Yu Ye sometimes doesn't quite understand what Xu Jiao means.
But judging from her intelligence and her countless experiences in reading people, after a little pondering, she can easily guess that this little highness is a little narcissistic, and seems to take his joke that terrified her that day seriously. I remembered this when I had nothing to do, and I was very careful about myself.
She was just an unknown little princess before, but now that she is the dignified and dignified prince, she naturally cannot tease her with words like before. She felt that Xu Jiao was even more useless.
Using the candlelight in the inner hall, Yu Ye stood in front of Xu Jiao's bed for a long time before leaving.
Before leaving, she did not forget to wave her sleeves to extinguish all the lights and candles in the corner.
When the figure left and the light in the room dimmed, Xu Jiao opened her eyes and took a look outside. Maybe it started from Lilith's world. The other party's too open nature made her used to being entangled, and she suddenly saw this guy. With such rules, she was a little uncomfortable.
But fortunately, she's not too lustful, and it's not bad to be able to spend the world in such an orderly manner-
She put her arms behind her head and stared at the curtains on the top of the bed. Thinking of the appearance of Mr. Yu who did not touch any chopsticks during the day, she wondered how to think of a way to make up for her in the next few days.
In the quiet atmosphere, the system couldn't hold back its voice: "You now... seem to be very concerned about the heroine?"
Xu Jiao nodded: "Treat her coldly or ignore her, it's easy to have a tragic ending, and it's easy to make her black and lead to strange plots such as captivity, bondage, etc., then why can't I treat her better? This way, even if she has a deep-rooted love for me in the end, I can choose a way and a posture that makes me more comfortable, right?"
system:"… "
It heard the rushing yellow.
Perhaps it was because she was shocked by Xu Jiao's change, she didn't continue to speak, and Xu Jiao wanted to fall asleep thinking about it all by herself.
…
Early next morning.
The summer wind penetrated into the house through the window, and it was already a little dry in the early morning. Xu Jiao was awakened by the close servants, and she heard Gong Er whispering to ask if she wanted to put an ice basin in the house. Cool down.
After all, Xu Jiao is a woman. She is not as strong as a man. She is only fifteen years old, but she is not as tall as some of the thirteenth and fourteenth servants in the palace. At first glance, her body is weak. He was instructed by Yu Ye to use the best balm to serve him after taking a bath. It is also beneficial to eat a lot of food on weekdays, but this kind of nourishment can not be seen in three or five days, and it has to be seen over many years.
Therefore, some of them are not quite able to decide whether to put some cooling things in the house.
Xu Jiao was wearing a coat of normal clothes, reaching out and waiting for someone to take care of her collar and sleeves. Just as she was about to say let me have some ice, she heard a slightly cold voice from outside the room:
"It hasn't even reached the dog days, what kind of ice basin is there? Your Highness is studying and studying in the house now, and there are people palming fans around, so you won't suffer from heat stroke like this. If it's really hot, the clothing bureau will change your clothes to lighter and breathable materials. That's it."
Hearing this voice, the servants around Xu Jiao all bowed their heads in promise, although everyone knew that Yu Ye was the one who had real power and could hold the prince in his hands, but after all, in Xu Jiao's life In front of them, they couldn't directly respond to Yu Ye, so they could only lower their heads and wait for Xu Jiao's orders.
Xu Jiao's expression was very calm, but she was not like some little beasts who couldn't wait to show their minions as soon as they encountered power. They sang to Yu Ye, just smiled, and responded:
"What Master Yu said is very true."
"I heard that a few days ago, there was a flood in a county in the south. The Ministry of Household appealed that in addition to the state treasury as aid, those officials in the DPRK and China who have spare capacity should also contribute to fundraising. , I will exchange my ice case for this month with silver money and donate it to the Ministry of Household for disaster relief."
She has already said this, and everyone else thought that Yu Ye should be satisfied. Who knew that the other party took a step into the room, and the figure blocked a little sunlight, making the room darkened by two points.
Xuanyi always had a chilling meaning, and with this step, it was as if the king of hell had come to take his life. Xu Jiao could easily hear the light breathing of the people around her, and felt their lower heads.
At that time, her clothes had already been changed, Xu Jiao met Yu Ye's gaze, and inadvertently traced her facial features from the corner of her eye, thinking that this person is so beautiful, so temperamental, and even has a sense of righteousness. , why is it so scary
At this moment, the person Xu Jiao looked at spoke up.
"Your Highness doesn't have to."
"The disaster relief has been properly arranged by the imperial court, and Dayan is not so poor that even the prince has to shrink his clothes and diet to survive."
Xu Jiao raised her brows slightly.
She said in a slightly distressed tone: "Master Yu is really hard to please."
It's really a woman's heart needle.
Yu Ye looked at her deeply, and his expression did not seem to be kind: "His Royal Highness, as a prince, will inherit the great lineage in the future, and he is the most honorable person in the world, why should he be flattering to anyone? The word "to please", if this word spreads, it will make people feel that the minister is relying on the royal family to make a hundred officials."
Xu Jiao just wanted to laugh.
So hypocritical.
He had already done the slaughter of the Xu clan, and even made himself the crown prince according to his will. Everyone in the palace listened to her and looked at her face. He was a veritable regent. Instead, let yourself show the appearance that a prince should have.
Xu Jiao thought, if she really showed her sharp edge, maybe she would feel that her wolf ambitions and plans are not small, and she would be the first to destroy herself.
She understands a little why others say "accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger", and staying by the side of people with real power is really like trying to survive. It is wrong to go further and take a step back. She can only keep racking her brains thinking about compromise way of doing.
She took another look at Yu Ye seriously.
This person is consuming the favorability accumulated by the heroines of the previous worlds with Xu Jiao.
When Xu Jiao confirms that she really can't remember anything, or when she loses all her favorability, it will be the same as when the two met in the first world again.
Xu Jiao's eyes would no longer be on her.
Yu Ye Xu had an intuition that something was about to change, but he couldn't catch it for a while, so he hesitated, and the final output was just asking the person in front of him:
"Why does Your Highness look at the minister like this?"
There was a faint smile on Xu Jiao's brows, like the clouds in the sky, any gust of wind could wipe away these traces, and even the tone was very casual:
"Master Yu is naturally beautiful."
It means that I will stare at you when you look good.
But when her words came out, the palace people in the palace knelt on the ground tremblingly, as if the king of hell had been urged to put the knife on his neck, Yu Ye's lips slowly opened an arc, as if he was gradually being accused The pointed bow has a beautiful arc, and it also contains deadly murderous intent and danger.
She said softly, "Thanks for the praise, Your Highness."
Xu Jiao turned a blind eye to the palace people who were kneeling on the ground. Seeing that Yu Ye had no other intentions, she went to the breakfast table next to her, leaving Yu Ye to stare at her back for a while, and withdrew the smile on her lips. , I was wondering whether Xu Jiao's words were scornful of herself or unintentional.
Before she could think for a long time, Xu Jiao's voice came from behind the curtains decorated in the hall: "Today is a holiday, and there is no morning ceremony. Master Yu worked hard for me last night, so why not leave a meal. "
Before Yu Ye spoke, someone came in and said something to her ear.
Xu Jiao guessed that this person might not stay for dinner.
The real power is in his hands, but he is not the one sitting on the dragon chair. Yu Ye is an ordinary general who cares about the emperor's heart and should be busy with a lot of things.
Sure enough, Yu Ye looked at Xu Jiao as soon as the man finished speaking: "I still have important things to do, Your Highness, take it easy."
Xu Jiao wanted to be polite to her, but she had already turned around and disappeared.
She could only look at the door, and after a while, she put down the spoon in her hand, resting her cheek with one hand, wondering what she was thinking about.
The system that has been very idle recently appeared again: "Falling in love with you? Deep-rooted love?"
Xu Jiao answered it leisurely: "It's best not to plant, I'm too lazy to go into emotional dramas."
After she finished speaking, she beckoned the palace servant next to her to come over, and ordered the kitchen to make something to send to Yu Ye's house, so she no longer focused on this person, but concentrated on her own study.
…
afternoon.
Yu Ye had just come out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and heard Jin Yiwei's return to her life. Sitting in the lobby of the old general's mansion, she noticed that the housekeeper beckoned for people to serve dishes, so she glanced at the table and saw the whole man. It was plain, so he picked up his chopsticks.
Who would have thought that as soon as I tasted it, people were stunned. This dish clearly looked like melons, but how could it taste like... meat
She moved her cheeks twice, and her brows were already wrinkled. She didn't know what tricks the kitchen was playing, and she dared to disobey her orders like this. She had clearly told her not to see meat for months.
"When" sounded.
It was the sound of chopsticks hitting the table.
Jin Yiwei, who was still on the list originally, was silent, and even the old housekeeper who had been following her was captured by her growing majesty.
Yu Ye didn't want to anger others, so he just said, "Call the head of the kitchen today."
But the housekeeper already knew what was going on, and quickly interceded for the people in the kitchen: "Master Yu, the kitchen... This dish in the kitchen is not against your wishes, it is actually a few days ago, His Royal Highness The Crown Prince came out with news from the palace, saying that It was because the adults at the dining table had never used chopsticks for meat, and I guessed that you probably don’t like meat, so I specially gave the kitchen a few recipes and asked the kitchen to do the same. The meat is made into a vegetarian dish, which is still a light method. I'm just afraid that you will find out and lose your appetite... Today, I dared to make the decision to submit it, which is really breaking the rules. If you want to punish me, punish me for my own opinion."
The housekeeper knelt down as he spoke, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, with a bit of sadness in his tone.
He just went out to buy goods on the day when Yu's house was raided, and he avoided this disaster. He was already disheartened and planned to return to his hometown to spend the rest of his life here. Who knows that Yu Ye, thinking of his old love, will return them to them. The people who stayed were brought back to the mansion, and he had watched Yu Ye grow up since he was a child, so he naturally had elder feelings for her, and now he couldn't bear to see her revenge and suffer from such sequelae, and he was full of heart-wrenching feelings. The following says:
"You don't eat meat and fish these days, and everyone has lost a lot of weight. I really can't bear to see you like this. If Jiuquanxia meets the old general's wife in the future, I will have no face to tell them that I have taken care of the little master so far... "
Yu Ye's expression changed and changed.
But she still helped the old housekeeper up immediately: "Uncle Zou, I just encountered too many things these days, and I have a bad appetite in midsummer. It's not what you think."
Seeing that her anger had been withdrawn, the old housekeeper dared to get up from the ground. He wanted to persuade her to take care of her body, but he was afraid that he would talk too much, so he confided a few words, not wanting to disturb Yu Ye's appetite, so he stepped back and walked out. The hall began to weep.
Yu Ye stared at the dishes in front of him. It was true that there was no meat left. As long as he didn't look closely, he would not be able to eat them, and the bite just now had no fishy smell.
She took another bite and was distracted thinking of someone.
Xu Jiao.
And what she said: "Master Yu is really hard to please."
Combining the things she had done in front of him several times, it was not difficult for Yu Ye to find that the other party really wanted to please him.
It's just that this little girl is not simple. She has a delicate mind and is very good at pretending. Many times she can't figure out what the little guy is thinking.
If she really supported her on the throne, would this person also use such a calm expression to order the people around her to take her head on her neck
…
Xu Jiao still didn't know what kind of scheming she had been imagined by Yu Ye.
She had a vague stomach ache since the afternoon, but at that time her class had not yet finished, so she could only sit on the chair forcibly, and finally waited for the old ministers who came to the class to leave, she got up from the chair, However, she heard Gong E, who was waiting beside her, exclaiming in a low voice.
"Your Highness!"
Xu Jiao looked at it in confusion, seeing the other person's gaze focused on the hem of the clothes behind her, she already knew it in her heart.
She is Sunflower Water.
No wonder the lower abdomen is distended.
Gong E wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come over to take a look, but Xu Jiao waved her hand and did not disturb the imperial doctor. In her opinion, it was just a trivial matter. She changed all her clothes and took a warmer bath at night to get rid of the cold. .
With the memory of the original owner, she knew from a brief recollection that the pain in her stomach should be the root cause of the original owner being driven to sweep the snow in winter when she was a child. Even if she became a prince now and started to pamper herself, but the debts owed to her body in those years were mistreated. , always have to pay back.
Gong E saw that her expression was still calm, and she suppressed her panic, and just followed her instructions to do things one by one.
But when it got dark, Xu Jiao still couldn't resist. She lay down on the bed ahead of time, wrapped in a quilt thicker than yesterday, trying to fall asleep. There were already a few Tang Pozi in the bed, but the pain didn't seem to go away. .
Fortunately, her ability to endure pain is not bad, and she can respond freely to the people around her, except that her complexion is a little worse than usual, the rest is normal.
She did not frown slightly until the people around her had retreated and there was no one around the bed.
The system asked her, "Why don't you ask an imperial doctor to see you?"
Xu Jiao answered it with her eyes closed: "It's just a small matter, I went to call the imperial doctor on purpose, Yu Ye will definitely know about the situation, she is very wary of me and likes to pretend to be superficial, so I asked the imperial doctor, Yu Ye was very wary of me. It makes sense that she has to come here - recently I saw that she was caught up in the affairs of the palace, and she didn't eat much, so let her have a good rest in her own mansion, don't make this trip. "
System: "You are kind to her."
Xu Jiao gave a "um" and added: "It's mainly because my stomach hurts now, I'm too lazy to pretend to her, it's too hard to talk to her."
That person suffered a major family change when she was young, and now she has a high position in power, so she is definitely not a heroine who can casually communicate with others. She is a little different from the heroine Xu Jiao has seen before, that is when Xu Jiao came , she is an adult, Xu Jiao can't erase those bad stories of youth in advance.
What she faces is a heroine who has suffered and has completely mastered the plot.
The other party didn't need her rescue, and even held her life in his hands.
Xu Jiao didn't know if she was used to facing a heroine who would please her, so now that she saw Yu Ye's normal attitude towards chess pieces, she couldn't turn around.
She can tell the difference between Yu Ye and Zheng Zhiyu in the previous world.
But she couldn't help but want to be nice to this person.
Be caring.
Maybe the empathy is a little too deep.
That relationship... After all, it had an impact on her.
So much so that when she clutched her stomach and huddled on the bed, she bit the quilt and scolded in a low voice, "Liar."
As promised, no matter where she is, she will come.
Obviously, he has already caught up with the previous world from that fantasy world, so why isn't he coming now
…
"Who is Your Highness scolding?" A voice suddenly sounded beside the bed.
Xu Jiao's attention was all on chatting with the system, so she naturally ignored the outside world. She didn't hear the servants passing Yu Ye into the palace, nor did she hear Yu Ye questioning the palace staff what was going on with her.
Now suddenly hearing Yu Ye's voice, Xu Jiao seemed to hear thunder, she raised her head to look at the bed, and saw the black figure again. , The clothes are very slim, which complements her slender figure.
Xu Jiao didn't say a word, and Yu Ye didn't care about this little detail, and asked again, "Why didn't your highness ask the imperial physician to come and take a look?"
While speaking, she raised her hand and reached into the quilt. She felt the sweat on Xu Jiao's neck. She paused, seeing that Xu Jiao's face was already pale, and subconsciously exerted some internal strength to cover her abdomen. , rubbed gently.
Miraculously, Xu Jiao felt a scorching temperature seep into her abdomen, and even her limbs and bones that couldn't get hot were warm.
Pain is slightly reduced.
With hindsight, she realized that even if she has some skills and a little bit of skill, in this world, it's okay to avoid ordinary attacks, and it's still not enough to deal with this kind of hanging with internal power.
The poor physical fitness is here, and she has no internal strength. If she had, she would have used this good way to relieve pain just now.
Xu Jiao slowed down a bit, glanced at her feebly, and replied, "You don't need to disturb the imperial doctor for a small matter, but why did Master Yu come?"
Yu Ye retracted his hand, sat beside her bed, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness has a good memory. I only promised to protect His Highness in person yesterday. I never thought that His Highness would forget this matter today."
There was a bit of sarcasm in her voice.
Xu Jiao looked at her lightly.
There were some thin red marks at the corners of her eyes that were pressed out by the sleeping position. With her eyes at the moment, it was like a wave of light flowing in her eyes, which was a moment of surprise.
Yu Ye didn't know how she saw herself like this.
Just as she was about to ask, Xu Jiao said softly, "It's not that I have a bad memory—"
"It's just that some people's words don't count. I don't know which ones to believe and which ones not to believe."
There was even a hint of soft complaint in the words.
like...
behave in a spoiled manner.
Yu Ye was stunned.
Before she could react, she saw Xu Jiao don't open her head again. In this quiet indoor atmosphere, she whispered, "I have a stomachache, and what I said is a little out of place. It doesn't count. Master Yu, don't take it to heart."
Yu Ye raised his hand unexpectedly: "Chen... Give your Highness another rub?"
