What she said was true. No matter what she meant, she would never lie.
Ximenche was still not convinced. He stared down at Yi Yao, their eyes touching, as if they had collided before. Her eyes really understood him and were tolerant of him, just like he did to "Lin Xiner" that day.
She was able to understand the affection shown and give him a gentle look in return.
"Yiyao, I won't let you leave me again!" Ximenche held Yiyao in his arms.
Yi Yao did not expect that this was Ximenche's reaction. She was so surprised that she came close to this chest again, as if she was in the mist, vague and unreal.
"Your Highness... Your Highness?" Yi Yao pushed Ximen Che away with all her strength.
This is so unexpected!
Doesn't Ximenche have Xin'er in his heart? Shouldn't he be angry for being deceived?
"Did you just say that you wanted to hide in the Prince's Mansion for a while?" Ximenche didn't care about Yi Yao's refusal and slowly thought of what Yi Yao said at the beginning.
"Uh...yes..." Yi Yao wasn't sure whether she should make this decision.
"Okay, it doesn't matter how long you stay." Ximenche answered clearly.
This was delivered to her door by herself.
"It won't take long, just wait until the first day of the new year." Yi Yao said.
Lin Xiner and Huangfu Yanchong asked her to go to Northern Xinjiang. Although they gave sufficient reasons, she always felt like they were deliberately trying to distract her.
After all, there are people sent by King Xuan to both the Northern and Southern Yuehua Kingdoms, so she won't be able to play a big role.
Lin Xiner never gave her an explanation for leaving Shuiyue Palace. The martial arts competition was coming soon. She believed that there must be some movement in Shuiyue Palace and it would not really decline as rumored by the outside world.
Keen intuition tells Yi Yao that the first day of the Lunar New Year must be the day when the mystery is revealed, and she has to be away.
After much deliberation, Yi Yao wanted to hide in the Prince's Mansion, a place where no one would care about her.
"New Year's Day?" Ximenche repeated the time.
For him, that day was also very important.
"What happened?" Ximenche was startled.
"It's nothing. Xin'er asked me to go to Northern Xinjiang to do something, but I wanted to see the martial arts competition, so I thought of hiding, lest she find out that I didn't obey the order." Yi Yao said.
"Martial arts conference? The emperor suspects that the martial arts conference is for the imperial court." Ximenche said without hesitation.
"At you?"
Ximen Che's words reminded Yi Yao that she was only concerned about the affairs of Shuiyue Palace, but she did not expect that the martial arts conference would be related to the imperial court. But after hearing what Xi Men Che said, it was very possible.
"Then I can't even leave Beijing." Yi Yao said, a big disaster must have been brewing, and she couldn't stay away from it at this time.
"You will live in the Prince's Mansion, in Nuanyuexuan, and I will arrange for reliable people to take care of you." Ximenche decided.
He didn't care what Lin Xiner wanted Yi Yao to do, he just wanted to let Yi Yao stay. Nuanyue Xuan was the name given to Lin Xiner when she lived there, and Yi Yao was also from Shuiyue Palace, so he would benefit from it as well.
"Your Highness, I won't bother you too much. As long as you have a place to sleep and food to eat, it's fine." Yi Yao said, she is not someone from the Prince's Mansion. Think about the concubines and concubines in the Mansion.
, and also have a headache.
"I won't treat you badly." Ximenche insisted.
Yi Yao has been avoiding Ximen Che's eyes. It's not like she didn't hear that Xi Menche had already changed the identity symbol "this prince" to "I", which shortened the distance between them.
Isn't it just that I won't be treated badly?
Although she had never expected any results, Yi Yao still felt uncomfortable and a little chilled when she heard Ximenche say this.
"People's daughters don't dare to receive too much favor from the prince." Yi Yao said calmly with a cold tone.
"Why don't you dare? If you can bear it, I won't ask you to repay it, as long as you stay with me." Ximenche held Yiyao's hand, and the alienation she showed made him nervous.
Even though he said so, he was still very afraid of Yi Yao leaving. She was a capable woman, and if she insisted on leaving, he wouldn't be able to stop her at all.
I'm afraid she is just a little easier to deal with than Lin Xiner.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yi Yao withdrew her hand and raised her head. She wanted Ximen Che to see clearly, "I am Yi Yao, not Xin'er's substitute. In order to do things, I will take her place, but in our respective
In the face of feelings, I am me and she is her, and no one can replace the other."
"I know, so I no longer have her in my eyes but only you." Ximenche said.
He is such a person. If he hates someone or if he likes someone, it will be clearly shown on his face. Although he doesn't hate Lin Xiner now, he definitely doesn't have that infatuation anymore. On the contrary, he has always wanted to find someone.
The one person he actually hugged.
The two people's eyes met each other, both of them were full of affection, one was unreservedly affectionate, and the other was a rational existence.
"Your Highness, are you awake? I will help you change your clothes."
Someone knocked gently on the door and said.
Yi Yao withdrew her gaze and sat on the chair, leaving it up to Ximen Che to deal with it.
"Get out!" Ximenche shouted angrily in displeasure.
Yi Yao raised her eyebrows, this was really the dandy prince who could let go of dogs.
Obviously, the woman outside the house was one of the women in the Prince's Mansion. If she had never been attracted by him, how could she have entered the Prince's Mansion? After all, this was the Prince's Mansion, not Prince Xuan's Mansion.
But now, she has become a despised person, which makes Yi Yao think of Yang Mo, the crown prince's concubine. Didn't she suffer the embarrassment from Ximen Che in front of her that day?
The woman outside the house was obviously frightened by Ximenche. She paused for a moment and heard footsteps leaving.
Ximen Che turned around and saw Yi Yao looking at him strangely. He knew that women in the world would not compromise as easily as these women in the boudoir.
Sure enough, before he could speak, Yi Yao had already said, "With so many women around His Highness, there is still one civilian girl missing? When he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, there will be countless beauties filling the harem, what do civilian girls mean?"
No matter how much she was interested in Ximenche, she would not tie herself within the palace walls, let alone compete with so many women for favor. Today she is attractive to him, but tomorrow she may be the object of his disgust.
"Well said! The men in the palace are the most ruthless. How can we be as loyal and courageous as the people in the world?"
A joking sound suddenly sounded in the room, surprising both Yi Yao and Ximen Che.
Following the sound, the two of them looked up together. Unexpectedly, there was a person on the beam of the roof. He was leaning on the beam and half leaning on the top corner of the wall. His legs were leisurely resting on the beam to make this cross.
The man had a silvery look on his face, which seemed a bit dazzling at first glance.
"Who?" Ximenche came to his senses and shouted sharply.
