Why did Hu Yafei come all the way to blow the cold wind on the palace wall?
That's naturally because Zhao Qing is here.
It's just that Hu Yafei wouldn't say this.
Hu Yafei just said lightly: "The view here is good, you can have a panoramic view of the palace."
Xiao Yao took a step forward and stood beside her, then smiled and said, "Indeed, the view is very good."
But Xiao Yao still didn't believe Hu Yafei's words.
Because based on his understanding of Hu Yafei these days, he would not think that Hu Yafei was interested in the scenery of the palace.
She was born and raised in southern Xinjiang. She is like a free bird, so she would not like this cage-like palace.
Xiao Yao didn't say anything, but suddenly asked Zhao Qing who was standing aside: "This general, have we met somewhere before? He looks familiar."
Zhao Qing lowered his head slightly and said in a calm tone: "This subordinate is responsible for guarding the palace. His Royal Highnesses often walk around the palace, so it is normal for him to think that his subordinates are familiar."
Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Zhao Qing was silent.
Xiao Yao looked at him, then at Hu Yafei, and said lightly: "Why do I think you have a good relationship with the little princess? Why, have you known each other before?"
Before Zhao Qing could speak, Hu Yafei spoke first.
"What are you doing?" Hu Yafei looked at Xiao Yao with a cold face, "Are you investigating me?"
Xiao Yao: "...No, you misunderstood."
"Did I misunderstand?" Hu Yafei said a little aggressively, "Then why don't you just send someone to follow me? I look at someone more often, talk to someone more often, eat and drink something.
, report them all to you one by one?"
Xiao Yao frowned: "I didn't mean that."
"Xiao Yao," Hu Yafei called Xiao Yao's name so seriously for the first time and said in a deep voice, "Don't say there is no relationship between us yet. Even if we get to that point in the future, you can't control me. I don't
Maybe like the women in your capital, I will become your vassal and obey your words."
Xiao Yao knew that he had stepped on Hu Yafei's bottom line.
He had heard before that the King of Southern Xinjiang loved his daughter very much. He didn't believe it at first, but he saw it today.
Only a girl who has been pampered and grown up can have such strong confidence and willfulness.
Xiao Yao took a deep breath and finally raised his hands in surrender: "I'm sorry, it was my fault just now and I asked something I shouldn't have asked. But I swear, I didn't mean to interfere too much with you, and I never wanted you to do anything to me.
Follow your advice."
Hu Yafei said nothing, but the look on his face was still not very good.
Xiao Yao reached behind him and took something that his attendant had been holding in his hand. He opened it and showed it to Hu Yafei: "Didn't you like the one you went to last time? It was my fault last time.
Let Third Brother spoil your mood. I specially picked these, do you like them?"
His voice was gentle, and when he looked at someone seriously, his eyes looked particularly affectionate.
But Hu Yafei knew that Xiao Yao had never had any thoughts about her other than taking advantage of her.
Hu Yafei's eyes fell on the box in Xiao Yao's hand. Inside was a walking stick made of pure gold. It was exquisitely made and gorgeous in style. It looked like any woman would be tempted by it.
However, Hu Yafei only found it boring.
She was silent for a while, and then said: "His Fourth Highness is serious about it, and I like it very much."
Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, he pointed at the pile of boxes held in the arms of the attendant behind him, and said: "I bought a lot more, how about you take a look at them all?"
Hu Yafei couldn't refuse, so she nodded dullly and left with Xiao Yao.
Before Xiao Yao left, he still couldn't help but look back at the guard. The guard stood there with his head lowered, as motionless as a wooden stake. He could easily be ignored, but Xiao Yao let Xiao Yao
Inexplicably concerned.
But because of Hu Yafei, Xiao Yao couldn't ask any more questions, so he withdrew his gaze and left with Hu Yafei.
It wasn't until both of them disappeared that Zhao Qing, who had been standing there, slowly raised his head.
He thought of the golden walking stick in Xiao Yao's hand, and also thought of Hu Yafei's way of saying "I like it".
He stood silently for a while, then murmured: "Do you like that..."
He silently calculated his savings in his mind, and then realized that with all his savings put together, he might not be able to buy such a golden walking stick.
Zhao Qing suddenly felt a little frustrated and felt that a person like him was not worthy of standing next to Hu Yafei.
With a cold face, he stood on the palace wall blowing the cold wind until his shift was changed, and then he left.
His life was lackluster. Apart from standing guard every day, he would go back to his residence to sleep. But today, for the first time, he changed his clothes and left the palace.
Then, as if in a dream, Zhao Qing wandered to the jewelry store where Hu Yafei and Xiao Yao were shopping.
He stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and walked in.
The clerk greeted him warmly and asked with a smile: "What do you need?"
Zhao Qing recalled Xiao Yao's Jin Bu Yao, and then awkwardly described it to the clerk. The clerk suddenly understood: "Ah, what are you talking about? That's a new model launched by our store. You really have a good vision."
Then, he took Zhao Qing to a place inside, pointed at the Jin Bu Yao on the counter, and said, "Sir, is this one?"
Zhao Qing glanced at it, then nodded, it was indeed this.
The clerk reported a number with a smile and asked Zhao Qing: "Sir, do you want to wrap it for you?"
Zhao Qing: "..."
Zhao Qing clutched her wallet awkwardly, complaining in her heart.
He knew that the golden step was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive that it wouldn't be enough to buy it with all his belongings.
He took a deep breath and asked carefully: "Is there anything... similar to this one, but slightly cheaper?"
The clerk received a lot of people every day, and he knew what kind of situation this person was at a glance. The smile on his face remained unchanged, pretending not to notice anything, and led Zhao Qing to the other side.
"Sir, you can actually take a look at our silver jewelry. Compared with gold jewelry, the workmanship is more exquisite and the styles are more fashionable." The clerk pointed to a stick on the counter and said, "Sir, why don't you take a look at this? This belongs to our shopkeeper.
Designed by myself, it looks simple, but very unique. Compared with that golden walking stick, this one is more special."
Zhao Qing's eyes fell on the silver walking stick. It was indeed as the clerk said, very unique and the workmanship was very exquisite.
After a while, he asked: "How much is this?"
The clerk smiled and quoted the number.
Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief instantly.
This is affordable.
Although he was a pauper after buying it, he was used to being poor and didn't think anything of it.
Without hesitation, he asked the clerk to wrap it up and spent all his belongings.
