Views:

"The fifth prince is really... obsessed with painting." Iris saw Hua Liuli staring at the back of the fifth prince in a daze, and whispered, "The county master, it's almost noon."

It's not good to make the prince wait.

Hua Liuli returned to her senses, turned and walked in the direction of the East Palace. Now is the time when the spring flowers are blooming, and flowers in full bloom can be seen everywhere. Even on the long palace road, there are exquisitely trimmed potted plants.

The splendid and colorful peonies were blooming recklessly, and Hua Liuli saw several eunuchs pruning the flower branches, stopped, and stopped a little eunuch: "This little father-in-law."

The little eunuch looked like he was only twelve or thirteen years old. He didn't know Hua Liuli's identity, but he knew the father-in-law who was leading the way in front of him. That was the grand-eunuch who was serving in the East Palace. He quickly put down the flower scissors and stepped forward to salute: " Hello sir."

"I want to cut a few peonies, can you help me pick them?" Hua Liuli stood among the piles of peonies, her eyes dazzled.

"Please wait a moment." The little eunuch hurriedly picked out a few peonies that bloomed just right. After sorting them out, he wrapped the flower branch with a clean handkerchief and carefully handed it to Hua Liuli.

"Thank you." Hua Liuli held the flower in her hand, and asked Iris to give the little eunuch a reward, holding the flower and continuing to walk forward.

"Miss, the person over there seems to be the Lord of Fushou County." The maid next to Xie Yao saw a group of people walking in the direction of the East Palace, and whispered, "Looking at her appearance, it seems that she is looking for His Royal Highness."

Xie Yao looked gloomily in the direction Hua Liuli was leaving, took a deep breath, and followed.

"I saw someone holding a bunch of flowers from a distance, but I didn't expect it to be the Lord of Fushou County."

Hua Liuli turned her head to look at the person who came, and hugged the peony in her arms. This is what she intends to give to the prince. As long as this girl Xie comes out, nothing good will happen.

"These flowers are really beautiful, but when the county lord picks them, they will only have a moment of youth. What a pity." Xie Yao looked at the peonies, and said with a smile, "The county lord's body For women, you should be more sympathetic to flowers."

Hua Liuli looked at Xie Yao and said nothing.

"It is said that women are like flowers, their flowering period is short, and they just want to stay on the branches for a while..."

"Probably because I feel like a big tree and don't have any empathy for flowers." Hua Liuli was in a hurry to go to the East Palace for lunch, and didn't want to talk to Xie Yao about flowers and grass, "Miss Xie, I have something else to do first. Take a step."

"Wait." Xie Yao stopped Hua Liuli, "Is the county master going to the East Palace?"

"What does this have to do with Miss Xie?"

"The prince is not married, and the county master is not married. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for you to meet alone." Xie Yao's eyes were full of emotions, but the corners of his mouth turned up, "If someone gossips, wouldn't it hurt the county master?"

"Isn't the palace maid and eunuch human, how can it be considered alone?" Hua Liuli frowned, this Xie Yao's behavior was like peeping at the prince's beauty.

Thinking of this, she felt a little strange, and she didn't bother to talk to Xie Yao, so she turned around and left.

"County Master." Seeing Hua Liuli in a hurry to leave, Xie Yao even more did not want to let her go, or she could not tolerate Hua Liuli being alone with the prince, "Does the county master just not want to talk to me?"

"Liu Li?"

The prince came out of the side door and said to Hua Liuli, "I waited for you for half a day, and Gu thought something happened to you, but I didn't expect you to be here."

"Oh. Miss Xie was discussing pity for the flowers with the minister, and the minister delayed for a while." Hua Liuli stuffed the flower into the prince's arms, "The minister remembers that there is a water-colored vase in His Royal Highness's palace. it is good."

"It's very beautiful." The prince looked down at the flower in his arms, "I like it very much."

Xie Yao's eyes were slightly red, she told Hua Liuli that it was not good to pick flowers, but the prince said that he liked these flowers. She is the cousin of the prince and has been in love with him for many years. Why did he slap her in the face for an outsider

"Do you have anything else to do?" The prince finally looked straight at Xie Yao.

"Prince cousin, I have nothing to do." Xie Yao looked at the prince expectantly, hoping that he would also invite herself to the East Palace.

"Since you're fine, then leave the palace early." The prince said with a blank expression, "Gu and Fushou County Master have something to do, so I won't accompany you."

Xie Yao: "..."

Your business is to eat

They have all arrived at the gate of your East Palace. Please invite one more person to eat. Can you eat the Poor East Palace

Xie Yao looked at the back of the prince and Hua Liuli leaving, feeling both wronged and angry, and she didn't know how to vent her hatred.

The first thing the prince did when he returned to the East Palace was to put the flowers in the vase that Hua Liuli had mentioned.

He sat cross-legged on the carpet, arranged the bouquet, and turned to look at Hua Liuli: "I thought you wouldn't come today."

"Why does Your Highness think so?" Hua Liuli lay on the table and looked at the prince.

"Because Liuli didn't talk much when she met Gu in the past two days." The prince put the vase in a conspicuous place, and smiled in a low mood: "Gu thinks you have done something wrong, and you hate it."

Hua Liuli was a little guilty. When she saw the prince in Chenyang Palace two days ago, she did leave in a hurry with her mother, but it wasn't that the prince had a problem, it was her conscience.

His Royal Highness treated her so well, but because of the prince's beauty, she had such evil thoughts, so when she saw the prince two days ago, she felt guilty.

She hid at home and copied the scriptures for two whole days, realizing that her soul had been washed and her soul had been sublimated, so that she could meet the prince confidently.

"Your Highness, you misunderstood, you did nothing wrong, it's the minister's own fault." Hua Liuli retracted her head in a guilty conscience.

"Are you worried about the death of the envoy of the tortoiseshell country?" The prince walked over to Hua Liuli and sat down, and explained gently, "You don't have to worry, Dali Temple has already investigated the whole case, and the people in your house have nothing to do with it. It doesn't matter at all."

"Fortunately, His Highness accompanied the ministers and daughters that day, otherwise it would be whatever the people of the Tortoiseshell Country said." Hua Liuli quickly continued on this topic, "It's just that I don't know who it is, who would plot against our Hua family like this."

"No matter who it is, Gu and the royal father believe that the Hua family will not do this kind of villainy behavior." The prince hesitantly stretched out his hand and touched Hua Liuli's head lightly, "So, you don't have to worry."

Feeling the palm above her head, Hua Liuli touched it subconsciously and accidentally grabbed the prince's finger.

Gentle fingers slid across the palm of her hand, she let go of her hand uncomfortably, and coughed dryly: "It is an honor to have the trust of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince.

"Liu Li doesn't need to say such polite words in front of Gu."

The palace maid brought water, and the prince washed his hands in the basin, and said while wiping: "Is it because of your solitary status that you are worried?"

A good-looking person, frowning and drooping his eyes, can affect people's minds. Hua Liuli found that she was increasingly unable to look at the prince with an unhappy expression.

She sighed, what could she do with the prince

After washing her hands, Hua Liuli wiped off the water droplets on the back of her hands. She suddenly remembered Xie Yao, who was just looking wrong, and couldn't help but remind her, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that something is wrong with Xie Yao. You have an honorable status, it is best not to talk to Xie Yao. Yao is alone."

"Thank you Liuli for reminding me, I'll take it down."

Liuli doesn't like other women approaching him, it seems that he is not full of joy. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing again.

Seeing the prince's smile, Hua Liuli's heart started to play the piano again. It seems that the scriptures she copied are not in place. After she goes back, she will continue to copy, and she must copy more and copy from her heart.

At least he can't stretch his claws toward His Royal Highness.

When Xie Yao returned to the Princess Mansion, Princess Leyang had already arrived home. She looked at Xie Yao who walked into the hall, her face was very ugly: "What's the use of raising you, even a man's heart can't be grasped."

She went to see Concubine Xian and Concubine Rong today. There is no need to mention Concubine Xian's slut attitude. Unexpectedly, Concubine Rong, who has always had no sense of existence, even rejected her marriage proposal.

Prince Ning, the second prince under Concubine Rong's knees, has a brain like that of a second fool. Among the princes, there is neither outstanding talent nor outstanding martial arts, so he dares to refuse her proposal? !

Feeling angry in the palace, Princess Leyang became more and more dissatisfied with Xie Yao's daughter: "If your sister is still alive, I don't need to be angry."

The eldest daughter is much stronger than the second daughter in terms of temperament and appearance. If she was still alive, she would have been able to win over these princes by her appearance. Why would she need to give up her face and negotiate conditions with those who once looked down upon her? .

Hearing that her mother mentioned her dead sister again, Xie Yao lowered her head to hide the chill in her eyes: "Mother, King Ying and the prince are both bewildered by Hua Liuli, and there is nothing her daughter can do."

An emperor's eldest son, a crown prince, is the most special identity among the princes, but they are all blind, and they fall in love with the pretentious Hua Liuli.

Xie Yao doesn't care who King Ying likes, she just wants to know how much the prince likes Hua Liuli.

She looked blankly at Eldest Princess Leyang who kept complaining, went back to her yard in silence, and found a green token.

"My father said that with this order, I can mobilize the killers in the neighboring county." Xie Yao rubbed the token and let out a chuckle, "Cousin, since you are so ruthless towards me, don't blame me."

"After all... Only dead men can't provoke other women, right?" She seemed to think of something pleasant and laughed out loud, "If you die, even if I marry your tablet, it will be yours. Wife, are you right?"

"County Master, you didn't say you wanted to stay away from the prince two days ago. Why did you have a meal with the prince today, and then made an appointment to go out on a horseback ride three days later?" Iris handed the Xiaoshi pill to Hua Liuli, "If you are like this, let me The slaves are very embarrassed."

"Iris, I can't blame me for not being strong-willed. The prince is so good-looking. As long as he frowns, I'll agree to anything. Don't say I'm just going out for a walk. Even if he asks me to put on armor and go to the battlefield, I can nod my head on the spot."

"There's a knife on the head of the color, you haven't seen other men for a long time." Yu Rong brought the water into Hua Liuli's hand, and the carriage staggered forward, but the water in her hand was not spilled at all.

"With such a good-looking person as the prince, I can't see other men in my eyes." Hua Liuli raised her head and drank the water.

"But," Yu Rong took the cup and looked at Hua Liuli reluctantly, "The crown prince will marry the crown prince sooner or later."

Hua Liuli was silent, and the whole carriage fell silent.

"The county master." Iris looked at Hua Liuli's lost smile and couldn't bear to say, "If you like the prince, you can marry him, and the two generals will not object."

"Who said that I want to marry the prince." Hua Liuli put her face in her hands, "I'm just thinking, who is more suitable to be the prince."

"Then have you thought about it?"

"No." Hua Liuli shook her head honestly, "No one is worthy of a prince."

Yu Rong and Iris nodded in unison: "The princess is right."

No one deserves it anyway.

Three days later, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the sky was clear. Hua Liuli took the horse that the prince gave her and led it out of the stable. When she left the house, the prince was already waiting for her.

The crown prince with his hair tied in a jade crown and a light-colored robe stood there, looking as if he had come out of the Heavenly Palace.

"Today is a good day." The prince turned on his horse, "Liu Li would like to accompany Gu for a walk in the suburbs."

"it is good."

Hua Liuli nodded, okay, okay, whatever you say is okay.

In the inner city, there were grooms holding the rope for fear of a sudden shock from the horse, and the prince did not let the grooms loosen the rope until they left the city.

The two ran for a while with the guards, and suddenly a group of wasps flew from nowhere, and the whole team was in chaos.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Hua Liuli saw an arrow flying towards the prince's horse, stretched out his hand, and pulled the prince on his horse's back.

The horse under the crotch was frightened and ran wildly with a neigh.

Hua Liuli looked back at the guard who was about to catch up, but was surrounded by a group of unidentified people, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, someone wants to kill you."

The author has something to say: Prince: I have nothing to say.
