Chapter 150: The Hidden Scheme
"Little brother, can you buy a hairpin for your sweetheart?" A vendor buying a headdress on the side, squinting at these two, seemed to be an awkward little couple, and couldn't help but shout.
Xuanyuan Xi glanced at the vendor coldly and ignored it, but the vendor seemed to be in high spirits and continued to persuade: "Little brother, this girl needs to be coaxed, you just need to buy some jewelry she likes, and she will be happy to forget all her dissatisfaction." β
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Xi snorted coldly, raised her feet and wanted to leave, Yan Zhuping was obviously very happy to hear it, she secretly glared at Xuanyuan Xi who was puzzled, and ran to the vendor's stall by herself.
Crystal eyes, looking east, looking west, finally, her gaze fixed on a relatively elegant plum hairpin, a long time out of concentration.
When the vendor saw it, he smiled and said, "If the girl likes it, just buy it, right?" β
"I ββ?" Yan Zhuping hesitated, she liked it very much, but she hoped that this hairpin could be given to her by Xuanyuan Xi.
Although Xuanyuan Xi wanted to leave here, but seeing that Yan Zhuping rarely had something he liked, he finally came behind her, pointed with his long fingers, and said in a cold tone: "These, these, all wrap up." β
Then, he threw a silver ingot to the vendor, turned his head and said to Yan Zhuping: "Wait a minute, go back by yourself, I still have important things to deal with, and it is really inconvenient for you to follow." β
After speaking, he didn't need to say anything about Zhuping's reaction, turned around, and left in style.
After Xuanyuan Xi left, the vendor couldn't help but chirp while packing the jewelry: "Little girl, you sweetheart, he is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, don't take it to heart, with the old man's years of experience, he is definitely worth entrusting for life." β
When Yan Zhuping heard this, her originally depressed mood seemed to disappear all of a sudden, she clasped her hands tightly, and said in disbelief: "Uncle, really? β
"Of course, the old man has lived a long time, and it is natural to look at people in the heart, not on the surface." The vendor obviously became more and more excited, "Girl, can't you feel it yourself?" β
"I ββ?" Yan Zhuping hung his head slightly, and said, "Actually, I think so too. β
On the other side, Xuanyuan Xi went out today, in fact, to find the traces of Tuoba Xiu, Yan Zhuping has been following, and he can't bear to say it too seriously.
However, thinking of her safety, he had to find a reason to send her back first.
He couldn't tell what it was like to her, but he was sure of one thing, she was the woman he cared about the most in his heart at the moment, except for the lock in his heart.
"Shout, I didn't expect that under the dirt on this plate, there would be such a delicate face." A sharp and slightly flirtatious voice came into Xuanyuan Xi's ears.
Xuanyuan Xi has always ignored this kind of thing, but today, he seems to be in a good mood, and he is not used to seeing this kind of thing of molesting people's girls.
He walked leisurely towards the source of the sound, it was okay not to look at it, at first glance, his indifferent eyes suddenly softened, but soon, his eyes were transformed into a killing intent that was more terrible than indifference.
Xuanyuan Xi tried hard to suppress the anger that gushed out, and said, "Give you three seconds, get out." β
The voice like a thousand years of ice, as soon as he spoke, the man unconsciously shuddered, and when he turned back and saw Xuanyuan Xi's beautiful face, his legs unconsciously softened.
"Your Highness, the little one will get out of here, get out of here." When the man had finished speaking, a puff of smoke slipped away, and the men who followed him were even more frightened, stumbling, and fled as if they had seen a ghost.
And the people around them, when they saw their reaction, they consciously dispersed.
In an instant, the huge place instantly became quiet, and when I looked away, between heaven and earth, it seemed that only the two of them were left.
The two looked at each other, both silent, and after a long time, the woman was grateful and said: "The little girl is quiet, thank you for the son's rescue." β
"No thanks." Xuanyuan Xi suddenly stretched out his hand and smiled at the woman: "Youyou, since you are homeless now, you are willing to go back to the house with me." β
The woman stretched out her hand, and finally retracted her hand violently, and said with tears in her eyes: "Youyou's status is low, and now, it's so dirty, it's really not worthy of the son's hand to help him." β
As the woman spoke, she quickly knelt in front of Xuanyuan Xi and said, "Youyou is willing to return to the house with the son, be a slave and a maid, and repay the kindness of the son." β
After hearing the woman's words, Xuanyuan Xi frowned unhappily and said, "Youyou, you just need to be yourself." β
"Alright, get up, come with me." The corners of Xuanyuan Xi's lips raised slightly, ignoring the woman's blank gaze, he reached out to take her hand and walked in the direction of the prince's mansion.
At the gate of the Prince's Mansion, when Xuanyuan Xi was holding the shadows, he happened to bump into Yan Zhuping who was returning to the mansion.
When Yan Zhuping saw Xuanyuan Xi, holding a strange woman tenderly with his eyes, his happy eyes instantly became stunned.
Shicai, Xuanyuan Xi said, he has important things to deal with, and it is inconvenient for him to follow? Could it be that his so-called important thing is to personally pick up the unkempt woman in front of him and return home.
The way he looked at her was so gentle, was itβ
She didn't dare to imagine it anymore, so she hooked her lips, barely pulled out a smile, walked up to them leisurely, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xi, who is this girl?" β
Xuanyuan Xi looked down at Yan Zhuping, and explained very happily: "Her name is Youyou, and in the future, she will also live in the Prince's Mansion. β
"Hello sister." The dark voice called obediently.
"Hello, Yuyu." Yan Zhuping smiled slightly, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was smiling very stiffly.
After listening to them and greeting each other, Xuanyuan Xi no longer ignored Yan Zhuping's forced smile, but turned around, took the hand of the ghost, and walked gently towards the house.
"Why, why is this happening?" Yan Zhuping stood outside the door of the mansion, and at this time, the things she received in her hands seemed to have a thousand gold.
At night, the moonlight was bright and the breeze was gentle, Xuanyuan Xi was dressed in a brown robe, standing with his hands behind his back, looking unpredictable, looking up at the rippling water in front of him.
A light footstep slowly walked towards him, but, when he was a few steps away from him, suddenly stopped, his eyes staring at his back without blinking, and his thoughts fluttered.
Just when she was stagnant, another petite figure, but after bowing slightly to her, he took a black cloak and walked towards Xuanyuan Xihuanting.
"Your Highness, it's late at night, and it's easy to catch a cold." The woman whispered softly, padded her feet, and reached out to drape the cloak over his shoulders.
"You're here." Xuanyuan Xi hooked his lips and smiled gently, and then reached out to take Youyou into his arms.
Yan Zhuping looked at this scene, and for a while, she felt that perhaps, from beginning to end, she was the superfluous one.
It's just that if she leaves, she is really unwilling.
Moreover, according to a woman's intuition, she always felt that the ghost was approaching Xuanyuan Xi with some purpose.
She didn't allow it, she didn't allow anyone to hurt Xuanyuan Xi unscrupulously under her nose in the name of love.
Thinking of this, Yan Zhuping staggered over, directly grabbed Xuanyuan Xi's other arm, and said in an affectionate tone: "Brother Xi, I really have a new love, and I forgot my old love." β
The soft tone seemed to blame, but in fact, the coquettish meaning was even stronger, and Xuanyuan Xi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he said Zhuping's abnormal behavior.
In the originally gentle eyes, there was a touch of warmth, but Xuanyuan Xi's expression changed quickly, Yan Zhuping didn't see it, and he didn't even see it.
"Ah Zhu, what a new love, what an old love, don't talk nonsense." Xuanyuan Xi frowned, but his tone was still gentle.
"Oh, Brother Xi, it's not okay for people to make a joke?" Yan Zhuping said, walked around to the middle of them, stretched out his hand, and affectionately took his arm and said: "Sister Youyou, you are so beautiful, you must be from a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, right?" β
Hearing this, there was a tear in his eyes and said: "No matter how beautiful your hometown is, if you don't have a family, then what's the difference between it and purgatory in the world." β
As she spoke, she suddenly lowered her head and sobbed silently, and when she saw it, she felt that she had a ghost in her heart.
It's just that Xuanyuan Xi doesn't think like this, he glanced at Yan Zhuping, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Ah Zhu, if you can't speak, just take care of your mouth." β
"Okay." Yan Zhuping squinted and smiled, not taking Xuanyuan Xi's anger in his eyes at all.
"You-" Xuanyuan Xi was helpless, so he had to sigh and say, "Ah Zhu, you go back to rest first, and I still have something to talk to Youyou." β
"Hmm." Yan Zhuping nodded obediently, and then, he didn't forget to remind him mischievously: "Brother Xi, my sister wrote to say that the queen is back to Phoenix Mountain, why don't we find an opportunity to visit Niangniang?" β
When Xuanyuan Xi heard this, he paused for a moment before he said leisurely: "Okay." β
Yan Zhuping saw Xuanyuan Xi nodding, and couldn't help beckoning happily, "Brother Xi, Sister Youyou, Ah Zhu is gone, go back to rest first, you guys, remember to rest early, don't talk for too long." β
Yan Zhuping blinked happily, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Mingyou: "Sister Youyou, it's easy for girls to stay up late to get old, not to mention, when you look at it, it's not too small." β
In fact, the darkness is very small, and the face is as clear as ink, but in the eyes of the lover, there is Shih Tzu, but in the eyes of the rival in love, there is shit.
"Thank you, sister, for your concern." The smile on the face of the dark shadow has always remained the same, in this way, compared to the bottom, it seems that Yan Zhuping is a little unreasonable.
However, Yan Zhuping doesn't care about these, she only knows now that the best way to fight the enemy is to be stupid and heartless.
Because, in this way, she can see whether the woman is thoughtful and unfathomable, or impetuous.
However, now it seems that she wants to cry bitterly, this woman, is the kind her sister often says, thoughtful, no matter how you treat her, you feel that you are just taking cotton and practicing your hands and feet.
