Volume 1: Painting Spring Chapter 55: Acting like a baby
The sky is filled with bright stars and the moonlight is hazy and charming.
Everyone in Prince Heng's Mansion had no intention of admiring the sultry night view. His Highness was back, and everyone in the Mansion was happy, but when Xiao Yizheng returned to the Mansion, he faintly said that the gate of the Prince's Mansion would be closed from now on, and no one was allowed to go out, which made them confused and uneasy.
Uncle Zhong was in charge of a group of people waiting for the errands that should be done and the rest that should be taken. So, although everyone wanted to go to Chaolan Garden where the prince rushed to find out something as soon as he came back, they could only think about it.
In Chaolan Garden, everyone was busy serving and comforting Yueying.
Xiao Yizheng said the next sentence: "You go take care of Yueying." Then he led Qingxi directly into the bedroom and closed the door.
After Qingxi left the palace and got into the royal carriage, she wanted to ask him why he came back early.
But Xin Zhao outside the carriage took the initiative to chat with Yue Ying: "It's okay, don't be afraid. His Highness hurried back and went back to the palace first, saying that the princess had entered the palace. He turned around and entered the palace to greet His Majesty and wanted to pick her up.
The princess returned home just in time."
"I really don't know...Brother Zhao...Am I in trouble..." Yueying's voice was trembling and frail, filled with lingering fear and uneasiness.
Qingxi couldn't stand listening anymore and called her: "Yueying, please get in the carriage and sit down."
Yueying thought about the reunion between her young lady and His Highness after a long absence. No matter how scared she was, she could not disturb the two of them's alone time.
But the carriage door had already been pushed open: "Come in." Qingxi urged her without any rebuttal.
Poor Yueying was so frightened that she had to sit on pins and needles in the same carriage with Xiao Yizheng and Qing Xi.
Qingxi held her hand all the way. She knew that he wanted to comfort her and calm her down. Xiao Yizheng, who was on the side, began to close his eyes and rest his mind since Yueying entered.
Therefore, from the palace to the palace, the two of them did not say a word.
Yueying always feels that this atmosphere shouldn't be like this.
Although Qingxi's hand covered Yueying's slightly cold hand, she always felt that what she felt was the warmth of Xiao Yizheng's palm. So after entering the bedroom, she subconsciously held her own hands together, wanting to confirm her
Is there something wrong with the touch?
"Why do you want to get involved?" Xiao Yizheng's deep voice suddenly sounded.
Qingxi suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
She knew that he was asking about designing King Guang.
She looked at him with a serious expression on his face, his eyes looking directly at her, and there was no trace of gentleness in his tone. It was completely different from the gentleness he treated her in the palace tonight, and she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
"Don't you know it's dangerous?" Xiao Yizheng took a step forward, his voice deliberately lowered, but he had the momentum of an army.
Qingxi saw that although his skin was tanned, his face was more three-dimensional and dignified because of his thinness. She stared at him without answering.
"Why don't you reply?" Xiao Yizheng stared at him and asked again.
Speaking of the letter, the four words he wrote to her popped up in Qingxi's mind: Be bold. Listening to his attitude of asking three questions after entering the door, the dissatisfaction in her heart instantly turned into grievance.
There seemed to be some damp feeling in her eyes, which was getting stronger and stronger. She tried desperately to control it, but to no avail. Her eyes were filled with tears, and they just flowed down slowly. When the tears flowed down uncontrollably, she suddenly didn't want to hold them back.
He replied loudly: "Your Highness, when you come back, will you call for punishment? Don't you just want to say that I am bold and unruly? I am the one who made my own decision. I am not overestimating my own capabilities. I should not worry about your affairs. I should not
In Prince Heng's Mansion, that's it!" She said a lot at once, and the more she spoke, the more she felt sad. The more she spoke, the less concerned she was about what she was saying, and the more tears she shed, she just cried wildly.
He stood up, completely ignoring the stunned people beside him.
Xiao Yizheng never expected that she would actually cry when asked by him.
This is not the first time he has seen a woman cry. In the past, no matter which woman cried for whatever reason, if he felt that he should comfort her, he would comfort her with a sympathetic, friendly and polite attitude.
But at this moment, Qingxi's unexpected tears and accusations made him suddenly panic, and he didn't know what to do. Something in his heart seemed to be cut open by a sharp knife, which made him shrink and hurt. He was very uncomfortable and regretful.
Why did he let her get involved and make her so sad?
He watched Qing Xi turn her back, her slender back twitching slightly, feeling very unhappy. He instinctively wanted to go forward and massage her back gently, but in the end he sighed and did not do so.
He stepped in front of her, pulled out the silk handkerchief in her hand, raised his hand and gently wiped her tears.
Qingxi did not resist, but lowered her head slightly and did not look at him. She was tired of crying. The distance between the two was quite close, and she could hear the heavy breathing of the person in front of her, which seemed a little nervous and disordered.
Xiao Yizheng coughed twice and said softly: "Stop crying, I didn't say that to you."
Qingxi suddenly raised his head, his bright black eyes full of Xiao Yizheng's eyebrows: "You do! You said I was daring!"
Xiao Yizheng paused, then with a smile on his lips, he lightly tapped her forehead: "You were waiting for me here, you are indeed bold."
Qingxi snatched the handkerchief from his hand, glared at him, turned around and sat down, straightening her appearance.
She had finished venting her tears and could calm down. It was time to talk to him about tonight's events.
She was just about to speak when she heard Xiao Yizheng sit down next to her and said softly: "I'm sorry and thank you. Ah Heng, please don't take risks with yourself in the future."
Qingxi raised her eyes to look at him. His gentle "I'm sorry" and "Thank you" made her still feel a little grievance and anger. She moved the corner of her mouth and said quite grandly: "I know your Majesty will definitely do it."
Let me tell you the cause and effect. In fact, if Prince Guang does not fall, I will not feel at ease. After all, what happened on Baoding Mountain that day happened. So, I can be regarded as helping myself."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Yizheng frowned slightly, but felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, he emphasized: "No matter what, you can't be so bold in the future."
Qingxi glanced at him, knowing in her heart that he was out of concern, but how come after a trip to the southwest, people became so stupid, and they still mentioned those four words.
Xiao Yizheng also realized this problem and smiled hurriedly and gently, fearing that she would drop the golden beans again.
Qingxi raised his eyebrows and said narrowly: "Your Highness, those four words were really written with great force. I don't think they were written by someone with an injured right arm."
Xiao Yizheng knew she was teasing, so he just smiled and subconsciously raised his hand to support the injured part of his right arm. That day, after he anxiously finished writing two letters, the wound on his right arm began to ooze blood, and he was scolded by the military doctor for a long time.
Seeing that Zhi was smiling and silent, Qingxi had no intention of teasing him. Seeing him holding his right arm, Qingxi asked urgently: "Is the injury serious? Does the wound still hurt?"
Xiao Yizheng saw her concerned face and her eyes falling on his right arm. He felt warm in his heart and shook his head: "Nothing." When he saw Qing Xi's eyes not moving away, he also looked at her quietly.
He had been gone for more than three months, from early summer to early autumn. The face in front of him was obviously a little thinner: "So it's because of those four words that you are angry with me and don't want to reply to my letter?" he asked.
Qingxi's eyes paused, noncommittal.
This answer was difficult for her to answer, yes and no.
Xiao Yizheng thought she acquiesced, so he smiled and said: "I didn't know you could be so stingy." He said it quite dotingly.
Originally, Qingxi was never happy about others saying she was petty, but he said it in a very doting and conniving way, and she could hear the praise.
"I heard the news in Southwest Chuchu, but I didn't know the specific situation. I was anxious and angry, so I wrote those four words." Xiao Yizheng continued to explain.
Qingxi nodded.
Xiao Yizheng then asked: "How have you been in the mansion these past few months? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Qingxi nodded again, as if remembering something, turned away from his gaze, looked at the lights on the side and said: "Miss Li is in the mansion, and we often talk and laugh together. In fact, Miss Li is also the key to Prince Guang's affairs.
If she hadn't seen the leader's background, the court's interrogation might not have been so smooth." After she finished speaking, she didn't hear Xiao Yizheng's reply for a while, so she moved her eyes and met Xiao Yizheng's eyes again.
Xiao Yizheng's face showed inquisitiveness, and he looked at her with a pair of eyes, as if to wrap her up in his eyes. This look made her heart beat faster again. She blinked and touched her face.
, I have no tears for a long time, why is he looking at me like this.
She bit her lip and said hesitantly: "Would you like to go see Miss Li now? She is in the evening..."
"Why should I go see her now?"
Before she could finish her words, she was abruptly interrupted by Xiao Yizheng.
His tone was not as gentle as the kiss just now, but rather dry and hoarse.
Qingxi was stunned and didn't know how to reply.
Xiao Yizheng stared at her and asked directly: "Li Han lives in the mansion, do you not mind at all?"
The corner of Qingxi's mouth moved. In fact, she had wanted to talk to him about this issue a long time ago, but she seemed to have such an opportunity tonight, but she didn't know how to say it. Originally, she wanted to say that she minded, at least in
During the one year of their contract, she didn't want any of his confidants in the house. But in the current situation, how could she say she didn't mind. She was the one who let him live in the house, and besides, Li Han had also made great contributions, and the emperor already knew about it and all
Without saying a word, it was already acquiescence. How could she allow him to move out and break up a couple? This was the last thing she disdained to do.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Yizheng leaned forward and asked, "Don't you mind at all?"
Qingxi looked at him, a little confused. Logically speaking, he expected to hear that he didn't mind. But with his expression, he couldn't figure it out at all. Did he hope that he said he didn't mind, or did he mind?
She smiled lightly and said vaguely: "Since you are back, you still have to make the decision regarding Miss Li."
Xiao Yizheng's frown deepened. He saw her casually grabbing the tea cup and swallowing the tea. There was still a smile on her lips. He did not continue to ask, but stood up and said: "Everyone is tired today. Let's rest first."
Come on."
"Then what happened tonight..." Qingxi wanted to discuss matters in the palace with him, but she saw him shaking his head and saying, "There is no rush. Don't worry, I won't let you and Yueying suffer in vain."
After saying that, he walked towards the door. When he was about to push the door open, he paused, turned to look at Qingxi and said: "I shouldn't, and I don't want to, trap you in the palace and involve you in the complicated situation of the court.
, the royal family is in strife. You should have a freer and more unfettered life. Just bear with it a little longer."
