Chapter 6: The Valley of the Red Face

She didn't know why, and she didn't know where he was going to take her, but now she could only follow him into the carriage, and he replaced the coachman and sat in front of her to drive the carriage for her.

She sat in the sedan chair, a little restless, so she couldn't help asking, "Your Royal Highness King Xin, I don't know where you want to take the slave and maid now?" ”

His warm voice, drifting with the wind generated by the carriage forward, seemed to sound even better: "Now you and me, I am no longer the prince, and you are not a slave, we are commensurate with you and me, okay?" Ying'er. ”

She heard the voice of King Xin's "Ying'er", but this title was too intimate, and she was obviously not used to it, so she replied with some embarrassment: "The slave doesn't dare!" The lowly bodies of slaves and maids do not dare to trespass. ”

Of course, she knows how thick the concept of respect and inferiority is in this era, not to mention that in the current situation where two people are alone, she doesn't dare to be casual, for fear that if she doesn't pay attention, she will misunderstand King Xin.

"Ying'er, are you afraid of me?" The prince asked with some frustration.

She was even more overwhelmed by this question, and she was not afraid of him from the bottom of her heart. It's just that she can't let any strange man break into her world anymore, she has been hurt enough, and she doesn't want to suffer another time. What's more, he is the prince, he is still the future emperor, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

Seeing that she didn't reply, the prince continued to say to himself: "Although I am the prince, I just really feel sorry for you and want to be good to you." Ying'er, don't you reject me so coldly thousands of miles away, okay? ”

She didn't believe in love at first sight in her heart, not to mention that the person in front of her was the princess who had just accepted the princess a month ago. It's just that when she heard the tone of the prince, she didn't want to continue to speak coldly, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to be silent, didn't say anything, and opened the sedan curtain boringly to enjoy the scenery along the road.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage slowly stopped, and Wang Ye Xin stood outside the sedan chair and called her gently: "Ying'er, we arrived at ••••••", he waited for her to get out of the sedan chair, but there was no movement or sound in the sedan chair, "Ying'er?" The prince was a little panicked in an instant, so he opened the sedan curtain to take a look.

She had already fallen asleep peacefully in the sedan chair, and the sound of even breathing made him feel at ease. Lord Xin shook his head, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to mock his nervousness, and it seemed to be a doting smile at her.

He remembered that when she left the palace today, she said that she didn't sleep well last night, and he thought that maybe she was also tired, so it was better to let her continue to sleep, so the prince did not wake her up, and carefully picked her up.

She hadn't slept well for a long time, but she finally slept peacefully, and when she woke up naturally, as soon as she opened her lazy eyes, she saw the handsome face of King Xin. His eyes, so gentle that they dripped, were smiling at him, and the distance between their faces was no more than twenty or thirty centimeters.

She then realized that she had fallen asleep on the lap of the Lord of the Letters, and she sat up in a hurry, and her cheeks flushed in embarrassment, and the King of the Letters kept smiling and staring at her, as if she was afraid that if one did not pay attention to her, she would disappear.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness King Xin, I'm actually asleep." She pulled the handkerchief in her hand embarrassedly, "Where are we?" With that, she began to roll her dark eyes and began to look around.

She couldn't help but be captivated by the scenery in front of her, and they were now in a fairyland. This is in a pavilion halfway up the mountainside, with lush mountains on both sides, and it is early spring, and the new shoots from the trees are still dazzling new green, which makes people's hearts a little brighter.

In the distance, there are also overlapping green peaks, towering peaks soaring into the sky, layers of white clouds suspended in the middle of the mountainside, just like a pure white satin, elegantly decorating the slender waist of a beautiful girl.

She seemed to hear the sound of gurgling water, so her wandering eyes began to search around, and sure enough, not far from the side of the pavilion was a mountain spring stream that flowed slowly from the top of the mountain, and she followed the water to find its whereabouts, only to find that the pavilion was half suspended, and the small stream rushed down from their feet, and looked down from above, like a beautiful waterfall.

She looked at the beautiful scenery in front of her in fascination, and King Xin's gaze on her never took her off, because now in the eyes of King Xin, she was his only and most beautiful scenery.

At this time, Wang Ye couldn't help but speak: "Ying'er, do you like it here?"

Without thinking about it, she blurted out, "I like it!"

Lord Xin laughed, revealing his white and neat teeth: "Ying'er, this is my favorite place to come, it is like a caring confidante, it can relieve all the bitterness and troubles in my heart, and I can only forget everything here, so I named it Hongyan Valley, but Ying'er, do you feel that something is missing now?"

She withdrew her reluctant gaze and looked at him in surprise, he smiled wickedly, and pulled out a large handful of white apricot blossoms from behind him like a trick: "*Don't learn from Mei and bully the snow, light red shines on the blue pool*." This apricot blossom is like red and white, with buds to be released, the flowers are delicate, most like Ying'er such as jade beauty. Shin put the flower in his hand into her hand, and his gentle gaze remained on her for a moment. She had to lower her head, not knowing how to place her gaze.

King Xin continued: "In the palace this morning, you obviously saw that apricot blossom into a god, and said that you don't love flowers, you little girl, do you know how much of a sin it is to deceive the imperial brother."

She smiled slightly: "The prince is so smart, I still can't hide this little cleverness from the prince." She didn't use the word slave anymore, because she didn't like the word in the first place, she traveled through the world before, everyone should be equal, after the crossing, although everything has changed, but she still feels in her heart that this world should be like that.

King Xin took over and said: "Ying'er, I don't understand your thoughts, this morning, the imperial brother was selected for my palace, and the others were dressed delicately and dazzlingly. You are the only one, so elegant and quiet, I know that you don't have the heart to be selected. Just now after seeing your obedience to your father, I realized that you entered the palace to run for fear of affecting your father, I don't know if I was right?"

She didn't want to hide it from him, so she replied calmly: "The prince is smart, he can't hide anything from the prince, I really don't want to run, I just don't want Tianfu to disperse because of me."

He was surprised: "Why don't you want to run, don't you want to be my princess?" He asked, slightly disappointed.

She replied thoughtfully: "It's not that I don't like you, I just don't like the life in the palace, you also know that the women in the palace are like flowers, many and beautiful, but they rarely end well, and I disdain the deceit of the harem, I don't like that kind of life." ”

When King Xin heard this, his frowning brows began to stretch, and he smiled heartily and said, "Then you still like me." He couldn't hide his joy in his heart, and laughed wickedly.

Hearing this, she began to bow her head and remain silent again, so the prince put away her smile and said to her seriously: "It turns out that Ying'er is afraid of this, but Ying'er is afraid that it is a misunderstanding, I am not the emperor, of course there is no harem, although this is a draft gift, but it is not a harem." Ying'er is so stupid! With that, he touched her head dotingly.

Only then did she react, in fact, now the prince doesn't know that in a few months, his royal brother will die, and he will inherit the throne.

But she didn't know how to explain to King Xin, so she had to say: "Although you don't have a harem, you are also a prince." Didn't you just accept Princess Zhou last month? I am not the only princess selected this time, and what I wish in this life is just like all women: monogamy, for a lifetime, dependent on each other, hand in hand. And you can't give me that. ”

His eyebrows gradually dimmed: "Yes, as a prince, I can give you anything else, but I can't give it to you." ”

She couldn't bear to say any more, so she had to say, "It's not early, I should go back, otherwise my father will be worried." ”
