Chapter 133 New Year’s Eve Palace Banquet (Thirteen)
When the maid came with Ye Lingxi, Yan Chuchu hurried forward to greet her with an eager look. After taking two steps, she stopped. As if she realized that she was a little out of sorts, she slowed down and walked over, asking the maid to step back first. .

"Princess, please this way."

She took Ye Lingxi and took a few steps inside. She seemed a little embarrassed, pursed her lips, her eyes showed hesitation and entanglement, and she hesitated to speak.

"How did Sister Yan recognize me?" Ye Lingxi spoke first to break the silence. Her lively tone made Yan Chuchu relax a little. She replied, "I look a bit like the princess and the Third Highness." At this point, She paused, then looked down at the thing in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was making a difficult decision. After a while, she mustered up the courage to hand over the thing in her hand. Her voice was mixed with nervousness and expectation, "This is the peace charm I made myself. Princess, can you help me give it to the Second Highness?"

Ye Lingxi looked at the peace charm. It was exquisite and small in style. Just looking at the delicate stitching on it, she knew that a lot of effort must have been spent. She thought of the little rabbit that her third brother was looking forward to and had not yet given it away. She thought of her. As the second elder brother, I silently sighed in my heart, feeling sad that "if I can't clean it up, it will still be messy."

"Sister Yan, my second brother won't accept it."

Yan Chuchu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her gaze sadly, pursed her lips and said nothing. After a while, she asked, "Is it because of Princess An Ning?"

This time, Changye Lingxi was stunned for a moment. She didn’t expect that the gossip had spread here. Although she had released the gossip, she could be wrong. “Sister Yan, the second brother is very stubborn. If he identifies the Nine-headed Cow, Even if I can’t bring her back, Sister Yan will definitely meet someone better than my second brother in the future.”

Yan Chuchu forced out a smile and took back the peace charm, "What happened today, princess." Before she could say the next words, Ye Lingxi patted her chest and assured, "God knows and earth knows, you know and I know, Apart from the two of us, no third person will know."

"Thank you, princess." After Yan Chuchu thanked Ye Lingxi, she asked the original maid to send Ye Lingxi back.

When Ye Lingxi was about to walk out of the pavilion, he was stopped by the clear and delicate voice behind him.Yan Chuchu walked over in a hurry, asked the maid to step away again, handed the small peace charm to Ye Lingxi, and said in a pleading tone, "Princess, help me give it to Your Highness. If Your Highness doesn't accept it, Princess Just throw it away." She said the last sentence with a bit of determination, and there was a resolute look in her slender eyebrows, which seemed to confirm the word "stubborn" that Ye Lingxi said before.

Ye Lingxi sighed silently in his heart and accepted the peace charm.

After the maid came back with her, Ye Xingye asked curious questions. Ye Lingxi couldn't bear to face that sunny face. She could only look up at the sky and said, "This is a secret and I can't tell others." Come and stop her third brother's mouth.

"Why haven't you come out yet? Are you planning to stay for dinner? Go and find out."

"Your Majesty, this is not good. Why don't Your Majesty go somewhere else first—"

"Hush, people are coming out."

"..."

Seeing the brother and sister getting closer, Zhao Ce realized that his hiding tree was about to be exposed, so he simply walked out by himself, took two steps forward as if nothing had happened, and said casually, pretending to meet by chance, "What are you doing?" Here?" It was as if others were blind and didn't see that he was coming out from behind the tree. Even the boy behind him couldn't stand it anymore and looked down at the ground in embarrassment.

Ye Lingxi and Ye Xingye: "..." "Why are you hiding here?"

After being exposed by Ye Xingye's words, Zhao Ce denied it as stubbornly as ever: "Who is hiding here? Can't I just take a walk here?" After saying that, he raised his neck and turned away.

Ye Xingye: "..." Did you hit your head when you went out?

After exiting the alley, the brother and sister found that the other was still following them, and they also exuded a resentful aura. When they looked back, the other raised his neck again, turned his head and looked away, showing a Taking a walk as if nothing happened.

"Alas~" Ye Lingxi sighed and waved. Zhao Ce's eyes lit up, and the next moment he put on an "indifferent" face and walked over. He asked three words in a calm and casual tone, "Is something okay? ?" She asked back, "Is something wrong, Brother Shizi?" Zhao Ce asked back, "Didn't you ask me to come here?" She glanced at the stall next to her, and then walked over.Seeing Zhao Ce following him, Ye Xingye asked a little strangely, "Why do you always follow us?" Zhao Ce replied, "I can go wherever I want." The implication is, "You can't control it." "Ye Xingye understood that he might have hit his head when he went out and didn't care about it.

"Brother Prince, which one do you like?"

Various masks were sold at the stall. Ye Lingxi asked Zhao Ce to pick one. He looked at the masks with a little doubt, his eyes swept from the top row to the middle row to the last row, and then He scanned from the last row to the top row again, looking serious, unable to make a choice.Seeing this, Ye Lingxi reached out and took off the purple mask in the middle and handed it to him, saying, "This one looks good. It matches the color of the prince's brother's clothes."

Zhao Ce looked down at his clothes, his eyes showing joy, and his face was still calm and unfazed. He calmly stretched out his hand and calmly put down the mask.

"It's getting late. Third brother and I are going back. Brother Shizi should also go back early." Ye Lingxi said as he took out some money from his pocket and paid. The stall owner watched him leave happily.

Zhao Ce held the mask, looking at it and putting it on for a while, as if he had obtained a desirable treasure, with a bright look on his face.

It's quite easy to coax, Ye Lingxixin said.

At this time, Dong Mo walked over to him. After bowing, he said that Ye Lingjue was at the teahouse, and then led the brother and sister in that direction. Zhao Ce did not follow him this time, and walked cheerfully towards Hou with a mask in hand. Went in the direction of the government.

After entering the teahouse, Dong Mo took the brother and sister to a private room on the second floor. After knocking on the door and waiting for a while, Ye Lingjue opened the door and walked out, saying "Let's go" without asking any questions.

After sitting in the carriage, Ye Lingxi asked casually, "Second brother, have you finished all your things?"

Ye Lingjue said: "It's just a walk around, there's nothing important." At this point, he asked, "You're not too late, are you?"

Ye Xingye was shocked?After making a sound, before her mind could react, Ye Lingxi calmly replied, "It's not too late." Looking at her with those peach blossom eyes that understood human nature, she felt that the expression on her face was a bit unnatural, so she adjusted her sitting posture and turned her head. Look at the scenery outside the car window.
