prince attendant

In the early morning, the air was filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, there were few pedestrians on the road, and from a distance, I saw scarlet lanterns hanging in front of the prince's gate, which looked fiery and festive. The gate was wide open, and there was a servant waiting at the gate.

Even if the Crown Prince's Mansion is in good luck, at such an early hour, there are only a few scattered teenagers who have nothing to do and come to hang out in the courtyard very early, commenting on the courtyard from time to time, although they like it very much, but it is unavoidable There is something dissatisfied, so I am very proud to imagine how to build a more perfect building.

Mu Qing followed Xie Jin, and followed the escort to the courtyard where the crown prince was. When he arrived in the courtyard, he saw those teenagers already standing or sitting in the courtyard to rest. , greeted one after another, and said with a smile

"You're here!"

Looking at Mu Qing again, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled meaningfully and said

"Xiao Mu! It turns out that you are the attendant that His Highness values—it's really unexpected."

say again

"If you don't tell us such a big thing, it shows that you don't regard us as friends."

They are all people who are studying in the academy. Mu Qing follows Xie Jin every day when he arrives. Even though he is silent every day, he is familiar with them after going back and forth. Now being teased like this, Mu Qing is very scared, so he can only smile a little , and then say

"It's not something worth promoting, and it's not good to talk about it every day."

Xie Jin walked among them, and also said with a smile

"Stop joking, what about Your Highness?"

They pointed to the house behind them and said

"Your Highness is going to deal with things, we don't dare to disturb you, but - Your Highness said, if Mr. Xie is here, you can go directly, hehe."

Although he said "Master Xie" in his mouth, his eyes kept looking at Mu Qing. It was a very interested expression, which made Mu Qing feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Xie Jin is very understanding. , turned to him and said

"You go, I'm here with them, you haven't seen His Highness for a long time, I guess you have a lot to say."

Mu Qing didn't say much to evade, Xie Jin gave him a grateful look, and said

"Then, I'll go first."

Xie Jin nodded, and Mu Qing followed the attendants to the study room, and when they passed through the courtyard corridor, no one could be seen, everyone gathered together, and then gossiped with Xie Jin

"Xie Jin, you will keep it secret. We have discussed this matter for His Highness many times, and you didn't say anything, but you can really bear it. When this person was brought to the academy earlier, you still said that he was your distant relative. Why did you suddenly say so? It's really shameless for someone who has become His Highness the Crown Prince not to reveal such a big secret to the brothers!"

The people who are angry now are not the people Mu Qing met before. Even if they met before, these young masters would not care about a small attendant.

Xie Jin smiled leisurely and said innocently

"You didn't ask that question either."

Who would think of asking a person who went to school in the academy for no reason, and he would be associated with His Highness's attendant!

The crowd became angry, rushed forward, and made a fuss, Xie Jin, who was bound to be punished for concealing important matters.

When Mu Qing walked forward, she only heard a faint playful sound erupting behind her, and gradually, it dissipated again.

There are white gauze painting curtains hanging under the corridor, which are blown up by the wind, and His Highness can be seen from a distance.

Just like in the palace, the study extends out to a wide open area, hung with soft veils, hung up during the day, tied to the pillars at the four corners, and swaying gently with the wind, His Royal Highness is dressed in vermilion and gold. The luxurious clothes against the background, wearing a gold and jade hair crown, sitting on the porch and writing some documents, the wind blows the hair and clothes, like a nine-day fairy.

Mu Qing thought to himself, such a stack of ostentatious robes and gold jade pendants would be unavoidably gaudy for others to wear, and it would make people feel as vulgar as if they were revealing their belongings. I feel luxurious and incomparable, with an excellent face and a slightly mocking expression, it reveals infinite dignity.

A few dozen steps away, the attendant asked Mu Qing to stop and report first, Mu Qing stood there and waited. He looked straight at His Highness who was concentrating on his documents, with infinite longing in his heart, but also the slightest hint of desire. Strands of timidity - because the last time he met His Highness, he still stayed at the place where His Highness looked at him with an unbelievable expression after stabbing His Highness.

After the attendant entered the curtain, there was only a short pause, and His Royal Highness raised his eyes to look over. Mu Qing immediately stood up straight after seeing him, and held her breath involuntarily.

Looking at each other from a distance like this, Mu Qing immediately recalled the scene in the palace. Apart from a lot of joy, the trace of timidity completely dissipated in His Highness's very familiar eyes looking at him.

Then I heard His Highness the Crown Prince say in a slightly impatient tone,

"Since you're back, what are you doing standing there? Do you want to wait for Bengong to come and greet you?"

"Don't dare."

Mu Qing walked over immediately, His Royal Highness waved his hand, and the attendant stepped back. When he passed by Mu Qing, his eyes were full of curiosity. He probably heard that His Highness was waiting for someone to come back, and now he saw it with his own eyes. So I'm still a little curious.

Standing opposite His Highness the Prince, Mu Qing looked at him from such a close distance, only to realize that His Highness's appearance was more aggressive and flamboyant in less than a month. Perhaps it was because of his demeanor that he was more imposing than before.

Mu Qing noticed such a change, but she didn't feel it was strange.

He just thought about it, and when he finally came back, his heart was very stable.

Ji Yi lowered his head and wrote a few words, and finally realized something was wrong, then raised his head to look at the silent Mu Qing, and said

"Stupid?"

"no!"

Mu Qing immediately replied that he had a lot of things to say in his heart, but he didn't know how to say them. Seeing His Highness writing a letter, he felt that he couldn't speak out to disturb his mind. Ji Yi clicked his tongue, put down the pen in his hand, and went up again Stamped, while doing things, at the same time very casually said

"I heard that you want to leave this palace, so silent now, are you thinking about how to say goodbye?"

Mu Qing blinked, not knowing why His Royal Highness would say such a thing, so she quickly argued that

"How could it be! I never thought about why Your Highness heard such rumors."

Ji Yi raised his eyes to look at him, stretched out his arms again, the wide sleeves slipped off, and the left arm was wrapped in white gauze very abruptly.

Mu Qing knew that the scar must be caused by herself, and her heart was suffocated, but she didn't expect that after so many days, she still hasn't healed.

Ji Yi followed his gaze, put down his sleeves as if nothing had happened, looked at him with his chin propped up, and said with a light smile

"But someone told me that you were going to leave me. Are you lying to me?"

Mu Qing never had such an idea, the only time - was when he first woke up, but he only said that to Xie Jin, could it be that Xie Jin revealed it to His Highness - Mu Qing was a little puzzled Guess, but this is not the moment to ask who revealed such information.

Mu Qing took a deep breath before saying softly

"No—it's just that at the beginning, I thought His Highness didn't want me anymore, so I felt that I didn't need to bother His Highness if I left on my own."

After saying this, there was a moment of silence, only the sound of the wind blowing everything, but the spring wind, even if it blows, is extremely gentle.

Ji Yi sighed and said helplessly

"Does this palace look like such a person who is so easy to give up?"

Mu Qing: ...

Although he doesn't want to admit it, His Highness is indeed such a person, and Mu Qing also feels a little melancholy in his heart. He has never seen His Highness show great love and obsession for anything, even if he has been with Mallow for many years, Didn't you just say go and go?

Although I was glad that His Highness did not abandon me, I never knew why His Highness favored me, so I felt uneasy, probably because I felt that His Highness couldn't take care of everything, and I couldn't become a special existence.

Seeing that Mu Qing didn't speak, Ji Yi bewildered and remembered that his words didn't seem to be convincing—after all, he had never shown any attachment to anything, and of course, he would never be shaken by others. , except for the stubborn nature.

So I thought about it again and said

"Well, if you don't say a word, it seems that what I said is not convincing."

Mu Qing: ...

Before Mu Qing spoke, Ji Yi said again

"I never thought of abandoning you, but not giving up doesn't mean I won't be angry. Don't let me hear this in the future. If you hear it again, I really don't want you."

"Your Highness—"

Mu Qing looked at His Highness the Crown Prince with sparkling eyes. For some reason, she always felt very happy, so she said very cautiously.

"I will never say something like that again."

When Ji Yi heard what he said, he showed a slightly satisfied expression, and then asked about Mu Qing's recent situation.

Mu Qing answered one by one. He knelt beside His Highness, looked sideways at His Highness the Crown Prince, and knew very well in his heart that His Highness was already special enough to him. How he wanted to repay him could only be done with unchanging loyalty and full of love. blood, tears of eternal gratitude.
