"I can do that, too!" He suddenly took a step forward, almost touching Xu Yixing's face. Xu Yixing turned his head quickly, barely avoiding it, but did not move.
She barely smiled, suppressed the urge to hit him, and whispered softly, "Jealousy is a great loss of virtue for a man in my opinion. Please don't offend me."
After saying that, she looked into his eyes with her wavy eyes and saw with her own eyes that the roots of his ears began to turn red and then climbed up to the tips of his ears.
Lu Anyuan felt the warm breath on his neck as she spoke, and his mind was distracted for a moment. Then he saw her victorious look and knew he had been tricked again. He took a big step back and quickly distanced himself from her.
She has always been like this, taking revenge on the spot.
Seeing him retreat, Xu Yixing took advantage of the situation and pursued him, taking a few steps forward and forcing him to stop at the railing at the edge, leaving him with no way to retreat.
He leaned forward slightly and spoke in a softer voice than before, "He is Ying Wu, one of my shadow guards."
Lu Anyuan was even more surprised: "You put the shadow guard in the open?"
"If I don't tell you, no one will know." After saying that, he stepped back and resumed his normal distance.
Lu Anyuan tugged at his collar, pretending to tidy it up, and then the two of them began walking side by side towards the Moon Lake in the backyard as if nothing had happened.
As they approached Yuehu Lake, Xu Yixing could already hear the sound of stringed instruments from there. It seemed that today was really lively.
At this time, Lu Anyuan suddenly said: "Actually, this makeup is very beautiful. You can wear it more often in the future."
Lu Anyuan looked at her makeup again. Although it looked like a monkey's butt when he first saw her, when he was so close to her just now, the two blobs of rouge on her face were particularly attractive, like ripe red apples.
Lu Anyuan had begun to believe that this was indeed Yixing's carefully selected makeup, and not a deliberate attempt to make herself look ugly.
Xu Yixing smiled contemptuously, shook his neck and shook off the jewels and jade on his head, "Of course, you still know the value of things, much better than Siqin."
"By the way, I have a question for you."
"Speaking."
"What does the note you wrote me mean?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Let's listen to the fake one first."
The two of them slowed down their pace and tried to walk as slowly as possible. After all, when they arrived at Yuehu Lake, talking would not be as convenient as it was now.
"I hope you can be at ease. I don't mind what happens in your house."
"How hypocritical! My father, with his brain, actually believed it. He was so grateful to you that he almost praised you in front of the emperor. Is that true?"
Lu Anyuan took a breath, wondering whether he should make up another lie, but when he saw her wise eyes, he told the truth:
"I want you to be obedient and be a good person."
"Am I a prostitute and I want to be a good person?" Xu Yixing rolled his eyes, walked forward quickly, and without looking back, he walked onto the bridge to the pavilion in the center of the lake, directly blocking the men's area to prevent Lu Anyuan from pestering him again.
When he arrived at the pavilion and saw Princess Cheng already seated, Xu Yixing immediately put on a stern expression and bowed respectfully.
"Xu Yiyan from Fuyuan General's Mansion greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Cheng saw someone walking in angrily and was about to check who it was, but when Xu Yixing looked up, she saw the makeup. The princess's face became a little unnatural, and she held back her laughter and quickly excused herself from the formalities.
"Hurry up and get up! You, you are the princess chosen by Yuan'er? As expected, your appearance is different from others." The princess had never seen Xu Yiyan before. When she saw him for the first time today, she took a long time to come up with this word to describe him.
The other ladies present also wanted to laugh, but they were not familiar with Xu Yiyan, so they remained silent.
Xu Yixing didn't notice the adjective. She just wondered why the princess was stuttering today. She was usually the most cheerful person. Oh, maybe she was just feeling unwell!
"Yes, Your Highness, thank you for your kind words." Xu Yixing stood up and responded politely. It can be seen that Princess Cheng was still very satisfied with her.
"Go and get the gift I prepared for the princess!" Princess Cheng lowered her head and called the girl again, whispering a word. The girl left the pavilion and came back after a long time, holding a big box.
Xu Yixing asked Siqin to stop playing, then sat on a chair waiting for the meal to start without saying anything else.
But it's strange that Princess Cheng paid extra attention to me today. She glanced in my direction from time to time, and then touched her face. I don't know what she meant.
It's almost summer now, which shouldn't be the season for ringworm. Could it be that the princess is feeling unwell on her face?
Just as I was wondering, I felt everyone looking towards the shore, wondering what had happened.
Xu Yixing also looked over and saw that the second prince had also arrived, and several brothers were talking to someone.
"Who is that man? Why are all these princes surrounding him?" Princess Cheng even put on reading glasses and rushed to the front line of the excitement.
A maid replied, "It seems that this is a servant brought by a guest. He may have offended His Highness. Are you guys teaching him a lesson?"
"No way! Even if I'm wrong, they shouldn't be surrounding me like this. How can that be considered improper!"
Xu Yixing was holding onto the railing and looking as well, but the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
Oops! Shadow Five!
Oh no, oh no! I was just so busy getting mad at Lu Anyuan that Ying Wu can't even get into the women's area. They must have caught him and he's in trouble. You dare touch my people? Not even the prince!
Xu Yixing strode out of the pavilion, rushed to the shore under the shocked eyes of the ladies, and separated the crowd:
"What are you doing!" She looked like a female general holding a sword.
Princess Cheng was surprised at first, but then a smile spread across her face, her heart filled with satisfaction. As expected of a general's daughter, she possessed a chivalrous spirit. Yuan'er, with her reserved nature and a princess like her, perfectly complemented their strengths.
As soon as Xu Yixing arrived, the originally bustling shore immediately became silent, even the sound of stringed instruments stopped.
She glanced at everyone present, and sure enough, the one surrounded in the middle was Ying Wu. What a shameless bunch of dandies, bullying a servant!
Everyone was present today, and all seven princes looked at her in unison, their eyes somewhat strange. After a long pause, only the Fourth Prince spoke: "Um... this is... where did this Fairy Sister come from? I wonder if we have offended each other in some way?"
Xu Yixing put his hands on his waist and was about to argue, but Lu Anyuan blocked him.
"Fourth brother, this is General Xu's second daughter, Xu Yiyan."
"Oh!" The Fourth Prince opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, and then his expression became complicated.
Lu Anyuan hung three black lines upside down and pulled her to the side a little: "Why are you here?"
"Why are you bullying him?"
"Who bullied him? Didn't your father ask him to come here just to be your shield? If you don't let everyone see you, how can you prove your innocence?"
