Chapter 114 Chu Jin is here too?
Xiyan turned around and met the gentle gaze of Crown Prince Helian Feng.
Su Wan's eyes trembled, and she lowered her head hurriedly, looking gentle and timid again.
When Helian Shu saw that it was the eldest brother, she immediately changed her expression to one of grievance:
"Brother, look, these two maids actually dared to steal things from the imperial kitchen..."
"oh?"
Helian Feng glanced at the oil-paper bag in Helian Shu's hand, and said nothing. Instead, he walked slowly to Xiyan, staring at her eyes and chuckled:
"Miss Xiyan, why didn't you tell the princess that I gave you the osmanthus cake as a reward?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and seemingly casually brushed away the fallen cherry blossoms on her shoulders. When he lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes cast tiny shadows under his eyes, just enough to cover up the deep meaning flowing in his eyes.
Xiyan was slightly stunned. It was obvious that Helian Feng was trying to help her out.
"Your Highness," she raised her eyes, a hint of confusion welling up in them.
"I was so flustered that I forgot to mention..."
"What are you panicking about?"
Helian Feng curled his lips into a smile, and suddenly turned his gaze to the rockery behind the path:
"I just asked the Imperial Master to get this sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the imperial kitchen as a special reward for them. This is because the Imperial Master accidentally injured Miss Xiyan before, and I am deeply sorry, right, Imperial Master?"
Manluo was slightly stunned. Chu Jin was here too?
She looked back and saw Chu Jin walking out from the shadow of the rockery with an angry look on his face, with a few water marks on his red robe.
Manluo cursed in her heart: This bastard is really haunting me, following me all the time. Is he chasing me by the smell?
Chu Jin's eyes were like knives, slashing at Man Luo fiercely, but he still continued Helian Feng's words:
"Your Highness, I did take it from the imperial kitchen and gave it to these two girls."
Helian Shu's face froze slightly:
"I see. It seems I misunderstood! However, I am curious: when did my brother the Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor become so close to the maidservant from the Prince Regent's Palace?"
Helian Feng raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Miss Xiyan, you are quite pleasing to my eye."
However, Su Wan's expression changed, and she secretly exerted force with her white fingertips, twisting the handkerchief into a ball.
Ever since Helian Feng appeared, his eyes had always been fixed on the maid in white, and he had never even spared her a glance, as if she, the future Crown Princess, was just an irrelevant stranger.
Xiyan was a little embarrassed. As smart as she was, she had noticed Su Wan's expression.
On the other hand, the Sixth Prince Helian Ji was full of impatience:
"You guys are so nagging. What are you standing here for? Ji'er is hungry and needs to eat!"
The awkward atmosphere was somewhat eased by his noise.
Helian Feng patted his brother's head and said gently:
"Okay, okay, Ji'er is hungry, let's go back to Changle Palace for dinner."
Then, he smiled at Xiyan: "Miss Xiyan, let's go together!"
Xiyan smiled gently at Helian Feng, expressing her gratitude for his help.
The two walked side by side, walking in front.
Helian Feng would chat with her from time to time, and they were very cordial. Looking at their backs, they seemed like a match made in heaven.
Helian Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and exchanged glances with Su Wan. The latter bit her lower lip lightly, and although she maintained a decent smile on her face, the loneliness in her eyes could not be hidden.
A storm subsided quietly just like that.
On the way back to Changle Palace, Manluo slowed down her pace and deliberately moved closer to Chu Jin:
"Master Imperial Master, I just bumped into you at Chunxi Cottage. I was afraid of your punishment, so I hurried away. Please don't be offended."
There was a hint of apology in her tone, and her eyebrows were curved, full of playfulness.
Chu Jin glanced at her viciously as if he saw a bunch of dirt, without even a hum, he stretched out his long legs and walked away.
Manluo stared at Chu Jin's back, his head held high and chest puffed out, her red lips curled slightly:
This bastard is pretending to be serious! He was much cuter on the couch than he is now.
Sometimes, when she thinks about it carefully, although the two of them are enemies, to be honest, although this guy is vicious and hateful, he looks really good and is not vague about that matter, so she can use him quite smoothly!
Staring at the man's perky buttocks in front of her, Manluo suddenly remembered that day when the two of them were fighting fiercely. She stared at the white patch and on a whim, she slapped it. Chu Jin was so angry that he almost lost his army.
Thinking of this, her palms suddenly felt itchy.
As a result, she was such an honest girl that she thought so and actually did it!
