CHAPTER XXIV

Finally entering the palace again, Si Kouxi couldn't help but stop, she knew in her heart that since she chose to return here today, no matter what happened in the future, she would have to bear all the consequences. She hoped that she would bear all the joys and sorrows of the future with Lan Jing, instead of experiencing everything that her aunt had experienced. She looked up at the man next to her, and the same man turned to look at the person next to her, and she whispered, "Can I trust you?" Lan Jing stretched out his hand and looked at Si Kouxi. Si Kouxi looked at the hand, she slowly stretched out her hand and gently put it up. Lan Jing tightened his hand suddenly: "I will always advance and retreat with you!" This sentence is far more reassuring for Si Kouxi than any sea oath. Si Kouxi doesn't want to care so much now, love is not something that everyone can count.

Because Si Kouxi came back in the entire palace, the low air pressure gradually dissipated. The palace has returned to its former vitality.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, plus there are so many people staring at the palace, although Si Kouxi left the palace to go to Bihai Palace, but everyone thinks that Si Kouxi has returned to Si Kou's mansion, so there are only some rumors that the six princes and the six princesses are not in harmony, and there are no more excessive words, this matter has become an after-dinner chat of some wealthy families at most. But this incident left a little unpleasantness in Si Kouxi's heart, and she always felt some guilt in her heart, which was always caused by her personally.

Since this matter reached Si Kouxi's ears, she was depressed, and Qi Shu brought lunch into the room and looked at Si Kouxi holding her chin with a melancholy expression. She shook her head helplessly, set up the lunch as it was, and then put the chopsticks into Si Kouxi's hand. Si Kouxi was also disturbed all of a sudden, and Qi Shu was helpless: "Hurry up and have lunch, princess, aren't you hungry if you haven't eaten in the morning?" Si Kouxi took Qi Shu's hand and said, "What's going on outside now?" And did the prince say anything? What was his expression when he came back early? Yan Shu smiled and said, "I've never seen you so helpless, if you want to know, go and see for yourself, the prince hasn't eaten lunch yet!" After saying that, he turned around and left, and Si Koxila couldn't hold it back.

Si Kouxi thought in her heart that she would have to die early and late, instead of feeling guilty and entangled in death here, it was better to go directly to Lan Jing to see what kind of attitude he had, at most she would be criticized, even if she wanted to quarrel, she could scold her back, so she went with self-encouragement, and brought a lot of food by the way. She went so majestically, but as soon as she arrived at the door of the study, she was stunned, and wanted to turn around and leave quietly, who knew that as soon as Yinyue saw her, she immediately reported to the inside, and before she could turn around, a low voice came out inside: "Come in." Si Kouxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter the study. Lan Jing is also strange, in fact, Si Kouxi rarely comes to the study, and it is even more strange to watch Si Kouxi come in and bow his head for lunch. He immediately put down his official duties, walked to her side to help her set up her things, took her hand and sat down and said, "Why did you suddenly come to the study, why haven't you had lunch so late?" Si Kouxi pretended to be calm and said, "Haven't you eaten yet, can't I eat with you?" Lan Jing smiled and said, "Okay! Eat together, call me if you want to have lunch together in the future, you don't have to bother to bring so many things, you won't be tired! After speaking, he began to eat, but the taste of this dish was not the same as usual, and it was obviously not made by the chef in the palace. He turned his head to look at Si Kouxi and asked, "Who made this dish?" Si Kouxi couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when she heard him ask, she never felt that her cooking was unpalatable, but now she was a little worried, and she hugged the bowl a little timidly and said, "What's wrong?" Does it taste bad? She wanted to cook to make amends for Lan Jing's sins, but she didn't expect that the food she cooked was not up to his appetite. Lan Jing looked at her face that immediately drooped, took a chopstick dish into Si Kouxi's mouth, and said to me with a smile: "It's delicious, I didn't expect you to cook and do it so well!" Lan Jing said this, and Si Kouxi couldn't help but put down a big stone in his heart. The two of them finished the meal quietly, but Lan Jing knew that Si Kouxi definitely had something to say, so he asked his subordinates to remove the meal, took Si Kouxi's hand and sat at the desk and said, "Since you are here, accompany me." In the past, your brothers always praised you for your unique insights, and this time let me see it. Lan Jing believed that sooner or later, Si Kouxi would not be able to sit still and would say what he wanted to say.

Si Kou Xi'an sat quietly for a while, she also knew in her heart that Lan Jing just wanted her to say what she wanted to say, she pulled Lan Jing's sleeve, lowered her head and said: "Some time ago, because I was not thoughtful, I left the palace without authorization, and now I don't know what this matter is said outside, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being reckless." Played a child's temper. Lan Jing thought there was something big, the emotional little girl was actually for this matter! He took Si Kouxi into his arms and said, "Xi'er, it's not your fault, it's me who broke your heart." Also, it's okay to play with me as a child, and you can only play with me. Si Kouxi has always thought that people in high positions especially care about face, including herself, she didn't expect Lan Jing to care at all. This still touched her heart a little.

After Lan Jing's persuasion, Si Kouxi didn't take this matter to heart, and concentrated on staying by his side and watching him handle official business.
