Chapter III

The four-person sedan chair was already waiting at the gate of King Jing's Mansion, and the sedan chair body of black nanmu and the vermilion light yarn fluttered in the wind.

Chu Yunxi got into the sedan chair with the support of Jin Ci.

"What about Feng Lan?" After waiting for a long time, but not seeing Feng Lan get on the sedan chair, Chu Yunxi frowned, opened the door curtain, and asked about the brocade outside.

"Your Highness, the princess is on the sedan chair in the back." Jin Ci replied helplessly, "The princess is not allowed to sit with His Royal Highness. "In order to show the noble status of the royal family, the princesses and concubines of the past generations can only sit behind the members of the royal family.

Chu Yunxi lifted the curtain by the window and poked his head out to look behind.

The simple sedan chair carried by the two fell behind, and Xia Fenglan stood in front of the sedan chair, her figure lonely. Even if it was just a back, Chu Yunxi also felt the deep helplessness contained in it.

Chu Yunxi suddenly remembered a stupid thing he had done in his previous life.

In order to make the whole capital laugh at Feng Lan, she specially ordered someone to replace Feng Lan's four-person sedan chair with a two-person sedan chair that only the concubine took in. The dignified Princess Jing, in the eyes of her King Jing, is not as good as a concubine.

"Is it too late to change the sedan chair now?" After pondering for a while, Chu Yunxi asked Jinci.

Jin Ci shook his head and said, "Naturally, it's too late." ”

Chu Yunxi sighed lightly, lifted the curtain, and walked quickly to the back.

"Hey, Your Highness, what's wrong with you." Jin Ci called out, and hurriedly followed, only to feel that today's Highness was a little strange.

"Feng Lan, you ......" approached, only to find that Feng Lan's eyes were only as clear as they should be.

Chu Yunxi only felt sour in her heart, Feng Lan that day, presumably with this mentality, got on the sedan chair.

"Why hasn't Your Highness gotten into the sedan chair yet?" Xia Fenglan asked lightly, "It's too late to enter the palace to see you." ”

"You...... In the same sedan chair with this king. Chu Yunxi said that he was about to reach out to pull Xia Fenglan, but he unexpectedly pounced.

Turning his head to look, he only saw Feng Lan's beautiful side face and the hand held in front of his chest.

Noticing her gaze, Xia Fenglan subconsciously moved her withdrawn hand upward, turned her head away, and said, "Your Highness, is this taking pity on Fenglan?" "First he ordered someone to arrange such a thing for himself, and now he came to pity her. She Xia Fenglan has never needed anyone's sympathy and pity! Even if you become the laughing stock of the whole city, you will not trample your self-esteem to others!

Chu Yunxi remembered what the queen mother once said, when a person clenched his hands tightly into his heart, it showed that this person had no sense of security in his heart.

No matter in her past life or present life, she has never given Feng Lan the slightest sense of security, and it is no wonder that Feng Lan doubts her motives.

"Feng Lan, this matter was done excessively by this king, and this king apologizes to you." Walking to Xia Fenglan's side, Chu Yunxi said.

"Your Highness, there is no need to apologize." Xia Fenglan shook her head, "How can His Highness treat Feng Lan, Feng Lan, just accept it." "If you really can't stand it one day, find a chance to end yourself. Xia Fenglan thought to herself.

This kind of Xia Fenglan made Chu Yunxi feel sad, Feng Lan has always been like this, suffering everything silently, and no matter how much grievances she has, she will only swallow it in her stomach. Thinking like this, Chu Yunxi sighed, walked directly in front of Xia Fenglan, and held Xia Fenglan's shoulders with both hands: "Fenglan, look at this king." ”

"Your Highness...... What do you want to say? Xia Fenglan wanted to look away, but accidentally bumped into a pair of serious eyes.

"Feng Lan," Chu Yunxi said, "This king is here to promise you that he will never do such a thing again in the future." Believe in this king, okay? ”

Perhaps the feelings expressed in those eyes were too sincere, Xia Fenglan couldn't say anything to refute for a while, just looked at her in a daze. At that moment, she really had the urge to believe her.

"Your Highness, Princess, it's really too late if you don't leave." Jin Ci's voice interjected between the two, breaking the silence.

Chu Yunxi nodded and said to Xia Fenglan, "Let's go, Fenglan." ”

"Your Highness, this is not in order." Xia Fenglan still refused.

"What this king says is the rule." Chu Yunxi said, "This king and the princess should sit together. ”

"Your Highness, there is no precedent for the princess and the prince to ride together." Xia Fenglan frowned slightly and spoke. Her identity is already embarrassing, if she is not cautious, I am afraid that the future will be more and more difficult.

"This king is not afraid of being reprimanded, what are you afraid of?" Chu Yunxi said, "The king will take care of everything for you." ”

His Royal Highness said that she was responsible for everything, and Xia Fenglan's heart warmed slightly.

"Princess, don't refuse the prince." Jin Ci interjected a sentence at the right time, "If you sit in the sedan chair at the back, won't you tell the whole world that the prince treats the main room harshly?" Moreover, at this time, if you prepare another sedan chair, I am afraid it will be too late to enter the palace to meet you. If it's late, His Highness will be reprimanded as well. ”

Chu Yunxi gave Jin Ci an approving look, he had never felt that Jin Ci was so empathetic.

Every word Jin Ci said was reasonable, although Xia Fenglan was a little hesitant, she had no reason to refute, so she could only nod at Chu Yunxi, and got into the sedan chair with the support of her subordinates.

The sedan chair was very stable, but Xia Fenglan felt a little uncomfortable. The atmosphere in the sedan car is a bit dull and breathless.

"What's wrong, Feng Lan, isn't feeling well?" Chu Yunxi had been paying attention to Xia Fenglan's expression, and when she saw her frowning slightly, she immediately asked.

"It's nothing," Xia Fenglan shook her head, "It's just a little boring." ”

Chu Yunxi opened the curtain next to him, "Wouldn't this be better?" As he spoke, he wanted to tie the curtain up, but after looking for a long time, he couldn't find the rope, so he had to pinch it with his hand.

"Your Highness is looking for this?" Xia Fenglan stretched out her hand, and a red ribbon lay in the palm of her white hand.

"yes, that's it." Chu Yunxi said that he was about to take it.

"Your Highness, this kind of thing, let's let Feng Lan come." Xia Fenglan said, took the curtain from Chu Yunxi's hand, carefully tied the ribbon on it, and carefully tied a flower.

"It's a pretty flower." Chu Yunxi praised, "Jinci doesn't have such skillful hands." ”

"Feng Lan has nothing to do at home, so she likes to get these little daughter's things." Play with another ribbon at hand. Xia Fenglan pulled the ribbon into another flower for a while, and then made a strange pattern.

Chu Yunxi glanced at it twice, hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, she never knew that Feng Lan would have such a little daughter posture.

Noticing Chu Yunxi's gaze, Xia Fenglan realized how naΓ―ve her current actions were. couldn't help blushing slightly, and put away the rope in his hand: "Your Highness, it's Feng Lan who has lost her honor." ”

"It doesn't matter." Chu Yunxi chuckled lightly and said, "Jin Ci also likes these things, but she is clumsy, you can teach Jin Ci when you have time." ”

"Feng Lan wrote it down." Xia Fenglan nodded.

"What else are you good at? Let's listen to it, and there are a lot of teachings. Chu Yunxi asked. In her previous life, she never cared about Feng Lan, and she didn't even know what Feng Lan was good at.

The two lowered their heads and talked for a while, and the atmosphere in the sedan car gradually became harmonious.

After chatting with Chu Yunxi for a while, Xia Fenglan realized that the person in front of her was not as difficult to get along with as rumored.

Feng Lan is good at playing the piano, Feng Lan likes to chant poetry, and Feng Lan likes plain colors. It was the first time Chu Yunxi knew so much about Xia Fenglan.

The stable sedan chair suddenly tilted, and Xia Fenglan didn't have time to hold on to the handle beside her, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Chu Yunxi's eyes were quick, and he hugged Xia Fenglan in his arms, "Are you okay, Fenglan?" Chu Yunxi asked with concern, "Did you hit anywhere?" ”

Xia Fenglan only felt that she had entered a warm embrace, and a gentle greeting came from her ears, and she couldn't help but blush. hurriedly broke free from Chu Yunxi's arms: "No, it's nothing." "The roots of my ears are already red.

"Don't move." Chu Yunxi said, and stretched out his hand to Xia Fenglan's clothes.

Xia Fenglan blinked and looked at him suspiciously. The moment Chu Yunxi touched her, he subconsciously dodged, and found that Chu Yunxi had no malicious intent, so he didn't dodge.

Lifting the placket of her clothes, Chu Yunxi found that Xia Fenglan's shoulder had an obvious burn, as if it was an injury suffered not long ago, and the wound had not completely scabbed. Chu Yunxi's face was slightly gloomy: "How did you get this?" ”

"I did something wrong and was punished by my wife." Xia Fenglan lowered her eyes and said lightly.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yunxi narrowed her eyes and looked directly at Xia Fenglan.

"Nothing." Xia Fenglan avoided her gaze and didn't want to say more.

"Look at me, Feng Lan!" Again, every time she asks a question, she avoids her gaze and doesn't say anything! She hated Feng Lan's silent appearance.

"What's the point of Your Highness knowing this?" Xia Fenglan sighed and looked back at her, "It was Feng Lan who was unwilling to marry His Royal Highness, and when Mrs. persecuted her mother on her father's orders, Feng Lan blocked her mother for her." Is Your Highness satisfied with this answer? ”

Chu Yunxi was speechless for a while, facing Xia Fenglan's clear eyes, he would always think of his previous life, and he could no longer speak.

The atmosphere in the sedan car became silent together, Xia Fenglan didn't speak, and Chu Yunxi didn't know what to say to break the embarrassment.

"Your Highness, the palace gate has arrived." The sedan chair stopped, and Jin Ci lifted the curtain, breaking the silence of the room.

Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead in stepping out of this dreary sedan chair, with a trace of chagrin in his heart.

"Your Highness, watch your step." Jin Ci stretched out his hand and wanted to help Chu Yunxi.

"No, you don't." Chu Yunxi shook his head and pointed behind him, "You go and help the princess." ”

"Hmm." Jin Ci nodded, and went to the back to help Xia Fenglan, "Princess, let the slave and maid help you." ”

Let her cronies support her at the gate of the palace, this is to tell the world how much she cares about this princess. After today, no one dares to underestimate her status as a princess.

Xia Fenglan looked at Jin Ci, then at Chu Yunxi, who was facing away from her, and pursed her lips, her heart was complicated.

She is in Xia Mansion, she has seen all the ways of the world, and she has seen the faces of all kinds of people, but she can't guess the thoughts of King Jing in front of her.
