The boy refused to take it and pushed the gold back: "Princess, it's my honor to help you with things. How can I ask for your reward, Princess?"
Xia Yuanqiu directly put the gold into the boy's hand and said with a smile: "You deserve this, you're welcome!"
Xia Yuanqiu raised the book in his hand again and said, "I will return it after reading it! If Prince Jing comes to ask you something, just say you don't know. I found the book myself. Do you understand?"
The boy nodded blankly, thinking that it was not a shameful book, why not let Prince Jing know
Xia Yuanqiu put away the books, turned around and left the study, returning to the guest room the same way.
When he came back, Zhu Yan was sitting in a daze at the door of the guest room, with a strange expression on his face. When he heard her familiar footsteps, he stood up quickly and asked her, "Where have you been?"
Xia Yuanqiu said quietly: "I just walked around. Have you had breakfast?"
Zhu Yan shook his head and stared at her: "Promise me not to leave secretly, absolutely not!"
Xia Yuanqiu raised her eyes and looked at those extremely serious peach blossom eyes. They were the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. They could be affectionate and gentle, but they could also be domineering and cold!
"What are you thinking about? I'm just walking around. I don't want to go anywhere else!"
Zhu Yan stared at her and repeated, "Promise me!"
She could only nod: "Okay, okay, I promise you, okay, let's go have breakfast, I'm hungry!"
She took his arm and walked into the room. Her mother and Wen Rentuo had already started eating. When she saw them coming back, she quickly helped them add two bowls of white porridge.
Yun Xiangjun said to Xia Yuanqiu: "Xiao Yuan, next time you go out, at least say hello to Zhu Yan, so as not to worry him. No, he has been sitting at the door, refusing to eat, just waiting for you to come back." "
Wen Rentuo said with a smile: "If you don't come back, I'm afraid he will turn into a stone sculpture of a man looking at his wife!"
Although it was a joke, Xia Yuanqiu couldn't laugh. He just held the porridge and ate it quickly.
After eating, Xia Yuanqiu found an excuse and hid in the jade bracelet space to read. Zhu Yan left the politeness and asked along the way. Sure enough, he found the place where Xia Yuanqiu had been this morning.
The young man was very shocked, thinking that the princess' prediction was really accurate, and Prince Jing really came to inquire.
"Princess, did you come to borrow books today?"
The servant was a little nervous and did not dare to look into Prince Jing's eyes. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, the princess found a book and left. I don't know what book she took."
Zhu Yan looked at the nervous and trembling boy in front of him and said with a smile: "I didn't ask you anything, why did you just say it all? It seems that this is not necessarily true!"
The boy was shaking even more. Although His Highness Prince Jing had a smile on his face and his words were gentle, standing in front of him like this, he felt very oppressive. Although his voice was gentle, it revealed a trace of nervousness that made him unable to help but feel nervous. of majesty.
"No, no, Xiao, Xiao, I don't dare, I don't dare to lie to Prince Jing."
"Raise your head!" Zhu Yan's voice became three points darker.
The boy didn't dare to lift his head. He could only raise his head a little, but still didn't dare to look at Zhu Yan.
Zhu Yan said again: "Look at me!"
The boy's eyes quickly raised, he glanced at Zhu Yan and then quickly looked away.
Zhu Yan said again: "What? Are you afraid of me?"
The boy said hurriedly: "No, no!"
"Since you are not afraid of me, why don't you dare to look at me?"
The boy's eyes quickly glanced at Prince Jing again, and when they came into contact with Prince Jing's cold gaze, he immediately looked away again.
