Liu Jin went to participate in Xuexian's activities, so he came back late. He changed into Xuexian's uniform and wore a formal dress for the banquet. He greeted the king, the queen mother and several brothers in turn. He sat next to Xiaofeng.
After sitting down, not long after he sat down, his eyes looked towards Zhong Yuxi.
Zhong Yuxi took advantage of others not paying attention and stuck out her tongue at her. He glared at her, but his eyes were full of smiles. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight after not seeing each other for so long, but she was still so beautiful. In his heart
My longing has been relieved, and the food tastes particularly sweet.
After the meal, the maids served tea and everyone chatted while eating.
Liu Jin curiously asked Xiaofeng beside him: "Sixth Brother, I heard that you defeated the Chaoyang Kingdom's army. It's really exciting. It's a pity that Your Majesty won't let me go. Otherwise, I can also contribute a lot."
Xiaofeng smiled faintly and said nothing, but Xuanyuan Shangyu said at the side: "Old Qi, the knowledge in your books is worthless on the battlefield. This time, you can stand out from the encirclement thanks to the temporary work of the sixth brother.
The laser guidance device allowed us to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."
Liu Jin immediately opened his eyes in admiration, "Brother Six, you are really amazing."
"The fighter jet designed by Lao Liu is still the fastest in the military. However, he said that the performance is not yet certain and cannot be mass-produced. What does this small laser guidance device mean?" His Highness Xuanyuan Che hurriedly agreed.
.
For a moment, the focus of everyone's discussion turned to Xiaofeng, which made Mrs. Huang extremely dissatisfied. She coughed and asked Xuanyuan Leng next to her: "Second brother, I heard that Jin Yaotai from Chaoyang Kingdom still doesn't give up.
I’m afraid it will come back.”
As soon as she spoke, everyone immediately fell silent. Xuanyuan Ye smiled and comforted: "Grandma Huang, don't worry, the Chaoyang Kingdom will not use force on a large scale against us at the moment. What's more, with our current military reserves, the Chaoyang Kingdom is not at all
opponent."
People from the four major families also nodded in agreement, among them Xia Mingyuan was the most attentive.
"That's good." Mrs. Huang put down her anxious heart and nodded slightly.
Everyone talked and returned to their palaces very late. Zhong Yuxi and several attendants accompanied the king back to his Cuihua Palace. On the way, the king asked her: "Yu Xi, I heard that you took the initiative to become a member of the Chaoyang Kingdom."
Hostage, is there such a thing?"
Zhong Yuxi nodded timidly.
He looked at her and shook his head with some affection: "Don't do such dangerous things again in the future. You are a girl and you don't have to stand out in everything."
"Yu Xi has remembered your Majesty's words." She nodded obediently.
The king smiled helplessly: "You always promise well, but as soon as you do it, you forget everything."
Zhong Yuxi said sheepishly, "I really remembered it this time."
"Well, if you do it again next time, you will be severely punished." The king deliberately looked stern.
Zhong Yuxi massaged his arm in a flattering manner, "I understand, Your Majesty."
After sending the king back to Cuihua Hall, Zhong Yuxi didn't leave until he rested. The king's diet had been quite regular these days, so she felt a lot more at ease.
I went downstairs and turned to my room, but someone suddenly grabbed my arm halfway and dragged me out without any explanation.
The two of them ran for a long time, and finally stopped in the bamboo forest outside the yard. Liu Jin panted heavily, bent over, put his hands on his legs, and looked up at Zhong Yuxi opposite, who was also panting.
He smiled, and his face looked particularly handsome in the moonlight, as if it was coated with silver light.
"Stupid woman, she's out of breath after just running for such a short distance."
"You are still talking about me, aren't you the same?"
He quickly straightened up and said confidently: "No way."
Zhong Yuxi rolled her eyes helplessly, "Why did you drag me here in the middle of the night? Hey, you are the prince. Have you mistaken your identity?"
He made a sound and immediately asked with concern: "When will your voice get better? It's so hard to speak."
Zhong Yuxi touched her throat and said, "It's almost better."
He walked over and stood very close to her, looking down at her upturned face. The evening breeze made the bamboos in the bamboo forest rustle, and a large full moon hung among the treetops.
The two shadows on the ground were stretched very long.
"I heard that you have suffered a lot, right?" He raised his hand, put it on the side of her face with some hesitation, and tucked the strand of hair behind her ear, "Zhong Yuxi, you are always like this
If you try to be brave, you have no brains."
She was used to being scolded by him, so she just smiled stupidly.
But the smile immediately faded on her face. Liu Jin suddenly lowered his head and landed a light kiss on her cheek unexpectedly. The hot temperature on his lips was like a cup of hot water, flowing from the smooth skin into his heart, slowly
spread.
"Liu Jin..." She raised her head in panic, and Liu Jin also hurriedly took a big step back, looking at her with a red face, a little at a loss.
Unable to help himself, he kissed her. How could he do this? He was too impulsive.
Just when he was embarrassed and blaming himself, Zhong Yuxi's voice came softly: "Liu Jin, the hat you gave me saved my life, so this kiss can be regarded as a thank you gift."
The red color on his face slowly faded away, he tilted his head and raised his eyebrows: "That was His Highness's clever plan."
She also smiled and suddenly asked: "Liu Jin, are we good friends?"
good friend?
Liu Jin narrowed his eyes. Is the relationship between them just friends?
While he was silent, Zhong Yuxi walked over and held one of his hands, "Then we are good brothers and we must always care about each other."
He stared at her intently. The smile on her face was like the incense blooming at night. It captured your sight and attracted your taste. His throat tightened and his heart ached.
Good friend? Good brother?
It turned out that she had always thought so. Maybe he hadn't done enough to let her see his true feelings.
He liked her so much, and he had liked her for four years. Every day and night when he was awake was full of longing, and every scene when he closed his eyes was a memory. He thought that she should understand his feelings, and he thought that she would be in the future.
As his imperial concubine, he thought that they could have love.
But before anything was done, she nipped all his hopes in the cradle.
Slowly taking his hand out of Zhong Yuxi's, he gave her a forced smile: "Well, good brother, good friend."
When he said those words, his accent was so strong that Zhong Yuxi's heart twitched. She didn't want to hurt Liu Jin, so when he wanted to have any other thoughts, she had to warn him in this way.
, Xuanyuan Ye and Xiaofeng are both not good people, and being involved in the struggle for their relationship will only leave him scarred. He is too simple and clean, just like a piece of undyed paper, pale and fragile.
"It's too late, I have to go back." Zhong Yuxi smiled at him, turned around and stepped into the path among the bamboo forests.
Looking at her thin back, Liu Jin stood in the wind dreamily, wondering what he should do and how he could impress her.
I was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep, so I simply went to the Sixth Prince's Nourishing Heart Hall.
"Your Majesty the Seventh Highness." Looking at Liu Jin who was in a hurry, Suoxin, the maid of His Highness the Sixth Highness, hurriedly came out to greet him.
"Where's Brother Six?"
"Go back to His Majesty Seventh, His Majesty is not in Yangxin Hall."
"Where have you gone?"
"The Sixth Prince will not tell me where he is going, but I think the direction he is going to should be His Majesty's Cuihua Palace."
"Sixth Brother is still looking for His Majesty at such a late hour." Liu Jin muttered in a low voice, "I'll go find him."
Suo Xin quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, walk slowly."
After Zhong Yuxi said goodbye to Liu Jin, she did not go back immediately. She sat on a chair in the bamboo forest for a long time, thinking about what happened these days.
Xiao Jue left the palace long ago and returned to the world outside. She was relieved that he was no longer here.
Just as I was about to get up and go back, voices suddenly came from the woods behind me.
She listened carefully and immediately recognized that one of the people was Xuanyuan Ye. How could he be here so late?
And the other person, she also knew, was Xia Man.
Xia Man was very fond of Mrs. Huang. Every time she came to the palace, she would have a special place to live, or she would simply sleep in Mrs. Huang's Yuqiong Palace.
"Xuanyuan Ye, let go." Xia Man's voice was sharp, as if he was suffering from some pain.
His voice was as sharp as a knife, and he said in a low voice: "Why, you want to come to me again to find out the truth, and then tell Lao Wu?"
Lao Wu?
Night end?
Zhong Yuxi hurriedly lay down on the bench to prevent her body from being exposed. She secretly complained in her heart, why should she hear the secret every time? In this palace, the more you know, the faster you will die.
.
"So you know everything..." Xia Man was obviously strangled by his neck, and his tone changed.
"Don't forget, Feng Mo is one of my people. Whatever they want to check, they can't find it before. You use Zhong Yuxi to check the spy I arranged outside. It's a pity that she won't betray me at all.
."
"She is a stupid woman, that's why she likes a devil like you." Xia Man sneered: "Yes, I noticed someone around you, so I asked the Fifth Prince to go and investigate."
"When did you and him start? Huh?" The force on his hand increased, and Xia Man's face turned purple in pain: "As the quasi-Crown Princess, you actually seduced your brother-in-law, Xia Man, you can bear the crime.
?”
Xia Man's face changed and she lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhong Yuxi also knew this secret. She followed Xiao Jue and accidentally discovered that Xiao Jue was having an affair with Xia Man, so she used this secret in exchange for Xiao Jue.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Ye also knew about it.
Like Xiaofeng, he is definitely not easy to cheat.
"What do you want?" Xia Man asked with almost breathless force.
"Humph..." He sneered, threw her to the ground with a wave of his hand, and under the moonlight, his handsome face was as evil as an evil god. He slowly pinched Xia Man's chin with two long fingers: "Old Five
The X-Flying Eagle in my hand is a super powerful combat team, I want this team."
"You can find a way, right?" He exerted force on his hands, and Xia Man shed tears from the pain.
"Who do you want that army to deal with?" Xia Man endured the pain and asked.
"The night is still young."
Is he going to deal with Night Emperor?
Zhong Yuxi covered her mouth and took a deep breath.
It seems that he really cares. With the relationship between Ye Emperor and Xiaofeng, he can't ignore it. Ye Zhi Weiyang is so powerful that even Xuanyuan Shangyu is sometimes helpless against them. Therefore, he can't use the help of a big fight.
Since the military can only rely on external forces, the Fifth Prince's best choice is to eliminate his own army and fly the eagle.
He had always known Xia Man's secret, but he revealed it at this moment, just to use it as a blackmail to get X Feiying to work for him.
It is almost impossible for Xia Man not to agree to his conditions, because as a quasi-Crown Princess, she actually had an affair with another prince. Once this matter spreads, her status as Crown Princess and the status and reputation of the Xia family will be ruined.
Once upon a time.
Xuanyuan Ye really calculated every step and moved it cleverly.
There was a gust of wind, and the collision between leaves made a slight sound, like a whisper between lovers.
After a long time, Xia Man's voice came slowly: "Okay, I promise you."
Her eyes were full of resentment. As early as eight years ago, she and Xuanyuan Ye were classmates at the Royal Academy, and she was extremely in love with him, who was handsome and charming.
But there were countless women around him, and they came and went like a revolving door. Those women were willing to do anything to get into his bed, and she scorned them at the time.
But what she didn't expect was that Xuanyuan Ye would take the initiative to pursue her. She was so happy that she agreed almost without hesitation. At that time, they were in a couple and envied others. She thought he was sincere.
Unexpectedly, at a college party, she accidentally overheard other people talking loudly. It turned out that Xuanyuan Ye was chasing her just because she made a bet with others when she was bored. It was a very tacky reason. She cried and ran to question him.
He just smiled at her, kissed her in public, and walked away.
She became the biggest laughing stock in the eyes of others, and jealousy began to sprout from that time.
In order to make him regret, she continued to enrich herself, making herself smarter and more beautiful. With the Xia family's increasing power, she finally became the candidate for the quasi-Crown Princess. She no longer loved him, just to take revenge.
Unexpectedly, he still didn't show up on the day of the engagement, causing her to lose face again.
She hated, hated him, and hated the woman beside him, Zhong Yuxi, she gritted her teeth.
Zhong Yuxi shivered inexplicably. She felt like someone was cursing her. She shrank even smaller to avoid being discovered.
Soon, the sounds in the woods disappeared and they had left.
She carefully hid for a long time, and then she dared to sit down again after making sure that no one was there.
The night wind was a bit cold, and she looked at the night in trance.
If Xuanyuan Ye wants to deal with Ye Di, she must warn Ye Di to be careful, not only because he saved her once in the snow, but also because there seems to be some kind of connection between her and him, and this connection makes her
I can't help but want to know more about him and care about him.
She took out the silver card with his address on it from her pocket, and decided to go find him during her vacation this week.
Moreover, she hadn't seen Dad Zhong for a long time. Every time she called, he said he was fine, but she was still worried and wanted to go back and take a look.
Just as he was about to go back, suddenly a pair of steady and strong hands were placed on his shoulders.
She didn't dare to take a breath until his faint voice came: "Why don't you wear more clothes, so you're not afraid of catching a cold?"
She raised her head and saw that his eyebrows under the moonlight were as perfect as a picture scroll. His lazy expression and deep gaze only showed her the tenderness of a person.
"madman."
He had lowered his head to kiss her.
Not far away, Liu Jin was walking quickly towards this side. The back of the man he saw just now looked very much like Sixth Brother, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
