Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Xuanyuan Yan waited in the study room for a long time but no one came. He frowned and wanted to ask someone about it, but finally decided to go there in person.

As a result, he was stopped by Bing Ling as soon as he reached the door of the guest house.

"Your Highness, the young lady is asleep and it is not convenient for her to meet anyone at this time."

Bingling, who is used to being alone, was dealing with such an emergency at her daughter's home for the first time. She was in a panic at the beginning but has finally settled everything now.

Shangguan Qingyue was tossed around and changed her clothes from head to toe but was not woken up and was still sleeping soundly.

Xuanyuan Yan was obviously very dissatisfied with this ambiguous explanation.

"What happened to Miss Shangguan? Why did she fall asleep in broad daylight?"

In his impression, the petite girl was always full of energy and vitality, and she had no trace of the fragility of a girl.

They had known each other for so long, but this was the first time he saw her unwell.

Bing Ling looked embarrassed and hesitant. She always thought she was as good as men in every way, but she couldn't escape the awkwardness in this situation. A blush gradually crept up her cheeks, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

Seeing her rare behavior, Xuanyuan Yan became even more confused. He pushed her away impatiently and walked straight into the house.

"Your Highness, please stay!"

Suppressing his irritation, he turned around patiently.

"What on earth has happened that has made you so shy all of a sudden? If you hadn't followed me for more than ten years and I couldn't have mistaken you for someone else, I would have suspected that you had been swapped."

The cold temperament had completely dissipated at this moment. Bing Ling took a deep breath and was about to explain tactfully when he suddenly heard a weak and slightly hoarse voice coming from inside the room:

"Sister Bingling, who's outside?"

Bing Ling shouted so urgently that her voice became louder, causing Shangguan Qingyue to finally open her heavy eyelids.

Hearing the voice, Xuanyuan Yan no longer hesitated and strode in. Then he saw a slightly pale little face, like a delicate flower without water, without the freshness of the past.

Shangguan Qingyue was sitting at the table, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand. Seeing Xuanyuan Yan coming in, she said apologetically:

"Please come and take a look, sir. I will be fine after a while."

Xuanyuan Yan looked at the aqua green cloak placed aside. Although the material was not expensive and was not made of animal skin, it looked very thick and should be good for keeping warm.

He asked directly:

"It doesn't seem like you've caught a cold. What's wrong with you?"

Shangguan Qingyue poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to the other party.

Maybe it was because of her weak body, or maybe it was because the warmth of the hand warmer in her arms was comfortable, anyway, she was very relaxed at the moment, and what she wanted to say came out without thinking:

"Oh, nothing, just the sunflower water came..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Before a mouthful of tea could even enter his throat, it was coughed out. Xuanyuan Yan had never been so embarrassed before. At this moment, he didn't know whether to leave or stay, and he felt extremely embarrassed.

Thinking of Bing Ling's hesitation just now, he wanted to kill her. That saw-mouthed gourd, why didn't you tell him such an important thing earlier!

Seeing the other party's reaction so intense, Shangguan Qingyue's confused mind finally became clear.

Well, I was careless for a moment and forgot that I can’t tell this to anyone casually.

Her mind raced as she tried to change the subject. She glanced at the bundle on the couch not far away and immediately stood up to get it.

As a result, I only felt a surge of energy under my body. I stroked my lower abdomen, my face turned pale, and I stood there in a daze, not daring to move.

Xuanyuan Yan didn't understand, and asked anxiously:

"what happened?"

"Well, it's a common thing for girls. You, you don't have to worry about it..."

She slowly sat back in her seat and pointed to the bundle, "Sir, could you please take it over? It contains a gift for you."

Xuanyuan Yan placed the bundle on the table, opened it and found it was a ball of crocheted fabric. He took it in his hand and saw that it was so thin and long that he couldn't guess what it could be used for.

He looked at Shangguan Qingyue in confusion.

"Is this something new that you have researched? What is it used for?"

"Hehe... sir, have you noticed the red fabric wrapped around Donkey Little Flower's neck? I call it a 'scarf', and that's what it's for. It's very warm when you wrap it around your neck. Do you want to try it now?"

Xuanyuan Yan: ...

Seeing that the person opposite her was silent for a long time, Shangguan Qingyue was a little confused for a moment, so she had to pick up the ultramarine scarf and wrap it around her neck to show him.

Because of her small stature, she circled several times before stopping, and she looked both funny and cute.

"Look, wear it like this. I crocheted this for you myself. Don't you like it?"

Xuanyuan Yan sighed lightly, unable to say a word of concern. Why was he fussing over a donkey? This girl was clearly treating it like a human being!

"It was clearly a gift for me, why did you wear it first? Give it to me to try."

Shangguan Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but take credit:

"Shangpin Pavilion does not sell this patterned scarf to the public. I picked it out as the best-looking one and only gave it to my family.

Oh, and gloves, too.”

As she spoke, she took out a pair of five-finger gloves crocheted with wool from the bottom of the bag and helped put them on Xuanyuan Yan's hands.

"It is crocheted with woolen thread. It can protect your hands from the cold when riding a horse in winter."

Looking at his hands, which looked a little clumsy after putting on the gloves, Xuanyuan Yan asked:

"Tell me, what do you want me to do this time? Liuli, forget it. The weather is too cold now. Master can't do it."

The little girl smiled with a flattering look on her face and even took out her best treasure from the bottom of her box. It was impossible for her to have nothing in return from him.

Shangguan Qingyue immediately smiled even more brilliantly, scratched his head, and finally got to the point:

"Sir, can we build a charity school together?

Well, of course, I don’t have much money in my treasury right now, so I might need you to pay the bulk of the money.”

Seeing the other party opening his mouth to speak, she hurriedly stopped him and continued:

"Don't worry! When I need your help, I will do my best!"

Xuanyuan Yan only glanced at the teacup at hand, and she immediately understood and poured him another cup of hot tea, not forgetting to push all the snacks on the table next to the teacup.

"Shuiyunjian has recently developed a few delicious snacks. I'll have someone deliver them to your house when I get back."

Looking at the serious-looking girl opposite him, Xuanyuan Yan finally spoke:

"Do you know how much manpower and resources are needed to open a college? Not to mention that it is a 'charity school'.

If I understand correctly, does that mean I don't charge any money to the students? Where does the money come from? Is it possible that my private vault is a treasure trove that is inexhaustible?"

Looking at the other party's slightly threatening eyes, Shangguan Qingyue resisted the urge to nod and could only say "hehe" with a smile.

Alas, is this the legendary "ideal is full, reality is skinny"? Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but sighed, lamenting her own naivety.

Seeing the dimming look in the little girl's eyes, Xuanyuan Yan felt sorry for her.

"Do you have any rules on this matter?"

Having learned her lesson, the little girl stood up slowly and gracefully, took the "plan" that had been written long ago from the table next to her, and presented it with both hands.

Looking at the familiar handwriting, Xuanyuan Yan's mouth curled up slightly. He calmed down and read it carefully.

This charter is more than 10,000 words long, well-organized and thoughtful, which is enough to show the good intentions of the person who wrote it.

He couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"At your young age, why do you think about these matters that concern the country and the people?"

These should have been the concerns of the officials of Da'an State who were paid by the emperor. Unexpectedly, a little girl took them to heart. How ironic...

Shangguan Qingyue told Xuanyuan Yan that more and more young beggars were gathering near Shuiyunjian. How could she feel at ease when she saw them every time she went to the store?

Xuanyuan Yan tapped the tabletop rhythmically with his fingertips. He pondered for a long time before speaking:

"The matter of the 'charity school' needs to be planned slowly, and it is not convenient for you and me to come forward. I will order people to slowly look for the right person, you just wait patiently."

Judging from his words, he had obviously agreed to this matter. Shangguan Qingyue jumped up from her seat in excitement, but then the surging feeling extinguished all her enthusiasm...

Xuanyuan Yan saw that she was behaving strangely. Although he didn't know why, he vaguely thought of the reason and his expression began to become unnatural again. He gathered the papers in his hand and stood up to leave:

"Now that we have concluded our discussion, you can have a good rest. After lunch at the zoo, I will have someone drive you back home in a carriage."

Without giving Shangguan Qingyue a chance to refuse, he immediately turned around and left, with a hint of fleeing.

In fact, he thought too much. Shangguan Qingyue never wronged herself. Since she came to Kuishui, she had to take care of herself. How could she ride Xiaohua back on her donkey?

If it weren't for the fact that a girl's reputation would be damaged if she spent the night outside, she would rather stay in the zoo for a few more days until she was completely clean before going home.
