carriage
After leaving the palace, Xiao Huacheng finally became obsessed with this world and began to practice writing Xie Lian's name.
Mo Qiuyan stared at the two messy water stains on the ground and fell into deep thought.
The brush in Huacheng's hand was made from the fur of the game she had hunted in the mountains. It felt good, and if it was wet, it could be used to write and draw on the ground, just like the children Mo Qiuyan had seen downstairs in his previous life.
The pen is useful, but it turns out that even a priceless pen is treated equally in Huacheng's hands.
"What are you writing here?" Mo Qiuyan pointed at one of the water stains and turned to ask Xiao Huacheng.
"……pity."
“…What a bunch of good words.”
“…”
"Forget it, just give me your hand and I'll help you write."
I'm sorry, Lianlian, you're no longer the first person to teach Huacheng how to write, but I really can't stand it anymore. Help...
The result of his hands-on instruction was that he could at least make out what was written. But as soon as Mo Qiuyan let go, Xiao Huacheng's handwriting immediately became what it should be.
"...Xiao Honghong, you are beyond help."
Xiao Huacheng was clearly skeptical, believing he could definitely write it well. The next day, when Mo Qiuyan woke up, he discovered the tattoo on his arm was only halfway done.
Mo Qiuyan patted Xiao Huacheng on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, Xiao Honghong, you won't be able to take the civil service exam."
Xiao Huacheng: “……?”
…
At noon, people had already gone home for lunch, and only a few vendors were taking a nap with their eyes closed on the street.
Mo Qiuyan brought the child and dodged here and there to buy food on the street. The sesame cakes were the cheapest at this time, so it would be best to save more money so that he could cope with the future plot.
"...How come you can come up with so many tricks on such a short distance?"
Xiao Huacheng watched in silence as Mo Qiuyan took him to hide here and there, and finally couldn't help asking.
What if I run into Qi Rong without you?
Mo Qiuyan tried everything possible to avoid letting Xiao Huacheng get hurt.
Five broken ribs, a leg and a bunch of injuries are going to hurt no matter how you look at it!
As it turned out, Qi Rong's attack on Xiao Huacheng was targeted, and no matter how hard he tried to hide, it was useless.
And the timing was especially fortuitous.
As soon as the two of them emerged from the darkness and ran to the pancake stall, Qi Rong's carriage appeared rampaging.
Qi Rong's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Huacheng: "It's that little immortal! Catch him!"
Five or six people surrounded them. Mo Qiuyan silently pushed Xiao Huacheng behind her and said, "Xiao Honghong, don't run around. I'll protect you."
But she couldn't escape so easily. She couldn't summon Mo Li and Xiao Wu in public. Using a sword to attack a member of the royal family was no small matter. If she was convicted of a crime, it would be a truly horrific punishment.
It would be easy if she ran by herself, but it would be difficult if she brought little Huacheng with her.
Fighting by yourself is free and unrestrained, but bringing someone along, especially the one being targeted, is really hard to protect.
Therefore, there is a high probability that Xiaohuacheng will still have to be towed by a carriage.
But don't panic, there's still a chance.
As long as she could sneak away with Little Huacheng long enough, and hold out until Xie Lian and the others heard the noise and came over, this crisis would be resolved.
So Mo Qiuyan tried to stall for time: "I wonder why His Royal Highness the Little Mirror King is paying attention to common people like us?"
Qi Rong said arrogantly, "That kid next to you ruined the Heavenly Sacrifice Parade and you think nothing happened? I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"
After saying that, several people around rushed up and tried to capture Xiao Huacheng.
Even though you're not a villain, can you at least say a few words to me?
What about professional ethics?
Mo Qiuyan was roaring madly in her heart, but Qi Rong could not hear her inner monologue. She crossed her legs and watched her men beating people smugly.
Although the opposing team was outnumbered, Xiao Huacheng was no pushover. He was known for his fierce fighting skills, and with Mo Qiuyan's years of martial arts training, he quickly kicked and bit several of the other men, leaving them bleeding profusely.
Unfortunately, the other side has more people. If Xiao Huacheng is caught accidentally, he will probably be beaten even worse.
So Mo Qiuyan took advantage of the time when they were grimacing at their arm injuries, went up, picked up Xiao Huacheng and ran away.
If you can't beat him, don't force it.
She led Xiao Huacheng past the frightened vendors nearby and climbed up a ladder to the rooftop. After all, the higher you stood, the farther you could see. Running to Xie Lian was the safest option.
As a result, the furious Qi Rong ordered his men to shoot them with bows and arrows.
? Grab the bamboo shoots!
Although the arrow head would not kill people after being removed, it was enough to cause them trouble.
Their two legs couldn't outrun Qi Rong's carriage. They were soon stopped in the corner by Qi Rong and his men, with no way to retreat.
However, the protagonist's luck was truly extraordinary. Mo Qiuyan turned around and saw Xie Lian and his companions appear at the entrance of the alley. She hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, help me!"
Qi Rong still felt a little guilty about beating someone in the street. Upon hearing this, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Crown Prince cousin!"
Xie Lian and the other two saw what was happening and hurried over. Seeing the situation, they turned and asked Qi Rong, "Qi Rong, what's going on?"
Mo Qiuyan quickly spoke first to seize the opportunity: "My brother and I were shopping, but for some reason, His Royal Highness the Little Mirror Prince surrounded us and wanted to beat us up. Your Royal Highness, look." After saying this, she held up Xiao Huacheng's arm, which had been accidentally cut during the fight, and showed it to Xie Lian.
Seeing this, Qi Rong got angry again: "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak in front of me!"
Seeing this, Xie Lian frowned and stopped him, saying, “Qi Rong!”
Hearing this, Qi Rong finally calmed down, but still looked dissatisfied and said, "Brother Crown Prince, this little bastard ruined your ceremony. I'm here to help you vent your anger."
Xie Lian was puzzled, and his voice rose a notch. “So you just found someone to beat them up? I don’t need to vent my anger. What does this have to do with the child? It’s not his fault!”
Qi Rong, however, argued confidently, "Of course it's his fault. If it weren't for him, how could you have been scolded by the Imperial Master?"
The commotion was so intense that more and more people gathered around, whispering to each other.
Coincidentally, Mu Qing also walked up at this time. Qi Rong pointed at him with a whip, his expression filled with dissatisfaction and anger, and said, "And you, this servant. You can tell at a glance that this guy is not obedient. If you don't teach him a lesson now, he will sooner or later rebel against you, his master. I helped you teach him a lesson, but instead you protected him and reported me. Now my uncle and aunt have caught me and scolded me, and they have confiscated my golden carriage. Cousin, that was my birthday present! I've been looking forward to it for over two years!"
Mu Qing glanced at Qi Rong with a gloomy look. Xie Lian, furious, turned into a laugh and said, "I don't need you to do this for my own good. Are you venting your anger on me, or on yourself?"
"..." Qi Rong said, "Cousin, why do you say that to me? If I stand by you, what have I done wrong?"
Xie Lian couldn’t convince him, so he said, “Luckily nothing happened today, but you are not allowed to touch him again. Not even a finger. Do you understand?”
Qi Rong was furious and turned around and ran away with his men.
Mo Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief. Not only was Xiao Huacheng not injured, but the unpleasant plot between Xie Lian and the King because of Feng Xin was also indirectly revealed by the butterfly.
Xie Lian walked up to Mo Qiuyan and Xiao Huacheng and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Mo Qiuyan pushed Xiao Huacheng, who had become stiff due to Xie Lian's proximity, forward and said, "I'm fine, but I don't know if he has any other injuries. Your Highness, please help take a look."
Xiao Huacheng still didn't dare to move and let Xie Lian help him check.
You idiot, take some initiative! Where's your courage after eight hundred years?
The examination was complete. Xie Lian looked at the wound on Xiao Huacheng's arm and said, "Although the wound isn't deep, it should still be treated with care to prevent infection. How about this? You all follow me back to the palace. I'll ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for the child."
Mo Qiuyan was glad that the plot of entering the palace for the second time was not indirectly cut out, otherwise she would have committed a serious crime.
Then, perhaps because of his cute appearance, Xie Lian picked up Little Huacheng. Mo Qiuyan could clearly see Little Huacheng's ears turn red again.
yoooooooooooo~ She is really a pure and charming Crown Princess hehehe...
But at this time, Lian can still be the top, haha.
No, it's a leak! You can't reverse CP!
Xie Lian was holding the child in his arms. He turned his head and saw the girl facing him, or to be more precise, the two of them. There was a strange curve at the corner of her mouth (Qiu: That's an aunt's smile!). He was confused, but didn't think much about it. He held Xiao Huacheng in one hand and Mo Qiuyan in the other, and walked towards the palace with Feng Xin Muqing.
…
In Xie Lian's room, several imperial doctors surrounded Xiao Huacheng, trying to get him to remove the hand that was covering his eyes, but all their efforts failed.
Xie Lian was helpless and turned back to ask Mo Qiuyan, "Why won't he let go?"
Mo Qiuyan tilted his head and whispered in Xie Lian's ear, "Xiao Honghong doesn't want others to see that half of his face. Your Highness, it's best to ask those doctors and your two guards to leave first. When it's just the two of you, Your Highness, if you can comfort him a little more, he'll naturally let go."
Come on, little fafa~ I've created an opportunity for you~ Cherish it~
Xie Lian was puzzled, but he did as he was told.
As the door to Xie Lian's room closed, Mo Qiuyan could no longer suppress the curve of his lips, and laughed out loud under Feng Xin Muqing's look of looking at him as if he were a fool.
Xie Lian's side
Xie Lian slowly walked over to Xiao Huacheng, gently sat down beside him, and said softly, "It's all right now, don't be afraid."
Xiao Huacheng whispered, "I'm not afraid."
Xie Lian rubbed his head and said, "If you don't remove the bandage, the doctor won't be able to properly examine your head. There are only the two of us here. Trust me, I won't despise you."
Xiao Huacheng looked at Xie Lian in bewilderment. His reflection was reflected in her brown eyes, and the gentle smile on her face left him transfixed. His ornate, pleasing spirit garments had long since been removed. Without the embellishment of his attire, Xie Lian's gentle yet stoic temperament was even more pronounced.
He nodded slightly and slowly took off the bandage on his head.
When that distinctive red eye was revealed, Xie Lian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It was an extremely bright eye, bright red in color, and seemed to be shining, like a ruby inlaid on the bed curtain beside it, sparkling in the warm red light.
Xie Lian suddenly came to his senses and saw Xiao Huacheng looking at him anxiously. He exclaimed in surprise, "It's really beautiful."
Xiao Huacheng was stunned. He had never heard this evaluation from anyone other than Mo Qiuyan.
Ever since he could remember, everyone who had seen his right eye had called him a "monster." He was afraid Xie Lian would say the same, so he had always been reluctant to reveal his most special feature.
And now, when the person he loved said these words in front of him, he really felt his heart skip a beat.
"...Thank you." Xiao Huacheng said, his voice a little louder than before.
Xie Lian also smiled, and then checked his forehead, the back of his head and other parts to see if there were any hidden injuries.
"Alright." After the examination, Xie Lian wrapped a new bandage around him. "It's time for you to go. See you again someday."
…
Stepping out of the palace again, Xiao Huacheng unexpectedly felt a sense of unreality for the first time. It seemed like he had this kind of emotion for the first time, and developed an unknown feeling for a person he had only met twice in total.
And that person was the high and mighty prince.
"How is it? What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say to you?"
A provocative voice rang out beside his ear. It was Mo Qiuyan, who hadn't heard the conversation due to Feng Xinmuqing being present. He was now curiously asking him.
"...Nothing." Xiao Huacheng turned his head away and refused to answer.
"Hey hey hey? Xiao Honghong, tell me..."
"Stop calling me Little Red!"
