Xiao Chu saw my surprised expression, sat down to look at me, and took in the look in my eyes.

After a while, he smiled and said, "Yes, it's the day after tomorrow." ”

"The itinerary was set a long time ago, but I wasn't scheduled to go at the beginning."

He looked at me with a deep gaze. "This time something happened, and my father changed his mind on the spur of the moment."

His tone sounded lazy and a little careless: "So, this trip that was originally given to my brother was replaced by me." ”

Xiao Chu explained to me, I looked into his eyes, observed his expression, and felt that the meaning contained in his casual tone did not sound simple.

As far as I could see, I was surprised to see that he was a little happy about the trip.

I could tell from the upturned corners of his mouth.

I lowered my eyes, and there was a bit of melancholy in my tone: "Since you are happy, go and go, and come to tell me something." ”

"Angry?" He looked down and smiled, his voice sounding unusually gentle.

"Nope." I closed my eyes, then opened them, and looked at Xiao Chu, my answer sounded **, "What qualifications do I have to be unhappy, I can come to Yingtian, and it is also thanks to you." ”

"I also arranged such a good house for me, and added a bunch of subordinates, I know that I know that you are sheltering the victims, and I still think that I don't know."

On the road from Daye to the palace, that wave of "mountain bandits" suddenly appeared, and that carriage suddenly overturned, and my life has been rewritten.

Originally, I could see my future life as entering the deep palace, living a lonely life, and then staying up day by day, maybe until I died!

Whether this change is a blessing or a curse, I don't really know. I did passively accept it.

But from the moment I knew that I was going to enter the palace, I was indeed resistant, no matter if I was in Daye's Ye family. Or I was on the way to the palace, I knew it clearly. I don't want to live like that.

This is the most important reason why I am willing to follow Xiao Chu to a neighboring country.

Otherwise, I will resist, I will run away, and maybe I will ask him to send me back to Daye, of course, his reaction is not in the scope of consideration at this time.

I'm just staying true to my will.

I sighed, steadied myself, and took the plaintive-sounding words. Relaxed: "Forget it, just go, ten days will pass quickly." “

Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment, noticing the perfunctory and depressed tone in my tone. He laughed, "I thought you might let me take you with me." “

After a moment of silence, my heart moved, and in an instant I looked up at him, and my eyes lit up. Then he suppressed the excitement and said in disbelief: "Can it? “

A pair of eyes stared at him firmly, waiting for him to answer, no matter how you looked, you couldn't hide the excitement.

They looked at me. Xiao Chuqing's laughter echoed in the room, and he laughed for a while before he stopped and said, "Xiao Ling'er, you can talk like you like this." ”

I was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it, then shook my head awkwardly and didn't speak.

"You don't know, my two elder sisters have been learning all kinds of etiquette rules at home since they were young, not to mention your age, it is said that when they were seven or eight years old, they spoke like adults, which completely went against their hearts."

Xiao Chu comforted me and said.

He stood up, walked up to me, lowered his head to support my face, his fingers rubbed gently, his fingertips were warm with a little strength, and there was a slight itch when he stroked my face.

My ears began to burn again, and my body trembled a little, then I tilted my head and lifted my hand to remove his arm.

"But their fate was almost sealed at a very young age, so they had to follow that path."

"And you are here with me, by my side, especially when two people get along, you don't need to hide your feelings, joys, sorrows, and sorrows can be expressed."

"Just remember to save some face for me in front of outsiders."

He smiled and whispered, sat back at the table, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea into the white jade cup, took a sip slowly, the light in his eyes flashed with emotion: "Outsiders think that my mother is a dignified person and how to recognize the general person, but only I know that when she gets along with my father, she is completely in the state of a little daughter." “

Xiao Chu sat there, his sparkling eyes staring at me.

I was stunned for a moment, looking at him with wide eyes, my heart skipping a beat, wondering the meaning of his words, worried that it was my own misunderstanding and judgment.

Will it?

My heart was very chaotic, but my face was still red and hot. "In my memory, it was the happiest time for the two of them." "I yearn for that kind of life." Xiao Chu looked at me with burning eyes, and the affection in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

(In accordance with the regulations of the superiors, cooperate with the network crackdown, and some chapters will not be made public:)

He let go of me, a rare trace of blush appeared on his jade-like face, and I blushed even more, the hair on my sideburns was messy, and the hair that had been combed in the morning was completely ruined!

Sitting by the bronze mirror, I hurriedly fiddled with it for a while, and finally looked at him negatively and said, "I won't." ”

Xiao Chu kept watching my movements, and when he heard this, he couldn't hide his smile and said, "Do you want Mama Xu to tidy it up for you?" ”

He didn't say a few maids sent, but Mama Xu who deliberately said it should be afraid that I would be shy.

My head shook like a rattle: "Don't." ”

It's dark, call her at this time, what will she think, she will definitely think of that or something, but in fact, there is nothing like that.

"I blame you." I squinted at him and said, "Do you have a grudge against my hair?" Why do I always like to tear my hair in a bun? ”

"It's so good-looking." He said softly.

The room was silent.

A voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and Mama Xu asked in a low voice, she was going to come in to deliver snacks and tea.

I was so fazed that I couldn't find a hole to get into, and I glared at him silently.

"There's a good way to cover it up for you right away." Xiao Chu lowered his voice and laughed

When Mama Xu pushed the door and came in, I was holding a hairpin with a beaded flower missing at the end and gesturing it on my head.

She glanced at the room, Xiao Chu smiled and said: "Mama, she turned out a hairpin brought from Daye, but the beads on it fell off, I told her to find someone to re-inlay one, but she refused." "You see, the strokes are going back and forth, and the hair is scattered."

Mama Xu didn't notice Xiao Chu's words at all, her face was very ugly, and she walked over to me quickly, "Didn't I tell you in the morning." "It's still a kid after all, you have to remember this time, you must not play with this anymore, it will not be good if you break your hand and get a scar."

Xiao Chu was on the side, even if it was a reproach, Mama Xu's tone didn't sound as stern as in the morning.

After that, she threw aside the hairpin that had been dismantled with beads, found a new one from the box, and pulled a simple hairstyle for me in two clicks, which looked very IKEA.

Xiao Chu sat idly on the side, lazily leaning on the back of the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and took advantage of Mama Xu's back to turn around, he made a rare grimace at me.

I almost burst out laughing, so I quickly covered my mouth and endured it.

Mama Xu opened the plate that was delivered, and it was a snack I had never seen before, full of greenery and fragrance.

"What is this?" Satisfied, I looked at my hair in the mirror and walked over to ask her.

"Snacks made by the new chef in the kitchen." "It is said that it is made by kneading a kind of grass picked in the mountains and mixing the juice with glutinous rice flour, and the filling in the middle is made by chopping dried apricots."

"Sounds like a novelty." I sighed, turned my head to look at Xiao Chu and said, "Where did you find the cook, such a delicate skill can be put in the palace." ”

Mama Xu coughed.

Xiao Chu smiled: "Mama, you go down first." ”

After eating a few bites of snacks, Xiao Chu took the cloth bag that was resting on the table, he brought it with him when he came, but I didn't pay much attention to it, and when I saw him deliberately take it and open it in front of me, I couldn't help but wonder what was inside.

In the past few days, in addition to sending them in, a lot of things have been added to the house, and what is even more special is that there are several more pots of flowers in the yard.

Not to mention that it is rare to see in Daye, even if it is here, it is difficult to see, I don't know where Xiao Chu's subordinates bought these precious flowers?

My gaze fell on his fingers, the baggage opened, and he pulled out a scroll.

Could it be that there was originally a painting in it?

I thought about it when he looked up and smiled at me.

The scroll rested on the table by him, and with a push of his hand, it spread out like a cloud. "Maps?" I stared at the mountains, rivers, cities, and borders on the drawings for a few seconds, and I wondered, "What are you showing me a map for?" Is it to point out where you're going? “

I've never seen such a big map in Daye, and I haven't even heard of many places marked on it.

I didn't see Xiao Chu answer me, he locked his eyes on the picture very intently, following his gaze, my curiosity was also aroused by him, is there anything strange on it?

I leaned down and began to look at the markings as he did.

I wandered around the map and was surprised to find that there were two fonts and two different colors on it.

I found Daye on the top, and found the capital of the country where I am staying now: Yingtian, and looked at the boundary of the two different colors again, I was taken aback, raised my head and looked at him, "What does this mean?" “

My hand was pointing straight to one place on the map.

I may not know much about other places, but I've been here, so I know very well that it's Daye's boundary.

But now on the picture, it's not like that!
