During the night, Qingcheng tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Scenes of Xuanyuan Yifei's face flashed through his mind, his gentle eyes, and the warmth of his hands still remaining on the back he had patted.
At dawn, Qingcheng fell asleep in a daze, but was awakened by the sound of voices in the courtyard.
"Butterfly, is the Fourth Miss awake yet?"
"Yes."
"The general asked her to come to the hall immediately."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Beauty."
"You have to hurry up and don't make me take the blame."
When Butterfly came in, Qingcheng had washed up and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror with fluffy hair, worrying about his swollen eye circles.
"Miss Fourth."
"What's up?"
"Well, the general sent someone over and asked the lady to go to the hall."
"Oh! I understand. Get me a basin of hot water first, and then help me comb my hair!" Qingcheng touched the circles under his eyes, really like a panda.
Butterfly poured hot water and handed it to Qingcheng, then started working on her head.
Qingcheng soaked the face towel with hot water, wrung it out, closed his eyes and gently handed it over.
When Butterfly told her that she was fine, Qingcheng took off the face towel and looked at it. Fortunately, the dark circles under his eyes were no longer so obvious.
Looking at the hairpins all over his head, he chuckled: "Butterfly, you really treat my head like a tree, hanging everything up."
Butterfly was looking through the clothes in the cabinet: "General, please go to the hall. I think you should dress up better."
He took them all away, leaving only the gold ring that bound his hair. He then took out a few small silver bead flowers from the box and marked their positions and inserted them next to them. The gold ring and the bead flowers surrounding it glowed with each other, like scattered starlight.
.
"This is too plain! But the lady is naturally beautiful and looks good no matter what." Butterfly looked at Qingcheng and helped her put on the moon-white robe as she spoke.
"You're the only one who can speak, but you still listen to me." Qingcheng nodded with a butterfly on his forehead and said with a smile.
"Ashamed, Miss is not ashamed either."
"Shame, where is the shame?"
Just like that, he walked out of the courtyard laughing all the way. When he reached the hall, Qingcheng stopped, calmed down, took a deep breath and walked in.
Sitting on the main seat in the middle of the hall was a man with a purple gold crown inlaid with jade and rich brocade clothes. He was handsome and handsome, tapping his fingers on the coffee table. There was a domineering look on his face, but he seemed impatient at this time. Sitting on the left and right sides were respectively
The eldest prince Xuanyuan Yifei, the demon prince Ji Jingren, the general father, and the two brothers Qingyang and Qingze.
When he saw Qingcheng coming, the general seemed to finally relax. Xuanyuan Yifei smiled gently at her, and Qingcheng immediately felt like a deer. Ji Jingren's eyes were still cold. Qingyang was full of disdain, while Qingze's eyes were full of disdain.
After thinking about it, the most unique thing was that the person sitting on the main seat, when he saw Qingcheng arriving, immediately walked down from his seat with a smile on his face, took her hand, and before Qingcheng could speak, he smiled and asked loudly:
"You are Qingcheng, the fourth young lady of the Yan family who is both talented and beautiful."
Qingcheng didn't know why. He looked at his father and saw that he seemed not to have seen all this.
Qingcheng took a step back, inadvertently took out his hand from being held, and gave a salute: "The little girl is Yan Qingcheng. I don't know that the young master..."
Without waiting for Qingcheng to speak, he immediately took it over and said with a smile: "My name is Xuanyuan Chengtian, I am the prince of Tianchen, and Xuanyuan Yifei is my imperial brother. Today I was going to visit the countryside with Brother Qingyang. But Yifei
It is said that Qingyang has a sister who is both talented and beautiful, I can't help but want to see her."
"I've said it before. How can a little girl with little talent, little knowledge, and a mediocre appearance be able to attract the attention of a young master?" Seeing Xuanyuan Chengtian's cheerful personality, Qingcheng couldn't help but feel relieved and be a little humble.
"Qingcheng, you really didn't ask me to wait in vain! This trip will not be boring if you accompany me." Xuanyuan Chengtian laughed loudly, seeming to be extremely happy.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants the little girl Qingcheng to accompany him." The general asked as if he was unsure.
"Well, general, don't you agree?" Xuanyuan Chengtian was a little unhappy.
"No, I'm afraid that my daughter will disturb His Highness."
"But we have never taken women with us before, let alone to Lingxiao Mountain." Qingze reminded.
"What's wrong with that?" Xuanyuan Chengtian began to feel a little displeased, coming forward with a domineering attitude.
"Really? Will you take me with you when you go out for fun?" Qingcheng looked at Xuanyuan Chengtian and was overjoyed. This was the mountain that he had been looking at for more than a year, and he eagerly wanted to know what was on the other side of the mountain.
"Well, let's set off now!" Xuanyuan Chengtian said with a smile.
Qingcheng touched the clothes on his body: "Your Highness, please wait for me."
After saying that, he went out like the wind. He ran back to Lanzhu, immediately put on men's clothes, untied his hair and tried to tie it into a men's hairstyle. But he couldn't do it.
Just then Butterfly ran in, saw Qingcheng's appearance, smiled and took her hair: "Fourth Miss, I will do it."
The hair was tied up with Butterfly in a few strokes. Qingcheng looked at the dressed Butterfly and said, "Butterfly, let's go!"
"Um"
When Qingcheng entered the hall again like this, everyone looked at her with different expressions.
Xuanyuan Yifei looked at her with a smile; Ji Jingren's face was full of fun; Qingyang looked puzzled; Qingze seemed to be holding back a laugh; the prince stood up with his mouth wide open, and after a long time he closed it and pointed at her and laughed.
Question: "You really went to change into men's clothes."
"Yes, what's wrong?" Qingcheng asked puzzledly.
"After you left, we made a bet and guessed what you did. I guess you must have gone back to dress up. Yifei said that you changed into men's clothes. Jingren said that you went to take out travel things. Qingyang simply said
He said he didn't know. Qingze said you were going to prepare food for the trip. Haha, Qingcheng, you are really hard to figure out. After getting to know you, it seems that unexpected things will always happen." Xuanyuan Chengtianle laughed.
Looking at Xuanyuan Yifei: "We lost, you can choose something if you like something from us."
Xuanyuan Yifei smiled lightly: "These are all won because of Qingcheng, so I will give them all to Qingcheng."
Turning to look at Qingcheng: "You can pick something you like from them."
"Can I?" Qingcheng looked at the majestic face of the general's father.
Xuanyuan Chengtian glanced sideways: "General, please go down first. There is no need to entertain us here."
"Yes." Before leaving, he glanced at Qingcheng, which was quite meaningful.
"Let's begin!" Xuanyuan Chengtian said with a smile. Why did his voice sound like expectation in Qingcheng.
Everyone started taking out what they had on them.
Qingyang had several silver notes and an exquisite dagger on his body. Qingcheng ignored Qingyang's reluctant gaze and took the dagger and put it on his waist.
In addition to some banknotes, Qingze also had a paper fan. Qingcheng showed the fan and said, "That's it."
Jingren had a stack of banknotes and two jade pendants on his body. Qingcheng glanced at the things and then looked at Jingren: "You still have something on you that you haven't taken out."
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Jingren.
"I didn't." Cold and simple.
"Then what's in your sleeve?" Qingcheng asked, pointing to his left sleeve.
Jingren lifted up his sleeve, revealing a dark red sleeve arrow that was polished to a shine. "Does Fourth Miss Yan even want this?"
"Well, I want this."
Jingren took off the sleeve arrow and handed it over. Qingcheng happily put it on and admired it, then turned around and asked Butterfly: "Does it look good?"
"Miss, those are men's things." Butterfly reminded in a low voice while looking at the playful Qingcheng.
"I like."
There is also no choice for the prince. Qingcheng walked up to him and was considering whether he should be the prince or not.
Xuanyuan Chengtian said: "They don't have anything good on them. I will give you something good right now." After saying that, he pulled out a jade pendant from his clothes and put it on Qingcheng's neck without any explanation.
"Your Highness, no." Several people present said in unison.
Is it something good? Qingcheng looked through it. He saw a jade pendant tied to a thin line of pure gold with the word "天" engraved on it.
Since everyone said no, it must be something valuable to the prince, and he didn't want any of their heirlooms at all. Qingcheng thought about it, so he took it off and handed it to Xuanyuan Chengtian.
Xuanyuan Chengtian took it and put it on Qingcheng's neck. He said displeasedly: "I've given it to you. Just wear it properly. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that this is my amulet. You don't want it."
Lost it."
"The prince even gave Qingcheng a protective jade pendant, how could Yifei be stingy." As he said this, he put a string of cold beads on Qingcheng's left wrist.
Qingcheng lowered his head and saw a string of luminous pearls, glowing faintly on his wrist.
"You are not within the scope of her choice of items." Xuanyuan Chengtian seemed a little angry.
Xuanyuan Yifei ignored it.
The atmosphere was a little unharmonious. Qingcheng immediately said: "Didn't we say we would go on a trip? If we don't leave, we will have to wait until tomorrow."
"Well, let's go now." Xuanyuan Chengtian responded with a smile.
