In a quiet courtyard of the Princess Mansion, Princess Anyang ran in with a flushed face and a slight breath. It was obvious that she had run a lot before.
"Mother, I..." As soon as she stepped into the room, Princess Anyang's words were cut off as soon as she left her mouth.
She stood at the door a little sluggishly, her little face that was red just now turned pale in an instant, and her body was stiff as if she didn't even know where to put her arms and legs.
Princess Changling is drinking tea and talking with someone.
Although she is already thirty-four years old, her years of pampering make her look as if she is only twenty-six or seventeen years old. Her eyebrows are beautiful, her complexion is as white as jade, and her whole person seems to contain a soft and elegant light.
The princess was not surprised to see her daughter like this. She waved to her with a smile: "Why are you so reckless? Why don't you come over and salute your uncle?"
Princess Anyang's limbs were still stiff, and she walked to her mother's side with hands and feet.
As if he had gained a little sense of security, he had the courage to look at the man sitting aside again and whispered: "Anyang has met... uncle, uncle."
There is no arrogance at all like before, like a frustrated little quail.
We really can’t blame Princess Anyang for being timid.
Two years ago, Princess Changling went to visit Princess Anyang. The mother and daughter encountered bandits during their trip, and the group almost suffered disaster. They happened to meet Xie, who was in an emergency and had only brought a dozen light horses back to Beijing from the border.
Yan, this way we can avoid disaster.
Logically Princess Anyang should be grateful and dependent on Xie Yan, but Xie Yan really didn't care at all about the psychological protection of underage girls.
Princess Anyang was only in her early teens at the time, and she watched helplessly as Xie Yan killed more than a dozen bandits with a style that was even more efficient than chopping melons and vegetables.
A little girl of this age had never even seen a chicken being killed, so she really couldn't appreciate the violent aesthetics of blood splattering and broken limbs flying everywhere, so she fainted from fear on the spot.
Coupled with some rumors that were already widely circulated, when Xie Yan was seen afterwards, he was shaking like a rabbit meeting a tiger. If the two of them hadn't rarely met, Princess Anyang suspected that she would be scared to death.
Woohoo... I really want to cry, why did she come to find her mother?
Xie Yan put down the tea cup, glanced at Princess Anyang, and nodded slightly.
Princess Anyang breathed a sigh of relief and moved closer to her mother, holding on to her sleeves.
Of course the eldest princess saw that her daughter was afraid of Xie Yan, and felt helpless.
He patted his daughter's back gently and said with a smile: "If you don't play outside, why are you here?"
Anyang. Little Quail. The princess is too timid to speak.
"No..." Just as he was about to run away, he saw Xie Yan glance over at her. Princess Anyang was so excited that she quickly took out the knotting book she had written and held it up to her mother.
The eldest princess took it and opened it with some doubts, "Princess Qie Anyang volunteered to compete with the daughter of General Dingguo. You will be responsible for the loss or death in the ring. The eldest princess of Changling will never cause trouble for the Luo family afterwards... Ning'er!"
The eldest princess is helpless. Her precious daughter has been weak since she was a child. In the past two years, she has finally recovered and learned some kung fu. She always wants to compete with others.
I didn't expect that I would find a girl from the Luo family right after I came back. It's really...
Just as he was about to teach his daughter a few words, Princess Anyang quickly lowered her head and said, "Mother, my daughter knows she was wrong."
Admit your mistake so quickly?
Looking at Xie Yan, who was sitting silently next to her, the eldest princess rubbed her brows and said, "Zhifei, don't scare Ning'er."
There are not many people in the world who are not afraid of Xie Yan, but the eldest princess happens to be one of them. Unfortunately, her daughter is not like him in this regard.
Xie Yan said nothing, he really didn't mean to scare people, but the little girl was so scared when she saw him that he couldn't help it.
So he stood up and said, "I will leave first."
The eldest princess saw that Princess Anyang was really frightened, so she had to say: "Your injury has not healed yet. Mingyue Pavilion has been keeping it for you. You go there to rest for a while. We will talk about what you just said later."
Xie Yan frowned slightly and obviously didn't want to stay for a long time. The eldest princess pretended to be angry and said: "Doesn't my place count as your home? Why are you going back and forth? Go and have a rest. Why don't you go back and have a meal with eldest sister?"
Xie Yan glanced at her and walked out without saying anything else, but the eldest princess knew that he had agreed.
"Mother..." As soon as Xie Yan left, Princess Anyang fell into the arms of the eldest princess: "Uncle...it's so scary."
The eldest princess touched her daughter's little face: "Silly girl, your uncle saved you. He will not hurt you."
Princess Anyang trembled and said: "I...I know." She knew that the uncle regent was a good person.
But, it’s useless to know.
As he spoke, the scene that day couldn't help but reappear in his mind, and Princess Anyang couldn't help but shudder.
Princess Changling said softly: "You are still young, you will know when you grow up. Your uncle... he is a very good person."
Luo Junyao followed Xie Chengyou into the bamboo forest at the end of the garden and stopped. The bamboo forest was not big, and after walking a hundred or so steps, he could vaguely see the houses at the other end of the bamboo forest.
Luo Junyao said: "Whatever you want to talk about, just say it."
Seeing her staying far away from him, Xie Chengyou chuckled and said, "Jun Yao, it was my fault before, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Luo Junyao said disgustedly: "Can you speak nicely? Can you stop being so sticky?"
Xie Chengyou sighed: "I was too anxious before. I was really worried that General Luo would object, so I thought... my attitude and tone were not very good at the time. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Luo Jun shook his head and found with some displeasure that he was much shorter. He could only look up at Xie Chengyou: "So what do you want to say?"
Xie Chengyou was silent for a moment and said: "Jun Yao, I was too cold to you before. I just... I just don't want people to think that I only dated you because of General Luo..."
Luo Junyao asked curiously: "Is it not because of my father that you are looking for me to apologize now?"
Xie Chengyou choked for a moment, secretly took a breath and continued: "Jun Yao, I admit that I had some good face before, I am a man after all. You also know... I am not my father's biological father, my biological father is just the concubine of Prince Mu's palace.
In the past few years, some people have been secretly talking about me, saying that I coveted my father's throne and passed to the Regent's Palace. But... these are my grandfather's decisions, let alone me. Even my father can't object? What if?
Okay... who doesn't want to live in harmony as a family? Now others look at me for glory, but my father is not in the capital all year round, and the brothers in Prince Mu's Mansion no longer regard me as their biological brother."
Xie Chengyou said it sincerely, and Luo Junyao listened with great interest.
Seeing Xie Chengyou stop talking, he asked enthusiastically: "What next?"
"..." Xie Chengyou was speechless.
Luo Junyao glanced at him unhappily: Why didn't you say anything again?
Xie Chengyou took a deep breath again, with soft eyes: "Jun Yao, it was all my fault before. I shouldn't have deliberately ignored you for the sake of reputation. Tomorrow I will go to the Luo family, kowtow to General Luo and ask him to betroth you.
Give it to me, okay?"
"..." You're thinking shit!

La la, I know you are very interested in putting it on the shelves~ I can’t make it this month. It will be put on the shelves early next month. The specific time should be May or Six~ Mum. And, today’s second update, let’s meet Yao Yao and Wang Ye~
ps:
Although the Regent is a bit cold, he is a normal person with good physical and mental health. He is not mentally abnormal or dark, and has no blood feud to avenge. He is a good person. The coldness that seems scary is really just because he has been on the battlefield for too long and killed too many people.
There's too much on my shoulders. I'm just... so tired that I don't even want to make an expression.
