The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 44 You Touch Me

Shang Bingjiu sat at the table with his hands in his pockets, his fox eyes curved with a smile: "The little princess knows a lot."

Xiao Baojing: It feels like a punch on cotton.

She always felt that this person was being mean to her, but she had no evidence!
She had no choice but to puff out her cheeks and distribute bowls and chopsticks to the people.

The moon is full in the sky.

Yaoyao filled the glasses of cherry wine for several people. An orange-yellow moon was reflected in the wine cup, round and bright.

Shang Bingjiu stared at the moon, seemed very dissatisfied, and drank the wine.

Xiao Baojing called out to Xiao Qian: "Your Highness, please don't be polite with us. Eat more!"

Xiao Qian said "hmm" gently and drank a glass of cherry wine.

Suddenly, a rustling sound was heard from the banana bushes nearby, and soon a white and tender little hand stretched out.

The little hand was holding a basket of freshly picked plump cherries, and like a thief, she placed it awkwardly next to the bamboo chair where Shang Bingjiu was sitting.

There was a piece of paper stuck to the handle of the basket, with two large characters written crookedly on it:

--Thanks.

The little hand was about to retract, but Yaoyao grabbed it with a sharp eye: "Liu Yingtao, you're here!"

"Liu Yingtao" is the name the cherry tree spirit gave to himself.

She wants to have the same surname as Granny Liu.

Being dragged out by Yaoyao, Liu Yingtao turned her face away uncomfortably: "Just passing by!"

Xiao Baojing smiled and handed her a set of bowls and chopsticks: "Since you are here, have a drink with us!"

The moon rose higher and higher, but the small courtyard was still bustling.

Yaoyao held the old hen and sat on the steps with Liu Yingtao, competing to see whose head could grow leaves faster.

Xiao Qian was drunk, and became the same person he was in the loquat garden, nagging: "Brother, you must treat your sister-in-law well! It's not easy for us Taoist brothers to find a wife, give her whatever she wants, and don't make her angry! It's the right thing to do to expand our sect as soon as possible!"

Shang Bingjiu put his hands in his pockets, staring at the thin moon in the wine cup with hatred, and ignored him.

Xiao Qian turned to Xiao Baojing again: "Sister-in-law, you...you are my little sister!"

He choked and suddenly burst into tears, wiping his eyes: "It's my fault. As the eldest brother, I didn't take good care of you. When I was in the palace, I was busy with my studies and neglected you, causing you to be bullied by other brothers and sisters for many years. Now, I personally sent you to marry, but I didn't expect that I would send you to a den of thieves, and let you die so miserably! Big brother will take you home, big brother will take you home tomorrow..."

The crown prince, who was usually dignified and reserved, cried like a baby at the dinner table.

He attaches great importance to "home".

Even though the Julu Mountains are full of dangers, he is determined to bring his little sister's body home.

Xiao Baojing was a little tipsy and looked at him with his hands on his face.

Crown Prince Xiao Qian...

He seems like a pretty good brother.

……

The sound of the bells echoed among the mountains and rivers.

The young man in Taoist robe and hairpin with flowers on his head, carrying a basket of goods, set out for Yejing again.

There was a box hanging on one end of the shoulder pole. Xiao Baojing had just woken up. He opened the lid with sleepy eyes and looked around: "Where are we? How long will it take to get to Yejing?"

"We are almost at Xiangshui County."

"Oh!" Xiao Baojing seemed to understand something. "That's where Ji Huaisheng was sent to serve as an official, right? I heard from the lawyer in Rongcheng that the Ji family's ancestral home is in Xiangshui County. Prime Minister Ji, as a noble son from a poor family, married Princess Wumian here and cured the flood here. From then on, he rose to prominence and led the Ji family step by step into Yejing, becoming the most prominent family in the dynasty!"

Shang Bingjiu looked at the darkening sky, took out the walnut carving, and placed the banana courtyard by the water in the mountains.

Xiao Baojing jumped out of the cage and rubbed his arms subconsciously: "It's already May, why is it still so cold?"

After rubbing, she suddenly froze again.

Can she clearly sense the cold and the heat?
Unlike the previous perception that was like being covered by a veil, now she can clearly feel the hot and cold temperatures in the air!

She jumped out of the door: "Peddler, I can feel the cold and the heat!"

Shang Bingjiu was hanging red lanterns on the eaves with a bamboo pole. He curved his fox eyes and stretched out his hand to her: "Then feel my hand to see if it is cold or warm."

Xiao Baojing held his hand.

The boy's hands were long and strong, and felt cool to the touch.

She said crisply, "Your hands are not as warm as mine. When you touch me, my body feels warm! I have never been this hot before!"

Shang Bingjiu held her hand in return.

The girl's hands were very soft, like some fresh petals.

It feels very warm when held in the palm of your hand.

He looked down at her and asked with concern, "Your hands are very hot. Are other parts of your body hot too?"

"Of course!"

"I do not believe."

Xiao Baojing turned his face to the side: "If you don't believe me, touch my face!"

"Okay."

Shang Bingjiu reached out and touched her cheek.

The girl's cheeks are plump and tender, just like peeled lychees, white with a hint of bright red.

Xiao Baojing raised her eyelashes and accidentally met his smiling eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

It was like sweating profusely while listening to the cicadas chirping in midsummer. Suddenly, someone handed her a bottle of water. Xiao Baojing took a big gulp of it, only to find out unexpectedly that it was iced orange soda. The sweet and sour bubbles burst between her lips and teeth in an instant, and the taste instantly rushed to the top of her head, making her breath choke.

asphyxia.

But secretly happy.

Two small red clouds appeared on the girl's cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye, even more rosy and dazzling than the sunset in the sky.

Shang Bingjiu could even clearly feel the exploding heat in his palms.

Xiao Baojing suddenly took two steps back, lifted her skirt, turned around, and rushed into the house quickly.

She hid in a cage. Even though she had no heart, she had the illusion that her heart was beating faster.

It was as if all the secrets from inside to outside were exposed to the sun and were slowly examined by the peddler.

Although she had done nothing shameful, she still felt flustered, as if two armies were fighting and the other side hadn't done anything yet, but she had already started to panic.

She covered her burning face.

This feeling is so strange!

Xiao Baojing didn't dare face the peddler tonight.

She dragged the box to the next room to sleep. Even though she had put bedding and pillows in it, she was still woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.

It’s really weird that it’s so cold at night in the early summer!
She sneezed, climbed out of the cage and tried to find another quilt.

But suddenly I saw a person standing outside the window.

She was a girl in her twenties, with fair skin and a cool and elegant figure. She had a high bun that cut through the clouds, a pearl flower ornament on her brow, and an elegant and graceful ice-blue brocade palace skirt that fluttered in the night wind.

She was surrounded by white mist, the stream behind her was frozen over, and even the grass and trees around her were covered with frost.

Probably unable to enter the house, she just looked at Xiao Baojing quietly.

Xiao Baojing: "..."

What kind of monster is this!
Fortunately, the woman only lingered outside the window for a moment and then floated away lightly.

Xiao Baojing was so frightened that he simply dragged the box back to the peddler's room and went to sleep.

Xiao Baojing slept until dusk the next day and sneezed violently as soon as he woke up.

She caught a cold.

Can puppets catch colds?
