Chapter 807 No Thought
Xiao Chen nodded and said "hmm".
"Brother, do you think it is possible that one day you fall in love with Aying, but Aying falls in love with another man?"
Xiao Chen asked with a smile, "Are you saying that she will fall in love with Qing Chang'an?"
"It doesn't have to be Qing Chang'an."
Xiao Yao frowned slightly, "Besides, Qing Chang'an is not bad either, he is as handsome as Pan An, and his writing is brilliant. How many noble ladies admire him?"
"It's just that he only likes Aying. Although the two of them broke off the engagement, Qing Chang'an came to me and said that he would properly settle the concubine and the eldest son, and would be devoted to Aying for the rest of his life.
Qing Changan asked me to give him a chance, so he came to the National Women's Prison."
Sighing, Xiao Yao continued, "You are my royal brother, and he is my good subject. You can't be too partial to him."
Xiao Chen laughed.
Yao'er's words stimulated him...
Xiao Yao really couldn't figure out what her brother was thinking, so she just let it go and shouted, "Sword Five."
But in the blink of an eye, Jian Wu responded from outside the window, "Your Majesty."
"Send me back to the palace."
"Yes."
Xiao Chen stood up to see him off.
Xiao Yao raised her hand, "You don't have to send me off. Although my brother has never refused Aying's approach, my brother has never taken the initiative to approach Aying, right?"
"Your Majesty, walk slowly."
Xiao Yao: “!!!”
She is really, really, a stubborn person - forget it, just let him be!
Xiao Chen watched Jian Wu and Xiao Yao walk away, closed the door, washed up, blew out the light and went to bed.
As usual, his sleep was not as good as before, and he always thought of Xie Ying in his mind.
And today, she actually walked with Qing Changan.
The Zhaishe and Xinglinzhai are not on the same road at all, but they are walking together so late at night, which shows that they have a harmonious relationship and are open-minded.
As Xiao Chen was thinking, his eyelids began to twitch and he became drowsy without knowing when. The lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom.
The girl was standing by the lotus pond, dancing gracefully. The sound of falling cherry blossoms was blown by somewhere, but her delicate figure was like a fairy from heaven. Her every frown and smile made his heart tighten. Gradually, his heartbeat began to speed up, making him feel flustered.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please come here. How about I dance for you?" The girl waved at him, her smile as bright as a pearl.
He walked over unconsciously.
The next moment, the girl's long sleeves brushed his cheek, and when he saw Xie Ying again, her eyes were smiling, pulling him to keep looking at her.
"Ah..." The girl slipped and was about to fall into the lotus pond. He had no time to care about her and quickly grabbed the girl's waist, but unfortunately her shoes and socks were still wet.
"Your Highness, I'm cold." Xie Ying raised her head and called out weakly. He must have been too nervous just now, so he didn't notice that her clothes were also wet.
"My Lord, can I wear your clothes?"
"Your Highness, what do you think of my outfit?" The girl stood in front of him in a loose white dress, her cheeks rosy and a little shy.
"Why doesn't your Highness look at me? Am I ugly?"
"Oh, oh, oh... I like the prince so much, I stick to him shamelessly, but the prince is so good that he never even looks at me."
Xiao Chen couldn't bear to hear the sobbing sound, so he had to open his eyes. Their breaths intertwined, the girl put her arms around his neck, watching his lips get closer and closer.
"Your Highness is the most handsome man I have ever seen. No one in the world can compare to you..."
"Husband, please kiss Aying, okay?"
As soon as the words fell, her soft lips kissed his. The throbbing heart made him lose some of his rationality. When her soft lips rubbed against his, and even when she wanted to pull away, he held the back of the girl's head and deepened the kiss...
"Husband, husband..."
dong dong dong...
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time to go to court." Xiao Chen woke up from his daze when he heard Jian Wu knocking on the door.
He was still in a dream and couldn't believe that his body had changed. He even sat up and couldn't even look at that place.
"Your Majesty..."
"Got it." Xiao Chen replied.
Jianwu then stopped knocking on the door and shouting.
Xiao Chen sat on the bed, and it was not until an incense stick of time passed that his mood slowly calmed down.
After washing.
Xiao Chen looked back at the drawer where the incense was hidden. He hadn't used incense for a long, long time, so why was his dream becoming more and more difficult to talk about?
The morning breeze is cool.
Xiao Chen and Jian Wu walked out of Gezhizhai and soon met Qing Changan who was waiting there.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Qing Chang'an saluted.
"What are you doing, Lord Qing?" Why was he waiting for him here so early in the morning?
Qing Changan glanced at Jian Wu.
Xiao Chen nodded.
Jian Wu clasped his fists and said, "I will go and prepare the horses." The prince got up late this morning, and he might be late for court if he took the carriage.
The sky is dotted with stars, the bright moon is about to set, but the sky is still dark.
Qing Changan suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Chen and said, "I dare to ask you a few questions."
Xiao Chen seemed to guess what he was going to ask.
"Please speak, my lord."
Qing Changan asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, do you like Aying?"
Do you like Aying?
Xiao Chen didn’t know.
"If Your Majesty doesn't answer, does that mean he doesn't like it?" Qing Chang'an asked.
Thinking about his recent sleeplessness due to many dreams, Xiao Chen swallowed his words and looked at Qing Changan and said, "What does this have to do with you, Lord Qing?"
Qing Changan: "..."
"I have been in love with Miss Xie for many years. I know I am not as good as the prince, but I don't want to give up. I just want to know what the prince thinks of Miss Xie."
What's on your mind...
"I don't have any thoughts for now."
Xiao Chen said frankly, looking at Qing Chang'an, "I heard that you have a concubine and a concubine's eldest son in your mansion. The husband that A Ying wants should be a lifelong partner."
Qing Changan bit his lip slightly, and finally raised his head, "I was confused back then. As long as Aying gives me a chance, I will make arrangements and never let them disturb Aying at all. From now on, I will not have any woman other than Aying."
"I promise, Your Majesty."
"You - promise me?" Xiao Chen looked at Qing Changan. Did he know what he was saying?
Qing Changan nodded, "I know that Your Majesty is devoted to Buddhism, but Aying may like Your Majesty, so - so, I can assure Your Majesty that I will never let Aying down."
"Then you should also go and make a promise to the Duke, or to Mr. Xie, or to Miss Xie."
Qing Changan smiled bitterly for a moment.
He was willing to risk everything today just to find out whether Xiao Chen had Xie Ying in his heart. If not, then he still had a great chance.
But now——
The prince simply refused to accept the challenge, or did he already have feelings for Aying beneath his seemingly ruthless exterior?
Qing Changan didn't know, "If the prince really likes Aying, I will never give in easily."
"Miss Xie, do you understand what you are thinking?" She actually came to him, which really showed her the sincerity of her feelings.
Qing Chang'an looked at Xiao Chen. Everyone said that His Royal Highness Prince Chen was pure and gentle like jade, but in fact, he saw a sharp light in his eyes, like that of the retired emperor.
