The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 71 "Token of Love"

King Xuan suddenly raised his hand, hooked her cloak strap, pulled it forward, and then tied a knot.

King Xuan's fingers were very long and a little cold at night.

When tying the knot, he accidentally brushed Xue Qingyin's chin, and Xue Qingyin couldn't help but raise her head, breathing lighter.

After tying the knot, King Xuan said lightly: "That day, King Wei mentioned that he had a token of love with you."

Xue Qingyin wondered: "He made it up, right? Where did he get the token of love?"

"He said the same thing in front of my father. And this time, he was talking about your personal belongings."

Xue Qingyin stepped back in an instant, staring at King Xuan, and whispered: "Your Highness, are you suspicious of me?"

"No, I just want to ask clearly. Someone will naturally intercept this thing later."

Xue Qingyin sat back obediently.

She had just thought that he was doubting her chastity.

If that was the case, she would have left immediately.

Why marry? Marry shit.

Fortunately, King Xuan was very reliable.

Xue Qingyin pouted and said, "I really don't know what it is. I haven't met him many times..."

"If someone in the mansion stole it, give it to King Wei..."

In a flash, Xue Qingyin remembered something.

Her expression suddenly became very strange, and she said, "I lost a personal item."

King Xuan unconsciously clenched his fingertips, and a little murderous aura overflowed between his eyebrows.

Xue Qingyin said, "I lost a foot towel."

King Xuan: "..."

Xue Qingyin met his eyes and was also speechless.

King Xuan: "... It's okay."

At that moment, he suspected that King Wei's brain was dug out and replaced with tofu during his growth, so he would do such a ridiculous and ridiculous thing.

Xue Qingyin exhaled lightly, with some coolness in the night.

"Your Highness, are you going back now?" she asked.

The King twisted his fingertips lightly.

Did she not want him to leave so soon?

But His Highness King Xuan had never had the experience of relaxing and chatting with others.

The carriage was very quiet for a while.

Oh, my legs are numb.

Xue Qingyin wanted to change her sitting posture, so she stretched her legs, but bumped into the wall of the carriage.

The King quickly leaned over and pressed her knees.

Xue Qingyin hurriedly said, "It was just a slight bump, nothing happened."

But after she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong and licked her lips.

Shouldn't she pretend to be more pitiful?

"Is the previous injury healed?" The voice of the King Xuan sounded in her ears.

Xue Qingyin collected her thoughts, nodded, and praised generously: "The medicine sent by Your Highness is very effective, and I got better early." After that, she added with a firm tone: "I will ride again next time."

King Xuan responded with a "yes", and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to soften.

The carriage was quiet again for a while.

Xue Qingyin thought that a primary school student's love affair might be more exciting than sitting here.

She licked her lips again, thinking about saying a few words by herself, but the voice of King Xuan sounded first.

"How is the Xu family?" King Xuan asked.

Xue Qingyin leaned against the wall of the carriage and said: "They liked my father more, but now, they like me more. Naturally, they are eager to please me and flatter me. In this way, life will be much more comfortable. Your Highness, do you think my face looks much better today?"

King Xuan's eyes naturally fell on her face.

His eyes were cold.

Perhaps he was born without knowing how to become gentle.

When he passed by Xue Qingyin, it was not like the gaze of a lover, but more like a scrutiny.

Xue Qingyin unconsciously felt a fine chill on her body.

But she held back.

"... Well." King Xuan said in a deep voice. After saying that, he seemed to think that this word was too thin, so he added: "It's better."

A wind lantern was hung on the corner of the carriage.

The wind lantern swayed gently, and the candlelight swayed with it, flowing across Xue Qingyin's face, illuminating her eyebrows.

For the tail of her eyebrows, for the tip of her nose, for her lips, all added a little sparkling brilliance.

When she raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes seemed to be softened by the candlelight and soaked with boundless affection.

At this time, Xue Qingyin rolled up a corner of the curtain: "Then I'm leaving?"

There was no point in sitting there.

"Well, go back." King Xuan said.

There was really no warmth or reluctance at all.

But Xue Qingyin had no hope.

She got off the carriage and was about to leave.

"Take this." King Xuan reached out from the carriage.

Xue Qingyin looked back at him and saw that he was holding a flat box in his hand.

At first glance, it looked familiar.

Xue Qingyin took it and asked, "Your Highness gave it to me?"

King Xuan nodded, "You seemed to like it last time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew his hand, and the curtain fell, covering him sitting in the carriage.

The coachman nodded to Xue Qingyin and drove away.

Xue Qingyin stood there and opened the box.

There were many golden things lying inside...

Nong Xia, who was standing beside him, exclaimed in a trance: "What is this?"

Xue Qingyin said in a daze: "It's leaf cards."

Last time at the Golden Sparrow Princess's house, she played chess with him. After a while, she lost a lot and didn't want to play anymore, so she suggested playing leaf cards.

King Xuan then asked someone to bring a set of leaf cards, each of which was made of gold.

She was shocked when she saw it, and couldn't let it go.

He actually remembered the love that overflowed from her eyebrows and eyes at that time.

Nong Xia swallowed her saliva: "Miss, how much silver is this?"

Xue Qingyin: "I don't know."

Princess Jinque actually gave it like this?

Xue Qingyin thought about it and couldn't help but take a breath. Although King Xuan is a cold-tempered person, he is inevitably dull. But he really gives money! He really spends time on gifts!

Xue Qingyin tightened her cloak, and when she lowered her head, she saw the knot that King Xuan tied for her.

"Let's go, let's go back to sleep. If it's too late, my mother will be worried." Xue Qingyin said and walked in front.

Zhishu suppressed the shock in his heart and hurriedly followed.

And the silly girl Nong Xia was still counting on her fingers quietly. Of course, she couldn't figure it out in the end.

When she returned to Xinyi Pavilion, Madam Xue was still waiting for her with a light on. She asked, "What's going on?"

Xue Qingyin smiled and said, "It's a small matter. Once I take action, your daughter will naturally solve it."

Madam Xue rolled her eyes at her unhappily.

Xue Qingyin raised her hand to take off her cloak. Pull once, twice... huh? Why can't it be untied?

She stared at the knot angrily.

What kind of broken thing is this?

It can't be untied.

Madam Xue noticed the movement and hurriedly stepped forward to help Xue Qingyin untie the cloak. While untying it, she said, "Why did you tie a knot yourself?... Bring the scissors."

As she said that, Madam Xue turned her head and her eyes fell on the flat box in Nong Xia's arms.

A little doubt flashed across Madam Xue's eyes.

On the way back, King Xuan suddenly said, "Stop."

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" A questioning voice came from outside the carriage.

King Xuan: "..."

He just remembered that he was used to tying a prisoner's knot when he was in the army.

Xue Qingyin should not be able to untie the knot he tied.

"Your Highness, are you... going to turn back again?" The person outside asked cautiously.

King Xuan asked: "What time is it?"

"It's almost midnight."

"It's curfew... go back to the palace."

Fortunately, the knot of the cloak can't be untied, but it can always be cut open with scissors.

The last time the Queen Mother sent someone to send some scarlet brocade, Yuezhou Liaoling, and Xiangyunsha to the palace, and she used them to make a new cloak for her.

King Xuan said calmly in his heart.
