"Did you deliver the letter I wrote that day?" Yan Xi asked, looking at the silly-looking man in front of him.
"I sent it." Yun Can scratched his head in confusion. "Master, is there something wrong?"
Yan Xi shook his head and said nothing.
Since it was delivered, Li Yancheng should have seen the letter.
Why did you give him such a valuable thing?
Or maybe he just doesn't take it seriously.
Yan Xi felt a little depressed and thought helplessly that he would wait until tomorrow morning and then personally return the pearl to Xiaoyao Palace.
…
Li Yuling sat blankly in front of the dressing table, not knowing what she was thinking about. A blush crept onto her originally sickly pale cheeks.
Seeing this, the maid who was dressing her smiled and asked, "Princess, are you still thinking about Mr. He?"
"I didn't do that, Xiaolian, don't talk nonsense." Li Yuling bit her lower lip and denied weakly with a blushing face.
Xiaolian looked at the shy person in the mirror with amusement, "I am not talking nonsense. The princess is paying special attention to Mr. He today. However, I think Mr. He is handsome and has great martial arts skills. He is a perfect match for the princess."
"This princess..." Li Yuling opened her mouth, but she had no way to refute. In her heart, she was still a little happy because of the words "very compatible". After a while, she said coquettishly, "What's the point of being compatible? Maybe he already has someone he loves."
Seeing her expression, Xiaolian, who was very good at reading people's words, quickly said, "How could that be? I heard that Mr. He has always been chaste and has never married. He doesn't even have a woman by his side. He usually concentrates on practicing martial arts and reading books, and never visits any brothels. I guess no woman can catch his eye."
Hearing this, Li Yuling lowered her brows and clenched the handkerchief in her delicate hands. "Then, can this princess catch his eye?"
"Why not?" Xiaolian raised her chin and said proudly, "You are a legitimate princess. The Emperor and the Empress both dote on you. With such a noble status, what man in the world wouldn't want to marry a princess? As long as the princess asks the Emperor for permission, how could he dare not marry you?"
Li Yuling pursed her lips and looked up at herself in the bronze mirror.
Yes, she is a princess. Whatever she wants, her father, the emperor, and her mother will agree to it and do as she wishes.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes with some anticipation.
…
Yan Xi took the Silver Dragon Orb to the Xiaoyao Palace early in the morning, ready to return it to its original owner.
But the palace's steward refused to accept it and insisted that he keep it.
"Master He, please go back. Without the prince's order, I dare not make any decision easily."
"But……"
"Mr. He, please go back and stop making things difficult for me." The butler said with a bitter face.
The words Yan Xi wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and his expression was indescribable.
It’s not right to accept it, and it’s not right not to accept it. I feel so tired.
In the end, Yan Xi returned empty-handed.
After much thought, he decided to sneak into the palace in the middle of the night while they were sleeping and put it in Li Yancheng's room.
So that night, Yan Xi put on her nightgown and carefully slipped into Li Yancheng's bedroom. She took out the small box, glanced around, and her eyes were fixed on the bed behind the screen.
If they put it on the bed, it would be difficult to notice and would only be discovered when the maid cleaned the room. In this way, after some time, it would be difficult for them to deliver it to him again.
Yan Xi made up his mind and walked around the screen. Just as he was about to use the box, someone suddenly grabbed his hand in the dark. He was so scared that he immediately started fighting with the other person.
In the chaos, the small box was not held firmly and the orb rolled out. In an instant, the whole room was as bright as day.
At the same time, he also saw clearly the face of the person fighting with him in close combat. His eyes widened in astonishment. "Prince? Why is it you?"
