The day was just dawning, the winter was bitterly cold, the days were short and the nights were long, people were up late, and this mansion was just a few hard-working subordinates who got up early to get busy.

Yi Yao was familiar with the way in the mansion, and soon came to a luxurious house.

Listening closely, there was no movement in the room.

"This guy, don't you know who you are, so lazy." Yi Yao pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, opened the door and flashed into the room.

"Who?"

The people in the room were quite sensitive, and when they noticed the coming, they sat up from the bed and shouted vigilantly.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has woken up, don't you have to go to the palace today?" Yi Yao sat down on a chair a few steps away from the bed.

Through the hazy gauze tent, Ximen Che looked at the figure outside, and his gestures were full of nobility, as if it was Lin Xin'er, and it seemed to be a woman who had been raised by a powerful family, making it impossible for people to connect with the chaotic people in the rivers and lakes.

"Yiyao!" Simon Che naturally recognized the person, opened the gauze tent, and got up and went to the ground.

Yi Yao glanced at Ximen Che, and by the way, she also swept his bed.

The bed was neat, and Simon Che was dressed neatly, but he just pressed out some folds while lying down.

It turns out that Simon got up early or didn't he sleep all night?

"Why are you here? Did Lin Xin'er ask you to come? Simonche's voice was a little hoarse, and his face was tired.

This made Yi Yao sure that Ximen Che really didn't sleep all night.

A pampered prince is going to be an emperor again, what else is there that keeps him awake?

Although Yi Yao thought so in her heart, looking at Ximen Che's haggard appearance, her heart was inexplicably filled with a sour taste.

"Yiyao?" Seeing that Yi Yao didn't answer, Ximen Che saw that his eyes fell on his body, and when he looked at it, he was bumping into Yi Yao's eyes.

It was a pair of eyes that would make his heart beat, how many times had he been in a mood because of these eyes, and there was the kind of response to him in these eyes that could not be seen from the real Lin Xin'er's eyes, as if it could penetrate to the bottom of his heart.

Yi Yao was awakened by Ximen Che's shout, and her eyes blinked and lowered, "It's not Xin'er, I'm here myself, hiding in His Royal Highness the Prince's mansion for a while, is it okay?" ”

As if he didn't hear Yi Yao's words, Ximen Che walked up to her, lowered his head, stared carefully at the woman sitting on the chair, leaned down slightly, and put his hands on the armrests of the chair, as if encircling Yi Yao, so that she had nowhere to escape.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Yi Yao was taken aback by Simon Che's actions, hurriedly stood up, and pushed Simon Che's arm with both hands.

The hand didn't push, and his head almost touched the tip of Simon's nose.

Yi Yao was flustered and hurriedly sat back in her chair, even if she could hide it again, two blushes flew up on her cheeks.

She was no stranger to Simonche, she had hugged and kissed, but the heat on her face was hidden in the human skin mask on her face, and she had never shown it so nakedly as now.

It was the familiar sound of rapid breathing, and Simon Che, who had hugged and kissed Yi Yao, felt it.

This kind of voice never came out of Lin Xin'er's mouth, and it was what he had been looking for.

"It's you, it's you who has been pretending to be Lin Xin'er, and you're the one who stayed in Jinhuayuan for her, right?" Although it was a questioning statement, Simon Che said it in the affirmative.

The familiarity that he had felt from Yi Yao again and again was not an illusion of his heart, it was really Yi Yao. He should have thought that Yi Yao was the closest person to Lin Xin'er, who else would there be besides her to replace Lin Xin'er?

"It's me."

Since Ximen Che said so surely, Yi Yao didn't intend to deny it, sitting on the chair and paying attention to Ximen Che vigilantly.

This prince is pampered, how can he be willing to be deceived?

It seems that she picked and chose to come to the Prince's Mansion to hide, and she shouldn't provoke Ximen Che again.

"It's really you!" Simon Che suppressed his excitement and said in a deep voice.

Thinking about the secret compartment where he worked with her before, hiding on the roof of the Taishi's Mansion together, they had already been released from together, but unfortunately he was too dull to find out earlier.

He is so dull that he doesn't even realize that the people he cares about are around, how can he be an emperor who dominates the world, and how can he face those ministers with countless ghosts?

Thinking about it like this, the joy that had just risen in Simon Che turned to melancholy.

Release the hand that is stroking the armrest and straighten your waist.

"Your Highness?" Yi Yao couldn't help but exclaim softly.

"You are also a capable woman, don't you also look down on Prince Ben?" Simon Che was very disappointed.

Before, although he knew that some ministers looked down on him, he kept thinking that as long as he became the emperor, those people would no longer dare to underestimate him, and all of them would surrender to him, but after the awakening in the Showa Palace, he now suddenly understood that even if he sat on the dragon throne, the ministers valued King Xuan, and without King Xuan's uncle, he would despise him, and might even knock him off the court.

He is not even as good as his father, and his father has thought of the Zen throne, does he have the patience to succeed to the throne?

Although he also read a lot of books, he only found those books on statecraft boring and boring, never taken to heart, and of course most of them he could not understand.

The queen mother gave him an incomparably noble background and left him a king to rely on, but she did not give him a mind that was competent for the throne.

Unknowingly, Simon Che counted his shortcomings on his mother's head.

For this, he was distressed all night, entangled all night, meditated all night, and for the first time considered his future very seriously and carefully.

Yi Yao was stunned, she didn't expect Ximen Che to ask such a question.

Did she ever look down on him?

It seems that there has been.

Once, she was annoyed that he refused to marry and let the dog deal with Lin Xin'er, but after facing him directly, she felt his warmth, she only sympathized with his situation, attracted by his strong and sincere affection, and knew that the person in his eyes was not her, but she couldn't stop it and put a mark on her heart.

Yi Yao understood why she was so resistant and hated to be suspected by Ximen Jingxuan of being a royal person.

"No, I don't look down on the prince, I just think that the prince is more pure and direct." Yi Yao stood up and said.

"Purely direct? Does that mean that Prince Ben is stupid and has no brains? Simon Che snorted self-deprecatingly.

This woman is so elegant when she scolds people.

"No, it's not." Yi Yao knew that Ximen Che had misunderstood what she meant, and explained, "Pure and direct, without so many crooked brains, simply being a person and doing things, and being easy by yourself, isn't that good?" People live for themselves, why should they be dragged down by burdens? ”

"You really don't look down on me?"

Recognizing the former person, and hearing her words, Simon Che seemed to get the comfort he wanted.
