You just bully me, right?
"Um."
Jiang Jingyuan responded casually, and then his breathing became steady, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Jingjian looked at her in silence, not understanding how this child could be so indifferent to everything and lack even the most basic curiosity.
…………
Three days later, at noon.
The weather is still cold, and even a small breeze can make people so cold that they curl up their fingers.
"Hey hey hey, hurry up and go!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang Jingjian looked suspiciously at Jiang Jingzong, who was jumping up and down beside him, and said strangely, "Miss Lin has to chat with your mother before entering the palace. Why are you in such a hurry to go there?
Besides, if you really can’t wait, why not just go to your mother and see her?
Why would you come to us first?"
After these words were spoken, Jiang Jingyuan also turned his eyes to look at Jiang Jingzong.
Jiang Jingzong's expression froze, and he slowed down his pace. His eyes wandered for a moment, then he pretended to look straight at Jiang Jingjian and said, "I'm just curious. Besides, I saw Jiang Jinghui on the way to find you. He's already gone, so we shouldn't fall behind..."
He straightened his back and looked Jiang Jingjian's eyes firmly, as if he wanted to prove the truth of his words with his actions.
But the next second...
He couldn't help but turn his eyes away, and his wandering gaze fell on the gray-white stone brick road beside him, carefully admiring the carved patterns on the stone bricks.
Jiang Jingjian: “…”
Jiang Jingyuan: "..."
Do you know that you look even more guilty like this?! ! !
After moving his lips a few times, Jiang Jingjian finally revealed a complicated expression that was hard to describe. Without saying anything, he walked silently to Jiang Jingyuan's side, blocking Jiang Jingyuan's view of Jiang Jingzong.
Jiang Jingzong turned around and saw him standing between the two of them. He was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed red when he realized what was happening. He instantly jumped up, clawed at Jiang Jingjian with both hands, and screamed, "You, you, you, what do you mean?! Get out of my way!"
"What do you mean? That's what I mean." Jiang Jingjian pulled Jiang Jingyuan aside, glanced at him with disdain, and said, "Big Brother is right. You are crazy. Don't lead Jiang Jingyuan astray."
Jiang Jingzong's eyes widened in anger: "Xiao Yuan and I were having such a good time together, it's you two who are ruining my image!"
He couldn't catch Jiang Jingjian, so he had to look at Jiang Jingyuan behind him and asked, "Right, Xiaoyuan?"
"Alright, alright, let's go. Aren't you anxious?" Jiang Jingjian mercilessly pushed his head back and said with a look of disgust.
Jiang Jingzong snorted twice, but didn't argue with him. He just glared at him, then turned his head away and muttered softly, "Don't say anything nonsense to me later."
Jiang Jingjian: “……?”
Jiang Jingyuan: "!!!"
ah? ? !
The two of them looked dazed.
Perhaps the two gazes on the back of his head were too intense, Jiang Jingzong turned around abruptly, his beautiful features slightly distorted, his teeth bared, and he grumbled in a rather exasperated manner, "What are those looks? What are you two looking at?! Stop looking, stop looking! Hurry up and leave!"
After saying that, he angrily flicked his sleeves and ran away, but he controlled himself to always stay not far ahead of them, not running too far, nor letting them catch up. He hummed all the way as if to express his dissatisfaction.
Jiang Jingjian and Jiang Jingyuan, who fell behind, looked at each other silently, followed slowly behind, and looked at the bright purple figure in front of them with amusement in their hearts.
The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and its warm rays of light were scattered all over the flowers and plants. When the wind blew, it blew up three or two butterflies on the flowers, which danced up and down, and then flapped their wings leisurely to fly into the distance.
In the midst of tender green, three figures walked slowly, one in purple and two in white, their light sleeves and hems fluttering in the wind.
for a long time--
"Um?!"
"Brother, why are you here later than us?"
The three of them had been waiting in the small pavilion for a long time, and finally saw a tall figure walking towards them from afar.
The golden sunlight blurred the figure's features as they approached, their light-colored robes illuminating the room with a dazzling white. As the figure drew closer, everyone was surprised to discover it was Jiang Jingsui.
Jiang Jinghui, dressed in a light blue robe, stepped into the pavilion and glanced around at the three people inside. Hearing Jiang Jingjian's question, he asked curiously, "Why am I here so early? I'm afraid Miss Liu is still talking in Concubine Le's palace."
Hearing this, Jiang Jingyuan and Jiang Jingjian turned around to look at Jiang Jingzong, one with a calm expression, while the other raised his eyebrows as if questioning.
Jiang Jingjian put away the expression that flashed across his face for a moment, turned his head back, looked at Jiang Jingsui who looked puzzled, and explained: "Jiang Jingzong said that you went out early in the morning."
He paused and added, "He even came all the way here early in the morning to wake me and Jiang Jingyuan up!"
When Jiang Jingzong heard his words, a trace of guilt flashed across his face. He really didn't think that Jiang Jinghui went out early in the morning to greet someone, but didn't he say that to urge Jiang Jingjian and Jiang Jingyuan!
Thinking about it, he raised his head in a pretentious manner and said stubbornly: "That's right, I saw my eldest brother on the way to find you two!"
"I went to the library." Jiang Jinghui shook the book in his hand helplessly, sighed, and said, "It's not too late for me to come now. What are you in such a hurry for..."
“Hey, okay, it’s my fault…eh?!”
As he spoke, Jiang Jingzong turned his eyes and accidentally caught a glimpse of two figures walking from a distance in the sunlight.
His expression froze, and he paused. He quickly turned his head to look around, and finally pulled the silent Jiang Jingyuan in front of him, then hid behind Jiang Jingyuan, hunched his waist, and a pair of silver-gray eyes appeared from behind Jiang Jingyuan's head. He looked nervously at one of the roughly peach-colored figures walking towards the pavilion.
Jiang Jingyuan, who was inexplicably dragged in as a shield, remained expressionless, but in fact, a question "?" had already slowly emerged in his mind.
He raised his hand, about to touch Jiang Jingyuan's head, but found that there was no one beside him. Jiang Jingjian looked up at the inexplicable scene in front of him, forgetting to put his hand down, with a dull look on his face: "???"
"You..." Jiang Jinghui was also stunned. A rare look of confusion appeared on his usually gentle and calm face. He felt his mind was blank. With his mouth slightly open, he said hesitantly, "H-Have you finally gone crazy? What are you doing...?"
Jiang Jingzong did not give any explanation for this strange scene, and he did not even glance at the two of them.
As if he had seen some terrifying existence, his eyes were fixed on the corner of the pink sleeve exposed behind Jiang Jingbai. He closed his eyes tightly in panic as if trying to cover his ears and steal a bell, and hid himself even tighter behind Jiang Jingyuan.
Jiang Jinghui was stunned and subconsciously took a few steps to the side, then turned sideways to look behind him.
In the small pavilion in the shade, two figures, one in front and one behind, were walking against the light, bathed in warm sunshine.
The girl walking in front was wearing a long dress with peach pink accents and warm white, and a warm white gauze shawl. In one hand, she held a peach pink embroidered handkerchief to her mouth. As she walked, her white hands swayed, and the peach pink handkerchief swayed back and forth.
She walked into the pavilion leisurely, and was met with the expressionless Jiang Jingyuan who was blocked by Jiang Jingzong. She put down her handkerchief and saluted, her voice soft and sweet:
"Liu Jingyu of the Liu family greets His Highness Jing Yuan."
From under her tied bun, a mass of black hair cascaded down behind her head, with one of the thin braids floating down in front of her as she lowered her head.
She raised her head, her eyes smiling, like gentle water flowing quietly in a small pond.
When Liu Jingyu raised her head, she glanced around casually, a smile on her lips, and bowed to Jiang Jingbai and Jiang Jingjian one by one.
After a pause, her eyes moved, and when she turned to Jiang Jingzong who was hiding behind Jiang Jingyuan, she gently covered her lips with the handkerchief in her hand. The smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious, and her voice became more gentle, sweeter than all the honey in the world: "Fourth Prince, what are you...
"Are you not welcome?"
As she spoke, her eyes curved and she smiled sweetly at Jiang Jingzong.
“No no no no!”
“That’s not what I meant!!!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingzong's face paled with fear, his head shaking like a rattle, and his hands tightened their grip on Jiang Jingyuan's shoulders, who was blocking his way. He tried to retreat, but Jiang Jingyuan, who was holding him, remained motionless. He couldn't let go, nor could he pull her away. After a flustered moment, he remained where he was.
With a crisp "pa" sound, Jiang Jingjian, who heard the sound, ruthlessly knocked off one of his claws that was grabbing Jiang Jingyuan's shoulder, and then tore off his other claw. He picked up Jiang Jingyuan and protected him to the side, glaring at the helpless Jiang Jingzong.
Jiang Jingzong looked at Liu Jingyu standing in front of him and felt like the sky was falling. He squinted his eyes and kept winking at Jiang Jingbai who was standing in front of him.
Jiang Jingsui: “…”
Jiang Jinghui smiled slightly, pretending not to see it, and walked around to Jiang Jingyuan's side, sitting down with Jiang Jingjian and Jiang Jingyuan.
The palace maid who came here with Liu Jingyu silently placed the plates of exquisite pastries in the box in her hand on the stone table, and then quietly retreated.
The three of them sat on the bench, making tea or eating cakes, looking at the river view in the center of the pavilion with great interest.
Jiang Jingzong: “!!!”
These villains! They totally disregarded the years of friendship between them!
Just when he felt dizzy, Liu Jingyu in front of him attacked again -
The girl, dressed in a pretty pink dress, looked heartbroken. She took a step back in disbelief, her eyes slightly widening, with broken stars flickering in them. She said, "So that's how it is... So, His Highness the Fourth Prince hates me so much..."
Her sweet voice trembled slightly, and it was heartbreaking to hear others.
Including river view.
He didn't know what others were thinking, but Jiang Jingzong's heart was truly shattered into pieces. He knew that if he didn't come up with a reason to stop Liu Jingyu from complaining, he would definitely be scolded when he got home.
He glanced at the three people watching the show next to him with heartache.
Who would have thought.
He had thought that by calling these three people, one of them would be able to protect him from the storm. But to his surprise, these three people all stood by and watched him being persecuted by the pink devil.
Jiang Jingzong forced a twisted smile and said, "How could that be? I heard you were coming today, so I've been waiting here since early morning. I was just playing with Jiang Jingyuan just now, and I didn't react when I saw you!"
"Really?" Liu Jingyu's eyes sparkled with tears, and she was about to cry. She looked up at him slightly and asked happily, "Your Highness, please don't force yourself. If you really hate me that much, I will go and talk to Concubine Le. I'll leave the palace, but please don't make things difficult for Your Highness."
"No, barely..."
Jiang Jingzong gave an awkward yet polite smile.
Seeing that she was about to speak again, Jiang Jingzong's eyelids jumped, and he quickly stepped aside to let her into the pavilion and sit down, saying, "Come quickly, come quickly, we are still waiting to hear about what you have seen and heard during your travels over the past two years!"
He immediately locked eyes with one person and said, "Jiang Jingyuan is looking forward to it, right?!"
Jiang Jingyuan: "...?"
You're bullying me because I can't speak, right?
