He squinted at the jade in my hand. "Who gave it to you?"

"I'd like to ask you to guess, but I don't dare." He couldn't joke around. After all, his identity was in front of me, "The painter Lin Xin gave it to me. What a coincidence, he's actually from the same hometown as me." I chuckled.

"Did he fall for you, or did you fall for him?" he asked unhappily.

Gah, I was stunned, as a string of lines formed into a ball, "What is this, Crown Prince, where do you want to go? I'm from the same village as him, and since we're rarely interested in a match, he's just giving me this. "

To think that he was able to say that my appearance was not outstanding and that I was a palace maid. Furthermore, it was clear that I was simply appreciating it. Hearing his words, even I felt that it was weird and awkward.

He's really here to make me angry.

I lowered my head and ignored him.

"Am I right?" he asked sharply.

Even if I don't speak, what can I do? What was wrong with it? Did I admit it? If I let Lin Xin hear this, I would be really embarrassed if I could see him again.

Eyes on the nose, nose on the heart, only, in a moment my chin is grabbed, he has to let me face his angry eyes directly: "You speak?" he growled.

I was baffled. "Prince, what do you want me to say? I'm not thinking the same thing as you are. What am I saying? I just gave a piece of jade to me. And what are you so big for? " He was the crown prince, which was weird. However, he was a weirdo.

His eyes became sinister and cold. This is the first time I've challenged his dignity.

I immediately sighed. "I'm sorry, it was my fault."

I am a palace maid, it can only be my fault, it can't be his.

My jaw hurt so much that I apologized. Why didn't you let go? I grabbed his hand with one hand. "I was wrong. He and I don't have what you said we are. Truth be told, it's time to get married at my age, isn't it?"

He released his grip on my hand and tightened it, then lowered his voice. "Speak clearly. I hate people who leave half of their words to others."

Who likes it? He's not yet, and he likes to tease me like this.

I did not dare to say this to him. He dragged me out by the hand, very slowly and leisurely. It's not that I want to be so bold, it's that he's dragging me.

"Crown Prince, when I was at home, I promised someone to wait for his marriage proposal." I chose my words carefully.

Grasping my hand tightly, I gently struggled and sighed: "However, it's already impossible. I just want to get out of the palace quickly and live a carefree life. Even if I'm in a palace with strict palace rules, I still can't get used to it from the bottom of my heart. And I don't want to change either. "

He let go of my wrist, and I looked at my toes. The flowers and plants on my palace shoes were beautifully embroidered, but they could not extend to the surface of my shoes, they could not actually grow in the soil.

"Ni Chuxue, don't change. After that, it won't be you." He said lightly.

I looked up and smiled at him. "Yeah, I'm afraid I won't know you in three years." If I changed quickly, I wouldn't be able to walk with him right now and talk to him so easily.

If it wasn't me, I would use this method to obtain his care. My character is like this. I like to chat freely with my friends. I treat them as my friends. In Qin and Huai dynasties, I also have friends, most of the time, we would gather in the studio to chat.

I am free and comfortable, those days, are all gone, only left me memories. I don't know, my friends. There were rich, young masters of aristocratic families, poor and useless scholars, and even Elementary Scholars who had failed in their rankings.

When I go out, I'm afraid things will be different too.

A smile of disappointment floated on my face. "Crown Prince, let's not talk about me anymore. I have nothing to talk about."

However, he laughed lightly. It was a very refreshing laugh. "Ni Chuxue, I think you're very easy to talk to."

"Easy to talk to? "What do you mean?" I was confused.

Facing my face, he solemnly said, "Ni Chuxue, you have to understand that people can't stay the same. Today is you, and tomorrow is also you. Life won't stop because of you. You can't always remember."

I nodded and smiled sweetly. "Crown Prince, before I entered the palace, I had already thought this through."

He patted my shoulder. "Ni Chuxue, are you saying that my mind is not as sharp as yours?"

It seems so, but you can't say it like that.

He raised a hand, "The Crown Prince is standing so high up, yet he is still thinking about me. I am truly impressed."

He gently took my hand and put his hand on my shoulder. I didn't feel bad, like a friend. I gave him a light punch on the side of the waist. "It's not a lie. Don't not believe me."

"He is in an excellent mood, and his smiling face is so handsome that it seems as though it could captivate anyone who sees it. This almost does not include me." On your face, there is not a single word that says that you are serious. "

I lightly punched him, my fist landing on his palm, forcing him to walk out of the forest. "Ni Chuxue, you have so much guts. How dare you attack the crown prince?"

I said narrowly, "Is the Crown Prince abducting a palace maid?"

They smiled at each other, and then the sound of their laughter spread in the forest.

He touched the Jade Butterfly in my palm and threw it with all his might, disappearing into the depths of the forest …

I exclaimed, "Crown Prince, you … oh god, are you telling me to go look for you?"

He pressed the piece in his hand into my palm. "Why do you need so much? Just keep this piece. Don't tell me you want to sell it to someone else." He raised his eyebrows at me in a way that you could try.

I slapped my forehead. "The crown prince is really unreasonable. Wouldn't it be fine if I just give you this piece?" Why do you have to throw that piece of mine away? It's such a pity to give it to Pear Fragrance. She doesn't know how happy she'll be. With this, you can go get a brush, ink, paper, and draw.

However, he calmed down. "Ni Chuxue, do I have to leave this place tomorrow morning?"

"Then why are you still here? Go back quickly." I pulled his hand off my shoulder.

His handsome eyes stared at me, "Ni Chuxue, you seem very happy. Do you really want me to go far away?"

Hehe, I can see that. Yes, I left well. No one forced me to draw a figure. How strange, how strange.

"No, no. I'm very happy that you came to see me for the last time."

He tapped me on the head again. "Come out to see me at the laundry at midnight tonight."

My heart was beating fast. "Crown Prince, is this a private meeting?" A secret meeting in the middle of the night to make people misunderstand.

He disdainfully said, "What kind of weeds are in your brain? If you don't come, you can try."

"Alright, alright, alright. Crown Prince, you go out first. I'll come out later, otherwise, it won't be good to be seen." I said respectfully. Was it even necessary to use a threat? He is the crown prince. Do I have to listen to him? Really.

He glanced at me. "Three o'clock."

"Alright, three o'clock." Can I resist? He was going to doze off again tomorrow anyway.

My mind is not filled with weeds, this is probably something only I can not misunderstand, I know, the crown prince always likes to spend the middle of the night. He was very lonely. He probably wanted a friend who could chat like this.

Furthermore, he keeps on looking for me, even asking me out.

They were all sleeping soundly, with snoring sounds coming from their noses. However, I didn't dare to sleep soundly, afraid that I would miss the third fragment of the night.

It's not the first time I've been out, but I don't know what I'm afraid of.

As for the jade pendant, I haven't told Pear Blossom about it yet. I turned around and looked at her sleeping face and felt a bit ashamed. I haven't really cared about her these past few days.

She was sleeping peacefully. She was very beautiful with pear fragrance. She should be able to get used to it by now.

That's good. If I really had that illness, I wouldn't be able to stay with her.

Now, I wish she were just as strong and kind as she was before, so she wouldn't be sad for me.

The dull sound of the distant bell indicated that the third fragment of the night had arrived.

A clear moon shone down lightly here, and I rose gently and looked about me as if I were a thief.

He tiptoed out. Before he closed the door, he did not see anyone get up. He then felt relieved.

The air outside was so fresh, the faint fragrance and the refreshing breeze made one's muscles and bones feel comfortable.

The moon was hanging diagonally in the sky, smiling brightly. The stars filled the milky way, blinking adorably.

The night was very quiet. The jade plate like full moon was moving through the clouds. The faint moonlight scattered over the land. At night, the full moon rose, and a hush fell over the earth with its silver mist of moonlight.

I gently smiled as I stroked my hair. There was a strong attraction from outside that made me want to leave as my steps became lighter. A shout stopped me in my tracks.

"Chu Xue, it's so late, where are you going?" His faint voice carried a sense of majesty.

It was Lin Si Ji. My scalp went numb as I turned around and bowed. "Sister Lin."

She approached with a refreshing scent. It was the scent of chrysanthemums. Had she been waiting here all night? She looked at me with a smile. "Chu Xue, it's so late. Where are you going? This palace is not a place where one can walk around randomly. "

"Big Sis Lin, esteemed wangfei's body isn't feeling very well. Chu Xue's a little worried, so she wants to go take a look." Forgive me, I lied. I can't say that the Crown Prince had an appointment. I've seen him. Let him send me to the cold palace.

"Ah, first snow, how's esteemed wangfei's health?"

Feeling a little guilty, I didn't dare to look Lin Si Ji in the eye. I whispered, "Not so good, I always repeat myself." It was true.

"There's no need to go in the middle of the night, right? How about this, I want to go see esteemed wangfei as well, so I'll go with you." I can't see clearly in the dark. What's that on her face? Or what?
