The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

The drizzle fell, wetting the grass and trees.

Obviously this is not a good weather to read outside.

The overly energetic teenager next door also knew this, and was tactful enough not to climb over the wall to disturb them.

The princess's mansion welcomed the long-lost peace and quiet.

Yu Han brought the freshly made pastries from the kitchen and placed them on the table in front of Yiqing. She did not leave immediately, but looked a little hesitant.

"You seem to have something to say?" Yiqing picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, her gestures full of elegance and nobility, "There are no outsiders here, and there is no need to be so restrained in front of me, just say whatever you want to say."

Yu Han hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "I dare to ask if the princess is interested in Mr. Xie?"

Yiqing paused chewing, then looked up in astonishment, "How could you have such a ridiculous idea?"

Fortunately, this body has been accustomed to chewing food slowly since childhood, otherwise she would have been choked by Yu Han's fear just now.

"The princess doesn't like Master Xie?!" Yu Han was a little surprised.

She bravely stared at Yiqing's face for a while, and was sure that there was only astonishment and confusion on his face, without any guilt or shyness, so she guessed that she must have misunderstood.

But she still couldn't figure it out, "Why did the princess tolerate Master Xie's barging into the mansion so recklessly these days?"

Yiqing felt a little puzzled, "Didn't I send guards to capture him? It's just that he was so good at escaping that he was not caught." Yu Han obviously knew all these things, so she shouldn't have such a misunderstanding.

"He repeatedly trespassed into the princess's mansion and was disrespectful to the princess. Each of these is a crime. If the princess wanted to punish him, even if the guards in the mansion could not arrest him, they could report him to His Majesty and let His Majesty punish him. But the princess did not do so.

Even though you were extremely angry, you only sent guards to chase him. Even when Commander Liu suggested setting a trap to trap him the day before, you rejected it.

If it weren't for love, I can't think of any other reason why the princess would be so lenient with him."

The royal majesty cannot be trampled upon. The princess is kind-hearted but not soft-hearted, and she is never the type to submit to anything that comes her way.

She had served the princess for so long, and she had only seen Master Xie, who could be rude to the princess and still get away with it.

He is just a playboy, why would the princess treat him so specially?

Yu Han couldn't understand.

With her status, she had no right to question her master's decision, but since the princess gave her the opportunity to ask, she always wanted to find out.

"When I was young, I was dressed in fine clothes and riding a fierce horse. I walked forward fearlessly." Thinking of Xie Feichi, these words naturally came to Yiqing's mind.

Seeing Yu Han's puzzled look, Yi Qing spoke softly, "He is an unlearned and unskillful playboy in the eyes of the world, but I admire his carefree and carefree way of living. It is true that what he did was not appropriate, but it cannot be called a crime. Why should we be too harsh on him?"

If she went to the emperor to complain, the emperor would definitely punish her in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

By then, the young man will be punished and forced to reflect on himself. At the age when he is most full of vigor and vitality, he will be gradually educated by reality to become a boring adult who abides by the rules and knows respect for hierarchy... It's really a pity just thinking about it.

Xie Feichi is a playboy, but he is not a bad person.

He may be rude and his words may be flawed, but he will not offend anyone if it is feasible.

At least during the time when he climbed over the wall, he never did anything to Yiqing that would damage her reputation. At all times, the two of them would always keep at least three steps away from each other.

Yiqing hates being disturbed, but she doesn't hate her rebellious youth.

What's more, if you spend a long time with such people, you will be infected and feel like you are back in your teenage years.

——Although her current body is indeed only in her teens.

But before she met Xie Feichi, she was not childish enough to argue with others, nor could she resist even the most superficial provocation.

Although there is some acting in it, it is also somewhat real.

Thinking about what happened a while ago, Yiqing didn't even notice that the corners of her lips actually curled up slightly.

"I don't quite understand what the princess means."

Yu Han had not read many books and she entered the palace early. She learned to be humble and submissive when she should have been young and resolute. Therefore, she could not understand Yiqing's desire to maintain the youthful spirit of a person, nor could she resonate with such an idea.

After thinking for a while with a frown on her face, she asked tentatively, "Princess, do you want to say that Mr. Xie's offense is different from that of the eunuchs in the palace who bullied the princess when she was young, and the third princess who always made things difficult for the princess, so your way of handling it is also different?"

Yiqing thought about it and said, "You can understand it this way.

I will fight back against those who harbor ill will towards me. But Xie Feichi has no ill will towards me, so I don’t need to be too harsh on him.”

After this explanation, Yu Han could understand.

Although she still felt that any offense should be punished, she would not question any of the princess's decisions.

When her ideas conflicted with those of the princess, she would simply suppress her own ideas deep in her heart and never let them see the light of day.

"Can I ask one more question?"

"You ask."

"Princess likes quietness. Since you think Master Xie is noisy, why don't you go to another courtyard to read?"

The princess was already generous enough not to hold him accountable for trespassing into her mansion.

But Yu Han always felt that it was impossible for the princess to be willing to change her habits for him.

Based on her understanding of the princess, there must be other reasons.

Is it because of Mr. Xie’s provocation before?

No, the princess is not someone who would compromise herself for the sake of face.

Even if you are impulsive for a moment, you will always calm down afterwards.

"Because I want to be on good terms with him."

"..."

For a moment, Yu Han thought there was something wrong with her ears, otherwise how could she hear the princess say that she wanted to make friends with a playboy?

She couldn't help but ask the same question again, "Princess, do you really, really dislike Master Xie?"

After asking, she regretted it.

Asking the same question twice made it seem as if he had not listened carefully to the princess's answer before, and as if he was questioning the princess's previous answer.

Will the princess be angry?

Yu Han raised her eyes nervously, and then saw Yi Qing smiling at her, "Yu Han, do you think that all the specialness and desire to get close to someone in this world are just due to the heartbeat?"

"I……"

"You have a pure heart, so you have such pure thoughts." Yiqing said, "But you have to know that there are not so many pure feelings in this world. Many times, people's choices and decisions are based on one word - profit. Profitability is the biggest reason why a person wants to get close to another person."

Although the tone was gentle, the words made people feel inexplicably cold.

Yu Han thought that it must be because it was raining outside, so everything around him felt cool.

She was silent for a moment, then spoke softly: "You are a princess, but he is just a playboy." What could there be in him that is worthy of the princess's covetousness?

"Yuhan, if I remember correctly, you were the one I sent to check his identity after he climbed over the wall for the second time."

"Yes."

It wasn't long after this happened, and Yu Han still remembered how he reported the result to the princess.

The student who climbed over the wall from the academy was named Xie Feichi, sixteen years old, the only son of General Xie, and a well-known playboy in Kyoto. He was usually unlearned and unmotivated, and was good at eating, drinking and having fun.

Yiqing said softly: "He is General Xie's only son."

Seeing that Yu Han still didn't quite understand, she spoke more bluntly, "Winning him over is equivalent to having the support of the General's Mansion."

"What does the princess need the help of the general's mansion for?"

Because General Xie has the military power.

And assisting the new emperor to ascend the throne also requires military power.

But this reason cannot be told to others, so Yiqing didn't say anything else.

Yu Han also realized that this was not the question he should ask, so he tactfully shut his mouth.
