"Reporting to wangfei, wangye has returned. The steward called this servant over to inform wangfei.”The servant lowered his head and whispered to Xiao Qingya, who was standing behind him, as if he was afraid of disturbing him.
"I understand." Xiao Qingya nodded lightly, turned around, and walked to Gu Zeyan's study. She knocked twice before pushing the door open and entering." Your Highness, please let Shang 'er and Che Ye go. I promise to let them leave the prince's mansion and not make you angry again."”
"Oh? How can this king believe you?" Gu Zeyan heard his voice and a trace of joy flashed in his heart. Then, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Qingya playfully.
"Your Highness, what do you think?" Xiao Qingya took a deep breath. To be honest, he was still a little scared of Gu Zeyan. He didn't want to have those memories again. Once was enough. He didn't want to have those memories again when he was sober.
"If you can assassinate the emperor during his birthday celebration in a few days, this king will believe you.”Gu Zeyan put down the book in his hand and walked in front of Xiao Qingya. He gently lifted his chin and looked at Xiao Qingya with an evil smile.
"Is what your highness said true?" Xiao Qingya didn't hide her clear eyes from Gu Zeyan. He wanted to know if he was telling the truth.
"This king's words are of nine tripods, how can it not be true?”Gu Zeyan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the palpitating eyes, but he forcefully suppressed the palpitations in the bottom of his heart until they disappeared.
"Alright, I'll do it." Xiao Qingya shook off the hand on her chin and turned to leave. She said softly," I hope this is what His Highness thinks."”
In the following days after the last conversation between the two of them, Xiao Qingya still did not see her face in her courtyard, and the four male companions did not have any thoughts of meeting the princess consort, so they were safe and sound. Then, in an accident, Xiao Qingya saw a green shadow under the peach blossom tree as soon as she walked out of the courtyard. She was slightly stunned, and then she thought that the person in front of her might be the prince's male companion. Her heart faintly ached, and she turned around to leave without looking at that person.
"Since wangfei wanted to see this tree, why didn't you come here?”A gentle, charming, and cold voice slowly expressed her master's desire for nothing at the moment.
Xiao Qingya stopped when she heard the words of the person behind her. She turned around and walked to the stone table under the tree to sit opposite this person. She nodded slightly and did not say anything. She did not know how to ask.
"I am the prince's male pet, Huang 'er, a former courtesan.”Huang 'er was the first to break the silence between the two of them and introduced herself. She looked at the person opposite her, whose face was a little pale, but still cold. Her calm eyes made people fascinated.
" Young Master Huang, why…" Xiao Qingya paused for a moment before continuing," You want to tell me all this?”
"Nothing. I just feel like this place is like a cage and want to find someone to talk to.”Huang 'er poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qingya and lifted her cup of tea to look up at the sky.
"Cage?" Xiao Qingya looked around in confusion. The walls of the high court did have the smell of a cage, but she had never thought that if she left this cage, she would jump into another cage. "This is just jumping from one cage to another. If Young Master Huang thinks that this is a cage, then where is the true freedom?”
" That's right, where is the real freedom…" Huang 'er repeated Xiao Qingya's words softly and smiled faintly. This smile made everyone in the world willing to give up everything for this smile. She was truly a demon.
"Sorry, Qingya still has something to do.”Xiao Qingya suddenly remembered that she hadn't practiced today, so she stood up and bowed to Huang 'er before striding away.
Huang 'er looked at the departing figure and felt a faint melancholy in her heart. Why did his highness not love such a beautiful person? Why did she have to find a male pet? Why was he being tortured like this? He sighed softly and picked up the teapot to pour himself a cup of hot tea. He looked down at the rising steam in the cup and felt sorry for Xiao Qingya and Gu Zeyan.
There was nothing lacking in the manor, the least of which was news. In less than a day, everyone in the talisman knew about Xiao Qingya and Huang 'er's meeting. Even Gu Zeyan knew about it. However, he did not say anything and just quietly watched the situation develop. The others wanted to watch a good show, but unfortunately, it was difficult to see it. This also made the other three male companions restless. The next day, he arrived at Huang 'er's courtyard early in the morning.
"I heard that you met the princess consort? How was he? Is he a powerful character?" Ruo Liu heard that Huang 'er had seen wangfei the day before yesterday, so he went to find Tao Li to find Huang' er together. Halfway there, he met Qingmo who was admiring chrysanthemums, so he also pulled her over and asked her briskly.
"He's a beauty." Huang 'er looked at the three of them indifferently and replied slowly. Her hands were wet with tea and she gently opened the tea. She was proficient in brewing tea. Even when she was brewing tea, her movements were gentle and elegant. She was even more charming and seductive.
"Just like that? Is there nothing else?" Tao Li also didn't believe that such a beauty wouldn't be liked by his highness. Something must have offended his highness.
"No, I haven't." Huang 'er smiled charmingly, the seductive look in her eyes becoming even stronger." What else do you want?”
"I'm just curious. Why is he not favored anymore?”Ruo Liu winked at Huang 'er with a smile, just like when he was in the Unfettered Pavilion, he only needed to wink at her and someone would automatically come up to him. However, he seemed to have forgotten that this was the top courtesan in front of him, so this did not work on him.
"Right, what has the princess been doing these past few days? Not only did he not come out to eat with us, but he also did not come out to meet us. His Highness even acquiesced to this matter. I really don't understand them.”Tao Li's words always carried a trace of innocence, as if his shrewdness was completely covered by this trace of innocence.
"Wangfei, you can't go there.”Suddenly, an anxious voice sounded. The voice sounded like it was from Baili Qingkong.
The four of them stood up at the same time. Ruo Liu even pulled the three of them to see who this Xiao Qingya was. They hadn't seen her for so many days, yet she could still make his highness so silent. Before they even reached the front, they saw a thin figure standing there. Other than Huang 'er, the other three were stunned. Just by looking at the slender figure in a white shirt, his long hair fluttering in the air, he faintly exuded the aura of a noble. There was also a peaceful and quiet temperament, and they knew that he must be a handsome young master.
"Why not?" Xiao Qingya asked coldly. Although her voice wasn't too light, it still made people understand the question.
" His Royal Highness said that no one is allowed to see Feng Shang. If you go now, won't you…" Baili Qingkong's eyes were filled with worry and he did not know how to continue.
"His Royal Highness won't make things difficult for me because of such a small matter. He still has things waiting for me to do.”Xiao Qingya smiled slightly. However, this smile unexpectedly made people feel at ease.
"Princess Consort, where are you going?" If Liu asked first, it was frivolous and rude. Baili Qingkong and Xiao Qingya furrowed their brows slightly.
"Huang 'er greets wangfei." Huang 'er nodded and bowed to Xiao Qingya, but she was not as impetuous as Ruo Liu, showing more respect.
Xiao Qingya heard the voices of the two people and knew that they must have all come. She could only turn around to see the four of them. Xiao Qingya could tell at a glance that Tao Li and Ruo Liu were not simple, and the coldness on Qingmo's face was not something that ordinary people could pretend to be. It seemed that the four of them had their own means to be famous in the Freedom Pavilion for so long.
Among the four, only Huang 'er smiled and nodded at Xiao Qingya. The other three were sizing up Xiao Qingya. His face had turned pale due to physical discomfort, but it couldn't hide his handsome face. The calm look in his eyes could easily attract people and make them unable to come out. His high nose bridge and thin pink lips made people want to kiss him. It was a pity that his highness had left such a beauty aside.
"Young Master Huang, you don't have to be so polite. You and I are both people from this Imperial Residence and are also people by His Highness's side.”Xiao Qingya said lightly, causing the other three to come back to their senses.
