Following.

Jiang Huaiyin left, and he walked in a hurry.

Before leaving, he specially found Night Blade and Lu Qingyuan, and instructed the two of them to take care of Murong Xi.

The operation made Murong Xi feel flattered.

Sending Jiang Huaiyin away, Murong Xi was about to make up for sleep, but who knew that an uninvited guest came.

Lu Qingyuan knocked on Murong Xi's door with a plate of local desserts.

"Butler Lu?" Murong Xi opened the door, not surprised by Lu Qingyuan's appearance, and greeted him with a smile.

When she said the sentence "Steward Lu", she obviously saw Lu Qingyuan's face stiffen for a moment.

Lu Qingyuan lifted the hem of her skirt, twisted Yingying's waist, and walked into the room.

"The princess came to the palace for the first time, in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Qingyuan personally made some snacks and invited the princess to taste. Also, Qingyuan wanted to ask the princess if there was anything taboo, so that she could tell her subordinates to avoid the princess's taboos. ”

Murong Ji didn't say anything, Lu Qingyuan had already walked into the house and placed the snacks on the table.

Seeing Lu Qingyuan sitting on the chair casually, Murong Xi smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

"Landlord friendship?"

Murong Xi repeated Lu Qingyuan's words meaningfully, walked to Lu Qingyuan's side and sat down, pinched a dark red snack with two fingers, and replied angrily: "The prince has left all the guards and gave me a thousand taels of silver tickets, I thought this was the friendship of the landlord of the prince, but I didn't expect that Steward Lu was the most attentive." ”

"It's—there's a Steward of Laulu."

Murong Ji specially bit the three words of Steward Lu, and every time he said it, he would look at Lu Qingyuan deeply.

Lu Qingyuan's appearance is bright, although he tries his best to hide it, but he always has a smell of wind and dust in his bones that cannot be washed away.

Murong Xi didn't know where she came from, but judging from her gradually blue face, she knew that she had already regarded herself as the mistress of the palace.

To be honest, Murong Xi didn't care about the hostess of the palace, she was just disgusted with Lu Qingyuan's appearance of swearing sovereignty in front of her.

Murong Xi pinched her heart and took a bite in her mouth, savoring it carefully.

As she refused, the smile on her face grew stronger.

The childish desire to win prompted her to speak sarcastically, "Well, it's red bean flavored, it's delicious, but it's a little sweet." I used to have a sweet tooth, but since I got married, he doesn't like sweets, so I eat less - but occasionally when I cook something wrong, I put more sugar in it and use sweetness to cover up the taste. ”

Lu Qingyuan's expression was stunned, like sitting on pins and needles.

"It turns out that the princess doesn't like to eat sweets, so the green mandarin duck will make something light next time."

"No, no, no." Murong Xi hurriedly waved his hand, "Steward Lu didn't hear me clearly, I like it, but the prince doesn't like it." ”

"Qingyuan has written it down." Lu Qingyuan nodded awkwardly, and then smiled: "Although Qingyuan is the first time to meet the princess, there is always a feeling of hating to see each other late. If the princess doesn't dislike it, just call me Qingyuan. ”

In the past few years in the palace, she has been conscientiously taking care of the palace for Jiang Huaiyin.

She has always been amiable, and the people of the palace will also call her Qingluan girl.

Even though she is indeed the housekeeper of the palace in name, she doesn't like this identity!

I don't like to hear it from the mouth of Murong Xi, the real princess!

Murong Xi's face was pale, "Then how can it be done?" Steward Lu's status in the palace is obvious to all, if I take the lead in calling you Qingyuan, and the subordinates listen to it, don't you think I don't take Steward Lu in my eyes? Told the subordinates to laugh at it? ”

Lu Qingyuan: "......"

"The prince must have something important to come to Bashu, right? Why did you come here in a hurry and return to Beijing in a hurry? Why didn't the princess go on the road with the prince? ”

Seeing Lu Qingyuan change the topic, Murong Xi sneered in her heart.

Picking up the teacup casually, she took a sip of tea, swallowed the red bean cake in her mouth, and then Murong Xi replied to her, "The less people know about the prince's affairs, the better." Since the prince did not inform Steward Lu, it means that there are some things that the butler should not know. ”

After that, Murong Xi put down the teacup, curled her eyebrows and smiled at Lu Qingyuan, "Forgive me for not being able to tell me." ”

Lu Qingyuan's face was pale, and he couldn't do basic expression management well.

With that deflated look, Murong Xi just wanted to laugh when she saw it.

It was boring to beg in front of Murong Xi, Lu Qingyuan had no face to continue to stay, and found an excuse to leave.

Murong Xi sent people outside the door, and at this time, the red glow in the west stained half of the sky, dazzling people's eyes.

At this hour, Jiang Huaiyin should go to the royal hunting ground, right?

Gathering his thoughts and squinting his eyes, Murong Xi called out lightly: "Night Blade? ”

Nightblade leapt off the beam of the room and appeared in front of her.

"The subordinates are here."

The attitude of not smiling and the cold temperament of the whole body are better than those of Ye Lan.

Murong Xi's face trembled, how could Jiang Huaiyin be such a figure beside him?

But it looks like a martial artist.

She nodded indifferently and asked to Nightblade, "The prince has already set off, right?" ”

"Yes, the prince commanded, when the princess gets better tomorrow, she will leave immediately."

Murong Xi: "! ”

Listen, where it seems to be caring, it is clearly an order for her to leave for Beijing tomorrow.

Murong Xi said: "Since you set off tomorrow, then you can rest tonight, and the safety of this princess along the way is indispensable to the night blade guard!" ”

"Yes." Nightblade is burdened with a heavy responsibility, how can he rest? It's just that he didn't bother to explain to Murong Xi.

"Ahem." Murong Xi raised her hand to cover her lips and coughed lightly: "I haven't gone out to see it since I came to Bashu, you just stay in the mansion tonight and send a few people to protect me, I want to go out and walk casually." ”

Night Blade finally glanced up at Murong Xi, and there was doubt in his eyes for a short time, and he said resolutely: "The prince ordered before leaving, to ensure the safety of the princess at all times, and the princess should not leave the mansion." ”

"This is Bashu, not the capital." Murong Xi knew in her heart that Jiang Huaiyin should have informed Nightblade that someone wanted to assassinate her.

So he patiently persuaded: "This trip is a secret trip, and no one knows about it." If there really is a man who does not have long eyes to assassinate me, with your skills, you can not capture them? ”

"It's—" Nightblade was a little embarrassed.

The prince instructed him to protect the princess thoroughly, but the night blade was not blind, and in the past few days since returning to the capital, he has seen that the prince treats the princess differently from the past.

Therefore, when he faced Murong Xi, he was also a little more respectful.

I also want to meet Murong Xi's requirements as much as possible within the scope of my ability.

"If your subordinates protect the princess, they will definitely capture the villains."

Murong Xi: "......"

Okay, whoever follows will be known to Jiang Huaiyin afterwards.

She waved her hand, "Get ready, get out of the house immediately." ”

-

The two of them went out the back door as usual.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the last red glow also hid behind the western mountain, and the vision was dim, and they didn't see the corner of a corridor in the palace at all, and a figure was silently watching their backs.

Walking out of the palace, Murong Xi instructed Night Blade, "Go to Chang'an Avenue first, the second alley from east to west." ”

Nightblade: "Yes." ”

The complete obedience of the Night Blade saved Murong Xi a lot of brain cells to deal with.

The carriage swayed along the street, and Murong Xi occasionally lifted the curtain to watch the scenery on both sides.

Same as the rumors, the land of Bashu is indeed not as prosperous as the capital.

The crowd in the capital is bustling, and the pedestrians in Bashu are in twos and threes, so they are not depressed.

Murong Xi sighed and lowered the curtain.

Jiang Huaiyin is also an aspirant, there are so many fiefdoms to choose from, but he chose Bashu, which all the princes avoided.

Presumably, Jiang Huaiyin also has a heart that the country is strong and the people are rich-
