13. The belt gradually widens
Time flies, and it has been more than ten days since the day when Zanguo sent his envoys to leave Shu, and Her Royal Highness the princess who came to Nanshu and her relatives was not only not sealed, but even looked a little emaciated.
I heard that Xiao Hanyu was so poor that he only ate a small bite of rice, and Li Wujian couldn't help but pay attention to it. This was also achieved, and the prince of Nanshu, who was originally scheduled to take Princess Nadongzan as his side concubine, went to his bedroom for the first time to visit him.
Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, the palace ladies and eunuchs in the entire palace knelt on the ground in panic.
Of course they were scared. Although the future son of heaven doesn't seem to pay much attention to the one in the house, she is a princess of a country, with golden branches and jade leaves! Now, they have not been able to serve people well, and seeing this nobleman's clothes widening, how can they not worry about their own heads?
Fortunately, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, he did not ask them about the guilt first, but went straight into the inner room, and then saw the girl lying on the bed and pretending to sleep.
Li Wujian was indifferent on his face, but he was secretly surprised in his heart: he didn't expect that in less than a month, this girl, who was still lively and bright once upon a time, had a face that was so bad.
In this regard, he didn't have any feelings of pity in his heart, but this person was personally sent to his palace by the envoys of friendly countries, and if something really went wrong, he really couldn't explain it to the emperor of Dongzan.
Thinking of this, the man's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked Scarlet Snow, who was waiting on the side, what was going on.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid heard from the princess that she missed her hometown and wanted to come...... I think it's a worry. โ
Scarlet Snow replied respectfully on her face, but she was a little disdainful in her heart. Of course, the object of her disdain was not her master, but this man who had been hanging his master for more than half a month - until the master was in a situation and hurried to play on the scene.
Li Wujian stared directly at the girl with low eyebrows, and his sword eyebrows narrowed.
Homesickness is not incomprehensible.
As he pondered this, he heard a slight movement on the couch.
Xiao Hanyu, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyelids closed, heard the sound in the house early in the morning, and knew that he had finally alarmed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Shu. At this moment, she was "waking up leisurely" and met the man's handsome face.
I have to admit that this man is a little better looking than Lan Mozhi. However, she will not casually hand over her life to him just because of this handsome face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......" The girl pretended to be surprised at the right time, "struggling" to get up and salute.
Seeing this, no one reached out and pressed her body, and directly said the word "no courtesy" in his mouth.
"Can you ask the Imperial Doctor to come and check the pulse?" He blurted out a question, but his eyes turned to the scarlet snow in front of the bed.
"If I go back to His Royal Highness, I have seen it, and the imperial doctor can't see the reason, but the princess is worried."
It seems that I am really homesick.
Li Wujian felt that this kind of thing was normal, but as soon as he turned around and was about to appease a few words, he was caught off guard by the girl's tearful eyes.
"Your Highness, can you send me back?"
As soon as these words came out, the corners of Li Wuji's eyebrows jumped.
"Can't ......"
What is this?
Li Wujian felt that although this sixteen-year-old girl didn't look very smart, she shouldn't be so stupid, right? She is a princess sent by her father to kiss her, where can she say that she will go back?
Before he had nowhere to vent, he witnessed the girl's crying.
"It's Hanyu's vain, please forgive ...... Your Highness" After finishing speaking, Xiao Hanyu choked back tears, and I saw pity hanging my head.
Li Wujian suddenly didn't know what to say.
Rao was playing carefully under his nose at that time, or fearlessly interceding for his little niece, who was just a little girl who had to leave her hometown in her prime.
Yes, for the past 20 days, he has been sending the shadow guard to monitor her every move, but he has not noticed any abnormal behavior on her part, on the contrary, he also unexpectedly learned from the shadow guard that this girl is a person who dozes off and drools when she copies the scriptures...... Not like a princess of princesses.
As for why this is so, he still sent someone to investigate, and he thought that he would get the results in less than a month.
Gradually, so, he began to believe that this girl was not a scheming and scheming womanโat least, she had no intentions.
Now that she has let down most of her vigilance against the girl, she feels a little pitiful at the moment. He knew that he was ruthless and loveless to her, but he would treat her well.
"Don't be sad, this palace is busy with the funeral of the first emperor and the enthronement ceremony, and I neglected you, after a while, this palace will take time to accompany you more."
Before the words fell, Xiao Hanyu, who pretended to be unable to hold back her tears, was stunned.
No, please continue to neglect me, and you must neglect me for a long time.
As soon as she said this in her heart, she raised her face and said in fear: "Your Highness is serious! I didn't mean that, I just ...... Just ......"
Li Wujian looked at her face that was already in tears, his heart suddenly softened, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, this palace understands." โ
No, you don't understand! You must have misunderstood something!
Xiao Hanyu endured the twitching of the corners of her mouth, and looked at her with her own relatives.
"Take care of the princess." She watched his eyes turn for a moment, and ordered the palace people in the room, and then stared at her again, her lips opened, "Or...... This palace asked Xiang Ming to talk to you? I think that kid likes you a lot, and he won't trouble you. โ
Li Wujian originally felt that something was missing in the first half of the sentence, so he subconsciously discussed with the girl. However, as soon as the words came out, he regretted it a little.
Yes, he obviously didn't want his little niece to have more contact with this girl. For this reason, he also specially issued a strict order to Liuli, if he wanted to do everything he could to prevent the two from meeting, even if he lied to the little guy that her "sister" was unwell and needed to recuperate, it didn't matter.
Now that I think about it, my words to achieve my goals have become prophecies.
Li Wujian was not superstitious about any curses or sins, however, thinking about it coldly, he still felt a little sorry inexplicably.
So...... Let the two of them see once in a while, and it doesn't matter.
Thinking so, he saw the girl looking up into his eyes with tears on her face and stunned.
Xiao Hanyu really didn't expect that this prince of Nanshu, who didn't even bother to look at her a few times, would have a clear eye to find a little guy to relieve her boredom. What surprised her even more was that in her eyes, she couldn't see any hypocrisy. It can be seen that his mention is all from the bottom of his heart.
Thinking about it this way, he's actually quite a good person, right? Although he was a little fierce to Xiao Xiangxiang.
Stunned to take other people's expressions in specific situations as the norm, the girl was silent thoughtfully for a while, and finally came back to her senses before the man became suspicious.
"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, I still don't want it, I'm not feeling well anywhere these days, I think it's not light, if I give my illness to the little county lord, then it will be difficult to escape the blame."
She hurriedly pretended to be wilting, and there was a hint of arrogance in her tone.
Looking at her like this, Li Wujian didn't know what to say.
It's just that he's not the kind of man who is good at dealing with women.
The young future emperor slowed down and raised his eyebrows, leaving a sentence of "Then you are so resting, don't think about it anymore", and turned to leave.
Xiao Hanyu watched his back disappear at the end of his vision, and then he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
It's okay, it's okay. Her plan can still go ahead as scheduled.
