The prince is shameless

"Kemeng?"

With doubts in the crisp youthful voice, Xie Qing slightly tilted her head.

Ever since his tenth birthday passed, Wen Xing no longer allowed him to call himself "Brother Wen", but called him by his own name instead.

Xie Qing was only curious for a moment, then happily ran up to Wen Xing, with a pair of shining eyes, and asked, "Why is Ke Meng here?"

Only then did Wen Xing come back to his senses, and asked in amazement: "Why is His Highness the Sixth Prince here?"

"This is where my concubine and I live, of course I'm here." Xie Qing frowned, as if she didn't feel how desolate this place was.

Hearing this, Wen Xing frowned, and asked again: "Why does Your Highness live in this place?"

Xie Qing's mother and concubine are Wen Xing's aunt, and her concubine's position is not low, logically speaking, she can't be reduced to this level.

Xie Qing heard Wen Xing's implication, the corners of her lips raised lightly, revealing a small dimple, and said: "My mother and concubine don't like to be disturbed by others, especially those court ladies and eunuchs, so except for the meal time, only me and my mother are here. It's just the two concubines."

Since this is the aunt's own arrangement, Wen Xing can't talk too much.

However, it is rare for Xie Qing to see other people in the courtyard, and it is Wen Xing who is relatively close on weekdays. She felt joyful and said enthusiastically: "Mother and concubine usually don't stay up until lunch time. It's still early, shall I show you around?"

Wen Xing couldn't bear to brush off Xie Qing's kindness, and nodded in agreement.

"Then there will be His Highness Lao Liu."

Xie Qing smiled, pulled Wen Xing's sleeve and led him around in her small yard.

It has to be said that Wen Xing liked Xie Qing's behavior of not putting on airs on purpose, nor forcing him to let go of his status.So much so that Wen Xing can always relax unconsciously every time he gets along with Xie Qing, which is exactly where Xie Qing's talent lies——

Accurately judge the way of getting along that makes the other person feel most comfortable.

Every time at this time, Wen Xing would be thankful that he met Xie Yi instead of Xie Qing, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to strengthen his heart to stay away.

His thoughts were scattered in a mess, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Xie Qing had stopped the words of introduction.

Wen Xing smiled apologetically, and said, "Sorry, I was rude."

Xie Qing shook her head lightly, and asked with a smile: "Then shall I continue?"

"Please." Wen Xing nodded in greeting, and continued to follow Xie Qing's footsteps to visit the places where there are actually not many places to visit.

"This is the hut I like to stay in on weekdays." Xie Qing pointed to the room he just walked out of, "Because there are only windows there that can see beyond this yard."

Wen Xing looked in the direction Xie Qing pointed, and through the open door, he saw a small window connecting the outside.

The rest of the room is messy, like a storage room, except the one in front of the window sill is clean and tidy, it seems that there is no dust.

Presumably Xie Qing also prefers the scenery outside the courtyard, right?

Wen Xing couldn't help asking: "Since you are a prince, there are not too many taboos in the harem, why don't you go out often?"

Xie Qing shook her head, and said regretfully: "My concubine doesn't allow me to go out often, sometimes I go out secretly when I go to play with the prince's brother."

Wen Xing didn't know much about his aunt, he only thought that she was afraid that Xie Qing would be harmed by unruly people and overprotected her.

There was a burst of emotion in his heart.

Originally born in the royal family, Xie Qing's freedom was already limited, but now there is an additional obstacle, it's no wonder that he sneaked to the side of the East Palace back then, and he still didn't want to tell himself where he lived.

It's a poor kid.

Wen Xing only sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then was dragged away by Xie Qing who didn't feel sad at all.

Through Xie Qing's introduction, Wen Xing learned a little about his daily life.It can be said that apart from consciously reading and practicing martial arts and standing in front of the window looking into the distance from time to time, there are no other activities, which is not as monotonous as a young man.

Due to Xu's request, Xie Qing is the only prince other than Xie Yi who doesn't have to go to the study to study with the royal brothers and sisters, and has very limited social contacts.

Thanks to Wen Xing and Xie Yi who guided him from time to time, it didn't make him grow crooked so easily.

After all, the yard was still too small, and it didn't take long for Xie Qing to introduce everything.

"It's just such a small place, please don't dislike Kemeng." Xie Qing seemed to realize that her behavior was too naive, her cheeks were slightly red, and she pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

Wen Xing naturally knew what he was thinking, and said, "Although your Highness's courtyard is small, it is also very interesting."

The consolation in the words was full of meaning, and Xie Qing didn't point it out.He reckoned that it was still early, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The concubine mother seems to dislike you and the prince's brother the most on weekdays. While it's still early, Ke Meng, you should leave quickly, and I won't delay you." .”

"The least favorite minister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Obviously, Wen Xing focused more on the first half of the sentence.

Xie Qing smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I don't know why, since a few years ago, my concubine always liked to tell me what's wrong with you. But don't worry, I, I still trust you! You and Brother Prince is obviously such a nice person!"

As if afraid that Wen Xing would alienate him, Xie Qing quickly explained.

Wen Xing didn't show much sincerity towards Xie Qing, at most he just sympathized with Xie Qing's childhood.Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "I naturally trust Your Highness."

After all, Xie Qing was a young man, and he didn't know Wen Xing very well, so he took his words seriously, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He paused, and then asked softly: "Then... Can Kemeng help me tell the prince brother about this?"

"Huh?" Wen Xing didn't react for a while.

Generally speaking, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they would choose to keep silent, right?

"This kind of thing is hidden, and it will be more likely to cause misunderstandings after a long time." Xie Qing explained, "But I don't know how to mention this kind of thing to the prince brother, so I want to trouble you, Kemeng, is it okay?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wen Xing cautiously, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

Wen Xing's thoughts were complicated because of his first sentence.

Xie Qing's thinking has his reasons, but it's too simple.The imperial palace is a place that cannibalize people without spit out their bones. Asking for explanations for everything can sometimes cause more misunderstandings.

But Wen Xing still didn't refuse him, and was about to agree with a smile, when he suddenly heard a soft sound behind him.

Wen Xing looked back subconsciously, and saw a piece of white cloth exposed under the door of another small room behind him.

White clothes!

He immediately calmed down his thoughts and was about to walk over.However, at the next moment, Xie Qing quickly stood in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Ke Meng, you can't go there!"

Wen Xing took a small step forward, raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked, "Why?"

"Mother and concubine said that no one can enter that room." Xie Qing also put away her relaxed smile and looked anxious, afraid that Wen Xing would not believe him and force her way through.

"I sneaked in once before, but my concubine found out, and I was punished for a day by my concubine, so I can't go there!"

While speaking, Xie Qing's body couldn't help trembling slightly, as if recalling something bad.

Xie Qing is a prince after all, Wen Xing stared closely at the piece of fabric for a long time, but in the end he did not exceed the rules, but kept an extra eye in his heart.

The author has something to say: the word count has finally exceeded [-]!

But there is still a short distance from the big turning point in the middle of the plot orz
