Chapter 98 Are You Disappointed With This Face?
Jing Ye found it quite funny seeing her acting like a spoiled brat.
Suddenly, he unconsciously reached out to pinch her cheek.
When Jiang Xue saw his hand reaching towards her face, she reflexively dodged it, stood up from the chair and took a step back.
After a moment, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
This action is very familiar.
In the past, when she was with Xiao Qi, she sometimes saw Xiao Qi was unhappy. In order to make him happy, she often acted cute and cute. After doing this several times, she would always make Xiao Qi smile again.
At those times, Xiao Qi would also reach out his hand and gently pinch her still chubby face.
Jiang Xue couldn't help but stare at Jing Ye closely, with a hint of disbelief in her tone, and said, "Your Majesty, what did you want to do just now?"
Jing Ye's hand stopped in mid-air, then he withdrew it.
He looked at Jiang Xue and mocked her, "I just wanted to test the princess's agility and reaction. You are so agile, and you still say you have never learned kung fu?"
Jiang Xue asked suspiciously, "You don't think so."
"Yes, indeed." He pointed at Jiang Xue's right cheek and said, "As a princess of a country, if you go out with saliva marks on your face, wouldn't it be indecent?"
What's the meaning?
Jiang Xue reached out and touched her cheek, and then her face turned red.
When she was a child, she had the habit of drooling when she slept. He Yuanzheng once diagnosed her pulse and said it was caused by cold stomach. After several years of recuperation, the Empress also had someone prepare ginger and dates for her to eat daily, and she gradually recovered.
Later, after moving out of Changle Palace for more than half a year, I was busy learning etiquette and preparing for the wedding. I had not had the habit of exercising, and I hardly even ate my favorite ginger and jujube.
I guess my stomach problem is coming back, which is why I drooled without realizing it while taking a nap just now.
Jiang Xue took out a handkerchief and wiped it roughly, then she coughed twice awkwardly and said, "I guess I didn't pay attention to the tea stains when I was drinking tea just now. Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty."
Jing Ye stood still, as if he was in no hurry to leave. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Princess, you just said that I don't think so - then what do you think I am thinking?"
Jiang Xue was stunned, then waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I thought the prince saw that I was so beautiful and couldn't help but want to do it—"
"Do it—" Jing Ye said with a smile, approaching Jiang Xue, "Do what?"
"You are so cruel to destroy a beautiful girl." Jiang Xue met his eyes and pretended to be serious, "You have destroyed my appearance. The prince wears a mask every day. I think he must be very concerned about his appearance. It is inevitable that he is jealous of my beauty."
Jiang Xue noticed that Jing Ye's eyes suddenly widened.
Jing Ye suddenly smiled and said, "I don't like to destroy flowers. I prefer to appreciate beauties."
After saying that, he reached out and pinched Jiang Xue's chin, and the two of them just stared at each other.
Jiang Xue took this opportunity to pull off the mask on Jing Ye's face.
There was so much about Jing Ye that made her feel familiar and inexplicably at ease.
For many days, she always had a ridiculous guess in her mind. Sometimes she would wake up in the middle of the night and be dazed by this guess all night long.
She wanted to see Jingye's face clearly and verify the absurd guess in her mind.
Jing Ye moved even faster. The moment her hand touched the mask, he reached out and grabbed it.
"What does the princess want to do?"
Jiang Xue remained silent.
"Do you want to see my face?" Jing Ye said softly.
“It’s not impossible.”
Jiang Xue looked at him in surprise, and the moment he let go of her hand, he lifted the silver mask.
Jiang Xue was stunned.
Under the mask is a completely unfamiliar face.
His outline is somewhat similar to Xiao Qi's, but his facial features are completely different.
It was a face with sharp lines and prominent eyebrows.
Not Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi's eyebrows are thicker, his eyes are rounder, and his lips are not as thin as Jing Ye's. Xiao Qi has a small mole on the right side of his nose bridge, while Jing Ye does not have one.
There was a small scar under Jing Ye's left eye, which looked like an old injury many years ago, but Xiao Qi had never had any scars on his face.
Not Xiao Qi.
Jiang Xue's breathing suddenly stopped.
It was as if there was a pool of ice-cold spring water in her heart that had nowhere to go, and the chill made her feel uncomfortable.
There was inexplicable sadness in her eyes when she looked at Jing Ye.
Jing Ye stared at her with his sharp eyes, looking very imposing.
"Princess, did you get what you wanted?"
"How sad," he said sarcastically, "it seems that my face has not grown into the appearance that the princess expected."
Jiang Xue lowered her eyes and whispered, "Your Majesty, this face is very good-looking."
She seemed to have swallowed down some emotion on her own. After a moment, she raised her eyes again, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Isn't it a pity to wear a mask on such a beautiful face? If I were the prince, I would be surrounded by flowers and brocade every day, attracting bees and butterflies."
Jing Ye ignored her teasing and only asked, "Many times, the princess looked at me as if she was looking at someone else."
"Before I take off this mask, which face does the princess want to see?"
Jiang Xue calmly began to talk nonsense: "Which other face? Of course it's the face under the prince's mask. I didn't expect him to be so handsome, like Pan An, with a dignified appearance, a clear mind and a beautiful figure. It's really intoxicating to see him."
Jing Ye clenched his fists, fearing that he might strangle Jiang Xue to death if he lost control.
After a moment, he let go of her hand, put on his mask again, turned around and left coldly.
"I'm afraid your prince consort will be very busy these days. If you have any clues, hurry up and have someone investigate." Jing Ye did not forget to remind him before leaving.
"Ah?" Jiang Xue asked in confusion, "What are you busy with?"
"Aren't you trying to shock the tigers with your beatings on the mountain?" Jing Ye said, "I've already asked someone to strike the mountain. Even if they can't shock the tigers, they can at least scare some snakes, rats, insects and ants on the mountain."
"Knock—" Before Jiang Xue could finish her words, Jing Ye had already jumped out of the window and flew away.
"Which mountain are you knocking on?" Jiang Xue asked puzzledly.
She walked out of the room immediately and found Fu Dong was already waiting in the yard.
Seeing Jiang Xue coming out, Fu Dong immediately walked over and saluted.
"Did your highness sleep well?"
Jiang Xue nodded and asked, "Has the food been delivered to the Prince Consort?"
Fu Dong frowned and shook his head, saying, "I went to two places with Guard Xu, and both said that the Prince Consort was not there. When I asked, they said they didn't know. I have already left a message with the guard at the gate of the Ministry of Rites, saying that His Highness was worried about the Prince Consort and sent me to deliver food."
Jiang Xue nodded and asked Fudong to call Xiaochun.
Xiaochun was just getting something from the front yard and returning to Wenqingxuan Courtyard. When she heard someone calling her, she immediately trotted to Jiang Xue's room.
"Your Highness."
"Are Chen Jin and Chen Xiu back?" Jiang Xue asked.
"Chen Jin hasn't come back yet, but Chen Xiu has found a way to get the letter." Xiaochun closed the door and handed the thing in his arms to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue took a look at the envelope. On the top was written "Gu Lintan's Family Letter", and on the left was written "Respectfully presented to my loving mother".
She put the envelope aside and said, "Send someone out to find out if anything big has happened in the capital today."
