Chapter 137: Carved Jade Gifts

Regardless of whether this was true or not, Xi Zhen felt that Ye Zhiqiu's abnormality today was related to her words yesterday, so she felt that it was necessary for her to visit him.

During the banquet, despite so many delicacies in front of her, she ate like chewing wax today.

When the king and queen saw her desolate appearance, they asked thoughtfully, "Is the food unappetizing?" ”

"No, no, the food was good." Xi Zhen said busily.

So why doesn't it seem like it's not in any interest? Everyone was suspicious.

"Can I go and see the Prince? I think...... Go see him. Xi Zhen asked with a red face, and for fear that they would have a misunderstanding, he hurriedly added: "I talked to him for a long time last night on the Yuntai, and I was worried that he was blowing the wind and catching a cold there. ”

This excuse sounded reasonable to others, so the king smiled and said, "Of course, you can go to see him after breakfast, and thank you for your interest in him!" ”

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do." As soon as the words came out, Xi Zhen felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't find any other reason, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Everyone understood and hurriedly changed the topic.

After breakfast, Xi Zhen went to Ye Zhiqiu's residence under the leadership of a palace maid.

As the prince's bedroom, the interior is extremely elegantly furnished, and Xi Zhen suddenly has an unreal feeling when she walks inside, and she has always been cautious in the face of things that are too gorgeous.

The life he lived was really top-notch, and every qiΔ“ was of high quality.

Hee-jin thought to himself as he walked.

Finally, she reached his side. She saw a pile of books on her desk, and those books made her feel kind for no reason.

Ye Zhiqiu had already gotten up and was standing by the window at this time. It seems to be thinking about something. On the table, his breakfast was placed, but there was no sign of it moving.

Is it a lack of appetite? Or is there something in my heart that I can't eat? Xi Zhen thought to himself.

Ye Zhiqiu was looking out the window with his back to her, his figure looked so lonely.

The prince of a big country, the object of envy of everyone, will have such a lonely figure, and Xi Zhen read some traits similar to himself in his heart at this moment. I couldn't help but feel a tightening in my heart.

Xizhen followed his line of sight, but saw a cluster of flowers blooming brightly outside the window, among the flowers. There is a pair of butterflies fluttering.

It turned out that it was really related to herself, and Xi Zhen's heart was hot, and her eyes turned red.

"Breakfast was getting cold. Prince. Xi Zhen said softly. As he walked towards him.

Hearing her voice, Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly turned around, and because he was a little excited, a little surprised, his eyes burned and glowed.

obviously wanted to distance himself from her, in order to slowly forget her, but she came in person, and his suppressed love instantly erupted like a volcano.

Xi Zhen knew that he couldn't withstand such an affectionate gaze from him. Busy smiled and said, "I saw that you didn't come to breakfast in the morning, and I was worried that you were sick." So take a look. ”

"Thank you! I'm not sick, I'm just ......" Ye Zhiqiu pursed his lips.

Of course Xizhen understood, she sighed lightly in her heart, and said with a smile: "Then please eat some breakfast first, skipping breakfast is not good for your health." Xi Zhen said as she picked up the bowl of wheat porridge and walked up to him.

Ye Zhiqiu took the bowl of porridge and drank it in front of her.

After drinking, he instructed the palace maid: "Put away the dishes and chopsticks, you are not allowed to come in without my order." The palace maid was busy obeying orders.

Xi Zhen's brain suddenly exploded.

What does he want to do? Xizhen had experienced Kui Da's actions against her, and finally had to make him faint with a trick, but Ye Zhiqiu was obviously not Kui Da's kind of person, did he have to force himself to make a move?

Xizhen suddenly felt that it seemed that men reacted in the same way when facing the women they liked.

But she has never been a casual person, she is on guard.

"Joy." Ye Zhiqiu called her name softly, this was the first time he had called her in such an intimate tone.

Hee Zhen was a little overwhelmed.

"I won't hurt you." Ye Zhiqiu looked at her with a panicked face and said softly.

Hee-jin didn't know how to answer, she felt that a man's words were not credible at such a moment.

"Hee-Zhen, I have only one request - let me hug you, okay? As long as I can hug you, I will have no regrets in this life. Ye Zhiqiu said, his eyes were as gentle as usual.

Hee-jin's mind was spinning fast.

Is "Let Me Hug You" a plot to take the first step, or is it just a request that literally means the same?

Before Xizhen could express her words, Ye Zhiqiu had already pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly with his arms.

Finally, she was in his arms, really in his arms. He had been unable to sleep for the past few days because he had been thinking about her, and he knew that he would be content to sleep tonight.

He could only keep telling himself: just hug her, but don't hurt her.

Xizhen, who was cramped to 'snuggle' in his arms, felt like crying, but she held back.

And he was so happy, because he hugged the woman of his dreams, he knew that in the long years to come, he would remember his feelings at this moment, and every time he recalled it, he would be full of gratitude to God.

But she was in his arms like a little animal afraid of being hurt, and he did not dare to move, and he finally realized the firmness of her heartβ€”she had already left her heart with the man she loved, and no one she met could compare with that person from now on.

He was jealous of the sweetheart he had never met, but what could he do?

Everything has to be on a first-come, first-served basis, right?

Anyway, since you can't get her heart no matter what, let them be perfected.

Ye Zhiqiu gently let go of her, and she immediately left from his arms.

"I'll go first, prince, please take care." Hee Zhen walked out briskly with the hem of her skirt.

What the hell is this? Hee-jin thought a little annoyed, but soon her mind adjusted.

Don't be influenced by the feelings of others, people must see clearly after all. Then go down silently and diligently towards your own path.

In the afternoon, Xi Zhen and other envoys went to visit the collection of the world, which is a six-story building. Each floor is neatly and orderly filled with books, with Buddhist books accounting for the majority.

They watched and lingered.

The king of the world asked them to take which books they wanted, and he would give them to the Xi Kingdom.

So in one afternoon, they selected more than 1,000 books, of course, mainly Buddhist scriptures. The king gave it to them generously, and they also donated a large sum of money to the kingdom in the form of sesame oil in the same way as they did with the gift of books from Gan.

The next day, Hee-jin asked the king for instructions that they were going to return to China the next day. And to thank the King from the bottom of his heart for his hospitality over the past few days.

She wanted to tell them in person that she was engaged, but then she thought about it and felt that since they hadn't asked. Wouldn't it be suspicious of taking the lead if I said it first? Then don't say it, anyway, Ye Zhiqiu may say it to them in the future.

The king was very fond of them and his party, but now he was a little reluctant to see them say that they wanted to return to China, so he hurriedly asked his people to prepare a sumptuous dinner. He was to see them off personally.

This evening. The queen went to see the crown prince.

"Tomorrow, the visiting group of Xi Kingdom will return to China, and you can't miss dinner tonight." The queen's tone was pampered and majestic, and even a little serious.

"I know, I'll be going, Queen Mother, don't worry." Ye Zhiqiu said, stretching out his hand to beckon his mother to sit down.

"Why were you absent from yesterday's morning banquet?" The queen asked again, looking at him with her eyes cautious.

Zhi'er is like her parents, she knows that he must have something in his heart. Otherwise, with his gentle and hospitable character, he would definitely not have come to participate.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to be alone yesterday." Ye Zhiqiu pretended to be calm and said.

He didn't really want to tell the truth.

"What does being quiet have to do with having breakfast?" The queen asked. She's not that easy to fool.

This time it was Ye Zhiqiu's turn and he didn't know how to answer.

"Don't think I don't know. I can guess what you said to Guang'an Hou on the gimbal that day? The queen went straight to the point.

Now it seems that he can't hide it from his mother, Ye Zhiqiu thought to himself.

So he nodded to his mother and said softly, "Guang'an Hou already has a marriage contract. ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, but it didn't take long for her to resist the urge to laugh and ask, "Are you sad because of this?" ”

Ye Zhiqiu nodded: "Queen Mother, I like her, I like her very much, but I admit that we met too late." ”

The queen stretched out her hand and patted his hand, and said earnestly: "So fate is destined, and I can't force it at all, so I want to open it." ”

"Uh-huh."

"I like this girl very much, I can understand your feelings, don't think too much, send her away happily, if you can still see each other in the day, at least everyone can still have this good memory in their hearts."

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

That night, Ye Zhiqiu came to the dinner, his expression was gentle as usual, and Xizhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's it! Xi Zhen said in his heart, his eyes still unconsciously looking at him.

This glance happened to meet his gaze, and Xi Zhen hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

However, Ye Zhiqiu strode towards her.

All eyes were on them.

Xizhen's face changed suddenly, but she tried her best to pretend to be calm as usual.

What did he want to say to her in front of so many people?

This is not only her question, but also everyone's question.

"Guang'anhou, this is my gift to you and your future husband." Ye Zhiqiu took out a rectangular box from his pocket and said to her softly.

Xi Zhen took it and opened it, it was a couple of dolls made of white jade, the female doll looked exactly the same as her, and the male doll was also seven or eight points similar to Chu Zihou.

"I haven't met your sweetheart, so I figured it out myself." Ye Zhiqiu said a little shyly.

"Much like him, thank you!" Xi Zhen said hurriedly, tears flashing in his eyes.

"The prince is good at carving, but he never refuses to take it lightly, and it is really not easy to get him to give it away." The king added.

The audience immediately smiled. (To be continued......)

When I wrote the first book "The Vast Fairyland", I was completely a rookie, I only cared about updating every day, and I didn't know much about writing and propaganda skills, so the results were very fluttering, this one was slightly better but there was still a big gap with the expected results, I would sum up the experience with my heart, and strive to write better and better day by day!
