Chapter 348 I'll be gentle, don't cry
“Whoosh—”
The arrow shot out from the bow, breaking through the air.
The arrow hit the bull's eye, and the whole audience cheered "good", but the young man holding the bow and shooting the arrow was neither arrogant nor impatient, and his expression was cold.
Duan Baozhu was stunned.
The crown prince was dressed in a black robe, and his waist was slim and strong with a gold and jade belt.
He lowered his brows, took out the arrow again and put the bow on.
As the bowstring was pulled to its full extent, his upright figure stretched out, as mighty as a cheetah and as tall and beautiful as the poplar trees in the northwest.
His profile was sharp, his eyes were cold and calm, and under his straight nose, his thin lips were slightly raised with a hint of youthful spirited smile.
“Whoosh—”
"Another hit! Great!"
Xiao Yundan snorted lightly, and a proud and confident light appeared in his eyes.
He is still very powerful!
Xiao Yundan thought to himself: He is no match for his father now, but he will definitely win once in the future!
"Ah! Who is she?"
"Why are you here alone?"
Hearing the palace people talking, Xiao Yundan's handsome face turned cold, and he turned around to see...
He was stunned for a moment, frowned and strode over: "Why are you here?"
Duan Baozhu was at a loss, her face flushed with anxiety: "I, I will pick the peonies."
Xiao Yundan raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the martial arts training ground, not the imperial garden. You've come to the wrong place."
"Aunt Yinlian brought me here. She was here just now, but she suddenly disappeared."
Duan Baozhu looked around but couldn't find anyone.
Her eyes suddenly turned red and misty, and she lowered her head in grievance: "What should I do... I don't know the way..."
Xiao Yundan sighed: "Why are you crying? I'll take you back."
Duan Baozhu immediately looked at him in surprise, "Really?"
Xiao Yundan stared at the phoenix hairpin on Duan Baozhu's head for a moment. The young man was calm and cool, and nodded slightly: "Are you from Changle Palace?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Let's go." Xiao Yundan handed the bow and arrow to the palace servant and took the lead.
Duan Baozhu happily followed and thanked him sweetly, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Xiao Yundan nodded slightly and said nothing.
Duan Baozhu felt a little guilty. She followed behind, looking up at Xiao Yundan, and felt in her heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was such a good man!
He is really good at archery!
Although there are many powerful uncles and brothers in the Northwest Army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is better than them!
Fortunately...
Duan Baozhu took a quick look, her ears slightly red, and muttered, "She's so pretty!"
"Your Highness, you are sweating. Do you want to wipe it off?"
Duan Baozhu handed over her handkerchief, a pink, fragrant one embroidered with a julibrissin flower.
Xiao Yundan glanced at it and said, "No need."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and casually wiped the thin layer of sweat from his forehead.
Seeing this, Duan Baozhu withdrew her hand uncomfortably. Did he dislike her?
She wiped the sweat off her dad and grandpa's face, and they were very happy!
Her thoughts were all on her face, and Xiao Yundan had no choice but to explain, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I took your handkerchief, and it would be hard to explain if someone saw me."
"Ah? What do you want to explain?"
Duan Baozhu tilted her head, looking innocent and confused.
Xiao Yundan choked for a moment. He was too embarrassed to explain too clearly, so he quickly said, "Didn't your father teach you to have less contact with men outside?"
"Hey! Your Highness, slow down!"
Duan Baozhu ran after him, her hairpins jingling and swaying.
Xiao Yundan had no choice but to stop and wait for her.
Duan Baozhu took a breath, frowned, looked at him sincerely, and opened her mouth: "My father said it! But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a bad person!"
"Even though you knocked me into the lake, I also... beat you up, so we're even. You even explained and apologized, and compensated me. Your Highness, you're a good person!"
For some reason, Xiao Yundan was not happy when he was praised as a good person.
He slowed down his pace and continued walking towards Changle Palace.
"Your Highness, you won't hold a grudge against those who bullied my father, right?"
"...Didn't you say I was a good person? No!"
"Excellent! Thank you, Your Highness!"
Duan Baozhu's mind is all on her face, her eyes are sparkling, and her dimples are sweet and cute when she smiles.
She jumped up and down with joy, looking lively and naive, obviously spoiled and carefree.
Xiao Yundan couldn't help but look at her again.
There are beauties all over the house, but Xiao Yundan has long been tired of beauty and disdains all kinds of beauty.
But Duan Baozhu is different.
She was beautiful and had a charming smile, which made Xiao Yundan want to poke her dimples.
“Ouch! That hurts!”
Duan Baozhu's body suddenly tilted and she was about to fall to the ground.
Xiao Yundan was quick to grab her and hold her in his arms.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know..." Duan Baozhu lowered her head to look at her feet, her voice aggrieved and pitiful: "My feet hurt so much."
"sit down!"
Xiao Yundan put Duan Baozhu on the ground, turned around, and reached out to grab her feet.
"It hurts! It hurts! Your Highness, please be gentle!"
"Don't move!"
Seeing her eyes filled with tears and about to shed tears, Xiao Yundan softened his tone helplessly: "I'll be gentler, don't cry."
"good."
After pulling up her skirt and taking off her socks, Duan Baozhu's ankles were swollen.
Why did you sprain your ankle for no reason?
Xiao Yundan turned his head and found a stone on the ground.
wrong!
It wasn't there just now! Where did it come from?
Xiao Yundan stood up and looked for him, but found that there was no one around. Even the palace maid sweeping the floor and the followers behind him were all gone!
When the wind blew, he and Duan Baozhu were the only ones left in the world.
Perhaps because he had been searching for too long, a head appeared from behind the wall and Yinlian gestured to him.
Wuying also waved his hand.
Subtext - No one will come, come on, Your Highness!
Xiao Yundan laughed angrily.
This insidious trick must have been done by my father!
"Your Highness, what are you laughing at?"
Duan Baozhu climbed up and limped, feeling both pained and aggrieved. "Your Highness, can you help me find my father? I want to go home."
Xiao Yundan felt extremely guilty.
His father is not a human being!
Looking at Duan Baozhu, he sighed and bent over, "Come on! I'll carry you!"
"ah?"
"Your foot is injured, so can I hold you?"
Duan Baozhu came to her senses and quickly refused to be carried back. She chose to carry the baby on her back!
Xiao Yundan is tall, and his shoulders and back already have the strong and sturdy outline of a young man.
He carried Duan Baozhu steadily on his back and comforted her, "Don't worry, I've carried my brothers and sisters before, I won't drop you."
"Well, thank you, Your Highness, you are so kind!"
“…Stop praising me.” Xiao Yundan felt guilty.
The next second, a sweet breath touched his neck.
hiss--
Xiao Yundan froze in place instantly, his pupils trembling, his voice stammering nervously: "You, you smell me...what are you doing?"
"Your Highness, you smell so good!"
Duan Baozhu's voice was innocent and sweet. After praising her directly, she continued to complain: "My father and grandfather are all stinky!"
Duan Baozhu finished speaking and sniffed again: "It smells even better than mine. Your Highness must have used a lot of incense, right?"
Xiao Yundan: “…”
Was he being teased?
"Your Highness, why don't you leave? Can't you carry me?"
"nonsense!"
Xiao Yundan gritted his teeth and took a step forward with a stern face, "Be quiet, don't talk! And don't... smell me again!"
