Because you are protecting me, Li Chongyan, not the prince! I need someone who will protect me wholeheartedly, whether I am a prince or not! ”

Li Chongyan finally said something completely heartfelt.

Whether I am the crown prince or not, I hope you can help me protect me...... Who else can I count on but you now?

Even your father, who is so humble and respectful, and doesn't have any bad intentions, I don't know if he will immediately turn his face if he knows that I am not the prince, let alone someone else?

Cao Xiwen could clearly feel an indescribable uneasiness in Li Chongyan's words, and he thought for a while: "Brother Li...... Belch...... Your Highness? ”

Li Chongyan immediately stretched out his hand and said, "When you and I are alone, we only call you and me, not Your Highness." ”

"Okay, Brother Li. I protect you because you are my friend. As long as you don't do anything that violates morality, I will always protect you, and it is the same whether you are a prince or not. ”

Li Chongyan was overjoyed: "Would you like to high-five me?" ”

"Come!" Cao Xiwen stretched out his hand.

Li Chongyan was just about to give a high-five, when he suddenly remembered something: "There is another person, I hope you will protect her like protecting me, I will be the king in the future, if I am entangled in state affairs, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not take care of one or the other." With you watching, I can rest assured! ”

"Who?"

"You'll see you later, Princess."

Cao Xiwen agreed: "Brother Li, don't worry, I will do my best for my sister-in-law!" ”

The two stretched out their hands to strike each other, and three crisp sounds rang out in the pavilion.

Li Chongyan felt that a big stone in his heart fell to the ground, which was a lot more soothing, and he smiled at the moment: "Now I have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The incident I mentioned to you that night...... It's the one that gets in the way. Did you tell your father? ”

Cao Xiwen didn't know what he had, and said strangely: "No." After you left that day, I went back to my room and went to sleep, and slept until dawn. ”

Li Chongyan secretly wondered in his heart, didn't he tell his father? So how did Cao Feihu and Ye Zhiqiu know? Or maybe he said it, but was too embarrassed to admit it? After all, he said that this was against his original intention of practicing martial arts. Could it be that he was in a dilemma on both sides and finally chose to help me?

In that case, I don't want to expose him well.

He smiled at the moment: "There is nothing to do, and the past will not be mentioned." Oh, by the way, that Ye Zhiqiu is really a mother-in-law, he has prepared two things for me to send you back to the banquet, so that your father can be happy. ”

"What's that?"

Li Chongyan took out two squares of ink from his sleeve, "Well, the thing you hate the most, but your father likes it." ”

"Uh......" Cao Xiwen smiled awkwardly.

"I'll give it to you when I go back, and you can keep it, which can be regarded as making your father happy."

"Okay." Cao Xiwen asked again: "Didn't you say that there are two things?" ”

"Oh, he said he had a plate of meat."

"This is good!" Cao Xiwen smiled: "I'll take half of you when I turn around." ”

"I'm going to eat the grilled ones."

"you! Lao Tzu gives you shabu, are you still not happy? While the two were talking and laughing, Cao Xiwen said smoothly for a while, and blurted out a sentence of "Lao Tzu", unconsciously sneering.

Li Chongyan didn't care, nodded and said, "That's right, the two of us will be like this in the future." When no one is around, it can be done! ”

"Holo."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go to the front, those people are still sitting stupidly."

"Oh, too."

"Hey, why is your father hiding it from you?

”

"He said that you are a county order, and besides, he won't let me call you by your name. Don't let me say that your daughter-in-law is beautiful. ”

"Hahaha."

"Is your daughter-in-law really beautiful?"

"Of course, you'll see for yourself later."

"Okay."

"But don't stare at it all the time!"

"You think I'm you, huh? The riverside stared at the female assassin without even rolling her eyes! ”

"Don't mention that female assassin!"

"Are you afraid that your sister-in-law will be jealous?"

The two of them talked and laughed freely, and went to the front hall.

At the corner under the garden porch, Ye Yin gently appeared.

She looked at Cao Xiwen's direction and thought to herself: I didn't expect him to be such an interesting person, his temperament is true, and he has no slave appearance when he sees the prince, and he is really a great husband.

******

Feast.

The cups are staggered, and the chatters and laughter are exchanged.

There are words in the wine you drink, and there is a front in the smile.

No one will only bring a stomach to the banquet, even Cao Xiwen, knowing Li Chongyan's identity, has a little more anxiety in his heart.

Because even if he can barely get along with Li Chongyan in private, but in front of people, he doesn't know how to deal with it at all.

Daddy never taught.

The two were hooking shoulders and giggling in the back garden, but the moment they walked to the front hall when Li Chongyan took his hand off his shoulder, Cao Xiwen clearly felt that he seemed to be a different person.

The look, the posture, and even the voice of the voice sounded a little unfamiliar.

As soon as Li Chongyan appeared, everyone stood up to greet him, except for the crown princess, who only symbolically owed a debt and sat back.

He raised his hand lightly as a matter of course, signaled, and at the same time turned his head and smiled at Cao Xiwen, as if to say, "Look, I didn't lie to you, right?" ”

Lao Cao looked at his son's uneasy expression, pondering that the prince had finally told him his identity, and he couldn't tell whether he should be relaxed or nervous.

He hid the secret of the prince's identity very hard, and finally the day when the truth was revealed, he didn't expect the prince to become fake again.

Isn't there an end to the secret? Still don't let people live?

Lao Cao was actually more worried than his son, and he only secretly prayed for one thing in his heart.

I hope that there will be no mention of rewards.

At this time, Zhu Zhijie also saw Cao Xiwen and took a closer look.

Although she doesn't have the art of contemplation, she can feel that this is a person with a pure and kind personality, and it is no wonder that her husband will be impressed by him, after all, there are too few people around her husband who are willing to treat him sincerely, and everyone is wearing a mask and flattering, where will he show half of his heart.

It's good to have a desireless person like Cao Xiwen to guard him.

Zhu Zhijie has already begun to think about what she should reward when she turns back. So he whispered in Li Chongyan's ear: "I see that he is also a safe one, it is better for me to reward him with something, so that he can do more to His Highness." ”

"You're careful."

"It's just that I didn't bring anything in this hurry, if it was a woman, I could pick a hairpin or two with me, but he was a man......"

Li Chongyan thought for a while and said with a smile: "This is a coincidence, Ye Zhiqiu just prepared two squares of ink for me and persuaded me to reward him, then it is better for you to do this matter." There are a lot of people now, so I'll quietly hand you the ink when I turn around. ”

"Lord Ye is thoughtful, then I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha." After Zhu Zhijie finished speaking, she turned to Cao Xiwen

Cast a smile.

When Cao Xiwen saw Zhu Zhijie smiling at him, he suddenly felt like he was nailed to the spot.

Damn, there is such a good-looking woman in this world! It's so pretty!

Cao Xiwen even regretted not reading more books at this moment, except for the word "good-looking" in his mind, he couldn't even find the words to describe her beauty.

No wonder Li Chongyan boasted about his daughter-in-law several times......

Uh, let's stop looking. This is the Crown Princess!

Cao Xiwen suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly lowered his head.

Ye Zhiqiu is the host, and since all the guests have gathered, they naturally have to step forward to speak.

He first saluted Li Chongyan and Zhu Zhijie, and then said aloud to everyone: "Holy benevolence, Heqing Haiyan." Now that His Royal Highness is working hard in supervising the country, he has not forgotten to personally go out of the palace to appease my ministers on this snowy day, and he is really grateful. ”

Everyone nodded.

"Today, all of you adults gather here by all kinds of coincidences, how can you be in a cold house, and I hope you have a lot of Haihan. The insiders have set up a small banquet in the snow house in the courtyard, please two highnesses and adults to move to the house with me. ”

Mrs. Ye stepped forward very tacitly, with an elegant demeanor.

Chen Qi and Zheng Lun and Ye Zhiqiu were close at hand, but they didn't talk at all. In the eyes of others, civil officials and military attachés are not familiar with each other, what can they talk about? Lao Cao noticed that the two of them looked very nervous.

What are they nervous about? Afraid that the prince will be ruthless and harm me? Or are you afraid that your own intrigues will not succeed?

It's hard to tell the treacherous......

Lao Cao saw Zheng Lun staring closely ahead, so he followed his gaze.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Lun didn't seem to be staring at the prince, but Ye Zhiqiu.

Why staring at him?

Lao Cao became more and more suspicious.

I saw Ye Zhiqiu talking and laughing with the prince while walking, with his hands behind his back.

Most people put their hands behind their backs, most of them when standing, and they walk with their hands behind their backs, unless they are pacing back and forth.

However, even if Lao Cao saw it, he would not think deeply about what this would mean.

After all, he has a limited mind.

Soon, after turning the courtyard gate, it is the snow house.

Everyone felt that the eyes suddenly opened up, and a half-pavilion and half-house building stood impressively.

Zhu Zhijie was born in the emperor, and has lived in the majestic Taiye since she was a child, what kind of pavilions and pavilions have not been seen, but Rao is so still can't help but praise "What a wild fun".

The roof of the house is soft and beautiful, simple and elegant, and its style is neither like the angular pavilions in Zhangren Palace, nor like the symmetry of the left and right in Taiye City, and the front and back are in pairs.

That feeling of naturalness is a kind of alien atmosphere.

Li Chongyan was also pleasantly surprised, saying that Ye Zhiqiu was an elegant person, but he was talking about his pen and ink, but he didn't expect that even a pavilion at home was designed with such ingenuity.

Only Cao Feihu was caught in the crowd, quite disappointed.

At first, when he heard Ye Zhiqiu mention Xuelu, he thought that it must be very splendid, but he didn't expect that it was as clean as a piece of white tofu, and the pond in front of the house was also very small, and there were a few thatched piles that could be seen everywhere in the countryside, and there were a few bald wild ducks on the edge of the grass pile.

What the hell is this? If you like this tune, go to our Jingzhou, and I'll give you a lot of it.

However, Cao Feihu still laughed a few times after all, and then applauded and praised: "It's so beautiful!" ”

He couldn't think of any other words.

Cao Xiwen couldn't help but look around, thinking only one thing in his heart.

She...... Don't you come?
