Tao Lian came back to her senses and looked at her with complicated eyes.

She really didn't expect that Xu Ying, who was weak on the outside, like a gust of wind that could blow it away, already had someone in her heart.

She was surprised.

couldn't help it, she said with some curiosity: "Then the person you like, does he like you too?" ”

Hearing this, a flush appeared on Xu Ying's pale face, and she tapped her head, "Hmm." ”

Tao Lian asked with interest, "Who is that person?" Since you are happy with each other, why didn't you decide to marry before? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ying's face was gloomy, "He, he is a groom in my family, and my father and mother don't look down on him."

If my father and mother knew, he would definitely be beaten to death by my father and mother. ”

When Tao Lian heard this, she was surprised and sympathetic, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she raised her hand and patted her shoulder.

"Pity, you can't talk about this matter, if the prince or my father and mother know, he, he will not have a way to live." Xu Ying grabbed her hand and said.

"Don't worry, I won't say it." Tao Lian assured.

"Fifth Miss, the prince is here."

The two were talking, when someone suddenly reported outside the door.

When the two heard this, they looked at each other in surprise, very surprised.

"The prince is here." After a while, Xu Ying said loudly.

Tao Lian frowned in confusion, not knowing why the prince came, but he still said to his subordinates: "I know, this is coming." ”

After that, she and Xu Ying got up together and prepared to go out to meet them.

When he walked outside the door, he saw that the prince had arrived, and was coming from the other side of the corridor.

He wore a crescent-white robe today, with bamboo leaves embroidered with silver coins on the placket, and the whole person was indescribably elegant.

This is the first time Xu Ying saw Qi Yan, and she was stunned for a moment, before she came back to her senses and saluted with Tao Lian, "I've seen the prince!" ”

When Qi Yan walked over slowly, his eyes kept falling on Tao Lian.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but I feel that this girl looks a little more rounded.

The already round face seems to have grown some flesh again, and it looks more fleshy.

The corners of his lips twitched.

When she got closer, she saw Xu Ying standing next to her.

He obviously didn't know her, and looked at Tao Lian with some hesitation, "You have guests?" ”

When Tao Lian heard this, he knew that he didn't know Xu Ying, and introduced him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is Miss Xu Ying of the Xu family." ”

When Qi Yan heard this, he paused, and then remembered that there was such a person.

However, he didn't look at Xu Ying, he only nodded and said, "No courtesy." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Xu Ying straightened up.

Qi Yan specially went out of the palace today, just to be alone with Tao Lian for a while, but now that Xu Ying is here, it is a little inconvenient.

He pondered for a while, and was about to ask Xu Ying to retreat, but Tao Lian took the first step and said, "Your Highness, why did you leave the palace today?" I was just talking to Sister Yingying inside, would you like to go in and have a cup of tea together? ”

When Qi Yan heard this, his eyes fell on her face, and he whispered "um".

Seeing that he agreed, Tao Lian hurriedly asked his subordinates to prepare tea again.

"Your Highness, please inside." She beckoned, and took Xu Ying's hand and entered together.

Xu Ying knew that the prince had come to see Tao Lian today, so after sitting for a while, she got up and said, "Your Highness, the courtiers still have some things to do, so they will retire first." ”

"Okay." Qi Yan nodded, very satisfied with her knowledge.

But Tao Pian saw that Xu Ying was leaving, but he panicked in his heart.

She didn't want to face the prince alone now.

She was just about to keep Xu Ying, but Xu Ying winked at her and said softly: "Then pity accompany the prince well, I'll go first, I'll be free another day, and I'll come to you to play again." ”

"Okay then, Sister Yingying, then I'll send you." Tao Lian got up and said.

"No, no, you still accompany the prince." After Xu Ying finished speaking, she hurried away.

Tao Lian chased after a few steps, and saw that she quickly left, so she could only give up.

But thinking of the prince who was still in the house, his heart was a little awkward.

How good is that?

"Tao Lian?" Qi Yan saw her standing by the door and didn't come back for a long time, so he couldn't help but knock on the table and call her name.

Tao Lian heard this, so he had to turn around and walk back, "Does Your Highness have any orders?" ”

When Qi Yan heard this, he looked at her helplessly, "There is nothing to order." ”

"Oh." Tao responded dumbfoundedly.

"Sit." Qi Yan couldn't help but smile and said.

Tao Lian had no choice but to sit down.

Qi Yan said: "What have you been busy with these days?" ”

Tao Lian frowned and thought for a while, "I'm not busy with anything." ”

"Huh?" Qi Yan raised his eyebrows.

Tao Lian's eyes blinked, and he blurted out: "Actually, I also read some books, ate some food, and went shopping." ”

"Well, it's pretty laid-back." Qi Yan hooked his lips and smiled.

Tao Lian glanced at him and whispered, "I've always been like this." ”

"I know." Qi Yan nodded.

Hearing this, Tao Lian looked at him in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"I want to know about you, it's not hard." Qi Yan's dark eyes were dyed with a smile.

"That's right." Tao Lian nodded, the other party was the crown prince, if he wanted to know about a person, it would be very easy.

Qi Yan looked at her sitting precariously, and knew that she had a lot of scruples about herself in her heart, thinking of this, he was just about to say something, but Tao Lian suddenly said: "Your Highness, my fourth sister is also in the house, call my second sister again, the four of us will play poker, okay?" ”

Qi Yan's expression froze.

He specially went out of the palace for her today, and he didn't want to waste his time on others, he just wanted to be alone with her for a while.

But the little girl was obviously a little restrained in the face of herself.

After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement, "It's okay." ”

Hearing this, Tao Lian got up excitedly, "Then Your Highness wait a while, I'll go and call the fourth sister and them over." ”

Qi Yan saw that she ran away all of a sudden, raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, she could just let someone call her.

Tao Lian was complacent about his wit, and he didn't know the prince's mind at all.

She quickly invited Tao Yao and Tao Ling.

The two actually didn't really want to come, after all, Qi Yan was the prince, even though everyone was no stranger, but the identity of the other party was there, and playing cards together would be tied.

But neither of them could refuse Tao Lian's request.

The girl seemed to be very afraid of the prince, and pleaded again and again, so they had to follow.

After entering the side hall and seeing Qi Yan sitting on a chair, the two stepped forward to salute first, and then asked someone to set up a square table in the hall.

When I went to Linzhou last year, we played eighty points on the boat, so we are all familiar with the rules.

So after the allocation, they took their seats.

It's just that when Tao Lian saw Qi Yan sitting opposite, her heart was entangled again.

Why is she going around, she still can't avoid being in a group with the prince?

She glanced at Tao Yao and Tao Ling with resentful eyes, but the two of them looked down and drew cards as if they didn't see it.

Her mouth pursed, a little dissatisfied.

Qi Yan saw it, the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, how could she not know her thoughts?

He laughed and followed the cards in a relaxed manner.
