Chapter Twenty-Seven: In the Imperial Garden
"Princess, it's time for us to go out." Qing'er reminded Hexuandao, who was still on the side, concentrating on reading.
"Is it so soon? How did I feel about having breakfast for a while. He Xuan muttered, his eyes fixed on the last words of the book.
Qing'er smiled and said, "Princess, when you read the book, you forgot the time. If we don't go, Gongzi Hou will have to wait in a hurry. ”
"Alright, go get a cloak, we'll go now." He Xuan glanced at Qing'er who went to get the cloak with disgust, and then said to Ruolan: "Ruolan, you stay here and help me clean up the books on this table, as well as the shelves." ”
Ruolan looked at the scrolls, nodded immediately, and then leaned down to clean them up.
Qing'er brought the pale pink cloak that He Xuan Su Ri loved, tied it to He Xuan, and then the two walked out one after the other.
He Xuan slowly walked to the imperial garden, only to see a gentle and familiar back.
"Brother Qi Hou, I don't know what happened to ask me to come today?" He Xuan asked slowly.
Qi Hou looked back expectantly and said, "Sister Hexuan, you're finally here." I always wanted to see you on my birthday, but it was a pity that I couldn't invite you to celebrate my birthday with me, so I had to ask you to come here to talk. ”
Yes, one of them is the most favored princess of the Great Zhou, and the other is the proton sent by the Qi State to the Great Zhou. Just a proton, where is he qualified to invite the princess to celebrate his birthday? What's more, even if he invites, he can't just invite and announce one person.
"It's okay, didn't I come, Brother Qi Hou, just have a happy birthday." He Xuan was a little embarrassed.
"I didn't take good care of it before, so Sister Hexuan has been sick for a long time, and I don't know if your body can be cured?" Qi Hou asked with a guilty face.
In the past few days, everyone has to ask about this when they see Hexuan, and Hexuan patiently said: "It's almost good." Dr. Wang said that walking around properly can help me recover soon. ”
"That's good, so I can rest easy." Qi Hou breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were infinitely doting, and he looked at He Xuan with a smile.
He Xuan wiped the hair on his sideburns with his hand a little unnaturally, and changed the topic: "Brother Qi Hou, I don't know if Qi Xiuyi has been okay recently?" Is there any villain who wants to frame her and the six princes? ”
"My sister has been fine lately, and I thank you for your sister's concern. Although my sister has a pure temperament, she is not a dull person. After the last incident, now the six princes are now taken care of by the sister's dowry maid. Those who are not very reliable in the palace have also been replaced by my sister's thoughts. In this way, my sister should be safe for a while. Qi Hou muttered.
"That's good. I guess that Empress Zhao just wanted to use Qi Xiuyi's hand to kill the rather favored Concubine Lian. After all, when Concubine Lian was alive, her father favored this woman with the style of Chu but from a humble background, and even everyone in the harem gradually ignored her. “
He Xuan looked at Qi Hou's puzzled eyes and continued to explain: "Empress Zhao is not an open-minded person, and this Concubine Lian is a person who does not care about control, and it is normal for Empress Zhao to think of a way to kill her. However, for Qi Xiuyi and the six princes, she should not be to the point where she has to be uprooted. ”
"You have a point. My sister said I want to find a chance to thank you for saving your life! Qi Hou smiled even brighter.
He Xuan said lightly: "It's not necessary, the last time we found out that palace maid Yun'er was purely a coincidence, and it was also the clue that you personally found out Brother Qi Hou, and I don't have any credit for it." ”
She looked at Qi Hou's enthusiastic appearance, and had to turn to say the most important reason. "And I don't have too much contact with Qi Xiuyi, so I won't be regarded as a fellow party by Empress Zhao, so it's safer for each of us." He Xuan said slowly, looking at the mountains in the distance.
After a moment of silence, Qi Hou's eyes looked at He Xuan hotly, and his body unconsciously leaned closer, and said, "Sister Hexuan, I... Do you know my heart for you? ”
If it was the twelve-year-old Hexuan, she might not have known. But she is already an abandoned woman who has died once, how can she not understand Qi Hou's intention to treat her? But she didn't take revenge, and she never thought about men and women anymore.
He Xuan's heart tightened, her brain was spinning rapidly, she looked at Qi Hou with innocent and innocent eyes, and said, "Brother Qi Hou, what do you want to say, He Xuan doesn't quite understand." ”
The scorching heat in Qi Hou's eyes and Xuan's face were hot, and finally, Qi Hou smiled and said, "It's nothing, we are still young anyway." ”
What does that mean? Is Qi Hou ready to wait for her, when she grows up?
The two of them were in the imperial garden again, admiring the flowers and chatting. He Xuan's heart has always been very nervous.
He Xuan no longer knows what it should be like to love someone. After all, in the previous life, her love was a complete failure. Qi Hou's eyes just now did make her heart throb, is that love?
He Xuan, who didn't know the answer, was a little ashamed in the face of such a gentle man like jade.
After about two teas, He Xuan excused himself by saying that his body had not yet healed and that he was going back to rest.
Qi Hou said goodbye to her, she wished Qi Hou an unforgettable birthday, and left.
Qing'er whispered to Hexuan: "Princess, slave and maid, look at it, Gongzi Hou loves the princess very much!" ”
"What does the little girl know, don't talk nonsense." He Xuan scolded softly, but his tone was very cold.
"It's a pity, the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless!"
A man, with a mocking voice, came from not far away.
He Xuan chuckled in his heart, and immediately turned his head to see, it was him again!
"Childe Lin, you have always been so elusive, do you like to peep into other people's privacy?" He Xuan looked at the handsome man opposite him with cold eyes and asked.
Zhao Lin was not deterred by Hexuan's power at all, he still smiled so wildly and uninhibitedly, and said: "Hahahaha, the second princess is really wronged." This son just happened to run into the second princess and the son every time, so I can only say that you are too careless. ”
And Xuan is too lazy to talk to this swinger brother, she puts her legs and is about to go.
"I originally thought that the second princess was a stupid woman, and she couldn't even understand Gongzi Hou's mind so clearly. Now it seems that our ice and snow smart second princess is really a grinding little goblin, she has seen through Gongzi's thick heart early in the morning, but she pretends to be ignorant. In this way, this son is probably even more desperate for the princess, right? ”
Does anyone dare to say such a thing about a princess of Da Zhou? He Xuan's eyes were cold, staring at the handsome man in front of him who was pretending to be crazy and stupid.
The more she looked, the more she felt that Zhao Lin was really born with a beautiful skin. It's a pity to give such a loser such a look! So the corners of Hexuan's mouth slanted and sneered.
As if he hadn't seen or heard, Zhao Lin continued to muttered to himself: "The second princess looks clear and jade, it turns out that she is a little goblin who will play with other people's hearts in the palm of her hand. It's so much fun! It's so funny! ”
These foul words that belong to the gangsters in the market, He Xuan finally couldn't listen to them anymore, and scolded: "Presumptuous, Gongzi Lin is also the nephew of Empress Zhao, please look at your aunt's face and put your mouth clean." ”
"Do you think my mouth is not clean?" Zhao Lin stared at He Xuan with wide eyes this time, as if he was angry.
He Xuan was not afraid, and stared back at the bewitching man with cold eyes.
Zhao Lin stepped forward with a brisk step, quickly kissed He Xuan's snow-white cheek, and then stepped back, and said with a wicked smile: "This should be regarded as a return gift for the princess who slapped me last time." Haha, does the princess also think that her face is not clean now? ”
In broad daylight, someone dares to flirt with the princess?
Qing'er, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately protected Hexuan in front of her, silently handed over a handkerchief, and asked Hexuan to wipe her face.
However, there is no way to punish Zhao Lin, if this matter is really big, with a person like Zhao Lin who does not act according to common sense, he may not say anything in front of the emperor.
Qing'er scolded loudly: "Gongzilin, you are also handsome in a million, but it's a pity that the slave maid looks at you wearing red and green, you are simply a sissy with very bad taste!" Still want to be thin on our princess here? Childe doesn't look in the mirror before you come. ”
Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows, squinting his eyes and glaring at the little palace maid who scolded her sissy. Qing'er was a little hairy by him, and she also closed her mouth and stopped talking.
He Xuan was also very angry, wiped his cheeks, and said coldly: "I really don't know what to say!" Zhao Lin, if you have kung fu, you might as well take care of your cousin Tianwei, even if you want to marry, she will marry the proton of Chu State first! ”
"Really?" Zhao Lin had a playful expression on his face, staring intently at He Xuan, and said with a smile: "What does this have to do with me?" My cousin will marry whoever she wants. Well, you're a funny girl, and you're not the same as the vulgar fans I've seen out there. ”
Zhao Lin smiled and waved his sleeves, and turned around and left in great stride.
He Xuan stood in place, so angry that he almost tore the handkerchief, how could he still meet such an uneducated person in this harem! At last she threw her handkerchief on the ground and stamped her feet in the Imperial Garden.
Qing'er cautiously followed behind He Xuan, not daring to say a word.
She really didn't have the heart to deal with this fifteen-year-old hairy boy anymore, but this Zhao Lin was really too much! Thinking of this, she pulled off a bunch of green leaves in her hand and watched them fall into the dirt.
"Has the second princess always been so uncaring for flowers and plants?" A very familiar voice came into Hexuan's ears like an earth-shattering sound.
