Chapter 99 Brother Who Is She?
Chapter 99 Brother, who is she?
Although the prince has moved to the East Palace, his residence still remains in Zichen Palace.
Li Xuanye was sitting at the desk, flipping through the official documents handed over by various states. Zhao Xiwei was sitting beside him in a big cloak, holding his chin up and looking at him.
The room was silent.
Yuan Ce stood behind him and glanced at the two of them with a worried look on his face.
This Miss Zhao has been silent since she came up from the pool. She refused to go to rest somewhere else and stayed with His Highness. This was too inappropriate for a man and a woman alone.
He coughed and then cautiously advised: "Miss Zhao, would you like a cup of tea?"
But Zhao Xiwei turned a deaf ear and just put his head on the desk, staring at Li Xuanye unblinkingly with his beautiful eyes.
Li Xuanye, on the other hand, dipped his pen in the ink and wrote steadily, as if he could let her see the world like this.
Yuan Ce complained endlessly, what the hell is this?
Then he smiled and said, "Miss Zhao, you are all wet. It's so cold. Should I take you to the Nuang Pavilion to warm yourself up by the fire?"
"..." Zhao Xiwei still looked at Li Xuanye.
When Yuan Ce's plan failed, he tried another trick and coaxed: "Miss Zhao, I asked the kitchen to make you some cakes. Do you want to put some food on your stomach first?"
The silent man finally raised his head and said in a delicate and soft voice: "Okay, go get it."
Yuan Ce raised his forehead, just to push you away from His Highness. His Highness was reviewing official documents, and what did a woman look like sitting next to him?
But he couldn't say it clearly, so he said tactfully: "Uh... I mean, you go to Nuange for dinner first."
The soft voice was unhappy: "Why do you want to go to the Nuan Pavilion? Can't I eat next to His Highness?"
Yuan Ce looked at the sky speechlessly: "You..."
Just as he was about to continue his persuasion, Li Xuanye put down the approved official document and interrupted him: "Okay, bring it up."
Yuan Ce had one head and two heads: "Take, take, take, bring up? Eat here??"
This is the study, your Royal Highness’s favorite study. You stay up late reading official documents and never eat in the study!
He was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. He opened his mouth to confirm again, but then he heard Li Xuanye's voice deepen: "What's the problem?"
"No, no, no!" Yuan Ce swallowed quickly, swallowed the words that came to his lips, and immediately withdrew.
Li Xuanye continued to read the official documents, while Zhao Xiwei continued to watch with his chin up.
He flipped through one book, then another, then another, and more than ten books in a row. He glanced at them and threw them away. Then he rubbed his brows with a look of boredom on his face.
Yuan Ce came in with food, brought a small table and placed it in front of Zhao Xiwei, then put rice cakes, porridge, and side dishes on it, and then said: "Miss Zhao, please have a meal."
Zhao Xiwei picked up a pastry with chopsticks, took a bite, and then glanced sideways at Li Xuanye.
Li Xuanye continued to take an official document and opened it, then he wrote two words with a pen and closed it again, "Yuan Ce, you will go to Honglu Temple later and show Qiao An this folding guard.
By the way, please tell me when will the details of the money for the renovation of Honglu Guest House be released."
"Yes." Yuan Ce glanced at Zhao Xiwei next to him.
Seeing her holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and still looking at her master intently, she coughed.
Li Xuanye turned his head and looked over.
Zhao Xiwei picked up the pastries in front of him and presented them to him.
Li Xuanye was startled.
I was about to say something when I glanced at him and saw those sparkling eyes, full of expectation.
He nodded and said: "Leave it alone, I won't eat it now."
Zhao Xiwei looked thoughtful and put the plate in his hand.
Li Xuanye and Yuan Ce looked at each other, and they both saw shock on each other's faces.
"How about... let's ask Dr. Liu to come and take a look." Yuan Ce scratched his head and suggested: "I don't know what the Queen Mother gave her to drink. What if it hurts her brain."
Li Xuanye's eyes flickered. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, people in the hospital are too talkative. This matter should not be made public."
He turned the langhao pen in his hand and finally made his decision: "Go to Fengyang Pavilion and ask Lingxi to come over and ask her to bring a set of clean clothes."
"Yes." Yuan Ce accepted the order and left.
Only Zhao Xiwei and Li Xuanye were left in the study.
He took one look at her wet hair and wet clothes...and his tone became much softer: "I'll change into this outfit later."
Zhao Xiwei still looked at him like that.
"..." Li Xuanye was speechless for a moment.
We can't communicate now, and we don't know when things will return to normal.
After thinking about it, he called out: "Yang Yi."
Immediately, a guard in gilded clothes came in: "Your Highness."
Li Xuanye took out a jade plaque and said, "Go to Jishi Hall and ask Doctor Gu to come. Don't disturb others."
"Yes." Yang Yi agreed, feeling very curious as to why a woman appeared next to His Highness. However, he was curious and did not even look at Zhao Xiwei who was sitting next to him. He only answered the question respectfully.
Jade Card, he immediately withdrew.
After a while, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside, accompanied by a very delicate and cute laughter: "Brother, look for Lingxi!"
A girl walked over quickly with her skirt in hand.
She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a high fairy bun, a pale pink gauze satin palace dress, and a pine green gauze shawl wrapped around her arms. When she walked over, she was as airy as a fairy, very agile, her
With a bright smile and spotless bright eyes, she is a kind of cute who has never experienced the sorrow in the world.
When Li Xuanye saw her, there was a rare tenderness in his eyebrows, and even his voice was a little warmer: "Lingxi."
This is Princess Lingxi, the younger sister of Li Xuanye's mother.
She put a set of clothes on the desk, then turned to look at Zhao Xiwei, then at Li Xuanye, her eyes widened: "Brother, who is she? Why is she in your palace?"
"
Li Xuanye didn't want to tell her too much in detail, so he just picked up the simplest sentences and told her: "Her name is Zhao Xiwei, she is a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she accidentally fell into the water when she went to the palace for a banquet."
"Oh." Lingxi squatted next to Zhao Xiwei. Seeing her eyes following Li Xuanye, he was a little puzzled: "Brother, why does she keep staring at you?"
Li Xuanye clenched his fist and coughed, and said: "Maybe...it was caused by excessive shock of falling into the water."
Lingxi tilted her head, disbelief written all over her face: "Really?" She looked at Zhao Xiwei for a while, then murmured: "Why is her collar torn..."
Li Xuanye coughed again and changed the subject without revealing any trace: "Lingxi, go and take Miss Zhao to change her clothes."
Lingxi still had an expression on her face that said "What happened?" "Brother, you...she..."
Before he finished speaking, seeing Li Xuanye's expression gradually turning serious, he quickly smiled and said: "Lingxi obeys your orders!"
