Chapter Ninety-Four: Hiding from You
Xianwang's reputation outside is not good, but under the care of a capable housekeeper and the management of Xuanyuan Yichen's unexpectedly high-pressure policy, it is still very orderly and orderly. The efficiency of the people in the palace is already very high, especially after knowing that the maid who gave the order is Xiao Yue, and the princess sitting behind her is clearly the princess who only made a splash yesterday, the efficiency is even faster.
Soon, on the stone table in the pavilion, there was a lot of tea and snacks, which were cooked, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
I remember that in the past, Liu Qingyan once asked Xiaoyue to sit down and eat with her, but now, Liu Qingyan will not do this kind of thing again. She knew that she was the princess, and that the princess did have her own privileges, and that she also needed to maintain that so-called distinction between dignity and inferiority. There is no need to lower your status, and there is no need to force Xiaoyue.
Eating snacks unhurriedly, it was suddenly late at night. Liu Qingyan drank the last sip of tea in the cup, but he still didn't seem to have any intention of getting up and leaving. It seems that the more late the night like this, the more attractive it is to her, and the more she wants to stay here and continue to enjoy the night view.
However, Xiao Yue, who was standing behind her and serving, must not have thought so. If Liu Qingyan could take a look back, he would find that Xiao Yue seemed to be in a hurry. I didn't say it just now, I just wanted to wait for Liu Qingyan to finish eating. Now seeing that she had finished eating but still refused to leave, Xiao Yue had to say respectfully: "Princess, it's late at night, why don't you go back to the room first." ”
Liu Qingyan turned around, looked at her, and then looked at the moonlight outside the gazebo, it was indeed very late, and it should be almost possible to go back. She thought and stood up.
Xiao Yue suddenly felt as if she had been pardoned, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, although she didn't do it obviously, she still couldn't escape Liu Qingyan's detection. Liu Qingyan didn't say anything, just walked out of the pavilion and walked back along the road he came.
When I returned to Xianting, I hadn't entered yet, but I saw that the room of Xuanyuan Yichen was still dark, and there was no Linglong figure on the first and fifteenth days of the junior high school. Xiao Yue was naturally very concerned about them, and said casually: "Princess, it seems that the prince is still in the bamboo forest and has not returned." ”
Liu Qingyan didn't seem to hear it, and she didn't make a sound, she walked by herself, and came to the door of her room, when Xiao Yue stepped forward to open the door, she suddenly asked: "Does the prince often spend the night in the bamboo forest?" ”
Xiao Yue's heart moved, and inexplicably intuition that Liu Qingyan should want to ask, "Does the prince often spend the night in the idle court?" But the answer is actually the same, Xiao Yue replied: "Very little." ”
The bamboo forest is one of the most mysterious, dangerous and quiet places, and Xuanyuan Yichen likes it, but after all, it is more suitable for rest than overnight, so there is basically none. As for Xianting, before Liu Qingyan came here, Xuanyuan Yichen had always not allowed any idle people to wait for a step in, in fact, he himself was the same. As the legend goes, he didn't even spend much time in the entire palace, most of the time, of course, in those flower streets and willow alleys.
On the contrary, since Liu Qingyan came, Xuanyuan Yichen has spent more and more time in the palace, and the time spent overnight in the idle court has been much more than in the past, although it is still not a lot. It's only because Xuanyuan Yichen still needs to maintain his terrible reputation so far to save his life. Even if it's already in jeopardy, it's better than nothing.
Serving Liu Qingyan and falling asleep, and making sure that the door, especially the window, had been closed, Xiao Yue was a little relieved. She walked out of the courtyard and instructed the guards around her to guard the courtyard carefully, until she was sure that even the slightest movement inside, whether it was a door or a window, would immediately attract the attention of so many guards, so as to ensure that there would be no more similar incidents such as the sudden disappearance of the princess, Xiao Yue then rushed in the direction of the bamboo forest.
Entering the bamboo forest, the branches and foliage are luxuriant, almost covering the moonlight in the sky, and you can see a trace of light from the depths of the bamboo forest more clearly. Xiao Yue was sure that that was where the Qingyan Pavilion and the Qingyan Pavilion were located, the closer they were to there, the brighter the light in front of them became, and later, they could already see clearly the figures of the first and fifteenth years of junior high school and Linglong standing outside. She didn't guess wrong, the prince was really here with them.
The people in the small building heard the movement and all looked over this way. Xuanyuan Yichen ran out directly, and the book of poetry he was holding in his hand didn't even have time to put it down. As soon as he saw that it was Xiao Yue, his eyes immediately showed a lot of loss, but he still asked hopefully: "Xiao Yue, why are you here, did the princess ask you to come to me?" "Xiao Yue, as Liu Qingyan's personal ring, generally speaking, it is indeed impossible for a person to leave without permission, Xuanyuan Yichen has this conjecture, which is also very reasonable.
It's a pity that Xiao Yue can't help but disappoint him, "The princess has already fallen asleep, but the princess asked where the princess went, so Xiao Yue took the initiative to find it." "She is not lying, the princess did ask the prince, but she definitely did not care so much as Xiao Yue's words implied.
However, how could Xuanyuan Yichen not understand, he muttered a sentence in his mouth, his voice was very soft, but the four of them could understand it, what he said was: "It seems that she is still angry with me." "I can understand it, but I can't understand it, everyone knows that the princess is angry with the prince, but what is she angry about, is it just because of the words that have been said more than once?
Sensing that the eyes of the four people were all staring at themselves tightly, although they had always been centered on themselves, Xuanyuan Yichen just didn't want them to look at him like this today, so he asked Xiao Yue in detail about what Liu Qingyan had done and said since he left, but he had eaten well and slept well.
Xuanyuan Yichen's concern for Liu Qingyan has long been well known to the three of them. Even if Linglong was locked up for three months, she was only able to come out today, but she had already inquired from Xiaoyue and knew everything she could know. Although she has a bottom in her heart, seeing with her own eyes that the prince cares so much about Liu Qingyan still makes her feel very uncomfortable, and she is also full of more and more hatred for Liu Qingyan, but she is very good at hiding it, and her face is not exposed at all.
When Xiao Yue came here, she expected that Xuanyuan Yichen would definitely ask her about Liu Qingyan, and she didn't hide everything. Until Xiao Yue had nothing to answer, Xuanyuan Yichen knew that Liu Qingyan was also avoiding him and had nothing to ask, so he said, "Xiao Yue, go back to the princess quickly." If she asks me again, you can say ...... You just say I'm in the bamboo forest, and she can come over at any time. If she really ever asked about herself again.
Xiao Yue agreed, and looked at the first and fifteenth years of junior high school, especially the three of Linglong, there was no need to say anything, but the three of them understood the meaning revealed in her eyes: take good care of the prince. The three of them nodded silently, and Xiao Yue said goodbye and rushed out of the bamboo forest again.
Seeing Xiao Yue's figure quickly disappear into the bamboo forest, Xuanyuan Yichen tightened the scroll of poetry in his hand, and when he turned around to go inside, Chu Yi couldn't help it anymore, and finally seized the opportunity to ask: "Lord Wang, do you really want to stay here to rest today?" ”
"yes." Xuanyuan Yichen agreed casually, but one lives in the idle court and the other lives in the bamboo forest, which is not a long distance or a short distance, anyway, it is still in this idle king's mansion, what is so strange.
Unexpectedly got the answer from the prince, Chu Yi magnified his courage and continued to ask: "Prince, what is the princess angry with you for?" In fact, he wanted to ask the prince why he was hiding from the princess and hiding here. However, it is better to think that it should be gradual, and if the prince answers his question, he can continue to ask.
However, the wishful thinking of the first year of junior high school obviously did not play well. Xuanyuan Yichen turned his head sharply and glared at him fiercely, until his open mouth was closed. Xuanyuan Yichen turned around again, walked into the Qingyan Pavilion, and sat on the chair that had been sitting so far that although he had been away for a while, he still had his body temperature on it, and continued to look at the scroll of poems that he had never put down his hand by candlelight.
Outside, Chu Yi looked at Fifteen and Linglong innocently and pitifully, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you two blame me for talking too much?" provoked the prince to glare at him, if this was before, a slap on his head would have been slapped on the fifteenth morning, and Linglong would have sneered again and again. This time, except for the prince, even the two of them are so strange.
Fifteen, who was standing beside him, looked at him with sympathetic and pitiful eyes, not wanting Xuanyuan Yichen in the Qingyan Pavilion to hear it, and told him softly: "Because we also want to know." Linglong nodded along with her.
They are also normal people, they also care about the prince, and they are also curious, and they also want to know what happened between the prince and the princess to suddenly become like this. However, they are still smart ordinary people, and they know that it must be unpleasant to ask such a question, so no matter how much they doubt in their hearts, they will definitely not ask it. It's only the first year of junior high school, so I don't use my brain more, and I just say what I think. Although even if Fifteen and Linglong knew that he would ask, they would definitely not stop him, who would let them want to know. Isn't it better for someone to take the initiative to be the first bird without having to do it themselves.
