The Times Spent in Pretense

Chapter 57: confidant

Views:

As soon as the prince said this, the whole room was silent.

Not to mention the Leyang mother and daughter, even Jiamin and Princess Shun'an didn't expect that the prince would react this way after listening to Xie Yao's words.

Jiamin took a peek at her mother. Could it be just a rumor that the prince and Princess Leyang are closer? Looking at His Royal Highness's attitude, it doesn't look like how close he is to Princess Leyang.

Shun An was also a little confused. Could it be that she wronged the prince before

"Thank you Prince for your kindness. It's just that the Hundred State Banquet is just around the corner. Although Yaoyao and I miss our family, His Majesty and the Empress are also our family." In terms of face thickness, Princess Leyang is much stronger than her daughter, and she pretended not to hear what the Prince said. Alienation, "What's more, how can we trouble the guards in the capital with such a trivial matter. Yaoyao is an ignorant child, and he speaks regardless of the occasion. Your Highness does not need to take it to heart."

"Really?" The prince raised his eyebrows to look at Le Yang, and seemed to have some regrets for Le Yang's unwillingness to leave.

"Yeah." Le Yang couldn't hang on his face, and he was even more annoyed in his heart. The prince obviously has no intention of getting close to their mother and daughter, and I am afraid he will not be willing to let Yaoyao be the crown prince. It seems that her original plan will not work at all.

"If that's the case, then I won't send the two of you back for the time being." The prince looked at the scattered ring-shaped jewelry and signaled his servants to pick them up, "I would like to ask you to explain about your aunt's injury. "

"The prince's words mean that he believes in Shun'an but not me?" Le Yang knew very well about the contradictions between Shun'an and the prince. Taizi's temperament, even if he didn't want to favor her, he shouldn't protect Shun'an.

Hearing this, Shun An raised his head and saw that the prince was slowly playing with the phoenix-winged hairpin that was picked up from the ground, but he didn't react at all to what Le Yang said.

"It's a pity." The prince stroked the place where the hairpin broke and put the phoenix-winged hairpin gently on the table, "I only heard that a craftsman with exquisite craftsmanship will take a lot of time to make such a hairpin. Fan's hard work was broken like this."

Jia Min was very happy and quickly said, "Your Highness, the quarrel between my mother and my aunt is a private matter. Our Princess Shun'an Palace is willing to compensate for these jewelry according to the price."

"Oh?" The prince raised his eyebrows, glanced at Princess Shun'an, nodded slightly and said, "My aunt is a good teacher, she knows how to be considerate to the people, and it's not easy to be grateful to the craftsman. But this shouldn't be my aunt's fault, she is a junior alone. , and paid the money for the two aunts."

As soon as Hua Liuli walked out of the house, she heard the prince's words, she paused slightly, turned her head to look at Xie Yao, and Xie Yao's eyes also turned to her.

Xie Yao's eyes were still red, but she looked at Hua Liuli with hatred in her eyes.

Hua Liuli looked at her calmly, seeing Xie Yao's hatred getting stronger, Hua Liuli smiled, and while Xie Yao glared, she walked to the vacant seat between the prince and Princess Shun'an.

"Master, can you handle it?" The prince smiled at Hua Liuli.

"It's just a few drops of water, and it will dry up soon." Hua Liuli looked at the prince, and suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's so reckless that it dripped water on your clothes." The prince looked at Hua Liuli's smile and couldn't take his eyes away for a while.

"Prince cousin!" Noticing the prince's look at Hua Liuli, Xie Yao couldn't help but lose her temper, "She's lying!"

The prince frowned slightly, and he looked at Xie Yao expressionlessly: "Xie Er, the Princess of Fushou has always been kind, so don't frame her."

"It's so miserable." Yao Wenyin said in Tian Shan's ear, "Xie Yao called the prince the prince's cousin, but the prince called her Xie Er girl. I, a bystander, felt that the prince was trying to keep Xie Yao away from him. point."

Tian Shan put her hand to the corner of her mouth and whispered, "It can be seen that the prince has no affection for her at all."

Although the thoughts of Princess Leyang are not well known to passers-by, those who are relatively close to the royal family can see that she wants to marry Xie Yao to the prince to be the prince concubine. But the word marriage is about a match made in heaven, and the words of a matchmaker have no reason to shave their heads and pick their heads.

The prince is unwilling, and His Majesty favors the prince. Naturally, he is reluctant to let the prince marry a woman he doesn't want to marry. Princess Leyang's plan is bound to fail.

"Cousin prince, I didn't frame her, don't be deceived by her." Xie Yao looked at the prince aggrieved, "Don't you believe me?"

Princess Shun'an and Jiamin all looked at the prince.

Facing Xie Yao's aggressive posture, Hua Liuli just raised her eyebrows and bowed her head without saying a word. But she who doesn't cry, doesn't make trouble, doesn't even speak, looks more pitiful and helpless than Xie Yao.

If it weren't for the presence of the prince, Tian Ruidong would have jumped out and pointed at Xie Yao's nose to scold. Where did the little goblin come from to slander the icy and clean little fairy so much.

"Second Lady Xie, Gu and Fushou County Master are... confidants, Gu naturally believes in her." The prince didn't even have an excuse, and directly showed his attitude of trusting Hua Liuli, "The matter has gone through Gu and it is clear that it is about the face of the two aunts. , this matter should not be publicized."

He stood up and said to Hua Liuli: "County Lord, Gu just saw a pair of bracelets in the East Street shop that suits you very well. Would you like to go with Gu to see it?"

"Okay." Hua Liuli responded with one mouthful.

Seeing that the prince was so close to Hua Liuli, Xie Yao couldn't help but take a step forward. She wanted to tell the prince, don't believe this woman, she is a liar, her helplessness and weakness are all pretending, and the matter of Princess Shun'an is also framed by her, this is a liar with insidious methods.

But her reason told her that no matter what she said now, the crown prince would only frame Hua Liuli and hate her even more.

"His Royal Highness, the minister's daughter is still dizzy." Hua Liuli smiled apologetically at the prince, and took the pill handed by Iris, "You will feel better after taking the medicine."

Seeing Hua Liuli's pretentious appearance, Xie Yao tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

"Be careful." The prince stretched out his hand to hold Hua Liuli's arm, turned to the two princesses and said, "Two aunts, please take Fushou County Master to say goodbye first."

"Respectfully send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Jiamin and the other juniors hurriedly bowed.

Xie Yao stared at the place where the prince was holding Hua Liuli, and slowly bowed his knees and said a thousand blessings: "Congratulations to the prince's cousin."

Hua Liuli kicked the skirt and turned to see Xie Yao looking at her with tears in her eyes, she tilted her head innocently, charming and innocent: "Second Xie, if you want to go back to the south, you can also tell me. , the guards of our Huafu are all down on the battlefield, and they will be able to send you home safely."

"The county master is kind to me, but I don't need it now." Xie Yao gritted her teeth and said this.

"Oh." Hua Liuli smiled brightly, nodded and said, "Then tell me when you need it."

Xie Yao took a few deep breaths and kept reminding herself not to be angry, not to be angry, angry women are the ugliest.

But no matter how she reminded herself, she wanted to kick Hua Liuli down the stairs.

Tian Ruidong clutched his thumping chest and whispered excitedly: "The Princess Fushou is really kinder than a fairy. Xie Yao has slandered her so much, and she still cares about her safety, which is really touching."

Jiamin, who heard what he was saying: "..."

When a man is stupid, there is nothing wrong with being a fool.

As soon as the prince took Hua Liuli away, Princess Shun'an suddenly held her head and began to cry out in pain, then closed her eyes and fainted. The juniors were so frightened that they helped her into the carriage and hurried back to the Princess Mansion.

Jiamin looked at her mother's trembling eyelids. It wasn't because she was unfilial, but because her mother's way of pretending to be dizzy was really bad. At most, they fooled the innocent little girls like Xia Tian Shan and Wen Yin. If Hua Liuli was still there, she would have seen it at a glance.

She reached out and took away the shawl that was rubbing against Princess Shun'an's cheek. She was afraid of rubbing it further, so she wiped the rouge off her mother's cheek with the shawl.

In the prince's carriage, Hua Liuli secretly looked at the prince from the corner of his eye. The prince didn't seem to know that Hua Liuli was peeking at him, sitting cross-legged on the carpet and peeling pine nuts.

"His Royal Highness..." Hua Liuli also sat down on the soft carpet and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, do you know what the minister and daughter just did?"

"That's not important." The Crown Prince pushed the porcelain plate containing the pine nuts to Hua Liuli with a half-smile, "Sometimes, Gu can help relatives or not."

Hua Liuli was shocked, and after a while, she reached out and poked the peeled pine nuts on the plate: "In this case, Your Highness should help Princess Leyang."

"Liu Li said that, it made Gu Tai sad." The prince looked at her tenderly, "In Gu's heart, Liu Li is the one who is closer."

Hua Liuli poked the two pine nuts out of the porcelain plate with one force.

"Gu thinks, we let go of the river lights, climbed the mountains, enjoyed the flowers, and sailed the boat together, and we have long been known as confidants." The prince sighed, and the smile on his face dimmed, "It turns out that all this is just lonely and affectionate. ?"

"His Royal Highness, this is not what the ministers mean." Seeing the prince's melancholy expression, Hua Liuli suddenly felt pity, "It's just that the minister's actions brought trouble to His Highness, and I feel a little guilty..."

"What kind of trouble is this." The prince smiled suddenly, and he looked at Hua Liuli, "As long as you are willing to treat Gu as a close person, Gu is the happiest thing."

Hua Liuli opened her mouth. She wanted to tell the prince that, as the crown prince of a country, it was wrong for him to be so obviously biased towards people he was close to.

But facing the prince's gentle eyes, she couldn't say these words.

"Actually, Gu doesn't like Princess Leyang either. If I really want to say it, I would like to thank you for venting your anger for Gu." The prince laughed softly when he saw Hua Liuli's speechless expression, "Ten years ago, Gu was not The prince, the concubine is still there. The lonely good aunt pointed to the nose of the concubine and said, when your sick son dies, how many days can a woman like you be spoiled?"

"At that time, Gu stood behind the pillar, and the mother-in-law was bullied by Princess Leyang but dared not speak. Gu still remembers it clearly." The smile on the prince's face was dim, "It's just that Princess Leyang The princess thought Gu was young at that time and had forgotten what happened back then."

Hua Liuli was heartbroken when she thought of the three-headed prince standing behind the pillar and suffered so much. She reached out and grabbed the prince's sleeve: "Your Highness, don't be sad, she won't dare to bully you in the future."

"Yeah." The prince looked at the hand holding his sleeve and smiled, "So Liuli can vent his anger for Gu, Gu is very happy."

"This is our secret." The prince put his hand on the back of Hua Liuli's hand through his sleeve robe, "If you have someone you don't like in the future, just tell Gu, if you dig a hole and fill the soil for you, you will never do it. make you suffer."

Hua Liuli laughed dryly, she felt as if she had ruined the upright prince.

It's over, if her father and mother find out, will she break her legs

Seeing that Hua Liuli didn't speak, the prince's expression darkened: "Liu Li, still don't trust Gu?"

"The servant girl naturally believes in His Highness." Hua Liuli couldn't see the prince showing the slightest grievance, "The servant girl just reluctantly bears His Highness to do these things."

"Gu stayed in the imperial study all day to learn to handle government affairs, and he was not allowed to be idle. No matter what he did, there were people watching. Sometimes when he said a wrong sentence or took a wrong step, someone would write to the emperor and criticize Gu." The prince looked at Hua Liuli lonely, "Only when he is with Liuli, can the solitary feel relieved. If even Liuli treats the solitary like others..."

"His Royal Highness, Your Highness!" Hua Liuli held the prince's arm, "In the future, we will set fire together, and we will pit together with bad guys. If you don't like anyone, we will secretly deal with them, okay?!"

If you go on, I can't help but hug you into my arms and kiss you.

She is an honest and beautiful girl, she can't do such a thing.

"Thank you Liuli." The prince gave Hua Liuli a very good smile, "If Liuli has someone he hates, we will secretly deal with him together."

Seeing the prince's good-looking smile, Hua Liuli nodded dazedly.

Faced with such beauty, does she have any other choice besides nodding

No!
