I saw that Shen Yiqing's handsome and uncast face was floating with an imperceptible crimson.

He cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "The prince has been injured, and he has been recuperating for a while, and this king will take his leave first." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Shen Changge to respond, walked on his slender legs, and strode away.

"Uncle Huang will go slowly, don't send it." Shen Changge sat up from the bed and waved his hand at his back.

When Shen Yiqing had already left the inner room, she withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyes to look at her left foot, which was wrapped like a dumpling, and sighed helplessly.

Just as she was about to lie down and rest, Xue Yan's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, can your subordinates come in?" ”

"Come in."

Soon, Xue Yan walked in, with a look of guilt on his slightly majestic face.

When he came to Shen Changge's face, he suddenly knelt down on one knee with a thud, which really shocked Shen Changge.

"What are you doing here?" She asked blankly.

Xue Yan hung his head and said with self-reproach: "It's all the negligence of his subordinates, he failed to protect His Highness, and his Highness was injured, and I hope His Highness will punish him!" ”

When Shen Changge heard this, he tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, sighed and said, "Bengong's foot is just a sprain, it's not in the way." Besides, this is Hongu himself careless, how can it be blamed on your head? ”

However, her words did not alleviate Xue Yan's self-blame, but made him feel even more guilty.

"Please punish Your Highness!"

Shen Changge raised his hand to support his forehead, and for a while he didn't know whether to rejoice Xue Yan's dedication to his duties, or dare to be annoyed by his lack of flexibility.

After being silent for a while, she said in a deep voice: "Since you want this palace to punish you, then this palace will punish you to clean the yard." You go and tell Xiao Shunzi and let him arrange a job for you. ”

Xue Yan raised his head, and after looking at her in some surprise, he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Will His Highness's punishment of his subordinates be too light?"

When Shen Changge heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "It's the first time I've seen someone say that the punishment of this palace is too light. Alright, you get up and go out to find Xiao Shunzi. ”

Xue Yan still wanted to speak, but seeing that she had already said this, he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

"The subordinate has retired."

Shen Changge waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.

Looking up at Xue Yan's tall and mighty back, she couldn't help but smile secretly.

……

Because of his foot injury, he didn't have to go to Tai Academy, and Shen Changge spent almost all of his time recuperating in the East Palace.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor's medical skills in the palace are very good, her foot injury is almost better, and there is no problem at all to walk around, but she can't run, jump, or do too strenuous exercise.

I have nothing to do today, and I don't want to stay in the East Palace to get moldy, so Shen Changge let him hang out in the palace accompanied by Xue Yan and Xiao Shunzi.

"Your Highness, look at the willow trees over there, how well they grow." Xiao Shunzi pointed to a row of willow trees on the opposite side of the pond and said to Shen Changge.

Shen Changge looked in the direction he was pointing, looked at the slender willow branches fluttering in the wind, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips: "It's beautiful." ”

And as soon as she looked around, she suddenly saw two familiar figures on the other side of the pond, standing under a willow tree.

"Hey, that's Princess Celestia and Lord Regent." Xiao Shunzi also saw the two of them, and said to Shen Changge, "Your Highness, are we going over?" ”

Shen Changge squinted his seductive peach blossom eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "No, there is a distance from us." The eldest princess seems to have something to talk about with the imperial uncle, so the palace will not go to join in the fun. ”

As she spoke, her gaze kept falling on the two on the other side.

I saw Shen Yiqing today, dressed in a crescent white robe, which set off his figure more slender and tall. The long jet-black hair is tied up casually with only a headband, but it is not messy in the idleness, but has a sense of detachment.

A gust of wind blew, blowing the slender willow branches, caressing past him.

He seemed to be a little disliked to be swept away by the willow branch, so he raised his right hand and gently brushed away the mischievous willow branch.

At this moment, Shen Yiqing saw Shen Changge, who was standing on the winding path on the opposite bank.

Even from the pond nearly ten meters wide, he could clearly see the look on her face, which was a kind of interesting inquiry and gossip.

Immediately, Shen Yiqing frowned without a trace, and there was an indescribable emotion spreading in her heart.

It's like being a little annoyed, a little unhappy.

But even he himself doesn't know why he has such emotions.

"Uncle Huang?" Shen Huanting saw that he was looking away fixedly, so she shouted softly.

Immediately, she followed his gaze and also saw Shen Changge on the other side of the pond.

For a moment, a flash of dissatisfaction flashed in Shen Huanting's eyes.

How did you meet the prince?

She finally found an opportunity to talk to Uncle Huang alone, but at the moment, Uncle Huang's mind was obviously not on her.

Suddenly, she couldn't help but guess the relationship between the two again.

Shen Huanting's voice pulled Shen Yiqing's thoughts back.

He withdrew his gaze without a trace, and there was a calm look on his handsome face, as if nothing had happened.

"Celestia Celestia is anything else?"

Shen Huanting looked up at him, and when she met his deep phoenix eyes, the words that came to her mouth suddenly froze, as if a big hand was pinching her neck, making her unable to say a word.

"If the eldest princess has nothing else to do, this king will take his leave first." Shen Yiqing said, turning around and preparing to leave without hesitation.

However, just as he stepped out of his right leg, he suddenly heard Shen Huanting behind him, as if he had made a lot of determination.

"Does Uncle Huang like the crown prince?"

Shen Yiqing's steps stopped suddenly, and she looked back at her in a little surprise: "What does the eldest princess mean by this?" ”

Shen Huanting didn't dare to meet his serious gaze, and her hands hidden under the wide sleeves were clenched even tighter.

After taking a deep breath, she plucked up her courage and said, "I just think that the emperor's attitude towards the prince is very different, and he seems to care about the prince very much." ”

"So, you think this king likes the crown prince?" Shen Yiqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and said slowly, with a hint of speechlessness in her tone.

"If not, how can you explain the special uncle of the emperor to the crown prince?" Shen Huanting raised her head and looked at him with a determined gaze.

Turning around, Shen Yiqing put his hands behind his back, looked at her, and then turned his head to look at the other side of the pond, only to find that there was no trace of Shen Changge there.

A hint of loneliness flashed quickly in his eyes, he retracted his gaze, and said in a serious tone: "The crown prince is the prince, and this king, as the regent, naturally has the responsibility to protect the prince and protect the prince's safety. Besides, you and the crown prince are both descendants of this king, and this king is good to you, shouldn't it be? ”

This is the first time Shen Huanting has heard him say so many words in one breath.

And his words made her unable to refute.
