyes. Di Ran asked softly, "What's wrong?" Ji Yunxie pursed his lips and said nothing. There were so many thoughts in his mind that he guessed from the beginning that he was someone else's substitute and that Di Ran had someone else in his heart; He was shocked when Prince Rui and the Third Prince showed up and recognized Di Ran's identity in public. Ji Yunxie's mind was in a mess. He was so timid that he didn't know how to face it or what to say. I just want to find a quiet place. Seeing that he was silent and muffled, Di Ran thought that he was angry because he did not tell him his identity. Just as she was about to explain, Di Yi walked in from outside, followed by a woman. "Master~" Di Ran glanced at the person behind him with his cold eyes. "Who is he?" Ji Huashang and Ji Rurushue also looked over.
When Ji Huashang saw the person coming, there was a glimmer of surprise in his eyes. Isn’t this person the housekeeper of my uncle’s family? What is she here for? Could it be... Ji Huashang's eyes fell on Di Ran and she had a bad feeling in her heart. The man behind Di Yi walked out with his head held high, his face full of arrogance, and spoke in a domineering tone. "I am Diao Chun, the housekeeper of the eldest prince's mansion. Who was playing the piano just now? My eldest prince liked the music very much and wanted to invite her to come aboard and sing another song. If she sings well, she will be rewarded handsomely." The eldest prince? Everyone looked slightly unhappy when they heard this. Ji Ruxue had also heard of her uncle's reputation. What could he do by asking Di Ran? Are you interested in Di Ran? When Ji Ruxue thought about her uncle staring at Shang Di Ran, her face turned pale and she clenched the handkerchief in her hands. Although Di Ran said that she already had Wang Jun, he didn't believe it and thought it was just a joke, so Ji Ruxue didn't take it seriously. It’s different if it’s my uncle. He won’t give up until he gets what he wants. Thinking that Di Ran might be targeted by his uncle or resist and offend his uncle, he couldn't help but worry. I felt more resentful towards this uncle who didn't pay much attention to me. Ji Yunxie had been living in his own small courtyard and seldom went out, nor did he pay attention to the outside world, so he had never heard of the eldest prince. However, seeing that the others looked unhappy, he felt confused. Several people stared at Di Ran's actions, wanting to see what he would do. But Di Ran remained unmoved and just gave the order calmly. "Emperor Yi, throw the man out for me." Several people were stunned. Diao Chun originally thought that the man would be grateful and follow her after hearing her words, but she didn't expect that someone would actually refuse?! (End of this chapter)
