Prince Yu's Mansion.
Cold courtyard.
"Oh my God, it's snowing!"
Rou'er got up early and saw the snow outside the window. She couldn't help but feel excited and felt extremely happy.
Nanyuan Kingdom is located in the southern part of this continent. It has a mild climate and is like spring all year round. It rarely snows in winter, so seeing snow is as rare as gold in the ground.
I quickly put on my clothes and went out. I saw four little girls, Achun and Axia, pointing at something in a low voice:
"look……"
"really weird……"
She walked over: "What's going on?"
"Sister Rou'er is here, come and take a look!" A Dong hurriedly pulled her and trotted to the corner of the house.
I saw a dark figure standing in the snow in the yard, with his sleeves rolled up, rolling the snow with his pale hands, and building a chubby snowman.
The weather was cold and windy, and his hands were so cold that they turned red. Goose-feather-like snow fell on his black hair, and he coughed two or three times from time to time.
"Cough...cough."
Rou'er's brows furrowed: "Why are you doing this, Your Majesty?"
Ah Qiu whispered: "Sister Rou'er, I heard that the prince has been infected with cold for the past two days and has been so severe that he fainted. What if we wait..."
Axia: "He came here early in the morning to pile snow, saying that the young lady liked it."
"Miss hasn't gotten up yet, do you want to go and persuade her..."
Rou'er made an immediate decision: "It's cold and it's better to sleep. Don't disturb the young lady. Let the young lady sleep until she wakes up naturally."
"yes."
No one dares to violate it.
It is an indisputable fact that the prince treated the young lady extremely badly.
Half an hour later.
Ye Jinxiao woke up.
Although it was cold and suitable for sleeping in, Chun Jing was still on his mind. The first thing he did when he got up was to take out his identity jade pendant and ask Ye Er to take it and go to Shuntian Mansion to bail Chun Jing out.
When I was dressing up, I kept hearing the sound of coughing outside, thinking that one of the maids had caught the cold. When I opened the window, I saw a big, fat snowman piled outside the window.
The man held an orange and set it in the snow.
The snowman has a nose and is lifelike.
"Ahem! Ahem..."
He kept coughing under the pressure of his throat, and his thin back was shaking slightly and was teetering.
Ye Jinxiao lazily leaned against the window and said, "Don't wander around in my yard on such a cold day."
Chu Yuci heard the sound and immediately looked over.
"Xiao'er, you wake up... cough cough."
The man's cold face turned pale with the cold, and the slender knuckles were red, but the joy in his eyes was like a furnace, overflowing with light:
"Are you concerned about me?"
"It's okay, I'm not cold. You always loved snowing in winter in previous years. I still remember you in the winter three years ago..."
Ye Jinxiao interrupted: "What I mean is that if you fall ill in my yard and the palace pursues you, I don't want to take responsibility."
The expression on Chu Yuci's face froze slightly.
The light in his eyes gradually dimmed: "Nanyuan has mild seasons, and it rarely snows in the past few years. Xiao'er, I want to make you happy."
The last time it snowed was three years ago.
The last time was even longer, like eight years ago.
In the winter three years ago, she was laughing and running around in the snow, wearing a fiery red skirt that fluttered, proud and dazzling. Unfortunately, Liu Mingyue said she was cold, so he only glanced at her and left in a hurry.
Now that I think about it, he is missing too much.
"make me happy?"
Ye Jinxiao hugged Mrs. Tang and sat in the warm room.
"Why do you want me to be happy?"
"You are my princess. You saved me and gave me your body. It's my duty to be good to you."
Besides, he still felt guilty about her.
Ye Jinxiao finally understood: "You feel guilty."
"If you don't get my forgiveness, your past seven years will be like a joke. You were nice to me because you wanted to use me to cover up the mistakes you made on Liu Mingyue."
In fact, all he did was just to make up for the original owner.
In the final analysis, it was still his machismo mentality that caused him to fail, and he couldn't pass the test in his heart.
"That's not the case, Xiao'er, I like you."
No one can force him to do anything.
He was good to her, even if he died for her, he was willing to do so.
"Chu Yuci, I really don't need your compensation. If you really feel guilty, just compensate me with some money."
Ye Jinxiao said:
"The things of the past cannot be retained as yesterday. If you bring up the worries again, let them pass."
Besides, it was the original owner he wanted to make amends with, not her.
She was not the one who spent the whole night with him.
"When will we enter the palace?"
Chu Yuci raised his head in shock.
Enter the palace?
He looked slightly happy: "Are you finally willing to go with me to visit Grandpa Huang?"
Ye Jinxiao spat out a few words calmly: "In the face of the Holy Spirit, I ask for an order to reconcile."
He was shaken all over and immediately took seven or eight steps back. His tall body was crumbling and his face was bloodless.
"Xiao'er, can you give me a chance? I don't believe that there is no trace of a seven-year relationship left. I don't believe that you are really so heartless!"
Ye Jinxiao discovered that he was a man who really wanted to save face and suffer.
After Liu Mingyue 'rescued' him, he responded to Liu Mingyue's requests and took care of her in every way, in order to show the dignity of this life-saving grace and the dignity of his identity.
She saved him, and he wanted to repay her kindness in the way he wanted.
In his eyes, being repaid by him seems to be something that honors one's ancestors?
"Why are you holding on to me and not letting go?"
Ye Jinxiao frowned:
"I've told you no less than ten times. I really don't need you to repay your kindness, and I won't pursue the past matters anymore. I just want a letter of separation, so that we can be happy."
Why hold her captive?
Could it be that by locking her in this cage in Prince Yu's Mansion, he would be able to achieve great results?
I really don't understand what is going on in his mind.
Chu Yuci's heart ached like a knife.
Looking at this distant and indifferent face, it seemed as if there was a gap between them that could never be crossed.
How cold she is now, how hot she was back then.
He didn't know what the emotion was, but he felt his throat was sore and the corners of his eyes were sore. Every word in her mouth was like a knife carving out flesh.
He doesn't want to let go.
Apart from this paper engagement, once you let go, you will lose her completely.
But even if I try to keep her, she is like quicksand on my fingertips. I have already decided to leave. No matter how hard I try, I can't hold her.
At this moment, he realized how humble and passive he was when he loved someone.
"Xiao'er..."
He caressed his chest, shaking, "So this is how I feel, Xiao'er..."
When she loves someone, a casual word from her or an indifferent gesture can cut into his heart like a knife.
But looking back, he actually hurt her no less than a hundred times in the same way.
After seven years of accumulated hurt, what qualifications did he have to obtain her forgiveness in just a few days?
"Can you give me a year?"
He reluctantly raised his eyes, his eyes pale: "After one year, if you don't fall in love with me, I will allow you to be free, okay?"
Ye Jinxiao frowned and was about to refuse.
"Xiao'er, just treat it as the friendship we have known each other for seven years, my only request!"
Ye Jinxiao didn't have much patience to spend with him.
As long as you carry the identity of Princess Yu, you will not be free.
He counted on his fingers: "Not a year, fifty days at most."
From three hundred and sixty days, it was reduced to fifty days, and they couldn't even get a fraction of the price. They bargained hard.
"Why?"
"How can there be so many reasons? Aren't you very confident? Don't you have the confidence to make me fall in love with you within fifty days?"
She pursed her lips with a sneer, like a judge from hell, counting the days, and when the time comes, he will be sentenced heavily.
She wasn't giving him hope.
Instead, he was giving him an ultimatum.
Chu Yuci staggered forward and begged: "Half a year, Xiao'er, how about half a year?"
"I'm impatient."
Ye Jinxiao coldly refused: "Either fifty days, or don't blame me for causing trouble in Prince Yu's palace, you can choose one yourself."
The corners of his eyes turned red: "Why fifty days?"
"Fifty days later it's New Year's Eve. It's the end of the year and it's such a good day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Naturally, I have to go home for a reunion dinner instead of looking at your cold face at Prince Yu's Mansion."
His breath was suffocated, and he almost fainted as if he had been hit hard.
On New Year's Eve, when thousands of families are reunited with lights, every household gathers together to watch the New Year, set off cannons, watch fireworks, and welcome the New Year.
It was such a festive holiday, but she didn't want to be with him.
In her mind, she had already removed him.
He is no longer the only choice she holds in her heart...
