Chapter 24: A Walk
The night is getting dark, after eating, washing hands and rinsing mouth, and waiting silently for the banquet to disperse. A meal was so unpleasant, Lin Xiaoyou wanted to leave for a long time, but seeing that Xiahou Yichen didn't speak, he straightened up and wanted to leave first.
"Busy?" Seeing that she was in a hurry to leave, Xiahou Yichen asked.
"I" opened my mouth and couldn't make up a reason to leave.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Xiahou Yichen smiled lightly and said, "What, can't you think of what to be busy with?" After eating so much, go back to sleep immediately, you are not afraid of panicking." ”
"Is there something wrong with the prince?" I don't know what he was thinking, Lin Xiaoyou asked stubbornly.
"As I said, this king is in a good mood today, and seeing that you have eaten so much, I will reluctantly take you for a walk. ”
"Walking?" Lin Xiaoyou looked puzzled, looking at him calmly, not like he was trying to trick her.
Su Zixin and the three of them were already dissatisfied, and pulled his sleeves coquettishly, "The prince is partial, he only takes the princess's sister and doesn't take our sisters, is it that if you have a new person, you will forget the old person." ”
Faced with the grievances of the three people, Xiahou Yichen's face was flat, and he said lightly: "Just because she is a newcomer, I have to take her out for a walk, if you even care about this, then I really hurt you in vain on weekdays, think about what you did in the past, I never cared." is saying that Xin'er is now in charge of the entire palace, of course she can't just play anymore!"
"But" The three of them still wanted to argue, but Xiahou Yichen swept over with a glance and was silent.
"If the prince really wants to take a walk, I think it's better to ask your sisters to accompany you. I" Lin Xiaoyou followed their words and began to refuse politely. Unexpectedly, Xiahou Yichen looked at her coldly, and her unfinished words came to an abrupt end.
For the first time, I felt that there was a daunting chill in his eyes, thinking that he was a high-ranking prince after all, with his unruly personality, even the emperor had to give three points. If he refutes his kindness again and again, he will not be able to get off the stage. Thinking of this, the conversation changed, "Of course I'm willing to accompany you." ”
Out of the palace, the two of them walked leisurely. Xiahou Yichen walked in front with his hands in his hands, dressed in white, which was particularly conspicuous in the flickering night. is just a back, and his tall and majestic figure also shows an unusual awe-inspiring extravagance. Together with the wedding night, this was the second time she was alone with him, Lin Xiaoyou deliberately slowed down a few steps and opened up a distance. In this case, if it were the person in her heart, maybe she would be happier.
The two of them were silent with their own hearts, and after walking for a while, Xiahou Yichen suddenly stopped, and Lin Xiaoyou lowered his head behind him, and unexpectedly bumped into it.
"Ah" exclaimed, covered his head and fell back, Xiahou Yichen turned around, and quickly grabbed her.
"Your eyes are long, and the top of your head is up. ”
Obviously, he stopped suddenly, and blamed her in turn, Lin Xiaoyou withdrew his hand in annoyance and gently touched his stunned head.
"You have something on your mind!" Xiahou Yichen said with a light smile and half-squinted eyes.
"Nope. Lin Xiaoyou responded weakly, turned sideways, and lowered his head and didn't dare to look into his eyes.
"Then why don't you dare to look at me, in your words before, this king is not a man-eating tiger. Xiahou Yichen clasped his hands and said with interest.
"Ask whatever you want! Why so much nonsense" Lin Xiaoyou raised his head, his smart eyes flashing in the dark.
"Okay, then I asked, what kind of life do you want?"
"Me?" Lin Xiaoyou looked away in surprise, looked at the night sky and thought for a while, before he said: "Walk the rivers and lakes with the people you like, and when you are tired, you will live in seclusion, and live that kind of free and easy, leisurely and quiet life, plain and bland, without conspiracy and fighting." After speaking, he lowered his head and added in frustration, "But that was my previous idea, and now, I don't know what I want!"
Xiahou Yichen listened quietly, and said with emotion: "I see, let's go, the night market in front should be very lively." ”
Lin Xiaoyou was stunned when he heard this, this is the end of it, this is his problem? Thinking about it, he quickened his pace and chased after him, followed him and said, "Don't you have anything else to ask?"
"I didn't have anything to ask, you thought I had a question for you. Xiahou Yichen said, without stopping at all, and continued to walk forward.
"Then can I ask, what kind of person are you?" became more and more unpredictable about him, Lin Xiaoyou blurted out directly.
Xiahou Yichen just chuckled, turned his head sideways and said lightly: "The coming day is long, you will understand sooner or later, let's go!"
The two of them stepped into the noisy main street one after the other, this time is the bustling time of the night market, even if it is night, it is no less than the daytime, the lights are bright, the shops on both sides are everywhere, and the people who come out to go shopping and relax can really be described as crowded.
It's boring to be bored in the palace for many days, but now it's better to have fun with your heart, she has never gone out to shop at night, Lin Xiaoyou comforted herself, and was soon attracted by the lively scenes around her.
On a whim, look here, look there, completely forget about the people who came out together, and when I think about it, I can't see Xiahou Yichen's figure for a long time, and I don't even know when he got separated.
Lin Xiaoyou shook her head, it was also difficult to find someone in such a dense crowd, it seemed that she had to play alone. At this time, she was in high spirits, and she was too involved in playing, and she didn't notice that everywhere she went, she was the focus of passers-by, and some ill-intentioned prodigal sons were gradually surrounding her.
"This girl, look at these jewelry, the workmanship is exquisite, the price is fair, buy a few, if you bring it will definitely look good. In front of the stall, a hawker enthusiastically solicited business.
"How much is this?" Lin Xiaoyou browsed the things on the stall intently, and randomly picked up a delicately carved wooden hairpin and played with it.
"The girl really has a vision, this wooden hairpin is plain and vulgar, and it is very suitable for you. It's only a tael of silver. The peddler said with a smile.
"One or two" Lin Xiaoyou whispered, she didn't have much concept of money, and besides, she didn't have any money with her. With an embarrassed smile, he put down the wooden hairpin and prepared to leave.
As soon as she turned around, she almost bumped into someone, and when she looked at it, there were a few men behind her who raised their eyebrows and smiled at her, pretending to be noble. He turned sideways and wanted to leave, but they stretched out their hands to block the way, and accosted: "The girl likes the wooden hairpin, why don't you buy it and give it to the girl, how about it?"
I really don't know where Xiahou Yichen died, he scolded in his heart, looked at each other coldly, it was difficult to pay attention, he left everyone away, and he didn't notice it during the struggle, two figures flashed outside the crowd and hid in the alley next to him.
A few people followed her reluctantly, chattering and saying, "Where is the girl, in a hurry? Let's treat you to dinner!"
Lin Xiaoyou just didn't know, and walked forward faster, wanting to get rid of these people.
After saying so much, seeing that she didn't pay attention, several people didn't have a little patience, "Girl, please stay" said the first one and reached out to grab her arm.
was angry for a while, and while being dragged over by him, he raised his hand and slapped him. With a "pop", the hawkers and pedestrians on the street all looked at this side, all stunned.
"You, you" The beaten man covered the beaten cheek with one hand, pointed at her with a folding fan in the other, his face was red, his expression was astonished and stunned, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"There are two points to declare: first, the little woman is already another woman, you should call me Madame, and second, this lady is more sensitive and does not like others to move their hands and feet, otherwise as just now, the hand will involuntarily lose control and hit it. We ask for your forgiveness if you have any offenses. Lin Xiaoyu blew his numb palm, and explained without hurry or annoyance, as if there was such a thing.
"I don't like others to touch you, so I like your husband to touch you, do you know who he is?" said a man in Tsing Yi pointing to the beaten man.
"I'm not right about things, not people, no matter who it is, this old problem can't be changed. ”
"He is Yi Wenqi, the son of Master Yi. ”
"Yi Wenqi?" Lin Xiaoyou read in surprise, and finally looked at him with the right eyes, only to see that he was holding a folding fan in his hand, dressed luxuriously, and his appearance was also good, but he was just a small appearance that was flowing in and out, which was disgusting.
He is the son of Yi Taishi, the person who Lin Mansion forced her to marry on her behalf, it is better to be famous than to meet, such a person, I don't know how much Sister Qianqian has suffered in Yi Mansion. Lin Xiaoyou thought about it, with a disgusted expression on his face, and an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
"How do you know you're scared?" Several people looked at her frowning expression, mistakenly thinking that she regretted what she had just done.
Lin Xiaoyou snorted coldly, didn't pay attention, and walked back around a few people. Unexpectedly, just after walking a few steps, I saw Xiahou Yichen standing not far away with his hands in his hands, looking at this side and laughing.
originally expected him to come to help solve the siege, but who knew that he was also like an outsider, watching the jokes from a distance, Lin Xiaoyou raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, so interested!" There was a hint of mockery in his words.
"Does your hand hurt?"
Facing his question, Lin Xiaoyou was stunned, and his face flushed, "Does it hurt, don't you know if you pump yourself hard?"
Xiahou Yichen sneered disapprovingly: "Your slap is enough for him to suffer for a while." From this moment on, your heroic deeds will be spread throughout the streets of Dragon Studios. ”
"yes, famous. Lin Xiaoyou dropped a sentence, turned around and left.
"Are you angry?"
"Don't dare, you are a high-ranking prince, you can act according to your own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, how dare I be angry with your old man. Lin Xiaoyu walked quickly and said expressionlessly.
"It's not that this king doesn't help you, but believes that you can solve it, just like that time when someone openly robbed you of your jade pendant on the street, you are not fearless. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyou suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "I believe that this may be part of the reason. Another part of the reason is that I am afraid that you don't want to tear your face with Master Yi because of this. ”
Looking at her aggressive gaze, Xiahou Yichen pondered for a moment, nodded and admitted, "That's right, there is indeed this reason." ”
"I understand, the prince has his own reasons for acting, so why do you need to explain it to me, an outsider. ”
