In Yuqing Pavilion, Xia Jingyan was sitting in his small courtyard, looking at the twinkling stars, feeling very bad, and folding the peonies that were blooming next to them one by one.
Lu Chaoya stood behind, not knowing what to say, so she could only stand annoyed.
Xia Jingxuan and Xia Jingchen both went back to their respective rooms. Xia Jingsheng chose between Zhunxu Pavilion and Yuqing Pavilion. "Trivial matters" and "sister", is there any need to choose? It must be my sister!
After a while, Xia Jingsheng walked quietly behind Lu Chaoya and Xia Jingyan. No one noticed him. He walked forward and poked Lu Chaoya gently. Lu Chaoya turned around and saw Xia Jingsheng, and immediately understood and stepped aside knowingly.
Only Xia Jingsheng and Xia Jingyan were left.
Xia Jingyan didn't know that Xia Jingsheng was coming. He thought it was Lu Chaoya behind him and complained without any scruples: "Chaoya, tell me, how nice it would be if our family was an ordinary family..."
Xia Jingsheng stopped walking towards Xia Jingyan and wanted to continue listening to her.
"If we were really an ordinary family, Brother Wang wouldn't have to lock himself in that golden cage every day to take care of all the trivial matters, and he would be able to spend more time with me."
Xia Jingyan looked at the sky. Under the mask, she could only complain like this.
"It was fine when I was a kid, but since Brother Wang became the prince, his free time has become tighter day by day. Sometimes I look at Brother Wang's room, the lights are still on in the middle of the night, and it makes me feel bad to see it. Also, if I wasn't
Princess, I don’t have to be locked up in the palace every day. You see, I can only see out the day from this small square. Of course, this is the most important point..." Xia Jingyan paused, "
Of course I don’t need to memorize so many poems anymore! I have to be chased and beaten by my second brother every day.”
Xia Jingsheng almost couldn't help laughing when he heard Xia Jingyan's "most important point". Seeing that Xia Jingyan didn't say anything further, he gently stepped forward and hugged Xia Jingyan from behind: "What do you mean by this?"
Talk to Jingxuan."
"Brother Wang!" When Xia Jingyan heard something was wrong in the voice, he immediately turned his head and saw Xia Jingsheng's eyes full of soft light looking at her.
"Brother Wang, why are you here?" Xia Jingyan looked at Xia Jingsheng, completely forgetting what he had just said about "looking at the stars."
Xia Jingsheng is the prince and has very little time to spend with Xia Jingyan. Even if Xia Jingyan still remembers it, he never dares to think that Xia Jingsheng will take him to watch the stars in the middle of the night. After all, Xia Jingsheng has a lot of official duties the next day.
"Didn't Yan'er say that I want Brother Wang to accompany you to watch the stars?" Xia Jingsheng hugged Xia Jingyan, feeling that the happiest thing in the world could be nothing more than this.
"But Brother Wang, you still have a lot of government affairs to be busy with tomorrow." Xia Jingyan turned away with a helpless expression, thinking that Xia Jingsheng couldn't delay people's livelihood because of him, he would leave after a while.
"Brother Wang just wants to be like an ordinary brother today. He doesn't need to be busy with government affairs and official documents. He can just accompany Yan'er to look at the sky full of stars." Xia Jingsheng's eyes suddenly looked sad when he looked at Xia Jingyan.
Accompany Xia Jingyan.
Xia Jingsheng knew that Xia Jingyan lost his biological mother when he was only one year old. The previous king of Xia never loved his children and did not give her much care. The only ones who could protect Xia Jingyan were these brothers.
But Xia Jingsheng is busy. Today's emperor is too promiscuous and does not take care of business. There is only one Xia king left in the capital. In these years, Xia Jingsheng has been like the second emperor, and all political affairs have to be directed to him. Although Xia Jingxuan is better, but
He is a marquis and has to assist the government. Although Xia Jingchen is young, Emperor Yuan will not let him go. He is a general and needs to train his troops. Although the three of them are in the Xia Prince's Mansion and see each other every day, they feel like they are separated from Xia Jingyan.
Although Xia Jingyan was always smiling, Xia Jingsheng couldn't count how many times she had complained like this.
Therefore, Xia Jingyan often got into trouble, and the three Xia brothers always favored her, because they all believed that they owed Xia Jingyan.
"Brother Wang still heard it..." Xia Jingyan had a "fake smile" on her face. She actually hoped that Xia Jingsheng could really accompany her, but it was just hope.
"Brother Wang doesn't want to think about anything right now. He just wants to accompany Brother Wang's Yaner, and Brother Wang will watch the stars with you."
Xia Jingyan smiled happily. After receiving a positive reply, he immediately moved to the side to make room for Xia Jingsheng to sit.
Xia Jingsheng seemed to have thought of something suddenly. Instead of sitting down, he smiled brightly at Xia Jingyan and said, "Yan'er, didn't you say that you can only see a small square when looking out from this palace?"
"Then where to look? Fly to the roof?" Xia Jingyan didn't react yet, his face full of confusion.
"Brother Wang, I'll take you to a good place." As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Jingsheng took Xia Jingyan's hand, pulled it into his arms, and lightly jumped to the roof.
"Brother Wang, where are we going? Sneak out of the palace!" Xia Jingyan's eyes almost gleamed when he thought of this.
Although it was normal for him to leave the house, Xia Jingyan could not express this in front of Xia Jingsheng.
"You will know in a moment, but now Brother Wang tells you, there will be no surprises in a moment!" Xia Jingsheng was still showing off his mystery. Fortunately, such a prince did not let outsiders see it, otherwise the capital would have been busy for several days.
Xia Jingsheng jumped off the roof again with Xia Jingyan, dragged out the dozing "Xuehou" from the stable, carried Xia Jingyan onto the horse, sat on it himself, and drove the horse to rush out of the city.
"We have to leave the city!" Xia Jingyan looked at Xia Jingsheng happily. Xia Jingsheng smiled back at Xia Jingyan and continued to gallop.
After a while, the two came to the city gate. The soldier wearing a steel helmet was still dozing off. The sound of heavy horse hooves woke him up: "Who is so bold! You are not allowed to leave the city at midnight!"
"It's my king." Xia Jingsheng threw him a golden token. The soldier held it like a hot potato and almost dropped it. He secretly cursed himself, and he must first check who he is before yelling at someone next time.
"My subordinates are meeting with the prince. I wonder why the prince is out of the city in the middle of the night. Do you need me to summon someone to accompany you?"
Seeing the soldier's legs shaking with fear, Xia Jingyan accidentally laughed out loud, and Xia Jingsheng also smiled at Xia Jingyan.
The soldier quietly raised his head and took a look. He didn't recognize Xia Jingyan, so in his eyes, it was Xia Jingsheng who was leaving the city holding a pretty little beauty.
"There is no need to call anyone, I just want to take my little beauty out to see the stars." Xia Jingsheng thought that saying "my" was clear enough, but the soldier didn't think so.
"My future princess? They even went out to look at the stars! They are so loving, they are a model couple in the world! But who is this beauty? There are no rumors that the prince is close to any young lady. Could it be..."
Before he could continue to think nonsense, Xia Jingsheng had already driven Xue Hou away.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the "good place" that Xia Jingsheng said, which was an open pasture with dancing fireflies.
"It's so beautiful here!" Xia Jingyan turned back and smiled sweetly at Xia Jingsheng: "Brother Wang, how did you find this good place?"
"Brother Wang found it accidentally during the last hunting trip. I thought Yan'er would like it, so I brought you to have a look." Xia Jingsheng looked straight at Xia Jingyan when he spoke, not even wanting to look away.
The sky here is endless, which is much better than the "small square" in the palace. The shining stars hang in the sky, reflecting the grassland very brightly.
"Yan'er, you really like it."
"I like it! What Brother Wang brings to Yan'er is always the best!"
Under the moonlight, in Xia Jingsheng's eyes, Xia Jingyan will always be the child who will never grow up.
Xia Jingyan was tired from playing, so he and Xia Jingsheng lay on the grass and looked at the stars.
"Brother Wang, Yan'er suddenly discovered something," Xia Jingyan got into Xia Jingsheng's arms and looked at Xia Jingsheng with a smile.
"What's going on?" Xia Jingsheng was a little sleepy and his eyes were a little blurry, but when he heard Xia Jingyan's voice, he turned his head and hugged Xia Jingyan.
"Yan'er discovered that Brother Wang's eyes are much more beautiful than the starry sky." Xia Jingyan lay in Xia Jingsheng's arms, as if he was in the safest harbor in the world.
Xia Jingsheng burst out laughing, kissed Xia Jingyan on the forehead, and said, "Of course, because Brother Wang only sees Yan'er, and Yan'er is the most beautiful girl in the world."
After a while, Xia Jingyan fell asleep. He was no longer "noisy" as usual and was very quiet.
