princess is fine

It was already early morning when the group returned to Xuanzhou City.

In order not to disturb the people, Xiao Rongjin sent down an order to order a group of officers and soldiers to temporarily station outside the city, and only the leading few entered the city of Xuanzhou.Even so, Xie Chongyi still packed up the station in this moment, letting Princess Changle and the Imperial Envoy rest.

On the other side, a man dressed as a servant also drove away from the city shortly after they entered the city. On the edict to leave the city, it was the official seal of Xuanzhou prefect.

It wasn't until Xie Chongyi bowed down and went back home that Xi Feng's written expression became a little heavy.

He looked up at Xi Chao: "I heard from Elder Sun that you went to Dongshan?"

Xi Chao originally thought that her father should discuss the situation in Xuanzhou with His Royal Highness first, but she never thought that the first sentence she asked was herself. Relieved, he opened his mouth and explained: "At that time, I was close to Xuanzhou, and I had seen similar files, so it was more convenient than others..."

Xi Fengshu pondered for a while, and said: "Father didn't mean to blame you." There were some complicated emotions in his eyes, but he couldn't say anything under such circumstances, so he could only simply say: "In the future, you will be responsible for everything. Be careful, don't put yourself in danger."

Xi Fengshu always played the role of a strict father on weekdays, and rarely said warm words, but at this time, although these words were just simple exhortations, they caused a trace of warmth to flow in Xi Chao's heart.She walked up to Xi Fengshu, grabbed his sleeve, and said in a soft tone, "Father, don't worry, I will take care of myself and not let you and mother worry."

After all, Xi Fengshu couldn't bear the cold face towards the youngest daughter, so he could only sigh slightly: "You are so capable now, who else can you listen to besides Sun Lao? I can't control you after all. It's just this After the incident, if you have time, go home, your mother, she has been thinking about you."

Xi Chao hastily responded a few times, and said, "I'll go home when news comes from Big Brother Gu."

When Xi Fengshu saw her answer, he was relieved a lot, and said, "I've been tossing around for a long time tonight, go back and rest."

After finishing speaking, his gaze turned to Xiao Rongjin, who was sitting in the first seat drinking tea quietly.

Knowing that they still had something to discuss, Xi Chao didn't say anything more, bowed to Xiao Rongjin and then withdrew.

Xi Fengshu was about to explain to Xiao Rongjin what happened after he came to Xuanzhou, but he heard Xiao Rongjin ask: "Xi Chao, hasn't she been back to Jian'an for a long time?"

"In the past three years, I only went back for the New Year and the birthdays of my ministers and my wife." Although Xi Fengshu didn't know why Her Royal Highness asked such a question, he still answered truthfully: "I will never see her in Jian'an at other times."

Xiao Rongjin was slightly stunned for a moment, then nodded and said after recovering, "Master Xi is also relieved."

"Xi Chao's temperament is quite similar to that of my father, and she is not a person with a stable nature." Xi Fengshu paused before continuing: "Plus with the company of an old friend, I think she will not have any troubles."

Xiao Rongjin thought of the old Sun who lived idle in the capital, and thought of Gu Tongzhou and others whom he met a few days ago, but he quite agreed with Xi Fengshu's words on this matter.

Xi Fengshu felt a little uneasy, and finally asked: "Did Chao'er cause Your Highness trouble?"

"Why do you ask such a question?" Xiao Rongjin asked.

"Then I don't know why His Highness asked about the little girl?" Xi Fengshu hesitated.

Xiao Rongjin smiled and said: "Not only did Xi Chao not cause trouble this time, but he also made great contributions. When I return to Beijing, I will definitely ask her to reward her like my father. If I can't find anyone to receive the reward, wouldn't it be troublesome?" Oolong?"

When Xi Fengshu heard this, his face was not happy, but he said in a sincere tone: "If His Highness really wants to reward the little girl, it is better not to tell the Holy Spirit about it. Chao'er, she doesn't want to be with... and the capital again." What's involved."

Xiao Rongjin was silent for a while, and said inexplicably, "That's not necessarily the case."

Xi Feng showed a hint of surprise in his writing, but Xiao Rongjin skipped the topic and turned serious: "Master Xi, I don't know the situation over there at Lanxi..."

……

After tossing around for too long in the first half of the night, Xi Chao returned to his room and fell asleep in a trance, but he was not very peaceful.It wasn't until the dawn broke that he became dizzy and lost consciousness.

When he woke up, it was already bright in the room. Xi Chao sat up, rubbed his eyes, and was confused for a while before he realized that he and Xiao Rongjin had left Zhang's courtyard, and they were already in Xuanzhou City.

Xi Chao hurriedly got up and went to the window to take a look at the sky. He was lamenting why he had slept for so long when he felt a sense of hunger in his stomach. He couldn't help but rubbed his stomach, then hurriedly dressed, washed and left the room.

After Fang walked a few steps, he saw a beautiful woman in yellow clothes approaching. It was Zhiqin whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Seeing her coming out of the house, Zhiqin quickly stepped forward: "Miss Chao'er, are you up?"

"Sister Zhiqin!" Seeing Zhiqin at this moment, Xi Chao felt really happy in his heart, and hurriedly took her hand and said, "Sister Zhiqin, Your Highness said that you will stay in Lanxi, and you are worried that there will be people out there." What's the matter, seeing you today, His Highness must be relieved."

The smile on Zhiqin's face was teasing: "Oh, it turns out that Miss Chao'er is not worried about my safety, but worried that I will make His Highness worry."

After hearing this, Xi Chao blushed and quickly explained: "I, I didn't mean that..."

"I know, but just to tease you." Zhiqin continued: "I saw you in Dongshan a few days ago, and saw that you advanced and retreated with restraint, and you were not surprised. I thought you were not as young as you were back then. I didn't expect Now when I meet His Highness, I'm still so... silly." Probably thinking that what she said hit the point, Zhiqin couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing a few times.

Xi Chaocai didn't care about her laughing at him, and when she heard her mentioning His Highness, he opened his mouth and asked, "Speaking of which, where is Your Highness now?"

Zhiqin's eyes were even more smiling, full of "I'm not wrong", but she still replied: "Master He from Lanxi County has also come to Xuanzhou, and His Highness went to the mansion with Master Xi early in the morning. Ya, I'm afraid this matter will be resolved soon."

Xi Chao said "Oh" before nodding his head again: "It's fine if it's settled. It's just Dongshan..."

"On the Dongshan side, Mr. Xi has already sent more people. If we hurry up, we will have news before tonight." Zhiqin gently stroked Xi Chao's shoulder: "The rest will be left to His Highness and Master Xi. Aren't these two people you trust the most?"

When Xi Chao heard this, the faint melancholy in his heart suddenly disappeared. Also, since His Highness and father are here, these matters will definitely be handled properly, and the people of Dongshan will definitely get an explanation.

Thinking of this, Xi Chao also had a smile on his face: "I'm thinking about it." However, as soon as she relaxed, the hunger in her belly reappeared, and she could only look at Zhiqin pitifully.

"At this time, Miss Chao'er should be hungry by now. Go to the front hall and wait for a while. I'll order to bring some food." Seeing her like this, Zhiqin also thought that Xi Chao must be hungry already.

Xi Chao nodded hurriedly, and asked again: "Sister Zhiqin, do you..."

"How can you eat snacks when you get up, Miss Chao'er should bear with it." Zhiqin said with a smile: "Otherwise the servant girl will sue His Highness at night."

Xi Chao curled his lips, thinking of Xiao Rongjin's face, he gave up the idea.

But looking at the back of Zhiqin going away, Xi Chao suddenly felt as if time had flown back, as if he had returned to the days when he was still in the palace, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, those good things worth remembering, in fact, have always been there.

Three years ago, she followed Elder Sun to leave Jian'an City. Apart from wanting to travel and gain knowledge, she also wanted to temporarily escape from the place that made her lose her mind.After walking far away, Xi Chao suddenly found that he was used to the busy days outside, and when he really returned to Jian'an, he couldn't go back.

Her father said that although she was born and raised here, she has been running around in the city since she could walk, never knowing how to be safe.Now that the wings are stiff, I am even more reluctant to go back.

But she knew in her heart that she was afraid that if she went back and saw that person, she would stand on a high position of honor, and she could only watch from a distance among the crowd.Or if they meet by chance, she has to keep a distance to salute and say hello like everyone else, and listen to the man say "Excuse me" indifferently.

No matter what the situation is, it is not what she wants to meet.

She had thought countless times, if they hadn't reunited in Dongshan, what would have happened between her and Xiao Rongjin... Although, the current situation is still very unclear, Xi Chao suddenly thought of this fact.The thoughts in his mind immediately turned in a different direction. Thinking of those two kisses that were ambiguous or even incomplete, Xi Chao's thoughts began to rippling...

It wasn't until Zhiqin came to ask her to eat that Xi Chao came back to his senses, and passed away after answering.

Zhiqin stood aside to serve Xi Chao soup, but when she saw her bowing her head to eat, she suddenly let out a gasp.

Xi Chao stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Zhiqin: "What's wrong?"

"The hairpin on your head..." Zhiqin hesitated for a moment before asking, "Did Your Highness give it to you?"

Xi Chao stretched out his hand to caress the jade hairpin on his head, remembering that Xiao Rongjin had said before that it belonged to her in the first place.

Could it be that there is some story in the meantime... and this story must have something to do with her.

Zhiqin put the soup bowl in her hand beside Xi Chao, sat next to Xi Chao, glanced at the hairpin on her head, pondered for a while, and then said: "This hairpin was bought by Your Highness three years ago."

"On the fifth day of the sixth month of that year, His Highness ordered Zhihua to go out of the palace, and asked her to go to Xi's house, just to give away this hairpin. But Zhihua hadn't left the palace yet, and was stopped by His Highness again." Zhiqin seemed to want to Looking at the scene at that time, there was still some indescribable sadness on her face: "His Highness stood under the locust tree in the courtyard for a long time that day. We have never seen His Highness look so distraught. Although she didn't say anything , but we are very clear in our hearts, Your Highness, she has always missed you very much."

The author has something to say:

This chapter was written very smoothly.Presumably because this part of the plot is coming to an end?

Also, I caught bugs in the previous chapters, and only updated this chapter today...

Thank you for nicknamed Baobao and Dousha Jun’s landmines, okay!
