Chapter 18: The Golden Phoenix
Ye Shu was silent all the way, and it wasn't until he left the palace gate that Ye Shu slowly spoke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Xuan'er, how did you recognize the prince?"
Ye Jingxuan saw her father's gloomy face, thinking that he didn't like her contact with the prince, and explained: "I just happened to meet him, and I only had a one-sided relationship before, and I didn't know each other. ”
Ye Shu said thoughtfully: "I saw that you had a very happy conversation, and they were very harmonious. ”
Ye Jingxuan shook her head again and again, "No, no, what Daddy said, it's just some gossip." ”
Ye Shu nodded and said, "What do you think of the prince?"
"Dad, what do you mean by that?" Ye Jingxuan was a little puzzled when she saw that her father had something to say.
Ye Shu smiled: "Just tell me what you think of him." ”
"I think the prince doesn't seem to be as serious and impersonal as you say, but he's still quite kind, of course, I just talked to him a few times, and I don't know him. Ye Jingxuan said.
Ye Shu smiled and said nothing, Ye Jingxuan was confused, looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Dad, haven't you always disliked the prince, how can you be interested in him today?"
Ye Shu patted Ye Jingxuan on the shoulder and said, "You'll know later." ”
Ye Jingxuan opened her ignorant eyes and looked at her father suspiciously, with a faint sense of foreboding.
……
……
Mu Xiaoxiao took advantage of the great opportunity to pay attention to every corner of the Zhuyuan Residence in private, but did not find anything.
This made her very anxious, but she had no choice but to continue to wait.
Guangxi likes Mu Xiaoxiao's taciturn personality very much, plus she is serious and understanding, Guangxi takes a fancy to her.
But Guangxi faintly felt that Mu Xiaoxiao was a person with a story, and there must be many things hidden in her heart.
Several times, Guangxi saw Mu Xiaoxiao leaning on his trunk and looking into the distance, with some resentment and sadness in his eyes.
Kwang-hee wanted to ask her, but held back. After all, they didn't know each other, she was just his maid. Besides, growing up in the deep palace since childhood, Guangxi knows very well that curiosity is absolutely not possible, and if you manage too much, it will be over sooner or later.
Moreover, Guangxi thought of a bad possibility - could Mu Xiaoxiao be a fine work sent by the crown prince or the second prince?
This is an extremely terrifying possibility, although Guangxi thinks the possibility is slim, but if it is true, then his current situation is already very dangerous.
In the battle for the throne, Guangxi is the weakest side, and there is no competitive advantage at all. Guangxi himself is well aware of this fact, and has no intention of seizing the lord at all, showing weakness to them and letting them understand that they do not have any threat.
But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, even if he repeatedly retreats, I don't know if he can be protected in the end and be a prince with peace of mind.
Guangxi was a little annoyed, of course he didn't want the worst to be true, but he still had to guard against it.
In this palace, the only thing he can rely on is himself, and he must not fall, because there is no one behind him.
……
……
Mu Xiaoxiao found that Guangxi was a difficult person to approach, and it was too possible to get any news from him.
Although everyone said that Prince Guangxi was humble, low-key and introverted, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't think so, she always felt that those were his disguises, and no one knew his true appearance.
A boy like wind and water, a boy like a fan.
……
……
Mu Xiaoxiao finished his day's work and returned to the room with exhaustion.
I sat down and poured a cup of tea, and before I could drink it, I felt that my foot was scratched.
Frightened, Mu Xiaoxiao was excited, and the teacup knocked over to the ground, making a crisp sound.
"Ouch!" a voice rang out from under the table.
Mu Xiaoxiao hurriedly leaned down, lifted the tablecloth, and saw Qing Yunluo curled up under the table.
"What are you doing here?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao with a sigh of relief.
Qing Yunluo came out from under the table and shook his scalded right hand, "I haven't come to see you yet!"
"Are your hands hot?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked when he saw that Qing Yunluo's right hand was red.
Qing Yunluo ignored her and sat at the table.
"Why are you sneaking under the table?" asked Mu Xiaoxiao.
"You think the palace is a leek garden, you can go wherever you want!" Qing Yunluo said.
"Then how did you get in?" Mu Xiaoxiao found the ointment and applied it to Qingyunluo.
Qingyunluo watched Mu Xiaoxiao seriously medicate herself, her heart was warm, and she felt that she still cared about herself.
"I snuck in like that, walked around your room, figured you were coming back, hiding under the table to surprise you, who knew how you would react. Qingyunluo said, his tone full of grievances.
Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at Qing Yunluo's somewhat childish expression, and a warm current rippled in his heart, in this lonely world, it is rare that there are still people who have been thinking about themselves.
Qing Yunluo was very happy when he caught a glimpse of the jade Buddha hanging around Mu Xiaoxiao's neck, thinking that this girl was originally hard-mouthed and soft-hearted.
Mu Xiaoxiao saw Qing Yunluo's smiling expression, and was a little puzzled, "You don't hurt anymore?"
Qing Yunluo raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "It doesn't hurt." ”
"Alright, then you can go back quickly. Mu Xiaoxiao took the medicine and said.
Qing Yunluo frowned, and said reluctantly: "You just came here to drive me away, it's not easy for me to run, okay?"
Mu Xiaoxiao said: "We didn't say everything we should have said that day. ”
"Didn't you say that I was your brother, then you are my sister, and my brother can't see my sister?" Qingyun Luo said with a dry smile.
Mu Xiaoxiao didn't want to embarrass him, and said: "I can't talk about you, but you go back quickly, it's dark, we are alone in the same room, and it's terrible to be known." ”
Qingyunluo thought that this was indeed the case, after all, this was in the palace of the Three Emperors, and it could not be as casual as in Princess Anping's palace, so it was better to be cautious, otherwise it would be known that Mu Xiaoxiao would have a hard time in this palace.
Thinking like this, Qing Yunluo took out a golden phoenix hairpin from his sleeve and inserted it into Mu Xiaoxiao's head.
Mu Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand to take it off, but was held down by Qingyunluo, he looked at her and said very seriously: You must take it, this is from my mother, it is not necessarily very valuable, but it is very meaningful. ”
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little helpless, "Why did you give me such a valuable thing, I can't afford to accept your Jade Buddha, and now I am giving me a golden phoenix hairpin, how can I be good?"
"The Jade Buddha is to keep you safe, but this golden phoenix hairpin has another meaning. Since you are my sister, that is, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and I have no loss, so you can wear it with peace of mind!" Qingyunluo said with a meaningful smile.
Before Mu Xiaoxiao could speak, Qingyunluo closed the door and left, as fast as a gust of wind.
Looking at the closed door, Mu Xiaoxiao pursed his lips, pulled out the hairpin, and looked at it carefully.
Although it is gold, it is not pure, the carving is very fine, the texture is very beautiful, it looks a little old, it is estimated that it is some years.
What is the meaning of the meaningful Jin Fengchai? Thinking of Qing Yunluo's meaningful smile, Mu Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled.
