"Back to the Second Highness, this is a book sent to Yu Xi by Yu Xi's friend." She thought of a temporary response and prepared to deal with it.
"Book?" Xuanyuan Cooling became even more interested and said with a smile: "Zhong Yuxi, you can also read? Then you really want to show it to His Highness, what kind of book is it?"
"This..." Zhong Yuxi lowered his head, not knowing what to do, when he heard Xuanyuan Ye say from the side: "Second brother, don't make things difficult for Yu Xi, maybe it's a gossip magazine that girls like to read.
.”
Zhong Yuxi quickly answered: "The prince is right, this magazine has one of Yu Xi's favorite stars on the cover, and a friend specially sent it to me."
Xuanyuan Leng lost interest when he heard about the gossip magazine. Zhong Yuxi took the opportunity to take the tea tray: "I will make tea for the Empress Dowager and their highnesses."
The king smiled and waved his hand: "Go, go."
When she came to the tea room, Zhong Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, took out the document, and looked for a place to hide it first. However, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist and someone hugged her from behind.
There was no need to struggle, she could already smell his breath, a light, mint breath.
She suppressed her violent heartbeat and closed her eyes deeply.
His nose was close to her neck, and his warm breath spread on her delicate skin. Then, his lips came down and kissed her tightly.
Zhong Yuxi was stiff all over, as if her body was no longer her own.
The scene that night flashed into my mind like a conditioned reflex, his ruthlessness and her despair.
He turned her body over and kissed her lips, as if there had never been any gap between them. Her heart ached with every kiss.
She didn't struggle, she put her hands behind her back and quietly stuffed the things in her hands under the tea table.
He helped her twice today, and came here again even though he was still talking in the king's study. She didn't understand what he meant. She had already made it clear that she would never like him again.
But, was it used to deceive him or yourself?
He lifted her up with both hands and placed her on the tea table. She lost her balance and leaned back. He took the opportunity to deepen the kiss. In his panic, her hand touched the tea and spilled the tea. He held the teapot with one hand while holding it.
He kissed her and poured a glass of water.
Before she understood what he was going to do, he had already let go of her, brought the tea to his mouth and drank it.
"Xuan..." The half-scream was blocked by him. He actually put all the tea into her mouth. She refused to swallow it and choked and coughed. He looked at her calmly.
With a look of embarrassment, he kissed the increasingly red and swollen mouth again, forcing her to swallow the tea.
"Xuanyuan Ye, you pervert." Zhong Yuxi was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him, but he grabbed her wrist and threatened in a low voice: "Believe it or not, I have someone more perverted?"
She could only glare at him, and at the same time be wary of anyone breaking in suddenly, even though this was a tea room exclusively for the king.
"Xuanyuan Ye, what do you want?" she was angry.
There was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and his big palm slowly stroked her slender calf, all the way to the edge of the skirt, and the skirt kept turning up along with his hand.
Zhong Yuxi pressed down her skirt in panic and struck at his neck with one hand. He stretched out his hand to catch it. She took the opportunity to fly up and kick him in the vital part. He shrank back and said with a smile: "You are really cruel.
"
There was a distance between the two, and Zhong Yuxi stood up and stared at him, "I will not be defeated by you so easily again. In order to surpass you, I have been getting stronger."
He held his chin with his left hand and placed his right hand across his chest. He looked carefully at the stubborn-looking little woman in front of him and suddenly smiled.
"I'm going to Thousand Fish Island, are you interested in going with me?"
He wants to take her there? What about Suo Xin?
Zhong Yuxi ignored the secret joy in her heart, her rationality took over, and she turned her head away from him: "I won't go."
He nodded: "Since you don't want to go, there's nothing I can do about it." He walked past her and suddenly whispered sideways: "I left, which just gave you a chance to be alone with Lao Liu, didn't it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
He didn't speak anymore and passed her by. The wind brought by her blew against his cheek, which actually caused a slight pain.
After standing still for a while, she collected her thoughts and cleaned up the tea room.
After making hot tea, he sent it to the king's study and then left.
They waited until three o'clock in the afternoon before they finished talking. Zhong Yuxi took the documents out from under the tea table and sent them to the king's study.
The king looked up from a pile of reports on state affairs, "Yu Xi, what is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is handed over to you by Your Highness the Sixth Prince."
He took it with a smile: "This kid." He stuffed it under a pile of documents.
Zhong Yuxi's task was completed and she stepped aside carefully. She didn't know what was written there and why the king didn't read it immediately.
But at the regular meeting the next day, she was present, standing behind the king. Except for His Highness Seventh Prince, who was going to school, several other princes were there.
She heard the king announce a shocking decision. This time, he sent the Crown Prince and His Highness the Sixth Prince to deal with the Qianyu Island incident, while His Highness the Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Shangyu was to return to the army and be ready to mobilize troops at any time.
If they were gone...
Zhong Yuxi looked at Xiao Jue as if nothing had happened. He was looking at her with a sarcastic and dangerous look, with a hint of a sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth.
She thought again of the old Mrs. Huang who made other people uncomfortable. She seemed to dislike her very much and was looking for trouble for her as soon as she came back.
Although it is safe to stay by the king's side, the king is in the light and they are in the dark.
She had to find a way to protect herself.
"Your Majesty." Xiaofeng said suddenly, "I want to borrow someone from you."
All eyes turned to him at once.
The king smiled and said, "Who do you want to take with you?"
He looked at Zhong Yuxi, who had her head lowered, and said, "Your maid."
Not only the king, but also several other highnesses were shocked as to why Xiaofeng suddenly wanted to borrow someone close to the king, and she was also the king's favorite maid.
He slowly explained: "My maid Suo Xin has been in poor health recently. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to adapt to this long journey, and she doesn't know martial arts. I think there must be someone around to take care of her, so here is this
I’m sorry.”
The king thought for a while, then turned to ask Zhong Yuxi for his opinion: "Yu Xi, what do you mean?"
Zhong Yuxi still lowered her head. She was weighing the pros and cons of this. At the same time, she could also feel the cannibalistic gaze from the prince. She couldn't control it.
If you stay with His Highness Sixth Prince, even though that person is as dangerous as a wild beast, it is still better than staying here, with the unclear Xiao Jue on one side and the unpredictable Mrs. Huang on the other. In comparison, she is more
Would rather choose the former.
So, she raised her head, her eyes flashed, and her face had a smile as gentle as the spring breeze: "If His Majesty agrees, of course Yu Xi is willing to serve His Highness Sixth Prince."
"Zhong Yuxi..." Xuanyuan Ye bit her name and clenched his fists under the table. Yesterday, he rejected him so resolutely, but today he agreed to Xiaofeng so happily. There was a kind of anger in his heart.
He was burning with jealousy and wanted to overturn the table.
