The emperor plays a rogue: a cute little gambling concubine

Chapter 427 The Changed Little Princess

The two returned along the road, Lian Jingxi called Mengmeng's name while walking, Yuan Yuxuan followed her all the time, didn't speak, just looked left and right to search.

From the imperial garden to the lakeside, Lian Jingxi didn't find Mengmeng's figure all the way, so she couldn't help worrying.

Seeing her sad expression, Yuan Yuxuan couldn't help but close his eyes, walked to her side, reached out and rubbed her head, comforting her like when she was unhappy when she was a child.

"Don't worry, this is the imperial palace, Mengmeng is your dog, the maids or eunuchs will definitely treat him kindly when they see it."

Lian Jingxi pursed her lips and thought, "But it's still so small..." She was so satisfied with Mengmeng's body that she didn't notice Yuan Yuxuan's change at all.

Yuan Yuxuan frowned, and pulled her to face him forcefully with his big hand. He lowered his eyes to look at her, "I promise you, I will help you find it, but you go back home with me first, okay?" His gaze Moving down, the wound on her lip where she was bitten by herself is still oozing blood.

Lian Jingxi lowered her eyes, since it was Yu Xuan's request, she would listen.

She nodded, took a deep breath, and replied with a smile: "Okay."

Seeing her being so obedient, Yuan Yuxuan couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and he reached out to touch her face, more like a reward, "Be good."

At this moment, Lian Jingxi realized that something was wrong with Yuan Yuxuan, she was a little surprised and also a little shy, why did he suddenly become gentle to her?

"Let's go." He took her hand very naturally, thinking that she was four years old at that time, and he was ten years old at that time, and he also led her away like this.

Holding her hand in his palm, at this moment, he realized that her hand was so soft and boneless, as greasy as suet.

Yuan Yuxuan finally gave up his horse and sat in the carriage with Lian Jingxi. She looked preoccupied, and from the moment she got into the carriage, she turned her face to the window and didn't even look at him.

"Jing Xi?" Yuan Yuxuan is not used to this kind of feeling. Before he was with her, she always talked a lot, talking about today's interesting things, talking about what the Grand Scholar taught, otherwise she would just stick to him. Why? Since then, she no longer likes to talk to him?
Lian Jingxi turned her face to look at him, her gaze slowly moved down, and landed on the hands they held.

"Yuxuan, I lost my temper just now." She shouldn't have threatened him with death.

It turned out that she was thinking about this matter, Yuan Yuxuan understood, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his other free hand rubbed the top of her hair again.

"It's okay, as long as you don't say those words again, huh?" She didn't know, his heart seemed to sink into a bottomless abyss just now, and he really didn't want to see her like this now.

"Yuxuan, you..." Lian Jingxi stared at him with rounded eyes, hesitant to speak, she wanted to know, did he really not care about the past anymore?

"What? What do you want to say?" Yuan Yuxuan's tone was extremely light, not gentle, but not as cold as before.

"No." Lian Jingxi didn't ask any more, but shook her head, or maybe they should give each other some time.

Yuan Yuxuan didn't like her now. She used to tell him no matter what was in her heart, but now, she seemed to hide many things from him.

The two just clasped hands, but they didn't speak any more along the way. Yuan Yuxuan was not a talkative person, but he didn't like silence. However, the person who loves to talk the most doesn't talk, so how could he speak?
After an unknown amount of time, the General's Mansion arrived. Yuan Yuxuan got out of the carriage first, and waited for her below to help her get off the carriage, but seeing her jumping to the other side after opening the curtain, his heart was so frightened that he hurried around Go over the horse's head to her.

Her movements were very flexible, and she didn't know how many times she had jumped. Yuan Yuxuan stared at her face with a gloomy expression, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lian Jingxi didn't understand why he looked at herself with such surprised eyes.

"Lian Jingxi, how could you jump from such a high place? Since when did you become..." Yuan Yuxuan was annoyed by her, so he raised his voice unconsciously, but when he realized that she had become so When he was independent and didn't need help from others, his heart tightened unexpectedly.

How much has she changed during the more than a year when he didn't take care of her? !

Lian Jingxi pursed her lips, looking helpless, she didn't need to bother him, isn't he happy?
Didn't he say before that he would never talk to her again?He no longer cares about her, she must become independent and strong.

Yuan Yuxuan took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise and anger in his heart, clasped her shoulders with his big hands, and said, "Jingxi, from now on, you are not allowed to jump off the carriage again, do you understand?"

Lian Jingxi rolled her eyes and nodded heavily, "I see."

Hearing her promise to him, Yuan Yuxuan's mood finally improved slightly. He looked her body from top to bottom, and then asked again: "Just jumped like that, where did you get hurt?"

Lian Jingxi shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I really have nothing wrong with me, if you don't believe me, look!" She spun a few times in front of him, jumped a few times, suddenly the world was spinning, and she looked towards his Fall down.

Yuan Yuxuan quickly caught her and held her in his arms.

Lian Jingxi leaned against his chest, and next to her ears was the sound of his powerful heartbeat, which was very clear and loud.

"Yuxuan..."

"You, what should I say about you?" He sighed heavily, speaking in a tone of dumbfounding.

Letting go of her body and holding her steady, he looked at her startled little face and asked, "How is it? Are you still dizzy?"

Lian Jingxi shook her head, then nodded, looking helplessly at his offendingly handsome face, she didn't know where she was getting dizzy.

Seeing her shaking her head and nodding, Yuan Yuxuan didn't know whether she was comfortable or uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and finally put his arms around her slender waist, and they walked into the General's Mansion together.

The behavior of the two was a bit intimate, apart from Lian Jingxi who was not used to it, even Tang Yuan was a little surprised when he saw them, his eyes lingered on them generously, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

"General, princess."

Yuan Yuxuan hummed lightly, and then asked Uncle Ji to prepare dinner. Uncle Ji came back to his senses, nodded and hid in the kitchen.

Is Princess Ganqing reconciled with the general?He walked in with hugs and hugs.

The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and Yuan Yuxuan's attitude changed too much. Lian Jingxi was not used to it at all, she smiled weakly, and then said: "Yuan Yuxuan, I'm a little tired, go back to the room to rest first."

Originally, he wanted to use such words to dismiss him, but when she turned around, he stretched out his hand and grabbed her hand.

"Wait a minute, eat dinner before going back to the room." It was already this hour.

"I... I'm not hungry!" Could it be that he wants to eat with himself?He was obviously so reluctant last time!
Yuan Yuxuan frowned, looked at her deeply, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his entire facial expression was tense.

No, Yuxuan is going to be angry!This kind of cognition sprouted in Lian Jingxi's mind, and she quickly smiled to please her.

"Actually...not that full."

Just like that, Yuan Yuxuan dragged Lian Jingxi, who looked awkward, to the dining room, and waited for Ji Shu to prepare the dishes. The two of them were silent again in the dining room.

"Jingxi." He called her softly.

"Huh?" Lian Jingxi turned her face sideways, her eyes a little blank.

Yuan Yuxuan stared at her face like an arrow, and after a long time, he sighed heavily.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"Huh?" Lian Jingxi never thought that he would ask herself such a question.

Could it be that his fear of him is so obvious?

"I do not have it."

"I watched you grow up since I was a child. It can be said that I have given you most of my life from birth to now. Are you afraid of me? Can't I see it?" Yuan Yuxuan spoke in a calm tone, and his mood was How, only he himself knows.

"Yuxuan, I'm actually not afraid of you, but I just feel that the current situation... is unreal."

How long had it been since they had been in the same room so peacefully?She was afraid that everything in front of her was just an illusion, and everything was not real.

"You don't believe me?" She felt that it was false for him to say that he had forgiven her.

"I didn't!" Lian Jingxi quickly waved her hands to explain, "I never said I didn't believe you!"

Seeing Lian Jingxi's flustered appearance, Yuan Yuxuan couldn't help but sighed softly in his heart, and there was a feeling of rejoicing.

He reached out and took her hand and clasped it in his palm, "Jingxi, from now on, forget about those unhappy things in the past, don't think about it anymore, and likewise, I won't think about it again, okay?"

His gaze was very serious and sincere, Lian Jingxi looked at him closely, and then nodded for a long time.

"Okay, I forgot."

"Good girl." He reached out and stroked her head tenderly.

In the past, she worked hard to be a good girl for his gentleness, but now, he seemed to want to put back the distance between her and her.

She looked deeply at his expressionless but unusually gentle side face, her heart moved, and her face blushed again.

Sure enough, she still liked Yuxuan the most.

After dinner, Lian Jingxi still used the excuse of being tired to go back to her room to rest. Yuan Yuxuan sent her to the door of the bedroom. She waved her hand and wanted to go in, but he suddenly reached out and grabbed her.

"Yuxuan?"

He pulled her in front of him, looked at her face softly, from the corners of his eyes and brows to her pink lips, he frowned, and raised his hands to hold her face.

"You..." Lian Jingxi looked flustered, stretched out her hand to support his chest, and saw him smile with his lips drawn.

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Lian Jingxi really didn't get used to the jokes, even when their relationship was the best before, he would never say such flirtatious words to himself.

He suddenly bowed his head, and a handsome face magnified infinitely in front of her eyes.

She closed her eyes suddenly, thinking: Don't you just want to kiss her? !bring it on!
