Why hasn't His Highness written a letter of divorce?

In the next few days, Xiao Chopsticks did not release any tasks, so Jiang Qingning just shrank in her room and did not run to find Xiao Che again.

The last time Xiao Che admitted his mistake on paper, saying that he would try his best to forget Jiang Xuanping, and that he would never do any overreaching things in the future, and would never go out to private meetings again. Jiang Qingning panicked at that time, thinking that this was not the result he wanted at all.

He hoped that the more Xiao Che loved Jiang Xuanping in his heart, the better he would hate himself, but the reality was not as he wished.

After staying in the room for a few days, after reading a sadomasochistic love story book, Jiang Qingning's face was full of sorrow.

How can Xiao Che let him sleep?

I simply escaped from the prince's mansion.

Xiao Chopsticks said that he was not allowed to offer to be divorced, but he didn't say that he couldn't just run away.

Jiang Qingning went out and stood in the yard, looking at the high red wall, feeling eager to try.

He studied law in reality, and his original dream was to be a fair and just judge after graduation. Now in ancient times, even if he couldn't be a parent officer, he could still be a lawyer to uphold justice for the people.

But remembering the tragic experience he had after running out of the Prime Minister's Mansion last time, Jiang Qingning decided to collect some gold and silver before leaving, and return the silver after getting mixed up.

When Jiang Qingning went back, he immediately dispatched all the slaves and maidservants in the house, and Xiao Xun was also sent by him to wash twenty pieces of clothes.

Jiang Qingning took a burden and was about to start looking for valuable things.

……

Xiao Che didn't see Jiang Qingning coming over for a few days, he couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly said to his attendant Han Yun: "Push me to the princess's side."

Han Yun stepped forward: "Your Highness wants to take the initiative to start cultivating feelings with the princess?"

Xiao Che didn't like others guessing his thoughts, after falling from the clouds to the mire, he couldn't really trust anyone.

Seeing that His Highness the Sixth Prince did not respond, Han Yun wisely stopped speaking, and stepped forward respectfully to push Xiao Che.

Xiao Che's wheelchair was parked outside Jiang Qingning's house. He was wondering why there was no one in the main courtyard, so he asked Han Yun in sign language to push him into the house.

He saw Jiang Qingning sitting on the ground with a dejected face, with an empty bag beside him.

Jiang Qingning was extremely depressed at this meeting, the Sixth Prince's Mansion was really too shabby, so shabby that he couldn't find anything of value after searching for a long time, how could he escape without money.

Jiang Qingning was so heartbroken that he didn't notice Xiao Che's arrival at all. He suddenly saw a wheelchair stop in front of him.

Jiang Qingning suddenly raised her head, and met Xiao Che's extremely handsome face.

It's really shameful to see, even if Jiang Qingning firmly believes that she doesn't like men, she can't help but be shocked by this face.

"Your Highness." Jiang Qingning said in a daze, and he quickly got up from the ground, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Xiao Che smiled gently, and pointed to the outside of the room.

Han Yun translated: "His Sixth Highness wants to invite you to go out of the mansion together."

Jiang Qingning thought that was just right, and said, "Okay, I'm just feeling bored."

Seeing Xiao Che looking at the empty bag on the ground, Jiang Qingning hastily concealed it and said: "I think this bag is a little dirty, I think I'll let Xiao Xun wash it later."

Just at this time, Xiao Xun came back after washing twenty pieces of clothes, and was happily going to salute Xiao Che and Jiang Qingning.

Jiang Qingning pointed to the burden on the ground and said to him: "It's just in time for you to come back, so take this and wash it."

Xiao Xun: "... promise." Walking over to pick up the burden on the ground, he thought aggrievedly, he is a slave who takes care of his master, not a slave who washes clothes, why the princess asked him to do these coolies.

Jiang Qingning had packed everything up and was ready to happily go to the door with Xiao Che. Before leaving, he warned Little Chopsticks: "During the time I'm out, you're not allowed to post any weird tasks."

The little chopsticks are weak: "I will try my best."

……

Sitting in the sedan chair after going out, Jiang Qingning was feeling bored, when she suddenly felt Xiao Che stretch out his hand and stuffed something into her mouth, a sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth.

Jiang Qingning looked at Xiao Che in surprise.

Xiao Che picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "This is the caramel tribute from the Northern Prefecture. When I was in the palace, I secretly hid a few. It's delicious. You can try it."

At that time, sugar was still a very precious thing, and Jiang Qingning hadn't tasted it for a long time, and the sweet taste immediately made people feel happy.

Jiang Qingning tasted it carefully for a while, and wrote on the paper: "It's very sweet, thank you Your Highness."

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Che's mouth, and he wrote again: "As long as you like it, I still have a few. After I go back, I will send someone to send them to you."

Jiang Qingning was flattered for a moment, and wrote: "Your Highness, what a shame..."

Before he could finish writing, Xiao Che stretched out his hand to hold his pen-holding hand.

Jiang Qingning was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Che's hands were a little cool, like warm jade, smooth and delicate without losing strength.

Jiang Qingning froze for a moment, then put down the pen, and Xiao Che's hand also loosened.

When they reached the street, the two got out of the sedan chair.

Xiao Che asked Han Yun to ask, "Where does the princess want to go?"

Jiang Qingning saw a calligraphy and painting workshop not far away, and said, "Let's go there and have a look."

The street was very lively, full of voices, a group of people squeezed through the crowded crowd, and finally came to this very elegant painting and calligraphy workshop.

One side sells books, story books, etc., and the other side sells scrolls and picture scrolls.

Jiang Qingning walked over and picked out a few story books first, and Xiao Che also picked out a few books.

After paying the bill, Jiang Qingning looked at the calligraphy and picture scrolls sold on the other side of the workshop, and was also very interested, and wanted to go and have a look.

"Let's go look at the calligraphy and painting again." He pointed there and said.

Jiang Qingning caught a glimpse of a landscape painting. He walked over to appreciate it and said, "The scenery in the scroll is really magnificent, like a fairyland. Although the colors used are monotonous, the artistic conception is profound. It is wonderful. It is enough to see that the painter has a profound foundation."

Seeing this, the folks in the shop immediately came over and echoed: "This young master has a good eye. This painting was passed down from the palace. It was painted by a prince of the current dynasty. I dare not say the name of the prince, young master. But see for yourself."

"Really?" Jiang Qingning looked at the painting curiously.

On the bottom right of the painting scroll was the artist's signature. Jiang Qingning was looking at the line of small characters when Xiao Che suddenly coughed uncomfortably and reached out to touch him, as if trying to pull him away.

But Jiang Qingning had already seen clearly the inscription in the small print - Xiao Che.

"..." Jiang Qingning was taken aback for a moment, turned her head to look at Xiao Che in surprise, her eyes sparkled, and murmured, "I really didn't expect that."

Xiao Che put his fingers on his lips and made a gesture of hissing, telling him to keep quiet, because there is a mixed crowd here, so it is not easy for people to know his identity.

Jiang Qingning understood and nodded lightly.

For the first time, the two did not use paper or ink, nor did they ask others to translate, they only communicated with each other through movements and eyes.

Jiang Qingning wandered around the painting room again, and found several other Xiao Che's handwriting, all of which are excellent works that make people's eyes shine.

Jiang Qingning couldn't help praising him. Although he doesn't know how to paint, his parents often took him to visit art exhibitions when he was a child, so he can appreciate it in a clear way.

After coming out of the calligraphy and painting workshop, Jiang Qingning was still thinking about those few paintings by Xiao Che just now.

He originally thought that Xiao Che was just good-looking, but he didn't expect that Xiao Che had such a superb painter.

On Xiao Che's face was a gentle, unobtrusive look, it seemed that Jiang Qingning came to the calligraphy and painting workshop by himself and saw those paintings by accident, but in fact all of these were arranged by Xiao Che.

The first step in gaining a man's favor is to let him discover his own excellence.

Those paintings were all painted by Xiao Che. Since he was a child, he was extremely intelligent, so he was loved by Emperor Yong'an very much.

He himself disdains to show off these things, but now he wants Jiang Qingning to like him.

On the way back, Jiang Qingning had a whim and wrote on the paper: "Is Your Highness free these days? Can you draw a portrait for me?"

He was thinking that with Xiao Che's strength, he would definitely become famous in the future, and Xiao Che's paintings would definitely become more and more valuable. If he kept one for himself, it would be a lot of money in the future.

Xiao Che felt that his plan must have worked, Jiang Qingning started to find excuses to get closer to him, of course he was very happy, and wrote on a piece of paper: "I'll be free tomorrow."

Jiang Qingning drew a smiling face on the paper, and added a sentence: "Thank you."

Xiao Che replied: "You're welcome."

The atmosphere between the two is getting better and better.

……

The next day, Jiang Qingning took care of herself, thinking that if Xiao Che's portrait of herself became a famous painting through the ages, then she might also be famous in history, so he wanted to be painted by Xiao Che with the most handsome appearance go.

Just as he was about to go out, Xiao Che's attendant, Han Yun, came over, carrying a small delicate box, and said, "This is brought to you by His Highness's servant."

"What is it?" Jiang Qingning opened it curiously, and murmured, "It turned out to be the caramel His Highness mentioned yesterday."

Xiao Che said that he would give him the rest, and he really sent them all over.

Jiang Qingning looked at these reddish-brown caramels, and remembered the sweet taste yesterday, and couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart.

He handed the box to Xiao Xun and said, "Go and put it away."

Xiao Xun stretched his neck to finally see what was inside, hurriedly took it, and ran back to put it away.

Jiang Qingning followed Han Yun to Xiao Che's side.

Han Yun said: "His Royal Highness said that today he will paint a portrait of you in the back garden. The scenery there is beautiful."

Jiang Qingning nodded: "Okay, I also think the garden is better, the air is comfortable, and you can draw while enjoying the flowers."

When he came to the garden, Xiao Che had already set up his easel in the pavilion in the courtyard. Today he was wearing a white robe with embroidered gold embroidery, and he looked a bit immortal.

Jiang Qingning walked over, grinned at Xiao Che, and asked: "Your Highness, where should I sit for you to draw, is it suitable?"

Han Yun relayed it to Xiao Che, and Xiao Che pointed to a chair in the pavilion.

Han Yun said: "Your Highness asked you to sit there."

Jiang Qingning was very cooperative: "Okay." He walked over and sat down.

Xiao Che looked at him, picked up his pen and began to draw on the paper.

Jiang Qingning originally thought that asking others to draw a portrait of himself was a simple matter, all he had to do was sit quietly, but soon he realized that this was not an easy task.

It is really a test of one's endurance to sit there without moving. Moreover, the most important thing is that Xiao Che has such a handsome face, and his deep eyes look at him affectionately from time to time. His face turned red when he saw it.

He knew in his heart that Xiao Che only looked at him to paint for himself, but physically he still felt ashamed and blushed uncontrollably.

Jiang Qingning just wanted to bury her head down.

Han Yundao: "Your Highness asks you to sit still and keep your head down."

Jiang Qingning: "...OK."

Jiang Qingning tried her best to straighten her body, but after a while, Han Yun said again: "Your Highness asked if you feel too hot, why is your face so red?"

"..." Jiang Qingning thought, I'm going to fuck your uncle, can I let people sit still.

He immediately regretted it, and shouldn't have had the idea of ​​asking Xiao Che to paint a portrait of himself, but now he is on the verge of taking it back, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "It's not hot, it's not hot at all." , I'm just a little thirsty."

After Han Yun told Xiao Che, he said, "Your Highness wants you to rest for a while."

Jiang Qingning: "Okay." Immediately her whole body went limp.

He didn't dare to look at Xiao Che again, he felt that his blushing was really embarrassing.They are all men, what is there for him to blush?

Jiang Qingning was very depressed, and was thinking about asking Xiao Xun to bring him a cup of tea, when a particularly beautiful finger with distinct knuckles stopped in front of him, and handed him a cup of tea.

Jiang Qingning thought that Xiao Xun finally had a wink, but when she looked up, the person she saw was Xiao Che.

Han Yun: "Your Highness said that you can drink a cup of tea when you are thirsty."

Jiang Qingning took it and said awkwardly, "Thank you."

Han Yun: "Your Highness said that you should not be nervous for a while, just be natural."

"Oh." Jiang Qingning thought to herself, I also want to be natural, if your highness hadn't been looking at me, why would I blush?

After Jiang Qingning finished her tea, she sat down on the chair, and Xiao Che also returned to her previous position.

The two stayed still and moved, and continued to paint.I didn't go back for lunch, so I just ate something casually in the garden.

By afternoon, the portrait was finally finished.

Feeling relieved, Jiang Qingning jumped up from the chair in an instant, and ran over to look at Xiao Che's painting for herself.

I saw the young man in the painting with delicate eyebrows and shining eyes, sitting on a chair with a red face and a lively look that couldn't be restrained.

"Your Highness has really brought the prince and concubine to life." Han Yun praised.

Xiao Xun also came over to flatter him and said, "His Sixth Highness draws really well."

Jiang Qingning looked at the painting, except for the fact that he was embarrassed by his own blushing, the painting really couldn't find any flaws.

Jiang Qingning looked at Xiao Che with sparkling eyes, and thought to herself, she had to put it away and buy it later when it was worth more.

But Xiao Che frowned, as if there was still some dissatisfaction.

Han Yun said: "His Royal Highness feels that there are still some things that need to be revised."

Jiang Qingning said: "Your Highness can take it back and modify it slowly. I will come to pick up the painting tomorrow, so I will go back now."

He really felt too tired. After sitting for a long time, his whole body was sore. He wanted to go back immediately to exercise his muscles and bones. He would be anxious to anyone who stopped him!

But what he didn't expect was that just as he got up, the little chopsticks dinged: "Today's mission, let the sixth prince draw another portrait of you."

"!" Jiang Qingning wanted to break the little chopsticks instantly, his expression was very painful, after a while, he could only grit his teeth and sit down.

"Your Highness." Jiang Qingning looked at Xiao Che, and said reluctantly, "Can you draw me another one?"

Xiao Che: "..."

He saw that Jiang Qingning's face was redder this time than last time, as if he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Could it be that he painted so well that the portrait himself felt ashamed?

Or did Jiang Qingning already like her a little bit, so she started to feel shy?

……

At night, lying on the couch, Jiang Qingning raised her sore arm, and scolded the little chopsticks: "Others are cheating on the father, you are cheating on the host, you are really not a good chopstick!"

The little chopsticks shook his bald head: "Let the sixth prince draw a picture of Aning, and the sixth prince may like Aning more."

Jiang Qingning was annoyed by it: "You think so simply, how can it be so easy to like someone? Although Xiao Che is deaf and dumb and sick, but he is so good-looking and good at drawing, how could he like me?"

Jiang Qingning would never think about this,

He only felt that Xiao Che was modest and kind, he was a very good person, and he was also a rare friend who made him feel comfortable getting along with him.

Well, just friends.

Jiang Qingning found a clear place for Xiao Che in her heart.

Even if he leaves here in the future and has the opportunity to take the imperial examination and become an official in the court, he can still work with Xiao Che as a colleague.

Xiao Che is kind and weak, so he must support Xiao Che in the future.

Jiang Qingning was thinking about Ling Yun's lofty ambitions,

Unknowingly, his eyelids sank, and he couldn't care less about criticizing the little chopsticks.

Two days later, Xiao Che sent Han Yun to send both paintings.

Jiang Qingning hung in the room admiring it for a while, and realized for the first time that she turned out to be pretty good-looking too.

He told Xiao Xun: "Put these two pictures away and put them in the safest place."

It will be a lot of money in the future.

Xiao Xun went to do it immediately.

Jiang Qingning was thinking, Xiao Che drew two portraits for him, so should he also reciprocate, and give Xiao Che something in return?

The little chopsticks just popped up at this time and said, "Today's task is to send a story book to the sixth prince."

Jiang Qingning slapped his thigh, and instantly got an idea, yes, he bought so many story books when he went to the calligraphy and painting workshop, he could give Xiao Che one as a gift in return, although the gift is light, but he has great affection.

Jiang Qingning thought about it, and immediately ordered Xiao Xun: "Go and find all the scriptures I bought."

Not long after, Xiao Xun came back with a lot of scripts: "Master, please take a look."

Jiang Qingning searched for a long time in the pile of books, and finally locked on a copy of "The Domineering Concubine and the Pretty Prince", "Let's just take it."

Jiang Qingning quickly found an exquisite wooden box, put the script into it, and left a note inside.

……

Recently, because of what happened last time, Feng Huwei had some rifts with Xiao Che.

But he still couldn't really get angry with Xiao Che, and he came here again today.

Xiao Che looked careless, and sat there reading a book in peace.

Feng Huwei had no choice but to speak first: "Is Your Highness still practicing martial arts?"

Xiao Che said coldly, "None."

Feng Huwei was angry: "Your Highness!"

Xiao Che also sighed. After a while, he finally put down the book and said to Feng Huwei, "Since I was ten years old, you have been by my side, teaching me martial arts, and taking care of my illnesses. In my heart, you should be Like a father."

Feng Huwei was taken aback for a moment, and quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, be careful, this subordinate is just a lowly person, and I absolutely cannot afford it."

Xiao Che sneered, but his tone was still sincere: "I know you are annoyed by my previous behavior, but how can you not know that I am just acting."

Feng Weiwei looked up at him instantly.

Xiao Che's fingernails sank into his palms: "I will never forget how the concubine mother died. I will never let anyone in the Jiang family go. No matter Jiang Xuanping or Jiang Qingning, they are just pawns."

"It turns out that this subordinate is stupid and didn't expect His Highness's true thoughts." Feng Huwei heaved a sigh of relief, but then, he felt a chill in his heart. How much His Sixth Highness used to trust and rely on him, but now he no longer Will tell him beforehand.

At this time, Jiang Qingning ran in from the outside holding the box.

Because he was afraid of missing the task completion time, he came in in a hurry, and those servants had not had time to report to Xiao Che.

Jiang Qingning only heard Feng Huwei knelt on the ground and said something on his mind, but didn't hear the specifics.

Thinking that he might have done something to make Xiao Che angry, he knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake.

Xiao Che also didn't expect Jiang Qingning to come in suddenly, and the familiar look of humility that Jiang Qingning was familiar with instantly returned to his face.

Seeing that Han Yun was gone, Jiang Qingning picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote: "In order to thank His Highness for giving me the two paintings, gifts are reciprocated, so I came here to give His Highness a gift in return. I hope His Highness will not dislike you."

After reading it, Xiao Che picked up a pen and paper, and asked curiously, "What is it?"

With a mysterious look, Jiang Qingning stuffed the box to Xiao Che, and wrote: "Your Highness, don't open it yet, and open it after I leave."

A smile floated on the corner of Xiao Che's mouth, and he picked up his pen: "Okay."

After Jiang Qingning finished the task, she turned around and glanced at Guard Feng, who was on the cold ground, and left quickly.

Xiao Che also forgot about Guard Feng at this time, he slowly opened the box with his fingers, and first saw a note in the box.

It said: "I see that Your Highness is reading some sage books every day. Your Highness is not tired. I feel tired. I need to read sage books, but I should also relax and read some relaxing and interesting books. Below the box is the book I gave to Your Highness. I hope that His Highness will smile often after seeing it."

Xiao Che couldn't control the smile at the corner of his mouth. When he saw the book "The Domineering Concubine and the Pretty Prince" inside, he froze at first, but then he felt funny again.

He looked at Feng Weiwei, and suddenly asked: "If a person finds an excuse to give you a gift, does it mean that he already has a crush on you?"
