The cold voice made the woman's heart tremble, she clenched her palms tightly, turned around like this, and was about to walk away, but her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and the whole person was suddenly pulled into a familiar embrace.
"You are better than your father at playing tricks." His eyes were cold.
Looking at each other, Liu Yin inexplicably felt a sore nose, and his eyes also dodged around, "I... I won't talk about the big brother anymore..."
Looking at the dodging little face in front of him, the man was sullen, "Is this what you want to tell Gu?"
She is well versed in this matter in the palace.
Lowering her head, Liu Yin didn't speak. Compared with the first exposure, the other party's directness now made her more flustered, and she hesitated, "Your Highness... has always... always been in my heart."
"Really?" His eyes became colder.
Liu Yin didn't dare to stay any longer, just when she was about to free the hand between her wrists, her jaw was suddenly pinched, her pink lips were suddenly blocked by someone, her back was pressed against the table, and all her breath was taken away in an instant .
"Hmm... Your Highness... Your Highness..." Her eyes turned red instantly.
The man brutally ran over every inch of her Wen Tian, holding the back of her neck tightly with his big hands, and spraying heavy breath on her neck, for a while, he frowned and met those panicked eyes with a slightly gloomy expression.
"go out."
With red eyes, Liu Yin quickly got down from his arms, and immediately ran out of the study, even forgetting to close the door.
Sweeping the figure leaving in a hurry, the man raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, with a tired look on his face.
All the way back to Tingyu Pavilion, Liu Yin immediately shut himself in the room, staring at the sycamore tree outside the window in a daze, tears streaming down his face for no reason, not knowing what he was thinking.
From the day she married into the East Palace, she thought that as long as she could live well, it was enough, but it was just a physical marriage. Anyway, the prince hated her so much, and she always thought that the other party was playing tricks and fell in love with a future emperor. Things that Liu Yin wouldn't even dare to think about, unless she was crazy.
Even now, she doesn't dare to think about this question, but why is she so confused.
"Miss, madam is here."
Suddenly, Xiyun's voice came from outside the house. Hearing this, Liu Yin was shocked immediately, took a few deep breaths, and said to the people outside: "Let my mother in quickly."
Her mother would never take the initiative to come to the East Palace to find her, this time Liu Yin could also think that it might be because of her elder brother.
As the door was pushed open, I saw a middle-aged woman in a brown auspicious pattern walking into the house. Even though she wore white silk on her temples, she could vaguely see that she was beautiful and graceful when she was young. At that moment, he immediately bowed and saluted, "The minister's wife has seen the crown princess."
Seeing this, Liu Yin immediately winked at Xiyun, who lowered his head and slowly closed the door, leaving only two people in the room.
Immediately, she hurried over to greet her, "Why don't people say anything when my mother comes here."
Slowly came to the soft couch and sat down, Mrs. Zhang looked at her helplessly, "I just came out from your aunt's place, and I was afraid that you would worry about your elder brother, so I came over to have a look."
"How about big brother?" Liu Yin suddenly became nervous.
Although there are no luxurious furnishings in the huge sleeping hall, every place is extremely exquisite. Thinking of the spring mountain map that my daughter got from the prince a few days ago, it can be seen that this girl has not been wronged in the East Palace, which also makes Zhang feel relieved. tone.
"You don't have to worry about this. Your father is in Dali Temple, and your brother will be fine. If Prime Minister Lu really wants to label your brother dirty, it won't be so easy."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang suddenly held her hand with a smile, "It is thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince that you are in court today, otherwise your eldest brother may not be as simple as being taken to Dali Temple for investigation. Leave it to His Highness to handle it, as long as His Highness doesn't let go, the Lu family will have nothing to do with your brother."
Hearing this, Liu Yin's eyes were a little evasive, and she couldn't help taking a sip of the tea at the side. Since the prince helped, why did she say that before? She really thought that her elder brother was in danger this time.
"Now the emperor's intention to suppress the Liu family is clearly revealed. Now we can only rely on His Highness the Crown Prince. Although His Highness's attitude towards your father has improved, his thoughts are still unpredictable. Don't worry about other things now. The most important thing is to have an heir, so that your position can be considered stable."
Mrs. Zhang finished speaking solemnly, then suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously: "By the way, did side concubine Lu trip you up?"
No one knows her daughter's temperament better than her. If it weren't for the empress watching over her, she would really be worried about sending her daughter to the palace.
Speaking of this, Liu Yin just blinked, and took a bite of the pastry on the table, "Well... I heard that she is not in good health recently, and it seems that she often asks for a doctor. I suspect that it was my aunt who did it, but Madam Liu I don't admit it, but I don't care about these things, she almost teased me a few days ago, if it wasn't for Mammy Liu's sharp eyes, I'm afraid I'd be barren in my life."
It is said that even a flower in this palace has thorns, and it is true, if there are more in the future, wouldn't she become the target of other people's superiors every day.
"There is such a thing? It's really unreasonable!" Mrs. Zhang frowned and slapped her palm on the table with anger on her face, "The Lu family is simply deceiving people too much. Even if our Liu family is no better than before, we can't tolerate it. like bullying!"
Naturally, she could guess that the empress was responsible for the Lu side concubine's affairs, but this was also a warning to the Lu family, to actually use such a vicious method, she really deceived her that there was no one in the Liu family!
Knowing that her mother would be angry, Liu Yin immediately grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "I'm fine, and there is Mother Liu here, by the way, did Daddy say who did the assassination this time? "
So far she has not thought about who is going to kill herself, it is really hard to guard against.
At this point, Mrs. Zhang just glanced back, then frowned and said: "You don't have to worry about these things, your father will handle the affairs of the court. Now you just need to give birth to your highness's heir earlier, then I will have a dream with your father." Will wake up laughing."
Liu Yin: "..."
She knew it would be like this, even the queen, everyone was staring at her belly!
Although she knew she didn't like to hear it, Mrs. Zhang kept on talking about it for half an hour, and said that if there was no movement in another month, she would find a prescription for her pregnancy.
After finally sending her mother away, Liu Yin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had never thought of a possibility, what if she gave birth to a daughter
Moreover, the prince is still angry with her now, and this time she feels that she can't coax him well.
I don't know when it started to rain lightly outside the house, and Liu Yin's heart was very heavy. Before she was exposed, she could continue to be her princess, but now she felt as if she had been stripped of Liu Yin's identity. I don't know how to face that prince.
Until Liu Mama came in with another bowl of soup, she still honestly drank it all in one gulp, perhaps because she was absent-minded, she couldn't taste the soup at all.
"Have you lost your temper with His Highness again?"
The sharp-eyed Nanny Liu could tell that something was wrong with her at a glance, Liu Yin seemed to be seen through, she turned her head away from the whole person, leaning on the soft couch to read a book, and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't, obviously His Highness gave birth to me I was so angry that I tried to coax him, but he kicked me out."
In the past, every time she said something nice, she would be fine, but this time, for some reason, she suddenly couldn't say it, and always felt a little guilty, probably because she was speaking against her conscience.
"Forgive me for talking too much, since I came back from Xishan yesterday, His Highness has never rested, so you have never thought of caring about it?" Liu Mama sighed, not knowing whether to say that this little ancestor is heartless or what.
Tightening her palms, Liu Yin's expression changed slightly. She asked the other party earlier, and he said that he had a rest last night. So he has been busy until now
"The old servant also watched His Highness grow up. His Highness has always been introverted. Even if he is not very close to the empress, it can only be regarded as respect, but he is really tolerant to you. There are many things that the old servant is inconvenient to say. , but you should also think about it yourself, in fact, this old slave has never felt that you like His Highness, but it has never been easy to say, at least in the eyes of this old slave, His Highness has never treated you badly."
Grandma Liu has always wanted to say these words, but she used to watch the princess chasing after her Highness, but recently she realized that this is not the case. The real love is in the heart, not in the mouth It's just talking, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't say anything, he always thinks about the Crown Princess. Every time after the intercourse, he worries about the Crown Princess' discomfort, and asks her to pay attention to it in private, for fear that the Crown Princess will not say anything.
The drizzle outside the house fell to the window sill, Liu Yin hung her head and did not speak, but her heart was in a mess. Now that I think about it, I seem to have been asking for help from others, but I have never only spoken nice words , that prince must also be able to hear that he is not sincere.
Then why does he still treat himself so well
Nanny Liu sighed softly, turned around and walked out of the house. There are some things that slaves like them can't get involved in.
"Wait a moment."
After her footsteps stopped, Nanny Liu immediately looked back, only to see the person on the soft couch jumping down suddenly, while taking a cloak from the closet, "You and I go to the kitchen."
After being stunned for a moment, Mammy Liu opened the door for her with a smile, and hurriedly asked Xiyun to get an umbrella. Although the princess doesn't know how to cook, it's kind of nice to go through the motions.
Liu Yin remembered that the crown prince seemed to like to eat green vegetables. Of course, she didn't know how to make complicated dishes. When she came to the kitchen, the palace people were shocked when they saw her. Liu Yin immediately asked them to make room for herself. Come.
Liu Mama still wanted to give her some advice, but found that the princess seemed to know how to cook, but the cooking was a bit like those farm dishes, there were no complicated procedures, and a small dish looked good.
I haven't cooked for a long time, and I don't know how it tastes. Liu Yin is not afraid of people suspecting that she can cook. Anyway, compared to those chefs in the palace, she is not as good at the table.
Carrying the food box, she came outside the study with some trepidation. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little timid looking at the closed door. She stood alone in the drizzle with an umbrella, with a complicated expression on her face.
Seeing the people outside the courtyard, Xiao Luzi's eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed over in the rain, "Is the Crown Princess here to deliver meals to His Highness?"
His Highness is in a bad mood today, he can naturally feel it.
As the sky was getting dark, Liu Yin opened his mouth, with hesitation on his face, and finally passed the food box slowly, "It's better...you send it in."
She always thought she was very brave, but now it seems that she thinks highly of herself.
"This..." Xiao Luzi didn't know what she meant, so he slowly turned his body, "You should send it in by yourself, the servant will send it... Naturally, it doesn't mean that."
Glancing at her, Liu Yin took a deep breath, and still took small steps to the front of the study, where candles were already burning, she raised her hand to cover the door, paused, and then slowly pushed it open.
The room was very quiet, the man was still sitting in front of the desk piled with official documents, his angular outline showed no emotion, thinking that the other party hadn't rested all day and night, Liu Yin felt a little guilty, she should have persuaded the other party to take a rest earlier.
After closing the door, she put the food box on the round table and walked to the desk step by step. The other party must know that she was coming.
"Brother Prince..."
She called out softly, followed his footsteps and walked up and down behind him with a strange expression, "I know I shouldn't just think about the Liu family, but I'm just too worried today."
The man didn't seem to notice her coming, he was still reviewing the official document with a pen, his expression indifferent.
"I admit that I have misunderstood you all the time. It was because you hated me so much before, so I thought you were nice to me only because of my aunt."
It seems that there is no need to respond, she walked around there alone with a blushing face, lowered her head and said in a soft voice, "I always thought that Dad and the others were the most important, but..."
"But... I found that the prince brother seems to be in my heart all the time."
A soft female voice sounded in the quiet study room, Liu Yin didn't dare to look up, and muttered to herself, "I don't want His Highness to have other concubines, even if I know these are just my delusions, so I can only pretend The appearance of not caring, I gradually thought that I really didn't care, I don't know what kind of feeling it is, I only know that when I see His Highness going back to save the father, I will be worried, I don't want you to have an accident, but I tell you I'm just acting on occasion, I can't take it seriously."
As she spoke, she glanced at the man who had been silent all this time, and her expression gradually became serious, "Although the Liu family is important, I will consider His Highness equally important in the future."
When she didn't get a response, she lowered her head in frustration, "The dishes on the table are made by myself. Although the taste is not very good, Your Highness... let's just eat it."
After finishing speaking, she stared at her feet and walked out of the house step by step, until her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and her whole body suddenly fell into a familiar embrace. She lowered her head and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
"Look at Gu and say it again." His voice was low.
Biting her lower lip, she slowly raised her head, and suddenly met a pair of bottomless black eyes, her whole face flushed, "I... I like Brother Prince."
As they looked at each other, Qin Yan's eyes dimmed, and he held the back of her neck with his big hand, with an almost invisible curve on his lips, "Slick tongue."
Feeling the tightness of the hand around her waist, she blinked, and slowly stretched out her hand to hug the man's arm, then raised her little head, and said softly, "Then... does the prince brother like me?"
