Ever since Xie Yao knew that his master was having fun setting up a stall, he asked Xie Chi to let him go, so he had been accompanying Fu Yuanxiao during this period.
Fu Yuanxiao's mood these days is completely different from the previous days, especially in recent days, the smiles on his face have become less and less.
Xie Yao chased after him with doubts.
When Fu Yuanxiao returned to the palace, he immediately went to the study to look for Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji's study is on the south side, and there is a long way to the study from the back door.
After Xie Yao caught up with Fu Yuanxiao, he asked worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Fu Yuanxiao kept walking, still running at a trot. He lifted up his skirt, revealing a pair of red embroidered shoes that matched the red dress.
Xie Yao saw that she kept firing. If nothing happened, would she run away if she was busy?
"Master, if you tell me something, who might be sure that your subordinates can help you?"
Xie Yao wanted to say that he ran very fast and could help her.
"You can't help."
"Master doesn't tell me, how do I know my subordinates can't help?"
Fu Yuanxiao: "..." For the first time, I found that Xie Yao was a bit verbose.
"You can't help." After Fu Yuanxiao said that, he speeded up.
Xie Yao was helpless. If you didn't tell me, how did you know I couldn't help?
On the corridor, a red figure kept running.
Followed closely behind was a black figure, tall and tall, in sharp contrast to the petite figure.
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the long corridor in front of him and was almost there after passing through the Moon Cave Gate.
Fu Yuanxiao just wanted to ask Xiao Ji if he married Tang Wanqing because he wanted to fight for power?
Passing through the moon cave door, you can see the study not far away.
Fu Yuanxiao couldn't help but quicken her pace. When she reached the door of the study, she had never run for so long. She breathed for a while and then looked at the study. The door was closed.
She took a deep breath and stepped forward to push the door open.
"Princess, the prince is not in the study."
Fu Yuanxiao heard a familiar voice and looked back, and saw Xu Yan standing behind him. Xu Yan had always been like this after marrying into the palace for so long, respectful and with a slight smile on his lips, which was different from everyone else in the palace.
"Mr. Xu, where has the prince gone?"
Xu Yan smiled and said: "The prince has gone out to do something. Does the princess have anything to do with the prince?"
Fu Yuanxiao asked again: "When will the prince come back?"
Xu Yan said: "This, I don't know. If the princess has anything to do with the prince, she can tell the subordinate. When the prince comes back, the subordinate will tell you."
Fu Yuanxiao looked towards the study and stared at the closed door for a while, then looked at Xu Yan, "I'll talk about it later when the prince comes back."
Xu Yan smiled when he heard this, "After the prince comes back, his subordinates will send someone to inform the princess."
"Yeah." Fu Yuanxiao glanced back, turned and left.
Only then did Xie Yao realize that Fu Yuanxiao was here to see the prince. What good could the prince do? Nothing.
After Xie Yao complained in his heart, he immediately chased after him.
Xu Yan looked at Xie Yao behind Fu Yuanxiao. He was a little different from his brother Xie Chi and was too impetuous.
Xie Yao looked at Fu Yuanxiao who was walking in front, and quickened his pace to catch up, "Master, what do you want from the prince?"
"It's nothing." Fu Yuanxiao said absently, thinking about what the storyteller said.
"It's nothing, why did the master come all the way back?" Xie Yao glanced at Fu Yuanxiao and saw that she was a little absent-minded. There must be something important, but the master didn't want to tell him.
Fu Yuanxiao turned to look at Xie Yao, "You are more lively than your brother."
Xie Yao was startled when he heard this. He has known since he was a child that he and his brother have different temperaments. Xie Chi is calm and he is more noisy.
This is the first time someone said that he is more lively than his brother. Is this a compliment?
"master."
"What I want to say to the prince is between husband and wife. How can I tell you?"
Xie Yao was stunned when he heard this.
"So, don't ask anymore." Fu Yuanxiao withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards Chu Yuwan.
Xie Yaomin licked his lips. There were so many women around the prince, and he had no master at all. He didn’t like the prince either. Sooner or later he would...
Xie Yao looked at Fu Yuanxiao's back and quickened his pace to catch up.
Before Xiao Ji entered the prime minister's mansion, he had various plans in mind and was fully confident.
But before things are settled, anything is possible.
Therefore, the moment Tang Xiangguo nodded, the matter was settled.
Tang Xiangguo didn't agree just because Tang Wanqing married Xiao Ji.
Instead, after Tang Wanqing married Xiao Ji, Xiao Ji's abilities made Tang Xiangguo give it a try.
As long as Xiao Ji becomes the emperor, his daughter will definitely be the queen.
As for the idiot princess, Tang Xiangguo didn't take it seriously.
This is also the reason why Tang Xiangguo wanted to take a gamble.
Xiao Ji came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the midday sunshine happened to shine on him. He slightly squinted his phoenix eyes, and his dark eyes were still as firm as ever.
"Get ready to go to Huanglin Mountain."
"It's the prince." Liufeng got on the carriage neatly. After Xiao Ji got on, he gave the order and drove the carriage out of the city.
The sun was setting in the west, and Chu Yuwan was shrouded in golden afterglow.
Fu Yuanxiao lay on the window sill, looking at the afterglow shining on the sycamore tree. Xiao Ji had gone out early in the morning and had not come back yet.
I don't know what he is busy with.
"Xiaoxiao?"
Fu Yuanxiao heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Fu Yinshuang walking in with a smile.
"Sister."
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"
Fu Yinshuang walked over with a smile on her face and sat down next to Fu Yuanxiao.
"I have nothing to do, enjoy the scenery." Fu Yuanxiao moved his body, lying on the low table with his arms, looked at Fu Yinshuang, and suddenly asked: "Sister, do you have a good relationship with Prince Chen?"
"That's it." Fu Yinshuang is just dawdling around now, probably waiting to find a puppy and enjoy life after becoming a widow.
However, Xiao Che is not dead yet, so she can only wait.
Fu Yuanxiao became even more curious after hearing the vague answer.
"What is just like that? Good or bad?"
Fu Yinshuang looked at Xiaoxiao's attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, and shook her head helplessly.
"That's what I mean, it's okay." Xiao Che treated her well and didn't make her angry. If there wasn't a princess in the palace, she would have lived a more comfortable life.
With Li Yingying here, there are always a few days a month where there is noisy.
"So that's it." Fu Yuanxiao didn't know what the eldest sister was thinking. If her life was just getting along, does that mean that the relationship was not a good one?
If it's good, how can it be considered adequate?
The book says that it is not like this to work together to help each other.
Fu Yinshuang noticed something was wrong with Xiaoxiao, as if she had something on her mind.
"Xiaoxiao, are you worried? Talk to eldest sister."
Fu Yuanxiao wanted to say that he had nothing to worry about, but he did have a lot of doubts in his heart. Looking at his eldest sister, he didn't know if she knew.
After hesitating for a while, she asked: "Sister, have you ever heard of the story about the capture of the heir in Kowloon?"
"I've heard of it." After Fu Yinshuang finished speaking, a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Xiaoxiao, how did you know?"
Fu Yuanxiao told Fu Yinshuang the stories he heard in the teahouse these days.
"I've been listening to it for a few days, and I don't know when I will hear the ending."
Fu Yinshuang was stunned for a long time after hearing this, feeling that Xiaoxiao seemed to know something.
She thought that Xiao Ji was vying for the throne, and Xiao Xiao had always been curious about what dangerous things Xiao Ji was doing.
Do you think of Xiao Ji?
What if Xiaoxiao and Xiaoji talk about it? With Xiaoji’s crazy temper, will it happen...
Fu Yinshuang couldn't help but become worried, and when she looked at Xiaoxiao, she clearly had something on her mind.
"Xiaoxiao, Jiulong's victory over the legitimate son is just a story, just listen to it, don't think too much about it."
Fu Yuanxiao originally wanted to ask the eldest sister, but hesitated after hearing what she said.
The eldest sister knows more than she does. She didn't even think of Xiao Ji after hearing this story.
Did she really think too much?
In the dead of night, Xiao Ji came back from outside.
Xu Yan bowed to greet her, "Your Majesty, the princess will come to see you in the study today."
Xiao Ji asked: "Do you know what it is?"
Xu Yan said: "The princess didn't say anything, but my subordinates saw the princess running and sweating profusely. There should be something urgent."
When Xiao Ji heard this, he paused and raised his head to glance at the moon above his head. At this hour, Xiao'er had already fallen asleep.
Xiao Ji turned around and walked towards Chu Yuwan.
Chu Yuwan was more biased. At first, because Fu Yuanxiao was a fool, the courtyard he arranged was biased.
Even now, he has no regrets about placing Fu Yuanxiao in Chu Yuwan.
This is a great place for her to live.
Xiao Ji raised his head and looked at the plaque above his head, which read Chu Yuwan.
He strode in. It was quiet, except for the chirping of insects.
There was a candle burning in the room, and through the window, a faint glimmer could be seen.
Xiao Ji walked to the closed door, pushed it open and walked in, using the faint light to walk to the king's bed.
When passing by the couch, I caught a glimpse of the shimmering beads. After a closer look, I found that they were a pair of embroidered shoes. The beads inlaid on the embroidered shoes were luminous beads, as big as pearls.
No matter how small a luminous pearl is, it is worth a hundred times as much as a pearl.
No princess has such luxurious embroidered shoes.
"Xiao'er?"
Xiao Ji took a step forward and called out. Seeing that she didn't respond, he guessed that she was asleep.
"Why did you fall asleep on the couch again? It's so cold at night, and what should I do if I get the cold again?"
Xiao Ji still remembers how uncomfortable she felt when her fever persisted after she contracted the cold.
He bent down and picked up Fu Yuanxiao, who was lying on the couch, and looked down at the person in his arms. He tilted his head and put it against his chest. He was glad that he was here, otherwise, he would be sick again.
Xiao Ji carried Fu Yuanxiao to the bedside, laid her flat on the bed, and pulled up the quilt on the side to cover her.
She was like a child when she fell asleep.
Xiao Ji sat down by the bed and looked down at her sleeping face. She didn't know if she was waiting for him to sit on the couch.
As a result, he fell asleep before he could wait.
Xiao Ji thought in her heart that if it hadn't been delayed for a while, he would have come back earlier and wouldn't have left her waiting to fall asleep.
Quiet indoors
Xiao Ji sat by the bed and you looked at the sleeping person for a long time, thinking that you still had things to deal with tomorrow. When you got up to leave, you found that your sleeve had been grabbed by Fu Yuanxiao at some point.
He stretched out his hand to pull out his sleeves, but was afraid of waking her.
It's really late tonight.
Xiao Ji hesitated for a while, then sat down on the bed again, letting her hold his sleeves.
The next day, Fu Yuanxiao woke up and saw the sky was bright. He looked at the familiar top of the bed and was stunned for a long time.
"Why do I remember that Xiao Ji was playing the flute on the couch last night? Why did I sleep on the bed?"
When Baozhu saw that the time was almost up, he opened the door and walked in, fearing that what happened last time would happen again.
When he walked to the bed, he saw that Fu Yuanxiao was already awake, and said with a smile: "Girl, are you hungry? I will wait for you to change clothes and wash up."
Fu Yuanxiao felt a little confused and glanced at Baozhu who was changing his clothes. His soft voice was full of doubts, "I remember being on the couch last night, and I was in bed as soon as I woke up."
Bao Zhu smiled when he heard this, "Girl, are you sleepy? It wasn't the girl who walked in and climbed into the bed. Could it be that someone carried her up while she was asleep?"
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the couch not far away, and his eyes fell on the embroidered shoes beside the couch. He lowered his head and glanced at the embroidered shoes on his feet. They were new shoes brought over by Baozhu.
The embroidered shoes were beside the couch, so she didn't climb into bed by herself.
Bao Zhu reminded with a smile: "Girl, go have breakfast, don't get hungry."
"Yeah." Fu Yuanxiao looked away and walked out.
After Germany finished breakfast, Fu Yuanxiao walked out with a handkerchief.
I didn't see Xiao Ji last night. He should be in the house today, right?
When Fu Yuanxiao came to the door of the study, before she could step forward, she saw Xu Yan walking towards him with his usual slight smile on his lips.
"Is the princess here to see the prince?"
Fu Yuanxiao said: "Well, is the prince in the study?"
Xu Yan replied: "Your Majesty went out early in the morning."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard that Xiao Ji had left early in the morning, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He glanced at the closed study door, then turned and left.
Xu Yan looked at Fu Yuanxiao's leaving figure. Didn't the princess know that the prince didn't go to Chu Yuwan last night?
However, Xu Yan did not ask this question.
Don't get involved in the prince's affairs blindly.
He still understands the principle of good intentions leading to bad things.
Tang Wanqing was carrying the food box and saw Fu Yuanxiao's figure in the distance. Judging from the direction she was walking, she should be coming from the study.
Is Fu Yuanxiao going to see Xiao Ji?
Tang Wanqing's Fu Yuanxiao had gone far, so he took the food box to the study.
When they reached the door of the study, they learned from Xu Yan that Xiao Ji was not there.
It seemed that Fu Yuanxiao didn't see Xiao Ji either.
When it was time to hold the lamp, Baozhu walked in happily.
"Girl, the prince is back."
Baozhu waited on Fu Yuanxiao personally. She had been waiting for the prince to come back since yesterday, but he didn't see him.
So today, she specially spent some money to let the servants in the front yard notify her as soon as they saw the prince coming back.
When Fu Yuanxiao heard this, he immediately stood up and ran out.
Bao Zhu smiled when she saw this. She was smart enough to get the news as soon as possible.
She also trotted to catch up.
When I was holding the lantern, the wind suddenly blew up, and the red lantern lit up in the palace was swayed left and right by the wind.
There was a sound of wind in my ears.
Fu Yuanxiao ran all the way to the study door and was about to push the door open when she saw a scream coming from not far away. She paused with her outstretched hand and walked over with doubts.
The road paved with bluestone slabs extended to the bamboo forest in the backyard. After walking for a while, Fu Yuanxiao heard another scream.
"ah!"
"My lord, spare my life!"
Prince? Is Xiao Ji there?
Fu Yuanxiao quickened his pace and soon saw bright light, which was the light from the pavilion next to the rockery.
A slender figure came into view, and he was seen holding a long sword. He raised and lowered the sword, and howled like a pig.
Good night, babies!
