Your Highness, the princess is going to paint your portrait

Chapter 154 Low-key
When they arrived at the palace, Jing Chun got off the carriage with Jiang and Jin.

In order to match his outfit, Jiang Hejin specially chose a purple dress for Jing Chun.

Jing Chun was the first to get out of the carriage. It was dusk in the sky, and the setting sun shone on the dark red brick wall, illuminating the unparalleled grandeur and immensity. The breeze picked up, swaying the purple dress, restrained yet lively, which made people feel The intoxicating figure is like a purple holy lotus.

Jing Chun suddenly felt that the corridor was desolate. She remained silent and felt a little timid for a moment. She turned back to look at Jiang Hejin and asked, "Approximately how long will we stay?"

Jiang Hejin's dull face was slightly indifferent, and he looked at Jing Chun in time, feeling the same timidity as Jing Chun in his heart.

He lowered his eyes to look at her, and stretched out two fingers, "Up to two hours."

Jiang Hejin walked in front of Jing Chun, then looked back and motioned for Jing Chun to follow.

Jing Chun walked quickly to Jiang Hejin's side, and commented: "It takes two hours to eat a meal, and if I don't enjoy it to the fullest, the loss outweighs the gain."

"Most of the dishes in the palace are available in the palace. There is really nothing special about it. In other words, Xijun usually doesn't flock to dishes. Why are you interested today? Could it be that the food in Jingzhao Mansion is not good, or Are you dissatisfied with the delicacies of my Prince Li Mansion?"

Jing Chun said calmly: "I am different from Your Highness. You grew up in this palace since you were a child, and this is your home. You will naturally treat things in the palace calmly. I am not the same. I have not been with my parents since I was a child." , I dare not say that I know everything about this capital city, not to mention that this is the imperial palace, I am curious, so I naturally want to taste something different from the folks..."

Jiang Hejin turned to look at Jing Chun.

Jing Chun naturally noticed the speechless look in Jiang Hejin's eyes, "Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Hejin shook his head, "No."

Jing Chun frowned slightly, "Then why is Your Highness looking at me?"

"If only I kept a curiosity like you..."

Jing Chun thought it was funny for a while, when he heard Jiang Hejin say something like this, he laughed and said, "What kind of talk is this, Your Highness? I still envy Your Highness who has no desires or desires?"

Before Jing Chun could say anything more, Jiang Hejin touched the hairpin on Jing Chun's head. Jing Chun didn't realize it for a while, and pushed back half a step unconsciously, but was pulled back by Jiang Hejin .

After Bu Yao dodged, Jing Chun inexplicably added several circles of light when he looked at Jiang and Jin. Jing Chun froze for a moment, as if he was holding his breath in water. It took him a while to remember to breathe, "What...are you doing?"

"Where is this hairpin crooked? Xijun is very heavy."

Jing Chun:?
Jiang Hejin had a bright smile on his face, but Jing Chun felt that this smile was even scarier than his usual serious smile, and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

Only a voice was heard, "His Royal Highness is holding a beautiful woman in his arms, but he is really envious of others."

Jing Chun heard the news and his mood suddenly dropped like a cliff.

Jiang Hejin smiled slightly, "Liu Shaoqing, nice to meet you."

The person who came was none other than Liu Kemian, followed closely by Aunt Rongfang from the Queen Mother's Palace. Jing Chun had met her once, but Jing Chun didn't feel that he and Aunt Rongfang were strangers.

"His Royal Highness Li Wang." Liu Kemian immediately looked at Jing Chun again, a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes, which seemed to be a kind of familiarity, "Hi Wangfei."

Jing Chun nodded as a response.

"Why is Liu Shaoqing free to come to the palace today?"

"Today's banquet, the emperor's favor is mighty, and I will naturally be on duty."

Jiang Hejin naturally knew about this, and he wanted to cheer him up, saying, "Liu Shaoqing is loyal, and the Queen Mother values ​​her. Xijun and this king have also praised Liu Shaoqing many times."

Jing Chun couldn't help feeling a little ridiculous in his heart, Jiang Hejin was really used to dealing with things smoothly, and he actually flattered Liu Kemian on the face of it.

The smile on Liu Kermian's face deepened, and he bowed and replied: "Thank you very much, Princess Royal, and His Highness Prince Li for the compliment."

The order of Liu Kemian's reply inevitably aroused the whispers of the maids behind him. If it was in order, the reply would have been "Thank you, His Royal Highness Li Wang, and Princess Wang for your praise", but this Liu Kemian forced Jing Chun In advance, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Liu Kemian doesn't take Jiang Hejin seriously.

Aunt Rongfang deliberately came to the rescue and said: "Perhaps the Empress Dowager gave Mr. Liu a glass of wine just now. Mr. Liu was actually drunk. He mistook the order of His Highness and the Princess. Please forgive me."

But this Liu Kemian just seemed like a person who didn't know how to live or die, so he stepped forward and patted Jiang Hejin on the shoulder, as if exhorting the younger generation, "His Royal Highness Li Wang is so generous, how can he take these small things to heart? "

Jing Chun secretly observed Jiang Hejin's expressions. Jiang Hejin smiled faintly, but the stiffness at the corner of his mouth was like a mark carved on the wall with a knife blade, and his eyes were focused like a poisonous snake hunting, quietly waiting for something, if anything. Movement and stillness must be waiting for opportunities.

But Jiang Hejin said: "It's okay, I think Liu Shaoqing didn't do it on purpose."

Looking at Jiang Hejin, Jing Chun felt that the smile on Jiang Hejin's face resembled the outline of a broken porcelain bowl. For a moment, he actually felt Jiang Hejin's physical and mental helplessness.

Hearing this, Liu Kermian became even more proud, "The night banquet will begin soon. Your Highness King Li and Princess Li, please come."

Aunt Rongfang and others also gave way one after another. Jing Chun looked at the lights ahead at dusk, and suddenly thought of a bald ginkgo tree. autumn wind.

Jiang Hejin also took advantage of the opportunity to pull Jing Chun up, looking ahead, as if he had made up his mind, "Let's go."

Jing Chun walked beside Jiang Hejin, feeling the warmth from Jiang Hejin's hands. Jiang Hejin's hands were warm and cool, far less than Jing Chun's sweaty palms.

Jiang Hejin joked, "What? Are you nervous?"

"No." Jing Chun replied stiffly.

"The people in the palace don't eat people, what are you afraid of? Besides, you are Princess Li now, and you are covered by your identity, so it is others who are nervous."

"This is said lightly. Don't you, His Royal Highness Prince Li, sometimes bow to others?"

Jiang Hejin's hand moved slightly.

Jing Chun also realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was obviously talking about what happened between Jiang Hejin and Liu Kemian just now.

Jing Chun tried to remedy this: "Even if I am Princess Li, I have to bow my head in front of you, the empress dowager and the emperor."

Jiang Hejin didn't mean to blame Jing Chun, and said calmly: "It's a good thing to know that bowing your head, and it's also a good thing not to use your own status to bully others. Xi Jun is right, but this king is narrow-minded."

Jing Chun looked at Jiang Hejin. Although Jiang Hejin had personality flaws, he was able to understand right and wrong. For a moment, he didn't know whether his words were true or ironic.

"Don't look at me, Xijun. There are people coming and going in this palace. Xijun's eyes are too hot. There will be a lot of discussion afterwards."

Not to be outdone, Jing Chun replied: "Didn't Your Highness always hope that the love between you and me will be known to the world?"

"I really hope so, but it is normal to keep a low profile at the right time."

Said, Jiang Hejin held Jing Chun's hand even tighter, looked at Liu Kemian behind him from the corner of the eye, and unconsciously showed an intriguing smile on the corner of his mouth.
