Chapter 22 The boudoir
Yan Zhi loves Yan Xinyao very much, and since he would be reluctant to send her to the Fourteenth Prince's residence as a pawn, the things about Yan Xinyao are naturally untouchable by outsiders, so the so-called "boudoir" of Su Leyan is just a place for tidying up and renovating. The attic, fortunately, the location of this attic is not bad, it is very quiet.

After entering the attic, Su Leyan found that the room was still cleaned, not even a trace of dust, and even a faint smell of incense.It seems that Yan Zhi is also a very delicate person, and he will not make mistakes in these small branches.

Su Leyan looked at Murong Huayi, "This is the room I live in."

Murong Huayi walked into the room and looked around with great interest.Although it was arranged to hide the truth, it was done with great care, every place was carefully arranged, but most of the layout in the house was according to Yan Xinyao's preferences.Yan Zhi dotes on Yan Xinyao very much, and is never willing to let her go out of the house, but after all, she is the daughter of a powerful general, and there are many people who flatter and flatter Yan Xinyao on her birthday, so there are some preferences about Yan Xinyao from the outside world. heard.

Murong Huayi took a close look at the room, "Did Xinyao live and grow up here?"

Regarding this question, Yan Zhi had already told her the answer, "This attic was specially built for me by my father. It was a gift for my seventh birthday. I have lived in this house since then, and Qingyue also I live in this house together."

Murong Huayi continued to walk in the house, looking as if he really wanted to know about her past life.

Rumor has it that Yan Xinyao likes ruby ​​gemstones, and the one that stands on the carved red sandalwood pedestal in the room, shining like a small moon, is an extremely rare treasure.Murong Huayi nodded approvingly, from her walking around the mansion with ease, to the layout of the house, there is no problem, but...

"You don't seem very excited about going back to your home." Murong Huayi caressed the scarlet gemstone with his slender fingers, and smiled back at her, "Could it be that Xinyao still prefers the palace and the Life with this king?"

Su Leyan's heart dropped suddenly, Murong Huayi looked at her at this moment as if he was about to see through her thoughts, her disguise was invisible.

Su Leyan was careless, she felt that all the arrangements were perfect and impeccable, but she forgot that the biggest lie was not about Yan Xinyao's side, but about herself.

Seeing her froze in place, Murong Huayi's already deep eyes became even deeper.

Fortunately, Su Leyan soon regained her composure, and said disdainfully, "It's all thanks to the lord, if it wasn't for the lord's company, how could I be so unhappy?"

Sharp teeth...

Murong Huayi smiled, such a cultivated and sarcastic gesture was her usual style.However, at the age of 17, a person who unceremoniously threw away the gift from the son of the Ministry of Rites at the birthday banquet in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and left the mess to her parents to clean up, it is hard to imagine that she would be so sad Hold your breath.Yes, she is calm, she is too calm.Now she is only one year older, it is hard to imagine that her temperament will be restrained and matured so much, it is intriguing, intriguing...

"It turns out that this king disturbed Xinyao's interest." Murong Huayi walked up to her and looked at her sincerely, "This king is very curious about you, otherwise he would not have noticed your strangeness like this. Xinyao If you have any concerns, you can speak up." After a pause, "But it's okay if Xinyao doesn't want to say it, I will gradually understand Xinyao."

Su Leyan didn't get goose bumps all over her body, but a cold sweat.He frankly said that he had doubts about her, which was too much for her to resist, and he couldn't help but stammer when he replied, "You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Is this king's attitude towards Xinyao so inconspicuous?" Murong Huayi saw that she was a little at a loss, and he thought about his words, "Then, how about a different way for this king?"

"Are you OK?"

At this moment, Su Leyan was a little worried whether Murong Huayi was ill?Or, ghost upper body?That high-ranking and self-confident prince actually said that he was trying to curry favor with her, and now he was trying to curry favor with her? !Su Leyan looked him up and down anxiously, what was he thinking...

When Murong Huayi saw her reaction, he thought about it silently. Did he act eager for quick success?Well, let's not slow down...

Just when Murong Huayi was about to say something else, there were suddenly a few more footsteps outside, and then two or three uniformly dressed maids appeared at the door. We have prepared some refreshments and fruits to refresh the young lady and the prince."

"Come in." Su Leyan greeted familiarly, "By the way, Xiaoyan, I still have something to say to my mother. After she has finished her lunch break, come and call me."

"Yes, Miss." The maid named Xiaoyan answered with a groan.

"Go down first, you don't need to serve here."

When the maids put down their fruit plates and waited aside, Murong Huayi spoke quietly.Several servant girls looked at each other in surprise, then bowed low, "The servants will not bother the lady and the prince, and retreat first."

Murong Huayi sat next to the small couch, picked up the cold red fruit that had been frozen with ice cubes in the fruit plate, elegantly put it on his lips and took a bite, the coolness permeated his heart, it was very refreshing in the slightly stuffy midsummer.

"Does Xinyao want to eat lychees?" Between Murong Huayi's slender fingers, he squeezed another red and thin-skinned lychee, which was also icy cold.

"I won't eat." Su Leyan said angrily.

Murong Huayi smiled, "That's just right, I want to eat it, so come here and peel it for me."

...Didn't the maid just keep it to peel the lychees for you? !
"Eat it and peel it yourself, or don't eat it!"

"But this king doesn't know how to peel lychees."

"……I do not know either."

After staying in Su Leyan's "boudoir" for a while, Xiaoyan passed by and called Su Leyan, saying that his wife had already taken a lunch break. Su Leyan hurriedly followed Xiaoyan, leaving Murong Huayi alone in the room. inside.

After Su Leyan left, Murong Huayi changed his lazy posture of leaning on the couch, and walked around the room again.Murong Huayi just entered the door and took a few glances, and felt that the layout of this room was too new. He always believed that there would be some interesting clues in this room. Everything is new, tables and chairs, small couch, red lacquer table, big bronze mirror, carved phoenix screen... There are almost no traces of wear and tear.

Is Yan Xinyao cherishing the utensils in this house too much?Or did Yan Zhi dote on her so much that he replaced all the decorations in her house?If the other items are replaced with new ones, it is reasonable to say that it is a hobby, but even the boudoir bed is brand new, which has to make people think more.This attic is not new. Judging from the windows and doors, it is an old house. Yan Xinyao has lived in the boudoir for more than ten years. The interior has a brand new look... It makes people curious.

Su Leyan, who was going to the other side of the general's mansion, naturally didn't know that this seemingly seamless arrangement had made Murong Huayi so suspicious. She went to see Yan Zhi, and only told her that Murong Huayi had just tested her and behaved to her. Out of curiosity, he made a simple statement, but Yan Zhi didn't take it to heart for a while.

"Your temperament is much different from Xinyao's, but no one has ever seen Xinyao except the people from my general's mansion. Even if Xinyao showed up at the birthday banquet, she covered her face. You don't have to worry about this matter. If the prince still has doubts next time, you must not panic, it is very common for a daughter to marry a husband, so you should pay more attention in the future, and don't let yourself slip into the trap."

Yan Zhi didn't know that the relationship between them was just a fake relationship, and Su Leyan felt very pressured when he said it was calm.If Murong Huayi suspects her identity and purpose, then her situation will become extremely difficult...
