The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Across the lake.

Shen Qionghua was stunned for only a moment, then quickly stepped out of Huo Jing's arms.

Huo Jing's ears, cheeks, and neck all turned red. He ignored the disappointment in his heart and quickly explained, "Yes, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it!"

Just as Shen Qionghua was about to speak, the old lady next to her spoke first.

She hunched over, her face full of guilt. "Miss, I'm really... really sorry. I have poor eyesight and didn't see you get up. I almost bumped into you. Are you okay?"

Perhaps because Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing were dressed like the young masters and young ladies of wealthy families, the old lady was afraid that they would blame her and she would not be able to bear the consequences, so she burst into tears.

"Grandma, it's okay. Look, I'm fine. It's okay." Shen Qionghua said with a smile.

Seeing Shen Qionghua being so easy to talk to, the old lady felt relieved: "Thank you, thank you, young lady, you are such a good person."

The old lady thanked him repeatedly, and then seemed to be afraid that such a thing would happen again, so she no longer had the heart to release river lanterns. After saying goodbye to Shen Qionghua, she blended into the crowd.

After the old lady left, Shen Qionghua looked at Huo Jing. He was looking at her nervously like a child who had made a mistake.

Shen Qionghua had a tense face and burst out laughing under Huo Jing's uneasy gaze.

"Master Huo, you don't have to be so nervous now. It was just an accident. If you hadn't pulled me back, would you have let me fall into the lake?"

"The lake water in the first month of the year is the coldest and most piercingly cold. If you fall into the lake, you'll probably lose half your life."

"You saved me, I can't thank you enough, why are you so nervous?"

"Could it be that I'm such an unreasonable person in your eyes? Someone saved me, and I'm ungrateful enough to blame them for meddling in my business?"

"No... no, that's not what I meant... Are you really not angry?" Huo Jing stuttered.

"I'm really not angry."

Huo Jing stared at Shen Qionghua's bright and clear eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was really no anger in her eyes.

"That's good, that's good." Huo Jing said as he picked up the veil that Shen Qionghua had dropped on the ground.

Shen Qionghua took it with a smile and put it on her head. However, because she was holding a small rabbit lantern in her hand, it was difficult to control and she put it on a little crooked. Seeing this, Huo Jing hurried forward to help straighten it and tidy it up.

-

All of this fell into the eyes of Xie Nanyuan and Lin Ze on the other side of the lake.

Lin Ze said to himself, "Oh no!" and secretly glanced at Xie Nanyuan who was in front of him on the left.

Even standing diagonally behind him, one could clearly see Xie Nanyuan's tense jaw and bulging veins on the back of his hands. He was obviously very angry.

Feeling that the already cold temperature around him seemed to have dropped a few degrees, Lin Ze couldn't help but raised his right hand and gently slapped his mouth without making any sound.

His bad mouth will kill him one day!

This dead mouth!

Tell me, are you hungry but you weren’t given food, or are you thirsty but you weren’t given water?

He eats the most and drinks the most every day, and he still won’t stop!

Lin Ze couldn't remember how many times he had been punished by the prince because of his bad mouth.

He looked at the affectionate scene across from him with a tearful look in his eyes. Although he couldn't hear any sound, he felt happy physically and mentally just watching the handsome man and beautiful woman.

But Linze knew that this harmonious and beautiful scene must have hurt the prince's eyes, and he was afraid that he would have a hard time tonight.

Just as Lin Ze was imagining what kind of inhuman torture he would suffer tonight, a hearty voice came from not far away: "Cousin——"

Linze's eyes lit up.

The savior is here!

Luo Xiyao walked over from a distance with a smile and surprise on her face, and Fu Chen followed behind her, looking at her lovingly.

"Cousin, aren't you going to the palace today? Why are you here?" Luo Xiyao asked, but saw that Xie Nanyuan ignored her at all.

"Cousin? What's wrong with you?" Why is he ignoring her?

Luo Xiyao was puzzled, and then she saw Lin Ze behind Xie Nanyuan's eyes were like convulsing.

Lin Ze winked at her so hard that he almost had cramps, and Luo Xiyao finally understood what he meant.

She followed Xie Nanyuan's gaze to the other side of the lake and saw Huo Jing helping Shen Qionghua adjust her veil. She couldn't hide the smile on her face.

"It seems like they get along well. It's worth all the effort I put into arranging this trip."

Hearing this, Lin Ze's gaze, which had just looked at Luo Xiyao like a savior, suddenly widened, and then he looked at her viciously.

Okay, he said why these two people got together during the Lantern Festival. It turned out that it was Princess Pingning who caused it and also implicated him.

Princess Pingning is living a good life, but she is busy with matchmaking work every day!

Xie Nanyuan finally reacted when he heard her words. He turned his head and looked at Luo Xiyao with cold eyes, saying, "Did you arrange this?"

Luo Xiyao hadn't noticed her cousin's mood yet. She nodded complacently and said, "Yes, I was afraid Qionghua wouldn't come out, so I specifically said Fu Chen had to deal with official business and couldn't accompany me."

"Well, isn't this princess very clever? Look how well they got along today. I think if they meet a couple more times, maybe they'll be able to succeed!"

Luo Xiyao was talking excitedly, not noticing that Xie Nanyuan's expression was becoming increasingly darker.

After she finished speaking, Xie Nanyuan laughed strangely with an expressionless face, and uttered two words through his upper and lower teeth grinding, "Smart!"

When Lin Ze heard the two words uttered by Xie Nanyuan, he shuddered suddenly and looked at Luo Xiyao with eyes full of sympathy.

At this moment, Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing seemed to see them, and Luo Xiyao quickly waved to the opposite side.

Shen Qionghua and Huo Jing understood and hurriedly left the lake and walked towards the arch bridge not far away.

Xie Nanyuan stared at the two people walking side by side, his eyes as cold as a knife.

Seeing the two people coming over from the arch bridge, Xie Nanyuan retracted his gaze and said in a voice without a trace of warmth: "Have fun today. Starting tomorrow, Fu Chen really has a lot of official business to deal with, so he won't have time to accompany you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qionghua was just within seven steps of him. Just as she was about to step forward to salute, she saw Xie Nanyuan turn around, mount his horse, raise his hand, and ride past her without even looking away.

Linze: “…”

Shen Qionghua: “…”

Huo Jing: “…”

Fu Chen: "..."

Luo Xiyao: “…” What does he mean!

The last time I met him on the street, he had Fu Chen running around the next day and I hadn't seen him for ten days. Now he's here again!

She didn't offend him!

He's alone, so he doesn't want her to get married, right?!
