Prince Wen's Mansion, the New Year has passed.

The sky is as cold as water, the red candles in the hall are swaying, the fine snow outside the hall is slanted, the thin snow is quietly dripping along the eaves, the plum has been in full bloom, the red buds and calyxes are full of branches, the cold fragrance is fragrant, the scenery is charming.

Tang Anxia shuttled through the plum forest, the red petals shyly bloomed all over the branches, the bright sunlight penetrated the blooming cold plum branches and buds, and the mottled shadows of the trees were reflected in the white snow, piling up silver and jade.

When Aunt Yun saw Tang Anxia's figure, she was not as enthusiastic as before, but greeted her calmly, as if she were treating other masters, and respectfully blessed her body: "The old slave sees the second young lady, His Royal Highness is eating in the hall." ”

After that, he led the way in front with an indifferent face, and no longer greeted Tang Anxia with a cold greeting.

Fang Yan noticed Aunt Yun's unusual, and also knew that her master would not grovel and take the initiative to soften, so she opened her mouth to break the embarrassing atmosphere and said mischievously: "Aunt Yun is okay recently?" ”

Aunt Yun glanced sideways at Tang Anxia, who was calm, and replied coldly: "Miss Fang Yan doesn't understand my bitterness, while busy with the affairs of Prince Wen's mansion, she is worried about the young and vigorous His Highness, but whenever he is willful, I always need to find ways to deal with the aftermath for him, so as not to leave trouble." ”

There is something in these words, implying that Tang Hong defiled the princess, Tang Anxia naturally understood, she pursed her lips lightly and chuckled: "Aunt Yun, rest assured, Jun Qi is kind to me, and I will never forget it." I am also affectionate and righteous to Junqi, if Junqi is in need, I will not hesitate to go to the mountains and seas. ”

Aunt Yun's eyes flashed with a moment of doubt, and her tone was faint, mixed with a little unhappiness: "The old slave heard that the ice flower hibiscus jade that the eldest prince has worn since he was a child was given to the second young lady. ”

After finishing speaking, the corner of his eye lightly glanced at Tang Anxia's Bihe high-waisted skirt, with a white ribbon tied around her waist, as white as snow, and the jade pendant with a finely carved golden dragon and jade phoenix hung brightly in front of the dress.

Aunt Yun's face suddenly darkened, her deep-set eyes flashed with disdainful black light, and the corners of her mouth were deflated: "The status of the eldest prince is noble, so he can naturally protect the second young lady well, but our Prince Wen is also a relative of the emperor, not a random person who comes and goes at will." ”

The cold wind blew on her face, Tang Anxia felt that her fair cheeks were as cold as frost, and the curvature of her mouth rose slightly: "Aunt Yun is too worried, my thoughts about Jun Qi will not change from beginning to end." As for the jade pendant rewarded by the eldest prince, I wear it with me purely for self-protection, after all, like Jun Qi, I live in the invisible bloody rain. If something happens to me, I will also implicate Junqi, and if I am safe, I will also protect Junqi. ”

Aunt Yun frowned, and at this point, she stopped saying something to mention Tang Anxia.

In the hall, Li Junqi had finished his meal and was sitting on a soft couch flipping through a thick scroll that recorded the history of the royal family.

The maidservants were busy cleaning up the table, and Ziyu stood by Li Junqi's side with her hands down and stood by her side at any time.

Seeing Tang Anxia and Aunt Yun coming in, the slaves and maids saluted one after another: "See Second Miss, Aunt Yun." ”

As soon as Li Junqi heard that Tang Anxia was coming in person, the whole person rushed down, like a lightning speed, and said warmly: "Anxia, why are you here?" Are you feeling better? His face looks a little haggard, and he should rest in Guiyuan for a few days before going out! ”

Tang Anxia didn't answer immediately, she looked Li Junqi carefully up and down, left and right, and made sure that he was safe and sound, and did not suffer the slightest injury, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, you're fine." ”

Ziyu deliberately coughed lightly twice, and he was unhappy when he saw the ambiguity between Tang Anxia and the Li Junqi in front of him.

Li Junqi's cold eyes made people not feel the slightest temperature, and his deep voice did not have a trace of ups and downs, as cold as a thousand years of ice: "You all stand down, this king has something important to talk to the second lady alone." ”

The people in the house were blessed with interest: "Yes." ”

Fang Yan looked at Tang Anxia tentatively, after all, Prince Wen in front of him was a terrifying king with unfathomable martial arts and a scheming city as deep as a secluded pool.

If it were His Royal Highness who was polite, simple and innocent, and simple and cute in the past, Fang Yan would hand over the second miss to him without any worries.

Tang Anxia gently squeezed Fang Yan's cold little hand, and her lips opened lightly: "It's okay, you wait for me outside the hall, don't worry." ”

Fang Yan pursed her lips that were a little chapped, and responded to Tang Anxia's sweet smile.

Seeing that a room full of people were leaving, Fang Yan honestly guarded the door of the hall, not knowing whether it was frozen or nervous, and her red little face was flushed with uneasy kicking.

In the blink of an eye, only Tang Anxia, Li Junqi and Ziyu were left in the huge hall.

Li Junqi stared at Ziyu incomprehensibly, and his words revealed an impersonal indifference: "Ziyu, you step back first." ”

Ziyu's pupils were full of indifference, and the whole person was like an iceberg of pride in the lonely wind, and his tone was light and sneering: "Second Miss, do you know that the man opposite you is not His Royal Highness that you secretly promised?" Don't lose your measure. ”

Tang Anxia looked at Ziyu with a handsome face in surprise, he was like a statue that was being explored and examined, and his eyebrows and eyes were overflowing with a penetrating coldness. It seems that after staying with Li Junqi for a long time, he has also become unkind, indifferent and arrogant, without any ups and downs and emotions between his words, and his face with pink makeup and jade is rejecting people thousands of miles away, but it is unattainable.

Li Junqi frowned slightly, and his deep voice was as piercing as ice: "Ziyu, now I am Prince Wen, have you forgotten the transaction between us?" You don't need to be jealous of me, I won't hurt anyone around Li Junqi, I clearly remember my promise, I will protect you until the day the real Li Junqi returns. I ......"

When the words came to his lips, Li Junqi hesitated, glanced at Tang Anxia, who was silent beside him, and his voice suddenly turned low: "I...... I also hope to return to the original world one day as soon as possible. ”

But, what does she do?

According to Li Junqi's understanding, the real Prince Wen is a weak scholar who is powerless, if she is gone, who will protect her safety? Who will protect her strong one?

This thought flashed through his mind, and Li Junqi couldn't help but be startled.

He would have an attachment to a woman from another world? Obviously to protect her for a deal, but unconsciously fell into a terrible whirlpool - exhausted and worried about her.

Ziyu seemed to see through his thoughts, and sneered: "You two, it's better to remember that you are just completing a transaction." ”

Then, he walked away without looking back.

Tang Anxia's cheeks couldn't help but flush......
