"Also, I also need a heater." The little prince huddled under the quilt, exposing only the part above his nose, and shouted in a loud voice.

"My lord, there are already two stuffed in your bed."

The one who spoke was a newly arrived maid next to the little prince, whose name was Qiaoqiao. Although she was not as neat as Pearl before, she was fortunately not long-winded.

The little prince pursed his mouth: "But the feet are still very cold."

After he finished speaking, he felt a little aggrieved, and he began to think about whether to go to the Fourth Emperor to hide for a while, and then come back when the weather warmed up.

"Dong dong dong", the door of the palace was knocked at this moment.

The little prince stuck out his head curiously and said to himself, "Who is it, it's so late."

The doorman ran in from outside to report: "My lord, there is a man named Yan Heng outside who wants to find you. Do you want to let him in?"

When the little prince heard the name, his face turned pale, he rolled up the quilt, turned inside, and said, "No!"

After eating a closed door, Lord Yan was not surprised, he expected this result.

But he is not in a hurry, anyway, there will be time in the future.

Mr. Yan found an inn near Ruiwangfu to settle down, washed away the exhaustion of traveling day and night, slept peacefully, and prepared to pack up the next day and then go to his little prince.

Less than half a month before New Year's Eve, the little prince got up early and set up a stall at the gate of the palace to sell the Spring Festival couplets he wrote.

A passing old man stopped to look, and the little prince asked with a smile, "Does Grandpa want to buy Spring Festival couplets?"

The old man smiled and asked the little prince, "Why is the prince so short of money?"

The little prince said, "Grandpa gave this New Year's money to beg for auspiciousness for the New Year."

"How much for a pair? I bought it."

Suddenly, a magnetic and pleasant young male voice came in, and the little prince moved his ears and felt that the voice was very familiar.

He turned around, and sure enough, he saw Lord Yan, who had not seen him in more than a month, appearing behind him.

The little prince's heart skipped a beat, then immediately picked up the unfinished couplet and rushed back to the palace in one breath.

Just as Qiao Qiao had just finished burning a heater and was about to send it to the little prince, he ran into the little prince, as if he was being chased by someone behind him.

"My lord, what happened outside?" Qiaoqiao asked nervously.

The little prince instructed the servant to close the door, shook his head and said it was all right.

He put down the couplet in his hand and took a breath, and his heart beat a little faster. He didn't know if it was because he ran too fast just now, or because he saw that person.

It has always been quiet outside the door, and there was no knock on the door. The little prince guessed that the person should have left, so he lay on the table and started to be in a daze.

Why doesn't he just stay with the people he likes

Why are you running all the way to find me

Is his injury healed

He lost a lot of weight.

From this day on, Lord Yan will come to the door of Prince Rui's mansion on time every day to knock on the door. The little prince likes to lie in the bed and sleep late in the winter, but he wakes up after being knocked like this.

"My lord, he's here again, do you want to open the door?"

"Don't open!" The little prince who didn't wake up rubbed his eyes and got up with an angry look, "Can't he come later?"

The janitor went out and conveyed this to Lord Yan, saying that please be late.

So the knock on the door the next day was two hours late, and it didn't sound until noon.

The little prince was satisfied, but still did not open the door.

On the third day, the little servant came in as usual to report, and this time he also brought a new message, saying that the knocker had just bought a house and was recruiting a housekeeper for the past two days.

The little prince was taken aback, knowing that the land price here is not cheap, how much money would it cost, the little prince was a little bit hurt.

The little prince asked, "Where is that house?"

The servant said, "It's right next to the palace."
