"Sometimes I really hate that I am an incompetent person. Wei Li, he is my shadow. When I am here, he must be here."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes began to moisten.
She knew very well what he meant.
He knows everything about the past.
He not only knew but also acquiesced in everything that happened, so he felt guilty and suffered.
Xu Zhihuai resented his frankness, but also admired his frankness.
At the very least, he didn't come up with any grandiose rhetoric to defend himself.
"I understand His Highness's difficulties."
Xu Zhihuai blinked hurriedly to prevent him from seeing the tears she was holding back. Her tone was gentle, without even a hint of grievance or displeasure.
"Huai'er, do you blame me?"
Zhu Xuxing's eyes darkened slightly and his voice became hoarse.
Xu Zhihuai shook his head: "Without Your Highness, I wouldn't be alive today. Your Highness is my savior that I cannot repay."
Zhu Xuxing smiled sadly when he heard this: "Everyone says that I am kind and kind, but Huai'er... If I am not the prince, what is the use of this kindness and kindness?"
Xu Zhihuai opened his hands, put his arms around his neck, and hugged him.
"Your Highness, things in the world are never black and white. I am not wronged. I am very lucky to be able to stay in the palace. The grudges and grudges in the past are just a nightmare. After waking up from the dream, , and His Highness is by my side.”
Zhu Xuxing was hugged by her, and her lonely and empty heart was suddenly filled.
He was greedy for the warmth she brought and stayed close to her.
The ears and temples rub together, and we talk to each other.
At this moment, neither of them can live without the other.
"Huai'er promises me never to leave me."
When Xu Zhihuai heard this, his heart trembled suddenly.
Zhu Xuxing buried his head in the crook of her neck, sighed deeply, and begged: "Promise me."
"Yes, I promise you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a passionate kiss ensued.
Xu Zhihuai was stunned.
Zhu Xuxing lowered his eyes slightly and looked into her eyes: "We will never be separated again."
He kissed her deeper, and his lips and teeth were filled with a desire to conquer, filled with heat, as if he was possessed, or crazy.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't breathe, struggled slightly, and whispered in his ear: "An'er is still here..."
Zhu Xuxing's eyes flashed with tiny glints and turned slightly red. He immediately picked her up by the waist and pulled a large mink fur cloak around her thinly clothed body, hiding her panicked and blushing face.
The two of them went to the hot spring pool like this, making the palace people look horrified.
The mist is thick and the acacia is warm.
This affair did not end until the second watch.
Zhu Xuxing would never be so out of control, but tonight he was like an impulsive and reckless young man, unable to control his feelings and lingering over him.
When the sky dawned, Xu Zhihuai propped up his limp body. Before he got out of bed, he grabbed his wrist tightly: "Don't go."
It turned out that he hadn't fallen asleep.
"Your Highness should go to court in the morning."
Zhu Xuxing gently lifted her chin with his fingers and looked into her sparkling eyes: "I won't go today."
"Um?"
Xu Zhihuai was slightly surprised.
"Your Highness has always been diligent, but what happened today..."
Zhu Xuxing pressed her lips with his fingertips, pulled the brocade quilt to cover her smooth shoulders, and said lightly: "I'm not going anywhere today."
His tone was no joke.
Xu Zhihuai couldn't guess what he was thinking, so he just nodded meekly: "Okay, Your Highness has been working hard for many days, so it doesn't hurt to take a break."
Zhu Xuxing pursed his lips and raised his hand to touch her face, his eyes filled with tiny lights.
In the court hall, everyone had been waiting for more than half an hour, but before His Royal Highness came, they couldn't help but talk.
Wei Li had a stern face, lost his patience at first, and turned around to leave.
When the officials saw him leaving, they looked at each other and hesitated.
Before Wei Li left the palace, he asked his spy to find out the news.
Why didn't the prince come to the morning court?
When he returned home and took a sip of tea, the news came back.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince was in the Hot Spring Palace with Concubine Huai last night..."
Wei Li raised the corner of his mouth, half-smiling but not smiling: "Where is the prince now?"
"Back to the Marquis, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Huai have been together, and they are still in the Hot Spring Palace now."
Wei Li pondered for a moment, then snorted a sneer from his nose: "Our Crown Prince is really charming." After saying that, he waved his hand with a mean look on his face, signaling for others to leave.
Xu Zhihuai, Xu Zhihuai...
It seems that your ability to seduce people has improved a lot. Thinking of this, her charming and sultry smile suddenly flashed through his mind, and his blood immediately rushed to his head.
Her every smile, her every word and every action, countless fragments pieced together her perfect appearance, as if she was coming to life before his eyes.
Wei Li was inexplicably annoyed.
With a "pop" sound, the tea bowl in his hand shattered.
Warm tea flowed out along with dark brown tea leaves, dirtying the table and his hands.
Wei Li frowned in disgust and shook it impatiently.
The tea leaves in my hands were shaken cleanly, but the distracting thoughts in my heart could not be cleared away.
Xu Zhihuai!
That damn woman!
He won't let go.
As long as she lives, she belongs to him.
…
After a day of indulgence, Zhu Xuxing returned to his usual diligence. Xu Zhihuai continued to take care of An'er wholeheartedly. She personally sent her to Qianhua Palace every day and exchanged a few words with Zhu Weizhen.
When Zhu Weizhen was teaching An'er to read, she would sit quietly in the main hall, sometimes looking up at the courtyard outside the window to see if there was any figure flashing by.
With his relationship with the eldest princess, Wei Li can easily enter and leave Qianhua Palace, so it is not difficult to meet him here.
Xu Zhihuai wanted to try his luck. Unfortunately, she did not wait for Wei Li's arrogant and domineering appearance, but only heard Zhu Weizhen's sincere instructions.
"The prince has been upset recently. You should spend more time with him and make him happy. You are always the best."
Xu Zhihuai lowered his eyes and smiled: "Yes."
"An'er is very smart and learns quickly. The new year is approaching and there are a lot of things in the palace, so why not let her have fun for a while, and I will have some time off."
"Everything is subject to His Highness's arrangements."
"By the way, I also prepared a little gadget."
As soon as Zhu Weizhen looked over, someone picked up a yellow and white kitten.
"This is Hydrangea cat, less than two months old. It's small and very clean. It's just the perfect companion for An'er."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes narrowed, and the smile on his lips froze slightly.
Hydrangea cat…
Was this given by the eldest princess or Wei Li?
Zhu Weizhen called Zhu Qingruo, and when he saw her face full of surprise, she came running up and down and said: "From now on, it is yours."
"Wow, so small."
The kitten huddled up timidly, with a small yellow patch on its head, a large patch of yellow on its snow-white body, and a pair of big lake-blue eyes.
Xu Zhihuai watched her daughter take the kitten, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked calmly: "This kitten is so cute, where did your highness find it?"
Zhu Weizhen said lightly: "It's really not a precious variety. It was picked up by the maids from the garden. Maybe it was left alone."
