Just after Chinese Valentine's Day, the atmosphere in the palace returned to its usual dead silence.
Zhong Yuxi's mood was not affected at all. She got up early to wash up and was full of energy to prepare for the new day.
Before going out, she touched the doll on the bedside and named her Erxi.
"Sister is going out. Erxi, please be good at home."
The doll looked at her without blinking, and she smiled. As soon as she stood up, she suddenly felt sick in her stomach.
I ran to the bathroom, held the wall and vomited, but after vomiting for a long time, I only vomited out some bitter water.
I must have eaten something bad yesterday, Zhong Yuxi thought depressedly as she brushed her teeth again.
The king has to prepare for his visit to Yingguo in the past few days, and everyone in the cabinet department is busy.
She stood by and was ready to be dispatched.
Xiaofeng came over in the morning, because he would accompany His Majesty on this trip. Sakurai Takashi was very impressed with him and specially invited him to be a guest. Moreover, Xiaofeng can speak the language of Sakurai country, so he is also familiar with it.
Very familiar.
The two of them looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes, but soon they were busy with their own things.
When Zhong Yuxi was bored, she stood behind His Majesty and watched him quietly talking to His Majesty. Sometimes he would frown and think, sometimes he would suddenly become enlightened, and sometimes he would listen quietly. Only when he was working,
The expression on his face changes the most, it is not always as still as usual.
She just looked at him like this, like looking at a scenery, and she felt satisfied without realizing it.
They were so busy that they had lunch in the king's study. There were huge piles of books and documents on the table, and the secretary was constantly sorting them out.
Zhong Yuxi looked at the white paper and felt dizzy for no reason.
Xiaofeng raised his head and saw her shaking the chair. He frowned and looked at Mu Nan. Mu Nan hurried over and asked in a low voice: "Yu Xi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"A little dizzy." She said while holding her forehead. She really didn't want to cause trouble to everyone at this time, but the soles of her feet were already shaking.
The king also heard the strange noise at this time, turned around and said with concern: "Yu Xi, if you feel uncomfortable, go back and rest. You are not needed here for the time being."
"I can do it..." She was still trying to be brave, so Mu Nan tried to persuade her: "I'm here, don't you feel reassured?"
Zhong Yuxi thought for a while and finally nodded.
She reluctantly walked out of the door, feeling that Xiaofeng's eyes were always looking at her. Her heart felt warm and she was not so dizzy. When she breathed the fresh air outside, she immediately felt much better.
"Miss Zhong." A call cheered her up immediately.
She raised her head and saw Gu Li's beautiful curly hair shining dazzlingly in the sun. She heard that the king had left her here to celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day, so she stayed for a few more days. Zhong Yuxi had a very bad impression of her, so
Xiaoxiao said hello.
"Ms. Zhong, let's talk." She showed a friendly smile.
"I'm sorry, I think we have nothing to talk about." Zhong Yuxi walked around her and went back to her apartment.
She stopped her and said softly with an arrogant look: "Miss Zhong, when His Highness the Sixth Prince comes back from Ying Kingdom, I will mention the marriage again. At that time, I am afraid he will have no reason to refuse. But you, it is best
You should understand your status clearly, otherwise, don’t suffer a lot in vain. A lowly commoner will never be able to ascend the throne of the imperial concubine, so you’d better give up on this idea."
Zhong Yuxi sighed helplessly, looked at her calmly and said, "Is there anything else? It's okay, I'm going back."
Gu Li's face darkened. Her nonchalant expression was very much like Xiaofeng's. She was closer to that person, and even her demeanor became a bit similar.
Jealousy suddenly arose in her heart, and when Zhong Yuxi turned around, she reached out and pushed her shoulder. If it was normal, Zhong Yuxi would have avoided it, but the dizzy headache happened to hit her at this moment, and her body
He was unsteady and pushed by her again, and he immediately fell forward.
But before she really fell down, she was caught in a broad embrace. Those arms hugged her tightly, and the mint scent from his body mixed with the breeze.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Gu Li was a little flustered, but she still managed to stay calm and said hello.
Xuanyuan Ye's eyes were dark and he couldn't see to the bottom. He glanced at Gu Li coldly. The latter immediately lowered his head in fear and did not dare to speak anymore.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" His voice was full of concern. Zhong Yuxi broke away from his arms and shook her head: "It's okay. Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern."
"I'll take you back."
"No, I can do it myself..." He couldn't tolerate her refusal and took her hand. Her hand was a little painful when he held it, and he forcefully pulled her towards his residence.
Gu Li frowned and looked behind, a sinister look gradually appearing in her eyes.
"Xuanyuan Ye, I can leave by myself." She shouted at him angrily.
He tilted his head and said, "If you dare to shout again, I will carry you away."
She immediately shut up and protested at him with her eyes.
Not far after walking out, several maids passing out snacks suddenly appeared in front of her. Zhong Yuxi's struggling hands were suddenly freed. Her confusion was immediately understood when she saw who the leader among the maids was.
Love.
She was transferred from His Highness the Sixth Prince to the kitchen and became the head maid there.
Bai Lianpu stopped in front of them with a plate of snacks and signaled to the maids behind them that they could leave first.
Her eyes swept across Zhong Yuxi's face, and finally landed on Xuanyuan Ye. She bowed and said, "Your Highness."
Xuanyuan Ye smiled, "Are you still getting used to the new job?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's okay." Although it was a thank you, Zhong Yuxi could clearly hear the resentment in his words, because since returning to the palace, Xuanyuan Ye had not looked for her except for transferring her to a new position. She
Thinking that he was busy, he tried his best to find excuses to convince himself, but he was so busy that he had time to be here with Zhong Yuxi.
Although he was so resentful in his heart, his face was still as harmonious as the spring breeze, "I just want to send some snacks to His Majesty, so I won't disturb His Majesty the Crown Prince."
"Well, you go and do your work."
Lian Mao walked past the two of them carrying a plate. When she passed by Zhong Yuxi, Zhong Yuxi suddenly felt a strong air of cold air coming towards her face. There was clearly a deep resentment hidden under Lian Mao's peaceful eyes.
.
Xuanyuan Ye kept sending her back and stopped when he reached the door. This was a palace after all, and there were many people and eyes, so given his status, he still had to avoid suspicion.
"In two days, I have to leave the palace to do some things." Seeing her walking into the house without looking back, he spoke quietly behind her.
Zhong Yuxi stopped and thought to herself: Is he going to deal with Ye Di?
"These days when I'm not here, you'd better stay in Cuihua Hall." The warning in his words was so strong that Zhong Yuxi's heart trembled, as if there was some unknown danger taking a step forward.
As if stepping closer.
"You should understand after staying in the palace for such a long time. There are many disputes in the palace. It is better to do less than to do more. Being nosy has always been your weakness. You have to endure it these days." He sighed inaudibly.
: "I know you are still blaming me. You may not listen to what I say. Just treat me as an ordinary passerby and just listen."
After Xuanyuan Ye finished speaking, he turned to leave when Zhong Yuxi suddenly called him from behind.
