Chapter 7 Exclusively published by Jinjiang Literature City

I finished all the breakfast, and when I turned around, I found that Xie Yan was still frowning and handling official duties, so I quietly poured him tea and added enough pen and ink. Then I sat in front of the coffee table with the copybook and pen and ink, and began to copy it intently.

After all this time, my handwriting has become much more neat and neat. Although I still can't match Xie Yan's childhood, at least I can see what I wrote, which is very pleased.

The afternoon sun shone through the thin window screen and shone on the copybook. The fragrance of ink floated, and the traces of the ink were all exposed to the heat of summer. I felt a little dizzy, so I had to put the pen down and turn to see Xie Yan.

I saw him writing hard with concentration, his eyebrows were drooping, his beautiful gray eyes were covered by long eyelashes, his eyebrows were frowning, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, as if he was worried about official business. I couldn't stand him like this, so I handed the tea to him.

He looked up at me, and there seemed to be some confusion between his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything. I was used to being so taciturn and I formed a strange tacit understanding with him. I could see the deep meaning behind him from one of his eyes.

"Stay for a while, don't be tense all the time. Sometimes relaxing your body and mind can lead to better ways." As I said this, I was brave enough to touch the frown lines on his eyebrows.

My actions this time are not to learn how to pick and stolen the fragrance and jade, but I am used to doing this when my father frowned. Now that I face Xie Yan, I feel a little bit hard to control myself.

But after I did it, I felt a little scared. As soon as I looked up, I met Xie Yan's cold face. He didn't seem angry, but reached out to grab my wrist, and his slightly cool palm easily surrounded my wrist.

I couldn't break free, and I could only hear him scolding me, "Being presumptuous."

Although he spoke seriously, he did not hurt me in his hand. I quickly beg for mercy, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I just don't want to see you hurt your official duties."

At this time, the summer wind blew the rice paper on the desk. My untied hair was blown by the wind, gently brushing on my face, adding a little itchy feeling. I was a little close to Xie Yan, and I could even smell the cold scent of pine wood on his body, and my heart was beating like a wild horse running wildly.

Just when I thought something should happen to Xie Yan and me in such an ambiguous situation, a clear voice came into the room.

"Brother Prince, are you here?"

I don’t know what Xie Yan is thinking, but I don’t want others to see us so strangely. Xie Yan seems to be the same. He finally let go of my hand and my breathing finally smoothed down.

The one who came in was a beautiful boy in brocade clothes. He didn't look like Xie Yan at all. Xie Yan was more handsome and cold, while the boy was even more beautiful and gentle, with his cunning fox eyes swaying, his lips were raised and full, and he had two shallow dimples when he smiled.

I was about to stand aside, but the boy blocked my way. I went left and he went left, and I went right and he went right, clearly playing with me.

"Brother Prince, this is your attendant Feng Jiuyue? She is so beautiful, like an exquisite doll."

The boy got close to me and looked at me again and again. When he saw that my reaction was similar to those of the disciples, I didn't see any dirty desire in his eyes. He seemed to be just admiring a novel object.

"Brother Prince, he looks better than a woman. Can you let him go over and play with me for a few days?"

This person is really outrageous. He is obviously very feminine, but he insists on humiliating me like this.

I was a little angry and was about to have an attack, but was blocked by Xie Yan's back. He walked between me and the boy at some point and separated me from the boy. I couldn't help but feel at ease.

"Xie Xing, what are you doing?"

Xie Yan's tone was very impatient, and I felt selfish that he was helping me vent my anger.

It turned out that the beautiful boy was Xie Xing, and Xie Xingzhi, also known as the Eighth Prince.

"Oh, Prince, it was the emperor who asked me to come to you for the Ten Thousand Buddhist scriptures. The copy he had asked you to copy before. Today, he suddenly remembered to read it, so he asked me to come to you." Xie Xing finally put away his curious look and explained his future intentions.

"Wait." When Xie Yan said this, he looked back at me, as if this sentence was not to Xie Xing, but to me.

His eyes were deep before leaving, with a faint warning, but I didn't understand what he was warning.

After Xie Yan left, Xie Xing and I were in the room, and the air was filled with embarrassment. I was about to find a way to escape, but he suddenly approached me and said to me in an extremely naive way, "Do you like the prince's brother, right?"

Is it well known to everyone about Xie Yan? Yes, the letter I wrote to him that day was read out in front of so many people by Yuan Ye. I guess everyone in Jiang Country knew it, everyone knew it. I felt very embarrassed when I thought about it.

"Speak." Xie Xing held his cheek and looked at me seriously, as if my answer was very important to him.

"What are you asking for this?" My voice was a little dull and trembling. In front of Xie Yan, I could boldly admit my sincerity, but I didn't want my sincerity to be ridiculed by others.

"When I look at you, I know you like the prince's brother."

Xie Xing stretched out the folding fan in his hand and pointed my eyes, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, very proud, "Look at the prince's eyes, there is like hidden in his eyes, I know."

"Do you want to know why I know?" His ears moved slightly, as if he noticed the movement behind him, but he approached me quietly. Only the two of us could hear the sound, "Because I also looked like this when I saw my Yu Qiu."

"What are you doing?" Xie Yan's voice was as cold as ice, and with hidden anger in his mouth, it suddenly rang in the room.

Before I could think about Xie Xing's words, I knew that I was being put on by Xie Xing. From Xie Yan's perspective, Xie Xing and I were very close in front of me, like a mandarin duck with a neck.

"Oh, Prince, I'm having fun with your little servant. Don't stretch your face and scare him."

Xie Xing was still adding fuel to the fire. He obviously did it on purpose, but now he looks innocent. He is just a cunning little fox who likes to trip up.

Such a joke is actually harmless. I can also realize that Xie Xing is just a stubborn mind and does not mean that he harms me.

I opened my mouth to explain something to Xie Yan, but he glanced at me coldly, his face was gloomy and storm, his eyes were like a sharp knife, his thin lips slightly opened, "Get out, go."

This was the first time after the Peach Blossom Tree that he was so fierce to me. I didn’t know what I did wrong, but I felt a little wronged. But due to Xie Xing’s presence, I opened my mouth and couldn’t say anything, so I could only force myself to walk out of the room.

When I left, I heard Xie Xing muttering behind his back, "Brother Prince, you don't know how to be merciful. I saw that he was about to cry, his eyes were red, but there was a small red mole at the end of his eyes. It looked so good."

Xie Yan didn't say anything, my heart was sinking little by little.

When I walked out of the room dejectedly, I met a tall man holding a sword around the corner. He was very fierce, with slender eyebrows and fierce eyes, and a scar passed through his right eye, giving people a feeling of coldness and terror.

He glanced at me slantedly, and I felt a bone-chilling chill all over me, and from this glance, I could see the strong hostility he exuded towards me.

But I don't know why this hostility comes.

He was wearing a black strong suit, wide shoulders and bee waist, showing the ability of a martial artist. He wrapped his arms around him with a jade sword, and only a jade pendant was decorated on his waist, with the word "吉" engraved on it.

I had a flash of inspiration. Could it be that he was Yu Qiu? The one that Xie Xing liked? He just saw what Xie Xing did, so he was angry with me.

Then why is Xie Yan angry with me?

I couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it and went to the kitchen to cook a few bowls of milk tea.

It was the hottest time of the day, and the direction of the kitchen was not as cool and refreshing as Xie Yan's room. The suffocating and hot air made my face hot, and even my brain was a little confused.

When I was about to walk to the corner with my milk tea, the scorching sun above my head made me sweat, and I almost couldn't stand it. Fortunately, a passing servant supported me.

My health is really bad.

My mother gave birth to me prematurely and it took me a lot of trouble to give birth to me. Since I was a child, my body has been weaker than others and I am more prone to illness, especially in summer.

I am just fine if I live a pampered life on weekdays. Every room at home will have ice cubes in summer, but Xie Yan doesn’t seem to be so afraid of heat, so I didn’t mention it, but occasionally I feel dry, hot and stuffy.

What's more, I went to the kitchen to make milk tea. If it weren't for that servant, I would probably have knocked to the ground.

I could only ask the servant to help me bring the milk tea in and ask me a leave. I don’t know if Xie Yan was still angry at this time, and always felt that it would be better to avoid it. After giving the instructions, I went home to rest.

Who knew that my disease would be better if it didn't happen, but it was out of control. At night, I started to have a high fever. My father was so anxious that he even invited the imperial doctor from the palace to take my pulse.

The imperial doctor's statement is exactly the same as what I judged myself, that is, I was hit by heat and my body was too weak, so the disease would come in a fierce way and I would have to rest for a few days.

I woke up in a daze and fell asleep. My father accompanied me except for the rest of the courtship. On the second day, the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion came to my house and inexplicably gave my father a lot of precious medicinal herbs. Finally, he asked about my condition and diet and daily life preferences indirectly. My father answered one by one, and finally he hurriedly left.

I heard Xiaoman say all of these.

I thought it was because the milk tea was not in place. Xie Yan probably felt uncomfortable after not drinking milk tea for a day, so he asked the housekeeper to come to the house. I could only force myself to write the secret recipe for milk tea, and asked the servants to deliver the squeezed fresh milk and goat milk to the prince's mansion, so that I could rest assured to recuperate.

In fact, I always like to escape when I encounter problems that I can’t figure out. For example, I don’t know why Xie Yan is not happy with me this time, so I don’t think about it.

The days of resting were a little fast. By the third day, I could get out of bed, but my head was still a little dizzy.

I always felt that my illness was filled with my room, so I ordered someone to move Ruo Cold to a cool place in the courtyard, lying comfortably to read some idle words, Xiaobai was spinning at my feet, opening his mouth from time to time to pick up the melon seeds I threw at him.

This day was really very comfortable, but I missed Xie Yan a little. Before I could finish sighing, I saw Xie Yan standing in front of me coldly in a black court suit. I rubbed my eyes hard, thinking that I had hallucinations.
