Gardenia was stunned to be woken up by him. Before she could react, she heard him asking in a low voice.
"Your Highness, will you stay here or return to the palace?"
The little girl made the decision almost without thinking.
"Stay here and sleep!"
Yan Xi curled her lips, took the initiative to pick up the umbrella in the carriage, got out of the carriage first, and then stood outside waiting for her.
The young men who were originally prepared to watch the excitement subconsciously looked over when they heard the sound of the carriage. When they saw him standing in the rain changing clothes, they couldn't help but look mocking.
They said, why did he take the initiative to go to the banquet of His Highness the Third Prince? It turned out that he was going to another branch.
Even the clothes were changed.
To say that he is different from them is not to rely on that face to confuse people.
But before he could speak, he stretched out his hand in the direction of the carriage, and then the curtain was pulled open by a soft white hand.
The little girl in a purple dress jumped out of the carriage and naturally leaned into his arms.
Because she had just returned from overseas, Gardena's black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, and her dress was not as gorgeous as that of an ordinary noble lady, but more sophisticated.
Coupled with that casual expression, he actually has a different kind of handsomeness.
The young men hiding in the flower building were stunned, a little doubtful of their own eyes.
Why is the princess here?
Just as he was thinking about it, the two of them were already walking this way.
Yan Xi closed her umbrella, her eyes briefly stayed on everyone for a moment, she lowered her head slightly and said something to the little girl.
Gardenia nodded in agreement, not seeing the Crown Princess's airs at all.
Until the two people left, the remaining group of people looked at each other.
"Your Highness can't come back just for him, right?"
"I didn't hear that the Crown Princess was going back to Beijing before, and judging from her appearance, she probably hasn't even gone to see the emperor yet, so..."
"This is really, really jealous."
However, the atmosphere in the room was not as good as everyone imagined.
Gardenia sat at the low table, choosing her favorite pastries, and then raised her chin with a bossy look.
"You tell me."
Yan Xi responded obediently, sat down opposite her, then lowered her head and spoke softly.
"I am not from the capital, but my father was killed by His Highness the Third Highness, so I decided to enter the Flower House..."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips, carefully raised his eyes to observe the little girl's expression, and continued to explain.
"I did it on purpose today and was not bullied by that group of people."
Gardenia wrinkled the tip of her delicate nose and motioned for him to look at the clothes she had changed over there. It was written all over her face. Is this what you said is okay?
Seeing that he looked unnatural, he spoke quite openly.
"Okay, so what did you do to her today?"
"...I took some powder."
After saying that, the little girl didn’t need to ask any more questions, so she silently explained it herself.
"It affects her in some ways."
Gardenia blinked and didn't react for a moment.
"which aspect?"
Yan Xi didn't really want to discuss the matter with her, so she chose to change the subject.
"Nothing. Does His Highness still need to go there when he comes back this time?"
As expected, the little girl's attention was diverted, and she shook her head after thinking for a few seconds.
"I'm not going, I'm not needed for the time being."
As for what happens next——
Even if I have to leave, it will be with my little brother!
Thinking of this, she held her cheek with one hand and asked a little depressedly.
"So when are you going to marry me? Isn't it just for revenge? I can help you!"
There is no need to get entangled between an unrelated imperial sister and the younger brother she has adopted.
Although he guessed that she would be on his side, his heartbeat still accelerated uncontrollably when he heard it with his own ears.
"Now."
I caught it on the high-speed rail. There may be something wrong with it. I will correct it later.
