Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

He Lanyan looked at the dishes in the food box and glanced at the person in front of him with a strange expression.

Then he asked vaguely: "Have you encountered anything recently?"

"What?" Qingchen didn't know what he was talking about and tightened his collar.

The palace maid's uniform only has a thick coat and no cloak, so she came here in the cold and would have to go back in the cold soon.

He Lanyan looked at the fried rabbit meat that was the same as yesterday.

This girl keeps giving herself this dish for half a month.

No matter how delicious it was when he ate it a few times before, he would still get tired of eating it after half a month.

However, he did not say it outright.

"Have you been punished by your master to take care of rabbits recently?" His question was still very vague.

Qing Shen was not stupid, so he heard it, and said with a guilty conscience: "Didn't you say it was delicious when you ate it for the first time?"

"That's why you keep doing it?" He Lanyan felt a little inexplicable joy in his heart when he heard this.

"Yes." Qingchen responded, not daring to look directly into his eyes.

Afraid that he would see his guilty conscience.

He Lanyan nodded and said nothing else, but moved his chopsticks.

"I thought women liked fluffy animals like rabbits." He Lanyan looked at the rabbit meat on the plate and curled his lips and said, "But I didn't expect that you have been cooking rabbit meat for half a month."

"I...I like rabbits, but..." I prefer eating rabbit meat.

In the previous life, in the small courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, the dog slaves of the Zhao Mansion deprived her and Xiangsi of food.

She had no choice but to kill the rabbits she raised and eat them, and found that the rabbit meat was really good.

Rabbits are cute, fluffy, and warm in your hands.

But she really had no choice at that time...

"But what?" He Lanyan asked after seeing that she had finished half of her words but didn't continue.

Qingchen pursed her lips, got up and walked around the yard, "But didn't you say rabbit meat is delicious? That's why I keep cooking it for you."

"..." He Lanyan paused while holding the chopsticks.

He looked up at her expression at this time and found that she did not dare to look at him.

This kind of behavior is a bit different from her usual carelessness.

However, her words pleased him.

Because he said it was delicious, she kept making rabbit meat for herself...

Even though He Lanyan felt that the rabbit meat was a bit greasy, there was no problem if he ate it all.

"If you don't want to eat anymore, then I won't make this dish tomorrow." Qingchen turned back and picked up the food box to leave, "I have to leave."

"...I didn't mean that." He Lanyan put down his chopsticks and reached out to grab her wrist.

Qing Chen was stunned for a moment and hurriedly withdrew his hand, "You...what are you doing?"

"Sorry, I really didn't mean that." He Lanyan said in a sincere tone, "I just thought that if you cook this dish, it will arouse your master's suspicion. After all, to make this dish, rabbits have to be slaughtered all the time. I really thought You were punished to take care of rabbits..."

Looking at the always cold expression of the man in front of him, he showed an embarrassed expression for the first time.

Qingchen couldn't help but burst out laughing, her watery eyes full of light, "No, my master treats me very well. As long as he takes good care of her, the rest of the time, she will always be... No matter what I’m doing.”

He Lanyan looked at her steadily, "That's good."

It's no wonder that he asked her several times before if she was willing to leave with him, but she was unwilling.

It turned out that her master treated her very well.

"What kind of princess is your master?"

"Ah?" Qingchen never thought that he would ask this question. Her master...

Isn't it herself?

How... is this going to happen?

"I...my master is the ninth princess in the palace." She paused and sat on the stone bench again, "She is not smart and can't do anything, but the emperor loves her and holds her in his hands. It’s just that the princess is too cowardly, often bullied by other princesses, and is too useless..."

"This is how you view your master, and you are not afraid that your master will hear these words?" He Lanyan thought she would say a lot of praise for her master, but she didn't expect that they were all derogatory words.

"Then I will only say these words in front of you. If my master knows about it, it must be you who said it."

He Lanyan sneered: "I can't get out here, so how can I come to your master and tell you that you said bad things about her? Besides, I don't know your master either."

A flash of guilt flashed through her heart, and she secretly said in her heart: You know me, I'm just sitting in front of you.

Qing Shen pursed her lips, her watery eyes were full of light, looking at this person was inexplicably exciting.

But she didn't know it.

He Lanyan felt a lump in his throat, and a warm current surged from his heart.

He turned his face away unnaturally, and the idea of ​​taking her away became stronger and stronger.

But he knew that she didn't want to leave with him.

If he takes her away by force, it will only arouse her resentment.

Thinking of this, He Lanyan lowered his eyes and said no more.

Seeing his silence, Qingchen reached out and patted his shoulder, "It's almost the end of the New Year, and the weather is getting colder now. If you don't have enough charcoal, just tell me."

"No need." He said calmly.

Just because he knew that charcoal was inherently precious, and she, a little palace maid, would be fine no matter how favored she was by her master.

If her master discovered that she was always secretly transporting charcoal, she would probably be punished.

He doesn't have the ability to save her now. He just wants her to live well in the palace of Dongming Kingdom.

Until one day...

The day he can protect her, he will definitely take her away.

He Lanyan swore secretly in his heart.

……

When Qingchen returned to Mingyue Palace, he saw Qingmu at the door.

Why did this facial paralysis come about?

Could it be that...the royal brother is here?

Qingchen hurriedly wanted to enter Mingyue Palace through the back door of Mingyue Palace, but was seen by the man standing at the gate of Mingyue Palace.

"Ninth Princess." Aoki called her coldly.

Qingchen was about to turn around and leave, but had to turn back.

What has this paralyzed person eaten on weekdays, and his eyes are so poisonous?

When she saw him, she hurriedly turned around and left. How could he still recognize her?

She could only throw the food box aside and was about to walk into the palace: "Why are you here? Is the emperor here?"

"Ninth Princess, I left something behind." Aoki walked up behind her expressionlessly, picked up the food box she had thrown away, and handed it to her.

Qingchen's whole body froze in place, with an expression of unspeakable embarrassment.

But I had to take the food box from his hand and say to him: "Thank you..."

"You're welcome, this is what a subordinate should do." His voice was still very cold.

Qingchen: "..."

She walked into the Mingyue Palace as if she was discouraged.
