NO.104 Skeleton Qingqi
No.104 The Crown Prince of Bones Qingqi said "En" and did not look at Aoxue. He only said, "Pass the meal around!"
"Yes." The idiot quickly took a step back and gestured for people to serve the food. During this period, he secretly glanced at Aoxue, feeling very strange.
Since the prince took the princess into the palace, the prince has dined with the princess every day no matter morning, noon or evening, and treats the princess very differently on weekdays. They have discussed it in private many times. It seems that Princess You is likely to marry for the second time.
She might even be the future queen of Xiliang.
But judging from today's situation, the prince and the princess may have had a quarrel.
They didn't know exactly what happened in the backyard of the inn last night. Only once during the trip did the prince yell for someone to come. They saw the princess fall to the ground, but soon the prince called them to leave.
Alas, I don’t understand, the love affairs of the upper class are always so complicated!

On the other side, Aoxue was sitting in her seat. She clearly felt several eyes secretly looking at her, but she was on pins and needles.
In the entire inn hall, because the prince's face was sullen, the princess was not smiling, and the two of them were sitting separately, no one knew what was going on. They could only make random guesses in their minds, and the room was extremely quiet.
Outside the window, summer cicadas were chirping. It was only an occasional sound, but it made people feel particularly bored.
Aoxue looked at the bowl of porridge that Xiaodie had just served, but she couldn't drink it.
Normally, she would have hated being watched while eating. What's more, now that she had just had a showdown with the prince, she still didn't know how much the people below knew and how they would guess!
"Okay, I'm full." Aoxue put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked out. Eating in this atmosphere will cause stomach problems even if you don't have stomach problems!
"Sit down!" The prince suddenly spoke, with a completely commanding tone, but still did not look at Aoxue.
Aoxue was walking out. When she heard these words, she immediately turned her head! Her eyes were full of unabashed anger.
This man is Shen Aoxue's cup of tea, not his own!
I don't want to say anything about her soul. The night before, she had clearly stated that she was not Shen Aoxue, nor was she from Xiliang! Why should he order him?!
It was these two people who were sitting and standing, one indifferent and the other angry. The people in the guards were not calm anymore. To them, this was a typical quarrel between gods!
Generally speaking, when gods quarrel, they are the mortals who always suffer!
The idiot who stood behind the prince and kindly reminded the prince that "the princess is there" reacted quickly now. He made a gesture from the air and hurriedly bowed and left.
The prince's guards saw that the prince's bodyguards had all retreated, and they also hurriedly followed him out.
In the hall, only the prince, Aoxue, Xiaodie, and the guards from Prince You's Mansion were left.
Xiaodie remained unmoved! Based on what she saw last night, the prince was obviously plotting against the princess. As the princess's chief maid, she naturally wanted to protect the princess! Besides, the prince was her idol, and she was her idol.
What an honor it is to do something!
The next time she sees the prince, she must ask for a favor or something! Maybe the prince will reward her with an autograph or something!
Aoxue stood there and didn't ask anyone to step back, but looked at the prince angrily. The man was calm and relaxed, drinking porridge gracefully.
"Is there anything else the prince can do?" Aoxue asked in a cool voice.
"You can have another bowl of rice." He finally raised his head, glanced at Aoxue's face, and then quickly glanced across the table before Aoxue, "Or eat two more steamed buns."
Plop! Everyone’s inner villains fell down! The prince asked the princess to sit down so seriously just to ask her to have another bowl of rice?!!!!
"Don't worry, I've already eaten!" Aoxue was also speechless! This prince must be sick!
"Sit down!" He looked at her with a look that could not be argued. Seeing Aoxue's expression of resistance, he explained again, "I don't care about you, but about her body! Remember,
Before she comes back, you must give me something to protect her!"
At this point, his pupils shrank suddenly, and hatred suddenly burst into his eyes when he looked at Aoxue: "Otherwise..."
Threat, another threat!
Aoxue just felt annoyed. In her last life, what she hated most was to be threatened! Besides, Prince You is still here at the moment, and she also has someone to support her. So what if she falls out with him? She's afraid of being embarrassed!
She sneered and looked at the prince provocatively: "Has anyone ever told you that eating when you are unhappy will cause stomach problems?" As she said this, she turned her head and walked out.
Humph, don’t you care about your body? I can always find a way to cure you!
Seeing Aoxue's impressive back, the prince narrowed his eyes slightly.
It looks like it, it really looks like it! Even though I know it’s not the case, I still feel like it.
"Xiaodie!" He suddenly spoke and shouted to Xiaodie who was following Aoxue in a hurry.
Xiaodie was just a maid in the palace, so naturally she couldn't be as arrogant as Aoxue and refused to obey the prince's words. She stopped and asked, "What are the prince's orders?"
The prince raised his chin to the table over there: "Bring the cakes to your lady."
Although Aoxue was walking in front, she clearly heard the conversation between the prince and Xiaodie. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Humph, I'm sorry, Shen Aoxue's body is in her hands now. It's not certain who will listen to whom!"
*
The sun is shining golden and the weather is getting hotter.
The group of people tried their best to travel in the morning or evening, and usually rested at noon.
Aoxue didn't care, since she was sitting in the carriage anyway, even if everyone outside had a heat stroke, it wouldn't be her turn. Besides, no matter how early she got up in the morning to go on the road, for her, it was just a different place to sleep.
Gradually, she became less and less afraid of the prince. Isn't he just a man? He is also a man who is trapped by love and has been caught by her seven inches of weakness!
In order to sleep comfortably, she even asked the prince to give her a carriage where she could sleep in the name of fear of tiring Shen Aoxue's body.
The prince also cooperated. On the day Aoxue made the request, he bought her a super luxurious carriage in the city-state she was passing through. The big bed inside was enough for rolling sheets.
At noon that day, the weather was still terribly hot, and there were no inns or villages around. After running for a long time, the prince ordered to rest in a small forest.
The group of people immediately dismounted their horses, and after eating dry food, they each chose the shade of a tree and fell asleep leaning against the trunk of the tree.
Aoxue was not sleepy. Both she and Xiaodie had enough sleep and were not tired. When everyone else was taking a lunch break, she jumped off the carriage and walked towards the creek not far from the woods.
"Have you ever caught shrimps?" Aoxue asked.
"No." Xiaodie replied.
"Have you ever cracked a crab?" Aoxue asked again.
"No." Xiaodie replied again.
"Oh, then your childhood was so flawed!" Aoxue felt regretful.
"I was sold to the general's mansion when I was very young..." Xiaodie felt aggrieved.
"I'm telling you, I'm a master at catching fish and shrimp! I'll be responsible for catching them later, and you'll be responsible for frying them." Aoxue was very proud, remembering that when she was a child, when she was still in kindergarten, she was considered a child.
I went to do these things during the summer vacation, and the small fish and shrimps I caught were fried and eaten directly. The taste, now that I think about it, is beautiful!
Xiaodie was puzzled: "Princess, didn't you practice martial arts when you were a child? I heard from other maids that you had a hard time practicing martial arts!"
Uh, martial arts training?! This kind of martial arts training is the same as studying. It’s all just for showing off to others. As a kid, who doesn’t sneak out to play?
"Scared! Do you even listen to that kind of talk?!" Aoxue didn't take it seriously, "I just ran away to play secretly!"
"Then how do you practice martial arts?" She clearly remembered that the princess used to say that practicing martial arts was a long and lonely process. How could it change so suddenly?!
"To tell you the truth, I am a genius when it comes to martial arts training. I have an amazing skeleton. It takes others three years to learn it, but I learned it in three months!" Anyway, she is not Shen Aoxue, so whatever you say will do.
Hearing Aoxue and Xiaodie talking not far away, the corners of the prince's and Li Tianyou's mouths twitched at the same time.
Back then, they knew very well how much hardship Xiao Aoxue, who had poor qualifications, endured in order to practice martial arts...
Now, she can actually say whether she is a genius or whether she has extraordinary bones...
Sure enough, there is no such thing as thick skin, only thicker skin!
*
The prince did not sleep, he just sat on the ground, leaning against the tree trunk, looking at Aoxue not far away.
Li Tianyou didn't sleep either. He was sitting on the ground, leaning against the tree trunk, and looking at Aoxue not far away.
However, one is thoughtful, while the other is smiling completely dotingly.
Not far away, the woman's skirt was knotted, her trousers were rolled up, her shoes were taken off, and she actually walked into the stream to catch fish.
Xiaodie followed behind, cheering and jumping for joy from time to time, and then picked up a basin and packed the fish that Aoxue had caught.
The sun was jumping in her hair, in her hands, and the lake water in the stream was glowing with golden waves. Her laughter kept coming like musical notes, as cheerful as an elf in the mountains.
Neither the prince nor Li Tianyou had ever seen such Aoxue before, and he was so touching in a different way.
Then, Li Tianyou saw the prince getting up and walking towards the stream.
*
"Princess, there, there!" Xiaodie followed Aoxue with a basin, exclaiming every time she saw a slightly larger fish.
"Oh, please keep your voice down, you will scare away the fish!" Aoxue complained.
"Princess, you have to focus on big fish! There are already more than 30 small fish!"
“Aren’t big fish and small fish all fish?!”
"Can this be the same?!" Xiaodie looked at the numerous fish in the basin that were no bigger than her little finger. They were all deep-fried and only amounted to half a bowl. "These small fish combined don't have as much meat as one big fish!"
"Small fish are more delicious! The meat is more tender than big fish!" Aoxue leaned down, and while catching the fish, she didn't forget to break open the rocks to see if there were any surprise crabs underneath. She didn't want to admit that the big fish was swimming.
Hurry up, she won't be able to catch it!
"Do you really not want a big fish?" came a voice from the shore.
