Chapter 26 Too Close...



When she arrived at the princess's residence, Jiang Yuanyi was already a little tired.

The eunuch smiled and called out, "Miss Jiang, we have arrived at Qingyuan Palace."

Jiang Yuanyi lifted the curtain and saw a magnificent palace. In the middle hung a plaque with a vermilion background and peony borders, with a few large gold-plated characters: "Qingyuan Palace."

After entering the door, she saw a spacious courtyard full of flowers and plants. A wooden swing was built on the left. Three or two maids in green clothes smiled and surrounded the swing, carefully watching the girl who was flying in the air. When

Princess Mingyue saw the girl who was so beautiful that she didn't look like a human at the door, she immediately shouted, "Stop! Stop!"

The maids quickly grabbed the swing, and the princess ran over happily like a little bird, stood in front of a girl, and raised her face prettily.

The maids looked up and saw a girl standing at the door in a pink and red dress with overlapping beads. Her black hair was like a waterfall, her lips were like beads, and every part of her facial features was exquisite. When put together, her face was even more eye-catching. Her sparkling peach blossom eyes were shining with a little light, turning the ordinary palace gate into the background of a painting. Standing anywhere, you can be in the painting.

Mingyue looked up at Yuanyi and said with a flat mouth: "I have been waiting for you for a long time." She

was wronged for only a second, and then she immediately laughed again, pulled Jiang Yuanyi to the center of the courtyard, pressed her to sit on the swing next to her, and said coquettishly: "Play with me!"

Jiang Yuanyi couldn't get up again, and swung slowly on the swing by herself.

Mingyue had already swung to the sky. When she turned around and saw Jiang Yuanyi still on the ground, she smiled

and shouted, "Go and push her!" The maid beside her immediately got the order and ran to Jiang Yuanyi's side. She said softly and smiled, "Young lady, please sit down."

Jiang Yuanyi smiled helplessly and was pushed high up. The highest point of the swing jumped out of the palace wall. Jiang Yuanyi could see the roofs of the houses in the distance and the mountains in the sky. The fresh wind came in from the sleeves, brushed across her cheeks, and lifted her hair.

Beside her was a girl who was ignorant of the world, spoiled and willful, but innocent and lovely. She kept raising the corners of her mouth, facing the sun, and laughing sweetly.

Jiang Yuanyi suddenly felt that this huge turn might not be a bad thing.

She felt happier without realizing it, and she started to play with Mingyue and laughed out loud.

This was the scene that the Sixth Prince and Chu Huan saw when they stood at the door. The woman's skirt fluttered, and her bright smile was like the beauty of a short-lived flower. Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Mingyue saw them first and shouted, "Royal brother!"

Mingyue and Liu Yi were both born to the Queen, and they had always had a close relationship.

Mingyue got off the swing and ran to the Sixth Prince. She held his hand affectionately and said mysteriously, "Did you bring the things I asked you to bring for me?"

The Sixth Prince took the cloth bag handed over by the servant beside him and put it in Mingyue's hand: "Take it, but don't let mother find out."

Mingyue agreed quietly and ran to Jiang Yuanyi: "Look, leather bandage."

The princess took the new toy and immediately ran to the side to ask the maids to pick up some small gravel for her. She started to play with it with great interest.

Jiang Yuanyi turned sideways and pretended to look at Mingyue, but she couldn't ignore the two eyes behind her. She felt like a thorn in her back.

She was about to find an excuse to leave when she heard the Sixth Prince say, "Miss Jiang, sit down and have a cup of tea together."

Jiang Yuanyi pinched her palm lightly with her fingertips, walked over with her head slightly lowered, and sat down.

Chu Huan was sitting less than half a step away from her. Even if she didn't look at him, she could still clearly feel his presence. Every breath he took, every tiny movement he made.

Jiang Yuanyi felt her heart tumbling. All the hatred and malice hidden in the dark surged from her heart into her limbs, causing her hand holding the teacup to tremble slightly.

Chu Huan looked at the ripples of the tea in the cup, turned his head to look at her, and said in a gentle tone and clear voice: "Are you feeling unwell, young lady?"

Jiang Yuanyi's hand suddenly stopped, secretly cursing herself for being too impatient. She chuckled and shook her head: "The cup is a little hot."

Mingyue stood on the other side and waved with a smile: "Sister Yuanyi, come here!"

Jiang Yuanyi breathed a sigh of relief, put down the teacup, bowed to them, and turned away.

Chu Huan looked at the girl's graceful figure, and a dark light flashed in his clear eyes.

From the first time they met, she stood up with sharp thorns when facing him. She thought she hid it well, but she didn't know that the disgust she tried her best to hide was still cold and sharp. When she faced Xiao Tuo, she was as soft as a ball of cotton and as bright as light.

The Sixth Prince blew the tea and chuckled, "She seems to be afraid of us."

Chu Huan looked at the Sixth Prince and smiled, "Is that so?"

The two young masters did not stay too long. After a cup of tea, they got up and left.

Jiang Yuanyi also remembered his responsibilities and forced the princess to learn tea art. Mingyue was obviously unwilling. She only wanted to find a playmate who was pleasing to the eye when she appointed Jiang Yuanyi as her nominal tea art master. However, if the emperor really wanted to test the results one day and the princess did not make any progress, Jiang Yuanyi would be held accountable.

Although the princess was reluctant, she listened to Jiang Yuanyi's patient persuasion. It was not

until the afternoon that Jiang Yuanyi came out of the palace. The sun was a little blood red, and it made the palace walls look like a gorgeous morning glow. She covered her eyes and got on the carriage.

When she returned home, she was inevitably asked questions by her family. Jiang Yuanyi patiently answered them one by one. After settling their curiosity and worries, she took advantage of this free time to return to her room to practice medicine.

After Jiang Shi knew that she was self-studying medicine, she scolded her a few times, but did not ask why. She hurried to the most popular pharmacy in the capital to invite a master to teach her. At this time, the master had already arrived. Jiang Yuanyi returned to her room and studied with the master for an hour and a half, and then studied on her own until late at night.

In the early morning, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Tong Yuan's voice came: "Miss, the net has begun to close."

Jiang Yuanyi nodded gently, then blew out the candles in the room and went to bed.

In the dark night, the night wind rose suddenly, blowing away a few dark clouds that were entangled together.

General Ning Yuan's martial arts competition to recruit a bride has been a hot topic in the capital and even the entire Ning'an Kingdom in recent days. Less than ten days after the marriage proposal was posted, warriors from all over the country came.

After the initial test, only 10 warriors were left. Today, the final 10 will be selected to fight with General Ning Yuan.

Many ladies from noble families went to join in the excitement and sat in the wine house next to the arena.

In the backyard of the Jiang family, a slender girl stood straight, pulling a longbow in her hand, and the arrow shot out of the wind and hit the center of the target.

Jiang Yuanyi smiled with relief. After practicing for so many days, she finally hit the target.

The person next to her handed her an arrow feather. Jiang Yuanyi took it and was about to close one of her eyes when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the person's black wrist guard. His fingers were slender with distinct joints, and there was a small black mole at the base of his thumb.

Jiang Yuanyi blushed. The person next to her seemed to know that she had discovered him. He suddenly moved closer and stood behind her, sticking close to her. He reached out and supported Jiang Yuanyi's arm, and his low voice came slowly against her ear bone: "Put your hand like this."

Jiang Yuanyi's hand was a little soft. If she tilted her head slightly, her face would be touched by him.

It's too close...

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I'm 13 minutes late.

I have a lot of things to do today. SORRY.
