Chapter 787 1 Everything has changed

Turning his head, he looked at the incense burner with faint green smoke and couldn't help feeling suspicious. This incense was given by Yao'er, who said it was mixed by a master from Mount Emei.

It can repel mosquitoes and help you sleep.

The mosquito repellent effect is excellent, but it cannot help you sleep.

He took out the big jar of incense, then pinched a little on his fingertips and carefully put it to his nose and smelled it.

He didn't think much of it at first, but just when he felt relieved and was about to let go of his hand, suddenly a warm and strange fragrance wafted into his nose.

This is--

Xiao Chen was startled.

He picked some more and smelled them. The more he smelled, the more incredible it seemed to him. Then he put the jar of incense back to its original place.

It’s very good, but too good. Yao’er actually gave him incense with this kind of ingredients. This is not to arouse his passion, but to arouse his animal desires!

Xiao Chen cleaned out the incense in the incense burner.

Then he changed into the incense he used before, and stared at the incense given by Yao'er in a daze. If he sent the incense back, who knows what other tricks they might have waiting for him.

With a chuckle, Xiao Chen put the incense back to its original place and pretended not to know, so that he could have some peace and quiet for a while.

Thinking about it, Xiao Chen remembered a brocade box he brought to the academy.

He turned and went to the small study room at the side, then found a brocade box from the bookcase. He opened the box and found a scroll of painting inside.

Xiao Chen opened the painting.

The girl in the picture has bright eyes and white teeth. She has her hair tied up in a simple bun, and the pink skirt makes her face look even more delicate.

On that smiling face, there are faint dimples, and at a glance you can see her former bright and beautiful appearance...

This painting was secretly hidden by him when she sent it to the island in the middle of the lake.

He looked at this painting more than once, just to see if he could see any connection with it.

After all, Master Ding said that it was Uncle Rong who said that he and Xie Ying were destined to be together, and that she was his only true love.

After looking at her several times, I didn't feel anything except that the girl was very pretty.

And tonight, he didn't even know when his fingertips touched the girl's cheek.

Looking at her bright eyes and slightly smiling lips, he couldn't help but smile. In fact, when she smiled, she looked much younger than she did now, but her gloomy look was much cuter.

No matter what, Xiao Chen naturally hopes that Xie Ying can return to the way she was before. She should have been bright and beautiful.

After putting away the painting, Xiao Chen returned to bed.

In my mind, the image of that bright girl is still there.

In addition to the scene in the dream where he almost committed adultery, there was also the scene that day when he grabbed her ankle, causing her to be injured, and she told him with tears in her eyes that it hurt.

And he always carried her to the Imperial Hospital and carried her back to the Duke's Mansion.

Such a clean and delicate girl, when they were alone, actually took his hand and pecked his palm three times.

At that time, his eyes were not entirely on their hands, and he could see her face from the corner of his eye.

And those beautiful eyes and those red lips.

Her hands were light and smooth, and when her five fingers gently pecked his palm, it was as if an electric current was running through his meridians. The slight numbness only slowly dissipated after he returned to the academy.

At that time, he saw Xie Ying's lips move slightly, and she said: I like you.

Or it could mean: I love you.

In short, she confessed to him so boldly.

At that moment, his heart was beating like a rebellion, it was beating so violently that if he was not careful, it would jump out of his throat.

From that day on, he would always dream of Xie Ying. In his dreams, on her birthday, she was wearing a white jade peach blossom hairpin, her face was as red as a peach, and she was smiling.

I dreamed that she was frowning and looking unhappy.

I dreamed that her eyes were full of affection and she confessed her love to him. After being rejected, her crystal tears rolled down like pearls. She told him aggrievedly that he was a heartless ice cone, icy and cold, not fun at all, and did not know how to be gentle with women.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile. He really couldn't tell whether it was because of the incense, or whether there was really a connection between him and Xie Ying?

At some point, Xiao Chen fell into a deep sleep.

He woke up to the sound of someone reading aloud. A little sunlight came in through the window and shone on his face.

He propped himself up and looked towards the bronze incense burner. There was little smoke coming out of it, and he didn't feel as hot as usual.

He slept very deeply and had no dreams. He took a deep breath and thought to himself, I have finally survived this ordeal.

Then, Xiao Chen got up.

Jian Wu heard the noise and came into the room with water for washing, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Chen hummed and said, "I said I can do these things myself."

"The Emperor has instructed us to take good care of the Prince."

"But the emperor also said that from now on, you will only obey me."

Jian Wu nodded, "Yes, my lord."

After washing.

The sound of reading stopped. Xiao Chen looked at the sun in the sky. It was already noon. Today, not only did he not go to court, he also had not dealt with some affairs of the academy.

Only then did he realize that Jian Wu had quietly withdrawn at some point.

He knew what Jianwu was going to do.

After about an incense stick of time, Jianwu returned with the food from the academy cafeteria.

Xiao Chen thanked him and said, "I seem to have gradually become accustomed to your care."

Jian Wu said, "Your Majesty should be used to it."

"No." He had followed Master Changkong and Master Ding since he was young. After he was eight years old, they didn't take much care of him.

"Everything has changed." Xiao Chen seemed to be talking to himself, and even his state of mind seemed to have changed a lot.

Jian Wu: “…” Apart from having more dreams and waking up early, the prince seemed to have no changes.

Xiao Chen smiled, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Was it the incense, or was he himself a changed person?

But he remembered that before Yao'er gave him the incense, he had vaguely dreamed of a graceful girl once.

The dream was unreal, but she knew it was Xie Ying. He was the one who made tea for her on the island in the middle of the lake, appreciating the flowers and tasting the tea. That was all...

After meal.

Xiao Chen walked out of his residence and went to the front yard, ready to go to work, but he saw Xie Ying when passing by the lotus pond.

"It's Miss Xie." Jian Wu said.

Xiao Chen looked at Jian Wu, who lowered his head and said, "I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth. Did he mean for Jian Wu to stay away?

Not!

With a wry smile, he was about to move forward, but suddenly he heard a scream, followed by the sound of someone falling into the water.

"Help, help..."

Xiao Chen's heart tightened, but in the blink of an eye he flew over and pulled Xie Ying out of the lotus pond.

It was summer, and her thin gauze skirt stuck to her body, outlining her graceful figure vaguely.

Xiao Chen was flustered and quickly looked away, took off his coat and wrapped it around her, "Put mine on first."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness, for saving me again." The girl's voice was delicate and a little tearful.

Xiao Chen frowned when he heard this, and when he looked at her, the girl's eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was about to cry.
