Chapter 213 I only want His Highness

Seeing Yu Qinghuan's reaction, Xiao Jinghe glanced at Xie Zhili as he walked away, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes, "It seems that you are very disappointed to let him go."

Yu Qinghuan blushed and shook her head repeatedly, "No!"

I swear to God, I was just nervous.

She was tough on the outside but honest on the inside, and she couldn't hide it from Xiao Jinghe at all.

Xiao Jinghe let out a cold laugh, pinched her chin with his fingers and lifted it up, "If you are disappointed, I will call people back to continue with you?"

Yu Qinghuan was frightened and reached out to hug Xiao Jinghe's waist flatteringly, "Your Highness, don't joke. I only want Your Highness."

Although Xie Zhili walked far away, he could still hear the conversation between the two because of his excellent hearing. His hand under his sleeve was pinched so hard that it hurt.

He secretly comforted himself in his heart that Yu Qinghuan was now in the palace and was controlled by Xiao Jinghe, so naturally she had to please Xiao Jinghe. These words were not true.

Since he couldn't take the person away openly, he could only take the opportunity to steal him.

Xiao Jinghe had no idea about Xie Zhili's plan to "steal someone". He was very satisfied with Yu Qinghuan's words and took her back into his arms. Seeing that Xie Zhili had finally left, he stopped bothering Yu Qinghuan.

Yu Qinghuan subconsciously twisted his body, trying to adjust to a comfortable position.

Xiao Jinghe raised his hand and pressed her down, his eyes darkening. "Don't move. Just stay here with me. It will be fine soon."

Yu Qinghuan stopped moving immediately, and leaned the back of her head slightly against his shoulder.

The candlelight in the hall was bright, but she felt a little sleepy and yawned quietly.

Xiao Jinghe placed one hand on her waist and flipped through the memorials with the other. He said in a deep voice, "There will be a flower viewing banquet in the palace in two days. I will have someone make you some new clothes. I will have someone send the fabrics over for you to choose from. If you like any of them, you can keep them."

Yu Qinghuan was stunned. Was Xiao Jinghe crazy? Holding a flower-viewing banquet at this critical moment?

"Your Highness, isn't it inappropriate to hold a flower viewing banquet at this time?"

Xiao Jinghe held her waist and couldn't help but pinch it for fun. A smile appeared on his pretty eyebrows. "The flowers in the palace are blooming beautifully, what's inappropriate?"

Flowers go well with beauties, and he also planned to ask the palace painters to paint a few more pictures and hang them in the palace so that he could look at them day and night.

Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and gently reminded, "Your Highness, the flowers in the palace are in full bloom, but His Majesty is seriously ill now..."

He might die tomorrow, and yet he is not careful with his words and actions at this moment. He just made the old emperor so angry that he vomited blood, and now he wants to hold a grand flower-viewing banquet. Isn't he afraid of the censors and the people's spit?

Xiao Jinghe felt warm in his heart, knowing that she was worried about him.

"It's okay, it's just a flower viewing banquet. There are many such banquets in the palace in the past."

Yu Qinghuan was silent: "......"

You said it was normal, but now your own father is dying and you still want to appreciate flowers.

After all, he is the prince, and everyone in the world is watching him, so he should at least put in some superficial effort.

However, she did not say these words out loud, thinking that perhaps Xiao Jinghe had his own plans, perhaps just wanting to quickly anger the old emperor to death and ascend the throne as soon as possible.

Neither of them spoke anymore. One was reviewing the memorials, while the other glanced at them from time to time.

It was almost midnight when Xiao Jinghe finally finished reviewing the pile of memorials on his desk. Just as he was about to stand up to stretch his stiff body, he felt his shoulders sink. He called out, "Huanhuan?"

The voice is low and soft.

There was no response from the person in my arms. I could only hear their even breathing, mixed with a hint of warmth brushing against my neck.

Xiao Jinghe smiled unconsciously. He didn't know when he fell asleep. It seemed that he was really tired.

He carefully raised his hand, supported her head with his palm, slowly tilted his body, and immediately placed his other hand on her waist, supporting her slender body.

As he pulled away, he put his arms around Yu Qinghuan's back and knees, exerting force with his arms steadily but moving gently, and held her horizontally in his arms.

Yu Qinghuan moaned unconsciously as he adjusted his position, and her body shrank softly into his arms.

Xiao Jinghe immediately held his breath and stopped moving, looking at her sleeping face which looked particularly peaceful in the candlelight, his eyes hardened like a pool of spring water.

He waited until Yu Qinghuan's breathing became steady again before he gently picked her up, walked away from the desk step by step, walked through the hall where candlelight flickered, and went outside.

The palace maids dared not make a sound, as they were horrified to see that the Crown Prince had actually carried someone away. Such a thing had never happened in the palace before. Normally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not even allow the palace maids to serve him closely, and he had never been close to any noble lady.

Could this really be the future Crown Princess? !

But wasn't she just divorced by Ningyuan Hou?!

Sang Ru, who was snoring at the door of the palace, was dumbfounded. This girl was really outrageous. She wanted the prince to carry her back even when she was asleep. Who knows what kind of rumors would spread in the palace tomorrow.

Xiao Jinghe held Yu Qinghuan in his arms as he walked through the quiet corridors and headed towards the bedroom where Yu Qinghuan was temporarily staying.

The accompanying palace maids looked at each other in surprise. This Yu was truly extraordinary. She had already been favored by the Crown Prince before even entering the palace.

It was not until they reached the bedroom that the palace servant guarding the door was about to salute when he was stopped by Xiao Jinghe's eyes.

He carried the person straight into the hall and slowly placed Yu Qinghuan on the couch.

As soon as she touched the soft mattress, Yu Qinghuan curled up into a ball, frowned, and her eyelashes trembled restlessly.

Just as Sang Ru was about to go forward to take care of her, she saw Xiao Jinghe had already bent down and squatted, personally taking off her girl's embroidered shoes and silk stockings, and tucked in the brocade quilt for her!

The girl never did such a thing when she was with the eldest master. Even the second master and the young master were not so considerate.

I never thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so considerate and caring.

She originally thought that among all the men, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the least compassionate, but now it seems that she was wrong.

Looking at Yu Qinghuan sleeping, Xiao Jinghe's heart also calmed down.

His fingertips brushed the loose hair on Yu Qinghuan's cheek, his movements restrained and gentle, and he just kept looking at her.

It wasn't until Sang Ru caught a glimpse of her daughter's fingertips moving under the quilt that her forehead jumped. She immediately stepped forward and whispered a reminder, "Your Highness, it's late."

Xiao Jinghe kissed Yu Qinghuan on the forehead reluctantly, then quietly left the bedroom with his men.

As soon as he left, Yu Qinghuan suddenly opened her eyes, looking relieved.

God knows how hard it was for her to pretend. She dared not move at all. She didn't know why Xiao Jinghe kept staring at her. Wasn't she tired?

Sang Ru looked at her helplessly, "Since the girl had already woken up, why did she let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carry her back?"

"Many palace officials saw it along the way. I don't know how to report it tomorrow."

She was indeed a little worried.

Yu Qinghuan sat up from the couch and pressed his brows, which felt a little sore. "It would be great if I didn't have to walk by myself."

Moreover, she had just woken up on the road, and seeing that Xiao Jinghe liked to hug her so much, she simply let him hold her all the time.

What’s important is…

Yu Qinghuan curled her red lips slightly. Doesn’t Cheng Gongjin have spies in the palace?

It would also let the old man know that she, Yu Qinghuan, has no shortage of men, and if she wants to tease him, she won't be able to get away so easily.
