Xiao Changdui lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the soup bowl in his hand, his eyes did not squint, and even the corner of his eyes did not fall on Qin Chaojiu for half a minute.

As early as the moment he saw Qin Chaojiu appear in sight, he was no longer angry.

held back several times, but did not greet her with a smile.

I had never felt this before, like a child seeing candy, and the corners of his mouth were rising in uncontrollable madness anyway.

"I went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion that day, knowing that I had misunderstood, and I wanted to come over and explain to you earlier, but then I heard that you entered the palace, and my second brother was also sick, so it has been delayed until now."

Qin Chaojiu said, looked back at Zhujie who was standing far behind him, and said, "Zhujie also said, I came here so late, the prince must be angry with me, so I told her, how is it possible? The prince is quick to come to the high wind and bright festival, and the big belly can be tolerated, and it is impossible to be angry with me because of this little thing, right, the prince?"

"Huh."

Xiao Changdui sneered, and a cool look fell on Qin Chaojiu's face: "If this king cares, is this king stingy?"

Before Qin Chaojiu could continue to defend himself, he heard Xiao Changdui speak, "In the future, stay away from the cowardly people in your mansion, so as not to be contaminated with bad habits."

Bamboo was so frightened that he knelt on the spot because of this heavy sentence.

She trembled on her prostrate ground, her voice begging for mercy blocked in her throat, and she couldn't pronounce half a syllable.

Qin Chaojiu was slightly stunned, then immediately reacted, and was about to speak again.

met Xiao Changdu's eyes with a bit of scrutiny, as if to say the words "think about it before you speak".

"Ahem."

Qin Chaojiu cleared his throat.

Without the pretentiousness just now, even the tone is a little more normal, and the attitude is extraordinarily sincere.

"I really know it's wrong, I promise, I'll never listen to other people's gossip in the future, I'll just listen to what you have to say. Or I swear?"

Qin Chaojiu raised his hand decently, and was pressed down by Xiao Changdu.

Although Xiao Changwan still didn't speak, he was discovered by Qin Chaojiu several times, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.

Qin Chaojiu leaned on the table with one hand, kept looking at Xiao Changdui, and after a long while, he said, "Lord Wang, is Your Royal Highness still grounded in Yunpian Hall now?"

Xiao Zhen?

Xiao Changdui slowly finished eating the last bite of chicken, picked up a silk cyan handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then said with a faint expression: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, Xiao Zhen is sick day and night, and she has received the grace of God, and now she has returned to the court."

Qin Chaojiu pinched his chin, fell into thought, pondered for a moment and then asked, "Then doesn't the emperor mind the second highness?" Even if he can return to the court, his prestige should not be as good as before, right?"

"Xiao Zhen is the eldest of the many princes, and the foundation of the line of the queen mother of the court is still there." Xiao Changdu's cold eyes sank slightly, and he spoke fairly, without praise or disparagement, only calmly narrating the reality in the court now.

It's just that when he lowered his eyes, he put away all the displeasure under his eyes.

I haven't seen her for a long time, but she only said two words, and she can't wait to inquire about Xiao Zhen, what is she thinking?

"The Three Princes?"

Qin Chaojiu suddenly asked again.

This surprised Xiao Changdu, but it was not obvious on his face.

"Xiao Hui?"

Xiao Changdui raised his eyes, and his suspicious gaze fell on Qin Chaojiu's face, his expression was cold and resolute, and when he was watching, he unconsciously wanted to say everything in his heart.

Unable to ignore the anticipation and curiosity in Xiao Changdu's eyes, Qin Chaojiu had no choice but to explain, "I asked for Miss Shen Wu."

"Yajun is one of the few friends I can say a few words, but I've heard that Her Second Highness and Third Highness seem to be interested in befriending her, but she doesn't seem to mean that herself."

"Are you here for Miss Shen Wu?" Xiao Changdu's voice suddenly sank, and even his tone

I couldn't help but feel a little cold.

"Of course not, I'm just asking in passing." Qin Chaojiu immediately denied it.

Her emotional capture of Xiao Changdui has always been keen and accurate.

"The border war is chaotic, General Shen has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and General Shen's mansion is also a red man in the eyes of the saints, Xiao Zhen and Xiao Hui's thoughts are obvious, and General Shen will not agree." Xiao Changdui spoke.

"That ......"

Qin Chaojiu suddenly hesitated, she raised her eyes, her eyes fell on Xiao Changdu's body like autumn water, and she suddenly said, "Then do you think that if our people from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion pry Miss Shen Wu over, will they be hated by the Second Highness and the Third Highness?"

"Huh."

Xiao Changwan sneered: "Because of the Queen Mother's serious illness, the marriage between this king and you has to be postponed for a few days, and if you can't get this king, you have already hit Miss Shen Wu with your idea?"

"Huh?"

A big question mark popped up from the top of Qin Chaojiu's head.

What is he saying, why can't he understand it?

Qin Chaojiu reacted for a long time before he vaguely understood what Xiao Changdui meant: "Lord Wang! I'll do what Miss Shen Wu thinks of doing it, and I won't tell you."

Realizing what he had just said, Xiao Changdui's face suddenly darkened.

After meeting Qin Chao for a long time, it seems that he is often easy to lose control, and he even said such unruly words.

This feeling of realizing that he seemed to be gradually losing control and abnormal made Xiao Changdui feel a sense of resistance in his heart.

Yes, the aura around him suddenly turned cold, and the whole person had a feeling that people didn't dare to approach.

The fickle mood is even more unpredictable than the clouds.

"Lord, do you still want to go to the palace today? Then I'll go back first, and I won't delay you to serve the Queen Mother."

After Qin Chaojiu finished speaking, he got up and saluted, and wanted to leave the Beimu Palace.

As soon as the words fell, the housekeeper came over: "Lord, the eldest princess's mansion has sent a painting."

Qin Chaojiu's steps to prepare to leave suddenly stopped, and she tilted her head to look at the butler's hand.

"Open."

Xiao Changdu's cold and hoarse voice commanded.

The butler beckoned to the back, and a man dressed as a eunuch in the palace stepped forward and respectfully opened a picture scroll in front of everyone.

The eunuch in the eldest princess's mansion said: "Our eldest princess said that this painting is the first spring scene painted by the prince when he was young, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has kept it for many years.

After the eunuch said this, he lowered his head and retreated step by step.

The moment the painting came into view, Xiao Changdu's mind flew back to more than ten years ago, if he remembered correctly, this painting should have been made when he was eight years old.

"The name of the mountain on the picture is Lushan, and it was the Queen Mother who took the king and the eldest princess to go here to leave this painting, and I don't want to leave this painting after many years. z.br>

Xiao Changdui's finger fell on the scroll, his expression drifted away, and he opened his mouth to introduce the story of this painting to Qin Chaojiu.

Qin Chaojiu pointed to the two flying birds at the top of the mountain, and frowned slightly: "This bird's technique seems to be different."

The corners of Xiao Changdu's mouth hooked lightly when he heard this: "This bird was added by the eldest princess later, and there was no one."

"Ahem!"

The housekeeper on the side had always been decent, but at this moment, he suddenly coughed out of place.

Xiao Changdui and Qin Chaojiu raised their eyes at the same time.

The housekeeper immediately bent his knees to apologize: "The slave is guilty of disturbing the prince and Miss Qin Er."

Xiao Changdui didn't say much, and then his eyes fell on the painting in front of him, and Xiao Changdui did the same.

Her eyes were filled with surprise and appreciation: "The people of the world only know that the prince can put on armor and fight bravely to kill the enemy, but no one knows that you still have such a talent in paintings. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the agility is extraordinary, no wonder

Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has been collecting it for many years."

"It's too immature." Xiao Changdui saw clearly the shortcomings in his paintings at a glance, and commented with deep eyes.

Qin Chaojiu maintained it: "Although immature, it is still excellent, even if it is put now, I don't know how many people will be stronger."

Such sincere protection and praise made Xiao Changdu's expression immediately warm.

She likes it, and that's enough.

Qin Chaojiu's appreciation was really too bright, but he was stunned by the housekeeper.

They princess...... Sure enough, the atmosphere.

is worthy of being a woman who can become their princess of Beimu.

But it seems that I always feel that something is not right.

After appreciating the paintings, the Qin Dynasty left the Beimu Palace.

Thinking that Qin Chaojiu had praised this painting just now, Xiao Changdu's originally cold expression eased a little at the moment, but he didn't bother with whether he was too easily influenced by Qin Chaojiu.

"Somebody, frame this painting and hang it in the ...... Let's study."

The housekeeper, who had always obeyed Xiao Changdu's orders, hesitated at this moment.

"Lord Wang......"

"Huh?" Xiao Changdui looked back and felt that today's housekeeper didn't seem to be normal.

The housekeeper swallowed his saliva and looked at his prince, who was also twenty or five years old, but in the area of women, he had never been enlightened.

Well, I'm barely getting the hang of it now.

"Lord Wang, the timing of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's return of the scroll today is really unfortunate, that is, when I met a reasonable woman like Miss Qin Er, I didn't think much about it, if I changed to an ordinary woman, I would definitely be sad for a while."

The housekeeper spoke seriously, and Xiao Changdui couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that his prince listened to it, the housekeeper continued, "So think about it, wouldn't this painting be very good to hang?"

If an ordinary woman sees something that her husband created with other women when he was a child, and she still has to watch it every day, I am afraid that she will always feel uncomfortable.

"Withdrawn."

"Yes!"

After a slight pause, Xiao Changdu's gaze moved away from the transformation, and the glimmer of joy that had just been ignited had disappeared.

The housekeeper was reasonable, so Qin Chao ...... her for a long time

didn't show any unhappiness at all, was it really just a little thought, or was it ...... Don't care about her?

Countless dream images flashed through my mind one by one.

She could never be a simple silly white sweet.

Then there was only one explanation, she didn't care about him, so she didn't mind such a thing.

It's a really uncomfortable thought.
