Spring Drunk Chang'an

"I didn't mean to lose my composure. I'm usually very careful, really!" Liu Chang'an murmured anxiously with red eyes.

Xiao Chuo's meaningful look around touched her heart.

She couldn't help but think of the words spoken by the nannies sent by Old Lady Lai and Duke Liu to "teach" her manners during the 38 days she spent as a "young lady in a mansion" in her previous life.

"Miss Liu, you don't know how to sit or stand properly. You should live like a daughter of a noble family!"

"Lift your head and stop looking at people out of the corner of your eyes. Who are you trying to seduce with that seductive look? The people in the mansion are all your uncles and brothers. What's the point of being so seductive?"

"The one serving the singing girl is no different from a whore. Did you teach her? Oh, I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud."

"Poor Miss Qingru, such a good girl, but she was replaced by something like this!"

"Stop talking! How can she compare to Miss Qingru? She's not even as good as her toenails!"

The maids' words became more and more unpleasant, and the rules they taught became more and more difficult.

At first, it was just sarcasm and insults. Later, Liu Changbai and Liu Wenrui came separately and said harsh words to her. Then the maids would make her kneel down and observe the rules.

He knelt for half a day.

At that time, Song was so sick that she was as thin as a stick. She could only force herself to see her a few times every day. Sanxi was transferred to Aunt Lai's courtyard.

Whenever Song came to see her, Aunt Lai would bring Sanxi and stand in the yard, watching with a smile.

She didn't dare to complain or shed a tear.

Every day when I open my eyes, I hear the words "no rules, thief, shrew, raised by slaves".

Liu Changan was terrified that someone would criticize her upbringing.

Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

The stomach and intestines are physiologically churning and you feel like vomiting.

Seeing Liu Chang'an's pale face and tears in his eyes, Xiao Chuo frowned slightly and dismounted, "Why are you crying?"

"I didn't say anything about you!"

"No, it's none of Your Highness's business. It's my own fault, my fault..." Liu Chang'an bit her lip, suppressed her sobs, and didn't dare cry too loudly.

She covered her lips with her slender hands and sobbed softly.

Even when a noble lady sheds tears, she is very pitiful. Only the lower class would not care and cry like a mad woman.

This was her previous life. When she thought of her adoptive parents and couldn't help crying, the nanny told her while hitting her palm with a bamboo stick.

"Just cry if you want to. There's no need to hold it in." Xiao Chuo felt the cry was inexplicably harsh, as if it was the sobbing of a dying kitten.

The ladies in the palace were crying, as beautiful as delicate flowers. Liu Changan's crying was not pretty. He sobbed and swallowed his tears.

There is no beauty that can arouse pity, but the pain is so real.

"You're a little girl, and you were almost kidnapped. It's normal for you to be scared. There's no need to worry about me being around. If you want to cry, just cry loudly."

Liu Chang'an was stunned, and Xingying, with her red and swollen breasts, stared at him blankly.

For a long time.

With a cry of "Wow", she squatted on the ground, buried her face in her knees, and burst into tears.

Xiao Chuo looked at Liu Chang'an, who was thin and small, curled up in a ball, not daring to show his tears to others, and a shadow fell in her smoky eyes.

He suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, the little girl with a bright smile and pink and tender skin had also cried so wildly when she knew he was leaving.

She hugged his neck and wiped her tears and snot on his clothes, crying loudly and confidently.

At that time, Xiao Chuo, who was only eight years old, had worriedly thought that when he returned to the palace and his mother gave birth to a younger sister, he must raise her from a young age and teach her to be brave and courageous, and not be like a little girl who was a red-nosed crybaby.

But then...

The little girl died.

The little sister also died.

He was the only one left, who was described by his father as "moody". He was like an evil ghost, protecting his mother and living a lonely and cold life in the palace.

Xiao Chuo's face instantly turned cold, and her voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness. "Take them away and interrogate them carefully. If you can't find out their origins and causes, there's no need for them to come to see me."

He pointed to the three men and one woman.

The expressions of those people changed and they opened their mouths to shout, but the guards rushed over, covered their lips and kicked their legs, and with a series of skilled moves, they tied them up with their hooves tied up.

Xiao Chuo turned around, stretched out her slender arms, pinched the back of Liu Chang'an's collar with three fingers, and pulled her up as if she was holding a rabbit's ears.

"You and I will go to the manor to wash up."

"It's like a mud ball. What does it look like?"

He whispered, his smoky eyes filled with disdain.

Liu Changan felt much better after venting her frustration through wailing. However, she cried too hard and still couldn't stop sobbing. Her nose was red and she lowered her head to look at herself, sobbing softly.

She rolled around in the cornfield several times, vegetables were thrown, eggs were thrown, and she...

It's a mess.

Unsightly.

It was yellow and white, because it had just been close to the prince and had rubbed against him a little.

Xiao Chuo's black uniform was stained with egg yolk, which made it particularly eye-catching.

In an instant, Liu Changan's eyes and nose, as well as her entire face, flushed red with shame. She covered her face with her hands, feeling both ashamed and regretful. "Slave girl, I, I'll go back and change my clothes by myself..."

"Don't talk nonsense, just follow me!"

Xiao Chuo said coldly.

The three fingers were still pinching her.

His intention to run away in shame was stopped, and Liu Chang'an was extremely embarrassed, but he calmed down.

She burst into tears and was covered in egg yolk. There was no need to talk about her noble manners anymore. She sobbed while being carried forward obediently by Xiao.

After taking two steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Could you please ask one of the guards to compensate the fellow villager whose livelihood I ruined and whose cornfield I destroyed?"

"I promise tenfold compensation. Whoever pays it first will return it to you when I am free."

The guards looked at each other and then at Xiao Chuo.

Xiao Chuo lowered her eyes and nodded.

The guards took out silver and compensated the people around them.

Liu Changan looked at the woman whose eggs she had smashed, and after receiving a silver coin, he pursed his lips and shouted, "My fellow villagers, I was afraid of being captured, so I was anxious and ruined your livelihood. I'm so sorry!"

Several fellow villagers were frightened by Xiao Chuo's imposing appearance and did not dare to say much. They quickly waved their hands to indicate that everything was fine.

Liu Chang'an felt relieved and followed Xiao Chuo into the carriage.

-

Donggong Villa is located in the apricot blossom forest two miles away.

The small village is not big, with only three steps. Behind the village, there is an apricot blossom forest halfway up the mountain. Behind the forest, there are several houses in the distance, which should be the villas of officials in the capital.

Liu Chang'an followed the prince into the courtyard, where he was greeted by a nanny and palace maid.

"Go wash up and come back later."

Xiao Chuo gave some instructions and turned to leave. Liu Changan followed the palace maids to a garden in the backyard.

Beneath the shade of apricot blossoms, there is a pool of steaming spring water, emitting a faint smell of sulfur.

It turned out to be a hot spring.

Thinking of hot springs...

A picture suddenly emerged in Liu Changan's mind: a strong white chest, firm and powerful abdominal muscles, slender arms, and misty eyes!

Prince!

Her face suddenly turned red.
