When Baozhu saw the prince coming, he added another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then stepped aside.
When Fu Yuanxiao raised his head, he realized that Xiao Ji was coming. He glanced behind him and saw no one else. Then he looked back at him and asked, "Husband, how long will that girl stay in the palace?"
Xiao Ji picked up the food with his chopsticks for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Fu Yuanxiao and said warmly: "She will stay in the palace temporarily. If you don't like her, just ignore her and just treat her as a guest."
Although Fu Yuanxiao didn't know why Xiao Ji asked her to live in the mansion, it was just a temporary stay and she would leave soon.
"Husband, let's eat. After eating, I will show you my new bird."
Xiao Ji nodded, "Yeah."
Fu Yuanxiao took her favorite dish. Baozhu made steamed pork for her tonight. On her birthday, her eldest sister taught her how to cook it.
Xiao Ji watched Fu Yuanxiao burying his head in eating, taking small bites but not slowly.
He looked at the food in front of him. It was different from what he usually ate.
Chu Yuwan built a small kitchen, and now they cook their own meals every day. Did they hire a new cook?
After dinner, Fu Yuanxiao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then took Xiao Ji to see her newly bought bird.
Lanterns are hung on the corridor, and a birdcage hangs in the middle of each lantern. By the light of the lantern, the birds in the birdcage can be seen.
Fu Yuanxiao led Xiao Ji to the corridor, pointed to the birdcage above his head and said, "Husband, this is the bird I bought."
When Xiao Ji heard this, he looked over and saw a fluffy thing huddled up in the birdcage. Even in the dim light, he found that the thing in the birdcage didn't look like a bird.
She said yes.
It’s normal for little girls to like fluffy things.
"so cute."
Fu Yuanxiao's peach blossom eyes formed a beautiful arc, "I bought them because they were cute."
Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and looked at her. The light shone on her cheek, forming a silhouette with very soft lines.
His eyes fell on her lips, thinking of the kiss a few days ago, which was interrupted before he could taste it carefully.
He actually felt a sense of regret.
"Xiao'er."
Fu Yuanxiao shifted his gaze from Xiaoniao to Xiaoji, looking at Xiaoji who was a head taller than himself. He saw Xiaoniao from that angle.
"Is something wrong, husband?"
Xiao Ji took her hand, led her to sit down on the corridor, and then pulled her into his arms. She stood face to face so that he could see her face better.
"Xiao'er, do you like me?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the handsome face so close. In the dim light, it looked gentler than in the daytime.
"like."
Xiao Ji knew that the love in her eyes was not love between men and women, and she didn't understand it, but it didn't matter, as long as he was the only one in her eyes.
"I also like Xiao'er."
Fu Yuanxiao was very happy when he heard this. He came closer and kissed him on the cheek.
She didn't know if it was because of the shadow from last time that she didn't dare to kiss Xiao Ji's mouth.
Xiao Ji chuckled. Before he kissed her, she always wanted to kiss him.
After the kiss, she became less courageous.
"You don't dare to kiss anymore?"
Fu Yuanxiao raised her chin and said, "No, I'm still young and not suitable for kissing."
Xiao Ji smiled when he heard this. It was indeed the last time that he scared her.
He was obviously very cautious, but she was still scared.
His slender fingers caressed her delicate cheeks, all the way to her chin. Her chin was a little soft, reminding him of a boiled egg.
The pads of his fingers came to her tender lips, and he asked softly: "Will you marry me that night?"
Fu Yuanxiao wanted to shake his head, but found that his chin was fixed and he couldn't shake his head.
"I know that Xiao'er is willing."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed the lips that were so close.
Fu Yuanxiao opened her eyes wide and found that Xiao Ji had her eyes closed again, but she was a little scared when she thought of Xiao Ji's behavior of eating.
Nervously, she clutched Xiao Ji's sleeves with both hands. After waiting for a long time, Xiao Ji didn't look like that day, but looked like a kitten.
It feels very much like a kitten licking the palm of your hand.
After a while, Xiao Ji let go of her. When he opened his eyes, he saw Fu Yuanxiao's round peach blossom eyes. He was obviously frightened.
"Why don't you close your eyes?"
Fu Yuanxiao said: "You can't see your husband if you close your eyes."
Xiao Ji: "..."
"So, you kept your eyes open?"
Fu Yuanxiao nodded, "Yes, I saw that your husband had his eyes closed."
Xiao Ji: "..."
Isn’t it common sense to kiss with your eyes closed?
But considering that she is a little fool, how can she know any common sense?
It's okay, he teaches slowly.
"Next time I kiss you, close your eyes, do you understand?"
Fu Yuanxiao asked: "Why?"
Xiao Ji said patiently: "You have to close your eyes when kissing, do you understand?"
"Then we can't see each other."
"..."
Xiao Ji pulled her to sit down and continued to explain: "You don't need to see each other, as long as you have each other in your heart."
Fu Yuanxiao nodded in understanding.
Xiao Ji didn't kiss her like last time this time, for fear of scaring her again, so it was better to do it step by step.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Xiao Ji sent Fu Yuanxiao back to the house and went to the study.
Within a few days, everyone in the palace and the capital knew that King Yu had brought a beautiful young girl with him when he was suppressing bandits.
King Yu was a romantic man and had a good reputation. It was nothing new to bring women back to his house.
After he retired from the court, the prince and ministers also teased Xiao Ji about this incident.
"Prince Yu is so beautiful and blessed that even when he suppresses bandits, he can meet beauties."
"This is called a hero saving a beauty, and the beauty gives her body to him. This is a good story."
"That's right. The princess is stupid and doesn't understand anything, let alone emotions. She can't wrong Prince Yu."
When Xiao Ji heard these words, a cold light flashed through his eyes like a deep pool. He looked at the minister who said these words, it was Shangshu Hai.
Hai Shangshu is the staff of the Seventh Prince.
"Hai Shangshu is right, Princess Yu is stupid. No matter how much my fourth brother likes her, he can't give up on the beauty." Xiao Yan came over and looked at Xiao Ji with a smile.
"Fourth brother is famous for his romantic nature, how could he change his nature for a little fool?" Xiao Min laughed after saying this, with a strong sense of ridicule.
At this moment, Eunuch Li walked over and looked at Xiao Ji, "Prince Yu, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study."
Xiao Ji nodded when he heard this, "I will go right away."
"Excuse me."
Xiao Ji glanced at the few people who made sarcastic comments, then averted her eyes and followed Eunuch Li to the imperial study.
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Ji's leaving figure and laughed louder: "I heard that the concubines in Fourth Brother's house are all as beautiful as flowers, especially the newly rescued Lin Luo, who has a pure face and is so pitiful. , it’s very endearing, no wonder it makes fourth brother so obsessed with her.”
"The fourth child has always loved women. You don't know that, and you don't know if his body can bear it." Xiao Min said.
"Uncle Eight just loves beauty. He spends all his time wandering around the flowers. He emptied his body at a young age."
"It seems that the fourth child has followed the same path as the eighth uncle."
