Chapter Seventy-Two: Retreat from the Crowd
When the little Gong'e heard this, her body trembled with fear, and Ji Yao saw that everyone's eyes fell on the little Gong'e, and she really didn't know what to say. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Princess Xu saw Ji Yao's embarrassment, and said in a slightly accentuated tone: "What are you still kneeling here for, why don't you hurry up?"
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Gong'e responded again and again, and when she hurriedly got up, a jade pendant fell out of her cuffs, and everyone's eyes lit up, this is not what a little Gong'e should have.
Xiao Gong'e was so frightened that she couldn't speak, she stood tremblingly, and she didn't pick it up when she left, Ji Yao had to pick up the jade pendant and hand it to Xiao Gong'e: "Your things." ”
Xiao Gong'e glanced at the princess, but her hand trembled but she didn't dare to stretch it out.
"Is it yours?" asked the princess, seeing that she would not take it.
It's okay not to ask, but when she asked, Xiao Gong'e was scared, and she knelt on the ground with a "bang", kowtowed again and again: "It was this girl who said that she wanted to see what the rumored Linglong Pavilion looked like, so the slave maid brought her here." ”
Ji Yao's outstretched hand froze in mid-air like that, and replied generously to the gaze cast by the princess: "Yes, I asked this little palace lady to bring me over, take a look at it from a distance, it is really beautiful, this trip is not in vain." ”
Seeing her so calmly, the princess actually had some kindness, and said with a faint smile: "Since this is the case, there is no need to stand at this outlet to watch, let me go over and take a closer look." ”
The princess said that she was about to move forward, but Ji Yao suddenly rushed to Xiao Gong'e and stuffed the jade pendant into her hand: "Since I told you, it is yours, and there is no reason to return it." ”
Xie Yue couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said in a soft and cute voice: "It is said that the Chang family has a great cause, but I don't know what kind of family is a great cause, today I saw Sister Ji Yao reward a servant girl so generously, it is really atmospheric!"
Ji Yao heard the hidden meaning of her words, but she didn't shy away from it, she just stuffed the jade pendant into Xiao Gong'e's hand, and Xiao Gong'e refused to accept it in fear, until the princess said "Take it", and the matter was over.
Several people walked slowly towards Linglong Pavilion, so slow that it could almost be described as moving, and after a long moment of silence, Xie Yue finally couldn't stand it anymore, and helped the princess to say coquettishly: "Auntie, you can promise Yue'er." ”
Hearing the word aunt, Ji Yao's heart jumped suddenly, and she reacted instantly, this long-unknown princess was actually the daughter of the Xie family, and she was very annoyed, how could she not even know about this?
Xie Yue saw her like this, but she snickered, mistakenly thinking that Ji Yao was jealous of her relationship with the princess, so she said even more presumptuously: "Auntie, don't you like Yue'er the most, just promise Yue'er this time, Yue'er promises, this is the last time!"
The princess was unmoved by her shaking her sleeves, Xie Yue glanced at Ji Yao, and stomped her feet hatefully: "Auntie, if you don't help Yue'er, Yue'er will have to jump from here!"
"Nonsense! If you threaten your aunt with your own life, then your aunt will never help you!" the princess stopped sharply, and her whole person exuded a terrifying courage.
Although Ji Yao couldn't see the princess's expression when she stood behind her, she could still imagine the pair of dead eyes on the princess's face that could swallow all the light.
Xie Yue didn't dare to speak anymore when she was reprimanded by the princess, her face was red from her ears to her neck, she bit her lip tightly and lowered her eyes, she didn't dare to make any more out-of-character movements, let alone look at Ji Yao, for fear of seeing some disdainful gaze.
Ji Yao followed the two of them towards the Linglong Pavilion, looking at the colorful Linglong Pavilion while thinking about what secrets were hidden here and what had been stolen.
When he was about to arrive at the Linglong Pavilion, Ji Yao noticed that the person in front of him suddenly turned his head sideways, and a pair of ethereal eyes suddenly became powerful, and he made an exclaimed look at the glittering Linglong Pavilion.
"Can the Linglong Pavilion of the palace still enter the eyes of your eldest lady Chang?" The princess spit out this sentence for no reason, Ji Yao's heart shook suddenly, and she didn't know what she meant by this, so she had to make a puzzled look.
The princess paused for a moment, and then said: "I heard that Changfu loves to collect the treasures of the world, and there are not a few rare treasures you have seen, but today you are so obsessed with my exquisite pavilion, it seems that you and I have a similar liking." ”
Ji Yao sneered when he heard this: "This Linglong Pavilion is really rare, although I have seen a lot of good things, but like this, it is extremely rare to combine elegance and magnificence in one place. ”
"Oh?
A trace of obvious disappointment flashed on the princess's face, she turned around and continued to walk forward, Ji Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed closely into the Linglong Pavilion.
To her surprise, the whole courtyard was extremely elegant, and under the plane tree were scattered leaves all over the ground, and the glazed building that was seven or eight feet high above the courtyard looked a little out of place.
"I don't have a lot of people here, so come and sit. The princess said and took her to the inconspicuous ordinary house next to the glazed building, Ji Yao looked extremely surprised, took the opportunity to glance at the courtyard, and suddenly realized that there was no maid in the courtyard.
This...... It's too desolate!
As the door creaked open, Ji Yao turned his gaze back to the house, but was surprised again, except for a few tables and chairs, and a mountain of books in the empty room, there were no more furnishings.
"Just sit down. ”
The princess said and took out a few bottles and cans from the cabinet, Xie Yue and Ji Yao hurriedly reached out to help take it, Ji Yao opened it and found that it was actually dried candied fruit, which looked particularly tempting~.
"Why is my aunt doing this again? How tired she is, just let the people do it. Xie Yue said while stuffing candied fruit into his mouth.
The princess smiled indifferently and did not respond, her eyes slowly turned to Ji Yao's face: "Why doesn't Miss Chang eat it, aren't you afraid that it won't be clean?"
"No, Ji Yao thinks that these candied fruits are too rare, these candied fruits contain the princess's wishes, and Ji Yao is reluctant to eat them. ”
The princess's dead eyes suddenly lit up at this moment, but it was also a moment, and she was about to say something, Xie Yue had already said quickly: "Wish, Sister Ji Yao has always been so funny when she speaks, what kind of wish, why don't you say your hard work?"
"Yue'er, you said you wanted silk cloth last time, and it's already here, you go to Ali and ask her to take you to pick one. ”
Xie Yue jumped up very happily, even said thank you to her aunt, and ran out as soon as she slipped away.
