Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 66

Caicai watched her father and mother leave, feeling a little embarrassed to face Xiao Xu, she did not expect her father to behave like this.

"My lord, my father is so abrupt today, please don't take it to heart." Under his gaze, Chu Qingyan spoke in a softer voice, and couldn't continue.

Xiao Xu looked at her twisting her hands unnaturally, and said calmly, "This is not an example."

Gu Rongguyi has suffered enough shocks today, seeing that the prince forgave her so easily at this time, it is no surprise.

Chu Qingyan couldn't believe it, the big ice cube has really become easy to talk recently!

It's already evening now, and it's time to go home for dinner.

Chu Qingyan glanced at the restaurant behind her. It was a pity that she reserved a private room and didn't eat anything. It was really a waste.But in comparison, she felt that Huang Yi's food was more delicious, so she still happily followed Xiao Xu.

Because the carriage was parked under the shade of the trees before, the group of people still walked slowly towards the way they came.

Whether it was on purpose or not, Xiao Xu took her hand naturally as soon as he left the restaurant.

With the previous adaptation, Chu Qingyan didn't feel awkward, on the contrary, she was used to it.

"Caicai, seeing that the lord treats you well, I feel at ease as a mother." This is what my mother whispered into her ear before leaving.

Chu Qingyan tilted her head and looked at him with a thoughtful expression.

Xiao Xu keenly noticed her fugue, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, thank you for taking my parents out on purpose. You are so kind to me." Chu Qingyan smiled and narrowed her eyes to him without thinking.

Xiao Xu took it for granted, "It's good to know."

Chu Qingyan originally thought that he would be polite, but she did not expect to admit it so generously. She first choked, and then smiled. From this point of view, has she succeeded in hugging the benefactor?

Xiao Xu didn't know why she suddenly smirked, but felt that it was fun to have her by his side.

Peace of mind, the years are quiet and good.

"Emperor...Brother!" A pleasantly surprised voice broke the tranquility at this moment.

Chu Qingyan felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, and looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a light blue boy waving his hands vigorously at the carriage not far away.

Xiao Ran?

Why is he here?

Chu Qingyan subconsciously looked at the people around her, and seemed to sense Xiao Xu's surprised expression, but he quickly let go of her hand, strode forward, and said to Xiao Ran in a cold voice, "If this king remembers correctly, , you should be taking riding and archery lessons now!"

Facing this elder brother, Xiao Ran was always in awe, and said with a guilty conscience, "I want to go out for a walk today, I don't want to be locked up in the palace all the time, that would be too boring."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Xu's tone was still severe.

Xiao Ran flattered him and said, "Brother Dahuang, don't make an example, just this time."

"This king will send someone to take you back." Xiao Xu said without doubt.

Xiao Ran had no choice but to agree, he was already used to the temper of his brother.

Chu Qingyan watched this scene with relish, and did not expect that Xiao Ran also looked deflated.

Gu Rong and Gu Yi had already gone to lead the carriage, Xiao Ran saw that he couldn't please the emperor, so he turned his head to look at Chu Qingyan, he had seen her from the very beginning, and said to her with an awkward expression, "Hey , are you feeling better?"

He didn't expect that Xiao Ran would express his concern for her, but when he remembered that the pastry was made by him back then, he smiled clearly, "It's basically recovered, thank you Fourth Prince for caring."

Seeing that she didn't mean to blame him, Xiao Ran was a little uncomfortable. He coughed lightly, and then continued, "My Highness doesn't know why those pastries were poisoned, so you escaped, and my Highness also helped You are happy, as the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed, and you will be a blessed person in the future."

It's hard to imagine that the person who blew his beard and stared at her back then would actually talk to her nicely. It was a little unbelievable, Chu Qingyan pretended to be flattered and replied, "Thank you, Fourth Prince, for your kind words."

Seeing that she was well-behaved and obedient, Xiao Ran couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he relaxed, and said as if he was familiar with himself, "Oh, I said Chu Qingyan, although you are not good-looking and have a bad temper, but my Highness looks at you You are pleasing to the eye, we will be friends from now on, when I have time, my Highness will go to the Palace of the King of England to play with you!"

Seeing her pleasing to the eye so quickly?What about the previous tit-for-tat?Chu Qingyan felt that the way the fourth prince made friends was really weird.But when she looked into his eyes seriously, she found that there was an unnatural look of expectation and worry in his eyes. Was it because she was afraid that she would not be friends with him?

Chu Qingyan suddenly felt a little sympathetic to these people in the royal family who looked well dressed, but were actually lonely.There are no true friends, only mutually beneficial contacts, and even major marriages are used as bargaining chips. Her hostility towards the fourth prince has also been resolved at this moment.

Seeing that Chu Qingyan was in a daze, Xiao Ran thought she was in trouble, so his expression changed, and he said to her with some ferocity, "My Highness thinks highly of you as a friend of yours, so don't—ah, who hit me on the head, uh, big Brother Huang!" Xiao Ran was so painful that he almost jumped, but when he turned his head and saw the person clearly, his voice immediately weakened.

"Don't dawdle, I will take you back to the palace now." Xiao Xu said calmly.

"Let my younger brother play for a while longer! My younger brother is either learning to compose poems and play the piano in the palace, or learn to ride and shoot games. I don't have any freedom at all. The emperor shouldn't be so strict with my younger brother like my mother and concubine!" Xiao Ran noticed. Li was immediately attracted by him, wanted to pull his sleeve to act like a baby but didn't dare, could only look at him pitifully.

Xiao Xu looked at Xiao Ran, who was wronged and complained, but his cheeks were still glowing with happiness and joy, his eyes were gloomy, "Someone supervises you and cares about you, you should feel satisfied and happy, needless to say, don't go back, Father It is estimated that the Imperial Forest Army will be dispatched to find you again."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xu waved and ordered Gu Rong Gu Yi to bring the carriage over.

Xiao Ran suddenly looked downcast.

Looking at this scene, Chu Qingyan couldn't help but find it funny. Although Xiao Xu usually looked cold, he seemed to take good care of this imperial brother.

It's just that she faintly felt that when he said that sentence just now, his voice seemed to be tense, a little lonely.

She thought of the rumors she had heard before that Emperor Xixuan was more wary of this elder son than he loved him, and he was so indifferent to get close to him. When she looked up at the straight and calm figure in front of her, she suddenly felt a little distressed for the person in front of her.

"Brother Emperor, brat, I'm going back." When the carriage came to him, Xiao Ran no longer struggled fearlessly. He shook his hands at the two of them. Although he was a little unhappy, he got on the carriage obediently.

But at this moment, more than a dozen black figures jumped out of thin air, holding sharp knives and cold swords, roaring down.
