C174 Princess Orchid(4)

"From what you've said, Prince Mu and his consort are already very fond of each other?"

Xiao Yi Yan was startled, but he did not have the habit of talking behind his back, so he only smiled. King Mu and Princess Mu were like that, but how could they be called love and affection? Especially after Yan Yu was born, as the sole beloved grandson of his royal grandson, it made Xiao Yi Mo even more proud. His attitude towards his second concubine, He Yi Yu, had long since changed, and he treated Gu Qing Ruo as a nobody.

Jing Yuan looked at his expression and understood what was going on. She smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just saw Prince Mo and his wife loving each other so much that I thought the princes of the Eastern Abyss would choose to marry them. Unlike me, a prince of the Western Paradise, who would marry a woman he did not love in order to pacify his subjects or marry his neighbors."

"This is indeed the case with the royal family's marriage. Even the affection between them is incomparably cold, let alone the matter of the prince's marriage? Who can be like Prince Mo, who can marry a congenial princess? "

"Since Prince Mo managed to get this marriage, it must not be easy."

"That's not the case. At first, he was also ordered to marry her. He looked down on her and even ignored her for a long time …" Xiao Yiyan seemed to be immersed in his memories.

He suddenly thought of the private matters that belonged to fifth brother. How could he casually tell this to a palace maid in the Western Paradise? Then he stopped.

"Then why did they get along with each other so harmoniously?"

This little palace maid was obviously not sensible and completely ignored everyone's expressions, wanting to get to the bottom of this.

Xiao Yiyan said indifferently: "I am a lowly person, how would I know about the secrets of the Imperial Family? Miss Jingyuan's curiosity is just too great. "

Seeing him keep silent, Jing Yuan could not help but sneer in her heart. It must be that Princess Mo was so scheming that she had managed to win his favor by some tricks, causing him to be bewitched.

She changed the subject and said, "I was staying inside. I could only stand far away in the corner. Actually, I couldn't see anything clearly. Thinking that the imperial garden would be charming on a moonlit summer night, he wandered here. He never expected to get lost.

"I'll send you back to the Sky Bearing Hall later."

"Yes." Jing Yuan held her chin and sighed.

"So young, why are you sighing? Do you have something on your mind?"

"I'm worried about my princess. Of the four adult princes of Dongyuan City, two of them have a main wife while the other two … I wonder what kind of person your majesty is …" "What if you choose someone that my princess doesn't like?"

"Your Majesty, you're implying that we should let the princess get along with the four princes for a while and let her choose among herself?" I faintly heard that as long as the princess has set her eyes on her, even if it's someone with a main wife, she could be demoted to a secondary wife and the princess could be welcomed back to the residence. "

"Destroying someone's marriage isn't a good thing. Even if I get what I want, I still feel uneasy."

"That's true, then who did your princess pick?"

"I am only a palace maid. No matter how intimate I am, the princess might not tell you about this kind of worry in her heart, right?" Jingyuan smiled sweetly, revealing a few fine teeth. She looked quite cute, but it was diluting her previous aggressive aura.

Xiao Yiyan also smiled. "But you're actually quite worried for her."

"Yeah, she said today that the Emissary of Dongyuan had hinted that the person the Emperor wanted to propose to is King Chen. However, she only realized that it was different when she arrived at the East Peak." When he went out with her today, he was always absent-minded. Apparently, he was more perfunctory than attentive. It was like he didn't want to marry her. "

"She …" You can tell? "

Jing Yuan curled her lips, "You look to be in low spirits, but you still want people to not be able to see it?"

Xiao Yiyan was silent.

Judging from Jingyuan's tone, Princess Lan Xun definitely wouldn't take away someone's beloved. If that was the case, then Xiao Yi Mo and Xiao Yi Xiu definitely wouldn't be among the candidates.

And the princess felt that when he accompanied her for a while, his mood had waned and he was not sincere at all. In that case, she had to choose … However, Xiao Yijin's character would probably harm Princess Lan Xun, wouldn't it?

He suddenly let out a soft sigh. Even he himself was too preoccupied with his own flaws, so how could he have the leisure to care about others?

"What are you sighing about?"

"Princess Lan Xun must have followed orders to come to the Eastern Abyss and marry a man she isn't familiar with."

Jingyuan and Qingling's eyes swept across his face before they finally answered, "Of course! Who knew what character and temperament the brothers of the Xiao family had? Perhaps they were all mediocre popinjays, or perhaps they were ruthless and sinister people … "Men are afraid to enter the wrong path, while women are afraid to marry the wrong man. Isn't it normal for her to be unwilling?"

"At such a young age, don't look so worried for our country. Your princess has her own choice, it's not up to you to worry about."

Feeling that this little palace maid's frown was a little cute, Xiao Yiyan smiled faintly as he stood up, then flipped his sleeve, holding a complete Falling Flower Palm. It was indeed Hibiscus Mutabilis, the one on the branch.

"If I give it to you, my mood might improve." He did not play this trick for a long time, and it was no longer as leisurely as it was before when he was teasing girls. Today, in order to comfort this little palace maid, he casually revealed a hand.

Jing Yuan's eyes were wide open, her face full of envy. She looked at Jing Yuan from head to toe, and asked in surprise, "Where did you come from? "Let me see you transform into another flower."

"Too much food is tasteless. This sort of small trick, it's sufficient to play it once. If you continue to play it like this, it'll be seen through. Then, it'll become boring." Xiao Yiyan put the flower in her palm and turned to leave.

"Wait, you … Was there something on his mind when he was alone here? "

"What worries can a eunuch have?"

Xiao Yiyan paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed coldly at himself: "If there is, then it's possible that no one will ever like it, haha!"

He left the imperial garden without looking back, ignoring Jingyuan's call from behind.

Jingyuan turned his head to look at his back, and for some reason, he felt a little lonely. At his age, he should be a young man with a red face. Furthermore, as a descendant of the royal family, he should be a dragon among men. Could it be that the hidden bitterness in his eyes was all for that Princess Mo?

Thinking of this, she hated Princess Mo even more.

When Jingyuan hurried back to the princess' side, the banquet was already coming to an end. The princess stood up to bid farewell to the empress and the princes, so naturally no one paid any attention to the arrival or departure of a young palace maid.

Xiao Yijin followed closely behind Princess Lan Xun. He said in an attentive manner, "Princess, it's already late in the night. For the sake of safety, how about you let Little Wang send you back to the inn?"

Princess Lan Xun turned her head and smiled sweetly. "Could it be that the security of your Dongyuan capital is not good?"

Xiao Yijin's expression froze for a moment, and then he said with a smile, "The princess is joking, but no matter how nice the security is, accidents can happen in a place. After all, the princess' identity is extraordinary."

"Since security is good, why should we send them off?" Princess Lan Xun had always been polite with her words, and she was quick and witty, but her quick and amiable tone carried a sharpness that could not be ignored. Her refusal left one at a loss for words.

When Xiao Yi Mo saw the awkward smile on Xiao Yi Jin's face after he was rejected, he sneered in his heart and slowed down his pace.

He knew that he had an imperial concubine, so overzealous actions would only make him look down on himself. As he was thinking this, Gu Qingluo followed him.
