Xu Jiao was thinking seriously, if she told Yu Ye directly that she didn't really mean anything to her, would Mr. Yu be so embarrassed and angry that she would kill herself in the East Palace with a single sword
If Yu Ye kept testing her a few days ago, Xu Jiao might have just chosen to go to the next new world because of her impatience and shattered the jar. Anyway, the completion of her tasks is just so-so... But recently, she has gradually After adapting to the way of survival in this world, it is not difficult to consciously wait until Yu Ye succeeds the throne. Besides, Xu Jiao does not have to go through the emotional line.
So after hesitating for a long time—
She euphemistically expressed her opinion:
"Master Yu, what's the misunderstanding in this...?"
Yu Ye looked at her somewhat hesitant to say anything, and hurriedly tried to clear things up. He guessed that his too straightforward attitude made the little girl panic. She thought to herself that I had done everything you did. In his eyes, he wanted to get close to the palace servants who looked like him, and he wanted to let himself eat the things in the bowl.
She understands.
Yu Ye only thought Xu Jiao was a little embarrassed, but today she had already decided to cut the mess with a quick knife, so she couldn't let herself soften any longer, and decided to kill this relationship when it was just budding.
"There is no misunderstanding, Your Highness need not say more-"
"It's just that you and I have different identities after all. I hope Your Highness will take back these thoughts. I have thought about it carefully. Your Highness has learned about the same as the gentlemen. Your Highness will also go with you, and you need to be with you when discussing important matters. As the Crown Prince, Your Highness should focus more on the affairs of the family and the country."
She was serious and did not give Xu Jiao a chance to explain the misunderstanding.
Xu Jiao never expected the other party to be so narcissistic.
After finally waiting for Yu Ye's long speech to come to an end, she hurriedly continued: "What Mr. Yu said is very true! I am young and frivolous and ignorant. Please rest assured, Mr. Yu, if I dare to have those inaccurate thoughts about adults again, Just teach me that five thunders are not good-"
It is impossible to like Yu Ye.
Please some self-motivated regent also sober up.
Yu Ye's face changed, and subconsciously blocked her unspoken vicious oath:
"Your Highness be careful!"
Down, down, it doesn't have to be such an exaggeration that you can't die with five thunders.
She looked at Xu Jiao's steadfast appearance, and felt that something was wrong for a while, but she really couldn't remember anything in this moment of tranquility, she only slowed down her tone and added:
"His Royal Highness has always been smart, you don't need to say any extra words, you have your own measure in your heart."
"It's just that the minister needs to say more, that Nie Yunyue of the big beam is not a good friend. He was sent to the enemy country as a pledge in the year of being weak, and he must be unwilling and resentful. If His Highness and him get close, I am afraid. He did something unfavorable to His Highness."
She was still thinking about the main character.
Xu Jiao understood what she meant. She had no interest in the male protagonist at first. Even to a certain extent, since this episode was dominated by Yu Ye, Xu Jiao was worried that the male protagonist's halo would be unfavorable to Yu Ye. It is more convenient not to kill the male protagonist in advance to avoid future troubles.
"Master Yu can rest assured, I know it."
"I think it's getting dark again. I'm afraid there will be a heavy snowfall later. You should be careful when you go out of the palace later."
Xu Jiao was afraid that Yu Ye would stay for a few more seconds and make up some shocking love stories, so she quickly looked at the sky outside the window and chased away guests without a trace.
Yu Ye looked at her suspiciously several times before leaving.
I really wanted to see if Xu Jiao was stubborn.
For example, even though she was still thinking about her, she felt sad because she was rejected in person, so she had to drive her away in advance, so as not to be seen by her with tears streaming down later.
Until leaving the East Palace.
Yu Ye told the people around him not quite at ease: "Pay more attention to the movements of the East Palace in the past few days. If something happens, report it to me as soon as possible."
The subordinates around him were puzzled, but for fear that Yu Ye would dislike his bluntness, he could only lower his head and respond earnestly.
…
Yu Ye has been busy with the Spring Festival in the coming year.
The civil ministers in the court came up with several topics of policy theory, but they were all deliberately or unintentionally playing side balls with her, discussing either the relationship between the monarch and the minister, or the constraints of the ancient imperial power, all of which reflected the relationship between her and Xu Jiao.
Yu Ye was busy fighting wits and courage with these courtiers.
After two or three days like this, she remembered the day when she promised Xu Jiao to let her go to court, remembered the conversation in the East Palace a few days ago, she looked at the subordinate beside her, and suddenly said:
"Recently... any news from the East Palace?"
The subordinates reported to her truthfully: "Everything is normal, no thieves succeeded in assassinating them, and they were all solved by the subordinates outside the hall."
Yu Ye nodded inexplicably, but said, "I'm not referring to this, I'm just saying... Has there been any abnormality in the diet and daily life of His Royal Highness the Prince in recent days?"
Being rejected by her face to face, she should not think about food for a few days. I don't know if the little girl's body is so bad, if she spends two days in this way, will she reduce the meat that she made up earlier.
She moved her fingertips unconsciously, as if she was using her memories to draw Xu Jiao's waistline when they last met.
The subordinate who was answering in front of her did not expect that she was asking this, and after a few seconds of stunned, he answered the question with good memory: "I have never heard of His Highness's poor appetite, but yesterday, because the kitchen entered the The mutton is so good, His Highness has a better appetite than before, and I drank three bowls of mutton soup."
Yu Ye: "..."
Things seem to be different from what she thought
Do not.
Xu Jiao must be...
Must have turned grief into appetite!
After all, he is a high-ranking person. If the sadness is too obvious for the people around him to see it, it must be inappropriate. This little prince, after all, grew up in the deep palace. Although it is not thoughtful and strategic, he It's easy to hide your momentary sorrows and joys.
Yu Ye persuaded himself and asked, "Does the prince suffer from insomnia or lethargy? Is there an imperial doctor in the East Palace recently?"
She thought, eating can be deceiving, but if you have a heavy heart, you will definitely not be able to hide from sleep, either because of insomnia, tossing and crying secretly in the middle of the night, or sleepiness, immersed in beautiful dreams and unwilling to face this cruel fact .
After all, she's just a little girl of fifteen or sixteen.
Thinking of this, Yu Ye sighed in his heart now, but his subordinates replied immediately: "The East Palace has not announced the imperial doctor for the past few days, nor has it been found that His Highness has any sleep problems. Get up and read a book, and work and rest very regularly."
Yu Ye: "..."
Hidden too deep! It must be hidden too deep!
I didn't expect that the little girl was so young, and she was so steady in the face of lovelorn, and she didn't reveal the slightest sadness.
Yu Ye didn't know where to start asking about this for a while.
The room was very quiet for a while.
The subordinate maintained the attitude of reporting the task, but he didn't wait for Yu Ye's next sentence. His waist was too low, and sourness climbed from his waist to his back, but because he didn't know what Yu Ye was thinking, he didn't dare to say anything. With a cry, he endured silently sweating, and finally the movement of the housekeeper of Yu's house entering the house brought back Yu Ye's mind.
She waved her hand, motioned her subordinates to step down, looked at the old housekeeper, and asked aloud what was going on.
The old housekeeper smiled and said to her: "Tomorrow is your birthday. I asked the servants in the house to make some preparations. If nothing happens, can you go back to the house earlier tomorrow night?"
Only then did Yu Ye realize that because he was too busy, he had completely forgotten about his birthday.
She narrowed her eyes and couldn't help thinking of her childhood birthday.
At that time, no matter who was born in the Yu family, the old housekeeper and the mother would remember it clearly, prepare things a month or a half in advance, and wait until the birthday of the birthday star. Any requirement will be met.
In a blink of an eye.
She was the only one left in the Yu family.
Yu Ye felt a bit of disappointment from his chest for no reason, and after a long time he slowly responded, "...Okay."
After thinking about it, she added: "You don't have to do it, and you don't have to invite the officials of the DPRK and China to celebrate their birthdays, just spend it at home as you like."
…
The next day.
"Your Highness."
In the East Palace.
Xu Jiao was drawing on the red plum tree at the window. When she was writing, she lowered her head in dissatisfaction and stared at the painting that seemed to lack a third of its charm, and heard Luluo calling her in a low voice.
Today, she is wearing a light-colored Luoshang skirt, but the skirts are all four-clawed dragons hooked out with golden threads, and they show majesty in the softness. This is what Yu Ye asked the people from Shangyi Bureau to customize for her. Clothes are unique to Dayan.
She turned her head to look, motioning Luluo to speak if she had something to say.
Luluo said directly: "I heard from the people in the palace that today is Master Yu's birthday."
Yu Ye wants to keep a low profile, but her identity is here, even if there are many people who dislike her in the court, there are more people who want to please her, and almost all Dayan knows her birthday.
Xu Jiao raised her brows, and Luluo mustered up her courage to remind her, "What gift do you want to pick up from Donggong?"
Xu Jiao thought for a while, although Yu Ye felt affectionately that she liked her, but at this time, in order to completely separate the relationship, she didn't even do this kind of superficial effort, so she casually said: "What treasures are in the warehouse, you can pick them up. A suitable one is enough to send.”
Luluo thought she was going to do something special, but she didn't expect to receive such an order.
Xu Jiao still wanted to pick up a brush and paint, but suddenly remembered that in the previous world, when Zheng Zhiyu gave her a birthday, she personally kneaded the noodles, boiled bone soup for a long time, and gave her a bowl of longevity noodles.
The red mark on the tip of the pen dripped down.
Smudge a big blob of red on the paper.
"Your Highness?"
After a while, Luluo saw her destroy the painting with her own eyes, looked at her blankly, and called out. Seeing that Xu Jiao didn't respond, she boldly stepped forward, and the sound of breathing fell on Xu Jiao's ears.
Xu Jiao was suddenly approached, she regained her senses and saw Luluo's face, she somehow threw the pen in her hand, raised her hand and gently clasped Luluo's chin.
Luluo was stunned for a moment, hiding the surprise in her heart, trying her best to calm herself, and said again with a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness..."
It's just that the call is much lower this time, as if hiding a bit of softness.
Xu Jiao said softly, "Don't move."
Luluo lowered her head and didn't look at her, her outline was very similar to Yu Ye, and also very much like the lover she missed just now.
For the first time, Xu Jiao regretted giving the heroines such a look.
So that there are so many identical faces.
Even when I miss it, I can't seem to pick out the unique place in my sweetheart.
She gradually got closer to Luluo.
It seems that through the lines on the face of the other party, I can distinguish it carefully—
Actually it's not.
This person has a humble temperament, which is not at all different from Zheng Zhiyu's arrogance.
Zheng Zhiyu's nose seems to be a little higher and her eyes are bigger...
Luluo thought she was going to kiss her, so she closed her eyes subconsciously, but after waiting for a long time, she only waited for an angry scolding from outside the hall:
"His Royal Highness, what are you doing?!"
Xu Jiao let go, Luluo was so frightened that everyone knelt down, she took advantage of the situation and glanced in the direction of the door.
He was seeing Yu Ye, the birthday star who was celebrating his birthday today, standing at the door of the study.
Yu Ye originally wanted to see how Xu Jiao was doing recently. If she was not doing well, she would give her a chance to be courteous to herself. After all, today is her birthday, she should really want to help herself, but who knows but come here. See such a sight!
She asked the maid to pick a gift for herself!
She is still teasing the palace servants around her in a sacred place like the study!
Simply, simply indecent!
Yu Ye couldn't tell why she was so angry. She didn't even realize that her eyes were still blazing with fire when she looked at Xu Jiao, as if the main palace would arrest the husband who was secretly eating weeds on the spot!
