Chu Xiaomeng happily swayed back to the courtyard, it was already evening, the sun had not set, the sky was red, there was quite a momentum of burning clouds, the clouds were surging into various shapes, there was no wind, so calm that even the sound of leaves falling could be heard. The palace is always the busiest at this time, and the girls who come and go have their own busyness, and only Chu Xiaomeng is the most casual.

However, today the palace seems to be extremely busy, and the girls are carrying things in their hands to a courtyard one after another, as if there is something big to do. Chu Xiaomeng guessed that it was Cheng's father-in-law and Lord Yan who came back? She thought about going up and asking, she had finished reading her book, and she was waiting for Cheng's father-in-law to bring her something new this time.

stepped forward to block a servant, Chu Xiaomeng lowered her voice with a smile on her face and asked, "Sister, what are you busy with?" Are Cheng Gonggong and Yan Wang Ye back? ”

The maidservant didn't know if she was in a hurry, but she was not dissatisfied when she heard Chu Xiaomeng ask, but she frowned slightly, and replied in a not very cheerful tone: "In a few days, the palace will have new guests, and the prince has ordered to entertain them well, and he is cleaning up the courtyard for the guests." How can we ask about the affairs of Lord Yan and Father-in-law Cheng, which courtyard are you? ”

The maid didn't recognize who Chu Xiaomeng was, and Chu Xiaomeng didn't have the meaning to let people know. He only smiled at the man, and said a word to disturb and let people go busy.

Cut, whatever. Isn't it just asking for something, and you can use such a bad tone? Chu Xiaomeng thought about it, and said that she didn't stretch out her hand and didn't hit the smiling person, and the tone of the person she asked just now was also kind, how could she get such a response, it was really uncomfortable to listen to.

Seeing that Chu Xiaomeng didn't ask, the maid glanced at Chu Xiaomeng disdainfully and went on to do her work. Chu Xiaomeng was speechless in place.

The arm was poked, and Chu Xiaomeng turned his head to see that she was still a maid in the palace, but it could be seen that if you were graded according to her dress, the one in front of her was obviously not as gorgeous as the one who was dressed.

"Girl, don't pay attention to her, the daughter of a rich and noble family, when she enters the palace, she delusionally wants to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, and she is not happy to see a girl who looks better than her. Didn't you just go to the courtyard of the wild goose after Mama Huang once or twice, and really thought she could be the hostess. ”

Chu Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment when she said this, it turned out to be the girl next to Mama Huang, so it is no wonder that the tone of her voice is superior. But I don't know what will happen if this girl knows that she is Chu Xiaomeng, Chu Xiaomeng doesn't want to ask for hardship, so she didn't introduce herself.

"By the way, just now she said that there will be new guests coming to the palace in a few days, who is it?" Chu Xiaomeng was interested, I heard Wang Youfeng say at the last banquet that he would come to the palace, and he didn't know when he would come. In the past few days, her father-in-law is not there, there is one less person who is chattering in her ear every day, even the prince of Yan is not in the house, and she was ordered by the prince of the wild goose to prohibit her from going out of the house, Chu Xiaomeng is really bored, and she wants to play with her.

"You don't even know that, huh? You're still new here, aren't you? It's Miss Yan Huan, the youngest granddaughter of General Yan, she has always been interested in our prince, and she hasn't come to the palace once or twice, every time our prince has to ask people to prepare a yard for her several days in advance. In this capital, if you want to say that you are the most compatible with our prince, I am afraid that Miss Yan Huan is not only talented, but also has General Yan's great hero as a backer, such an identity and status is not comparable to those prostitutes. Seeing that Chu Xiaomeng didn't know anyone, the maid thought that she had just come to the palace, and helped Chu Xiaomeng tell everything she didn't know.

Chu Xiaomeng was stunned in place, and quickly recalled what Cheng's father-in-law had said to her in her mind.

"I'll tell you the truth, there's a reason why our prince is not close to women, and he has to be careful about the personal girls. The prince had been seriously injured before, and once put himself in danger for a woman, and when we found him, the prince was injured all over his body, and he had forgotten all about the woman. Over the years, Mama Huang and I have been very cautious about the people who are arranged by the prince's side, but the prince has never been tempted by anyone......" At that time, when Cheng's father-in-law told Chu Xiaomeng this story, his tone was tactful, and even Chu Xiaomeng couldn't help but be moved.

At that time, I only sighed like water, and the wild goose prince was still an infatuated species, and when I thought about it today, I suddenly envied that woman for being so infatuated by one person.

Chu Xiaomeng thought about it, but couldn't help but ask: "Is it the woman who was injured for her by the Lord of Yan?" ”

When the maid heard Chu Xiaomeng say this, she immediately nodded and responded: "Yes, in addition to fighting, our prince has been injured for her." ”

Until she left, Chu Xiaomeng felt that the words of the servant girl had been circulating in her ears.

The color of the sky sank, and it was replaced by a black press, and I don't know if it was because of this relationship, Chu Xiaomeng felt that her heart suddenly became empty, as if something had been lost by her, or maybe... It wasn't hers in the first place.

Something that came out of nowhere, entangled her heart, shrouded in a layer of mist, found a weak place and rushed out, getting worse and worse, making Chu Xiaomeng's whole person become irritable unconsciously.

What is it? This strange emotion appeared in vain, which caught her off guard, Chu Xiaomeng, who has always been optimistic, immediately judged this emotion as a bad mood, she tried not to think about it, and tried to press this emotion back to the bottom of her heart, so that it was rotten in her heart, but it stubbornly always sneaked out.

When she dreamed back at midnight, Chu Xiaomeng stared at the ceiling with a pair of bright eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly, but a beam of moonlight came over and dispelled her fear of darkness. It seems that such a night is not so fearful if it is too preoccupied.

She remembered the first day she came to the palace, and that night it seemed to be the same, she couldn't sleep well, she couldn't sleep, so she put on her clothes and went to the courtyard to get some air. But not now, it's still quite cold at night, and Chu Xiaomeng doesn't have that courage.

It's amazing to think about it, she doesn't know where she got the courage at that time, she ran after the man in black so unscrupulously, and almost lost her eyes because of it. She is really stupid, the man in black is still the secret guard of the wild goose prince, if she hadn't met her in the garden that day, she still thinks that she was driving away the bad guys for the palace that day.

Lord Yan is really good, saying that taking care of her until her eyes are good, he really takes care of her until his eyes are good, he always moves tables and chairs to the room to read books at night, Chu Xiaomeng doesn't know when he left, anyway, with Lord Yan here, she fell asleep quickly, maybe because she knew in her heart that she was safe, and she didn't have so many scruples.

Cheng's father-in-law always said that she was different to Lord Yan, but she always didn't believe it. Because she doesn't believe in love at first sight, and she doesn't believe in what changes can happen to one person because of the appearance of another. After all, these are things that Chu Xiaomeng has never experienced.

But now that she seemed to want to believe it again, she realized that her heart had been shaken so many times before she knew it.

How so? Because of what? Because of the special treatment he gave her? Is it because of the tenderness on his face when he holds the mob? Or was it because of the nervousness about her that he would unconsciously reveal?

The more I think about it, the hotter my heart becomes, some secret joy, some hindsight and helplessness, but more of it is the sorrow that the soul can't get rid of.

People are probably like this, they always need something to stimulate themselves, so that they can think deeply about something floating on the surface, and then they suddenly have a sense of crisis and suddenly want to keep something.

A person who can make him desperate even if he is injured, that should be love in his bones, right? Chu Xiaomeng didn't understand either, but thinking about it, she felt that she wouldn't hurt herself for anyone.

She is not afraid of hardship, but she is most afraid of pain. That cooking skill is not easy to practice, at first even an egg can't be fried well, just because it hurts when the oil droplets splash on his hands, Chu Xiaomeng used a lot of courage to overcome this fear, but he was not so afraid.

She didn't know when she started to have this kind of thought, and the self in that dream was clearly moved by her heart, because of his proximity, her heartbeat was out of rhythm.

Thinking of the banquet that night, she desperately stopped the dancer, and if she was Chu Xiaomeng before, she would never do such a thing, but at that time, her heart was very firm, and a spontaneous emotion forced her to do so. That night was particularly dangerous, she had never seen such a bloody scene, but her subconscious was not to escape, she thought that if she wanted to leave, she should take him with her. It's just that she was forcibly taken out by Wang Youfeng, and after escaping, her heart has been very uneasy, and she can't calm down for a moment.

Thinking about it to this day, every bit seems to be telling herself that that person is different from her.

How is it different? It was his sudden proximity that would make her blush. I can't help but want to be tempted, tell the truth as a joke, and hide my love in the bottom of my heart. will be worried for a long time because of his words, and will feel a lot of emotion because of one of his actions.

Chu Xiaomeng turned over and buried her whole head in the quilt. But when he closed his eyes, he was holding the little monster, so gentle, so wanting people to get closer.

Thinking of this, that little joy also prevailed. She thought, is this what it feels like to like someone?

If that's what likes, then what about him? Would he feel the same way about her?
