It was a trivial matter. The prince agreed simply and immediately sent someone to Deyang Palace. However, the person returned empty-handed and brought an uninvited guest.
In the side hall, the eldest prince Xiao Yun was smiling slightly, his temperament was elegant and gentle, like a white lotus in summer, he had a certain integrity that emerged from the mud but remained unsullied.
He raised his hands and saluted in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "Imperial brother, please forgive me for disturbing you so hastily."
The prince felt unhappy, but his face was very calm: "I wonder why the emperor's brother suddenly came to visit?"
"It's not a big deal. I just heard that Xiao Lezi's luggage was left in Deyang Palace, so I sent the luggage over and wanted to return it to its original owner."
The prince glanced at him casually: "For such a trivial matter, just let the servants do it. Why bother the emperor to do it himself?"
Xiao Yun smiled slightly and said: "Father often teaches us that things must have a beginning and an end. I was the one who brought Xiao Lezi from the East Palace to Deyang Palace. Now I should send her luggage back, which can be regarded as having a beginning and an end."
"Your Majesty, I'm in a good mood. I have to study hard," the prince said in a neither salty nor cool tone. "I still have things to do and I don't have time to greet you at the moment. Please put your luggage down and please come back."
Xiao Yun looked at Xiao Lezi behind him, and his smile deepened: "Come and see if the number of these luggages is correct. If there is anything missing, I will go back and let people look for it again."
Xiao Lezi glanced at the prince secretly and saw that he was glaring at her. He shrunk his shoulders and said in a low voice: "I thank the eldest prince for his kindness. They are all worthless things. There is no need to count them. You can just leave them there."
good."
"Why are you so reserved? Even if we can't be masters and servants, I still treat you as a friend. It makes me a little sad that you are so cold."
Xiao Lezi was stunned. Ever since she met Xiao Yun, he had always been very kind to her. If she hadn't learned that he was using her, she might have been willing to stay in Deyang Palace to serve him.
Forget it, she wanted to say goodbye to his handsome face for the last time. To be honest, his appearance was very much in line with her taste. He was a handsome young man like jade, gentle and elegant, and he was just like her.
The ideal lover of your dreams.
It's just a pity that such a good-looking face hides such a wolfish ambition.
Xiao Lezi was filled with regret and was about to walk towards Xiao Yun.
The prince's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted sternly: "Stop!"
Xiao Lezi was so frightened that she froze. Seeing that the prince was really angry, she didn't dare to offend him seriously. She could only look at Xiao Yun helplessly: "Sorry, just leave your luggage there. These days
Thank you for taking care of me."
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly: "Well, I don't want you to be in too much trouble, so I'll leave the luggage here for now. You can check it carefully later to see if anything is missing. Remember to ask someone to let me know."
"Well, thank you."
Xiao Yun put his luggage on the tea table next to him, but did not get up and leave. Instead, he looked deeply at Xiao Lezi: "If you don't want to stay here anymore, I hope you can come to me at any time. The gate of Deyang Palace will always be open to you."
You open up."
Before Xiao Lezi could speak, the prince spoke with a half-smile: "You dare to poach people in front of me. Do you really think that the East Palace is your territory?"
Xiao Yun said calmly: "The emperor is joking."
The prince smiled inexplicably, then changed the topic and talked about another matter: "I will settle the matter with you slowly later on about the Green Bridge."
"Green Bridge?" Xiao Yun thought for a moment, "Is she the woman that my father planned to give to Uncle Nine Emperors? What happened to her?"
Seeing him pretending to be stupid, the prince smiled instead of getting angry: "She didn't do anything, she was just sent to the Nine Emperors Uncle in advance. I hope the Nine Emperors Uncle likes this gift."
Xiao Yun's expression moved slightly, but it was covered up in an instant: "I see, I have to congratulate the Nine Emperors Uncle when I see him another day. It's getting late today, so I won't disturb the emperor's rest and take my leave."
The prince did not leave him alone, and gave Eunuch Xia a sideways look: "See you off."
Eunuch Xia immediately lowered his head and walked to Xiao Yun's side: "Eldest Prince, I will take you out."
Xiao Yun smiled politely and said, "Then I'll have Eunuch Lao Xia."
After sending Xiao Yun away, the prince felt a little more comfortable, but when his eyes glanced at the bulging bundle, his expression paused again.
He was a little curious as to what was in Xiao Lezi's luggage. Could it be a love token given to her by Xiao Yun?
Seeing the prince staring directly at the baggage, Xiaolezi didn't know what he was thinking, but to be on the safe side, she decided to get the baggage first.
She walked quickly towards the baggage, and just as she stretched out her hand, she heard the prince say: "Xiao Yun is a very thoughtful person, and everything he does must have a purpose. He made a special trip today. I don't believe he just did it for
Send you luggage."
Xiao Lezi didn't care what he said and quickly put the baggage into his arms: "Your Highness, I will send the baggage back to the room right now. I will be back soon."
The prince said, "No need to go to such trouble, just send your luggage directly to my palace."
"Huh?" Xiao Lezi didn't know why.
The prince raised his lips slightly and patiently explained slowly: "The last time I was drugged, it meant there was a traitor hidden around me. I was worried that something like this would happen again in the future, so I asked someone to move your luggage to
In the bedroom. From now on, you will stay in the bedroom at night to protect my safety."
Xiao Lezi twitched his lips: "Your Highness, are you kidding me?"
It was already very scary to see this moody brat every day, and now she had to spend nights with him as well. Was this a pace that was going to drive her crazy?!
The prince didn't hear her inner roar at all. He stood up gracefully, walked over with a smile, and gently touched the back of her neck: "I never joke with others. The bedding has been prepared for you. I will take you to see it."
Bar."
I really don’t want to go at all!
The prince pretended not to see the reluctance on her face, let go of the back of her neck, and gently held her right wrist. His expression was so natural that Xiao Lezi couldn't find a reason to let go.
She was half-pushed and half-pulled into the prince's palace.
In the huge bedroom, everything is still the same as before, except for the addition of a low rosewood couch next to the large carved bed. There is a silk quilt and blanket placed on the low couch, neatly folded, and the color is bright and clean.
The prince pulled her to the short couch and sat down: "I specially asked people to make this mattress thicker. Do you think it is soft enough?"
To be honest, if you ignore the fact that the prince's bed is next to it, the accommodation conditions here are much better than ordinary staff dormitories!
Xiao Lezi thought about it again and again, and finally couldn't help but said cautiously: "The bed is very comfortable, I like it very much. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
Seeing that she liked it, the prince immediately smiled happily and couldn't help but put his arms around her: "You will sleep here from now on, and tell me anything you need."
The sudden intimate movement made Xiao Lezi's body stiffen, and he shook his shoulders slightly, trying to break free from his arms.
Sensing her struggle, the prince not only did not let go, but instead closed his arms and held her firmly in place: "You are too thin. You need to eat more in the future."
Damn, he can eat tofu so confidently, I’ve never seen him so shameless!
Xiao Lezi gritted his teeth: "I have a small request, Your Highness, please grant it."
"tell me the story."
"Can this bed be placed at the door? This way, I can protect His Highness's safety without hindering His Highness' rest..." Before she could finish her words, she saw the Crown Prince's face changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hei immediately stopped talking and put on a flattering smile, "But whenever I think about it, I feel extremely honored to be able to sleep next to His Highness every night. I really like this place!"
She secretly broke into a cold sweat. It was really difficult to be an excellent bitch. She silently praised her own ingenuity!
The prince hugged her tighter and smiled softly: "As long as you like it."
The warm breath sprayed on her earlobes, warm and tingling. She twisted her body uncomfortably, trying to push him away from her: "Your Highness, this slave has to pack his luggage. It may be a little messy. You
It’s better to avoid it first.”
"Don't worry about me, just pack your luggage and I'll be there to watch."
Can you stop being so slimy? I’m really scared!
Xiao Lezi secretly reached into the bag, grabbed the picture album, and pulled it out bit by bit, planning to hide them under the quilt when the prince wasn't paying attention.
She never expected that her little moves would be caught by the prince. Just when she thought she was about to succeed, a hand suddenly stretched out and held her wrist firmly.
She was so frightened that she almost jumped up and trembled as she spoke: "Dian Dian Dian... Your Highness, are you pressing my slave's hand?"
The prince used force to pull her wrist away. With his free hand, he picked up the picture albums, put them on his lap, and read through them with one hand...
On the picture, clean and smooth lines outline two strong and beautiful male bodies.
Their limbs are intertwined, they are full of affection, exuding a strong atmosphere of ambiguity, making people blush and heartbeat.
The prince was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, glared at Xiao Lezi, his face turned livid, and shouted sternly: "Where did you get these offensive things?!"
Xiao Lezi was so scolded that his heart trembled. He felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in!
I have the heart to want to die!
She knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't dare to talk back. She could only lower her head and reply weakly: "My slave bought these outside the palace before..."
Paralysis, even if I beat her to death, she would never admit that these albums were drawn by her!
"How dare you bring this kind of thing into the palace? Are you tired of living?" The prince seemed very angry. Looking at the unethical pictures in his hand, his internal organs were almost filled with anger!
Xiao Lezi shrank his shoulders: "Your Highness, please calm down. I will burn them all right now, so as not to stain Your Highness's eyes again."
She reached out to get the album, but the prince stopped her with his hand.
The prince wanted to tear the picture album in his hand into pieces, but then he thought about it and turned his eyes around Xiao Lezi. He didn't know what he thought of, and the anger in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
He rolled up the album with an expressionless expression, stuffed it into his wide sleeves, and snorted coldly: "I don't trust you, because I'm afraid you'll hide all the albums behind my back later. It's better for me to dispose of them myself."
appropriate."
Xiao Lezi opened his mouth: "No..." (To be continued)
