Chapter 107: Heart-to-Heart Talk
Xie Yujiao really couldn't judge the mind of this little kid, so after thinking about it, she had to tell her heart truthfully. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"I never felt like I was a lifesaver for you, and I only saw you as a companion at first. After a night of horror together, and then trapped in a thatched hut together, I feel like we've been through the same we've been through it, and I'm wishful thinking about you as a friend. And although I rushed alone for help, in fact, it was also self-help, and it was good to save Li Tianlei, which was a transaction. Hello to save you, that's not only incidental, the most important thing is that I treat you as a friend, you are the first person I met after being abducted out of Shudi, whether you take me to heart or not, anyway, I treat you as a friend, so I want to save you, that's just my will, it has nothing to do with you.
Thankfully, we were all rescued in the end. Later, I accompanied you to recuperate in Guanshan Town, firstly, because my friends couldn't leave you alone, and secondly, I also thought that you could help me when I returned to Beijing, although you left quietly in the end. I guess you haven't taken a civilian girl to heart. β
"Anyway, if I have a life-saving grace for you, it is better to say that we once relied on each other."
Xie Yujiao's low words fell on the lotus pond without lotus flowers, without causing a ripple.
The prince lay on the fence and listened carefully until Xie Yujiao finished speaking. He turned his head, looked into Xie Yujiao's eyes, and asked, "Why didn't you tell my identity when you were caught by the Khitans?" β
Xie Yujiao rolled her eyes very indecently and said, "Can they let me go if you tell your identity?" I'm not that naΓ―ve! Moreover, I also want to delay time, no matter how much I say that I have always regarded you as a friend, no matter what you think in your heart, for you to return to the palace safely as soon as possible, I can't easily tell them your whereabouts. Besides, because Li Tianlei found out that I was missing and came to look for me, the more they wanted to know something, the more I couldn't easily tell them, the longer it dragged on, the better it would be for me, wouldn't it? β
"In other words, you don't have a life-saving grace for me, so you don't have a use? Those more than 1,000 lives were saved by you deceiving your grandfather. If you take my credit, I won't expose you to my grandfather? The prince said awkwardly.
"Of course, we're friends, right, don't tell your grandfather that I lied to him! I'm telling you, you didn't know I was thrown into the mountains, in the snow and ice......"
......
The prince's little face unconsciously crept into a smile again.
The two just chatted about the bits and pieces after separation, and they didn't care about the passage of time at all.
There was already a waiter who went back and forth several times to serve tea and snacks, and lit the lamp, so that the two of them could talk freely as if no one was around.
The more he talked, the more the prince didn't want Xie Yujiao to leave, he wanted to keep her by his side, and the two of them just chatted like this, how good!
The dreary palace, he was getting more and more overwhelmed, he imagined that Xie Yujiao was so unscrupulous to live, free, unscrupulous, how simple and happy.
But he is responsible for his family and country, the future and inheritance of the Great Zhou, the expectations of his father, and the safety of the people.
This is his responsibility as the crown prince, and he can't escape it.
The leisurely days in Guanshan Town couldn't go back, and he returned to the identity of the prince and took on his responsibilities.
The girl in front of him, far away from her family, has gone through life and death wandering, but she is still living so wantonly, he is envious and jealous.
He wanted to keep this chic wanton by his side, so that when he was tired and tired, even if he looked at it.
"You stay!" He finally said the words that he had been retained.
"Huh?" Xie Yujiao didn't react, "What did you say?" β
The prince looked at the starry sky, and he repeated again in some mood: "You stay, stay by my side!" β
Xie Yujiao seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand.
After a while, she tilted her head, looked at the side face of the Son of Heaven, and asked, "Do you want me to accompany you in the palace?" β
"Hmm!" The prince replied in a low voice, expecting her answer.
The atmosphere instantly quieted down, Xie Yujiao didn't speak, and the prince didn't urge her to reply.
The insects in the yard also fell silently because of the sudden drop in temperature at night.
There was only a slight breeze, blowing the freshly green wicker by the pool, swaying.
Xie Yujiao knew that this child was suffocating in the palace, and wanted to have a partner who could talk well to accompany him!
But her wish is to go home!
That home with family and warmth!
Xie Yujiao asked him in a low voice: "In what capacity did you keep me?" Is it Jingle Bell? Or the crown prince? β
"There's a difference?" The prince turned his head and looked at her.
"If you're Jingle Bell, you should know what I'm thinking? I've been working hard to get home, and even though it may be a little longer, I'm trying. So, if I refuse your offer, you should understand me."
"If you are in the capacity of the crown prince, order me. I am a little folk girl, so naturally I can't disobey. However, when I entered the palace, under the constraints of the palace rules, you and I are the difference between monarchs and ministers, and every time I see you, I have to pay homage with great courtesy. There will be no more unbridled frolic like today. β
"When I enter the palace, I naturally can't go home, and the desire for home will become stronger and stronger, and the more I miss it, the more dull people will become, until one day you will find that I am just one of many ordinary palace maids. The shadow of envy that you saw in me at the beginning is no longer traceable. Do you still need me? β
As soon as the words of his own retention came out, the prince regretted it.
He knew that this girl was thinking about that distant home.
Still, he spoke the words he retained.
He also had only a little hope that the wealth and prosperity of the palace would tempt her to stay.
Obviously, the allure of the palace was not as great as imagined, and it could not seduce her.
The prince took a deep breath, moved the corners of his mouth, stood up, and said, "Okay! I know you want to go home, it's a bit busy during this time, wait a minute, wait until the second uncle is better, and let him arrange it for you. It's really that there have been too many things in the court recently, my father is sick again, and I am the crown prince, so there are too many people staring at me. I won't let you go and hand you over to others, so I can only wait for my little uncle to get better before arranging for you. β
Xie Yujiao was relieved when she saw that the prince had figured it out.
"Ahh It's getting dark, it's time for me to go! Grandpa should be in a hurry! Xie Yujiao saw that the round moon had climbed up to the sky, and the stars in the sky were also brightened.
"Okay, it's time for me to go back to the palace too!" The prince also stood up, and although there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, it was time to say goodbye.
Xie Yujiao looked at the boy who was more than half a head taller than herself, and asked, "Why are you so much taller than me?" You were half a head taller than me before, right? β
She also held out her hand and stood face to face.
"Then you eat more, eat better, and the next time we meet, you will catch up."
Next time! Xie Yujiao thought, is there a chance to meet again?
One is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the other is the lowest common people.
These two very different identities, it would be good to meet once in a while, and they can still hope to meet again?
The scenes of separation were all melancholy, Xie Yujiao tried to be generous, so as not to let her face feel sad to say goodbye.
"I'm gone! Jingling! Xie Yujiao generously waved to the prince and walked out.
The prince stood in the pavilion and looked at the figure that had disappeared into the night.
Suddenly, the figure of the man who disappeared ran back again.
Did she decide to stay with him? The prince couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you something!" Xie Yujiao ran back because she suddenly thought of a very important and important event.
Oh, I forgot to tell him something! It's not about staying with him!
The joy that had just risen in the prince's heart was suddenly photographed without a trace.
Xie Yujiao pulled the crown prince, attached it to his ear, covered his mouth, and said in a low voice: "You have to be careful of Zhao Kuangyin, he will take away your Chai family's country and change the dynasty!" β
