Chapter 50: The Wife
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't speak, so naturally no one dared to say anything more, and they all looked at him quietly.
"Your Highness?" I opened my mouth to let him go back to the dormitory to rest.
As soon as I opened my mouth, snowflakes swirled and fell from the dim sky.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's body trembled slightly, and then he let out a coughing sound.
"Your Highness, the slave will help you go back, if it is the same as last year, you will get sick, but what will happen?" Gonggong Sun looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and said anxiously.
His Highness stood still, staring straight at the Merlin.
The "flowers and buds" of the plum blossoms are half opened, and they will be in full bloom soon.
However, no matter how fast it is, it should need to be in this cold wind for an hour or two, and I also looked at His Highness with some concern, he was already sick, and if he suffered from the wind and cold again, he was afraid that he would not be able to get out of bed for ten or eight days.
"Your Highness, I'm also tired, and I don't want to see the plum blossoms bloom." I yawned as I spoke.
He looked at me, nodded a little lonely, and muttered, "That's it, let's go back." ”
After saying that, I motioned for Aunt Xin to send me back.
"Your Highness, what about you?" When I said this, I wanted him to go back with me, but he stood where he was, with no intention of leaving.
"Your Highness has to watch this plum blossom bloom every year, if the girl is tired, the slave will send you back." Aunt Xin looked at me and said.
When I heard this, I was stunned and changed my words: "Since this is the case, then I will also stay with His Highness." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at me in some surprise, and then smiled at me, which was considered an answer.
It's just that our luck doesn't seem to be good, and the first stop in front of this plum forest is an hour and a half, and the snowflakes have accumulated on the ground, but those plum blossoms still haven't bloomed.
"Your Highness, Your Highness? Let's go back. Grandpa Sun held his hands and kept stomping on the ground.
Now that it's night, the cold wind is even worse, and the frozen lips of these slave palace maids are pale, but they can only wait hard.
"Go back, all of you." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his head sideways, looked at Grandpa Sun and said.
Gonggong Sun immediately shook his head: "Your Highness, the moon is dark and the wind is high now, what if?" ”
"Then I'll wait at the gate of the courtyard." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interrupted Grandpa Sun's words.
There is still a wall at the gate of the courtyard to block the wind and snow, and His Royal Highness is thinking about these minions.
Gonggong Sun looked at the people behind him, and asked a few guards to stay behind to protect His Highness, and the rest of the servants and palace maids followed him to the gate of the courtyard.
Aunt Xin originally wanted to accompany us here, but I signaled Aunt Xin to take shelter from the wind and snow.
"That girl, the slave is waiting, if Your Highness is unwell, you will persuade you to go back." Aunt Xin lowered her voice and whispered something in my ear.
"Okay." I answered, looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Only then did Aunt Xin retreat, and as soon as they left, His Highness spoke.
"Xiyan, if you're tired, go back." He looked sideways at me.
"I'm not tired, but why does Your Highness watch plum blossoms bloom every year?" I stood beside him and asked curiously.
A lonely smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I heard that my biological mother was very favored when she was alive, and my father built her a plum forest, and every year when the plum blossom season came, they (she) would enjoy the plum blossoms together." His Royal Highness said, adding a bit of bitterness to his smile: "When I was a child, I always wondered if my father would give me any love if my biological mother had not passed away. ”
"Your Highness?" Looking at his lonely expression, I also felt that my eyes were a little sour.
He turned his face sideways, avoided my gaze, and said in a calm tone, "He hates me, right?" Hates me for killing his only wife, but if I could choose, I would rather die that year. ”
"Your Highness, me?" I didn't know how to appease him.
"Let's go, tonight, I'm afraid it won't open." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned around and looked at me again, probably seeing that my face was also a little pale, and he wanted to pull me back.
I sighed, and finally raised my eyes to look at the plum branches, only to see that some of the plum blossoms were quietly blooming.
"Your Highness! Look, the plum blossoms are blooming! I smiled and raised my hand to the branch.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also raised his head in surprise and looked at the plum blossom tree, and suddenly the lonely look on his face gradually faded.
"It must be Her Highness's mother who knows that Her Highness cares about her, so she uses this to share her heart with Your Highness." As soon as I finished speaking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly hugged me, then leaned down and kissed me lightly on the forehead.
This sudden kiss made my head buzz, and the whole person was stunned, and at this moment, my mind was blank.
"Xiyan, I know that you have someone you like in your heart, but I am confident that you will fall in love with me completely and become my only wife." When he finished speaking, he lifted up his hand and took my face, and kissed me again.
"Smack!" With a bang, the plum blossom branch in the high place broke in an instant, and it fell directly from above.
His Highness hurriedly protected me and took a few steps back.
At this moment, I gradually "sobered up", feeling that my cheeks were hot for a while, and my heart was pounding wildly.
It's the first time I've had a man kiss me so straightforwardly and affectionately, I don't know what to do.
"Palace, Palace, Your Highness, the plum blossoms have also been seen, let's go back." I turned sideways away from him and pulled my hand out of his palm.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded with a smile and led me towards the courtyard gate.
I followed by his side, bowing my head weakly, inexplicably worried, just now that scene was seen by Ming Beilin.
But after thinking about it for a long time, and thinking that even if he saw it, it didn't seem to matter, I wasn't his sweetheart, just a "futon" to warm the bed, and he shouldn't care about these.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but smile wryly.
"I'm sorry Xiyan, I'm impulsive." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly stopped and looked at me.
I raised my head in a trance and found that I had already walked to the gate of the courtyard, probably because I was speechless all the way, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt that I was angry.
"Your Highness go back to the dormitory and have a good rest." I pursed my lips and smiled at him.
It's not so much angry with him as it is about loss.
"Yes, Your Highness, the wind is getting stronger and stronger this night, hurry back to the dormitory to take shelter." Grandpa Sun looked at His Royal Highness and said in a pinched voice.
These people, even if they stand here, have been frozen.
His Highness didn't say anything more, but walked towards the cloister.
When he arrived at the door of my house, he also instructed Aunt Xin to add more silver frost charcoal to me.
"Your Highness, the Silver Frost Charcoal has already been used by the girl, don't worry." Aunt Xin leaned over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness bowed his head, looked at me, and said three words: "See you tomorrow." ”
I answered and watched him go back to his dormitory.
