Xihe thought about it, and suddenly took some rouge and applied it on his lips.
In an instant, a rich young man with red lips and white teeth appeared before everyone. The palace maids and attendants were stunned and muttered, "Young Master Yuan is so handsome."
Yuanfu blushed instantly, and his watery eyes secretly glanced at Xihe.
Xihe was certain. Well, this guy was interested in her... The group entered the small pavilion. The ladies in the pavilion looked at each other in surprise. Especially when they saw her with a man, they couldn't help but say, "Princess, can you let this young man..."
"go out!"
Xihe walked straight over.
The noble ladies were in disbelief, but the other party was Princess Jinrong, His Majesty's most beloved princess, and they were no match for her at all.
Everyone was feeling frustrated, but they could only leave in shame.
Xihe sat down and saw the third princess sitting across from him, still sitting there steadily. She was immediately surprised: "Why are you still here?"
The third princess was stunned: "I want to leave too?"
Xihe frowned, looking her up and down with an inexplicable expression: "They've all left, why don't you leave? Because you and I have the same last name?"
The Third Princess: ...Fuck it.
The third princess suddenly stood up and stormed out, only to hear Jin Rong's annoying voice from behind: "Gu Ye is playing with the young lady from the Song family, you'd better not get slapped in the face."
"Fang Jinrong, why are you so annoying!"
After cursing loudly, the third princess ran away, fearing that Xihe would whip her.
The bustling pavilion suddenly became quiet. Yuanfu was bewildered, but the palace maids and eunuchs looked as if it was a matter of course. Of course, the princess could do whatever she wanted! It was just a matter of driving a few noble ladies away. What was the big deal?
After a while, Yuan Fu finally recovered and asked, "Do you like General Gu very much?"
Yinsuo immediately said in a deep voice: "Master Yuan!"
Xihe glanced at her, and Yinsuo didn't dare to shut up. Xihe immediately looked at the person who was talking nonsense, and found it very funny. He started to be jealous before the territory was even marked out for him. How amazing.
She was at her ease: "Guess?"
Yuan Fu stared at her straight in the eyes: "I don't want to guess, I want you to tell me in person."
Xihe supported her chin with both hands, her eyes unwavering: "I don't like him." Before he could show any joy on his face, she continued slowly, "But I already have someone I like."
Yuanfu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his chest felt extremely stuffy.
He opened his mouth, but couldn't form a single sentence for a long time before he said with difficulty, "Who is he?"
How come I suddenly have someone I like? Didn't I just break off my engagement with Gu Ye? He subconsciously glanced at the guards and eunuchs standing guard outside the door, feeling that each of them was a suspect.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel sad. Could it be that his love died halfway?
Xihe laughed in his heart: "You will know when the time comes."
Yuanfu lost interest instantly and said "Oh" in a sullen voice. He was out of focus for the rest of the day, staring at the princess's pretty face in a daze. Yinsuo glared at him several times, but he didn't notice at all.
The servant noticed it and reminded him, but Yuanfu didn't listen at all and was still in a trance.
Wang Xiaoer couldn't help but shrink his neck, thinking to himself, Sister Yinsuo, it's useless to glare at me. I reminded him, but the young master didn't listen to me at all... Suddenly there was a bang.
Before the palace maids and servants could react, Yuanfu suddenly pounced on the princess.
Palace maids and attendants:!!!
Everyone was in disbelief. They didn't expect you to be this kind of Mr. Yuan! Isn't it good to be alive?
Swish,
A sharp arrow flew from a distance.
Xihe immediately dodged while holding Yuanfu, shouting, "Get down! There's an assassin!"
Everyone just reacted and was in a panic. Xihe found that no one was injured, so he immediately stood up and chased in the direction of the arrow. Seeing this, Yuanfu hurried to follow.
Countless arrows rained down, and the guards who had been prepared in the distance also rushed out, and the entire riverside was in chaos.
Xihe heard a call from behind, and turned around to see Yuanfu stumbling after him, narrowly avoiding the rain of arrows. The peony flower on his head had fallen off at some point, and the boy's face was full of panic.
Xihe cursed inwardly that he was holding back, ran back, and continued to chase after the man.
Yuanfu's face turned pale: "Princess, where did those assassins come from?"
Xihe followed the arrow's direction and ran to a forest. In the distance, he saw the back of a man in coarse linen clothes and hurried after him: "Isn't this what I want to ask you?"
Yuanfu subconsciously said "Ah" and asked, "Ask me?"
Xihe said nothing. As the imperial guards followed behind her, she pointed ahead and said, "Over there. Seal off the entire forest. No matter who lives or dies!"
The guards' eyes were fierce: "Yes, Your Highness!"
However, within one night, three or four guards disappeared. Looking back, the open space where the Flower Festival was held in the distance was still full of flowers. The crowd was just in a commotion for a while and soon returned to calm.
Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, then slowed down his pace and took Yuanfu through the mountains and forests to a valley.
The trees sprouted tender buds, and the river stream flowed quietly. At this time, dozens of tall men surrounded the fighting people. One side was advancing bravely, while the other side was fighting and retreating. It was easy to distinguish the two sides.
Xihe walked over, and the men all bowed, "Your Highness."
Xihe nodded, then looked at the two fighting parties. The leader of the Royal Guard paused and said, "They are very strong." They were so strong that it was unbelievable, and it directly shattered their complacency that had just risen in their hearts.
Xihe smiled: "It's normal to be strong."
She turned around and looked at Yuan Fu: "What do you think, Master Yuan?"
Yuan Fu was still completely bewildered. He took a closer look and then exclaimed, "Amazing! Princess, are all the Imperial Guards this powerful?"
Xihe: ... frowning at him. Is he pretending? Or is he pretending?
Yuan Fu saw her staring at him and scratched his head, confused: "Princess?"
Xihe shook his head, looked at the people who were fighting fiercely, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the arrows."
The leader of the Royal Guards immediately presented a bow and arrow. Xihe raised it in front of his eyes, aimed at the man holding the dagger in the middle, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then with a "swish", the arrow left the string.
Puff, the sound of penetration into flesh and blood.
The man slowly turned his head, then fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes staring at the sky.
Yuan Fu was stunned. He looked at Xi He in disbelief and pointed at the man: "He, he, he..."
Xihe stepped forward, grabbed his sleeve, and walked out of the woods: "He is an assassin."
The leader of the Royal Guards watched His Highness's back as he left, then looked at the 'dead' man. His blood was gradually absorbed by the grass, and soon, only a piece of clothing was left hanging on the skeleton.
Everyone's pupils constricted, and their eyes looking at the remaining two people were full of murderous intent.
Half an hour later, at the Flower Festival, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the safe return of the princess, while secretly cursing, "Sure enough, the evil will last for a thousand years." They all came forward to ask questions, especially the noble ladies who were driven away by Xihe. They were even more relieved. If Princess Jinrong had not suddenly attacked and insisted on taking their pavilion, they would have been the ones shot by arrows.
After all, they don't have Jin Rong's skills, nor do they have so many guards to protect them...
