Chapter 130 Go and see the portraits you brought
Xue Yili was slightly surprised, looked at the little girl's expression, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
There was no way to explain this. Ji Jinyou put the hand that Xue Yili had pulled behind her back and shook her head: "Nothing, it's just too hot."
Having said that, take a step forward.
Xue Yili looked at the charming figure in front of him and raised his palm to feel the cool autumn wind blowing across his hand.
He whispered to Cong'an beside him, "What unhappy things have happened to the little princess outside the palace?"
Cong An shook his head: "I haven't heard about it. I've been fine."
Ji Jinyou was a carefree person. After the two of them met Concubine Yun, chatted for a while in her palace, and had dinner together, she forgot about the slight awkwardness in her heart.
When Concubine Yun saw that her son's eyes were always on the little girl, she held her forehead and pretended to be tired, saying that she wanted to rest.
Ji Jinyou and Xue Yili said goodbye and walked out, and the two of them walked slowly along the long corridor.
Ji Jinyou was full and in a good mood. He chattered to Xue Yili about the interesting things that happened outside the palace in the past few days: "Sister Yao and I went to see the eldest brother of the Gu family. Yu'er learned that the eldest brother of the Gu family was an extraordinary martial artist, so he insisted on following us. In the past few days, he pestered the eldest brother of the Gu family to spar with him. He pestered the eldest brother of the Gu family so much that he had a bitter face whenever he saw him. If Sister Yao hadn't been there, he would have wanted to turn around and leave..."
Xue Yili smiled and listened quietly. Whenever he walked across the stairs or turned a corner, he would extend his hand to protect her.
When they reached the fork in the road ahead, thinking that Ji Jinyou had eaten a little too much at night, Xue Yili asked, "Should we go back and rest now, or take a walk?"
Ji Jinyou thought for a moment and said, "I want to take a walk. It's OK if Jin Xing and the others accompany me. Brother Ali, you can go back and do your work."
Although she didn't come to Dayao very often, she stayed in the palace for a long time each time and was very familiar with it. She didn't need him to accompany her all the time.
Emperor Dayao is now concentrating on recuperating from his illness and has completely stopped caring about anything. All the burdens are on Xue Yili alone. He is busy with government affairs every day, so she had better not waste his time, lest he has to be busy until late at night again.
Xue Yili smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll accompany you and take a breath."
Xue Yili has been the crown prince for many years. He is now very familiar with handling government affairs and has no problem finding time to spend with the little girl.
Seeing that he insisted, Ji Jinyou agreed.
The moon was bright in the sky as the two chatted as they walked. Golden Apricot and Begonia, as well as the palace maids who served Xue Yili, followed closely behind.
A cool breeze blew, Ji Jinyou rubbed his arms, Xue Yili stretched out his hand to the side, and the eunuch who was following not far away hurriedly trotted over to hand the cloak in his hand to Xue Yili, then silently stepped back.
Xue Yili shook his cloak, wrapped Ji Jinyou in it, tied the belt for her, and asked, "Are you still cold?"
The coolness on his body dissipated, and Ji Jinyou nodded: "It's not cold anymore."
Xue Yili reached out to touch her head and held her hand out of habit.
Xue Yili practiced martial arts every day, including swords, spears, halberds, bows and arrows, with thin bands on his palms and fingertips.
During the first two days after she arrived, when Xue Yili held her hand, Ji Jinyou held his big hand and looked at it carefully. She also discussed with him who had the thicker rope on his hand, her seventeenth brother or her fifteenth brother. At that time, she did not think there was anything wrong with it.
But tonight, when that warm big hand wrapped around her cool hand, Ji Jinyou thought of Yun Yao's joke again, and a little uncomfortable rose in her heart again.
She and Xue Yili had known each other since childhood. He had held her in his arms countless times. The two of them got along like siblings, and holding hands was the most normal thing for them.
But Yun Yao played such a joke today. Now that she thinks about it carefully, she and he have grown up, and it is time to avoid suspicion. After all, siblings will not be too intimate when they grow up to their age. Even Brother Seventeen and she don't hold hands now.
If she and Xue Yili continued to do this, and it got out, his future wife would definitely be unhappy, and her future husband would certainly not be happy either.
Thinking of this, Ji Jinyou turned his hand and tried to pull his hand out.
Xue Yili did not let go, but held it tighter and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Jinyou thought about it and decided to speak frankly, so he told her what he was thinking truthfully.
Xue Yili stopped and stood opposite Ji Jinyou. He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl who was only as tall as his chin. Her dark eyes sparkled in the moonlight.
Ji Jinyou's hand was held tightly by him. Looking up, she saw that handsome face, which was half-lit and half-dark under the moonlight, was calm, but her eyes were scorching, giving people a feeling that was a little different from before.
After being stared at by him for a while, Ji Jinyou felt a little uneasy inexplicably, and subconsciously took a small step back, "What, what's wrong?"
Xue Yili took a small step forward, closing the distance between them. His deep voice sounded a little cold: "Want to draw a line between you and me?"
Hearing the coldness in his tone, Ji Jinyou felt a little headache: "It's not about drawing a clear line, but we have all grown up. If we continue like this..."
Ji Jinyou shook their tightly clasped hands and said, "If this continues, it will be bad if it gets out."
Xue Yili asked: "What's wrong with that?"
Ji Jinyou originally thought that Xue Yili would understand it immediately, after all, he was so smart, but she didn't expect him to ask her why it was not good, so she had to explain patiently: "Men and women should not touch each other. You will get married in the future. If your wife knew what we did today, would she..."
Xue Yili interrupted her: "I don't care."
Ji Jinyou: "...I'm going to get married in the future, and I don't want my husband to be unhappy because of this."
Xue Yili stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled and held her hand as he continued to walk forward: "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already protecting me?"
Ji Jinyou reasoned with him again: "It's not about protecting others, it's about putting yourself in their shoes. If my husband is this old and still flirts with other women, I will definitely not be happy."
Xue Yili smiled and said, "Very good."
Ji Jinyou stretched out his hands: "Then let me go."
Xue Yili stopped again and stood in front of Ji Jinyou. Ji Jinyou didn't expect him to stop suddenly and almost bumped into him. She glared at him in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"
Xue Yili smiled and said, "Let's go take a look at the portraits you brought."
