Chapter 296 Crown Princess, can you give me another chance?
Talking to two seven month old kids...
Xie Yao couldn't help but smile just thinking about that scene, and her heavy mood due to Zhao Ying's disappearance and Madam Zhao's accident was relieved a lot.
Xiao Ji's eyes fell on Xie Yao and never moved away, "Then I'll trouble you, Crown Princess."
Xiao Ji's eyes were deep and very aggressive.
When Xie Yao raised her eyes and met such a look, her heart tightened and she felt inexplicably nervous. She subconsciously looked away and her ears felt slightly hot.
Her tone was a little unnatural, "You are welcome, Your Highness."
Xiao Ji's eyes never moved away, and he kept staring at Xie Yao. Xie Yao paused, then raised her eyes and looked back, not avoiding his gaze anymore.
Xiao Ji was stunned by the look.
Xie Yao's eyes are big and bright, and her look is firm and clear.
She was already pretty, but when he met her eyes at this moment, Xiao Ji felt a sense of amazement.
The carriage fell into silence, and the atmosphere in this silence was somewhat ambiguous...
"Your Highness, Crown Princess, we're here."
At this moment, the guards' words were heard outside. Xie Yao and Xiao Ji pretended not to hear them and continued to look at each other.
There is an undercurrent surging in it.
In the end, it was Xiao Ji who first looked away, "Crown Princess, please."
Xie Yao raised the corners of her lips, "Your Highness first."
Xiao Ji: "..." He got off the carriage first, then stood on the side of the road and stretched out his hand in the direction of the carriage.
The movements are extremely skillful and natural.
Before Xiao Ji could even react to his action, a soft hand was placed in his palm.
A secret joy welled up in Xiao Ji's heart, and he subconsciously held Xie Yao's hand tightly, as if he was worried that she would change her mind and suddenly take her hand back.
Xiao Ji helped Xie Yao get off the carriage.
The couple walked towards the Prince's Mansion together, but neither of them tacitly let go of each other's hands.
This time I'm really looking after the children.
The two children were already able to sit and play. When they saw Xie Yao and Xiao Ji come in, the little ones' eyes lit up and they immediately dropped the small toys in their hands.
He grinned at Xie Yao and Xiao Ji, revealing his few newly grown white teeth, and said in a voice as indistinct as a rabbit, "Jie, Jiejie~"
"Cool~"
The two little guys kept talking to each other, melting Xie Yao and Xiao Ji's hearts.
Xiao Ji finally let go of Xie Yao's hand, walked forward and accurately picked up Sui Sui from among the twins.
There was a softness in his eyes that he himself didn't even know was there.
He moved carefully and his eyes were gentle, but his actions were very skillful and Sui Sui felt extremely safe in his arms.
"Jiejie~" Seeing this, Zhaozhao also called out "Daddy" and looked at Xiao Ji eagerly.
Xie Yao immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mother, hold me."
"I'll do it." Xiao Ji said, and picked up Zhao Zhao with his other hand, holding a child in each hand.
Zhao Zhao always stayed obediently in Xiao Ji's arms. The little guy would reach out to pull Xiao Ji's clothes and hair.
No one gives in to anyone else.
Xie Yao sat aside and watched this scene with a smile on her face. She felt that the years were peaceful and if time could stop at this moment... it would not be bad.
The time of happiness is always short.
Soon it was time for Zhaozhao and Suisui to rest, and Xiao Ji also had to return to the palace.
Xie Yao saw him off personally.
As they were walking, Xie Yao suddenly felt her hand being held, and she looked sideways in surprise.
Xiao Ji was also looking at her, his deep eyes full of seriousness and sincerity, "Although I don't remember anything about the past. But... Crown Princess, can you give me another chance?"
Xie Yao's heart seemed to be hit by something. She froze on the spot and forgot to speak for a moment.
Her silence made Xiao Ji feel a little withdrawn and sad, "If you don't want to..."
Xiao Ji's words stopped abruptly before he could finish!
Because Xie Yao threw herself into his arms, she hugged his thin waist with both hands and pressed her body against Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji was stunned for a moment, suppressed his body that was trembling due to the pain, reached out to hug Xie Yao, and whispered: "I'm sorry."
It was because he forgot everything in the past, forgot her, that made her so sad...
"No." Xie Yao's voice was a little choked up, "Don't blame Your Highness. Your Highness is fine, which is the best thing for me."
After Xie Yao finished speaking, she realized that something was not right with Xiao Ji and immediately stepped out of his arms.
She looked up at Xiao Ji and gave him a bright smile, "Your Highness, I'm not in a hurry. I have a lot of patience."
"There is a long way to go, let's take it slow."
As long as everything is moving in the right direction, what does it matter if we have to wait a little longer?
The night was dark and the lights in the Prince's Mansion were bright.
The warm candlelight reflected in Xie Yao's eyes, and Xiao Ji felt as if he saw the brightest galaxy in the world.
He was also intoxicated by it.
"Okay." He raised the corners of his lips and responded solemnly.
"Let's go." Xie Yao took the initiative to say: "If you don't leave now... the palace gate will be locked."
The two walked side by side to the carriage.
Xie Yao stood at the gate of the mansion, "Then...see you tomorrow, Your Highness."
Xiao Ji's throat rolled, and he felt as if a small hand was scratching his heart, making it itchy.
"See you tomorrow."
Xiao Ji turned around reluctantly and got on the carriage, calming his racing heartbeat.
He was thinking seriously about a question: what he would wear tomorrow.
I made an appointment with Xie Yao to meet tomorrow, why does he... seem to be looking forward to it from now on?
He lifted the curtain and looked towards the entrance of the Prince's Mansion.
Seeing Xie Yao still standing by the door, Xiao Ji suppressed the thought of jumping off the carriage and saying he would not return to the palace. He waved to Xie Yao, signaling her to go back.
Then he immediately lowered the curtain.
He didn't dare look again.
He was afraid to watch any longer... He really didn't want to leave.
After a while, Xiao Ji suppressed the pain in his heart, and then he said to Si Nan outside the carriage: "Si Nan."
Si Nan poked his head in, "Your Highness, I'm here."
Xiao Ji paused and said, "I used to have a very good relationship with the Crown Princess."
"Yes, yes." It's not that Si Nan didn't want to say it, but firstly, there were some details he didn't know, and secondly, the court physician and the Crown Princess had repeatedly warned him not to say too much and irritate His Highness.
Lest your highness’ body collapse.
At this moment, Si Nan saw that his Highness's expression was normal, and he quickly said, "Your Highness used to treat the Crown Princess like he held her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of her melting. He was extremely distressed and concerned about her."
Xiao Ji: “…”
Is this really something he can do?
Si Nan continued, "If you don't believe me, you can go and ask. The Crown Princess made clothes for you personally, and you showed off to the Marquis of Zhenbei several times."
"I think even Lightning knows that the Crown Princess made two sets of clothes for you."
Lightning is the Saker Falcon of the eldest son of the Wei family.
Xiao Ji's face darkened slightly, and he glared at Si Nan, "You're talking too much."
He shouldn't be... that unreliable, right?
Si Nan immediately shut up, "You let others say it, and you don't like to hear it... If you let me say it again next time, I won't say it."
Xiao Ji's face darkened, and he glanced at Si Nan coldly, "Do you want to rebel?"
but……
The fact that he could be attracted to a woman like Xie Yao shows that he used to have... very good taste.
