Lu Yan only took a few steps before being blocked by a figure.

She was startled, and almost screamed, but the man covered her mouth and nose again, and then she saw who it was, she couldn't help but blushed, and called softly: "Young Master Zhou..."

"Where did Lu Yan come back from?" Zhou Yu stroked Lu Yan's hair with a loose hand: "I went to pay my aunt a moment ago, but I didn't see you."

Lu Yan's face flushed with shock from this action: "Go... go to the imperial dining room to get some pastries."

"Oh? Then why are you chatting here with Her Highness's attendant?" Zhou Yu had a smile in his eyes, and the words in his mouth were a little unclear: "But you forgot what I explained? "

After hearing this, Lu Yan's blushing face turned pale, and she hurriedly saluted and said: "I don't dare, but in the past few days, the empress did not summon outsiders, only Zhou Shangshu came, but only After a cup of tea, I left."

"Uncle? He came to see his aunt..." Seeing Lu Yan's nervous appearance, Zhou Yu took a slight step back, so that Lu Yan could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lu Yan, since you are so friendly with the celebrity in front of His Highness, why don't you ask her to help you leave Chengqian Palace?" The smile on his mouth became wider: "Then His Highness will definitely listen to Xi Chao's words." Gotta go in."

After hearing this, Lu Yan knelt down tremblingly: "My lord, slaves can't, you can't go to the Jinmo Palace..." How dare she implicate others in the wrong things she did herself... If it is because of the son again Instigated, to do something sorry for the princess, how could she face Miss Chao'er.

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Yu pinched her chin, and the charm in his eyes was even more charming, like a monster tempting to commit crimes: "You are already mine, are you still afraid that I will treat you badly?" As he said that, he reached out and took off the veil around Luyan's waist, seeing her body trembling again.

"Don't worry, I won't force you." Zhou Yu chuckled, seeing her eyes growing more frightened, she let go: "Go back quickly."

……

Xi Chao went back to Jinmo Palace and saw that there was no one in the bedroom, so he guessed that Her Highness the Princess was in the study.Then he turned around and walked to the study.Just when he walked to the door of the study and was about to knock on the door, he heard the voice of conversation coming from inside.

"This time about Wei Guo's birthday celebration, Zhou Di didn't express his opinion. There must be some reason. You sent a letter to Mr. Xue, and asked to investigate further."

"Yes, Your Highness, Lord Xue also asked about the Minister of the Household Department?" A slightly unfamiliar female voice rang out, but Xi Chao was sure that this was definitely not from Jinmo Palace.

"The servant of the household department..." Xiao Rongjin's voice lowered slightly, and Xi Chao didn't mind it. He wanted to talk about something serious, so he wanted to leave, but he heard a familiar name: "Xi Fengshu, the servant of the household department, has already For four years, he..."

father?Your Highness, why did they mention father's name?

Xi Chao was a little apprehensive, but knew that this was not what he should have heard, so he forced himself to step up and leave.

In the courtyard outside the study, there is a stone table and bench hidden under a green bamboo.Because it was early spring, the color of the bamboo leaves became greener and greener, and there were already some fallen leaves on the ground.

Xi Chao picked up a leaf and played with it in his hand. His father loved bamboo very much and planted a leaf in the backyard. At that time, he stood by the bamboo grove and said to the three brothers and sisters: "Bamboo is hardy to cold, and it is still green even in nine cold days. Only in this early spring season, for the germination of new leaves, they fall off one after another."

"The same is true for people. They must be indestructible for what they love, and they are willing to die for their own hearts." Xi Fengshu's voice seemed to ring in his ears again. Xi Chao twitched his nose slightly, and the leaves in his hands had been crushed from slipped between fingers.

"Chao'er, why are you standing here?" Xiao Rongjin's voice came from behind, without any waves.

Xi Chao turned around, just in time to see the woman walking past her in salute, she turned her eyes back to Xiao Rongjin, looked at her, and said softly: "Your Highness, I'm homesick."

Xiao Rongjin froze for a moment, she walked to Xi Chao, the gorgeous and beautiful red palace dress was particularly dazzling under the green bamboo: "What's the matter?" She stretched out her hand to stroke Xi Chao's hair, but she shrank her head slightly: "Could it be I am not allowing you to eat snacks, are you angry?"

"I know His Highness is doing it for my own good..." Xi Chao also regretted his actions just now, but he was just thinking wildly and showed His Highness such an emotional disturbance.She tiptoed lightly, and touched Xiao Rongjin's hand that hadn't been retracted: "It's not angry."

When Xiao Rongjin encountered this little movement, her heartbeat suddenly stopped by half a beat.

She reached out and pulled Xi Chao: "Then tell me, what are you thinking?"

"My father." Xi Chao looked at Xiao Rongjin with clear eyes without any impurities.

Xiao Rongjin let go of Xi Chao's hand, sat on a stone bench beside him, looked at Xi Chao's appearance at this moment, and suddenly chuckled softly: "But did you hear my conversation with Xue Qing?" She said, the corner of her mouth Has already evoked a slight smile, Chao'er is so frank, what should I call her...

"Xue Qing is Xue Ling's younger sister. Because she was sick and weak, she was sent to be raised by her mother. In the palace, she can be regarded as half a master." Xiao Rongjin said softly, "Do you still want to hear the next reason?"

Xi Chao hesitated.

Even if Xi Chao wanted to hear it, Xiao Rongjin would not continue talking.She didn't want Xi Chao to be involved in these matters. Seeing that she looked distressed now, she stopped teasing her. She thought about it secretly and said: "Master Xi is a clean official, so the emperor will not treat him badly."

Xi Chao stared at her blankly, Xiao Rongjin's sitting height was just right enough for her to hug Xiao Rongjin's thin shoulders, but she did the same: "Your Highness, what if Chao'er wants to hear it?"

Xiao Rongjin let Xi Chao surround her and did not refuse. Hearing her childish murmur, she chuckled lightly: "If you want to hear the story, you should go to that girl Zhiqin, I don't know how to tell it." Pushing Xi Chao away again: "You are getting more and more unruly, why don't you hurry up and pour tea for this palace."

Xi Zhao went away listlessly, leaving only Xiao Rongjin behind with a smile, looked at the clump of green bamboos, and remained silent.

In the past few days, the girl named Xue Qing came here very diligently. Every time she entered the study, she would secretly spy with Xiao Rongjin behind closed doors. Medical book, when I couldn't sit still, I went to the door of the study to see if the conversation between the two was over.

On this day, Xue Qing was talking about the Zhou family with Xiao Rongjin, she suddenly paused, and then continued: "In a few days, the Wei State Mission will enter Beijing, news from outside the palace said that Zhou Yu went out of the city two days ago , I must have gone to matchmaking first, but he was really treacherous, and our people failed to follow."

Xiao Rongjin heard this, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly glanced outside the door: "Chao'er?"

"Damn this servant, you actually disturbed Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare me!" A woman's begging for mercy came from outside the door, but it was definitely not Chao'er. Xiao Rongjin's expression turned cold. The court lady in green clothes: "Who are you, how dare you break into the princess's study without authorization!"

That woman was Lu Yan, and she was already trembling with fright at this moment: "Your Highness, please forgive me, this servant just came here to find Miss Chao'er..."

Xiao Rongjin gave her a cold look: "What are you looking for with Chao'er?"

"Miss Chao'er once gave the servants wound medicines. The servants were grateful to Miss, but they didn't know how to repay her. Only one hand embroidering barely caught her eyes, so she embroidered some patterns and wanted to show the lady. Who knew that she accidentally broke into this courtyard and disturbed everyone. Your Highness, this servant deserves to die..."

Xiao Rongjin had already recognized the identity of this woman, but she felt inexplicably displeased, so she said coldly: "You are grateful, but you shouldn't disobey the rules. But since you are not from Jinmo Palace, you should The palace also has no right to teach you, it is better for the imperial concubine to teach you..."

"Your Highness, please forgive me, Madam, Madam, she will kill the slaves! Please don't do it, Your Majesty!" Lv Yan cried like this, and there was already a lot of commotion, and someone went to inform Xi Chao.

When Xi Chao arrived at the scene, he was shocked to see this scene, and hurried to Xiao Rongjin's side: "Your Highness, please spare Lu Yan."

Seeing her begging for mercy for Lu Yan, Xiao Rongjin lowered her eyes, showing no emotion.

Seeing this, Xi Chao felt a little uneasy, hesitating uncomfortably for a moment, and slowly raised his head to look at Xiao Rongjin, but saw her beautiful eyes with a certain calmness: "Since Chao'er begged for you, let's let this matter go." Without looking at anyone, he turned and went straight into the study.Xue Qing followed behind and saw Xi Chao foolishly looking at Xiao Rongjin's back. Why, the atmosphere between these two people is so...unusual.

Seeing that the door of the study room was closed again, and the servants also retreated, Xi Chao quickly went to help Lvyan up: "Are you okay?"

"The maid is fine, that is, I am causing trouble to Miss Chao'er." Lu Yan's eyes were already filled with tears, but she tried not to let them fall: "The maid just wanted to send something to Miss... "As he said, he took out a piece of excellent brocade from his bosom, the corners of which had been finely sewn into a veil, on which was embroidered a begonia flower with a stem, and the stitches were neat and delicate.

"I saw you seeing this flower in the hundred gardens that day, and seemed very happy, so I thought you should like it." Lu Yan wiped away her tears, and handed the handkerchief to Xi Chao.

Xi Chao took the veil and was full of thoughts for a moment, he could only say: "Thank you..."

Xi Chao sent Lu Yan out, always feeling a little uneasy, went back to Jinmo Palace, asked Zhiqin only to find out that Xue Qing hadn't left yet, she didn't know where to go for a while, she sat in the front hall for a long time, and then Thinking of Xiao Rongjin's calm eyes that would look at her, it felt like a needle pricked her heart for a moment, an indescribable pain.

She knew that Xiao Rongjin had a big thing in mind, even more important than her own life.She doesn't need the antidote for Xueshang, she doesn't need the ordinary tranquility, but she wants to do that thing.

Be it Xue Ling or Zhou Yu, they were said to be the names of the prospective son-in-law, but none of them could enter her heart.She thought back when she first entered the palace, Her Highness the princess looked so far away, she suddenly had the illusion that she was the only one standing alone, apart from the whole world.This delusion made Xi Chao flustered. She stood up and ran straight to the princess's study, regardless of the two people who were discussing, and pushed the door straight in. Then she looked at the surprised two people panting, and took a deep breath. He said in one breath: "Your Highness, I, I..."

Xiao Rongjin glanced at Xue Qing, she bowed and retreated, and closed the door for the two of them by the way.

"Your Highness, I, I want to be with you!" Xi Chao paused, gritted his teeth and stepped forward to hug Xiao Rongjin: "It doesn't matter if you say I'm rude or childish, even if you punish me for not eating snacks for three months. , I just want to tell Your Highness, don't ignore me, don't be lukewarm to me anymore, no matter what you do, I want to be with you!" She looked up at Xiao Rongjin, her eyes darkened, and then she lowered her eyes again. Head to the ground: "You can punish me, at worst, you can punish me, anyway, I don't care about anything today!" The tone of this broken jar sounded interesting and angry.

Originally, Xiao Rongjin was a little displeased because of the green smoke, but he never thought that it would cause such a big reaction from Xi Chao.

Xiao Rongjin stretched out her hand and slowly touched her head that was resting on her chest: "Accompany me for everything? Isn't Chao'er married yet?" She was just joking, but she never thought that the little head in her arms would suddenly freeze and fall into a trap. There was silence.

The author has something to say:

The babies seem to be very distressed about the cool green smoked mushrooms... what to do, people sometimes have to make some choices (stepmother also chooses, meow)

Come, come, let Xiao Xichao come out and show you how cute he is...

Xi Chao: Your Highness, there is a strange Shushu here→_→

Thank you, Mr. Dousha, the landmine with a low voice, hug me!Trojan horse!
