Tyrant teases cats daily
Chapter 34 Zhou Xiuyao: If you can't tease meow, you will be teased instead.
As soon as Zhou Xiuyao and the old matriarch left the study, he hurried back to the main hall without even tidying up the letters on the case, but as soon as he stepped in, he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was not right.
However, Zhou Xiuyao still saw the young man standing at the entrance of the hall with a straight back, a tight face, and big eyes staring at him cautiously.
Zhou Xiuyao's restless heart sank back little by little, his eyes unconsciously showed a touch of tenderness, and even his usually indifferent voice softened a bit: "Why are you standing here? You wake up so early?"
Xu Jinwen's little heart was beating crazily, and Xiao Shunzi didn't look right no matter how he woke up, he suddenly found that Xiao Shunzi looked at him as if he was looking at his master. This... the style of painting is not quite right ?
No matter how Xiao Shunzi explained that this was a normal breakfast, could Xu Jinwen believe it?
Must not be.
The last meal was porridge and side dishes, but this meal suddenly... went from the ground to the sky, what is this fooling around?
Definitely the last meal.
But no matter what Xu Jinwen thought, he couldn't remember that he just wandered into the palace in a soft sedan, why did he run to His Highness's bedroom as soon as he opened his eyes?
Could it be that...he was drunk and went crazy yesterday, and broke into His Highness's bedroom privately?He also offended His Highness, so His Highness...
The more Xu Jinwen thought about it, the more he felt that the little head hanging around his neck was not stable, and Xu Jinwen groaned in his heart, is he going to lose his pretty little face?
He hasn't hugged his thigh yet?
How can you make a fool of yourself!
So, no matter what Xiao Shunzi said, Xu Jinwen couldn't listen to it. In the end, he stood up abruptly and stood guard in front of the palace gate with small steps. Baba's small eyes looked in the direction of the palace gate, waiting for Zhou Xiuyao to come back .
Xiao Shunzi was also confused, what happened to Xu Bandu?Why not eat a good meal?
But no matter how he persuaded, Xu Bandu always looked at him with that expression of "Don't tell me, I already know, even if you keep it from me and want me to have a good meal in the end, but I still want to live". Xiao Shunzi was dumbfounded, did he hear wrong?Is this actually the last guillotine meal?
So, in the end, it became the two standing at the door with dazed faces, one in front and one behind, waiting.
Xu Jinwen was waiting for his heart to calm down a bit. The breakfast was delicious, so he couldn't help but become more courageous. He thought, maybe it was because he successfully hugged his thigh last night, and His Highness rewarded him with a sumptuous meal. Maybe?
But when Zhou Xiuyao came back, seeing Zhou Xiuyao talking to him so "gently", his eyes and tone made Xu Jinwen burst into tears: Sure enough...it was the last meal of beheading.
Zhou Xiuyao didn't get Xu Jinwen's answer, and saw the young boy's body tensed up, his eyes wide open, and his pitiful appearance. Just as he was about to ask something, he saw a big smile on the young man's face, and he ran away enthusiastically. Come over: "Your Highness, you are back~"
Zhou Xiuyao's body froze when he heard the last rippling sound, his phoenix eyes were full of doubts, he raised his eyes, and took a cool look at Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi quickly stood up, and Gu Qiang cried without tears: "Your Highness, the servant really didn't say anything, just, Xu Bandu didn't want to eat it, and insisted on waiting for His Highness to come back... Your Highness, how can the servant explain..."
Zhou Xiuyao glanced at Xu Jinwen's anxious little eyes, then at Xiao Shunzi, raised his hand to stop Xiao Shunzi from continuing, and waved his hand to let Xiao Shunzi go down first.
Xiao Shunzigu hesitated to speak, but he hurriedly saluted and withdrew.
When there were only Zhou Xiuyao and Xu Jinwen left in the hall, Xu Jinwen became even more uneasy: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhou
So, the anxious Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward, gently rolled up his sleeves, and dusted Zhou Xiuyao with the dust that did not exist on his body: "Your Highness, are you tired of reading? Why don't you call me, as a companion , you can bring tea and water to His Highness, beat your legs and rub your shoulders, make sure His Highness wants to drink after drinking, and wants to beat after hammering..."
Looking at Xu Jinwen's appearance, Zhou Xiuyao finally understood what kind of monster this little thing was. He probably forgot all about last night's events at all. Seeing the big change in Xiao Shunzi's attitude, Zhou Xiuyao felt uneasy?What have you figured out?
Zhou Xiuyao looked at the boy who innocently opened his eyes and looked at him obediently, and pointed to the meal not far away: "What do you think is that?"
Xu Jinwen: ...QAQ
Xu Jinwen burst into tears in his heart, what does this mean, Your Highness?
Could it be that you want to let yourself choose?
But if it wasn't for decapitation, wouldn't he personally send his little head to the knife?
He is not so stupid!
So, Xu Jinwen puffed out his chest: "...His Highness's breakfast?"
Zhou Xiuyao took a deep look at him: "Then come here." After finishing speaking, he walked over first and sat down on his seat, and saw the young man trotting over, he arranged the bowls and chopsticks obediently, and walked to Behind him, he rubbed his shoulders. While rubbing, he leaned forward cautiously and anxiously. The young man's crisp voice blew past his ears: "Your Highness, is this strength enough?"
Zhou Xiuyao was stunned, his eyes fell on the front, and all his attention seemed to be taken away by the approach of the young man behind him. He could only clearly feel the other party's breath brushing against his ear, and the breath on his shoulder. hand……
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xiuyao squinted his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the thoughtful little thing behind him.
Zhou Xiuyao was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Xu companion reading."
Xu Jinwen quickly stood up: "Here!"
Zhou Xiuyao: "Do you know what you did last night?"
Xu Jinwen: Did he really do something unforgivable? "Your Highness, Your Highness... I drank some tea last night, and I don't remember anything. If I did something wrong, can Your Highness... pretend it never happened? From now on, I will be very obedient and listen to Your Highness, Your Highness Let it go east, let it go east, let it go west, it's absolutely unambiguous!"
When it came to the end, Xu Jinwen was afraid that Zhou Xiuyao would not believe him, so he stretched out his hand to assure him, and finally put his hands in his hands, feeling very nervous, and secretly glanced at Zhou Xiuyao fearfully like a little daughter-in-law.
Zhou Xiuyao almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but when he accurately captured one of the lines, a strange light flashed in his deep phoenix eyes: "Oh? Are you really going to listen to loneliness in the future?"
Xu Jinwen: "Yeah, I'm listening, Your Highness, you have to believe in my sincerity."
"That's it, since Xu Bandu said so, Gu will believe it for the time being. Gu has thought about it recently, and there is one less caring servant by his side. From tonight onwards, you will move to Gu's dormitory and serve him personally." Zhou Xiuyao's calm voice sounded slowly, and upon listening carefully, it seemed to carry some deep meaning.
Xu Jinwen was dumbfounded, but he didn't focus on the personal service at all. He only caught one sentence, and his eyes lit up instantly: "From, from tonight... This, isn't this a meal of decapitation?" Woohoo, he doesn't need it died!
Zhou Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, and glanced at him: "Who told you that this is a decapitated meal?"
Xu Jinwen quickly shook his head: "No, no one, I was wrong, Your Highness, you are such a good Highness, how could you cut off anyone's head at will? Hahaha, Your Highness is so kind, I must always follow His Highness, Your Highness will catch up with you Can't drive away!"
Zhou Xiuyao: "What about the personal service?"
Just as Xu Jinwen felt that he had saved his life, he felt that His Highness must have been impressed by his sincerity and enthusiasm, so His Highness stopped killing him, and quickly slapped his chest to express his loyalty: "Of course I am willing! Don't worry, Your Highness, don't say yes!" Personal service, even warming the bed is willing, Your Highness."
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his phoenix eyes when he heard the second half of the sentence: "Would you like to warm the bed too? From Xu Ban's point of view, it is indeed very lonely."
A certain Miao Miao, who was sold and helped count the money, was even more joyful when she heard "desolate heart": "Yeah~"
An imperceptible smile flickered under Zhou Xiuyao's drooping phoenix eyes: "In this case... then, as Xu Bandu wished, the weather is getting colder, and Xu Bandu will warm the couch in the future." It seems... Wait a minute and tell the little thing that he already knows who he is?
After Xu Jinwen heard it, he didn't have to worry about beheading at all, and he was very happy: "Listen to His Highness! Whatever His Highness says!"
Zhou Xiuyao: "Then sit down and eat."
Xu Jinwen quickly stood up straight: "No, dare not..."
Zhou Xiuyao: "Huh? Just now you said to listen to Gu's? Now you won't listen?"
Xu Jinwen quickly sat down: "How could it be?... Nothing!"
Then, after Zhou Xiuyao gave a signal, he began to frantically chop up the rice and ate until his belly was full.
When Xu Jinwen sent Zhou Xiuyao out of the palace with his swollen belly, Xu Jinwen touched his stomach and thought... Hey, why does it always feel that something is wrong?He could already eat with the little tyrant?
Could it be that, in fact, he didn't do something wrong last night, but hugged his thigh a little bit?
After Xu Jinwen looked bewildered, Xiao Shunzi packed up his bags and sent them to Zhou Xiuyao's bedroom.
Xu Jinwen had the feeling of being hit on the head by a large bag of money. He sat in Zhou Xiuyao's bedroom, looked left and right, no matter how he looked, he felt that he had been promoted?
Upgraded from reading companion to confidant?
Otherwise, wouldn't His Highness never allow anyone to enter his bedroom?
Even Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to come in without giving orders, but now he has entered the room!
Xu Jinwen became excited just thinking about it, he stood up and walked around in the dormitory, feeling that His Highness trusted him so much, he couldn't sit still and wait for other legs to squeeze him down, so although Zhou Xiuyao specially ordered Xu Jinwen to rest for a day before go to the study.
Xu Jinwen was still in a state of confusion.
When Zhou Xiuyao and Rong Xuan came out of the study room, Zhou Xiuyao met Xu Jinwen's delighted little face at a glance. The crescent eyes were soft to the point of his heart no matter how he looked at them. The emotions are just fleeting.
He walked out, and Xu Jinwen followed him up.
Hehe, if His Highness has no objection, then he agrees. Going one step further, His Highness has acquiesced in his status as a first-class confidant.
Xu Jinwen took the initiative to ignore the existence of Rong Xuan, this lady is cheating, meow can't play, that's not a confidant, that's a fox.
Xu Jinwen stared at Rong Xuan's figure vigilantly, feeling that this guy's purpose was not pure, and he couldn't let the little tyrant be fooled.
Rong Xuan left the palace last night, but was not in the palace. The secret guards on duty at Yuxin Palace were also changed last night. Except for Xiao Shunzi and Zhou Xiuyao himself, no one knew that Xu Jinwen broke into the forbidden area. .
Xiao Shunzi was on Zhou Xiuyao's side, so naturally he would not take the initiative to tell Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan walked a few steps, always felt that the eyes of the little companion behind him were particularly obtrusive, he turned his head, and met Xu Jinwen's staring gaze, Rong Xuan frowned: "What is Xu Bandu looking at me like that for?"
Xu Jinwen had already looked away when Rong Xuan looked over: "Is there? No, right... Eunuch Rong, you are wrong."
Rong Xuan always felt that this little thing had a strange tone: "Really?"
Xu Jinwen nodded his head heavily, Rong Xuan could only look away, and Zhou Xiuyao, who was walking in front, listened to the conversation between the two. If he didn't know the identity of this little thing, he probably didn't understand it. At that time, Rong Xuan teased him too much, I'm afraid he remembered it now, the little thing can hold a grudge.
"Xu is reading with you, and I will go to the imperial study with you alone." Zhou Xiuyao said.
Xu Jinwen hurriedly yelled, trotted over, and followed behind Zhou Xiuyao, almost pushing Rong Xuan away, and now it's time for a leg-to-leg contest.
Rong Xuan: "..." Why is this little bastard so disgusting?
Xu Jinwen's small eyes flickered: Are you the one who attracts people's suspicion?Meow is showing mercy by not scratching you.
Zhou Xiuyao was afraid that Xu Jinwen would stay in Yuxin Palace and fight Rong Xuan, and since Rong Xuan didn't know Xu Jinwen's identity, he didn't intend to let Rong Xuan know.
Rong Xuan thought that Xu Jinwen was sent by Concubine Xu, Zhou Xiuyao was not very relieved.
It seems that the two of them should be kept together less in the future.
Xu Jinwen followed Zhou Xiuyao to the Imperial Study Room, and after waiting outside the Imperial Study Room, he ordered his lunch and went back.
Xu Jinwen thought it was a coincidence, but when he reached the road, Zhou Xiuyao slowed down, and when Xu Jinwen followed, he seemed to have no intention of asking, "Is there anything you want for lunch?"
Xu Jinwen's eyes lit up, and he felt rather flattered: "!!!" Your Highness unexpectedly!ask him!He really became a golden leg!
Xu Jinwen stared at Zhou Xiuyao with bright eyes, and expressed his loyalty reservedly: "I like whatever your Highness eats."
Zhou Xiuyao walked in front, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched: "Oh? Then Gu will make the decision for you."
Xu Jinwen: ...I'm so touched, Your Highness has already started thinking about the food for the legs.
With such a master, what can I ask for legs!
Just halfway there, Zhou Xiuyao originally wanted to tease a few words, but when he saw the figure in front of him, his pace slowed down, and his phoenix eyes also sank.
Xu Jinwen was following behind Xu Jinwen, but suddenly he was unsteady and almost bumped into him. When he stopped and raised his head, he saw a few people standing not far away, and the leading girl was looking at Xu Jinwen in surprise.
Xu Jinwen: "..." Why is the eldest princess here?
Xu Jinwen quickly hid behind Zhou Xiuyao with a whoosh. The boy's figure had just started to grow and was completely blocked by Zhou Xiuyao, but it was still a few beats behind. Zhou Chengqin had already seen Xu Jinwen.
Although Zhou Chengqin was warned by Empress Jiang earlier, she still didn't really take it to heart.
Although the queen mother said that she is not in a hurry now, she is already seventeen. If it is any other little girl, she would have been engaged and married after Jiji. She is only in poor health, and it has only been delayed for two years, but even if it is not for that Jin Shu, it is possible It's someone else.
The person selected by the queen mother is either helpful to the Jiang family, or has a high status, so Jin Shu is the most suitable person, but even so, it is not something she can look up to. The children of the aristocratic family, could it be that there are already many concubines in the family.
Because of her poor health, she stayed in the dormitory all day and read too many scripts.
I envy the couple who play the piano and sing harmoniously.
She herself thinks that the young master of the Xu family is suitable. She is a princess, and Xu Jinwen is the only one left in the third room of the Xu family. He will be able to enter the palace to accompany her at that time. Even if he goes out to build the princess mansion, he will be alone. She has already asked someone After that, the other party has no big ambitions, so it is very suitable for her.
What's more, the other party saved her, and she also had an inexplicable affection for him.
It's just that Zhou Chengqin was very happy at first, but seeing Xu Jinwen avoiding her when he saw her, he couldn't help showing loneliness in his eyes, so his eyes turned to Zhou Xiuyao, and when he raised his eyes, he met the young and dark Phoenix. Zhou Chengqin trembled in fear because of the cold and sharp breath in his eyes.
Lowering his eyes: "Prince."
Zhou Xiuyao stepped up calmly, completely covering the young man behind him. When he heard the report before, he didn't know that the other party was that little thing, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. Now seeing Zhou Chengqin, those who didn't care before The report flooded into his mind again, making Zhou Xiuyao's breath a few degrees colder: "Sister Huang is very interested."
Zhou Chengqin felt scared when he saw Zhou Xiuyao, and wanted to leave, but wanted to say a few more words to Xu Jinwen to find out what he meant.
Zhou Chengqin thought that if he didn't find someone who was pleasing to the eye, he might be forced to marry Jin Shu after a while. Zhou Chengqin gritted his teeth and managed to overcome his fear of Zhou Xiuyao. Last week, Xiuyao's gaze fell on the quail-like young man behind him.
"Prince, since we met, it's a coincidence. It just so happens that the princess has something to read to Xu Ban alone because of some things. I wonder if His Royal Highness can borrow someone?" Let out a sigh of relief.
It's just that after this sentence was finished, Zhou Chengqin clearly felt that Zhou Xiuyao's eyes became colder, which was too frighteningly cold: "Oh? Let me borrow it from someone else? I'm a lonely companion, don't you think Huang Jie should avoid suspicion?"
Zhou Chengqin forced a smile: "There are people here, and this princess just said a few words. There was a large audience, and she didn't say anything to avoid suspicion. This princess and Xu Bandu went to the gazebo over there to have a conversation. In other words, if His Highness is worried, you can just watch from a distance."
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his eyes: "What if I don't want to?"
Zhou Chengqin's reaction made Zhou Xiuyao extremely displeased, especially thinking of the scene where Maomao went to Taoran Palace to beg for money after Maomao rescued Zhou Chengqin. What do you want to do?
Zhou Xiuyao didn't really pay attention to Zhou Chengqin and Empress Jiang, and his opponent was not these two.
But the other party's information has already been reported.
It's just that he didn't pay attention to it before, but now he was caught out again, and he went through it from top to bottom, and quickly found the key point.
——Empress Jiang not long ago, while looking at candidates for the eldest son-in-law for the eldest princess, she took a fancy to Jin Jijiu.
Jin Shu belongs to that person, so naturally he won't marry the eldest princess, and will find ways to refuse.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but now seeing Zhou Chengqin's gaze on Xu Jinwen, Zhou Xiuyao frowned: Could it be... Empress Jiang has taken a fancy to Jin Shu, but Zhou Chengqin didn't like it this time, so, Who did she see?This little thing behind?
Even though Zhou Xiuyao was only a few months older than Xu Jinwen, but preconceived, Xu Jinwen has always been that cat in Zhou Xiuyao's heart, and that coquettish and cute person has occupied a place in his heart.
The one who just robbed him?It seems that Empress Jiang is too indulgent with her eldest princess.
Zhou Xiuyao bent the corner of his mouth, and Zhou Chengqin trembled at the mocking and cold gaze: "Prince, this princess only said a few words, I picked up the jade pendant Xu Ban read earlier, and now I just give it back to him."
Only then did Zhou Xiuyao remember the jade pendant, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the young man who looked like a quail.
When Xu Jinwen heard the word "Jade Pendant", he let out a groan from the bottom of his heart, why didn't the eldest princess mention it at this time?
What if the little tyrant misunderstood him as a leg and hugged two golden thighs?
Xu Jinwen inexplicably felt that his small neck, which had just grown firmly in the morning, began to sway: Listen to me, Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding.
If I had known... Forget it again, he would still save it. After all, it is a human life, Your Highness.
Zhou Xiuyao took a deep look at the guilt-ridden young man: "You really lost your jade pendant?"
Xu Jinwen didn't hear the deep meaning in Zhou Xiuyao's words, so he nodded silently.
Just finished clicking, and saw Zhou Xiuyao's phoenix eyes sinking even more, Xu Jinwen didn't dare to say a word: "Actually, actually, don't...it's nothing." It was originally the jade pendant that he carried with him, and he still had several pieces, but at least it was a jade pendant. It has been worn close to the body for a long time, in fact...but compared with the "ruthless" eyes of the little tyrant, the jade pendant is given to the eldest princess!Meow no more wow!
Zhou Xiuyao: "Why not?" Want to leave a token for others?Think beautifully.
Zhou Xiuyao glanced slowly around Xu Jinwen's face, making Xu Jinwen tremble with fear.
Seeing that the effect of the warning had been achieved, Zhou Xiuyao turned around and looked at Zhou Chengqin: "Where's the jade pendant?"
When Zhou Chengqin heard this, he thought that Zhou Xiuyao agreed, his eyes lit up, and he took the jade pendant out of his arms.
Hanging on the fingertips, the emerald green jade pendant glowed with a clear luster under the sunlight, and after turning it around a few times, the word "文" on it was extremely dazzling, and Zhou Xiuyao felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
He tilted his head towards a young eunuch who was unfamiliar to Xu Jinwen behind him: "Go, bring it here."
The little eunuch immediately bowed his body and knelt down in front of Zhou Chengqin, holding his hands together.
Zhou Chengqin was stunned: "No, it's not... This princess wants to hand it over to Xu Bandu." If she just handed it over like this, how will she find a reason to talk to Xu Bandu alone next time, and find a way to test it out?
But Zhou Xiuyao didn't give in at all: "Sister Huang, you probably don't know, there is only one problem."
Zhou Chengqin: "Huh?" Problem, what?
Zhou Xiuyao continued to speak slowly: "Lonely things don't like others to move casually."
Zhou Chengqin didn't understand, and looked down at the jade pendant in his hand: "But, but this is what Xu Ban read..."
Zhou Xiuyao laughed when he heard Zhou Chengqin's words.
It's just that the other party is smiling, but Zhou Chengqin feels a hairy feeling all over his body.
"Xu Bandu is a lonely person, so all his things are naturally lonely, so what's wrong with Gu?" Zhou Xiuyao turned his head and looked at the little thing hiding behind him: "What do you think of Xu Bandu? "
Xu Jinwen was also dumbfounded, and this operation?
He belongs to the little tyrant, so his things belong to the little tyrant too?
Xu Jinwen thought about it seriously, he is now the little tyrant's, and his things are... all right.
Therefore, Xu Jinwen poked his head out from behind Zhou Xiuyao, and nodded seriously: "Your Highness is right, they belong to His Highness, the jade pendant... the princess just return it to His Highness!"
Zhou Chengqin couldn't help but clenched the knot of the jade pendant, feeling inexplicably unwilling...
But now being stared at so closely by Zhou Xiuyao, it's like a ferocious beast resting soundly. If there is anything wrong with her, the other party may go up and bite her neck off.
Zhou Chengqin was taken aback by his own thought, but holding the rope of the jade pendant, he still didn't want to give it.
"Since this is the case, then the princess will be fine next time..." It will be fine to find a time when there is no prince next time.
It's just that Zhou Chengqin just turned around, and with Zhou Xiuyao raising his hand, he quickly surrounded Zhou Chengqin.
Zhou Chengqin's face also turned ugly: "Prince, what are you doing?"
Zhou Xiuyao walked forward, walking slowly, but very coercive: "Sister Huang's words are interesting, if you don't return Gu's things, it's fine, if you want to swallow them in private, come to ask for them, why is it wrong? "
Zhou Chengqin: "You!"
After all, Zhou Chengqin was still afraid of Zhou Xiuyao, seeing the other party approaching step by step, his beautiful phoenix eyes gave Zhou Chengqin a creepy feeling, finally bit the bullet and put the jade pendant in the little eunuch's hand at random, Turning around quickly, the guards quickly stepped aside and ran away with red eyes.
The little eunuch bowed his waist and handed over the jade pendant respectfully.
Zhou Xiuyao didn't even look at it, Xu Jinwen wanted to go forward to get it back, but Zhou Xiuyao grabbed his wrist.
Xu Jinwen looked over suspiciously: "Your Highness?" Didn't His Highness really want to take it for himself?But this jade pendant His Royal Highness likes it?
But Zhou Xiuyao didn't look at Xu Jinwen, and directly ordered the little eunuch: "Take it and clean it again, and change the knot again."
The little eunuch immediately chirped and quickly backed away.
Xu Jinwen looked confused: "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is no need, I look quite..." Clean...
Xu Jinwen's voice faltered when he met Zhou Xiuyao's phoenix eyes, and he didn't dare to speak.
You are the boss and you have the final say, what you say is what you say.
It's just, why do I always feel that His Highness is not very happy.
So Xu Jinwen was brought back to Yuxin Palace in fear all the way. When he arrived in the palace, Zhou Xiuyao landed in front of the table and didn't speak.
Xu Jinwen stood in front of him, drooping his head, feeling uneasy.
Zhou Xiuyao kept silent, Xu Jinwen's little heart was beating wildly: Could it be... His Highness really misunderstood that he hugged both thighs?
"Your Highness..." Xu Jinwen swallowed his saliva, unable to hold back anymore, and spoke first.
Zhou Xiuyao stared at him closely, and slowly opened his mouth: "Shouldn't Xu Bandu explain to Gu, what is going on with this jade pendant?"
Xu Jinwen: It seems that QAQ cannot escape.
Xu Jinwen didn't dare to hide it anymore. For the sake of his great career, he must draw a clear line with the eldest princess. Therefore, Xu Jinwen said that he originally wanted to go to the imperial study to meet Zhou Xiuyao, but in order to take a shortcut, he met him by chance. The eldest princess was rescued when she fell ill, and she didn't know what happened, so she told the truth about the jade pendant.
Zhou Xiuyao raised his eyes when he finished speaking, "That's all?"
Xu Jinwen: "That's right. Then I saw that she woke up and ran away. Who knew that the jade pendant would fall, and she just picked it up."
Zhou Xiuyao's deep pupils fell on Xu Jinwen's drooping head: "Didn't you see her after that?"
Xu Jinwen froze, didn't he?Even this highness knows?
But thinking of the little tyrant's abilities in the future, I'm afraid there is nothing he doesn't know, right?
Just in case, Xu Jinwen said honestly: "...Yes."
A look of satisfaction flashed across Zhou Xiuyao's eyes: "When?"
"Just, just before I met the third prince in Meilin, I found that the jade pendant was missing, so I went to look for it, but the eldest princess was waiting there, and I ran away in fright, and bumped into the third prince in a hurry." Otherwise, It wouldn't happen to be caught right away, and I was scared to death at that time.
"When you rescued her, what did you do?" Zhou Xiuyao squinted his eyes, thinking about everything.
Xu Jinwen didn't think too much about it, and after talking about it, he had nothing to hide, and began to recall with his fingers: "Yeah, I didn't do anything, but she fainted at that time, and I was scared to death. I found the medicine in the sachet I carried with me and fed it to her."
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his eyes: "Oh? How do you know the medicine is in the sachet?"
Xu Jinwen was taken aback: Oops, I almost slipped my tongue.
He rolled his eyes quickly, but he didn't dare to look at Zhou Xiuyao, so naturally he didn't see the humorous smile flashing in Zhou Xiuyao's eyes, let this little thing hide from him for so long, now he's in a hurry? "Why? It's hard for Xu Bandu to answer this point? If so, I think Xu Bandu you..."
"Nothing! I'm definitely not from the eldest princess's side. Your Highness, you have to trust me!" Xu Jinwen scratched his head in a panic.
Zhou Xiuyao had had enough teasing, and hummed: "Okay, Gu will trust you for now. Besides this, is there anything else? Have you met her?"
"Meet it?" Xu Jinwen looked confused, and thought about it carefully: "Does it count as a pat on the back?"
He did nothing but this.
Zhou Xiuyao's originally calm gaze sank: "Slap on the back?"
Xu Jinwen trembled inexplicably: The little tyrant is suddenly so scary. "W-what's the matter? But what happened?"
"Does she know?" Zhou Xiuyao frowned tightly.
"No, I don't know... She was in a coma at the time of the illness." Xu Jinwen was quite sure of this.
Zhou Xiuyao's pupils shrank, and he moved closer, pinching the side of Xu Jinwen's face lightly with his fingertips, covering half of his face, making his eyes look bigger and bigger: "Xu Bandu, you can remember what Gu said next."
Xu Jinwen couldn't nod his head, so he could only blink his eyes: "Your Highness?"
Zhou Xiuyao said: "From now on, I have forgotten all about the back slapping. If someone asks you again, you are not allowed to mention anything else except that you happened to find the medicine to feed you. Do you know?"
Xu Jinwen was confused: "Why, why?"
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his eyes: "What does Xu Bandu think? Could it be that Xu Bandu doesn't know whether a man and a woman will be married or not? Or do you want others to know that you want to be a son-in-law?"
Xu Jinwen's eyes widened, and he was completely frightened: "No, it's not..."
Zhou Xiuyao had already let go of his hand, and he didn't use much strength at first. He rubbed the boy's nice face with his fingertips, and seeing the frightened eyes of the boy, he was finally satisfied: "Otherwise, why do you think Zhou Chengqin keeps repeating his actions?" Came to see you? Empress Jiang intends to marry her out, and chose the Jin Jijiu, but I guess, she probably didn't like it... At this moment, you just appeared, and you just happened to catch her eyes, so you planned to marry her. If someone finds out about you as a backup candidate for the Prince Consort, do you think you can still escape?"
Xu Jinwen was stunned, he didn't want to be a big son-in-law at all.
Meow is scared to death, he just wants to be a leg, what kind of son-in-law, can the son-in-law save the Xu family?Can he save his life?
Seeing Xu Jinwen's panicked expression, Zhou Xiuyao finally tortured him to understand that the other party didn't care about Zhou Chengqin at all, so he was relieved and began to comfort the frightened Miaomiao: "Okay, I'm alone, what are you worried about?"
Xu Jinwen: "...Your Highness, you must keep me. I just want to be His Highness's leg, not my son-in-law."
Zhou Xiuyao was more satisfied, just: "Legs?"
Xu Jinwen quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, you heard it wrong, it's a companion reading...it's really a companion..." Woohoo, can he be any more stupid?
Zhou Xiuyao didn't care about it either. After comforting him, in order to let the little thing remember, he took it to dinner. Then he picked up his clothes and patted Xu Ban who hadn't been relieved by the "big son-in-law" to read, Touching his soft hair with excellent touch, when the fingertips fell on the place where the cat's ears still existed before, he added another sentence: "One more thing, remember clearly...don't drink anymore in the future."
Xu Jinwen raised his head blankly: "Ah? Why?"
Zhou Xiuyao leaned down and got so close that Xu Jinwen held his breath in fright. Did he really do something extraordinary last night?
Or did His Highness really want to kill him earlier, but was moved by his loyalty so he couldn't kill him?
Zhou Xiuyao said slowly: "Who said that in the future, they will obey unconditionally? This is only a day's work. Xu Bandu has forgotten all about it? Are you going to refuse to fulfill it? Huh?"
Xu Jinwen: "...Can't you throw it away?"
There are so many good wines, it's too...too painful not to drink too much.
For a foodie, the beautiful scenery on a good day, with a few dishes of food and a small wine, is the delicacy in the world.
Seeing Xu Jinwen's inner struggle, Zhou Xiuyao's gaze fell somewhere above his head, and Tongren couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "It's not impossible, you are only allowed to drink when you are alone, otherwise... I don't want you anymore."
Xu Jinwen: "...Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise you will never drink it when His Highness is not present!" He didn't want to lose his thigh, so he was not allowed to drink it anyway, and he could drink it in front of His Highness.
Zhou Xiuyao couldn't help itching his fingers, and touched the boy's soft black hair: "Well, think about what Gu said last night, what should I do in the future, don't you need to teach Gu?"
Xu Jinwen stammered: "...Understood."
Zhou Xiuyao went to bathe in the soup pool in the apse.
But he obviously didn't expect that what he said "think clearly" and "what to do in the future" is not allowed to drink alcohol or get too close to Zhou Chengqin, but when it came to Xu Jinwen's side, it was directly transformed into "what should you do as a leg? "How should you express your loyalty as a qualified leg?"
Xu Jinwen drooped his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head, clenched his fist, glanced at the direction of the apse with his small eyes, and touched his chin: His Highness is going to take a bath, but before he goes, he meaningfully told his legs, you What should I do, don't you need to teach me?
Xu Jinwen's eyes lit up: Your Highness is hinting at himself!
So, Xu Jinwen quickly revived with full blood, jumped up, walked around in the inner hall, found something, and went to the apse.
Zhou Xiuyao had already entered the soup pond, with his back facing the palace door, and one hand resting on the side of the pond, with a wine cup on the side. This was his habit. Xiao Shunzi prepared it before he came back every day, and Zhou Xiuyao was holding the cup After taking a sip, the appearance of the little thing being drunk and a jerk flashed in his mind, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, and in the next moment, the door of the palace was pushed open.
Zhou Xiuyao turned his head back, but when he saw Xu Jinwen who ran in with a very cheerful and small step, he was taken aback: "Huh?"
In the next moment, I heard Xu Jinwen's clear and crisp voice very excited, waved the things in his hand, and ran straight towards him: "Your Highness, I'm here to help you take a bath, do you want to wipe your back? Shampoo? Do you want a massage? "
Zhou Xiuyao: "..."
However, Zhou Xiuyao still saw the young man standing at the entrance of the hall with a straight back, a tight face, and big eyes staring at him cautiously.
Zhou Xiuyao's restless heart sank back little by little, his eyes unconsciously showed a touch of tenderness, and even his usually indifferent voice softened a bit: "Why are you standing here? You wake up so early?"
Xu Jinwen's little heart was beating crazily, and Xiao Shunzi didn't look right no matter how he woke up, he suddenly found that Xiao Shunzi looked at him as if he was looking at his master. This... the style of painting is not quite right ?
No matter how Xiao Shunzi explained that this was a normal breakfast, could Xu Jinwen believe it?
Must not be.
The last meal was porridge and side dishes, but this meal suddenly... went from the ground to the sky, what is this fooling around?
Definitely the last meal.
But no matter what Xu Jinwen thought, he couldn't remember that he just wandered into the palace in a soft sedan, why did he run to His Highness's bedroom as soon as he opened his eyes?
Could it be that...he was drunk and went crazy yesterday, and broke into His Highness's bedroom privately?He also offended His Highness, so His Highness...
The more Xu Jinwen thought about it, the more he felt that the little head hanging around his neck was not stable, and Xu Jinwen groaned in his heart, is he going to lose his pretty little face?
He hasn't hugged his thigh yet?
How can you make a fool of yourself!
So, no matter what Xiao Shunzi said, Xu Jinwen couldn't listen to it. In the end, he stood up abruptly and stood guard in front of the palace gate with small steps. Baba's small eyes looked in the direction of the palace gate, waiting for Zhou Xiuyao to come back .
Xiao Shunzi was also confused, what happened to Xu Bandu?Why not eat a good meal?
But no matter how he persuaded, Xu Bandu always looked at him with that expression of "Don't tell me, I already know, even if you keep it from me and want me to have a good meal in the end, but I still want to live". Xiao Shunzi was dumbfounded, did he hear wrong?Is this actually the last guillotine meal?
So, in the end, it became the two standing at the door with dazed faces, one in front and one behind, waiting.
Xu Jinwen was waiting for his heart to calm down a bit. The breakfast was delicious, so he couldn't help but become more courageous. He thought, maybe it was because he successfully hugged his thigh last night, and His Highness rewarded him with a sumptuous meal. Maybe?
But when Zhou Xiuyao came back, seeing Zhou Xiuyao talking to him so "gently", his eyes and tone made Xu Jinwen burst into tears: Sure enough...it was the last meal of beheading.
Zhou Xiuyao didn't get Xu Jinwen's answer, and saw the young boy's body tensed up, his eyes wide open, and his pitiful appearance. Just as he was about to ask something, he saw a big smile on the young man's face, and he ran away enthusiastically. Come over: "Your Highness, you are back~"
Zhou Xiuyao's body froze when he heard the last rippling sound, his phoenix eyes were full of doubts, he raised his eyes, and took a cool look at Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi quickly stood up, and Gu Qiang cried without tears: "Your Highness, the servant really didn't say anything, just, Xu Bandu didn't want to eat it, and insisted on waiting for His Highness to come back... Your Highness, how can the servant explain..."
Zhou Xiuyao glanced at Xu Jinwen's anxious little eyes, then at Xiao Shunzi, raised his hand to stop Xiao Shunzi from continuing, and waved his hand to let Xiao Shunzi go down first.
Xiao Shunzigu hesitated to speak, but he hurriedly saluted and withdrew.
When there were only Zhou Xiuyao and Xu Jinwen left in the hall, Xu Jinwen became even more uneasy: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhou
So, the anxious Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward, gently rolled up his sleeves, and dusted Zhou Xiuyao with the dust that did not exist on his body: "Your Highness, are you tired of reading? Why don't you call me, as a companion , you can bring tea and water to His Highness, beat your legs and rub your shoulders, make sure His Highness wants to drink after drinking, and wants to beat after hammering..."
Looking at Xu Jinwen's appearance, Zhou Xiuyao finally understood what kind of monster this little thing was. He probably forgot all about last night's events at all. Seeing the big change in Xiao Shunzi's attitude, Zhou Xiuyao felt uneasy?What have you figured out?
Zhou Xiuyao looked at the boy who innocently opened his eyes and looked at him obediently, and pointed to the meal not far away: "What do you think is that?"
Xu Jinwen: ...QAQ
Xu Jinwen burst into tears in his heart, what does this mean, Your Highness?
Could it be that you want to let yourself choose?
But if it wasn't for decapitation, wouldn't he personally send his little head to the knife?
He is not so stupid!
So, Xu Jinwen puffed out his chest: "...His Highness's breakfast?"
Zhou Xiuyao took a deep look at him: "Then come here." After finishing speaking, he walked over first and sat down on his seat, and saw the young man trotting over, he arranged the bowls and chopsticks obediently, and walked to Behind him, he rubbed his shoulders. While rubbing, he leaned forward cautiously and anxiously. The young man's crisp voice blew past his ears: "Your Highness, is this strength enough?"
Zhou Xiuyao was stunned, his eyes fell on the front, and all his attention seemed to be taken away by the approach of the young man behind him. He could only clearly feel the other party's breath brushing against his ear, and the breath on his shoulder. hand……
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Xiuyao squinted his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the thoughtful little thing behind him.
Zhou Xiuyao was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Xu companion reading."
Xu Jinwen quickly stood up: "Here!"
Zhou Xiuyao: "Do you know what you did last night?"
Xu Jinwen: Did he really do something unforgivable? "Your Highness, Your Highness... I drank some tea last night, and I don't remember anything. If I did something wrong, can Your Highness... pretend it never happened? From now on, I will be very obedient and listen to Your Highness, Your Highness Let it go east, let it go east, let it go west, it's absolutely unambiguous!"
When it came to the end, Xu Jinwen was afraid that Zhou Xiuyao would not believe him, so he stretched out his hand to assure him, and finally put his hands in his hands, feeling very nervous, and secretly glanced at Zhou Xiuyao fearfully like a little daughter-in-law.
Zhou Xiuyao almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but when he accurately captured one of the lines, a strange light flashed in his deep phoenix eyes: "Oh? Are you really going to listen to loneliness in the future?"
Xu Jinwen: "Yeah, I'm listening, Your Highness, you have to believe in my sincerity."
"That's it, since Xu Bandu said so, Gu will believe it for the time being. Gu has thought about it recently, and there is one less caring servant by his side. From tonight onwards, you will move to Gu's dormitory and serve him personally." Zhou Xiuyao's calm voice sounded slowly, and upon listening carefully, it seemed to carry some deep meaning.
Xu Jinwen was dumbfounded, but he didn't focus on the personal service at all. He only caught one sentence, and his eyes lit up instantly: "From, from tonight... This, isn't this a meal of decapitation?" Woohoo, he doesn't need it died!
Zhou Xiuyao raised his eyebrows, and glanced at him: "Who told you that this is a decapitated meal?"
Xu Jinwen quickly shook his head: "No, no one, I was wrong, Your Highness, you are such a good Highness, how could you cut off anyone's head at will? Hahaha, Your Highness is so kind, I must always follow His Highness, Your Highness will catch up with you Can't drive away!"
Zhou Xiuyao: "What about the personal service?"
Just as Xu Jinwen felt that he had saved his life, he felt that His Highness must have been impressed by his sincerity and enthusiasm, so His Highness stopped killing him, and quickly slapped his chest to express his loyalty: "Of course I am willing! Don't worry, Your Highness, don't say yes!" Personal service, even warming the bed is willing, Your Highness."
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his phoenix eyes when he heard the second half of the sentence: "Would you like to warm the bed too? From Xu Ban's point of view, it is indeed very lonely."
A certain Miao Miao, who was sold and helped count the money, was even more joyful when she heard "desolate heart": "Yeah~"
An imperceptible smile flickered under Zhou Xiuyao's drooping phoenix eyes: "In this case... then, as Xu Bandu wished, the weather is getting colder, and Xu Bandu will warm the couch in the future." It seems... Wait a minute and tell the little thing that he already knows who he is?
After Xu Jinwen heard it, he didn't have to worry about beheading at all, and he was very happy: "Listen to His Highness! Whatever His Highness says!"
Zhou Xiuyao: "Then sit down and eat."
Xu Jinwen quickly stood up straight: "No, dare not..."
Zhou Xiuyao: "Huh? Just now you said to listen to Gu's? Now you won't listen?"
Xu Jinwen quickly sat down: "How could it be?... Nothing!"
Then, after Zhou Xiuyao gave a signal, he began to frantically chop up the rice and ate until his belly was full.
When Xu Jinwen sent Zhou Xiuyao out of the palace with his swollen belly, Xu Jinwen touched his stomach and thought... Hey, why does it always feel that something is wrong?He could already eat with the little tyrant?
Could it be that, in fact, he didn't do something wrong last night, but hugged his thigh a little bit?
After Xu Jinwen looked bewildered, Xiao Shunzi packed up his bags and sent them to Zhou Xiuyao's bedroom.
Xu Jinwen had the feeling of being hit on the head by a large bag of money. He sat in Zhou Xiuyao's bedroom, looked left and right, no matter how he looked, he felt that he had been promoted?
Upgraded from reading companion to confidant?
Otherwise, wouldn't His Highness never allow anyone to enter his bedroom?
Even Xiao Shunzi didn't dare to come in without giving orders, but now he has entered the room!
Xu Jinwen became excited just thinking about it, he stood up and walked around in the dormitory, feeling that His Highness trusted him so much, he couldn't sit still and wait for other legs to squeeze him down, so although Zhou Xiuyao specially ordered Xu Jinwen to rest for a day before go to the study.
Xu Jinwen was still in a state of confusion.
When Zhou Xiuyao and Rong Xuan came out of the study room, Zhou Xiuyao met Xu Jinwen's delighted little face at a glance. The crescent eyes were soft to the point of his heart no matter how he looked at them. The emotions are just fleeting.
He walked out, and Xu Jinwen followed him up.
Hehe, if His Highness has no objection, then he agrees. Going one step further, His Highness has acquiesced in his status as a first-class confidant.
Xu Jinwen took the initiative to ignore the existence of Rong Xuan, this lady is cheating, meow can't play, that's not a confidant, that's a fox.
Xu Jinwen stared at Rong Xuan's figure vigilantly, feeling that this guy's purpose was not pure, and he couldn't let the little tyrant be fooled.
Rong Xuan left the palace last night, but was not in the palace. The secret guards on duty at Yuxin Palace were also changed last night. Except for Xiao Shunzi and Zhou Xiuyao himself, no one knew that Xu Jinwen broke into the forbidden area. .
Xiao Shunzi was on Zhou Xiuyao's side, so naturally he would not take the initiative to tell Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan walked a few steps, always felt that the eyes of the little companion behind him were particularly obtrusive, he turned his head, and met Xu Jinwen's staring gaze, Rong Xuan frowned: "What is Xu Bandu looking at me like that for?"
Xu Jinwen had already looked away when Rong Xuan looked over: "Is there? No, right... Eunuch Rong, you are wrong."
Rong Xuan always felt that this little thing had a strange tone: "Really?"
Xu Jinwen nodded his head heavily, Rong Xuan could only look away, and Zhou Xiuyao, who was walking in front, listened to the conversation between the two. If he didn't know the identity of this little thing, he probably didn't understand it. At that time, Rong Xuan teased him too much, I'm afraid he remembered it now, the little thing can hold a grudge.
"Xu is reading with you, and I will go to the imperial study with you alone." Zhou Xiuyao said.
Xu Jinwen hurriedly yelled, trotted over, and followed behind Zhou Xiuyao, almost pushing Rong Xuan away, and now it's time for a leg-to-leg contest.
Rong Xuan: "..." Why is this little bastard so disgusting?
Xu Jinwen's small eyes flickered: Are you the one who attracts people's suspicion?Meow is showing mercy by not scratching you.
Zhou Xiuyao was afraid that Xu Jinwen would stay in Yuxin Palace and fight Rong Xuan, and since Rong Xuan didn't know Xu Jinwen's identity, he didn't intend to let Rong Xuan know.
Rong Xuan thought that Xu Jinwen was sent by Concubine Xu, Zhou Xiuyao was not very relieved.
It seems that the two of them should be kept together less in the future.
Xu Jinwen followed Zhou Xiuyao to the Imperial Study Room, and after waiting outside the Imperial Study Room, he ordered his lunch and went back.
Xu Jinwen thought it was a coincidence, but when he reached the road, Zhou Xiuyao slowed down, and when Xu Jinwen followed, he seemed to have no intention of asking, "Is there anything you want for lunch?"
Xu Jinwen's eyes lit up, and he felt rather flattered: "!!!" Your Highness unexpectedly!ask him!He really became a golden leg!
Xu Jinwen stared at Zhou Xiuyao with bright eyes, and expressed his loyalty reservedly: "I like whatever your Highness eats."
Zhou Xiuyao walked in front, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched: "Oh? Then Gu will make the decision for you."
Xu Jinwen: ...I'm so touched, Your Highness has already started thinking about the food for the legs.
With such a master, what can I ask for legs!
Just halfway there, Zhou Xiuyao originally wanted to tease a few words, but when he saw the figure in front of him, his pace slowed down, and his phoenix eyes also sank.
Xu Jinwen was following behind Xu Jinwen, but suddenly he was unsteady and almost bumped into him. When he stopped and raised his head, he saw a few people standing not far away, and the leading girl was looking at Xu Jinwen in surprise.
Xu Jinwen: "..." Why is the eldest princess here?
Xu Jinwen quickly hid behind Zhou Xiuyao with a whoosh. The boy's figure had just started to grow and was completely blocked by Zhou Xiuyao, but it was still a few beats behind. Zhou Chengqin had already seen Xu Jinwen.
Although Zhou Chengqin was warned by Empress Jiang earlier, she still didn't really take it to heart.
Although the queen mother said that she is not in a hurry now, she is already seventeen. If it is any other little girl, she would have been engaged and married after Jiji. She is only in poor health, and it has only been delayed for two years, but even if it is not for that Jin Shu, it is possible It's someone else.
The person selected by the queen mother is either helpful to the Jiang family, or has a high status, so Jin Shu is the most suitable person, but even so, it is not something she can look up to. The children of the aristocratic family, could it be that there are already many concubines in the family.
Because of her poor health, she stayed in the dormitory all day and read too many scripts.
I envy the couple who play the piano and sing harmoniously.
She herself thinks that the young master of the Xu family is suitable. She is a princess, and Xu Jinwen is the only one left in the third room of the Xu family. He will be able to enter the palace to accompany her at that time. Even if he goes out to build the princess mansion, he will be alone. She has already asked someone After that, the other party has no big ambitions, so it is very suitable for her.
What's more, the other party saved her, and she also had an inexplicable affection for him.
It's just that Zhou Chengqin was very happy at first, but seeing Xu Jinwen avoiding her when he saw her, he couldn't help showing loneliness in his eyes, so his eyes turned to Zhou Xiuyao, and when he raised his eyes, he met the young and dark Phoenix. Zhou Chengqin trembled in fear because of the cold and sharp breath in his eyes.
Lowering his eyes: "Prince."
Zhou Xiuyao stepped up calmly, completely covering the young man behind him. When he heard the report before, he didn't know that the other party was that little thing, and he didn't feel uncomfortable. Now seeing Zhou Chengqin, those who didn't care before The report flooded into his mind again, making Zhou Xiuyao's breath a few degrees colder: "Sister Huang is very interested."
Zhou Chengqin felt scared when he saw Zhou Xiuyao, and wanted to leave, but wanted to say a few more words to Xu Jinwen to find out what he meant.
Zhou Chengqin thought that if he didn't find someone who was pleasing to the eye, he might be forced to marry Jin Shu after a while. Zhou Chengqin gritted his teeth and managed to overcome his fear of Zhou Xiuyao. Last week, Xiuyao's gaze fell on the quail-like young man behind him.
"Prince, since we met, it's a coincidence. It just so happens that the princess has something to read to Xu Ban alone because of some things. I wonder if His Royal Highness can borrow someone?" Let out a sigh of relief.
It's just that after this sentence was finished, Zhou Chengqin clearly felt that Zhou Xiuyao's eyes became colder, which was too frighteningly cold: "Oh? Let me borrow it from someone else? I'm a lonely companion, don't you think Huang Jie should avoid suspicion?"
Zhou Chengqin forced a smile: "There are people here, and this princess just said a few words. There was a large audience, and she didn't say anything to avoid suspicion. This princess and Xu Bandu went to the gazebo over there to have a conversation. In other words, if His Highness is worried, you can just watch from a distance."
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his eyes: "What if I don't want to?"
Zhou Chengqin's reaction made Zhou Xiuyao extremely displeased, especially thinking of the scene where Maomao went to Taoran Palace to beg for money after Maomao rescued Zhou Chengqin. What do you want to do?
Zhou Xiuyao didn't really pay attention to Zhou Chengqin and Empress Jiang, and his opponent was not these two.
But the other party's information has already been reported.
It's just that he didn't pay attention to it before, but now he was caught out again, and he went through it from top to bottom, and quickly found the key point.
——Empress Jiang not long ago, while looking at candidates for the eldest son-in-law for the eldest princess, she took a fancy to Jin Jijiu.
Jin Shu belongs to that person, so naturally he won't marry the eldest princess, and will find ways to refuse.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but now seeing Zhou Chengqin's gaze on Xu Jinwen, Zhou Xiuyao frowned: Could it be... Empress Jiang has taken a fancy to Jin Shu, but Zhou Chengqin didn't like it this time, so, Who did she see?This little thing behind?
Even though Zhou Xiuyao was only a few months older than Xu Jinwen, but preconceived, Xu Jinwen has always been that cat in Zhou Xiuyao's heart, and that coquettish and cute person has occupied a place in his heart.
The one who just robbed him?It seems that Empress Jiang is too indulgent with her eldest princess.
Zhou Xiuyao bent the corner of his mouth, and Zhou Chengqin trembled at the mocking and cold gaze: "Prince, this princess only said a few words, I picked up the jade pendant Xu Ban read earlier, and now I just give it back to him."
Only then did Zhou Xiuyao remember the jade pendant, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the young man who looked like a quail.
When Xu Jinwen heard the word "Jade Pendant", he let out a groan from the bottom of his heart, why didn't the eldest princess mention it at this time?
What if the little tyrant misunderstood him as a leg and hugged two golden thighs?
Xu Jinwen inexplicably felt that his small neck, which had just grown firmly in the morning, began to sway: Listen to me, Your Highness, this is all a misunderstanding.
If I had known... Forget it again, he would still save it. After all, it is a human life, Your Highness.
Zhou Xiuyao took a deep look at the guilt-ridden young man: "You really lost your jade pendant?"
Xu Jinwen didn't hear the deep meaning in Zhou Xiuyao's words, so he nodded silently.
Just finished clicking, and saw Zhou Xiuyao's phoenix eyes sinking even more, Xu Jinwen didn't dare to say a word: "Actually, actually, don't...it's nothing." It was originally the jade pendant that he carried with him, and he still had several pieces, but at least it was a jade pendant. It has been worn close to the body for a long time, in fact...but compared with the "ruthless" eyes of the little tyrant, the jade pendant is given to the eldest princess!Meow no more wow!
Zhou Xiuyao: "Why not?" Want to leave a token for others?Think beautifully.
Zhou Xiuyao glanced slowly around Xu Jinwen's face, making Xu Jinwen tremble with fear.
Seeing that the effect of the warning had been achieved, Zhou Xiuyao turned around and looked at Zhou Chengqin: "Where's the jade pendant?"
When Zhou Chengqin heard this, he thought that Zhou Xiuyao agreed, his eyes lit up, and he took the jade pendant out of his arms.
Hanging on the fingertips, the emerald green jade pendant glowed with a clear luster under the sunlight, and after turning it around a few times, the word "文" on it was extremely dazzling, and Zhou Xiuyao felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
He tilted his head towards a young eunuch who was unfamiliar to Xu Jinwen behind him: "Go, bring it here."
The little eunuch immediately bowed his body and knelt down in front of Zhou Chengqin, holding his hands together.
Zhou Chengqin was stunned: "No, it's not... This princess wants to hand it over to Xu Bandu." If she just handed it over like this, how will she find a reason to talk to Xu Bandu alone next time, and find a way to test it out?
But Zhou Xiuyao didn't give in at all: "Sister Huang, you probably don't know, there is only one problem."
Zhou Chengqin: "Huh?" Problem, what?
Zhou Xiuyao continued to speak slowly: "Lonely things don't like others to move casually."
Zhou Chengqin didn't understand, and looked down at the jade pendant in his hand: "But, but this is what Xu Ban read..."
Zhou Xiuyao laughed when he heard Zhou Chengqin's words.
It's just that the other party is smiling, but Zhou Chengqin feels a hairy feeling all over his body.
"Xu Bandu is a lonely person, so all his things are naturally lonely, so what's wrong with Gu?" Zhou Xiuyao turned his head and looked at the little thing hiding behind him: "What do you think of Xu Bandu? "
Xu Jinwen was also dumbfounded, and this operation?
He belongs to the little tyrant, so his things belong to the little tyrant too?
Xu Jinwen thought about it seriously, he is now the little tyrant's, and his things are... all right.
Therefore, Xu Jinwen poked his head out from behind Zhou Xiuyao, and nodded seriously: "Your Highness is right, they belong to His Highness, the jade pendant... the princess just return it to His Highness!"
Zhou Chengqin couldn't help but clenched the knot of the jade pendant, feeling inexplicably unwilling...
But now being stared at so closely by Zhou Xiuyao, it's like a ferocious beast resting soundly. If there is anything wrong with her, the other party may go up and bite her neck off.
Zhou Chengqin was taken aback by his own thought, but holding the rope of the jade pendant, he still didn't want to give it.
"Since this is the case, then the princess will be fine next time..." It will be fine to find a time when there is no prince next time.
It's just that Zhou Chengqin just turned around, and with Zhou Xiuyao raising his hand, he quickly surrounded Zhou Chengqin.
Zhou Chengqin's face also turned ugly: "Prince, what are you doing?"
Zhou Xiuyao walked forward, walking slowly, but very coercive: "Sister Huang's words are interesting, if you don't return Gu's things, it's fine, if you want to swallow them in private, come to ask for them, why is it wrong? "
Zhou Chengqin: "You!"
After all, Zhou Chengqin was still afraid of Zhou Xiuyao, seeing the other party approaching step by step, his beautiful phoenix eyes gave Zhou Chengqin a creepy feeling, finally bit the bullet and put the jade pendant in the little eunuch's hand at random, Turning around quickly, the guards quickly stepped aside and ran away with red eyes.
The little eunuch bowed his waist and handed over the jade pendant respectfully.
Zhou Xiuyao didn't even look at it, Xu Jinwen wanted to go forward to get it back, but Zhou Xiuyao grabbed his wrist.
Xu Jinwen looked over suspiciously: "Your Highness?" Didn't His Highness really want to take it for himself?But this jade pendant His Royal Highness likes it?
But Zhou Xiuyao didn't look at Xu Jinwen, and directly ordered the little eunuch: "Take it and clean it again, and change the knot again."
The little eunuch immediately chirped and quickly backed away.
Xu Jinwen looked confused: "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is no need, I look quite..." Clean...
Xu Jinwen's voice faltered when he met Zhou Xiuyao's phoenix eyes, and he didn't dare to speak.
You are the boss and you have the final say, what you say is what you say.
It's just, why do I always feel that His Highness is not very happy.
So Xu Jinwen was brought back to Yuxin Palace in fear all the way. When he arrived in the palace, Zhou Xiuyao landed in front of the table and didn't speak.
Xu Jinwen stood in front of him, drooping his head, feeling uneasy.
Zhou Xiuyao kept silent, Xu Jinwen's little heart was beating wildly: Could it be... His Highness really misunderstood that he hugged both thighs?
"Your Highness..." Xu Jinwen swallowed his saliva, unable to hold back anymore, and spoke first.
Zhou Xiuyao stared at him closely, and slowly opened his mouth: "Shouldn't Xu Bandu explain to Gu, what is going on with this jade pendant?"
Xu Jinwen: It seems that QAQ cannot escape.
Xu Jinwen didn't dare to hide it anymore. For the sake of his great career, he must draw a clear line with the eldest princess. Therefore, Xu Jinwen said that he originally wanted to go to the imperial study to meet Zhou Xiuyao, but in order to take a shortcut, he met him by chance. The eldest princess was rescued when she fell ill, and she didn't know what happened, so she told the truth about the jade pendant.
Zhou Xiuyao raised his eyes when he finished speaking, "That's all?"
Xu Jinwen: "That's right. Then I saw that she woke up and ran away. Who knew that the jade pendant would fall, and she just picked it up."
Zhou Xiuyao's deep pupils fell on Xu Jinwen's drooping head: "Didn't you see her after that?"
Xu Jinwen froze, didn't he?Even this highness knows?
But thinking of the little tyrant's abilities in the future, I'm afraid there is nothing he doesn't know, right?
Just in case, Xu Jinwen said honestly: "...Yes."
A look of satisfaction flashed across Zhou Xiuyao's eyes: "When?"
"Just, just before I met the third prince in Meilin, I found that the jade pendant was missing, so I went to look for it, but the eldest princess was waiting there, and I ran away in fright, and bumped into the third prince in a hurry." Otherwise, It wouldn't happen to be caught right away, and I was scared to death at that time.
"When you rescued her, what did you do?" Zhou Xiuyao squinted his eyes, thinking about everything.
Xu Jinwen didn't think too much about it, and after talking about it, he had nothing to hide, and began to recall with his fingers: "Yeah, I didn't do anything, but she fainted at that time, and I was scared to death. I found the medicine in the sachet I carried with me and fed it to her."
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his eyes: "Oh? How do you know the medicine is in the sachet?"
Xu Jinwen was taken aback: Oops, I almost slipped my tongue.
He rolled his eyes quickly, but he didn't dare to look at Zhou Xiuyao, so naturally he didn't see the humorous smile flashing in Zhou Xiuyao's eyes, let this little thing hide from him for so long, now he's in a hurry? "Why? It's hard for Xu Bandu to answer this point? If so, I think Xu Bandu you..."
"Nothing! I'm definitely not from the eldest princess's side. Your Highness, you have to trust me!" Xu Jinwen scratched his head in a panic.
Zhou Xiuyao had had enough teasing, and hummed: "Okay, Gu will trust you for now. Besides this, is there anything else? Have you met her?"
"Meet it?" Xu Jinwen looked confused, and thought about it carefully: "Does it count as a pat on the back?"
He did nothing but this.
Zhou Xiuyao's originally calm gaze sank: "Slap on the back?"
Xu Jinwen trembled inexplicably: The little tyrant is suddenly so scary. "W-what's the matter? But what happened?"
"Does she know?" Zhou Xiuyao frowned tightly.
"No, I don't know... She was in a coma at the time of the illness." Xu Jinwen was quite sure of this.
Zhou Xiuyao's pupils shrank, and he moved closer, pinching the side of Xu Jinwen's face lightly with his fingertips, covering half of his face, making his eyes look bigger and bigger: "Xu Bandu, you can remember what Gu said next."
Xu Jinwen couldn't nod his head, so he could only blink his eyes: "Your Highness?"
Zhou Xiuyao said: "From now on, I have forgotten all about the back slapping. If someone asks you again, you are not allowed to mention anything else except that you happened to find the medicine to feed you. Do you know?"
Xu Jinwen was confused: "Why, why?"
Zhou Xiuyao narrowed his eyes: "What does Xu Bandu think? Could it be that Xu Bandu doesn't know whether a man and a woman will be married or not? Or do you want others to know that you want to be a son-in-law?"
Xu Jinwen's eyes widened, and he was completely frightened: "No, it's not..."
Zhou Xiuyao had already let go of his hand, and he didn't use much strength at first. He rubbed the boy's nice face with his fingertips, and seeing the frightened eyes of the boy, he was finally satisfied: "Otherwise, why do you think Zhou Chengqin keeps repeating his actions?" Came to see you? Empress Jiang intends to marry her out, and chose the Jin Jijiu, but I guess, she probably didn't like it... At this moment, you just appeared, and you just happened to catch her eyes, so you planned to marry her. If someone finds out about you as a backup candidate for the Prince Consort, do you think you can still escape?"
Xu Jinwen was stunned, he didn't want to be a big son-in-law at all.
Meow is scared to death, he just wants to be a leg, what kind of son-in-law, can the son-in-law save the Xu family?Can he save his life?
Seeing Xu Jinwen's panicked expression, Zhou Xiuyao finally tortured him to understand that the other party didn't care about Zhou Chengqin at all, so he was relieved and began to comfort the frightened Miaomiao: "Okay, I'm alone, what are you worried about?"
Xu Jinwen: "...Your Highness, you must keep me. I just want to be His Highness's leg, not my son-in-law."
Zhou Xiuyao was more satisfied, just: "Legs?"
Xu Jinwen quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, you heard it wrong, it's a companion reading...it's really a companion..." Woohoo, can he be any more stupid?
Zhou Xiuyao didn't care about it either. After comforting him, in order to let the little thing remember, he took it to dinner. Then he picked up his clothes and patted Xu Ban who hadn't been relieved by the "big son-in-law" to read, Touching his soft hair with excellent touch, when the fingertips fell on the place where the cat's ears still existed before, he added another sentence: "One more thing, remember clearly...don't drink anymore in the future."
Xu Jinwen raised his head blankly: "Ah? Why?"
Zhou Xiuyao leaned down and got so close that Xu Jinwen held his breath in fright. Did he really do something extraordinary last night?
Or did His Highness really want to kill him earlier, but was moved by his loyalty so he couldn't kill him?
Zhou Xiuyao said slowly: "Who said that in the future, they will obey unconditionally? This is only a day's work. Xu Bandu has forgotten all about it? Are you going to refuse to fulfill it? Huh?"
Xu Jinwen: "...Can't you throw it away?"
There are so many good wines, it's too...too painful not to drink too much.
For a foodie, the beautiful scenery on a good day, with a few dishes of food and a small wine, is the delicacy in the world.
Seeing Xu Jinwen's inner struggle, Zhou Xiuyao's gaze fell somewhere above his head, and Tongren couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "It's not impossible, you are only allowed to drink when you are alone, otherwise... I don't want you anymore."
Xu Jinwen: "...Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise you will never drink it when His Highness is not present!" He didn't want to lose his thigh, so he was not allowed to drink it anyway, and he could drink it in front of His Highness.
Zhou Xiuyao couldn't help itching his fingers, and touched the boy's soft black hair: "Well, think about what Gu said last night, what should I do in the future, don't you need to teach Gu?"
Xu Jinwen stammered: "...Understood."
Zhou Xiuyao went to bathe in the soup pool in the apse.
But he obviously didn't expect that what he said "think clearly" and "what to do in the future" is not allowed to drink alcohol or get too close to Zhou Chengqin, but when it came to Xu Jinwen's side, it was directly transformed into "what should you do as a leg? "How should you express your loyalty as a qualified leg?"
Xu Jinwen drooped his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head, clenched his fist, glanced at the direction of the apse with his small eyes, and touched his chin: His Highness is going to take a bath, but before he goes, he meaningfully told his legs, you What should I do, don't you need to teach me?
Xu Jinwen's eyes lit up: Your Highness is hinting at himself!
So, Xu Jinwen quickly revived with full blood, jumped up, walked around in the inner hall, found something, and went to the apse.
Zhou Xiuyao had already entered the soup pond, with his back facing the palace door, and one hand resting on the side of the pond, with a wine cup on the side. This was his habit. Xiao Shunzi prepared it before he came back every day, and Zhou Xiuyao was holding the cup After taking a sip, the appearance of the little thing being drunk and a jerk flashed in his mind, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched, and in the next moment, the door of the palace was pushed open.
Zhou Xiuyao turned his head back, but when he saw Xu Jinwen who ran in with a very cheerful and small step, he was taken aback: "Huh?"
In the next moment, I heard Xu Jinwen's clear and crisp voice very excited, waved the things in his hand, and ran straight towards him: "Your Highness, I'm here to help you take a bath, do you want to wipe your back? Shampoo? Do you want a massage? "
Zhou Xiuyao: "..."
