At noon the next day, Xie Youwei packed up and went out in the direction of Huifeng Lake.
Although it's still early spring, the sun is already getting a little brighter.
Although Xie Youwei is not really sick, but he was raised in a pampered manner, and he can hardly open his eyes under this sun.
Xie Youwei walked all the way there, putting her hand on her forehead to block the sun.
The closer to Huifeng Lake, the more comments Xie Youwei heard.
Almost all the vendors and pedestrians around were talking in low voices.
"That's your prince, right?"
"I heard he has a good temper, but that face... it's a pity..."
"Hey, you know, I heard that the Queen Mother granted marriage to Prince Ling and the young lady from the Xie family yesterday!"
"Which lady from the Xie family?"
"It's the one from General Xie's family, the one who just returned to the capital recently!"
"Ah! Is it the sick man? One is a sick man and the other is disfigured. This engagement is quite suitable."
It seems that the news of the marriage has spread all over the streets.
Xicui clenched her fists when she heard this, and she was so excited that she wanted to rush over and beat up everyone who said bad things about her lady on the roadside.
Xie Youwei grabbed Xicui.
"They are just discussing what to do with Qi. I'm not really sick."
"Miss..." Xicui called out aggrievedly, and finally suppressed the anger in her heart with Xie Youwei's faint smile, and walked obediently behind Xie Youwei.
Because of an injury on his foot, Xie Youwei was not very fast and walked for a while before arriving.
When she saw the white figure on the edge of Huifeng Lake, Xie Youwei couldn't help but open her lips in surprise.
Then he picked up his speed and walked over there.
Xiao Jinyan had already noticed Xie Youwei walking over.
Before Xie Youwei could walk towards him, Xiao Jinyan took a step forward and walked to Xie Youwei's side.
"I'm sorry to keep His Royal Highness waiting for so long."
Xiao Jinyan looked at Xie Youwei and did not answer immediately.
Xie Youwei raised his head in confusion and looked at Xiao Jinyan.
Because she was going to be released today, Xie Youwei still maintained her persona of a sickly beauty and dressed plainly.
Wearing an emerald green blouse and an off-white flowy pleated skirt, a jade banbu hung on the waist, and the tassel hanging on the lower end swayed slightly with Xie Youwei's movements.
Xie Youwei only had a few white jade hairpins on her head today.
Xiao Jinyan's eyes fell on the hairpin, and he suddenly thought of the silk begonia that day.
She thought that Xie Youwei would look better with a hairpin.
Xie Youwei couldn't wait for a reply, so he couldn't help but speak again.
"His Royal Highness?"
Xiao Jinyan was brought back to his senses by this sound and looked away from Xie Youwei's hairpin.
"No problem."
Xie Youwei blinked and sighed in his heart.
As worthy of being the villain of the original novel, she couldn't even understand what this guy was thinking.
But as long as we achieve our goal today, it will be fine.
There are a lot of people by the lake, not to mention these two people have been the focus of everyone's discussion recently, so they naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
Listening to the constant discussions from other people around him, even Xie Youwei couldn't help but frown.
Sick, ugly, monster...
His Royal Highness sounds like he has many more nicknames than hers.
Xie Youwei quietly looked at Xiao Jinyan, but the mask on his face blocked Xie Youwei's exploration, and she could only see those eyes.
It's a pair of very beautiful eyes.
The two people's eyes suddenly collided, making Xie Youwei's heart beat uncontrollably.
Xie Youwei moved his eyes away and looked towards the lake.
"Your Highness, I have booked a boat. If you don't mind, we can go there and have a chat?"
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xie Youwei.
"Um."
Xie Youwei looked at Xiao Jinyan a few more times strangely.
Don’t they all say that this guy is very gentle?
Why don't I feel like it? It's so cold, and I just popped out a few words in a long time.
Your Majesty, has your character given up?
"Your Highness, please come with me."
Xiao Jinyan said nothing, but followed Xie Youwei step by step.
He stood behind and watched as Xie Youwei lifted up her skirt and stepped onto the boat with one foot.
Many people like to talk about things on the boat.
The boat rowed out and stopped in the middle of the lake.
The voices of those people discussing on the shore disappeared instantly.
Likewise, none of what they say will be heard.
Whether as Xiao Jinyan or Chu Qin, he has been here many times.
But this time, Xiao Jinyan felt a bit of expectation in his heart.
I am looking forward to what kind of color this boat will be.
However, when Xie Youwei climbed up with one leg, the ship did not undergo the above changes.
Xiao Jinyan's face under the mask showed a bit of disappointment.
But soon, Xie Youwei took another leg and stood completely on it.
For a moment, the entire boat seemed to have come alive.
There are many patterns painted around the wooden boat, and it is also decorated with many flowers and lanterns.
Colorful and colorful.
Xiao Jinyan saw that the color of the ship's floor was the same color as the hair tie on the back of Xie Youwei's head.
"His Royal Highness?"
Seeing that Xiao Jinyan didn't get on the boat for a long time, Xie Youwei couldn't help but speak out.
Then Xie Youwei saw His Royal Highness and stepped onto the boat as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Xie You lowered his eyes slightly, his eyes even more confused.
Why does this Chu Qin look a bit...stupid?
Is he really the villain?
When urged to move, it really feels like a salted fish left rotten at home being whipped by an old mother.
Xie Youwei shook her head violently, trying to get the thought of the so-called old mother out of her mind.
Hey, what a strange metaphor this is.
After sitting down in the small private room in the boat, Xie Youwei looked at Xiao Jinyan opposite and felt a little nervous for a moment.
Pursing her lips, Xie Youwei poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jinyan.
After handing it to Xiao Jinyan, Xie Youwei suddenly realized something was wrong.
Except for the eyes, Xiao Jinyan's mask was completely sealed.
There was no way he could drink tea without taking off his mask.
After realizing what she had done, Xie Youwei couldn't help but feel upset, but she didn't show anything on her face.
Xiao Jinyan glanced at Xie Youwei, and then at the rippling tea in the cup.
"Thank you, Miss Xie, for the tea."
Xiao Jinyan stretched out his hand and brought the cup of tea in front of him.
Xie You breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the villain is still adopting a gentle character design.
"There's no one here, so I'll just tell you."
Xie Youwei took a deep breath and looked into Xiao Jinyan's eyes.
"I know that His Highness the King agreed to this marriage for the sake of the General's Palace, but it is impossible for the General's Palace to participate in the dispute over imperial power. I'm afraid it will disappoint His Highness the King."
While talking, Xie Youwei quietly looked at Xiao Jinyan's movements.
