Lu Tingli walked to the bedroom and asked, "Is the princess sleeping?" ”

The maidservant glanced at the extinguished lamp and candle, leaned over and replied respectfully: "Back to the prince, the princess is probably asleep." ”

"I'm going to take a look." Lu Tingli quickened his pace, and the wind was blowing under his feet, as if he couldn't wait.

When he entered the house, Lu Tingli saw Xia Ningxing leaning on the bed, with a hazy meaning in the corners of his eyes, as if he had just woken up.

The dim candlelight reflected her stunning face, her black hair cascading down like a waterfall, obscuring half of her face, and her sparkling eyes were looking at him, with a slight emotion in them.

She heard what he had said to the maidservant just now.

His concern was so genuine that she couldn't help but have a feeling that he really cared about herself, not because she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

It seems to feel warm and love.

"Didn't you sleep?" Lu Tingli saw that she hadn't opened her eyes too much, so he couldn't help but step forward and come to her, frowning and asking, "Or did I wake you up just now?" ”

I don't know when he no longer called himself "this king" in front of her.

"I was woken up." Xia Ningxing yawned.

If it weren't for the situation last night, as long as there was the slightest sound of wind and grass outside, she would wake up habitually.

"I'm sorry......" Lu Tingli apologized with a look of annoyance, and he knew that he would be quieter.

Xia Ningxing was stunned, obviously not expecting him to apologize to himself.

And it is a sincere apology, and there is no fraud.

Even if he is the son of a palace maid, he is also a royal blood in the end, but his willingness to apologize to her shows that in his heart, he treats her as an equal person, not an appendage.

This discovery made Xia Ningxing's heart a little excited.

"I'll be lighter in the future." He added.

Xia Ningxing smiled sincerely and shook his head at him: "It's okay." ”

After such a toss, Xia Ningxing was not sleepy, thinking that he was called into the palace by the emperor today, she simply chatted with him about business: "Has the emperor already set a date for you to escort grain and grass?" ”

Lu Ting shook his head: "It's set, the day of suppression of bandits is five days later, and the grain and grass will go before the soldiers and horses, so the day after tomorrow, I will go to the front line with the grain and grass team." ”

He stared at her, his gaze clinging to her with a hint of imperceptible reluctance.

I don't know why, as long as the thought of leaving him, his heart will be empty, like something is missing.

"So fast?" Xia Ningxing was shocked, she knew that this matter was close, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

She frowned and bit her lip, not understanding why her heart was a little unhappy.

Xia Ningxing tried his best to restrain this strange thought, raised his face again, and looked at him worriedly: "Then you must remember to be careful, although you are only responsible for escorting grain and grass, but the two sides are at war, and the idea of fighting grain and grass has been indispensable since ancient times, those thieves will definitely try their best to destroy the other party's grain and grass, when the time comes, you must be careful, you must not have an accident!" ”

Maybe they were people with the same fate, or maybe they were moved by his concern for a few days, no matter what the reason, Xia Ningxing didn't want him to get hurt.

The words of her concern fell into his ears, Lu Tingli met her frowning and worried face, the position of his heart suddenly seemed to be soaked in warm water, and his resolute and handsome face was full of wisps of tenderness.

He walked up to her and stretched out his hand to gently straighten her broken hair: "If I don't have an accident, how can the third and fourth children fight?" ”

Xia Ningxing's voice was a little anxious: "You know, I mean to let you not really have an accident!" ”

She's worried about him!

The man suddenly smiled, and his handsome face was like the moonlight outside the window, bright and bright.

"Don't worry, I promise not, I will come back safely." He leaned close to her, his thin lips just a few centimeters away from her small, white earlobes, and the heat from the spray burned her.

The words seemed to be guaranteed and had a bit of lingering flavor.

Because of the man's approach, Xia Ningxing's tender face couldn't help but turn red, as if a layer of rouge had been swept, she was a little out of breath, and distanced herself from him slightly: "It's good that you remember, it's not too early, the prince should rest as soon as possible." ”

I don't know what happened, but as soon as she got close to this man, she felt that something was wrong with her whole body, her heart began to accelerate, and her face turned red.

Like sick.

Lu Tingli not only did not leave, but approached her, the extremely high bridge of his nose was almost poked on her cheek, and his low and deep voice carried a little unclear meaning: "Is it okay to call me by my name?"

"Why?" Xia Ningxing subconsciously asked rhetorically.

Lu Ting was silent for a moment.

In fact, this proposal was just a whim of him, and even he couldn't understand why he said this, but he didn't want to be too alienated from her.

But it's really hard to say this, so I can only force an excuse: "Is our relationship now considered friends?" ”

Xia Ningxing couldn't say anything, so he could only echo: "Probably ...... Right! ”

Lu Tingli was waiting for her words, and immediately continued to say: "Since it is a friend relationship, why use honorific titles again? ”

Xia Ningxing thought about it, then nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll call you Lu Tingli in the future, no, you may think it's nothing to call you by your full name, but people outside must think I'm very uneducated, or I'll call you Brother Lu." ”

Brother Lu.

When these two words overflowed from the girl's throat, Lu Tingli's heart speed was uncontrollably faster,

However, the inside is turbulent, and the surface is still undisturbed: "It's up to you." ”

Seeing that he had no opinion, Xia Ningxing bent his eyebrows and shouted again: "Brother Lu." ”

“…… Well. After a long time, the man replied in a low voice.

There was a hint of joy in his throat.

…

As soon as the day after tomorrow arrives, Lu Tingli will set off.

Xia Ningxing came with hundreds of officials to see each other off on the city tower.

The city tower is dozens of meters high, and when you look down, the people below are as small as ants.

Wagons lined up like rivers loaded with sacks of grain and hay, and the soldiers stood in a straight line, spears in their hands glowing coldly in the dazzling sunlight.

Lu Tingli was at the forefront, dressed in an iron-blooded uniform, the horse's fart fur under him was shiny, he held the reins in his hand, raised his forehead wearing armor, and turned to stare at the city tower not far away, his narrow eyes seemed to be looking for something.

After seeing a certain figure, even though he was hard, his body turned into a soft finger, and there was an instant temperature between his eyebrows.

He pursed his thin lips and smiled at her.

Even if it was far away, Xia Ningxing could clearly see the smile on his face, and she knew that he must be smiling at her.

It's just that she doesn't know why she's so sure.
