The crown prince Pei Yuanxiu stood at the door with a faint smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" I was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Slave maid to meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

He walked in slowly, until he walked in front of me, his snow-white clothes fluttering gently in front of him, he looked down at me, and said gently, "Get up." ”

"Your Highness."

I didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that I would be seen as if I had just learned how to write, but he smiled faintly and walked to the bookshelf to read as if nothing had happened.

There was silence in the inner pavilion, as if every time he came here in the past, it was as quiet as water, and I still bowed my head to follow him, quietly waiting. At this time, Pei Yuanxiu said casually while reading: "On the fifth day of the new year, why aren't you here?" ”

The fifth day of the first month? I was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled that I should have been on duty on the fifth day of the first month, but Pei Yuanhao came to the court to find someone that day, so we were all left there, and there was no one on duty in the Inner Hidden Pavilion, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know, could it be that he came to the Inner Hidden Pavilion to borrow books that day?

I hurriedly said: "On the fifth day of the new year, the Third Highness went to the court to have some business, and the slaves and maids were all left behind. ”

"Oh," Pei Yuanxiu raised his eyebrows, as if he remembered something: "By the way, I heard that he went to find a palace maid who had been pampered that day, did he find it?" ”

"Found it."

"Who is it?"

"It's a female official, called Yao Yingxue."

"Yao Yingxue......" The prince silently read the name, looked down at me again, suddenly smiled, and said, "It's okay, I thought he took you away." ”

"Huh?" My heart jumped violently, I raised my head to look at him, but I saw Pei Yuanxiu looking at me with a smile, the sun shone on his fair and handsome face, showing a faint luster, warm as jade, and his gaze was so gentle, even in such a slightly cold weather, it felt like a spring breeze.

I blushed at the sight of such a gaze and lowered my head.

Looking at me, he smiled again, turned his head and continued to look at the books on the shelves, no longer speaking, only the sound of me and his breathing whispering in the air.

However, after a long time, he just watched, and did not take a single book from the shelf.

I thought about it for a while, and said softly: "Your Highness, I don't know which book Your Highness is looking for, so the slave maid will help Your Highness find it." ”

"I've found it, it's just-"

"Just what?"

He smiled slightly, turned his head to look at me, "I don't know if you've finished reading." ”

I was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and hurriedly presented the "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" in my hand with both hands, and said: "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid don't know that this is the book that His Highness is looking for, and the slave and maid—"

"What's the hell?" He smiled: "If no one reads the book, it will be a pile of waste paper here, what is the point?" ”

After speaking, he took the book in my hand, flipped through it twice at random, and looked up at me again: "Yue Qingying." ”

"What else does Your Highness have to say?"

“……”

He paused, his expression a little cramped, and I looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to say to me.
