Chapter 192 I will hold an umbrella for you

The oil-paper umbrella that suddenly appeared in sight covered the night sky, reflecting the dim light not far away, becoming the only bright color in the night.

Xie Shuangge couldn't help but look twice more, then lowered her head and turned around slowly, but when she saw the person behind her, she couldn't help being stunned, "Third Princess?"

"I haven't seen you for half a day, so my sister is unfamiliar with me? Cough cough——"

Wei Jiuting joked with a smile, but the wind blew, her face changed, she turned her head and coughed.

The hand holding the handle of the umbrella was trembling, and the raindrops fell on the surface of the umbrella, flowed down the edge, was shaken down again, fell to the ground, and shattered into smaller drops.

Xie Shuangge couldn't bear it, reached out to take the umbrella, and patted Wei Jiuting's back, "Are you uncomfortable? It's so late and it's still so cold, why do you only wear this?"

The clothes under her palm were so thin that they couldn't cover anything, and her thin body could be felt with almost a touch.

She couldn't help feeling: "You are too thin, and I feel that a little wind can blow you away."

Wei Jiuting laughed softly, "It's not that exaggerated."

"Where is the exaggeration? Look at this bone—"

Xie Shuangge stroked her back, and Wei Jiuting suddenly blushed, straightened her waist, and held her wrist with her backhand.

Xie Shuangge was taken aback, seeing her shy look, quickly withdrew her hand, "Sorry, I was the one to be abrupt."

Wei Jiuting shook her head, "No, I just feel itchy."

"Why are you here?" Xie Shuangge unconsciously tilted the umbrella towards Wei Jiuting. Wei Jiuting smiled and said, "I just came out from the imperial grandmother's side. I heard that you just left. I thought you might I'm not in a good mood, just follow me to see, you are indeed in the imperial garden."

"Huh?" Xie Shuangge was taken aback, "Why?"

"Because you liked to run to the Royal Garden whenever you were unhappy or angry when you were young, so that no one would find you."

Wei Jiuting's tone was normal, with a smile on her lips, as if she was talking about a very interesting trifle, but Xie Shuangge felt complicated when she heard it.

She couldn't remember anything about her childhood, how could Wei Jiuting remember it so clearly?

How old was she then?
"Are you feeling better now?" Wei Jiuting glanced at her.

Xie Shuangge nodded hesitantly. Before Wei Jiuting came, she was still a little sad, but when she came, her emotions were broken, and she couldn't feel sad. It would be a bit hypocritical to insist on being sad.

"It's fine if you don't feel uncomfortable, then I'll send you out of the palace, it's getting late." Wei Jiuting wanted to take the umbrella back as she said.

Singer Xie Shuang retreated back and dodged, Wei Jiuting looked at her suspiciously.

"Let me see you off, you don't wear so little, you should catch a cold if you stand for a while, I'll take you back to the palace and I'll go back."

Seeing her persistence, Wei Jiuting didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement.

The two walked back together side by side, the umbrella was not big, and they were very close, so close that they could smell each other clearly, Wei Jiuting's eyes flickered slightly, and she took a deep breath.

Xie Shuangge didn't realize it, and kept recalling her previous thoughts in her heart.

Walking outside the imperial garden, Qingtao got an umbrella from somewhere, and was hurrying over here when she saw Xie Shuangge and Wei Jiuting's eyes lit up, "My servant has seen the third princess."

Wei Jiuting took a look at her, "It's your maid."

Xie Shuangge nodded, "Have you gone to fetch the umbrella?"

"Yes, seeing that it was raining, the servant girl went a little further to find the patrolling guards and asked them to fetch an umbrella for her."

"Princess..." Qingtao looked at Wei Jiuting and then at Xie Shuangge, and she was in trouble. The princess didn't seem to need an umbrella now.

Xie Shuangge glanced at Wei Jiuting, and Wei Jiuting's eyes were full of light, "Is my sister going to leave me first? It's okay, it's time to go back. I can do it myself."

Xie Shuangge: "..."

Qingtao: "..."

The words of farewell came to her lips and she swallowed them embarrassingly. The master and servant looked at each other. Before Xie Shuangge could speak, Wei Jiuting coughed again.

Xie Shuangge immediately said: "It's okay, anyway, this place is not far from Cangxue Palace, I'll see you off for a few steps."

Wei Jiuting laughed immediately, "Okay, thank you sister."

Xie Shuangge's eyes lit up, but he didn't feel that it was too uncomfortable to be forced to give it away.

The three of them walked to the Tibetan Snow Palace in silence, Xie Shuangge shielded Wei Jiuting from the wind along the way, Wei Jiuting looked at Xie Shuangge's profile, and her greed became more and more uncontrollable.

Seeing that they came to a corner, and the front was pitch black, Wei Jiuting stretched out her hand to grab Xie Shuangge's arm, but her eyes suddenly lit up.

The three of them paused at the same time, and her hand froze in the air.

Xie Shuangge looked up, and saw an octagonal glazed lamp protruding from the corner, illuminating the dark lines on the black robe.

On the top is an ermine-colored purse, adorned with light silver tassels, gently swaying with the wind, from Xie Shuangge's eyes to the bottom of her heart.

Xie Shuangge opened his eyes slightly, and looking up, there was Chu Wuhen's deep and indifferent face. The moment his dark eyes saw her, he showed a feeling of relief.

Xie Shuangge's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out: "Why did you run out again?"

Chu Wuhen's eyes slightly bent, "The princess hasn't come home so late, I'm a little worried, and seeing that it's raining outside, I thought the princess didn't have an umbrella, so I came to pick you up."

His gaze reluctantly moved away from Xie Shuangge's face, and when it fell on Wei Jiuting's face, the previous tenderness disappeared without a trace, and he returned to his usual indifference, "I have seen the third princess."

"This is Lord Chu?" Wei Jiuting said softly, "Excuse me."

Chu Wuhen nodded: "The minister is the commander of Jin Yiwei, Chu Wuhen."

After finishing speaking, he looked away, not interested in Wei Jiuting at all, "Is the princess going to send the third princess?"

Xie Shuangge nodded, "My cousin went to the Imperial Garden to look for me, gave me an umbrella, and wanted to send me out of the palace, but she didn't wear too much. I was afraid that she would catch a cold, so I planned to send her back before leaving the palace."

"In that case, I will escort the two princesses."

As he spoke, he walked to the other side of Xie Shuangge with a lantern and an umbrella.

Seeing this, Wei Jiuting smiled, "Lord Chu is considerate. I never imagined that the indifferent commander in front of others would be so gentle in private. I'm afraid not many people would believe it if it spread the word."

Chu Wuhen narrowed his eyes, "What does the princess want to say?"

Wei Jiuting smiled: "My lord, you don't have to be nervous. It's just that I heard some rumors about your lord before entering the palace. I always thought that your lord is tall, strong, and vicious. When I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were really unbelievable."

Xie Shuangge turned to look at Chu Wuhen, and bent his lips, "That's right, Commander Chu has a bad reputation, and anyone who sees him will stay away. It's no wonder that rumors are rampant."

Chu Wuhen pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I am wronged."

Xie Shuangge chuckled, "You know in your heart whether you have been wronged or not."

She turned her head to look at Wei Jiuting: "Let's go."

Wei Jiuting shook her head, took back the umbrella from singer Xie Shuang, "I'll go back by myself."

　Wei Jiuting: If I had known he was coming, I would not have come
