The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 22 Princess Jinfeng laughed very loudly

The crystal bead curtain hangs down, and when the light falls on it, it immediately glows with sparkling light.

Princess Goldfinch sat behind the beaded curtain.

She was leaning lazily on the beauty's couch. When she heard footsteps approaching, she just raised her eyelids and said, "Here we come."

Xue Qingyin thought she was talking to herself, but when she looked up, she saw between the shadows behind the bead curtain... there was another person!

The man stood beside Princess Jinque, with an indifferent temperament.

After Princess Jinque's voice sounded, the man looked towards Xue Qingyin.

"Greetings to Your Highness the Princess." Xue Qingyin bowed and saluted, then paused and then said tentatively: "And Your Highness Prince Xuan?"

Princess Jinfeng waved her hand and said: "Roll it up."

Immediately, a palace maid came forward and hung the bead curtain with a golden hook. Only then did the person behind the curtain come into Xue Qingyin's eyes.

Princess Jinque is a tall woman with a bun and a beaded comb. Standing up, I saw a large group of hibiscus flowers embroidered with gold and red threads on the skirt.

Graceful, luxurious, and dazzling.

And next to her...

It is King Xuan!

Princess Jinque seemed a little tired. She blinked slowly and asked, "Miss Xue was talking to the fourth princess just now?"

Xue Qingyin responded yes.

"I can't tell that Miss Xue has such a good relationship with her." Princess Jinque said in a lukewarm tone, making it impossible to detect the joy or anger in her tone.

But the more she spoke in such a tone, the more it explained her emotions.

Xue Qingyin replied without thinking: "Well, it's rare for someone to be so stupid."

Princess Jinque froze for a moment.

After a long while, she burst out laughing: "You are indeed a rare idiot. But I didn't expect that Miss Xue would dare to do this..." She lowered her voice: "The following is my fault."

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "Hey, the four princesses are holding knives on my neck. I just said something stupid, so what does it mean?"

Princess Jinque suddenly became curious, took a step forward and said, "Since she has a knife on your neck, how can you still dare to play with her?"

"That's why I dare. It's better to be exposed in front of others with a knife than to hide behind your back."

"It makes sense." Princess Jinque took two more steps forward and said in a heavy voice: "Interesting!"

Princess Jinque asked again: "Is the fourth princess trying to torture you in any way?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head again: "How dare she? His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is here."

Princess Jinque couldn't help but cover her lips and smile, as if she was extremely curious, she quickly turned to look at the cold King Xuan.

"I wonder what role His Royal Highness Prince Xuan played in this?" Princess Jinque asked.

King Xuan raised his eyelids and stared at Xue Qingyin, but did not speak.

He didn't expect that she was so energetic and not as weak as a flower.

……No.

Thinking about that day at the poetry meeting, when she accidentally broke into someone else's private meeting, she became surprisingly calm.

The determination in her body was always there, but it was less visible in front of others.

"Why aren't you talking? Could it be that I can't know?" Princess Jinque became even more curious.

"It's just that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is kind-hearted. When he saw me walking with the Fourth Princess that day, he couldn't bear to see the Fourth Princess bullying me, so he gave an order." Xue Qingyin replied obediently.

Princess Jinque suddenly laughed out loud: "When did His Highness Prince Xuan have such leisure?"

Xue Qingyin thought for a while, who would have too much flattery anyway?

She said: "Because His Highness Prince Xuan is a gentleman of Yuanqing Yuji."

Princess Jinque was startled and suddenly laughed even louder.

Xue Qingyin was confused.

What's wrong?

Something is wrong?

Earlier at the poetry meeting, the man named "Wen Hui" next to King Xuan asked her to keep something personal, and King Xuan said that his behavior was despicable. Later, when she was flying a kite, she almost died. It was King Xuan who took her back and invited the imperial doctor to see her. Not to mention that he later used Princess Jinque's name to send her back to her home, which could be regarded as protecting her innocence.

It was the same in the palace that day... It was precisely because King Xuan knew the behavior of the fourth princess that he gave the order.

Isn't this the behavior of a gentleman?

Princess Jinque slowly stopped laughing and said, "Bring Miss Xue a chair."

Xue Qingyin thanked her and sat down, graciously, and asked casually: "Why don't His Highnesses, Prince Xuan, take a seat?"

Princess Jinque said: "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is such a busy man. He has to leave as soon as he comes."

King Xuan then spoke and said coldly: "Your house is boring."

"Why is the shooting so boring?" Princess Jinfeng paused, "Oh, that's right, how can it be as enjoyable as when you ride horses to kill the enemy?"

With that said, she turned to Xue Qingyin and asked: "Has Miss Xue played this before?"

Xue Qingyin shook her head.

King Xuan's voice sounded at the same time: "She can't play."

Princess Jinque turned her head: "Oh? You know again? Why can't you play?"

This time it was Xue Qingyin who answered, "It's easy to die."

Princess Jinfeng was startled: "What?"

Xue Qingyin then told what happened that day when she flew the kite.

Princess Jinque repeatedly smacked her lips and said, "No wonder you borrowed my name that day... So that's what happened." After saying that, she looked at Xue Qingyin and couldn't help but reveal a trace of regret.

"I also thought that your temperament is really compatible with me. Let's go play together later. What a pity it would be to not be able to gallop freely on the horse." She said.

Xue Qingyin is always a lazy person, so it's not a big regret.

She felt that before she traveled through the book, all her energy and spirit had been exhausted in the workplace.

After traveling through the book, it would be best if she could be an idle daughter and lie still.

At this time, a palace maid came in and whispered: "Your Highness, the guests are all here."

Princess Jinque pinched the round fan in her palm and said: "Then let's go. Miss Xue can't play cue. If she gets bored later..."

Before she could think of a new entertainment project.

Xue Qingyin blurted out: "I will play with His Highness Xuan Wang?"

Princess Jinque was immediately amused again: "Okay, okay. Then you play yours, I will leave first."

Princess Jinque said she was leaving, and she really left!

There were really only Xue Qingyin and Xuan Wang left, and a room full of palace servants.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Xue Qingyin suddenly felt that she had made a mistake.

Xuan Wang was a man of few words.

As for her, she was not familiar with him after all.

Before, I talked to He Songning about marrying King Xuan. It was just a boast, who wouldn't? It was different when it was really in front of him.

It was just like when I saw a handsome guy online and dared to leave a message saying that I was smitten with him.

But in front of her, Xue Qingyin felt that she didn't dare to say a word. That's right, she didn't dare to say a word.

Just when the atmosphere was getting more and more stagnant.

King Xuan's voice suddenly rang out, and he said, "The Qinglu Manor on the outskirts of the city belongs to the Xue family?"

Xue Qingyin responded, "Yes." After saying that, she suddenly realized, "Did Your Highness go to the manor?"

King Xuan said lightly, "The guests went, but the host was not."

Xue Qingyin thought to herself, I didn't expect that, you said you would go!

Didn't Du Hongxue say that you are particularly difficult to invite, even harder than going to heaven?

"It's Qingyin's fault for neglecting Your Highness." Xue Qingyin said hurriedly.

King Xuan seemed to want to find her to settle accounts one by one today.

King Xuan opened his mouth again and uttered a few words in a cold voice: "Only a few camellias?"

Xue Qingyin was stunned.

He really accepted the flowers!

But it sounds like...it seems...Your Highness is not very satisfied?

Xue Qingyin said: "Of course not, Your Highness's kindness to me, I remember it in my heart. That's why I want to invite Your Highness to visit the manor..."

Speaking of this, she herself fell silent.

After all, King Xuan went there and found that he was gone.

Xue Qingyin turned the tide: "Let's sit down and play chess?"

She said: "I will accompany Your Highness to kill time."

You see, this is also considered a contribution, right?

A little emotion flashed across King Xuan's eyes.

He looked at Xue Qingyin, and he didn't expect how she turned the topic so naturally.
