All are here
Seeing the two masters cuddling affectionately together, Eunuch Ming wisely lowered his head and looked at the floor: "Your Highness, Madam Jing."
Si Pei had no intention of letting Jing Yao go, but Jing Yao was not as shameless as him. He pinched the man's waist hard and pushed away his tightly hugged arms.
The man's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth twitched noticeably.
"Who's coming?"
"Your Highness, it's the General of the Cavalry. He wants to see Madam Jing."
Hearing this, Jing Yao's eyes flashed with light, and she was ecstatic inside - Zuo Yuanwu came to find her!
I asked him to check Si Jue's background before. Did he find any useful clues?
"oh?"
Si Pei naturally did not miss Jing Yao's happy expression, and a feeling of sourness filled his heart.
"Only Yaoyao?"
He was asking about Eunuch Ming, but his eyes were fixed on Jing Yao.
"Your Highness, yes."
Eunuch Ming forced a smile and replied to him, but he felt a chill in his heart and got goose bumps all over his body.
No matter how happy Jing Yao was, she couldn't ignore the direct, hook-like gazes from those around her. She now had a firm grasp on how to coax Si Pei, a man with even more temper than she did.
Si Pei is wary of this and dislikes that every day. Isn't it because he is afraid that she will run away with someone else?
Don't talk too much, just practice what you preach.
Jing Yao hugged the young man and nibbled his cheek expertly. "Xiao Li, I'm going to go talk to Zuo Yuanwu for a while. Wait for me to come back, okay?"
Si Pei's heart skipped a beat, his heart filled with inexplicable emotions. For the first time... between him and Zuo Yuanwu, he felt that Jing Yao's position in his heart surpassed Zuo Yuanwu's.
Has he ever been treated so gently by Yao Yao?
Will Yao Yao pay attention to his mood?
Has he ever been kissed by Yaoyao?
A series of questions flooded Si Pei's mind, but he thought that Zuo Yuanwu definitely had never gotten it.
"Um."
The young man smiled indulgently: "Go ahead."
Jing Yao rubbed against his arms twice, then without looking back, she lifted her skirt and ran out of Yilan Palace.
There was a look of pride and confidence on her face, and she was very confident in her ability to control Si Pei.
Kissing him can make him happy, calling him Xiaoli as a familiar name can make him relax his guard, and telling him to wait for her to come back is to tell him that she will not run away with Zuo Yuanwu, and she hopes he can put his mind at ease.
After hearing this, there was no reason for Si Pei to refuse. If he was smart enough, he would know that Jing Yao had already taken his thoughts into consideration.
Jing Yao was wearing a light blue skirt with orchid patterns and silver patterns today, and she looked like a light and beautiful blue butterfly when she ran.
Si Pei stood outside Yilan Palace, staring at the girl running down the stairs towards someone else, and couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.
"Your Highness?"
Eunuch Ming called him softly, and Si Pei realized that he had been distracted for a moment.
The man in gold and blue armor was led into the East Palace by palace servants. Zuo Yuanwu felt a little uneasy, wondering whether the prince would let Jing Yao out to see him after his sudden visit.
Recently, he heard that Jing Yao had left the palace to meet the young ladies of the Huo and Jiang families. Based on Zuo Yuanwu's understanding of Si Pei, since he was able to let Jing Yao step out of the East Palace, the relationship between the two should not be as tense as before.
Earlier in the imperial prison, the young lady had already shown signs of softening her attitude, and the relationship between the two of them could be reconciled immediately as long as Jing Yao was willing.
People in the palace also said that Si Jing and Si Pei were now in love and living together in a sweet and affectionate relationship. However, their improved relationship did not mean that Si Pei would let down her guard against him.
These are two different things.
Zuo Yuanwu began to worry again that this would be detrimental to the young lady. Before he could regret it, a familiar clear female voice came to his ears:
"Zuo! Yuan! Wu!"
Zuo Yuanwu turned around in astonishment. When he saw the girl running towards him alone with her skirt lifted, the surprise in his eyes instantly turned into joy: "Miss!"
He took two steps forward, but Jing Yao ran too fast and couldn't stop, so he fell into his arms.
Zuo Yuanwu had no time to react and could only open his arms to hug the little butterfly that was flying towards him.
Jing Yao was very light, but Zuo Yuanwu still used his remaining strength to hold the person in his arms and spin around several times.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The girl's laughter beside his ears was as sweet as a silver bell. Zuo Yuanwu thought, I really hope she will keep laughing happily like this.
Jing Yao really likes the feeling of being held in the air. Zuo Yuanwu did the same thing in the past when he was in the Duke Jing's Mansion. She would force him to hold Jing Yao up and spin around.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, she was just dissatisfied that the armor Zuo Yuanwu wore today was too hard and it hurt her.
Zuo Yuanwu put the man down. Jing Yao jumped up and down, his face full of anticipation: "Brother Yuanwu, do you have something to tell me?"
Although he knew what the girl was talking about, her cute look still made Zuo Yuanwu feel a little distracted.
"Hmm... Hmm!" The tall and strong man rarely showed any shyness. He looked around the empty space and his face became serious: "Let's go talk somewhere else."
Jing Yao glanced at the patrolling Imperial Guards not far away and felt that Zuo Yuanwu was right. This place was too dangerous. They were still discussing a possible rebellious prince, and it would be bad if others heard about it.
"Okay, let's go to the small garden."
"Um."
Zuo Yuanwu nodded, and Jing Yao walked in front of him with light and nimble steps. At this moment, he looked less like a butterfly and more like a sneaky but cute rabbit.
The two of them walked towards the East Palace flower garden, and this movement was naturally reported to Si Pei.
"Your Highness, don't worry. General Zuo and Madam Jing are just catching up."
Eunuch Ming ground ink for him while carefully comforting him, saying that his own prince always felt resentful about things concerning Madam Jing and had always been at odds with General Zuo.
But today, it must be that Madam Jing acted coquettishly to gain some peace of mind from His Highness, so he allowed her to meet with General Zuo alone.
Although Si Pei didn't say it, he must have felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Yeah. Nothing."
Si Pei ignored the fact that his hands were gripping the brush so tightly that his fingertips had turned white, and his expression remained as natural as usual.
Eunuch Ming quickly responded with a few awkward laughs, but he felt very surprised. Has His Highness finally learned to relax and open up?
Si Pei said nothing, but continued to paint.
In fact, he has always known Zuo Yuanwu's feelings for Jing Yao. Si Pei is not a fool. If it were someone else, Si Pei would definitely not give him the chance to stay with Jing Yao.
But Zuo Yuanwu is different after all.
The two of them had known each other longer than he had, and Zuo Yuanwu had been taking care of Jing Yao since she was a child, so it was normal for her to have feelings for him.
He is one of the few people in Jingyao who is still alive and is like a relative to him.
No matter how unwilling Si Pei was, he had to admit this fact.
The depth of Jing Yao's feelings for Zuo Yuanwu may be beyond his reach, nor can he snatch it away or change it.
As for Zuo Yuanwu, Si Pei knew that he was the only one in the world who would desperately protect Jing Yao. Baili Wenfu was hesitant because he bore the fate of his entire clan on his shoulders.
But Zuo Yuanwu is different. He has long been an orphan and alone. The only person in the world who has a relationship with him is Jing Yao.
So he is willing to give everything for Jing Yao.
The temporary peace between them was also because Si Pei promised that he would never hurt Jing Yao, and Zuo Yuanwu chose to give in and endure his dissatisfaction.
In the past, he had resisted Zuo Yuanwu from getting close to Jing Yao because of the strong sense of unease and fear in his heart.
When he thought about the deep friendship between Jing Yao and Zuo Yuanwu and how much they had in the past, he was jealous to the point of going crazy, even though he knew that the relationship between them was more like family than love.
But Jing Yao's dependence on Zuo Yuanwu was what he longed for.
She gave all her tenderness to Baili Wenfu, and her trust to Zuo Yuanwu without reservation, leaving only resentment for Si Pei. And those were all things he once possessed and then destroyed with his own hands.
Si Pei clearly knew the root cause of all this - it was his own paranoia and selfishness, and it was he who insisted on keeping Jing Yao by his side.
But Si Pei couldn't and didn't dare to let go.
He knew Jing Yao would never choose him.
Until this moment, Si Pei couldn't seriously say that he had completely overcome the uneasiness in his heart and could rest assured that Jing Yao would be alone with others, but Jing Yao's promise gave him the courage to try his best to accept it.
He believed that Yao Yao would not lie to him and would come back.
Jing Yao chose him.
So if she wanted to see Zuo Yuanwu, she would go, even if
The young man had an irrepressible smile on his face. Just as he was about to finish the last stroke, a young eunuch hurried in from outside the hall and whispered something into Eunuch Ming's ear.
The latter looked startled, his brow furrowed again. A moment later, he came to Si Pei's side and said, "Your Highness, General Wenrencuo has sent someone to inform you that he wants to see... Madam Jing."
Hearing this, Si Pei suddenly tilted the brush in his hand, leaving a long mark on the rice paper.
His expression was stern: "Who do you think he wants to see?"
"...Madam Jing."
Eunuch Ming was also complaining in his heart.
Zuo Yuanwu and Jing Yao had a good relationship, so it was reasonable for them to meet and reminisce about the past, but why would the General of Chariots and Cavalry, who had just returned to the court, also come to join in the fun?
He and Madam Jing must have never even met each other!
Perhaps the other party also realized that the words were too general and might cause misunderstanding, so he called the eunuch in to convey the message again.
This time, Si Pei didn't need the eunuch to relay the story to Eunuch Ming. He just asked him to tell Wen Rencuo everything he had said.
"Your Highness, General Wenren said... a few days ago, he had some unpleasantness with Madam Jing at Yushan Bookstore due to a misunderstanding. So he came here today to apologize to Madam Jing in person."
Si Peifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous coldness: "Since he has made her unhappy, then I think Yaoyao definitely doesn't want to see him either."
The Crown Prince's tone was cold, even annoyed. The young eunuch understood and kowtowed quickly: "Your Highness is right. I will go back and tell the general."
The young eunuch, sweating profusely, stood up and was about to step out of Yilan Palace when the cold voice behind him spoke again, "Wait."
Si Pei's eyes turned and he walked out slowly.
Wenren Cuo was no fool; he had come here specifically for this matter for some other purpose. He wanted to meet this General of Chariots and Cavalry, with whom he had a bad relationship, to see what he had up his sleeve.
We should at least give him a warning, don't let him really think that he is a big shot and dare to have such thoughts towards Yao Yao.
"Let him in. I will see him in person."
"yes."
The young eunuch was sweating on his forehead and only dared to raise his sleeve to wipe it off after he left the door.
He rushed to the gate of the East Palace without stopping. The man who had changed out of his armor was standing there waiting.
"General Wenren, please follow me."
The young eunuch diligently led Wenren Cuo to the front, but his expression was not very good.
"Are we going to...?"
Wenrencuo realized that this road did not lead to the front hall of the East Palace, but to the backyard instead.
The young eunuch hesitated, "General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you in person at Yilan Palace."
It sounds like Yilan Palace is the bedroom where the concubines live, and the prince is still in there. Could it be Jing Yao’s bedroom?
How could a foreigner like him go to a girl's residence?
What’s more, the prince did not meet him in the main hall... What does this mean?
Deliberately to embarrass him?
It seems that Prince Si Pei wants to give him a warning.
