Chapter XXVI: Your Highness

Two energetic young people, met for the first time under the moonlight outside the forest, one smiled like a spring breeze, and the other looked at the sea of stars, which is a very important thing for the Dajin Dynasty that is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and it is important enough to be recorded in history by future generations.

Unfortunately, there were only five people who were lucky enough to witness this scene.

And no one would have thought that one of the teenagers who was here that day also concealed his true identity.

The name Ah Long is very ordinary, especially in this handsome young man, even if he is not facing Xia Sheng now, it is easy for people to see that it is a fake name made up on the spot.

But the most surprising thing is that even so, the young man's eyes are full of sincere smiles, and they are bright and fair.

As if he wanted to tell Xia Sheng that this deception was really unwilling, but there was some kind of unspeakable suffering, please don't blame it.

Xia Sheng's face didn't show joy or anger, but he replied very calmly: "Fortunately." ”

At the same time, a fiery figure suddenly jumped out of the carriage and hugged Ah Long's arm, looking extremely intimate.

"Brother Aaron, do you remember me? I'm Shui'er, the personal maid next to Miss!"

Ah Long was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "Shui'er?"

Shui Er smiled and nodded: "It seems that Brother Ah Long still remembers me!" As he spoke, Shui Er turned around and shouted, "Miss, Miss!

When the words fell, Ye Xiao'e also stepped down from the carriage, with a trace of panic in her eyes, and for a while, she didn't know how to respond.

It was Ah Long who reacted first, and said with a smile: "Xiao'e, why did you come here?"

Shui Er replied first: "Miss was stuffy at home, so she took us to White Horse Town to relax, today I came out to swim in the lake, probably I got lost vigorously, I came here after turning around, but Brother Aaron, why are you here?"

Tam Dali's eyes immediately widened, his face full of innocence, and he thought to himself, what does this matter to me?

Ah Long didn't mean to hide it, but said truthfully: "My subordinates heard that there are king-level spirit beasts in this forgotten forest, so I followed to try my luck." ”

"King-level spirit beast?" Shui Er covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes full of incredulity.

Ah Long smiled: "I don't know if it's true, anyway, I have nothing to do recently, so I might as well come out and take a walk." ”

Hearing this, Xia Sheng's heart also trembled, could it be that the tree species he planted ten thousand years ago had grown into a king-level spirit tree?

Thinking of this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just right, we're also about to go in and have a look, so let's go along." ”

Who would have thought that as soon as Xia Sheng's words came out, they immediately made Ah Long and Shui'er's faces stiffen slightly.

But Ah Long quickly reacted, and said repeatedly: "That's great, I haven't seen Xiao'e and Shui'er for many days, it's my honor to be with you tonight." ”

At the same time, someone who had been standing behind Ah Long also stood up and echoed: "Yes, yes, it's more lively when there are more people." ”

Xia Sheng quietly looked at the middle-aged man in his thirties, and was a little surprised in his heart.

The man had a full beard, was dressed in a robe and a thick gold necklace around his neck, and his ten fingers were covered with gold rings encrusted with various gemstones.

Looks like a living nouveau riche.

In other words, if you want to see a person's temperament and temper, the best way is to look at his friends and his circle.

However, the temperament of this middle-aged man and Ah Long is completely different, like the difference between cloud and mud.

It's hard to believe that these two people would be on the same occasion unless they saw it with their own eyes.

But what Xia Sheng cared about the most was not this glittering nouveau riche, but the woman who had been standing behind Ah Long and hiding her face in the night.

Xia Sheng couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly, but at least he could see that this woman was wearing a neat set of black clothes and a shallow veil on her head.

She has been standing behind Ah Long with her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered, and her breath has been very secretive, like a shadow of Ah Long, not a living person.

When Xia Sheng observed the two subordinates beside Ah Long, Shui Er also turned his head and looked at his own young lady.

It's as if you're asking for the other person's opinion.

"Miss, what do you see?"

Ye Xiao'e's face was written with hesitation, and she said apologetically to Ah Long: "I'm afraid I will have to ...... with Ah Sheng in this matter Discuss it with Xia Gongzi again. ”

As she spoke, Ye Xiao'e came to Xia Sheng's side and gently pulled the corner of his clothes.

A faint smile flashed at the corner of Xia Sheng's mouth, and he secretly said in his heart: "In this way, it's really interesting." ”

But he said: "Ah, yes, I'm also a little presumptuous, and I ask Brother Long to stay for a while." ”

After that, Xia Sheng and Ye Xiao'e walked slowly to the side, and they didn't know what the two were whispering about.

Seeing the two drifting apart, Ah Long couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What, the eldest lady of the Ye family, if you don't harm those sons in Luoyang, why are you interested in playing a game of pretending to be a maid?"

Shui Er also smiled lightly: "I'm also curious, with such a noble status as His Royal Highness, he dared to leave Luoyang City and come to this poor and remote place with only two people by his side, aren't you worried that the prince will take the opportunity to do something to you?"

Ah Long didn't answer Shui'er's words, but said to himself: "That Xia Sheng is not from your Ye family, and he doesn't even know your identity, but he can make you defend him like this, let me think about it, could it be that the marriage contract that has been rumored in the capital recently is true? He is the fiancΓ© that Ye Shuai chose for you?"

After all, it is still a little shallow, but in a few words, Shui Er was provoked by Ah Long's anger, and said like thunder: "What kind of thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to chew the root of the tongue behind this girl's back! When this girl goes back, you must clean them up!"

Ah Long laughed: "Miss Ye only needs to give an order, and this king will volunteer to do it for you." ”

After saying this, the smile in Ah Long's eyes gradually faded, and then he said: "What I said before was a joke, but if Miss Ye is really willing to walk with this king on behalf of the Shuai Mansion, this king will definitely be grateful." ”

Of course, the peers mentioned here are not literal, let alone forgetting to return to the forest together, but in an attitude and a position.

Although Shui'er's inner city was far less deep than the young man in front of her, she was definitely not stupid, otherwise she would not have used Ye Xiao'e's mouth to refuse Xia Sheng's proposal before.

And she knows very well that at such a time, the best way for her to deal with it is not to say anything.

In the face of Shui'er's silence, Ah Long was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "In this way, Miss Ye has not yet made a decision, and this king does not intend to embarrass Miss Ye, but hopes that Miss Ye can convey my sincerity to Ye Shuai." ”

Shui'er nodded: "It's a gesture." ”

Ah Long held his hand and saluted, and said goodbye: "Since this is the case, then we will take the first step and return to Luoyang in the future, hoping to have the opportunity to talk and laugh with Miss Ye again." ”

Shui'er returned the salute very seriously: "It's an honor." ”

After a pause, Shui Er immediately added: "Today's matter, I hope Your Highness will keep your mouth shut and don't let Brother Rujing know......"
