As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Xuan Ming put away his sword and walked slowly towards Xie Jiajia.

Sasha on the side wanted to speak.

Xuan Ming raised his hand to signal her to shut up.

Shasha pursed her lips and stood aside.

Xuan Ming stopped in front of Xie Jiajia. The afternoon sun was just right, shining on Xie Jiajia's body. She was very comfortable and she slept soundly.

His hands were folded to support his chin, and the tassels hanging from his bun fell on his forehead.

When Xuan Ming walked over, he blocked the sunlight and the shadow fell on Xie Jiajia.

The warmth dissipated a little, and Xie Jiajia frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.

Xuan Ming stepped aside a little and walked around Xie Jiajia, intending to see what she had drawn.

Seeing this, Xuan Ming was even more speechless.

I saw that the drawing paper was empty, not a single stroke!

Is his swordsmanship so hypnotic?
Really...

At this moment, Xie Jiajia, who was sleeping, fell to one side because her hands could no longer support her jaw.

Shasha quickly stepped forward to help.

But Xuan Ming was closer, and he stretched out two fingers to support Xie Jiajia's forehead.

Shasha had also come closer at this time, slowly supporting Xie Jiajia and flattening her arms.

Seeing that she was so cautious, she meant to let Xie Jiajia continue to sleep.

Xuan Ming frowned and thought for a moment, then turned his fingers, held Xie Jiajia's forehead, and put her head back on the arm that Shasha had flattened.

The sun shone on her body, and Xie Jiajia sighed and fell asleep again.

This first time, it ended like this.

Xie Jiajia didn't draw a single stroke, and felt very sad after returning home.

It was because she kept staying up late recently. She stayed with the old lady, seemingly just talking, but in fact it took a lot of energy. As a result, she fell asleep as soon as she was exposed to the sun.

Sin ah.

In order to ensure that this situation does not happen the next time she paints, Xie Jiajia warned herself to go to bed early and get up early and rest on time!
……

Five days later, Qingfeng Tower

In the special seats, Xuan Ming and Lu Hanqiu sat opposite each other.

"I will leave Beijing in a few days." Xuan Ming said with a solemn expression: "His Royal Highness has sent a secret message that there is no peace in northern Hebei."

"Oh."

Lu Hanqiu's expression was indifferent, "Your Highness is strategizing. Although there are some ambitious people in Northern Hebei, it is not under His Highness's control. You can just go and do it. Why did you ask me out specifically?"

"I may be away for a few months. You can take care of my mother for me."

"Oh?" Lu Hanqiu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Ask me to take care of you? Don't you know I'm busy? Besides, isn't there someone taking care of you recently?"

Xuan Ming was slightly startled, "Do you know what's going on in my house?"

"Are you talking about Miss Xie San walking to your house very diligently?"

"..."

Xuan Ming was silent for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Don't say so ambiguously, it will damage someone's reputation if outsiders hear it."

The corners of Lu Hanqiu's lips curled up slightly, and the look in his eyes was unclear, "She probably doesn't care much about her reputation, so you don't have to worry about her."

"It's her business whether she cares about it or not." Xuan Ming said seriously: "But I can't ignore it. If I am not careful about my honor, my life will be endangered. She has helped me a lot, so I can't harm others."

"alright."

Lu Hanqiu smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'll take care of it for you."

The two talked about some official business again, and Xuan Ming stood up and left. Before leaving, he warned again: "Just take care of me secretly. If nothing happens, you don't have to show up."

"Are you so afraid that she will see me? It's not like she doesn't know about our relationship."

"We're fine."

Xuan Ming said simply: "Don't get too close."

Lu Hanqiu laughed, shook his head and watched Xuan Ming leave.

When the door panel closed gently, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes shifted to look out the window.

Xuan Ming got on his horse, straddled it and left.

"Did you look to him for inspiration?" Lu Hanqiu sat back in the chair with an inelegant posture and said lightly: "It's quite fun."

*
When Xuanming returned to the house, Xie Jiajia was still playing around with the old lady.

He glanced at it from a distance, told his servants to keep a closer look, and then went back to his room to pack his bags.

When the old lady took a rest, it was dark again.

After the servants came to report Xuan Ming, Xuan Ming went to wait for Xie Jiajia outside the old lady's courtyard.After a while, Xie Jiajia came out.

It was normal to see Xuan Ming standing there.

"You won't have a bath tomorrow, right? Then I'll come over tomorrow." Xie Jiajia said.

"I'm afraid not."

"why?"

"I will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning for business." Xuan Ming stepped forward and stopped in front of Xie Jiajia, "I may have to leave for a few months."

"what?"

Xie Jiajia was stunned for a moment, "Why is it so sudden? I haven't painted a single picture yet!"

"What I promised you will always count. Just wait until I come back."

Xuan Ming was a little apologetic.

He has rarely apologized to people over the years.

Most of the people I came into contact with were on official business or were enemies. They were all straightforward and never owed anyone a favor.

Only Xie Jiajia.

His mother was the most important person in the world to him. Xie Jiajia helped him take care of her, which was a great benefactor to him. He promised Xie Jiajia, but never reciprocated. How could he not feel guilty?
Xuan Ming added: "When you get back...if you still want to know something about the military, I can ask His Highness, and if he allows me, I will tell you."

"Hey, okay then." Xie Jiajia was very sorry.

But seeing that he was so serious and still thinking about her previous inquiry about military matters for inspiration, her regret was not very deep.

"Go and do your work. Drawing and writing in my notebook are all trivial matters for me. It doesn't matter whether I draw or not. Let's talk about it when you come back!" Xie Jiajia smiled generously: "But I have something, you can do it for me Bring it to my little sister."

Xuan Ming nodded in agreement, looking hesitant and stopped talking.

Xie Jiajia stepped forward with a smile and patted Xuan Ming's arm: "Stop stumbling, isn't it just to take care of the old lady? No problem! I'll take care of it."

"..."

Xuan Ming took a deep breath, took two steps back, put his hands together and saluted Xie Jiajia: "Thank you very much!"

Xie Jiajia raised her eyebrows and suddenly sketched out a picture in her mind.

The scene would also look great, if used in a book.

She watched this scene carefully and didn't even call him for a while, waiting for Xuan Ming to straighten up.

Xuan Ming was a little cautious when he was looked at by Xie Jiajia.

But now is not the time.

He felt that although Xie Jiajia was a bit rebellious and occasionally went out of her way, she was still a kind and good girl at heart, and she helped him take care of his mother. He seemed to be more tolerant of her in his heart.

Xuan Ming said in a strained voice: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing...just stand still."

Xie Jiajia walked forward slowly, getting closer and closer.

Xuan Ming stepped back subconsciously.

Xie Jiajia said: "Don't move. What are you afraid of? I don't eat people."

"..."

Xuan Ming took a deep breath and really stood there motionless.

Xie Jiajia stopped a step in front of Xuan Ming, frowned, and took another half step forward.

Xuan Ming held his breath for a moment, and his whole body tensed up as if facing a powerful enemy, "What are you doing?"

Xie Jiajia looked at it for a moment and said, "Turn around."

"How to turn?"

"Like this!" Xie Jiajia took action directly, took his arm and told him to turn around, and then moved to Xuan Ming.

With Xuan Ming's back facing the light, a tall shadow fell on Xie Jiajia.

Xie Jiajia looked back and saw that her shadow was completely covered by him.

But she didn't feel any pressure.

Maybe it's because he is not strong and is a little afraid of her.

His tenseness and retreat made Xie Jiajia feel even more excited.

I really want to tease...

But Xie Jiajia still didn't dare.

It's fun to tease him for a while, he's in charge of the crematorium.

Don't dare! (End of chapter)
