Chapter 171: Quiet
"Young Master!" Yinfeng walked into the study and bowed to Xuan Shaoqing.
"What's the matter?" Xuan Shaoqing was painting. The woman in the painting was wearing a bright red dress and holding a soft whip in her hand. There was a hint of sharpness in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and a smile at the corners of her mouth.
He gently lifted the cuff of his right hand with his left hand, and used the brush in his hand to apply a little bright red between the woman's lips.
Yinfeng stole a glance at the painting on the table, sighed inwardly, and said, "My Lord, Miss Yuan Er has opened a new flower and plant shop today."
Xuan Shaoqing paused for a moment, then said, "Go prepare a generous gift and send it over!"
Yinfeng raised his head slightly, glanced at Xuan Shaoqing's expression, and quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes!" Then he left the study.
Xuan Shaoqing looked at the person in the painting, a faint smile crossed his lips, then he took a brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote two words in the lower right corner of the painting: Quiet.
"Oh..." At this time, a sigh came from the door of the study.
Xuan Shaoqing looked up at the door and carefully put away the painting. "You're here, why are you still sighing at the door? Could it be that you've defeated Princess Linyang again and are feeling uneasy?"
"God, I beg you!" Ji Huaixuan's eyes widened after hearing Xuan Shaoqing's words. "How could I dare to fight her? I couldn't hide from her. Oh, my eldest prince, please forgive me and let me hide here for a while. You don't know how hard I've been going through these days. Whenever Princess Linyang has some free time, she'll definitely pick a fight with me. It's only because I'm smart, otherwise she would have tied me up and taken me to the training ground long ago."
"By the way, how did you recruit her?" Xuan Shaoqing was really curious about why Ji Huaixuan was being stared at so closely by Lin Yang.
Everyone knows that Ji Huaixuan defeated Princess Linyang, but no one knows the specific circumstances. All they know is that Princess Linyang is keeping a close eye on Ji Huaixuan.
"Oh, don't mention it!" Ji Huaixuan shook his head and sighed. "I was unlucky too. I was walking down the street and saw someone robbing something, so I was kind enough to try and get some help. Then Princess Linyang disguised herself as a man and joined in the fun. I thought she was in cahoots with the thief, so I...beat her up!"
Xuan Shaoqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this: "What bad luck!"
Then he asked curiously, "But this isn't a big deal, right? Just explain it clearly. At most, you can offer some courtesy and apology. From what I know about Lin Yang, she's not the type to be unreasonable."
"That's not...that's not..." Ji Huaixuan blushed when he thought of what happened at the beginning, and he didn't say the rest of the words for a long time.
Xuan Shaoqing suddenly had an idea: "You didn't molest Lin Yang, did you? Otherwise, why would she call you a lecher?"
"No way?" Ji Huaixuan said hurriedly: "I didn't do it on purpose, I just accidentally touched her chest, I..."
After saying that, Ji Huaixuan realized what he had said and quickly covered his mouth!
"Well, so, you really are a scoundrel!" Xuan Shaoqing nodded seriously and said.
"Oh my god!" Ji Huaixuan put his hand on his forehead and leaned against the door frame: "I'm not careful in choosing friends, I'm not careful in choosing friends!"
"Is it a mistake to make friends?" Xuan Shaoqing sat down and picked up the teacup beside him: "Then I won't see you off!"
"Don't even think about it!" Ji Huaixuan hurried into the study and sat down opposite Xuan Shaoqing with a majestic look. "We're evenly matched. Tell me, when he opened a pastry shop last time, you dared to go to his house and personally give him a gift. Why, this time he opened a flower shop, you let Yinfeng prepare a generous gift for him while you hide in the study painting? Humph, don't think I didn't see what you painted?"
"I don't want to leave the house, is that okay?" Xuan Shaoqing said lightly.
"Oh, my Prince Xuan!" Ji Huaixuan put his elbows on the table and supported his face with his hands: "This is not your style!"
"What style do you think I should have?"
"The Prince Xuan I know is fearless!" Ji Huaixuan shook his head and sighed, "Why are you so timid when you're here with Miss Yuan Er?"
Xuan Shaoqing glanced at Ji Huaixuan and asked, "Don't you know that Miss Yuan Er is already engaged?"
"Then we can be friends!" Ji Huaixuan said, "It's better than hiding in this study and secretly drawing people. At least you can see the real person from time to time, right?"
"Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?" Xuan Shaoqing snorted.
"Hey, Shaoqing, let's make it clear who is heartless?" Ji Huaixuan was not happy.
"I'm talking about you!"
"Why am I so heartless?" Ji Huaixuan asked with his eyes wide open.
"Have you ever thought about why Lin Yang insisted on dragging you into a fight and wanted you to beat her?" Xuan Shaoqing took a sip of tea and asked softly.
"Why else? It's just that I can't get over it!" Ji Huaixuan leaned back in his chair, looking hopeless. "Tell me, why am I so unlucky? I told her I didn't dare to beat her, I didn't dare to beat her, but she insisted on dragging me into a fight, and she had to beat me before it would count. Tell me, what kind of thing is this?"
Without waiting for Xuan Shaoqing's response, he continued, "I've already said it, why don't I just admit defeat? But you just won't agree. Ouch, my head hurts..."
As he spoke, Ji Huaixuan rubbed his temples, looking dejected.
"Have you ever thought about other reasons?" Xuan Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What other reason could there be? If you ask me, Princess Linyang is just too idle. Why doesn't Prince Kang quickly arrange a marriage for her and get her married off?" Ji Huaixuan lamented, "But it's so hard for me!"
"You don't know?" Xuan Shaoqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Ji Huaixuan.
"What do I know?" Ji Huaixuan was confused and looked at Xuan Shaoqing in confusion.
"Ahem!" Xuan Shaoqing said, "Linyang said she wanted to marry someone who could beat her, and she wouldn't consider anything else."
"Then go find someone who can beat him. Why are you pestering me? I don't dare to beat her!" Ji Huaixuan held his head in distress. Day by day, he was almost like a frightened bird, afraid that Princess Linyang would appear out of nowhere at any time and grab him to fight.
"Ahem!" Seeing that Ji Huaixuan still looked clueless, Xuan Shaoqing simply said, "Haven't you already defeated her?"
"That's because I didn't know!" Ji Huaixuan yelled, "She was dressed as a man, how could I know she was the Princess of Linyang!"
"So, Lin Yang wants you to beat her again!"
"I don't dare..." Ji Huaixuan finally reacted halfway through his words, his face full of horror: "It's not... it's not what I thought, right?"
"What do you think?"
