Ye Zi's voice made Qiutang freeze behind the screen. He hastily pulled Gu Yan's quilt to wrap around his body: "You... don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything, I just..."

That voice was a clear and clean youthful voice, with some panic, it really didn't sound like a villain.Qiutang boldly looked in through the carved wooden screen, just in time to see a bare arm protruding from the messy bed.

She suddenly understood, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Who else could sleep on Lord Rui's bed?

Ye Zi didn't think about how to excuse herself, so she heard the person behind the screen kneel down with a plop: "Greetings to the princess."

……what?

Ye Zi was stunned, Qiutang continued: "The servant girl was ordered to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard. I didn't know that the princess was here before, and disturbed the princess to rest. I also asked the princess to make amends."

Ye Zi: "..."

This is a big misunderstanding.

Ye Zi subconsciously wanted to clarify, but just as the words came to his lips, he took them back.

If he denies it now, his origin is unknown, and the guilt of trespassing into the palace will be completely unclear.

No, absolutely not.

Ye Zi cleared his throat and said, "It's okay, you can get up first."

Qiu Tang replied: "Yes."

……

The room was silent for a moment, and after a while, Qiutang asked in a low voice: "Do you need a servant to help you change your clothes?"

"Ah? No, no need." Ye Zi hurriedly wrapped himself up in the quilt, and said without hesitation, "Your Highness just likes me staying like this."

Qiutang: "..."

Is there anyone who likes to let people stay without clothes?

Ye Zi said sincerely: "You don't know, some people just have this habit."

"...Your prince is very domineering. If I don't listen to him, he will get angry with me."

Qiutang was dumbfounded.

Ye Zi was very good at acting, and the more he talked, the more he talked: "So you must not tell the news that I am here, and don't let the prince know that you found me. Your prince has a thin skin. If people know that he is so clingy People must be ashamed to death."

The amount of information in these words was too much, and Qiutang was a little dazed when he heard it: "Wang, lord, is he... clingy?"

"Yeah, he's really clingy." Ye Zi leaned her head back on the bed, talking so eloquently that she almost believed it, "Look, he and I are getting married soon, but he can't wait just a few days, You have to cry and beg for me to come into the mansion to accompany him."

"How can he be like this, lock me in the house, don't let me go anywhere, and don't even let me wear clothes. You think he can't go too far?"

Qiutang, a young girl who has never been out of the court, has never heard of these things, so she can only blushing and whisper: "...too much."

"That's right." Ye Zi shook his head and sighed, "What can I do, who made me like him, not just pampering him."

Qiutang was convinced, and nodded her head heavily: "My servant understands, I will definitely keep it a secret for you!"

Ye Zi was satisfied: "With your words, I feel relieved, you go down first."

"Yes."

Qiutang saluted Ye Zi through the screen, then turned around and closed the door to leave the room.

Ye Zi held his breath and listened for a while. There was no movement outside, so he felt relieved.

He got up, got out of bed under the thin quilt, and fumbled to open the wooden cabinet next to the bed, inside which were neatly placed Gu Yan's clean clothes.

Although it is indecent to steal someone's clothes, it is better than him wandering around someone's house naked.

"Borrow it, I'll wash it and return it to you later, sorry, sorry." Ye Zi whispered to himself, took out a set of soft silk jacket from the cabinet, and put it on indiscriminately.

Ye Zi's figure was no longer short, but the clothes were obviously a lot bigger on him, and the cuffs grew a lot, and they had to be rolled up several times before he could barely wear them.

Ye Zi rolled up her cuffs as she walked to the bronze mirror and sat down.

A handsome face was reflected in the mirror.

The boy in the mirror looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of standard peach blossom eyes, clear and moist, with slightly drooping eye ends, revealing a bit of innocence and obedience.

Ye Zi stared at the person in the mirror for a long time, then bent his eyes, revealing two shallow dimples.

This appearance is not much different from his past, only the long hair that looks like splashed ink is loosely scattered behind him, adding a bit of beauty to this face for no reason.

Ye Zi picked up a hair tie from the table to tie up her hair, and a familiar cry sounded outside the window.

He looked back, and the little gray bird was standing on the edge of the window sill, looking at him with its head tilted.

Ye Zi smiled: "You are here."

The little gray sparrow heard a familiar voice, and her eyes widened in shock: "Little Ye Zi? How did you become like this!"

"Actually, I don't know why I became like this..." Ye Zi sat down by the window, propped his chin, and briefly told it what happened from last night to just now.

The little gray sparrow asked: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Ye Zi said, "Do me a favor."

An hour later, Ye Zi slipped out of the small courtyard where Gu Yan lived, wearing a set of clothes for a royal servant.

The little gray bird squatted on his shoulder, and asked in his ear: "Little Ye Zi, do you really want to escape?"

"Of course, otherwise, what would I ask you to steal clothes for me?"

"But why don't you want to stay in the palace?" The little gray sparrow jumped up and down on his shoulders, "The palace is so fun, there are so many delicious foods, and there are people to serve you. It would be great if there was a place to take me in." , I don’t have to catch bugs and find water to drink by myself.”

Ye Zi stretched out his hand to poke it: "When you are really locked up and kept at home, you won't feel so good."

He walked quickly through the corridor and was about to turn into the front yard when he heard someone calling him from behind: "Hey, what are you doing here?"

The little gray bird was startled by the sound, and flapped its wings and flew up the tree.Ye Zi was much calmer than it, he turned his head and took a quick glance, and recognized that the other party was a steward in the palace.

Ye Zi lowered his head, and replied, "Butler He asked me to go shopping, saying that it was for the prince's wedding banquet."

"Didn't you already go to a group of people in the morning?" The manager was still carrying some things in his hands, as if he was busy, and didn't even bother to look at Ye Zi. "Forget it, go ahead, move quickly."

"Yes."

After passing this level, Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and just stepped into the front yard quickly, and froze in place.

In the middle of the front yard, the fat orange cat, twice the size of an ordinary house cat, was lying on its back in the sun without any image, its chubby pads shaking from time to time, and it was soundly asleep.

Isn't this thing locked up?

Ye Zi swallowed, subconsciously took half a step back.

... No, he is a human being now, why is he afraid of cats?

But... it still seems to be very scary.

Ye Zi stood there for a long time without daring to move. The steward who talked to him before had already delivered the things, saw him still standing here, and reprimanded him loudly: "Why don't you leave? What are you talking about?"

Keep your voice down!

The steward walked up to Ye Zi, and finally found that he was a bit strange: "Where are you from, why haven't I seen you before?"

His voice was not low, and the orange cat in the courtyard was woken up by him, his ears trembled, and his eyes slowly opened.

"I...I am..." Ye Zi didn't care about the manager at all, his eyes were fixed on the orange cat, he was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing.The orange cat sniffed the tip of its nose, as if smelling something, raised its head, and its cat eyes happened to meet Ye Zi's.

——Exactly the same eyes as when he saw Ye Zi in grass form.

No, can you recognize this? ? !

The steward frowned: "I'm asking you something, where are you from—"

"Meow!" the orange cat called out, and suddenly rushed towards Ye Zi.

"Ahhh—" Ye Zi fled back without thinking.

There happened to be an old locust tree next to the courtyard wall, Ye Zi fled in panic, climbed up the thick trunk in a panic, and scrambled to the side of the tree.

—Insanely agile.

The orange cat chased under the tree, but it didn't jump up, and was so angry that it scratched the bark with its paws.

Ye Zi hugged the thick tree trunk with both hands, shaking so badly that tears almost came out.

As soon as Gu Yan entered the palace, he heard the commotion in the palace.

"What are you arguing about?"

Gu Yan walked up to the steward, and the steward quickly bowed to him, explaining: "Go back to the prince, I don't know which courtyard this child is from, I was just asking him, but..."

Before he finished speaking, the orange cat tried to jump a second time, and its sharp claws directly caught Ye Zi's clothes.The branches under his feet couldn't bear the weight of such a person and a cat, and finally broke under the burden.

Ye Zi lost his grip and fell straight from the tree.

Gu Yan looked up from under the tree, just in time to see a person rushing towards him.And that face was exactly the same as the one he saw in his dream.

He froze in place for a moment, but forgot to dodge, and was caught by Ye Zi who fell down.

Gu Yan staggered from the impact, subconsciously hugged him, and both of them fell to the ground.Ye Zi was dizzy from the fall, shook his head, and raised his head to meet Gu Yan's expression.

The other party's eyes were filled with astonishment, surprise, and a little imperceptible... joy?

Ye Zi was in a daze, before he could see clearly, a few people came out from nowhere and hurriedly pulled him away.When Ye Zi came back to his senses, he had already been forced to kneel on the ground.

The steward was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, so he hurried to help Gu Yan up: "My lord, where did you fall? What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and call for a doctor!"

"No need." Gu Yan gently pushed away the person who was supporting him, stood up, his eyes were still fixed on Ye Zi, "I'm fine."

Ye Zi lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.

It stands to reason that Gu Yan has never seen his face before, so he should not recognize him.But I don't know why, the way Gu Yan looked at him just now didn't seem to be looking at a stranger.

Just as he was wondering, the pair of brocade white boots walked in front of him, Gu Yan waved away the people who were holding Ye Zi away, and said, "Raise your head up."

Ye Zi's heart turned cold, and he didn't dare to move.

Gu Yan bent down and whispered in his ear: "You want me to say it a second time?"

At the same time, a cold hand fell on Ye Zi's face.That hand slowly slid down Ye Zi's face, gently lifting his chin, forcing him to raise his head.

Gu Yan looked at him for a while, and asked, "Where are you from, why haven't I seen you before?"

Ye Zi's eyes wandered and she didn't dare to look at him, she bit the bullet and lied: "I... I just entered the mansion today."

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes: "Just entered the mansion?"

The orange cat was previously frightened by the sound of Ye Zi falling and hid aside, but now that the weather is calm, it boldly sneaks over again, eager to try to get close to Ye Zi again.

Ye Zi was still thinking about how to make up a reason in his head, but when he saw the cat approaching, his mind went blank with fright, he wanted to escape but didn't dare to escape, and pitifully grabbed Gu Yan's clothes.

Gu Yan glanced behind him and understood: "Are you afraid of cats?"

Ye Zi whispered, "I'm afraid..."

Gu Yan chuckled, and told the attendant beside him: "Take this cat down."

The orange cat was carried away, and before Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Yan said again: "Today there are guests in the house, you come and serve them."

……what?

The author has something to say: Gu Yan: I heard that I locked you in the room and didn't let you wear clothes?

Ye Zi: Well, listen to my explanation...

No need to explain, just do it again :)
