As usual, the prince asked after handling official business, "Did she sleep?" When he learned that Xue Ke was still reading the schedules of the people in the East Palace in the daily routine newspaper, he couldn't help but be a little angry, and raised his feet and walked out of the study. The study is not far from the Baopu Courtyard, but it is only a hundred steps away. Xing'er trotted all the way to follow the prince, but fortunately it was sixteen today, and the moonlight was like silver on the path, and there was no lantern lighting.

The guard prince of the Baopu Courtyard has a number in his heart, the outside is loose and the inside is tight, except for the subordinates who clean up the miscellaneous servants, there are only two maids and Mama Zhang on the surface, only the lights on the first floor are left on duty, but the candlelight on the second floor is still bright. The candle flame reflected her shadow on the window, slender and long, the wind blew, the candle flame shook gently, and the slender shadow was like a willow branch, and the prince felt that his thoughts were a little confused by the shadow, and stood in front of the building for a long time, remembering that he had come to warn her.

The prince raised his chin slightly, and Xing'er stepped forward and shouted: "Mama! ”

Mama Zhang came down quickly, and was a little surprised to see the prince.

"Don't alarm the others, just take a look, you go and ask the girl if it's convenient to say a few words?"

When Xue Ke went downstairs, the prince stood in the courtyard, he was already slender, lined with moonlight, and he looked more and more bee-waisted. Xue Ke called His Highness, and the crown prince turned around.

"The girl hasn't slept yet?"

Xue Ke was noncommittal.

"The moonlight is very good tonight, why don't you take a walk?"

Xue Ke looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and he nodded: "Very good, speaking of which, I still don't know what the East Palace looks like?" ”

The prince was a little surprised, as if to justify: "I mainly think that this Baopu Courtyard is simple and safe, so I will tell you a few words, and if you are annoyed, let Ah Liu accompany you for a walk." ”

Xue Ke took the cloak handed by Mama Zhang, tightened his belt and said, "Your Highness is very worried, and I myself am also a person who doesn't like to move around. ”

The prince was silent for a long time. Of course he knew that Xue Ke was not a person who didn't like to move around, when he was young, he went to Xue Mansion, and nine times out of ten times, the little girl would pull his sleeve: "Brother Prince, you take me out to play, I am in Xue Mansion every day, and I am dying." When he was still hesitating, the little girl was already looking at him with pink lips and watery eyes, as if tears would burst out of his eyes as soon as he refused. Now she is only in this small hug park, but she says that she doesn't like to move around?

The two of them walked quietly in the path, and the prince only whispered to him around the corner or on the steps.

"Bypass this water, there is a pavilion in front of you, do you want to go and sit down?"

Xue Ke followed as he said. The pavilion was originally standing on the water, connected to water on three sides, and facing a promenade on one side. The palace lanterns are hung on the corridor every other section, and the ears of the palace lanterns are slightly shaken by the summer wind, and the beads falling below gently strike each other to make a slight pearl sound.

A few water lilies in the water have not yet opened, but the wind blows through them and there are already a few wisps of fragrance.

"This"

"You"

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, and then suddenly spoke at the same time, and they couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Xue Ke smiled, and his face was a little less cold and a little more soft. The prince thought to himself that it would be good to smile a lot like this.

"I want to say that the scenery of this area is good, I don't know what His Highness wants to say?"

"Oh!" The prince reacted: "I want to ask you if you are cold?" ”

Xue Ke shook his head and stared intently at the water. Suddenly, there was a plopping sound on the water, and Xue Ke was subconsciously startled. The prince raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Don't move!" The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the sound of leaves was heard.

Xing'er trotted up and replied: "Hui Yuye, it may be that a big fish jumped out of the water." Xing'er lowered her head, a little wanted to look up to see if the prince would be embarrassed, think about it or be honest, and couldn't help but glance at it, this glance doesn't matter, Xing'er looked at his prince's hand tightly grasping Xue Ke's hand.

The two didn't react, but they followed Xing'er's gaze and found that the two were entangled, and they couldn't help but quickly let go. The prince coughed lightly: "It turned out to be a fish, you weren't scared, right?" ”

"I made a fuss and made His Highness laugh." Xue Ke paused: "It's late at night, Your Highness will have an early dynasty tomorrow, so it's better to go back and rest early." ”

"It's okay, I'll leave you alone."

When the prince walked back from the Baopu Courtyard, he remembered that he was going to warn her not to sleep late, and instructed Xing'er: "If you go to the Baopu Courtyard again, you will say that the internal affairs of the East Palace are complicated, let the girl be careful about her body, and you must not lose a big one because of a small one." ”

Xing'er responded, and as soon as she turned around, the prince stopped again and said, "You are frizzy, you may not be able to say it clearly, or I will talk to her tomorrow." ”

Xing'er pursed her lips in her heart, and her mouth responded crisply: "What the master said is true." ”
