The two of them were walking together silently on the road. Suddenly Chu Xia seemed to remember something. She was startled.

"No, I can't go to dinner with you. I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do."

"What are you so anxious about?"

"I have to go back to the General's Mansion as soon as possible. I'm afraid that something will be done to me. If someone discovers that I have been out for so long, I will definitely be scolded again."

"Wouldn't everyone just find out when you go back now? Everyone is here now. Don't worry. I will take you home later and no one will dare to say anything."

"It still doesn't work, what if..."

Jing Yuan saw that Chu Xia still looked worried and said.

"Don't worry anymore. Nothing will happen. If anything happens, I will help you solve it. It's not a big deal just to have a meal."

"But Er Hua is still at home waiting for me to go back. I'm afraid she will worry about something happening to me after being out for a long time." After saying this, Chu Xia still looked at Jing Yuan with a worried look.

"I've thought of it a long time ago. I'm just afraid that Er Hua will be worried. I've already sent someone to tell Er Hua."

"Really? It's rare for you to be so thoughtful."

"Don't worry, have a good meal, and I'll take you home after that. Don't worry." After Jing Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Chu Xia lovingly.

"I know, let's go eat quickly. I'm really hungry." Chu Xia smiled and patted her stomach to show that she was hungry.

"Then let's go quickly, I'm also hungry after you said that." At this time, Chu Xia felt more at ease in her heart, she thought.

"As long as I'm around Jing Yuan, I feel an inexplicable sense of security. I feel particularly at ease and at ease."

In fact, in Jing Yuan's heart, he had already regarded protecting Chu Xia as his instinct. He was afraid that if he failed to take care of him, someone would hurt Chu Xia.

So when he saw Chu Xia coming, he sent someone to tell Er Hua when Chu Xia wasn't paying attention, asking her to pay more attention to the situation in the general's mansion.

In fact, Jing Yuan had his own selfish motives for doing this. He just wanted to stay with Chu Xia for a while longer.

Just like Chu Xia, he feels at ease as long as she is by his side.

Jingyuan sent someone to tell Er Hua, "Chu Xia should go back later tonight. She and her master still have something to discuss."

"Then tell her to come back as soon as she's done with her work."

After saying that, Er Hua looked at the person who came to report with a worried look. Er Hua knew that Chu Xia would go back later, so he did not dare to make the matter public.

After finishing the meal, the servants put away the dishes and chopsticks. Chu Xia and Jing Yuan were walking in the mansion, and the two of them strolled into the pavilion.

It was just evening, and the evening breeze was slightly cool, blowing gently on their bodies, making Chu Xia feel very comfortable.

"The weather is very good tonight." Chu Xia suddenly sighed.

Jing Yuan turned his head and looked at Chu Xia, and asked softly: "So, was the weather bad in the evening before?"

According to Jing Yuan's understanding, the weather these days is similar, with the evening breeze blowing and making people feel very comfortable.

"Not good." But Chu Xia said this.

"Why is it bad?" Jing Yuan didn't understand and asked.

The weather is obviously about the same, so why can’t Chu Xia say it’s bad?

Chu Xia looked at Jing Yuan, her eyes fixed on Jing Yuan's face, and she said nothing. After a while, Chu Xia lowered her head, looked ahead, and said to Jing Yuan: "Maybe it's because my mood today is worse than the previous few days."

The weather is nice, so I feel the scenery nearby is particularly beautiful, and the wind blowing on my face feels particularly comfortable.

"Really?" Jing Yuan asked.

Chu Xia didn't respond anymore. She walked forward, step by step, very slowly and very lightly.

Jing Yuan stopped and looked at Chu Xia's back. The corners of his mouth raised slightly and he whispered, "Is it because of me?"

Seeing that Chu Xia was already some distance away, Jing Yuan stopped delaying and followed Chu Xia directly.

There are many pavilions in Prince Jing's Mansion because there is a lot of water.

As soon as Chu Xia left the small pavilion, she rushed to the pavilion in front because she saw a lotus growing in the water under the pavilion in front of her.

Chu Xia likes flowers, and lotus flowers are naturally among them. She quickly walked two steps over, stood in the pavilion, and looked down at the lotus flowers below.

"These lotus flowers are so beautiful." When she heard Jing Yuan's footsteps behind her, she said to Jing Yuan without looking back.

Jing Yuan took two steps and arrived at Chu Xia's side. He glanced at the lotus flowers below, then turned around and saw the twinkling love in Chu Xia's eyes, and asked, "Do you like lotus flowers?"

Chu Xia nodded, "The lotus flowers are so beautiful, of course I like them."

"Then someone will transplant a few plants into your yard in the next two days." Jing Yuan said this almost the next second after receiving Chu Xia's answer.

Chu Xia turned her head and looked at Jing Yuan, refusing, "Isn't this too much trouble? If I want to see lotus flowers, I can come over."

Jing Yuan shook his head and said, "This is troublesome. Move it to your own yard so that you can see it at a glance when you want to see it. How nice."

Chu Xia looked at Jing Yuan, blinked and said nothing.

"That's it." Jing Yuan smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said to Chu Xia.

"Okay." Chu Xia nodded. After Jing Yuan said this, she couldn't refuse Jing Yuan.

After that, the two of them didn't talk anymore, but looked at the lotus flowers below. I don't know how long it took, but Jing Yuan suddenly said, "Today, I saw the eldest son of the Wang family in Dingnan."

Chu Xia immediately turned her head to look at Jing Yuan and asked, "He's here? Why?"

Jing Yuan also turned his head and looked at Chu Xia, "I don't know, I seem to be here to meet the emperor. Maybe there is something going on."

As soon as she heard what Jing Yuan said about something, Chu Xia immediately thought of the engagement between her and him, and frowned.

"I don't like this person." Not only did she not like him, but for Chu Xia, she probably hated him.

"But isn't there still an engagement between the two of you?" Jing Yuan asked.

Chu Xia paused for a moment, then said: "As a member of the royal family, shouldn't you be very aware of all kinds of things? Marriage matters are always beyond your control, right?"

"Yes." When Jing Yuan heard what Chu Xia said, a smile appeared on his face again. There seemed to be a light in his eyes and he said to Chu Xia: "In that case, do you need me to help you resolve this engagement?

"

If possible, he hoped that their engagement would be canceled tomorrow.

Chu Xia shook her head and refused: "No need."

The smile on Jing Yuan's face suddenly stopped, and he asked: "Why not? Don't you dislike him? Besides, your family treats you like this, so you shouldn't fulfill your engagement for them, right?"

Chu Xia saw Jing Yuan's serious face, so she smiled and said to Jing Yuan: "Of course I don't like him, and do you think I can still treat them as family if they treat me like this? Their life and death

For me, I don’t care at all.”

"Then why don't you agree with me to help you?" Jing Yuan asked again.

Chu Xia smiled, a little evil, "Of course I have to resolve this matter myself. After all, this matter is between me and him."

Jing Yuan was so shocked by the evil light in Chu Xia's eyes that he was stunned for a moment. After understanding what Chu Xia meant, he smiled and said to Chu Xia, "Okay, since you have decided so, then I will too.

I won’t interfere anymore.”

"Yeah!" Chu Xia nodded, looked up at Jing Yuan and smiled.

The two of them talked about something else. Looking at the lotus flowers below, they both had a lot to say.

They seemed to have such a tacit understanding for a long time, and Jing Yuan, tonight, he was surprisingly happy, with a smile on his face all the time. Even just listening to Jing Yuan's voice, you can tell how happy Jing Yuan is.

hapiness.

Chu Xia especially didn't understand. She refused Jing Yuan's help. What could Jing Yuan be so happy about? He was so happy?

Chu Xia was particularly confused, and she kept thinking about what made Jing Yuan so happy, so that when she was chatting with Jing Yuan, she felt a little absent-minded.

"Chu Xia, are you sleepy?" Seeing that Chu Xia's eyes were expressionless and she didn't know what she was thinking, Jing Yuan asked aloud.

"Ah?" Chu Xia was stunned for a moment and looked at Jing Yuan in confusion.

Jing Yuan sighed and said to Chu Xia, "Looking at you, you are just sleepy. You don't say anything when you are sleepy. I will not drag you to talk to me when you are sleepy."

Jing Yuan said and walked out, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the yard."

"Ah?" Chu Xia was stunned again.

"Goodbye, aren't you tired? Let's go back now. Don't worry, I'll have someone transplant the lotus for you in a moment." Jing Yuan thought that Chu Xia didn't leave because she couldn't bear the lotus.

"No, it's too much trouble, and it's already dark." This was Chu Xia's true words in her heart, but in Jing Yuan's view, this was Chu Xia's excuse to not want others to trouble her.

"Then it will be tomorrow." Since Chu Xia didn't want to trouble others, he would just let them come over tomorrow.

"Okay." Chu Xia said.

She really thought that transplanting lotus flowers would be troublesome, but she didn't expect that Jingyuan would be so concerned about it. This made Chu Xia feel a little embarrassed. Just because she was alone, there would be an unexpected increase in the number of people tomorrow.

task.

The two people walked along the way they came, and Jing Yuan sent Chu Xia into the courtyard.

"Then I'll go in first." Chu Xia blushed slightly and said to Jing Yuan.

"Go in." Jing Yuan stood in front of Chu Xia's yard with his hands behind his hands, speaking warmly.

Chu Xia nodded and went in.

Jing Yuan was not in a hurry to leave. He didn't leave until he saw Chu Xia entering.

With a smile on his face, he slowly walked away from Chu Xia's yard.

On this night today, Jing Yuan was very happy.
