After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Tao exchanged a glance.

"Miss, they..."

Ye Qingcheng frowned: "What's wrong with this damned prince? Is this never going to end?"

"Miss, shall we let them in?"

"You go inside and hide first."

"Yes, Miss."

After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she went into her room.

Ye Qingcheng went to squat in the vegetable garden and deliberately dug in the soil.

This way.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin waited outside the door for a long time, but did not hear a response from Ye Qingcheng.

The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and together pushed open the door to the cold courtyard before going inside.

At this moment, their hearts were pounding, and they were very nervous.

Although the two had spent a few hours with Ye Qingcheng before, the scene of Ye Qingcheng wielding a stick and swinging it at them when they entered the cold courtyard yesterday was still vivid in their minds.

The two cautiously peeked into the cold courtyard.

However, once they entered the courtyard, the two were stunned by the sight of the entire place.

The entire courtyard was filled with green plants, vegetable gardens, peach trees, vines climbing the walls, and fruit trees.

this…

Is this still the Cold Courtyard?

The two of them stared in astonishment at the scene in the cold courtyard, forgetting the purpose of their visit.

But just then...

Ye Qingcheng's voice reached their ears from the vegetable garden.

The two looked over.

Ye Qingcheng was squatting in the vegetable garden, digging in the soil.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

The two called out and then quickly walked over to help Ye Qingcheng up.

"princess."

Ye Qingcheng was pulled back and struggled.

"I want to catch ants, I want to catch ants."

"Your Highness, the ground is dirty."

"It's not dirty, it's not dirty. I wash it every day. You can see the floor is wet."

After hearing this, the two looked at the vegetable garden.

The ground was indeed wet, and there were still some water droplets clinging to the vegetable leaves.

It looks like it's just been watered.

Seeing this scene.

Both of them frowned slightly.

"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, look, they've all been washed and aren't dirty anymore."

"Ah? No... Your Highness, this is mud and it's dirty."

"Yes! Your Highness, shall we stop playing here? Look, I've brought you lots of delicious food."

Xiao Xin said, lifting the food box in her hand with a smile.

"Huh? It's delicious, really? Where is it?"

"It's right here. Let's go sit over there and I'll serve you some food, okay?"

"Great! Great! There's delicious food! I want to eat! I want to eat!"

Ye Qingcheng clapped her hands, laughed, and ran to sit down on the stone bench.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin followed closely behind.

Xiao Xin opened the food box and took out plates of pastries.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng reached out to grab a piece of osmanthus cake.

However, Xiao Cui stopped her: "Your Highness, your hands are dirty from digging in the dirt. I'll fetch some water and wash your hands."

"Great! Great!"

Xiao Cui then walked to the well and saw that the bamboo tubes inserted into the well and those protruding outside were connected together, which puzzled her greatly.

However, this wasn't her main purpose for fetching water. Without thinking too much, she picked up the bucket next to her, filled it with water, poured it into a basin, and carried it to Ye Qingcheng.

"Your Highness, please put your hands in the water, and I will help you bathe."

"Great! Great! Let's play in the water, let's play in the water."

Ye Qingcheng chuckled foolishly and put her hand into the basin.

Xiao Cui also took the opportunity to wash her hands clean.

Then, Xiao Xin took a bath towel and used it to dry Ye Qingcheng.

"Your Highness, you may eat now," Xiao Cui said with a smile.

Ye Qingcheng nodded.

She hadn't expected that the two girls would be so devoted.

Ye Qingcheng reached out, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake with her two slender, white fingers, and took a bite.

"Mmm! Delicious, delicious, Xiao Cui, you should eat too."

"No...no...Your Highness, I dare not, this is for you to eat."

"Xiao Cui is delicious."

"Yes, Your Highness, I know it's delicious, so please eat more."

"Uh-huh!"

Ye Qingcheng deliberately wolfed down her food, her cheeks bulging.

Seeing this, Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Your Highness, please eat slowly. I'll pour you a cup of tea so you can have some tea to help you eat."

As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ye Qingcheng.

Ye Qingcheng also accepted the tea and drank it down in one gulp.

The two watched Ye Qingcheng eat pastries for a while.

Xiao Cui glanced around the courtyard and asked curiously, "Your Highness, are you the only one in this secluded courtyard?"

After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng hesitated for a moment, raised her eyebrows to look at her, and then shook her head.

kindness?

Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin were slightly taken aback when they saw Ye Qingcheng shake her head.

Then.

Xiao Cui asked in confusion, "Your Highness, is there anyone else in this cold courtyard?"

Ye Qingcheng nodded heavily.

"Your Highness, is there anyone else?"

“There’s…there’s…there’s a ghost…” Ye Qingcheng said, deliberately widening her eyes and feigning a terrified expression.

"Huh? Wh...what..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui and Xiao Xin immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

The two men scanned the courtyard with their eyes.

"Your...Your Highness...Are you...Are you telling the truth?"

"Ugh...ugh! Terrifying...terrifying..."

"This...this..."

"Sister Xiao Cui, is what the Princess said true?" Xiao Xin asked in a panic.

Xiao Cui herself was also pale, and shook her head: "I...I don't know either."
