Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 114 Exchange Tokens
Besides, she doesn't have any particularly distinguished status, if some little maid or eunuch picks it up, she won't even know there is someone like her.

Thinking about it again, she fell into the water, maybe she fell into the pool.

The more she thought about it, the more hopeless she felt. She hated herself ten thousand times in her heart. Why did she still have to be so careless even though she knew the importance of this hairpin.

Now, this hairpin appeared in front of her eyes, how could she be unhappy and grateful!

She stretched out her hand to take it in surprise, but saw Li Xuanye's hand retracted, and the gaze that glanced at her seemed to be nothing, but it was full of warning.

Zhao Xiwei suddenly looked like a deflated ball.

This clearly does not want to return to her.

But what's the use of keeping this, His Royal Highness, is there still a hairpin missing?

Maybe it was because he accidentally offended him just now that he wanted to make things difficult for himself.

Zhao Xiwei sighed inwardly, she had to bow her head under the eaves, what could she do when she met such an unreasonable person?
Isn't it just to please him?

What's so hard about this!
She bent her knees lightly, and performed the Wanfu ceremony, her voice was just right, gentle and well-behaved: "I know I was wrong, and I have delayed His Highness for half a day, and even offended His Highness, I apologize to His Highness, and I wish His Highness the Crown Prince Adults don’t remember the faults of villains, don’t be as knowledgeable as little girls.”

After finishing speaking, she looked at him pitifully with those clear and bright almond eyes.

This look seemed familiar, and for no reason, it reminded Li Xuanye of the beautiful scene of the hot spring pool that day.

There was a surge of heat in his chest for no reason, his eyes darkened, and he moved away after he understood.

Zhao Xiwei only thought that he was still angry. Although she didn't understand why, she still resigned herself to showing weakness——she lowered her posture as much as possible, and her voice was so soft that water could be squeezed out, rippling in waves wave after wave. In his heart: "My daughter knows she's wrong, please don't be angry, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

As he said that, the look in his eyes became even more pitiful, as if there was a pool of faint spring water in his mouth, as if as long as he refused cruelly, the water would turn into crystal teardrops and sprinkle down the world.

Across a desk, Li Xuanye's eyes were deep and gloomy, like cool stars penetrating the night sky, and easily penetrated her heart.

Zhao Xiwei was only thinking about her hairpin, and begged for mercy persistently: "Your Highness, you don't know that although this hairpin is worthless, it is the first piece of jewelry in my life. It means a lot to me. If you can return it to me, Your Highness I, I must thank you for your kindness."

Just when she was about to give up, the indifferent and cold-faced Buddha finally spoke: "Thank you?"

Zhao Xiwei's expression froze on his face.

Li Xuanye put the hairpin on the table and looked at her intently.

Zhao Xiwei felt uncomfortable being watched by him, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of how to thank the Buddha.

Thinking of what Cui Yutang said about Deyue Tower inviting you to dinner, he cautiously asked, "If His Highness returns the hairpin to me, I will treat His Highness to dinner, okay?"

At the end, he added a guilty conscience: "If His Highness doesn't dislike it."

Li Xuanye nodded, looked at her a little colder, and said bluntly: "Repaying Mr. Cui is a treat, and repaying Gu is also a treat?"

Zhao Xiwei wanted to die.

How can I say that everything is wrong?When we first met, I didn't realize that he was such a hard-to-talk person!

She only felt cold sweat breaking out on her back, and hurriedly explained: "No! What a noble person your Highness is, how can Cui Pei and the other two be compared with you! When I said please eat, I naturally invite you to eat at Quan Changan The most delicious lotus feast!"

Li Xuanye remained silent and looked at her indifferently.

When Zhao Xiwei came to his senses, he wished he could bite off his tongue.

The crown prince is the prince of the country, what kind of delicacies have you never tasted in the palace, and what is the most delicious banquet in Chang'an?
She was so depressed that she was about to shed tears, but she still didn't want to give up. She asked, "Then...does Your Highness like to drink tea? Now that the plum blossoms are in full bloom, can I make you a cake of plum blossom tea myself?"

Li Xuanye's expression finally eased a little, he pinched the hairpin between his fingers, and said lightly: "Forget it, let me ask you a question, how did this hairpin fall into Gu's hands?"

"..."

Zhao Xiwei stared at the sky speechlessly.

After thinking about it for a long time, she tentatively said: "Princess Lingxi picked it up after I fell into the water. It is inconvenient for her to return it to me, so she put it here with His Highness?"

"..."

Zhao Xiwei said again: "I accidentally left it on the palace road, and His Highness happened to pass by, so I picked it up?"

"..."

After thinking and thinking, she struggled to come up with the last possibility: "Could it be that I forgot what happened after I fell into the water?"

"..."

Li Xuanye looked at her and saw that her face was full of bewilderment. With a movement of her fingers, the hairpin twirled, and then retracted her sleeves.

Zhao Xiwei was so anxious that he walked around the desk in two steps: "Your Highness, that is my hairpin!"

"I know it's yours." Li Xuanye didn't have the slightest shame to usurp other people's belongings, and he straightened his sleeves slowly, "When did you remember, and tell Gu again, Gu will not only return this hairpin to the original owner, but also return it to the original owner." I will grant you a request."

"..."

Zhao Xiwei was completely dumbfounded.

After being dazed for a long time, she realized an important question. The prince said that he would grant her a request?
"a request?"

Li Xuanye nodded: "Yes, any request."

Zhao Xiwei couldn't believe it: "Is any request okay?"

Li Xuanye's voice was calm: "As long as you don't violate the laws of the Great Wei, Gu will agree to you."

Zhao Xiwei looked at him for a long time and saw that he didn't mean to joke at all. For the first time in his life, he had deep doubts about this world.

But there is one thing that cannot be doubted, that is, the Buddha in front of him is definitely not such a talkative person!
But there is no way, as long as he doesn't return his hairpin for a day, she will obey orders obediently.

Zhao Xiwei stretched out a hand: "Empty words have no evidence, His Highness should leave evidence."

Li Xuanye's eyes were cold: "I'm the heir of a country alone, how could I lie to you?"

"No." Zhao Xiwei is not so easy to fool, she said firmly, "The hairpin is my most important thing, and it has been confiscated by His Highness now, if I remember it at that time, His Highness has broken his promise, I will go What's the point? Besides, if I never remember it, will His Highness keep this hairpin and never return it to me? So just to be on the safe side, Your Highness should give me a token."

She spoke confidently, and the original cuteness disappeared without a trace.

The corner of Li Xuanye's mouth curled up in a happy arc, and he looked at her with a half-smile, and asked slowly: "Are you serious, want to exchange evidence with Gu?"
