Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

Of course, Xu couldn't easily see through the magic of a demigod.

At most, she felt that the handsome boy in front of her was somewhat familiar, but she never thought that he had any connection with the mysterious girl who wanted to help her last night.

Realizing her distraction, Xu lowered her head and smiled shyly, explaining gently, "I...I just thought you looked familiar. I'm sorry."

Xu had such a gentle personality, as if she was born to enjoy wealth and glory and not suffer any hardship.

But the palace should not be her home.

Ling Heng and Shi Li did not stay in Changyang Palace for too long. They could tell at a glance whether Xu was a human or a demon. They stayed for a while just to give an explanation to the empress dowager.

After enduring for a while, he got up and left, preparing to return to the Queen Mother.

Before leaving, Shi Li looked back at Xu.

If she hesitated any longer, she would be killed by the Queen Mother or other jealous concubines in the palace sooner or later.

On the way back, Shi Li still saw the kite flying in the sky.

The kites of this era were not as fancy as the ones she had seen before, but accompanied by the girls' clear laughter, they were still so refreshing and made people feel better.

Shi Li couldn't help but stop and look at it for a while longer.

Unexpectedly, a gust of wind suddenly blew beside her, and accompanied by the girl's scream, an exquisite gold-painted spring swallow kite fell directly at her feet.

Shi Li: ...

Nowadays, even kites can commit fraud?

Because the kite was so beautiful, Shi Li bent down to pick it up and prepared to return it to its owner.

"Hey! Give me back my kite!"

A pleasant voice with a hint of coquettishness sounded from behind. Without turning around, one could guess that it must be the owner of the kite who came looking for him.

Shi Li turned around holding the kite and saw a girl in a pink gauze dress walking towards her aggressively, followed by two terrified palace maids.

She only saw these clearly, because the figure in front of her flashed and Ling Heng was already blocking the way.

He really treated her as a little girl who needed protection.

Shi Li felt very touched. She paused, then poked her head out from behind Ling Heng and looked at the little girl who came over to ask for the kite in a friendly manner.

"The kite fell to the ground, and I picked it up and wanted to give it back to you."

The owner of the kite——

The fifth princess of the dynasty, Liu Hanyu, was originally aggressive and even when she saw Ling Heng, she was not moved by his beauty at all. However, when she saw Ling Heng, she blushed inexplicably.

She was just in her teens, younger than Shi Li, with a childish look on her face, and was obviously shy.

A pair of fair and beautiful little hands twisted the hem of her clothes helplessly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice no longer had the same momentum as before.

"Then... I'll give you this kite!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

He ran a long way before he stopped and timidly looked back at Shi Li.

The girl's thoughts are clearly revealed.

At this moment, the person with the most complicated emotions is Ling Heng.

He couldn't quite understand why his love rival, in addition to the senior sister, had another little princess?

He didn't understand, and Shi Li didn't understand either.

Although she looked very handsome in men's clothing, Ling Heng was right beside her, and the Fifth Princess's aesthetic taste was amazing.

Both sides were silent for a while.

Then Shi Li reluctantly handed the kite in her hand to the eunuch who led the way, "Please return the kite to the Fifth Princess. I have no intention of offending you."

The eunuch saw it clearly from the side and knew that it was all the Fifth Princess's wishful thinking. He took the kite without any hesitation and smiled at Shi Li.

Everyone thought that Shi Li, who was dressed as a man, was Ling Heng's junior fellow apprentice, and no one wanted to offend him.

When they returned to the Empress Dowager's palace, Emperor Yuanxu had already left.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch with her eyes closed, her face still not looking good.

Hearing that Ling Heng had returned, she reluctantly mustered up the energy to invite him in.
