Female Master: The Cold Prince

"What's wrong with you? Are you carsick from riding in a carriage?" Xiahou Jiuyue helped the person down and asked with concern.

Because she had just noticed Ye Xingchen's body suddenly stiffened and was very confused.

Ye Xingchen pulled his hand back, concealing the expression in his eyes and said, "Nothing."

"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me."

Since he didn't want to say, Xiahou Jiuyue didn't ask any more questions.

"kindness."

Fu Yin saw Ye Xingchen's unnatural expression, her eyes became a little cold, and there was a trace of imperceptible emotion in them.

"Miss, it's so beautiful here!"

Fu Yin walked calmly between Xiahou Jiuyue and Ye Xingchen, preventing them from getting too close.

"Yeah, I think so too. Looking at this vast lake, my mood can't help but become more open."

Xiahou Jiuyue walked to the lakeside. She opened her arms, closed her eyes, and nodded slightly, feeling the breeze from the lake gently brushing her face.

What is the lady doing? Seeing that she seemed to be enjoying herself, Fu Yin felt a little strange.

What kind of person is she? Ye Xingchen stared at Xiahou Jiuyue's back, lost in thought.

"Come on, Xingchen, let's take a walk around the lake." Xiahou Jiuyue turned around and said to Ye Xingchen.

In the palace.

Ling Guijun came to Jiuhe Palace with some homemade cakes.

"Where has the Fourth Princess gone? It's already noon, and she hasn't come back yet."

"Reporting to your Excellency, the Fourth Princess took some books with Fuyin this morning and went out, saying that she was going to read at a rockery in the Imperial Garden." A maid in Jiuhe Palace replied.

Ling Guijun knew that Xiahou Jiuyue liked reading.

But it is summer now and the weather is hot. What if he gets heatstroke? Ling Guijun was a little worried.

"All of you, go find the Fourth Princess now and tell her that I'm here to see her for something."

"Yes."

On this side, Xiahou Jiuyue and the other two walked around the lake for a while and then found a quaint little pavilion to rest.

In the pavilion, there were several young ladies and gentlemen resting here.

At this moment, the small pavilion, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became quiet when Xiahou Jiuyue and the other two walked in.

Everyone looked at the three people who had suddenly arrived, and stopped talking, looking at the three people with strange eyes.

It's a strange trio.

There were one man and two women. One of the two women was dressed in red, with an exquisite appearance and a cold and elegant temperament. The other was dressed in green, with a cute and lovely face, and she didn't look like a child from an ordinary family.

But what about that man? He was dressed in rags with patches all over his clothes, like a beggar.

Xiahou Jiuyue and the other two walked aside and sat down to rest, completely ignoring the ladies and gentlemen in the pavilion.

At this time, a little girl in yellow stood up from the crowd and spoke to Xiahou Jiuyue and the other two in an arrogant and disdainful tone.

"Hey! Who allowed you to come in? Don't you see that this pavilion has been occupied by us? And how can you, a beggar, come here? Don't you see who we are?"

"That's right, it's really tactless."

"It's unlucky that a beggar dares to come here."

"They don't even look at who we are and who they are. They really don't have any self-awareness at all."

"Who said it wasn't?" Everyone gradually echoed.

Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes gradually turned cold. She was emitting a biting coldness all over her body at this moment, and her sharp and piercing eyes shot towards the people who were speaking.

"Repeat to me what you just said!"

Several people were suddenly shocked. At this moment, they were all intimidated by the cold aura of Xiahou Jiuyue. They felt a chill on their backs, as if they were in an ice cellar, and they dared not even breathe.

"What? Have you all become mute? I saw you were talking happily just now, why are you all silent?" Xiahou Jiuyue said sarcastically with a cold look.

No matter how Xiahou Jiuyue mocked them, they all kept their heads down, not daring to say a word, let alone look directly into Xiahou Jiuyue's cold eyes.

"Okay, since you guys don't want to talk about it, then I'll tell you."

"First of all, this pavilion is for the public. We can come whenever we want. It can't belong to anyone just because we get there first. Or did you all pool your money to build this pavilion?"

"You..." The girl in yellow was about to refute, but when she met Xiahou Jiuyue's freezing eyes, she couldn't finish the words.

Seeing this, someone stepped forward and said slowly, "The lady is right. We are being rude. This pavilion is a place for everyone to rest. There is no reason for it to be occupied."

Xiahou Jiuyue glanced at the man with cold eyes and continued her previous topic.

"I think you all know what you said just now. I don't want to waste any more time on this. Let's start by apologizing!"

Hearing this, everyone just lowered their heads, looking at each other, and no one stepped forward to apologize.

"I'll say this one last time. Apologize. If you don't, I can't guarantee what will happen next."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and no longer cared about whether it was embarrassing or not. They all rushed to apologize to Xiahou Jiuyue.

"I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn."

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."

"sorry."

"I'm sorry, I hope the lady won't bother with us."

"You've got the wrong person. The person you need to apologize to is not me." Xiahou Jiuyue interrupted.

“!!!” Everyone was stunned.

Afterwards, everyone reacted quickly and rushed to Ye Xingchen, saying sorry with red faces, saying that they were blind and asking for forgiveness.

This was the first time Ye Xingchen encountered such a situation, and he seemed a little at a loss.

Seeing this, Xiahou Jiuyue frowned slightly. Finally, she had to step forward and rescue him from the crowd.

Xiahou Jiuyue ignored the people around her and asked Ye Xingchen with concern: "Are you tired? You've been walking for so long. Do your feet hurt?"

"Not bad." Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen felt warm and touched by Xiahou Jiuyue's care and protection.

But at the same time, he felt very strange in his heart. When facing Xiahou Jiuyue, he always felt a little unnatural and weird in his heart.

"That's good. You should have a good rest then."

After saying that, Xiahou Jiuyue didn't care what everyone else said. She leaned back, rested her back against a column, closed her eyes and rested.

No one in the pavilion said anything for a while. Some people looked at Xiahou Jiuyue carefully and then turned away.

They are all embarrassed today.

Seeing their companions leave, some people were very ashamed and angry, but they did not dare to anger Xiahou Jiuyue, so they had to catch up with their companions in a hurry. Before leaving, they glared at Xiahou Jiuyue and the other two fiercely.

Xiahou Jiuyue didn't bother to care about the group of people leaving. She was too tired. She had spent most of the morning walking and her legs almost didn't belong to her.

What's more, now is the time when the sun is the hottest and most scorching, and she doesn't want to get heatstroke.

In the pavilion, breeze from the lake blows by, bringing coolness, making the hot climate a little cooler. The hot air always makes people feel sleepy.

Look, Xiahou Jiuyue, who had relaxed all over, felt a little tired unknowingly.

So, she said lazily, "Fuyin, I'm a little sleepy now. I want to take a nap. If anything happens later, please wake me up."

Xiahou Jiuyue was too lazy to even lift her eyelids. There was nothing she could do. She felt tired, hot, and sleepy.

"Yes, ma'am."

Fu Yin walked gently to Xiahou Jiuyue and said softly, "Miss, please lean on me, it will be better."

"No, you should sit down and have a good rest too! I'm fine like this, don't worry about me."

Seeing this, Fu Yin had no choice but to say, "Yes."

At the same time, inside the palace.

The palace maids who were ordered by Ling Guijun to look for someone in the Imperial Garden were now panicking behind the rockery with anxious looks on their faces.
