Yun Xi and a group of four people returned to the princess's mansion.

She asked the maid to set up a table with fruits in the pavilion. After Qin Xi and Pei Jiji took their seats, she found an excuse and took Yun Wangshu to leave.

Yun Wangshu struggled to free himself, "I haven't eaten the apricots yet? What are Yun Xi and you going to take me to?"

"Let's go eat something else delicious."

Yun Wangshu said very firmly, "I want to eat apricots."

Yun Xihe couldn't pull her away, so he had to persuade her, "I'll take you to eat fresh food from the trees."

Yun Wangshu's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward, "...let's go then!"

Yun Xihe smiled and said, "What a good girl who knows the current affairs."

Hearing this, Qin Xi's calm face almost became unbearable.

In the blink of an eye, she and Pei Yu were the only two people left in the pavilion. The pavilion was built on the water, with tencel hanging on all sides to block mosquitoes, and ice cubes placed on the four corners. The breeze blew, and the fragrance of the first lotus was refreshing and pleasant.

.

The two were silent for a long time, and Pei Yu finally made up his mind that as a man, he must cherish this hard-won opportunity.

His face, as handsome as an immortal, had a rare hint of shyness, "Princess Youning, long time no see, how are you doing lately."

Qin Xi held the handkerchief in her hand, wiped the sweat from her palms, and replied solemnly, "This princess is very good. How is Pei Jijiu?"

Pei Yu nodded, "Weichen is also very good."

It was a very boring conversation, but the two people looked at each other inexplicably, and suddenly they both laughed. For a while, the pavilion became a little more enthusiastic.

Qin Xi raised her red lips and asked softly, "I wonder where Pei Jijiu went during his travels?"

She originally had a sharp chin, a high nose bridge, broad eyebrows, and a very free and easy appearance, but now she has a springy and tender look, with the black hair on her ears raised, and her slender eyebrows with a girlish look.

Innocent and beyond beautiful.

When Pei Yu looked at her and spoke, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if they were tickling his heart. He looked at her blankly.

After Qin Xi asked, she didn't wait for Pei Yu's answer for a long time. She raised her eyes in surprise and immediately fell into his pair of extremely lingering eyes. She immediately felt her face getting hot.

"Cough..." After a while, she coughed slightly uncomfortably, taking it as a reminder.

Pei Yu blinked stiffly, "Yes... I went to many places. The most interesting one was the Miao Mountains in southeastern Guizhou. Wei Chen walked in the mountains for three days and three nights, almost running out of food and water, before he finally

Find the entrance to the village."

Qin Xi was quite surprised, "Miaoling? Is that the hidden tribe that Pei Jijiu went to? I heard that the people in that tribe are particularly defensive. If a stranger breaks in, it will be difficult to survive. Mr. Pei can't even survive in such a dragon pool and tiger's den."

It's really admirable to dare to break through."

Pei Yu smiled and said, "It's just because the people from the hidden tribe are rumored to have superb medical skills, so I decided to take the risk."

"oh?"

Pei Yu rolled the tip of his tongue against his teeth. He didn't know how to answer this. He just felt that Qin Xi's curious eyes had almost completely seen him.

He looked thoughtful and slowly expressed his feelings,

"Weichen has a beautiful woman who suffers from a hidden disease that cannot be treated by ordinary doctors. Weichen has been traveling around for so many years just to seek medical treatment for her. He only thinks about making her healthy, so he does not feel any hardship or danger.

Already."

"I didn't know... Master Pei, who has always been at ease, would be so affectionate."

Qin Xi felt sad in her heart, and she couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. Did Pei Yu see what she was thinking, and that's why he told her so anxiously that he already had a sweetheart?

Pei Yu didn't expect that she would misunderstand him, so he blurted out in desperation, "Eldest Princess, why don't you ask whose girl Wei Chen's sweetheart is?"

Qin Xi felt that her heart was about to break, but the princess' pride still held her up. She looked at the yellow apricots on the table, picked one up, put it to her lips, and took a bite.

The apricots were ripe, and the sweet and soft flesh made her taste sour and astringent as soon as she took her mouth.

She swallowed the pulp between her lips as though it were chewing food, forced a smile and asked, "Who is it?"

After saying these words, she instantly felt a numbness rising from the soles of her feet, causing her whole body to tremble slightly. She didn't know what expression she had on her face, she just felt that her mind was in a trance, and she seemed to be eager to think.

I heard the answer, but I was afraid of hearing the answer.

Over the years, she has always appeared to be indulging in fun by hanging out at various lively banquets. Everyone said that Princess Youning was a blessing from heaven. Even if she was pampered, it was allowed by God.

But no one has ever understood the pain in her heart.

She suffered from epilepsy in front of the person she loved, allowing him to completely see her ugly self.

This became a knot that she couldn't untie in her heart. Every time she thought about it, she felt like she was going to sink into the dust.

She originally thought that under Xihe's diagnosis and treatment, she finally saw the hope of health, and she had the confidence to get closer to him. But she heard from his mouth that he actually went to seek medical advice for the person he liked. These two things

In comparison, how can it not be heartbreaking.

But even if you die, you must die clearly.

Pei Yu was also nervous.

Although the Pei family's family background is quite prominent, compared with the background of the eldest princess, it is not impressive at all. The startling glimpse of the noble and proud eldest princess Youning when he was a boy left a mark in his heart

An indelible impression.

Until that time he saw her suddenly falling ill in front of him and almost dying, which completely frightened him.

Every time Pei Yu thinks about it, he feels distressed and terrified. This is the most real reason why he has traveled frequently for so many years.

He took a deep breath and pondered in his heart how to say these words so that the eldest princess could understand his intentions and make her feel like a bad boy.

At this time, Qin Xuanling also arrived at Princess Xihe's mansion.

The guard at the door of the house was about to report, but Qin Xuanling raised his hand to stop, "No need."

After all, he had arranged this house for Xihe. If he still needed to report it, how could he let the greedy Pei Jijiu know that I and Yun Xihe were already very close!

The gatekeeper didn't dare to say anything, but he only dared to reply, "Yes, Your Majesty, please excuse me. The princess is waiting for guests at the pavilion on the water."

Qin Xuanling snorted softly, holding the realgar wine in his hand and strode in!

Isn't that pavilion on the water where Yun Xihe played the piano and listened to him last time?

Didn't Pei Jijiu say he was here to eat apricots, so he deserved to stay there!!!

Qin Xi waited here and there. He didn't hear Pei Yu's answer. He only felt that his heart was as painful as a dull knife cutting flesh. He simply urged him and asked, "Pei Jijiu hasn't said yet, what is your favorite thing?"

Home girl."

Pei met her urging and took a deep breath, "The person who pleases me is exactly..."

Here, Qin Xuanling entered the princess's palace by a familiar road. From a distance, he saw in the pavilion a man and a woman sitting opposite each other, looking at each other. He couldn't help but move faster with his feet. He lifted his breath and flew across the water towards the pavilion.

.

Pei Yu and Qin Xi were watching each other's reactions nervously, and neither of them noticed Qin Xuanling's sudden appearance.

Qin Xi's eyes were slightly moist and hot, "Who is it?"

Pei Yu's voice was trembling, almost unreadable, "It's Princess Youning."
