Situ Jing left Iris Courtyard empty-handed. He looked so regretful at that time that he would probably sit up in shock and slap himself in the face when he was lying in bed at night: Am I sick?
The precious ginseng I got was gone before I could even warm it up!
Before he could feel upset for too long, a servant came to find him and said that the prince had summoned him.
Situ Jing rushed to Xiao Chenyan's study without stopping. As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a sentence:
"Where's the basin?"
Situ Jing: “…” Your Majesty, are you teasing me here?
The smile he forced out was uglier than crying: "The princess left behind."
Xiao Chenyan's hand holding the pen froze for a moment, and he looked up at her: "Did you bring someone to find her?"
"Your humble servant... I just want to ask how the princess should take care of herself... hehe... hehe..." Situ Jing laughed dryly.
Xiao Chenyan stared at him expressionlessly, and Situ Jing felt frightened by his stare.
"What did she say?"
"The princess said...Your Majesty, you are very smart." Situ Jing laughed dryly and gave a thumbs up.
Xiao Chenyan could already imagine Qing Wu's gritting teeth tone.
"Since you like growing hyacinths so much, then take care of all the hyacinths in the palace."
Xiao Chenyan said word by word: "When you are done, you can rest."
Situ Jing couldn't take it anymore after hearing that. "Your Highness! Xiao Chenyan! You are going too far. I am not only your subordinate but also your friend. Do you still want me as your friend?"
The man said in a calm tone: "Then don't collect your salary next month. We are still friends."
Situ Jing said sternly: "I am your most loyal subordinate, Your Majesty, and I will do my best to help you!"
After saying that, he turned around, picked up his robe and ran as fast as he could, avoiding the scroll thrown from behind. However, he tripped over the threshold and fell flat on his face.
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
"Ah... my mouth... is broken and bleeding... it's bleeding. Why am I so unlucky? Wuwuwu——"
Situ Jing howled so loudly that it shook the earth.
I was stung by a wasp yesterday and my mouth was broken while running today. How can I live like this?
Xiao Chenyan didn't even bother to look at this guy and walked out. Situ Jing stretched out his hand aggrievedly, thinking that Xiao Chenyan was here to help him, but the man didn't even look at him and walked away.
Situ Jing: Damn it, so ruthless!
Half an incense stick later, Xiao Chenyan stood outside the Iris Courtyard, looking at the closed door, his thin lips pursed even tighter.
The sun hasn't set yet, but the gate to the yard is closed, and it's obvious that the gate is closed to visitors.
As for who to thank, it is also obvious.
Xiao Chenyan took a deep breath, turned his head and felt really confused.
He took off the Buddhist beads from his wrist and twisted them gently. This was his habit. When he needed to calm down and think about something, he would subconsciously move his fingertips and touch the document hidden in his sleeve.
He burned the previous document, and for some unknown reason he wrote a new one.
Xiao Chenyan frowned and put the Buddhist beads back on his wrist.
He didn't know why he was angry with her. After all, he and she were just in a cooperative relationship. What did it have to do with him if she was being rude to someone else?
In the yard, Qing Wu replanted the ginseng spirit in the yard. After being locked in the pot for a few days, the ginseng spirit now fully realized that the woman in front of it is not only someone who should not be provoked, but also a thick thigh that must be held tightly.
When Qing Wu was buried in the soil, its leaves kept rubbing against Qing Wu's hands, and it was acting unrestrained and coquettish.
"Be quiet!" Qing Wu slapped its leaves.
The ginseng essence shrank a little, and then became more excited.
Qing Wu: "..." Weren't you afraid of being stewed before? What's wrong now?
She didn't want to hit him anymore, for she was afraid that if she hit him again, he would get too excited.
Although there was only a door between them, Qing Wu could still feel someone coming back.
Squeak.
The man froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect the door to open suddenly. He naturally withdrew his hand, but was grabbed by someone.
As expected, I met those playful and lively black eyes.
"I was wondering who was sneaking around outside the door, it turns out to be the prince."
Xiao Chenyan was calm and composed: "I am in my own house, why should I be sneaky?"
"Maybe I saw it wrong," Qing Wu blinked, "Are you here to see me?"
"No." Xiao Chenyan glanced and saw the ginseng that had been planted in the yard. He pursed his lips, but heard Qing Wu exclaim.
"What is hidden in the prince's sleeve?" She pretended to take it out. Xiao Chenyan tried to pull his hand away, but she held his arm tightly.
"Yun Qingwu." He scolded her in a low voice. When he met her eyes, he felt as if he was seen through. His disordered breath sank in his lungs, and his tone became more helpless: "Why are you being a rogue?"
"You are the one who is being shameless." Qing Wu pursed her lips, "You don't acknowledge the written agreement, Xiao Chenyan, a real man will be punished if he tells a lie."
A sudden sentence hits my heart and stirs up my memories.
Xiao Chenyan frowned, feeling dazed for a moment. These words sounded so familiar.
Just when he was distracted, the thing hidden in his sleeve was taken out by Qing Wu.
Looking at the document in her hand, Qing Wu smiled proudly, holding it between her fingertips and shaking it: "Hey, what is this? Didn't you say you were coming to see me?"
Qing Wu said this, pressing forward step by step.
She took a step forward and Xiao Chenyan took a step back.
Until they retreated under a big tree outside the yard, just as she stretched out her hand and was about to take further action.
Xiao Chenyan grabbed her wrist, and the two switched positions, attacking and defending in different positions. Qing Wu leaned her back against the tree, one hand was pressed down on her head by the high pressure, and the other hand was also grabbed and pressed up as soon as it was raised.
Due to the huge difference in height and body shape, his tall figure completely enveloped her, his eyes were fixated on her obscurely, his auspicious phoenix eyes were like an endless black sea, even the raging waves were hidden beneath the calm.
His thin lips were close to her ear, and his voice was hoarse but cold: "Is the cat and mouse game fun?"
Qing Wu's ears were tickled by his breath and she felt something was wrong. She wanted to see his expression clearly, but if she turned her head, the distance between them would be even more dangerous.
Her neck didn't move, her voice was innocent but couldn't hide her smile: "Then your Highness, do you think you are a cat or a mouse?"
Xiao Chenyan's hands were large and powerful. Upon hearing that, he simply clasped her wrists with one hand, and freed up his other hand to slowly lower it to her snow-white neck, seeming to tease it or pinch it.
Ambiguous and dangerous.
