Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

Qingchen straightened his clothes, picked up the bundle on the ground and stuffed it into his arms.

"Here, take it, here are some thick clothes for you, and some charcoal. If you feel too cold and can't stand it, you can use it to warm the house."

After saying that, she pointed to another bundle on the ground.

He Lanyan threw the baggage aside and stared at her seriously: "Why...why haven't you come again recently?"

Could it be that she really caught him talking to someone last time, so she didn't dare to come?

In recent days, He Lanyan has been thinking about this issue.

But thinking back, if she really encountered her conspiring with others, she would probably tell her master.

But he waited for a long time, but he didn't wait until the Dog Emperor of Dongming Kingdom sent someone to spy on him or directly changed his position.

that……

Is it possible to prove that she actually didn't hear anything?

And she even came here to give her thick clothes tonight...

Thinking of this, He Lanyan looked at the baggage he had thrown aside.

Hearing this, Qingchen concealed the panic in her heart and said with the words she had already thought about: "I ran out secretly while the princess was resting. The princess has been feeling unwell for a while, so I have been by her side to take care of her. I don’t have time to come here. Have you...did you have a good meal during this time?"

He Lanyan kept paying attention to her expression, trying to detect her panic.

But after going around for a while, she seemed to have no problem.

If it wasn't that she was so good at hiding her emotions, then she... really meant what she said.

I really can't separate myself, so I can't come over.

He Lanyan walked straight to the courtyard and looked at the fallen leaves on the ground without saying a word.

Qingchen stepped forward and walked up to him, "What's wrong?"

Could it be that the dining room deducted his meals again?

She has to go over and teach those slaves a lesson tomorrow.

"Did those people still not bring you food?"

He Lanyan looked at her, his expression still indifferent, "No, it's just that the food those people cook is not as delicious as yours."

Qingchen: "..."

original……

Hearing this, Qingchen didn't know whether he should laugh or be annoyed.

She is a majestic princess of a country, but she actually has to cook for a little prince from a foreign country...

Taking a deep breath, she comforted herself.

It's okay, it's okay. He was praising his cooking skills.

"Brother, don't be like this." Qingchen walked to the stone bench and sat down, "I've been really busy recently. Before the princess felt ill, she did something wrong and was punished by the emperor to copy the Analects of Confucius. The princess asked me to copy, and I copied it successfully. It's almost broken. Now that the weather is cold and my hands are already stiff, I still have to write so many words. It's really tiring."

She said, turning her wrist in front of him.

"How do you think I can afford to cook with kitchen utensils now?"

He Lanyan heard this and looked down at her wrist.

I saw that there were indeed red marks on her tiny wrists.

He reached out and grabbed her wrist, and looked at the area next to the nail of her middle finger. It was indeed bulging.

That's caused by holding the pen for a long time.

His handsome face had a hint of complicated emotions.

"Sorry, I caused you trouble."

Qingchen: "..."

She suspected she had heard it wrong.

The character of this foreign little prince is obviously so...inhumane.

Before, he always wanted to kill himself with a sword.

Now he actually apologizes to himself?

Has he really realized his painstaking efforts?

that……

If he keeps up his efforts, is there a chance that he will not attack Dongming Kingdom in the future?

No, no, no, this is a bit far-fetched.

Should he be planning to escape now?

Then my mission of reformation has not been completed yet!

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down. He Lanyan was not a talkative person to begin with.

Qingchen didn't speak, and he couldn't find anything to say, so the two of them were silent for a while.

Finally Qingchen couldn't help it anymore and asked him: "Actually, have you ever thought that one day you can return to your country?"

After she sent him meals for several days, he simply said that he was the prince of Xihe Kingdom.

Because the two countries fought a war more than ten years ago and Xihe Kingdom was defeated, so he was sent as a hostage as a means for Dongming Kingdom to contain Xihe Kingdom.

Apart from that, he would not say anything else to himself.

Taking this opportunity, Qingchen wanted to have a 'talk' with him.

Hearing this, He Lanyan raised his eyelids and glanced at her, only to see her pink face full of expectation.

Before he could answer, she patted her head and said, "Hey, I'm not asking nonsense. Normal people would want to go home after being away from home for more than ten years."

He Lanyan's eyes darkened slightly, "It's useless for me to want to go back. It matters whether my father and queen mother want me to go back."

Qingchen was shocked.

Hey, is this topic something she can listen to?

Don't the king and queen of Xiga Kingdom want their son to return to their country?

No, that's not right, if they haven't come to an agreement. How could He Lanyan be answered?

Qingchen found that he was distracted. The man in front of him looked sad and kept looking at the fallen leaves on the ground. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Maybe he was thinking of his loved ones?

I haven’t seen my relatives in more than ten years. Even if I see them, will they feel strange?

Because I haven’t seen him for more than ten years.

Thinking of this, Qingchen felt inexplicably pitiful about him.

She reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting her softly: "What are you thinking about? Your father and queen must want you to come back. There are no parents in the world who don't love their children."

He Lanyan clearly felt a soft little hand patting his shoulder several times.

The warmth of the little hand spread to his skin through the thin material of his clothes.

Let him clearly feel her temperature.

Another inexplicable warmth surged in his heart, and his eyes darkened slightly.

He Lanyan looked back at her: "If one day I leave Dongming Country, will you leave with me?"

"Ah?" Qingchen was stunned when he heard this.

he he he...

What does this mean?

This man actually asked himself if he wanted to leave with him?

"Leave with you? Follow you to Xihe Country?" She opened her watery eyes in disbelief and immediately withdrew her hand that was patting his shoulder.

"Yeah." He Lanyan looked at her with a burning gaze.

Touching his serious eyes, Qingchen immediately jumped up with a guilty conscience.

This guy...

What means? Why is he taking him back to Xiga Country?

"No, it can't be done." Qingchen looked slightly flustered, his eyes flickering, "I... I'm just a small palace maid in Dongming Kingdom, and I can't leave the palace casually. I... I can leave the palace after I'm twenty-five years old. I will definitely not leave the palace with you."

Seeing her reaction like this, He Lanyan understood that she didn't understand what he meant.

"Lovesickness." He called her name for the first time, which made Qing Shen's heart tremble violently.
