Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 104 I'm Disappointed

After another quarter of an hour, they arrived at the gate of the palace. Chu Qingyan got off the carriage, looked at the majestic palace wall, and couldn't help sighing at the big ice cube. It was the first time she had seen such a high wall when she grew up so big. !

Xiao Xu's face darkened when he heard this, and he walked into the palace holding her collar.

How did Chu Qingyan know that he would change his face when he said it, the gentleness in the carriage just now must be her eyes dazzled!

Entering the imperial palace, there is a wide road paved with blue bricks, all the way forward, five steps and one guard, ten steps and a small imperial army patrolling, there are no flowers and trees, but some are cold armor, Chu Qingyan glanced at it In the heavily guarded palace, I sighed in my heart, it really is the most pivotal place in a country, not even a fly can fly in.

But soon she withdrew her gaze and warned herself that from the moment she entered the palace gate, she must be cautious in her words and deeds, so she can't look left and right now. The identity of the big ice cube is a bit delicate in the royal family. Let alone trouble him.

After passing a place similar to a square and passing through a corridor, there is a father-in-law waiting there to lead the way.

"Meet Your Highness the King of England." The beardless elderly father-in-law bowed to Xiao Xu. Judging by his attire, he must be an eunuch of some status in the palace.

"Eunuch Cao, please wait." Xiao Xu said lightly.

"Don't dare to dare," Eunuch Cao turned his head to look at Chu Qingyan with a smile, and then asked, "Is this the Ninth Miss of the Chu family? She is so clever and cute." I wanted to say that he and the King of Ying were a match made in heaven. Yes, but looking at his height and age, no matter how much he talked about people, he wouldn't dare to say it out loud.

Xiao Xu said to Chu Qingyan, "This is the celebrity beside my father, Eunuch Cao."

Chu Qingyan bowed obediently when she heard the words, "Hello, Eunuch Cao."

"I don't dare to be a slave." Eunuch Cao hurriedly avoided Chu Qingyan's gift. He originally thought that Chu Qingyan was just a ten-year-old child who came from the countryside. Beside King Ying, without squinting, with a shallow and cute smile on his face, if he didn't know the inside story, he would think that she was a daughter of a thousand gold who came from some noble family, but I have to say, this Chu Qingyan's appearance It is outstanding, at least among these aristocratic families, it can be said to be among the best.

"Let's go." Xiao Xu didn't like small talk, so he said calmly.

"The slave is confused. Your Majesty should have been waiting impatiently. Please follow the slave." Eunuch Cao bowed and raised his finger to point out the direction, and Xiao Xu led Chu Qingyan forward.

The vermilion palace pillars seem to extend forward without seeing the edge, pass through the aisle, turn around and walk onto the white arch bridge, the goal is the promenade built on the water, surrounded by the rippling lake water, lotus leaves fields , a cluster or a large area, the entire lake is full of greenery.

From a distance, you can see the palace hidden in the green leaves, with the corridors back and forth, the eaves and teeth pecking high, each embracing the terrain, fighting each other.

Chu Qingyan felt a forceful atmosphere and austerity coming towards her.

It wasn't until he stopped in front of the main hall that Eunuch Cao bowed and said, "You two masters, wait a moment before the servants report."

Xiao Xu nodded slightly.

After Eunuch Cao left, Chu Qingyan dared to look at the surrounding buildings. The majestic palaces rose one after another, closely intertwined like fish scales, and the tall palace in front of him, like the core of all the palaces, was surrounded , The glittering glazed tiles all reveal its dignity and majesty.

Royal study.

The three big characters are written on a red plaque as a base, written in thick ink and bordered with golden patterns, which is noble and heavy.

And under each palace pillar, there is a guard with a knife standing there expressionless, very heavily guarded.

After a while, Eunuch Cao came out, but Chu Qingyan noticed the unnatural expression on his face, and couldn't help being a little curious. Could it be that Emperor Xixuan didn't want to see them?
"His Royal Highness King Ying, His Majesty is teaching the fourth prince's homework, please wait here for a moment." Eunuch Cao said with a distressed expression.

"Nothing, we'll wait." Xiao Xu didn't seem to care at all.

Eunuch Cao blessed them and entered the palace.

This wait is half an hour passed.

The sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun was about to cover the hills.

At this time, Chu Qingyan began to feel a little weird. As the eldest prince and the eldest son, Xiao Xu should be treated favorably. Why did he follow orders to come from the mansion, but had to wait outside the palace?

"Big ice cube, how long do we have to wait?" Chu Qingyan raised her head and asked.

Xiao Xu lowered his head and said calmly, "Tired of waiting?"

"No, I just don't know how long it will take to wait like this." Waiting is sometimes a kind of enjoyment, but waiting for something that you don't know when will be the first thing, and you have to continue to wait, it is inevitable that you will feel a little hopeless.

Seeing her rubbing her hands together, Xiao Xu rarely asked carefully, "Are you cold?"

"No...Ah Choo—"

Chu Qingyan smiled and nodded, actually she didn't want to admit it, but how could she know her body was so honest.Although it is midsummer, the wind in the deep palace is colder than the outside. I don't know if it proves that the palaces of every dynasty are built on loess and white bones. There was a gloomy wind blowing from the corner.

Seeing her duplicity, Xiao Xu couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hold her little hand.

Chu Qingyan didn't know what he was going to do. The person whose body temperature was usually lower than hers, could it be that he wanted to fight poison with poison, cure ice with ice?Chu Qingyan was amused by the wild thoughts in her head, and at this moment, a warm current flowed into her palm, entered her blood, and then circulated to her whole body. All of a sudden, her veins were warmed, and her whole body felt warm. .

Chu Qingyan felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring. She squinted her eyes and sighed like a satisfied cat, "Is this just internal force? It can kill enemies and keep out the cold?"

"Yeah." Emotions are contagious, especially the little hand in the palm of his hand tightly clenched his fingers, as if he was her reliance, Xiao Xu's voice softened.

"Big ice cube, teach me in the future!" Chu Qingyan felt that if she had martial arts, she would be able to protect herself and keep warm in the future!
Xiao Xu seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and said coldly, "If you can get up at Yinshi, exercise at least three hours a day, and persist in the severe winter and heat, then this king will consider teaching you."

Yin time?Converted to modern time, wouldn't that mean getting up at four or five in the morning?Training at least 6 hours a day?Thinking of her being exposed to the scorching sun in the scorching heat, and her hands freezing in the cold wind in the cold winter, she immediately shook her head like a rattle.

Xiao Xu already knew that she would react like this, he was used to being a lazy cat, even asking her to read a book would make him cry, how could he suddenly work hard? "Frozen three feet is not a one-day cold, if you want to learn, you can only persevere, but you, this king, it is very difficult!"

Chu Qingyan puffed her cheeks, she really wanted to nod her head firmly and agree that she would definitely do it!But when he thought of the result of the impulsiveness, he stopped thinking immediately, don't talk too fast, in the end, he is the one who suffers.

When Xiao Xu saw that she had reacted, he couldn't help feeling a little pity. He wanted to stimulate her, but it would be great if she could really learn some martial arts.

"Big Ice Cube, why didn't His Majesty summon us?" It was almost time for dinner.

"Impatient?" he asked.

"Well, would you?" she asked.

"I'm used to it." He replied lightly.

got used to?
Chu Qingyan looked at him subconsciously.

Are you used to waiting, or are you used to being left out the door like this?

Is there too much of this kind of thing, so he is numb and used to it?
Chu Qingyan didn't know why, but there was a corner of her heart that was sore.

　-

　　Caicai leaned over and hugged him.

　　An An: Don't think that the author can't see that you are a bitter trick!Aw, it hurts...)
