Xiao Yuanyuan straightened up with some curiosity, looked at the familiar faces of the people walking over from the opposite side, couldn't help but search around in his mind, and suddenly his face was happy, and he happily greeted the other party.

"Zhong Gongzi, it turned out to be you."

After staying in the house for so long, she finally saw a familiar outsider, the surprise on her face was obvious, her voice was several times higher than usual, and her steps were much faster.

"It's me, Miss Xiao hasn't seen you for a long time."

Zhongli had already guessed Xiao Yuanyuan's identity before, but Zhao Yiyan hid people too tightly, and the things in the middle were more troublesome, so she left this matter behind, and now that she thought about it again, she suddenly felt that this world was really small, and it was really a coincidence.

"Are you here to see me? How did you know I was here? Can you help me out if you can? I don't want to be in this ...... at all."

Before she finished speaking, she heard the old housekeeper behind Zhongli clenching his fist and putting it to his lips and coughing dryly, she couldn't help but cough dryly, smiled at Zhongli a little dryly, and shook her head helplessly.

"Well, nothing. It's good here, I'm living well here. ”

It's just that anyone can see the smirk on his face, Zhongli couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, shook his head at her with a smile, and looked at the courtyard inside her.

"It's inconvenient, why don't you take us in now?"

Go in and have a look?

Xiao Yuanyuan blinked, then nodded busily, nodded like pounding garlic, and nodded with a quick smile.

"Convenient! Convenient! Zhong Gongzi, come in and sit down! In the past, we didn't have anyone here, and I was so lonely here. ”

Zhongli didn't answer, but walked in with a smile on his face.

As for what men and women are seven years old, they are directly forgotten by him, after all, in her subconscious, she has always felt that she is still a girl.

Rumo, who had been following her all the time, looked at the old housekeeper's eyes, which were no longer too good-looking, and reached out and pulled the hem of Zhongli's clothes with some embarrassment, and gave a look at the other party, Zhongli was stunned for a moment at first, and when he turned around, he immediately understood, laughed busily, and shook his head at Xiao Yuanyuan.

"It's just a joke with Miss Xiao. Why don't we go out and sit down? ”

Sitting outside with someone guarding over you shouldn't be a problem, right?

He couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at the old butler who had been following them and trying to dilute his presence, and when he saw the other party smile, bow his back at her, and nod with a smile.

"The second son wants this, of course he can. Miss Xiao, the old slave sees that the sky is good today, why don't you and the second son eat outside? ”

Second son?

Isn't it Zhong Gongzi? Why did you become the second son?

But she didn't ask. After all, the most important thing now is to be able to walk out of this courtyard today, which is already a great gift for her.

"Young Master Zhong, why are you in the palace? And, can you take me out? Do you know who I am? ”

And she is a woman given by the emperor to King Qingyang, even if she is not a princess, she can't have anything to do with other people.

"Of course I do! When the emperor gave it to the princess of Qingyang, it was a great joy in the border city. It's just that I didn't expect that Miss Xiao couldn't get married for so long after she came here, so I'll say I'm sorry to you on behalf of my eldest brother! ”

Eldest brother?

Xiao Yuanyuan couldn't help but look at Zhongli, his eyes wide.

"Zhong Gongzi, are you talking about ......"

Zhongli nodded with a smile, glanced at the old butler behind him, like a fox kidnapping a little sheep, and nodded.

"Yes! I am the sworn brother of King Qingyang, so the old housekeeper just called me the second son. But I should also call Miss Xiao sister-in-law! ”

Xiao Yuanyuan's face turned white directly, since she came here, she hadn't seen Zhao Yiyan.

can listen from everyone's words, Zhao Yiyan is definitely the kind of man with a face full of flesh and very vulgar words and demeanors, otherwise why don't you let yourself go, a charming woman, and be with the rotten men in the barracks all day long?

Coupled with what her maid heard from the people in the house, Zhao Yiyan's previous heroic deeds of murder, she almost fainted directly.

She now regrets that she did not ask for her father's consent in the first place, and asked His Majesty to revoke the marriage contract between them.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his heart, and Xiao Yuanyuan immediately shook his head and waved his hand and smiled at Zhongli with difficulty.

"After all, we haven't gotten married yet, let's call me Yuan Yuan, no, let's call me Miss Xiao!"

She was still smiling, Zhongli could see the expression on her face clearly, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, asking people to take out her previous pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"The weather is better today, and the eldest brother is out on the expedition, as the younger brother, I have nothing to offer, why don't you let me draw a portrait of Miss Xiao and give it to him? I think the eldest brother was probably too busy to forget about Miss Xiao. ”

Yes?

Xiao Yuanyuan blinked, wanting to shake his head and refuse, but thinking that Zhao Yiyan was indeed his future husband, he couldn't help but pull his little face down sadly.

It's just that when the little guy brought Zhongli's pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xiao Yuanyuan looked at the painting on the top, and couldn't help but reach out and cover his lips and exclaimed.

"Who is this?"

With a tall nose, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, hair coiled on the top of his head, and a handsome face carved with a knife and axe, his face was expressionless, but he couldn't hide his handsomeness at all.

Zhongli couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips and cast a look at the old butler before looking at her in surprise.

"This is my eldest brother, haven't you seen Miss Xiao? It's just a pity, now that my eldest brother is not here, otherwise I can still draw a picture of Miss Xiao and my eldest brother together, it must be the bright eyes of a handsome man and a woman, like an enlarged version of the golden boy and jade girl. ”

Xiao Yuanyuan retracted his mind from the painting, and suddenly heard Zhongli say this again, his cheeks immediately blushed, his eyes fluttered at Zhongli, he bit his lip lightly, pursed his lips and smiled at her.

"That, I'm far from being as good as Zhong Gongzi said. It's just that King Qingyang doesn't seem to be as fierce and vicious as the legends outside! ”

It looks cold, but it's so good-looking!

Only then did Zhongli put his heart in his stomach.

The reason why she let Xiao Yuanyuan see Zhao Yiyan's portrait is because men chase women in the compartment mountain, and women chase men in the compartment yarn, as long as Xiao Yuanyuan takes the initiative, Zhao Yiyan is still afraid that he will not be able to take it down?

It's impossible!

"Yes! The eldest brother has always been a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. I fled here with my younger siblings, and if it hadn't been for my eldest brother stepping forward, we might have frozen to death and starved to death! ”

Saying that, Zhongli carefully described the first time he and Zhao Yiyan met, and even exaggerated the fact that Zhao Yiyan appeared in his bun shop to get rid of the bullies before, perfectly portraying a cold-hearted hero image in Xiao Yuanyuan's heart.

This is not good, Zhong Li then talked about how Zhao Yiyan escorted the people away and repelled the enemy's attack under the star madness without food and grass, not to mention Xiao Yuanyuan, even the old housekeeper who had almost experienced many wars couldn't help but be speechless.

At that time, was it really so dangerous?

He knew, but Xiao Yuanyuan didn't know.

She grew up in a deep boudoir, and even if she went out, she just went to the temple with her mother and grandmother to worship a Buddha, when did she come into contact with this?

So, by the time Zhongli finished speaking, she had already reached out to cover her mouth and wept silently, and the crystal tears fell on her clothes like strings, slowly spreading in them.

"King Qingyang...... It's tough! ”

Zhongli finally breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged a look with the old butler behind him, and exhaled a heavy breath.

Not only is King Qingyang difficult, but he is also so difficult, there is wood?

Just these words, how many brain cells have killed her?

"Who's to say it isn't? And I'm not afraid of Miss Xiao's jokes. I think the reason why the eldest brother doesn't want to marry Miss Xiao is entirely because he is worried that he will delay Miss Xiao's happiness. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yuanyuan was almost crying, Zhongli continued another wave of offensive.

Xiao Yuanyuan sniffed, his big eyes teary-eyed as he looked at Zhongli, his eyes full of doubts and curiosity.

"You...... Belch...... Why do you say that? ”

Zhongli nodded solemnly.

"Of course, Miss Xiao is so beautiful, the eldest brother will definitely not have any opinions because of this, and compared to the people in the border city, Miss Xiao is from a big family and is better in terms of upbringing. The reason why he is so reluctant to meet Miss Xiao is probably because he feels that he has been on the battlefield all day, and if something happens at that time, Miss Xiao's future may not be very good! ”

Xiao Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Zhongli was talking about, and couldn't help biting his lip, clenching his fingers, and pursing his lips to look at her.

"Really, is that so?"

Zhongli looked at those innocent eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty and self-blame in his heart, isn't it a bit too much to say this?

But when he thought of Zhao Yiyan's state at this time, he strengthened his mind.

Even if Zhao Yiyan doesn't like Xiao Yuanyuan now, when Xiao Yuanyuan really becomes his wife, he thinks he will definitely be responsible.

Therefore, Zhongli nodded with the other party without blushing and panting.

"Yes! That's true. ”

In order to pull an alliance for himself, Zhongli immediately turned his head to look at the old butler behind him, and asked with a smile.

"Uncle Butler, huh? You should also know the temperament of the eldest brother, it must be like this, right? ”

The old butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded gently.

"Yes, of course. The prince is usually like this, he seems to be cold and reluctant to speak, but in his heart he has always liked to think about others. ”

It's just that, after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but reach out and wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
