He resolutely turned around and walked towards Princess Lan Xun. A bitter feeling rose in his heart, then surged to the tip of his nose. It was so sour that he almost couldn't suppress it.
Gu Qingli, who was like a frosty moon, melted into a pool of spring water upon seeing Xiao Yixiu. This was something he would never be able to do. Even when Yue Ye had left Mo King's Manor with him and wanted to roam the world, her eyes had always been cold and gloomy.
Her riding technique seemed pretty good, and Gu Qingruo felt somewhat reluctant to follow her. After all, it wasn't easy to learn how to ride a horse, so how could she be considered as someone that was familiar with it? She carefully controlled the reins of her horse, afraid that the horse might throw her off.
Fortunately, outside, Princess Lan Xun slowed down. She turned around and waved at Xiao Yi Yan from afar. "Prince Chen, please take good care of this princess' palace maid Jing Yuan."
Silent source? This Name... They seemed to be familiar with each other? Xiao Yiyan had no idea what was going on with Princess Lan Xun. He had said that she wanted him to accompany her, but in the end, she told him to spend time with a little palace maid?
A needle mark quickly appeared on his forehead. He raised his head and discovered that the young palace maid was coldly staring at him, seeming to be dissatisfied.
"Huh …" This little palace maid … Where have I seen it?
"Quiet …" Origin? "Last night …"
"Yes, young eunuch."
Xiao Yiyan couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. He casually told a lie, but he didn't want the palace maid to feel too pressured and restricted when chatting with him. He didn't expect her lie to be beautifully exposed after just one night.
Jing Yuan giggled. "Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you. Look at the guards protecting the princess, you're the only one protecting me, so you have to be careful of my safety."
Perhaps because the person he was facing wasn't a princess, Xiao Yiyan felt at ease.
In the past, he was the best at flirting, but now he had no interest in it anymore. However, this little palace maid was a little different from the others. She dared to pick on him.
Therefore, he only smiled leisurely: "This duke is the dignified Eastern Yuan Kingdom King, and not your guard. If you encounter any danger, This King thinks that you should flatten his horse and flee, allowing you to fend off the danger with your body. After all, compared to a mere palace maid, how can your status compare to This King's? "
"What did you say?" Jing Yuan raised his delicate eyebrows, his sharp eyes were filled with a trace of chill. However, he soon realized that there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, she was just teasing him on purpose, and his eyebrows slowly flattened as she snorted.
Xiao Yiyan instantly lost his train of thought and stared at her stupidly. Her glance just now had been sharp and domineering. Back when his father had been alive, he had met Gu Qingli and met his in the same way when they had provoked his. She hadn't been weak in the slightest and had fought back domineeringly.
Jing Yuan was a little uncomfortable under his stare. She gradually panicked under the intense gaze. She felt shy and twisted the reins in her hand. She coughed lightly, "Prince Chen, what are you staring at this servant for?"
Xiao Yiyan snapped out of his daze and looked at her again. He didn't have the charm of Gu Qingli at all. He couldn't help but mock himself in his heart.
Princess Lan Xun listened to Gu Qingruo explain which stream outside the palace was called, and which flower was the name of the flower on the grass. From time to time, she would jump with joy and smile.
Then the two of them dismounted in the middle of the field. Gu Qingluo taught the princess how to jump off her horse's sleeves.
Unexpectedly, this Princess Lan Xun's dancing posture was like the return of a swallow dancing in the wind. She seemed to be very gifted when she imitated Gu Qingruo's dance.
"Your Highness' jump was really good, if the princes saw it, they would have been shocked."
"What's so great about that, music and dancing are just for entertainment. As someone with a high position, as long as he is happy, he can make people sing and dance. Why would he want to dance by himself?" Only the lowdown jumps to show others... Ah! Esteemed wangfei, I'm sorry, didn't I say I was talking to you, really … Princess Lan Xun covered her mouth as she looked at Gu Qingruo with both unease and guilt.
At first, Gu Qingruo was angry, but then she remembered that this Princess Xi Lin was well-known for her unruly ways. What was she supposed to do with those insulting words? She had to endure it no matter what.
She took a deep breath and gave a shallow smile, "Of course I know that the princess is not talking about me. Isn't Your Highness also jumping? If you are looking down on me, how would you learn it?"
Princess Lan Xun let out a sigh and changed the topic. "Look, Prince Chen and Jingyuan are having a very pleasant conversation."
Gu Qing Ruo looked back and realized that Xiao Yi Yan and Jing Yuan had already fallen far behind them. She looked into the distance in surprise and saw that the two of them had dismounted and were walking slowly side by side, holding the reins of their horses.
"Princess... I'm afraid there's something wrong with that, right? " Gu Qingruo knitted her brows. She had been hoping to get the two of them together, but from the princess' words, it seemed like …
"What's wrong?" Princess Lan Xun looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"Oh …" It's nothing. I thought the Princess wanted Prince Chen to stay with her because she was a little … Since the princess had revealed the matter of the marriage alliance, she must also be thinking of choosing one of the four princes. Who knows … "Seems like it suits the princess more?"
Princess Lan Xun calmed down and stared into Gu Qingruo's eyes, making her panic. She suddenly felt that this seemingly innocent and straightforward princess wasn't as simple as she seemed.
On the other hand, the Princess of Lan Xun laughed. "Jingyuan is this princess' favorite palace maid. Although her status isn't high, this princess will still choose a good match for her."
"Heh …" "But …" Gu Qing gave a few laughs, thinking that the princess was overthinking things. No matter which prince she married, her palace maid wouldn't turn into a phoenix and become Xiao Yiyan's main wife, right?
Seeing that she actually doted on this palace maid, and perhaps he really did treat Jingyuan as a sister, Xiao Yiyan really didn't have a chance.
Gu Qingruo rolled her eyes and looked inside the palace walls. "Actually, of the four princes, my prince is already married …"
"I, the princess, do not mind. The emperor has once hinted to me that as long as the princess sees it, I can betroth even those who already have a main wife."
Gu Qingluo almost vomited a mouthful of blood. She did everything she could to get close to the princess and find out what was going on. She was afraid that the princess would have this kind of thought, so she decided to take a fancy to Xiao Yi Mo and didn't want to become her wife.
However, no matter what she did, she couldn't compare to the princess of a neighboring country. Furthermore, she was well aware of Xiao Yi Mo's intentions, if he really was chosen by the princess, Xiao Yi Mo would definitely find an honorable reason to divorce her.
Gu Qingruo calmed herself down and thought for a moment. She smiled and said, "Since it's because the princess doesn't mind, then I'll say it."
"Hmm?" Princess Lan Xun looked at her in astonishment.
"Prince Mo is the War God of the East Continent, his name is well-known throughout the four seas, and he is an expert in martial arts. As for his character and appearance … I have also seen the princess before. Her demeanor is extraordinary and her bearing is extraordinary.
Princess Orchon wrinkled her curvy eyebrows, seeming to be greatly distressed. A moment later, he said, "Prince Mo is famous, but I have considered it. But … But it's fine if he has an official wife, but seeing how he and an official wife seem to have no doubts about their love, if I force my way in, it'll be hard for me to beat the both of them up, sigh … "
