Jiaochu

The carriage and horses traveled on the road for four or five days before arriving at the dock, and then took a boat by water.

When a group of people were preparing to board the boat, someone hurried over and shouted, "Wait a minute." Everyone turned around and saw a young man running over.

The other party's appearance is very delicate, even more delicate than the white-faced scholar. If he were not wearing men's clothes, at first glance, he would have thought he was a delicate girl.

When she saw the other person, Huo Xuan looked surprised, as if she knew the other person. The young master also greeted him like an acquaintance, claiming to be Huo Xuan's cousin Huo Yuan. A strange look flashed across Huo Xuan's face, but he did not deny it.

Yan Fei felt a little strange when he saw the other party running over empty-handed, without even a suitcase or entourage. Moreover, the other party's eyes kept wandering around Ye Lingxi, which seemed to him to be malicious.

When the group of people boarded the boat, Huo Yuan followed Huo Xuan and muttered, not knowing what he was talking about. Huo Xuan looked a little uncomfortable, as if he couldn't cope with his cousin.

After boarding the boat, Huo Yuan greeted Ye Lingxi with a smile and wanted to come forward to speak, but was blocked by Yan Fei. He looked at Yan Fei from head to toe, put his hands around his mouth and asked quietly, "Are you Do you like the princess?" Hearing this unexpected question, Yan Fei's face turned red, and Huo Yuan chuckled. The next moment, he sneaked up to Su Shi and asked the same question, which made Su Shi blush. He chuckled again, He turned to Huo Xuan and said, "I think both of them are better-looking than Brother Xuan. If I were Her Royal Highness, I would definitely choose them as my consort."

Huo Xuan said nothing and turned around to leave. Huo Yuan smiled gloatingly, like a little fox who succeeded in mischief. He turned his head again, smiled and waved to Ye Lingxi, and headed in the direction where Huo Xuan left. .

In Yan Fei's eyes, this Huo Yuan was even more frivolous than Huo Xuan. He asked Ye Lingxi to go back to the cabin to rest first, not wanting her to have too much contact with him. She told Yan Fei not to worry, as if she knew the secret of her little cousin.

Just as he arrived at the door of the room, Huo Yuan came over again, saying that Huo Xuan ignored him and he was bored. Could he chat with Ye Lingxi? Yan Fei wanted to send him away, but Ye Lingxi nodded to him and asked. Don't worry, he doesn't want to appear too narrow-minded. Anyway, he is guarding the door. There are Aunt Qiu, He He and Ling Dang inside. If the other party dares to be dishonest, don't blame him for being rude.

After entering, Huo Yuan followed Ye Lingxi and sat down on the couch, looking familiar. Aunt Qiu, He He and Ling Dang all felt that the other party was rude. He He went to bring a stool for Huo Yuan to sit on, and the latter After thanking He He for his kindness, he still sat on the couch.

"What does the princess think of Brother Xuan? Can he be the consort?" Huo Yuan asked, smiling slightly, like a cunning little fox.

Ye Lingxi asked: "What do you call the girl?"

Huo Yuan looked startled when he heard the word girl. Aunt Qiu, He He and Ling Dang also looked surprised. Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was a woman disguised as a man. After Huo Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, he laughed dryly and said, "Princess What are you talking about, what kind of girl? I am obviously a man, how can I be a girl?"

Ye Lingxi didn't speak. After waiting calmly for a few seconds, the other party surrendered and asked her how she could tell. As soon as she asked, the other party's eyes suddenly focused on the gauze scarf on her head, and then raised her hand in front of her. After shaking, wondering if she could see clearly, Ye Lingxi raised her hand to lift up the gauze scarf, and there was a gauze ribbon tied around her eyes, which surprised the other party even more. "What's wrong with your eyes? Can't you see?" Huo Yuan raised his hand and waved it in front of her, Ye Ling said sharply, "I came here this time, firstly, to visit the eldest sister, and secondly, I want to see the great emperor of your country. The priest helped to check the eyes, and asked the girl to keep the latter matter a secret." Huo Yuan thought about it for a while and said, "Since you are honest with me, I won't hide it from you." She took Ye Lingxi's hand and said After writing her name on it, Wang Yanran raised her hand and shushed, asking her to keep it a secret.

It turned out to be a girl from the Wang family, Ye Lingxixin said, the little girl disguised herself as a man and sneaked here to wait and see, maybe she wanted to "monitor" someone.

"I am the fifth in the family. I have two brothers and two sisters. The eldest sister is married, the second brother and the third brother are also married, and the fourth sister has already made an appointment." After saying this, she stared at Ye Lingxi again. Face looked at it, and suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist, which shocked Aunt Qiu, Hehe and Lingdang. Fortunately, they already knew that the other party was a girl, otherwise the three of them would have screamed out in fright. , then Yan Fei will barge in, and when he sees the scene in front of him, he will probably draw his sword and chop people.

Then, she measured her waist with her hands, then stretched out her hand to measure Ye Lingxi's waist to confirm. Then she lowered her head and left, looking like she was shocked. After opening the door, she sighed again, He walked away with his head hanging down.

Yanfei didn't know why, he didn't know that the other party was a woman disguised as a man, so when he saw the other party's deflated look, he felt a little gloating.

After lunch, Wang Yanran came over again, and then left dejectedly. On the way back, she met Huo Xuan. Seeing her listless look, Huo Xuan asked her if she was seasick. She raised her head and stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Am I fat?" Huo Xuan felt confused and asked her why she was here and pretending to be Huo Yuan, she glared at him and walked away angrily, making Huo Xuan even more confused.

After dinner, Ye Lingxi asked Lingdang to invite Bai Hu over. As soon as Lingdang opened the door, she saw a pale face in front of her. She was so frightened that she took a breath. When she looked closely, it turned out to be Wang Yanran. The patient's complexion looked paler than at noon, his eyes were a little unfocused, and he looked a little sluggish, as if he hadn't eaten.

After Ye Lingxi let her in, her waist was measured again. The other party looked overjoyed. The next moment her eyes darkened and she almost fainted. Lingdang and Hehe quickly supported her.

Ye Lingxi asked her if she hadn't eaten, and asked Hehe to bring her some pastries to cushion her stomach. She also asked Lingdang to go to the kitchen to see if there was anything left to eat. When Lingdang came out, she happened to run into Yanfei, and almost spilled the beans, causing Mr. Huo to Saying she is Miss Huo means she is going to faint from hunger. Yanfei walked over and wandered at the door and took a look into the room. After a while, he came over and wandered again. When he saw Lingdang coming with Xiao Anzi, he went in the other direction.

When Xiao Anzi came in with a bowl of noodles, a plate of pastries had already been eaten. After eating another bowl of steaming noodles, Wang Yanran's pale face gradually returned to its rosy color. Then she measured her waist again. She immediately regretted it and stared at Ye Lingxi's waist again and asked, "You Why is this waist so thin? Do you never eat at all?" He muttered again, "Brother Xuan likes people with thin waists."

Ye Lingxi said that she was not here to choose a prince-in-law, so she could rest assured. As if her little secret had been revealed, Wang Yanran turned red, turned away and said it was none of her business, saying that Huo Xuan was a playboy, liked to visit flower houses, and was very sweet-talking, so she reminded Ye Lingxi not to be fooled.

At this time, Yan Fei said outside: "It's getting late, the princess needs to rest."

After the door opened, Wang Yanran came out, made a face at Yanfei, and quickly slipped away. When she was approaching her room, she saw Huo Xuan waiting at the door. She hid behind a pillar and peeked for a few seconds. Then she walked over and asked him with a smile if he wanted to know what she said to Ye Lingxi. Huo Xuan asked her to take care of it. Shut up and don't say anything outside. She turned around and opened the door without saying a word. After walking in, she closed the door with a bang. Huo Xuan stood outside the door for a while and then left.
