Chapter 17: Senior Sister

"What the saint means, how dare his subordinates speculate at will?" Xiao Ce didn't explain, or didn't bother to explain at all.

"That's it, His Highness will take a look at her and leave, to see if she is a beauty." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a faint smile on his lips.

Concubine Yong's seductive eyes stared at the prince for a long time, as if she was speculating on something.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhurriedly picked up the cup on one side, took a sip of tea, and didn't show it, and wanted to sit down here all the time.

"Since His Highness wants to see it, let's pass on that woman, but she is just a lowly woman of the people, and you all regard her as a treasure?" Concubine Yong's tone was very disdainful, and she seemed to look down on the princess who was about to be canonized.

Xiao Ce was speechless, and must have acquiesced.

So, the palace maid beside Concubine Yong immediately ordered the order and went to invite the girl.

In fact, when I saw Xiao Ce here, I could be sure that that girl was my senior sister.

The maid of the palace soon came with a girl.

I looked from afar, and what I saw was a woman wearing a pink and purple dress, a hairpin, light and delicate makeup, beautiful and moving, this woman was none other than my senior sister.

It's just that even if she wears exquisite makeup, she can't hide the sadness between her eyebrows.

When she entered the hall, she bowed down to Concubine Yong.

Concubine Yong looked at her senior sister with her eyebrows, the color of her dress today was somewhat similar to the gorgeous brocade on her body.

"This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please be safe!" Concubine Yong glared at her senior sister and said lightly.

The senior sister turned around, looked at the prince, and then leaned over and saluted: "Yun Ruo, I have seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”

When she spoke, she was a little depressed, and she didn't even look at the prince with her eyes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at me sideways, and I stared straight at my senior sister.

At this moment, I wanted to rush forward and talk to her, but Xiao Ce and the others were still staring at her, and I could only suppress the feelings in my heart.

"If she is really a beautiful woman carved in pink, it is no wonder that she is favored by her father." His Royal Highness looked at his senior sister and said with a smile: "In a while, His Royal Highness will ask the palace maid to send you a few clothes." ”

"This?" Senior Sister looked sideways and looked at Xiao Ce.

Obviously, now, Senior Sister has to look at Xiao Ce's face to act.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince droops love, what else do you have to hesitate about?" Concubine Yong reprimanded coldly.

"Then, thank you to Your Highness." The senior sister leaned over the prince again and thanked him.

I vaguely saw that when my senior sister lowered her head, there seemed to be a bruise-purple scar on the side of her neck.

Next, I didn't listen to what they were saying, because my attention was on Senior Sister, and after Senior Sister finished saluting, she sat next to Xiao Ce.

She was silent, her eyes were lowered, and I wanted to get her attention, but unfortunately she didn't even lift her eyes, and the whole person looked worried.

In less than half an hour, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said goodbye to Concubine Yong, and I looked at my senior sister with some reluctance.

Now, I do know that she is here, but there are so many people guarding this Yongfei Palace inside and outside, how can I meet my senior sister again?

Just as I was thinking about it, the palace maid next to me walked forward, and I hurriedly followed.

When I walked in front of my sister, I still looked at my sister expectantly, but my sister didn't look at me, but Xiao Ce's eyes looked at me.

The eyes, with gloomy coldness, couldn't look at the bottom of the depth.

I hurriedly withdrew my gaze and left the Yongxin Palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

As soon as he came out of this Yongxin Palace, the prince turned his face slightly, lowered his voice and said to me: "Don't worry, this evening, I will let you come to deliver clothes, and you can see her again." ”

In just one sentence, I suddenly turned my sadness into joy and looked at the prince.

He smiled at me, and the sun shone on his slightly pale face, making his smile as warm and transparent as jade.

We got on the sedan chair and returned to Anqian Palace, where Grandpa Sun had already prepared a meal in the Zhaisu Pavilion of Anqian Palace.

The prince withdrew the palace people who were originally going to serve him for dinner, leaving me alone, I looked at the twenty or thirty dishes on the table, a little stunned, and my stomach gurgled.

"Eat, don't be formal." He motioned for me to sit across from him.

You're welcome, and sit down as he wanted.

He began to use the silver chopsticks to pick up the dishes one by one, and I tasted them, and they were beautifully presented and crispy, but none of them seemed to be meat.

"Doesn't Your Highness eat meat?" I asked suspiciously, as I feasted on my meal.

He didn't use chopsticks himself, just sat across from me and watched me eat silently.

"I have a weak physique, and the Heavenly Master said that it is not suitable to eat meat, so I have never eaten meat since I was a child." He paused, got up and brought me a white porcelain stew pot in the distance.

"This is a medicinal soup, to ward off the cold, you can drink it." He placed the pot in front of me and opened the lid of the pot.

The heat came out instantly, and it was indeed a strong smell of medicinal soup, but the smell was not unpleasant.

Now that winter has arrived, the weather is getting colder day by day.

I picked up the spoon and drank the hot soup one by one, it tasted good, it was actually a little sweet.

It's just that, drinking this cold soup, I suddenly thought of Ming Beilin again, and I don't know if his body will become colder and colder after winter.

"Xiyan? Sunset? The prince called me a few times, and I came back to my senses in a trance.

"I asked the kitchenette to prepare this for you." He pushed a plate of sugar gourd in front of me, which was considered a dessert after the meal.

I looked at this sugar gourd, I don't know why, I always feel that in fact, the sugar gourd should be worn with a bamboo skewer, and then eaten in the hand, so as to enjoy it.

"Don't you want to eat?" Seeing that I was motionless, he was a little suspicious.

"I'll eat, thank you, Your Highness." I silently lowered my eyes and ate it, the syrup was just right, with a hint of the sweetness of osmanthus, and the syrup was not sticky to my teeth when chewing, and it was delicious.

"If you are full, go and rest, and when it is time for Shen, I will let you deliver your clothes." As he spoke, he handed me a silk handkerchief for me to wipe my mouth.

"Okay, but Your Highness, won't you eat some?" I looked at him curiously, as if he hadn't eaten a single bite of food.

"Well, I don't have an appetite." After speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was tired.

"I've finished eating, Your Highness, and you can go back to the dormitory to rest." I saw that he was not looking good, so I wiped my mouth and stood up.

He nodded slightly, also stood up, and sighed: "Xiyan, when can you really change your words?" ”

"Oh? I. I laughed dryly, after all, I just met for a short time, and I always felt that the word "Yu'an" was not good.

"Well, let's go and rest." He walked out of the Zhaisu Pavilion, there were still many palace maids standing outside, and Grandpa Sun was also waiting at the door, and when he saw us coming out, he immediately leaned over and walked towards the palace with the prince.
