When the sun set and the sky was dark, Xue Jinyi and his party returned to the eldest princess's mansion.

She asked Qingzhi to take Yu'er and the others to rest, and deliberately whispered: "Tell someone to be optimistic about Yu'er, if she has anything wrong, she must stop in time and tell me." ”

Qingzhi knew that Miss Xue's order must be something suspicious about Yu'er, so she responded, "Miss Xue, please rest assured. ”

Xue Jinyi returned to the guest house with peace of mind, Pu Yangzhen was waiting in the courtyard early, and saw her come back from a distance, flying like a bird.

"Sister-in-law, I've heard the rumors." She covered her mouth and smiled, "Before noon, the girl of Wen Shilang in Zhongshu Province invited me to dinner, and on the way I heard someone talking about it, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was crazy for a dead prostitute, and he didn't have the appearance of a prince. ”

Xue Jinyi smiled and nodded, "I just don't know what the situation in the palace is." ”

Pu Yangzhen took her hand and went to the side room, "I think you also know that the gate of the East Palace is closed, and it is said that the prince has been working hard for days and caused a sudden old illness and fell ill." As for Uncle Cousin'......" she shook her head, "someone should have reported the news, but who knows what Uncle Cousin thinks?" ”

The emperor's thoughts will naturally not be easily revealed, it depends on what happens to the prince in the future, this is the emperor's attitude.

Xue Jinyi followed Pu Yangzhen into the wing, and the little girl suddenly let go of her hand, flashed to the side, and smiled secretly.

As soon as she looked up, she saw the king of Chu standing at the table.

It is said that at this hour, he should not have returned from Lantian County.

When she was surprised, King Chu took a step to the side, revealing the dining table behind him.

There are five dishes and one soup on the dinner table, as well as a dessert, all of which are ordinary dishes, but they have good color and flavor.

Xue Jinyi stood by the door and didn't move, the bright candle flame illuminated the sumptuous meal for the three of them, the King of Chu was dressed in a snow-blue robe, with a belt tied around his waist at random, and his long black hair was tied up with a cloud-patterned wooden hairpin, a bit like a Taoist who was idle and wild, and had to make her secretly sigh that this good-looking person didn't pick colors at all when he wore clothes, if he put it on her now, how miserable it would be.

And...... She blinked a few times, making sure what she was seeing was real.

In this scene, the king of Chu is like a family cook waiting for his wife to return from work, if he says "hard work", it will be even more like......

Xue Jinyi hadn't finished thinking about it, when she heard the King of Chu say, "You're back?" Great work. ”

“…… Ahem, ahem. Xue Jinyi coughed several times, having the illusion that the King of Chu could see through his thoughts.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Pu Yangzhen asked with concern as he glanced at the King of Chu.

"It's fine." Xue Jinyi shook her head before King Chu spoke, "I was accidentally choked." ”

Pu Yangzhen said: "Sister-in-law, I must not have expected Brother Xuan to come back earlier today and ask the cook to make these delicious dishes and wait for you, right?" ”

When the prince had an accident, the one who benefited the most was the King of Chu, and his happy "gift" of a few dishes can also be regarded as a reward for "meritorious heroes", so that people can continue to work hard, right? Xue Jinyi said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu cares about me so much, I am really flattered." By the way, I also want to thank the King of Chu for sending someone to protect me last night...... Our safety. ”

"It should." King Chu said lightly, "If you don't eat again, the food will be cold." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Pu Yangzhen pulled Xue Jinyi to the table, "Although it wasn't made by Brother Xuan himself, he personally instructed the cook to make his sister-in-law's favorite dish." ”

"Also, there's a medicinal soup." The king of Chu pointed to a cup of soup.

Pu Yangzhen looked at King Chu with a wicked smile.

Brother Xuan and his sister-in-law have been together for a long time, and the way they pamper their wives has made great progress.

After taking her seat, Xue Jinyi asked King Chu, "Do you know who the person who came to protect us last night was?" ”

King Chu sandwiched a grilled chicken leg to Pu Yangzhen, "I don't know." ”

"It's the one you know." Xue Jinyi said, looking at the look of the King of Chu.

The King of Chu put the other chicken leg in her dish with a calm face, "The one with the mask? ”

"Hmm."

"What a coincidence."

Xue Jinyi couldn't see anything from the face of the King of Chu, and pulled out a small sandalwood fan from the brocade bag hanging on her waist, and a faint scent of sandalwood wafted away, and she saw the King of Chu give way to the side.

"This fan smells too strong, let's replace it with a regular paper fan." She said to Qinglan.

Qinglan exchanged for a folding fan painted with orchids, "Miss Xue, can you look at this?" ”

"That's right," Xue Jinyi sniffed, but didn't smell any fragrance, "That's it." ”

Puyang Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, and deliberately asked, "Why did my sister-in-law change her fan?" The original sandalwood fan is beautiful and fragrant. ”

Xue Jinyi said: "I'm tired of smelling it." ”

"It's that simple, huh?"

"Yes."

Puyang Zhen stuck out his tongue at King Chu.

Xue Jinyi enjoyed the delicious dinner unhurriedly, and drank the medicinal soup in one go.

The king of Chu was slowly wiping his mouth.

Puyang Zhen encouraged them to go for a walk in the yard, "Eat so much tonight, take a walk to eat, it's good for your health." Go ahead, I'm going to practice, if you don't want to be filled with magic sounds, just listen to me. ”

Xue Jinyi and King Chu were almost driven out by her, and the two stood under the porch, the moonlight was sprinkled all over their bodies, and in front of them was a peaceful courtyard.

"Let's go." Xue Jinyi walked down the steps, and the cool night breeze blew, which was a good time for a walk.

The king of Chu followed silently, and they came out of the guest courtyard and walked slowly along the path or verandah.

"You said, it was Xue Fangyi who was sick before, and this time it was the prince who suddenly fell ill, and their marriage date will definitely be delayed a little later." Xue Jinyi looked sideways at the man beside her, "I don't know when you and I got married." ”

"Miss Xue is more concerned about the marriage period than I thought." The King of Chu said quietly.

Xue Jinyi smiled strangely: "This is a major life event after all." Although we are together now, we are not married, we have no serious reputation, and we can't become people on the same boat, how can we share honor and disgrace? ”

King Chu smiled like her, "You can also get married and divorce." ”

"yes." Xue Jinyi clapped her hands, "So, is King Chu worried?" ”

"There's nothing to worry about." The king of Chu looked into the distance.

Xue Jinyi waited for a while, and found that he didn't continue, staring at him strangely.

Where does this person get his confidence?

Forget it, the brazenness of King Chu is scared to death, and he is confident that he is born and immortal.

Xue Jinyi sighed and changed the topic, "Is construction starting in Lantian County?" ”

"Hmm."

"I want to go on tomorrow," Xue Jinyi kicked her legs, "Follow the people from the Ministry of Industry to take a look." ”

"Okay." The king of Chu did not ask why.

Xue Jinyi smiled and patted King Chu's shoulder, "This is how cute you look." ”
