Chapter 933: The Wasteful Prince vs. the First Female Official 1
As soon as he was asked this question, he seemed to remember his etiquette and immediately put down his hand. With a stern face, he pushed the plate away and commented with two words: "Not bad."
Lingyao glanced at him, said nothing, and just turned her eyes away from him.
After she looked away for a while, Xuan Yanjing saw that she really was no longer paying attention to him.
He secretly picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, and deliberately turned his head away.
Then he was caught red-handed by Lingyao who was deliberately trying to catch him.
Lingyao just looked at him without saying anything, but there was a meaningful smile in her eyes that made Xuan Yanjing blush.
Xuan Yanjing's cheeks were bulging, as if hiding a small walnut. Facing Lingyao's gaze, the tips of his ears turned pink little by little, like a bud about to bloom, slowly unfolding its pink petals.
After Xuan Yanjing's face turned red, he simply became shameless and took the initiative to hold the cake box and handed it to Lingyao: "Do you want to eat it?"
Lingyao didn't eat, but he still refused.
He picked up a piece of peach blossom pastry and was about to put it close to Lingyao's mouth, trying to make Lingyao sink into it with him.
Lingyao couldn't persuade him and ate a piece, and he was satisfied.
After eating and drinking his fill, Xuan Yanjing's eyelids, which had been stretched open all night, began to droop again in the swaying carriage.
My eyelids drooped and I fell asleep.
Lingyao looked at Xuan Yanjing sleeping in the carriage in eunuch's clothes and really wanted to give him two beatings to let him know the dangers of the world.
How dare he just fall asleep in the carriage like that? He wouldn't even know if she sold him out mid-journey.
Of course, Xuan Yanjing would not dare to sleep like this in anyone's carriage.
He was in danger many times when he was a child. For a long time, he didn't dare to sleep at night. He kept his eyes open until dawn every day. Then, during the day, when everyone was staring at him, he would run to the pavilion surrounded by people and lie down to sleep.
He dared to sleep directly in Lingyao's carriage today because he felt that if Lingyao wanted to harm him, she would have done so long ago and would not have waited until now.
Secondly, he felt that there was no benefit in her harming him now. Even if she was sent by the Imperial Concubine, if something happened, the Imperial Concubine would definitely be implicated...
In fact, the above reasons are not important. The most important thing is that Xuan Yanjing feels that she is different from others. She makes him feel comfortable and safe.
It seemed as if he could do anything in front of her.
When Xuan Yanjing woke up, the carriage had already arrived outside the palace and stopped at a remote hut in the bamboo forest.
Lingyao led him out of the car. Xuan Yanjing originally wanted to cover his face and just picked up the hat, but Lingyao said no need.
Xuan Yanjing was puzzled and carefully covered his face after getting out of the car. It was against the rules for him to follow her out, and he didn't want to cause her more trouble.
However, after getting off the car, he found that the eunuchs and palace maids who followed him out of the palace did not seem surprised at all when they saw him, and even saluted him.
Xuan Yanjing finally realized what was happening.
"Are these your people?"
Lingyao nodded and told them to do their own things.
Even though there was a prince of higher status present, they set off as soon as they heard the words. It was obvious who these people were.
Xuan Yanjing pursed his lips: "Then, are they the Imperial Noble Consort's?"
He wanted to know if Lingyao had such power because she was doing things for the Imperial Concubine, and he also wanted to know if the Imperial Concubine knew that he had left the palace today.
"No." Lingyao really wanted to laugh. She looked at Xuan Yanjing and asked, "What are you thinking? Do you think I'm working with the Imperial Concubine to plot against you?"
