I Want to be Alone, Beautifully

Hearing this voice, Xu Jiao turned to look.

Just in time for her to see the main character who was supposed to be praised by the courtiers and blessed by foreign envoys at the palace banquet, the regent Yu Ye.

The phrase "beautiful meeting privately" still lingers in Xu Jiao's mind.

At this moment, Nie Yunyue also looked at the person. He had grown into a young man who had lived in the court all year round, and he was able to hide all his emotions. As the chief culprit of the prisoner, his face was very calm, but his eyes changed, and he bowed his hands politely to Yu Ye:

"General Yu."

Yu Ye glanced at him, then went to look at Xu Jiao, and heard the little prince explain lightly: "Just now I ate too much at the palace banquet, and I went out for a walk to digest food, but Lord Yu is now a hero of Dayan. He is also the protagonist of tonight's banquet, why did he come out?"

Hearing Xu Jiao's words, Yu Ye replied coldly: "There are some urgent matters at Jinyiwei."

Xu Jiao nodded, and said politely, "My lord, it's hard work." Afterwards, without saying hello to Nie Yunyue, she took the people around her to the direction of the East Palace, not intending to deal with such a grand event as the banquet.

Then again, what does it matter if she is a prince without real power, whether she is at the banquet or not?

Wouldn't it be good to read more books if you have this time to watch those people play on the spot?

Xu Jiao was thinking about an official history narrative she had read a few days ago, and led the servants to walk back at a much faster pace. After Nie Yunyue also left, Yu Ye looked at the same spot, and could only see the long road behind the crown prince's guard of honor. The light of the palace lanterns in the hands of the palace people is like a swimming snake or a long dragon.

She didn't know why she found an excuse to subconsciously follow Xu Jiao when she saw Xu Jiao leave the banquet, maybe she wanted to see if Xu Jiao had changed during her absence.

Now that I think about it——

This His Royal Highness seems to have grown a bit taller.

Under the baggy clothes, it is not like the thin one who can only use the skeleton to support the clothes, but there is a little flesh, and the chin is no longer as sharp as before.

It's not bad.

A comment flashed across Yu Ye's mind.

The people around her saw her standing on the road for too long until there was no one around, so they couldn't help but boldly said with some doubts: "Master Yu..."

Yu Ye withdrew his gaze, and was reminded of something. Thinking of some court ministers secretly donating titles and selling officials that Jin Yiwei collected, the coldness in his eyes came up, and in the night, she softly said: :

"Let's go."

The servant nodded, silently quickened his pace to keep up with her movements, and could vaguely hear a question buried in the wind:

"My lord, those gifts..."

"Put it in the warehouse—as for the sender, after the investigation, they will be dismissed cleanly, and those with problems will be dealt with."

"Yes."

……

for a period of time afterward.

Except for the East Palace where she lives, Xu Jiao rarely goes out. After all, Yu Ye's aura in Dayan is now in full swing, and there are inevitably courtiers in the court who are very good at observing words. Wang, obviously investing in a prince who has no real power and is still a daughter is not such a promising thing.

Under such circumstances, if she had nothing to do and wandered around in front of the courtiers, or took the initiative to make some noise, it was inevitable that some people would move her based on the principle of sharing Yu Ye's worries and solving problems.

Yu Ye is so powerful now, just imagine if the only obstacle to her succession - Xu Jiao is removed, will anyone still be able to influence her to become the first female emperor in the history of Dayan?

No more.

Xu Jiao hadn't waited for Yu Ye's happy ending, and she didn't want to return to the system space so early. She was afraid that she would die too soon, and if there were other changes in Yu Ye's life later, she would no longer be able to interfere.

Fortunately, when Xu Jiao was an online writer, she was considered a dead house. She stayed in a world for a long time, and she didn't find it so boring. She flipped through the books in her hand, and it quickly reached January.

Festive red palace lanterns are hung between the high eaves.

One night, Xu Jiao saw the dark sky, observed for a while and guessed that there would be snow at night, so she ordered people to prepare a thick cloak early, and secretly plated Dayan Palace with a layer of silver on the rustling white. While pretending, she took a few sporadic palace servants and walked outside the palace.

Falling snow always makes the world a quieter place.

Xu Jiao was wearing thick plush gloves, and there was a layer of rabbit fur-like snow-white fleece collar between her neck, which made her cheeks small and cute, as if they were no bigger than a slap of an adult, and even her facial features were exquisite. The eyebrows that the best craftsmen in China can't carve.

Even if there is someone beside her holding an umbrella to block the snow particles above her head, as long as there is a slight gust of wind, some mischievous fish that slipped through the net will float onto her shoulders and hair, and quietly turn into a little moisture. Mark of.

Xu Jiao followed the location of a red plum in her memory.

Under the palace wall, her bright red cloak almost blended with the high wall.

But just after turning the corner, she was a little surprised to find a figure standing far away under the plum tree with zigzagging stems. The man was wearing a dark silver cloak, and she could vaguely see the dark lines of the green bamboo on it. In the quiet snow, there is also a sense of loneliness.

After a little distance, Xu Jiao glanced at the figure, turned around and walked back without warning.

The palace man who held the umbrella for her saw her turn around, her eyes were stunned for a moment, and then she said: "Your Highness, didn't you want to see this beautiful scene of red plums and snow, why are you approaching now, but why are you so close?" Changed your mind again?"

Xu Jiao narrowed her eyes.

Before she could speak, Nie Yunyue, who had been sculpted in the snow for a long time, turned around with obvious surprise in her eyes, and then she took the initiative to walk in Xu Jiao's direction, holding an inlaid handle in her hand. The folding fan of white beautiful jade is obviously used for comparison in this freezing scenery.

He cupped his hands towards Xu Jiao: "His Royal Highness, we meet again."

Xu Jiao's eyes swept over the palace people around her, and she already guessed in her heart that her impromptu visit tonight had already been revealed by someone with a heart. If the previous meeting with Nie Yunyue after the palace banquet was just a Coincidentally, now that the other party is bumping into her one after another, no matter how stupid Xu Jiao is, she still knows that she was deliberately hit by the other party.

Even knowing that she was being calculated, she was not too nervous, she nodded calmly, but the first sentence she uttered was:

"Master Nie, if I were you, I would never be happy just because I met Prince Dayan."

Nie Yunyue blinked her eyes, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Xu Jiao's words, a faint smile appeared on her face: "I don't know what your Highness means by this?"

Obviously he is also the prince of the Liang country, but because he is now a hostage in the enemy country, he has to show such politeness when facing Xu Jiao, who is of the same status as himself. What.

He thought that the crown prince of Dayan was easy to control, and he even planned to use Xu Jiao as a pawn to help her fight Yu Ye, disrupt Dayan's situation, and use the chaos to return to his home country.

Unexpectedly, this little prince who was raised in the deep palace and rarely appeared in the court hall looked at him as if he understood everything, and his clear eyes were full of clarity.

Nie Yunyue heard her say: "First, Yu Ye is not stupid, and second, I am not as stupid as you think."

After saying these two sentences, Xu Jiao lost interest in Pinmei, turned around and walked back, just took two steps, the rustling snowflakes fell on her head, soon covered with a layer of silver.

A little clamminess spread over her head.

She turned her head to the side and saw that Gong'e, who was holding the umbrella for her, hadn't reacted yet, she raised her hand and snatched the umbrella bone from her hand, and walked back by herself.

It wasn't until the palm of his hand was empty that the palace man realized what had happened, walked quickly towards her with the hem of his skirt, and whispered: "Your Highness!"

Xu Jiao paused for a while, her eyes were still looking at the way she came from, but her voice was directed at the maid next to her: "You don't have to follow, the East Palace doesn't keep food, so serve your new master well. "

That Gong'e was taken aback when she heard this, and panicked inexplicably flashed in her heart, no matter how cold the snowy world was, she immediately knelt down and said to Xu Jiao:

"Your Highness! The slaves don't understand!"

But Xu Jiao didn't respond to her anymore, and only left her with a back that was fading away.

……

After returning to the palace.

Xu Jiao walked into the hall where the earth dragon was laid, and someone beside her came up to take off her cloak. Even though her expression hadn't changed, the people in this palace were all human beings. It was because she was in a bad mood at the moment, so there was only the crackling sound of the lotus-shaped candle lamp in the corner being burned.

Her eyes swept over the faces of the palace people around her one by one, as if she wanted to see through their faces who else was an undercover agent in the palace. The light in the room was not clear, and at first glance, these people seemed to be faces. Vague ghosts generally hide in dark places.

Xu Jiao calmly withdrew her gaze, went straight to the inner hall, did not have any seizures, and just took a rest.

The next day, she woke up with a sore throat.

Xu was nestled in the East Palace all day long and didn't move much. Although her diet was carefully maintained every day, Xu Jiao's physique did not improve significantly. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, opened her eyes and wanted to sit down. When he got up, he suddenly found a figure in front of his bed.

There was a faint cold fragrance floating over from the opponent's body.

She squinted her eyes and saw who was coming——

It's Yu Ye.

Not far from the bed, the palace people knelt down silently.

Sensing the movement behind him, Yu Ye turned his face, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, like sharpened sharp blades, and even the sound was scraped into Xu Jiao's ears like a steel knife:

"His Royal Highness is finally willing to wake up? It seems that yesterday's date was enjoyable enough."

Xu Jiao raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, ignoring her eccentric tone, and she was not surprised that Yu Ye knew her movements, her eyes turned around the room, and quickly locked onto the wooden table over there Put the teapot and cups on the table, throw off the quilt and get ready to go under the bed.

But before his feet stepped on the ground, Yu Ye pressed his shoulders.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but His Highness has become more and more arrogant. Sitting here talking to you, you are ignoring all the wind?"

Xu Jiao took a deep breath.

She turned her head to meet Yu Ye, as if she had exhausted all her patience to suppress the pain in her throat and the irritability in her mind, and then she spoke in an extremely hoarse voice:

"Master Yu."

"If things are not in a hurry, can I have a drink of water before answering your question?"

Hearing her rustling voice, Yu Ye always felt a little harsh, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He looked at Xu Jiao for a second, but she still didn't let go. Instead, she looked at the palace servant not far away body.

Someone was shaken by her gaze, but they had already comprehended her instructions. They moved back a few steps with their knees rubbed against each other, and then carefully bowed up, poured a cup of warm tea for Xu Jiao and handed it to the bed. forward.

Xu Jiao raised her hand to take it, moistened her throat, and heard Yu Ye say, "The imperial doctor has come to see it. Your Highness is suffering from a cold, and the medicine has been fried in the back kitchen. It's just—— can your Highness tell me, Recently, you didn’t leave the gate of the palace, why did you suddenly become interested in going out on a snowy night?”

Xu Jiao didn't want to play tricks on her, she said bluntly: "Master Yu should know who I met yesterday, why bother to ask again?"

If Yu Ye wanted to kill her, put a hat of "communist-enemy" on her head, and let Jin Yiwei bribe the palace servants around her to give false testimony at will, Xu Jiao would definitely die and couldn't die again.

If Yu Ye didn't mean to kill her, then it doesn't matter if she said it or not.

Xu Jiao found that she didn't want to deal with this guy anymore.

really tired.

Yu Ye hooked his lips, showing a smile that was not a smile: "The minister did send some people to guard His Highness, but His Highness did not bring too many people with him last night. I am afraid that what they recounted is not true, so I am here to report to His Highness." Ask for proof, lest someone slander His Highness's innocence."

Xu Jiao looked at the teacup in her hand, thinking whether it would be okay to just knock the heroine unconscious and go to the next book.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Yu Ye thought she was refusing to answer his question, so he turned his eyes to the palace people at his feet, picked someone at random and asked, "Tell me, for whom did His Highness go out yesterday? ?”

The palace maid, Xu Jiao, didn't have much impression, and she couldn't even tell what position the other party held in the palace.

As soon as she raised her eyes, Xu Jiao heard her say: "I don't know... It's just that yesterday His Royal Highness said that he wanted to appreciate the plum blossoms, and the servants followed him, only to find that Nie Yunyue, the crown prince of the Liang Kingdom, happened to be there too."

This sounds really clever.

It was as if Xu Jiao deliberately asked someone to meet there.

Yu Ye raised his brows and asked again: "Do you know what crime is for slandering the royal family?"

The palace woman trembled immediately, knelt on the ground and kept shouting: "Master Yu, spare me! This servant dare not! Everything this servant said is true!"

Yu Ye just shook his head and ordered someone to drag her down.

Then softly said: "Stick-kill."

If another person were to be the prince, he would definitely tremble, thinking that Yu Ye was trying to scare others, and even had a sense of crisis, either to intercede for the next person, or to give birth to both, but Xu Jiao calmly Seeing her asking some people one after another like this, and dragging them down to kill them all, she actually saw something.

Among these guys, some of them should overlap with the ones she suspected to be inserted yesterday.

Yu Ye...

Actually helping her clean the door?

Why do you want to do this?It would be great to find a reason to kill her, and then simply take over by myself, why bother?

Xu Jiao couldn't figure it out, but because Yu Ye's attitude was not aimed at her, she changed her mind a little bit. When Yu Ye looked over with a smile and asked her about the appointment last night, she actually changed the sentence no. Then the stinging words opened:

"Go to this natural covenant between heaven and earth."

"It's the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, and the plum blossoms are in full bloom. If you don't go to see one, wouldn't you let down the beauty of this good day?"

Seeing her indifferent expression, Yu Ye asked again: "Oh? Then what does Your Highness think about Nie Yunyue's appearance?"

Xu Jiao glanced at her, and continued to speak with her own bad voice: "He is seventeen years old, and he is almost a weak crown. In Liang Guo, he should be able to attend the court with Liang Wang. If there is no mistake, he should have inherited the throne. But this time Daliang was defeated by Qi, Chu, and Yan in a surprise attack, and he was pressed as a hostage. From my observation, his behavior is not that kind of stuff, but he must have prepared some "little gifts" for Dayan .”

"The reason for meeting me one after another is probably because I think he looks good, and I'm a woman who hasn't seen much in the deep palace, so I should be a good pawn for him."

Yu Ye laughed for no reason.

There are stars shining in his eyes.

When Jin Yiwei came to report the news last night, even if someone recounted all the conversations between Xu Jiao and Nie Yunyue, she still couldn't help being suspicious. I don't want to see myself picking the wrong person again this time.

Yu Ye was actually a little contradictory.

So she couldn't help but come to test Xu Jiao.

But did not expect ...

This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once again exceeded her expectations.

make her feel—

It seems that Dayan's throne should be prepared for this person.

Yu Ye was distracted for only a moment, but soon came back to her senses. She followed Xu Jiao's words and received with great interest: "Oh? Then what does Your Highness think of Nie Yunyue's appearance?"

Xu Jiao glanced at her, her eyes showed a bit of bewilderment, she didn't know why this person went wrong while interrogating, but she still answered patiently:

"not bad--"

After all, being handsome is standard for a male lead.

"It's just that the beauty trick is using the wrong person."

Yu Ye raised his brows: "Oh? Your Highness the Crown Prince has someone he likes? Can you know?" If he didn't have someone he likes, how could he not be attracted to a man like Nie Yunyue?

She wanted to see how Xu Jiao defended herself.

Xu Jiao put the empty teacup beside her, and said in a casual tone, "It doesn't matter if there is someone you like or not, but Nie Yunyue would rather send someone who looks smarter than Nie Yunyue herself to seduce me." The servant girl is useful."

Yu Ye: "..."

Yu Ye: "?"

For a moment, she wondered what was wrong with her comprehension.

What did His Royal Highness just say?She said that Nie Yunyue was no more attractive to her than a maid?

What does it mean?

"Your Highness's words—" Yu Ye was quiet for two seconds, then spoke again slowly.

Xu Jiao interrupted her directly, and met Yu Ye's gaze with scorching eyes: "It means that I don't like men, Master Yu, can you rest assured now?"

Have you tried enough?Don't you suspect that she is collaborating with the enemy?

However, Yu Ye was blocked by the word "rest assured" in her words, and his thoughts were distorted.

The first thought that popped into my mind was:

As expected of the Xu family, he was indeed a lunatic.

Immediately, when I was with Xu Jiao earlier, some strange conversations came to my mind:

"Send you to bed."

"to whom?"

"I."

"Oh, Mr. Yu has good taste."

……

"Could it be that you actually fell in love with my beauty and wanted to feel the pleasure of crushing the royal family under you, so you gave me a chance to survive ingeniously?"

"Master Yu, do you really want me to sleep with you?"

"Master Yu is really hard to please."

"A few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received news from the palace, saying that the adults did not touch the meat at the dining table. I guessed that you might not like meat, so I specially gave the kitchen some recipes..."

……

All kinds of things that seemed a little crazy to her in the past were matched one by one.

It turned out that His Royal Highness actually liked women.

And what Xu Jiao said earlier, "It means I don't like men, can Master Yu rest assured?"

Don't worry about what?

Is it...

The person Xu Jiao likes turns out to be...

is her?

Yu Ye's heart skipped a beat due to his guess, and he didn't even bother to wait for Xu Jiao's medicine to be cooked, so he just found an excuse and came out of the East Palace.

Walking on the road, a subordinate beside him asked a lot: "My lord, there are now a group of palace people missing in the East Palace, do you want my subordinates to pick some people to send over?"

The purpose of sending them there was naturally to monitor Xu Jiao.

Yu Ye paused a bit: "Choose some who are skilled and loyal enough."

This is what it means not to arrange people.

The subordinate was at a loss for a moment, thinking that Yu Ye didn't seem to think so when he came to the East Palace earlier: "This..."

Yu Ye thought for a while, but then added: "You send someone to send it directly, His Royal Highness may be worried, and you can just let the steward in the palace take him away another day, and let His Highness choose the one he likes. One point, the identities of those palace officials have been checked carefully, if His Highness makes a mistake, I will ask you."

"Obey." The subordinate finally stopped talking.

But Yu Ye raised his hand to fan himself while walking.

It seems that it is not in the middle of winter, but in the middle of summer.

Her dark eyes rarely showed a bit of distress, and she was thinking seriously:

Xu Jiao's sexual orientation, how can she get over it?

But what she likes is herself, and she should fall in love with herself at first sight. If she is rudely pushed to other people, or put some sensible male pets there, she will definitely be displeased.

It's no wonder that the prince was Linglong and obedient before, but now Yu Ye finally understands the key to it——

Because Xu Jiao likes her.

So I want to show her a good side, but never do anything to betray her.

Thinking of this, Yu Ye sighed softly, feeling that this question was a bit tricky, and his mind was occupied by this big doubt. To sum it up:

Please!Wait online!How can I tactfully reject her without hurting a person, and make her continue to listen to me in the future?
