Chapter 342: Painting the Ground
Wei Xi's face was not very good-looking.
He has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and he rarely has been exposed to his thoughts, especially when Xiaoyu is still a girl younger than him.
"If what I say below, if you think it is audible, let me just listen to it. If you don't think it's interesting, let me talk nonsense. Xiao Yu pushed him forward again.
"I'm a perverse person, there are few people who can look at it, and I just look at you well, but the fragrant flowers are in my eyes, if you really like her, I think it's good."
Wei Xi wanted to laugh when he heard it.
How old was she to speak to him in the tone of an elder?
Also, what does he mean that he just makes her "pleasing to the eye"?
"The point is that she doesn't necessarily like you. Yang Yu was sent to Zhangzhou before, you may still have a chance to fight, but now that he has come back safely, you are already a few steps behind here. So if you are still unwilling, you have to hurry. β
Wei Xi smiled lightly: "There is no grass at the end of the world......"
Xiao Yu saw that he hit the south wall and refused to look back, and said angrily: "It's hateful not that flower!" β
Anyway, she didn't care about Wei Xi, she went straight away angrily.
Wei Xi was left alone by the lotus pond and silent for a long time before he said to himself and laughed: "Why bother? When we meet in the future, we can at least look at each other and smile. β
"Where? With such a large lotus pond, where can I find His Royal Highness......" Xu Ruyu muttered.
Recently, in the summer heat, her hometown sent some chilled lychees, which was also the last wave of lychees, Xu Ruyu begged her mother to bring them to the palace and give them to the princess to taste.
The princess accepted it, leaving her mother and daughter to talk, and then Xu Ruyu asked how Wei Xi's injury was, and the princess smiled and said that Xiaoyu pushed him out to relax, and it should be on the edge of the lotus pond at this time.
The little maid held her an umbrella and told her to slow down. But Xu Ruyu walked most of the lotus pond and didn't see Wei Xi, she had to think that the princess had a mistake.
"Miss, look there!" The little maid whispered to her.
Xu Ruyu used a fan to block the dazzling sunlight, looked in the direction she said, and sure enough, she saw that in a gazebo not far ahead, Wei Xi was sitting in a wheelchair, as if she was admiring the flowers.
She immediately hid behind the tall plantain, tidied up her clothes, and then walked over with a small group of fans.
"Ruyu greets His Highness."
Wei Xi turned his head and chuckled, "No need to be polite. β
The Xu family took refuge in them when his father, King Yiyong, was still there, and they had a lot of private contacts over the years, and after Wei Qi and others rebelled, they began to move around on the surface, and Wei Xi and Xu Ruyu had also met a few times.
"Your Highness has been feeling better lately?"
Wei Xi smiled: "It's much better, thank you for your concern." β
Xu Ruyu saw that there were no others around, so he said happily: "Your Highness is here to enjoy the lotus, it's really a good Yaxing." Ruyu is here today. β
Wei Xi just smiled and didn't answer.
If he could be left alone a little longer, he would probably thank her for a long time.
Sure enough, Xu Ruyu's drunkard didn't mean to drink, she didn't want to look at the lotus at all, so she only talked again after a moment of silence.
"Does Your Highness know that this time General Zhenguo has made a great contribution, not only recovering Zhangzhou, but also eliminating future troubles?"
"I've heard a little."
Xu Ruyu was anxious to tell him the secret she had discovered, and turned a corner stiffly: "Then does His Highness know about Yang Yu?" β
This is naturally known.
Wei Xi nodded.
The next words are a bit difficult to say, especially for her daughter who has not been out of the cabinet, these words can only rot in the stomach.
But not to mention this time, Wei Xi didn't know how long she would be deceived by Cheng Xianghua, she was so anxious that she knelt down on one knee for Wei Xi.
Wei Xi was injured and it was inconvenient to bend over, so she could only reach out and let her get up.
Xu Ruyu lowered her head and said: "Ruyu recently learned about it, and she couldn't sleep afterwards, so she still had the courage to tell His Highness." β
Wei Xi probably guessed who Xu Ruyu was going to talk about, and said with a wry smile in his heart: It really caused her a lot of trouble, how should I apologize in the future.
"Come on."
Xu Ruyu tried her best not to gloat as much as possible, and she pretended to have a pitiful look of "I don't want to debunk it, but that's the truth".
"I had something to look for Mrs. Yang that day, but unfortunately I saw a carriage parked at the door first, and I thought it would be okay for me to wait if there were guests in Yang's Mansion. But who knew that he waited for more than two hours before he saw a woman come out of Yang's mansion. β
Wei Xi already knew the whole story, and he made a sigh of cooperation.
Xu Ruyu didn't see his mood swings, and then said: "That woman is Cheng Xianghua, the righteous daughter of Princess Anping." She was wearing a hat at the time, but I recognized the maid next to her, and I wondered why she went to the Yang Mansion to hide like this, and soon after I saw another person coming out of the Yang Mansion, it was Yang Yu! β
The story should stop at this point, her mother said that His Royal Highness the Prince is a very smart person, let her not add oil and vinegar, otherwise it will be a snake.
Xu Ruyu suppressed the idea of adding fuel to the fire.
After listening to this, Wei Xi didn't speak for a while.
Xu Ruyu lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, not knowing what his expression was. But if you think about it, you know that it is impossible for a man to smile when he hears such words.
However, no, there was no one around, Wei Xi's face was smiling at this time, but this smile was a smile with compassion. If Xu Ruyu raised his head in this matter, he was afraid that he would be taken aback, and he didn't know what his intentions were.
Xiaoyu still said that he had to hurry up, wasn't the ending already doomed?
Wei Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I know, get up." β
Xu Ruyu got up in a daze, and couldn't help but glance at him - Wei Xi's face was neither sad nor joyful, let alone angry, as if he had just listened to the cicadas.
"Your Highness......"
She wanted to ask him if he wasn't angry? But on second thought, it wasn't what she should have asked.
Although she didn't have any credentials, her intuition told her that Wei Xi was angry at this moment, and it seemed to be angry with her.
"Your Highness, it's hot here, why don't I send you back?" She didn't want to ruin Wei Xi's only good impression of herself because of a fragrant flower.
Wei Xi raised his hand and said, "No need." β
Almost with his movements, Xiao Yu appeared out of nowhere and said to Xu Ruyu coldly: "Don't work hard." β
With that, Xiao Yu pushed Wei Xi and walked back.
Xu Ruyu was stunned for a moment before she stomped her foot angrily: "What! Dog bitesβ"
She said two words, quickly covered her mouth, and the little maid also looked around in a panic to make sure that no one was relieved. Xu Ruyu's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly went back to find her mother.
