Chapter 268 A Delicate Flower in Zichen Palace

The back of his neck was numb, Zhao Xi reflexively turned his head to avoid it, and gave him a shameful glance.

His eyes are like water, faintly full of affection.

Li Xuanye consciously lost his composure, clasped his palms, and coughed lightly by putting them to his lips.

Zhao Xiwei's heart softened when he saw it.

She had a severe attack of cold this time, and the doctor said that she should calm down and recuperate...

It is said to be one to three months, but who knows how long it will take to fully recover?
Li Xuanye has only been quiet for two or three days since he was entangled in love affairs, and he just can't bear to flirt, so what will he do in the future...

Thinking of this, I felt a "thump" in my heart——

Or sleep separately at night!

Suddenly I felt a little ashamed...

Fortunately, at this time, the aunt brought up the heated honey smoothie, no, it should be called sugar water now.

Crystal clear glutinous rice balls, with lotus seeds, peanuts, red beans, sprinkled with honey and osmanthus.

Sweet, glutinous and soft, smooth in the mouth.

Zhao Xiwei immediately forgot the sensitive thoughts just now, and took several mouthfuls in a row, only feeling that the internal organs were sweet and warm, and his eyes were bent into crescent moons in comfort.

Li Xuanye was sitting opposite, resting his forehead with one hand, looking at her softly.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, she pushed the bowl away, her eyes sparkling and she said with a smile, "Try it too!"

Li Xuanye glanced at her, then stretched out his hand and pushed the bowl back, saying with disgust on his face, "I don't want to eat."

Zhao Xiwei looked around suspiciously, then approached him, and asked in a low voice, "Are you afraid that someone will poison you? But I ate half of the bowl—"

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuanye suddenly let out a low laugh.

Zhao Xiwei didn't know why.

"What are you thinking." He pinched her ear lightly, and said with a smile, "At the feet of the emperor, do you look down on me or the assassin?"

Zhao Xiwei smiled "hehe", took a spoonful with a spoon, and handed it to his mouth: "Then you have a taste, it's really delicious!"

With a delicate voice and full of smiles, Li Xuanye's heart was shaken, and he stretched out his hand with a smile——

"It's useless to act like a baby." She pushed her hand away, with an inviolable expression on her face, "I never eat outside food."

What kind of special habit is this...

Zhao Xi was slightly surprised: "...never eat?"

"Well, never." Li Xuanye was very firm.

Zhao Xiwei was still surprised: "Then what should you do when you go away?"

Li Xuanye glanced at her strangely, and said in a low voice, "Of course the chef will follow."

"Can you bring a chef with you wherever you go?"

"of course."

Zhao Xiwei couldn't believe it: "Then what if you just stroll around? Like today, what should you do?"

Li Xuanye was speechless: "The government is busy, do you think I can go out every day?"

"..."

The emperor's health was not good, and all important affairs of state affairs basically fell on the prince's head.

She knows how busy Li Xuanye is, every day before she wakes up, he has already gone to deal with political affairs.

Zhao Xiwei was holding the sugar water, and suddenly felt reluctant to finish it right away...

Scooping up a peanut, put it in her mouth and ate it, she asked again in a low voice: "You ask so much, doesn't Your Majesty say anything?"

"Do not say."

"Why?" Zhao Xiwei's eyes widened.

"Because I'm his favorite child." He casually said while playing with the teacup on the table.

Zhao Xi was slightly depressed.

How can anyone be so confident?

What made her feel even more depressed was that she actually thought his self-confidence was normal...

After a long silence, she put down the spoon and came to a solemn conclusion: "I see, you are a delicate flower in Zichen Palace!"

"Huh?" Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows, and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Have you brought any money? How dare you talk to me like this? You will settle the bill yourself later!"

"It hurts!" Zhao Xiwei grabbed his hand, feeling pitiful.

"Does it hurt you?" Li Xuanye hurriedly let go, and nervously touched her face: "Let me see."

She immediately tilted her head to avoid it, and gave him a sly smile: "Although I have no money, I have your token!"

"That's right." Li Xuanye withdrew his empty hand and nodded again and again: "Show the token, and the hidden guards will come to rescue you soon!"

"Dark guard?" Zhao Xi rubbed his cheeks slightly, "What dark guard?" Seeing his wandering eyes, he suddenly came back to his senses, "The piece of jade you gave me has such a great effect?"

"What do you think?" Li Xuanye glanced at her, "Zhao Xiwei, don't you think it's an ordinary jade pendant?"

"..." His glance was half a smile, but it was inexplicably provocative.

Zhao Xiwei suddenly felt his face burning hot, and turned his head away unnaturally.

"Speaking of which, you asked me for that jade." Li Xuanye chuckled again, "You are the first one who dares to reach out and ask me for something."

"By the way—" he stared at her with a smile: "I've always wondered why you were so courageous back then, but now you blush when you're facing me? Did you do something wrong?"

"..." Although she knew he was teasing her, she still blushed again in disappointment.

I didn't think about it so much at the time, but now I suddenly think about it.

Hairpins and jade pendants are exchanged with each other, no matter how you look at it, it seems like a promise of love...

If she said that she didn't have that kind of thought at the time, no one would believe her...

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I couldn't explain clearly, so I could only pinch the spoon guiltily and stir the sugar water in the bowl again and again.

"Okay." Seeing that the sugar water was getting cold, he stopped teasing her, picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of sugar water, and brought it to her lips.

"..." Zhao Xiwei silently ate two mouthfuls of his hand.

Li Xuanye's feeding movements are amazingly skilled.

His aura was too strong, and the combination of gentleness and coldness made the people around him quiet down inexplicably.

While sipping sugar water, Zhao Xiwei thought in amazement that a prince like Li Xuanye, who was raised in the palm of his hand, could be so good at taking care of others.

In her impression, those pampered people are more or less arrogant, such as Xu Yunjiao, Zhao Chengyu and others.

And gentle and considerate, it seems that only people like her who have suffered enough can develop it.

She poked his sleeve lightly and asked, "Have you suffered anything since you were a child?"

Li Xuanye was startled, although he didn't know why she asked the question suddenly, but he thought about it seriously and said, "No."

Zhao Xiwei asked: "What about martial arts?" I heard that martial arts is very good for tempering one's heart!
But Li Xuanye didn't even have to think about it this time, and said with a smile, "All those who taught me martial arts are masters."

"What about Xiwen?"

He glanced at her: "The ones who taught me to read are all great Confucians."

After a pause, he added, "Except for your grandfather, who refuses to be my teacher."

Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback: "Why?"

She remembered the last time she entered the palace, the emperor mentioned this matter, and his tone was rather displeased.

It is a supreme honor to be the prince's teacher, besides, Li Xuanye is talented and intelligent, so my grandfather has no reason to refuse.

"How would I know?" Li Xuanye put down the bowl, took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her mouth clean, and then snorted coldly: "I was only three years old at the time, Your Majesty invited famous Confucian scholars to enlighten me, only your grandfather refused. I also want to know why?"

The tone was quite resentful.

It is rare to see him like this, Zhao Xiwei couldn't help laughing: "That's a pity, if I were him, I would definitely agree!"

Li Xuanye smiled: "Yes! What a pity! If he had agreed then, maybe Wei'er and I have known each other since childhood!"

Then he pinched her face again: "Childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, that would be great!"

Zhao Xiwei hurriedly avoided his sneak attack, and gave him a look with a smile: "Then maybe I won't be there anymore!"

Li Xuanye paused with his fingers, and suddenly there was a turmoil in his heart.
