Chapter 74

"Then you're not going out yet?" Zuo Xiangning rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"I'm not someone else." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Besides, what are you like I haven't seen before?"

Such ambiguous words made Zuo Xiangning's eyes suddenly widen, and she turned red and said angrily: "What are you talking about? What did you see about me?"

Ling Xiao has seen a lot, but how can he dare to say it?

"I wake up earlier than you every day. Of course I have seen you when you are sleeping." Ling Xiao smiled and asked, "What else do you think I have seen?"

"Go out quickly. My eldest brother will see you soon and have to ask endless questions." Zuo Xiangning urged.

"Why does your elder brother always ask you questions every day?" Ling Xiao stood up dissatisfied, "You change clothes first, and I will get you something to eat."

Zuo Xiangning wrinkled her nose, stood up and wrapped the long strip of cloth around her chest, then put on her middle coat and outer coat.

As soon as she appeared at the door, the guard at the door said: "Sir, your hot water has been boiled. I will bring it in for you."

Zuo Xiangning was also speechless.

This Ling Xiao clearly knew that her eldest brother was guarding him like a thief, and he even replaced all the soldiers at his door with his guards. Wasn't this clearly against her eldest brother?

Ling Xiao brought porridge, pancakes, and two side dishes.

"I'll take you to the city to eat delicious food later."

"Everyone is so busy, but as the Crown Prince of Zhongyuan, you are wandering around, which is unseemly for others to see." Zuo Xiangning whispered: "Besides, my eldest brother said that he will finish his work in a few days. Will take me shopping."

"If you say that, then I will keep your brother busy for a moment." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice.

Zuo Xiangning glared at him secretly and said no more.

After eating, she followed Ling Xiao into the city.

Ling Xiao couldn't wait to buy Zuo Xiangning all the things that were not available in the capital.

Zuo Xiangning stopped her and even bought half a car.

In the afternoon, Ling Xiao took Zuo Xiangning to the best inn in the city, "We'll stay here tonight."

"Aren't you going back to the military camp?" Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows, "My eldest brother will be anxious."

"I sent someone back to tell him." Ling Xiao said with a smile: "It's too noisy in the military camp. You can take a good bath and sleep in here."

Ling Xiao said distressedly: "Look how thin you have become?"

"It's better to go back." Zuo Xiangning always felt something was wrong, "My eldest brother would really be worried."

"It's too late. The city gates on the border have been closed early." Ling Xiao said, "It's already closed at this hour."

"Just talk nonsense." Zuo Xiangning did not argue with him about what was true or false.

She knew she couldn't beat him, so she turned around and followed the waiter to a secluded small courtyard in the back.

Ling Xiao followed her with a smile and asked the waiter to quickly prepare hot water.

Zuo Xiangning entered the guest room and frowned when she saw him following him in. "There won't be only one room left today, right?"

"No, I just want to see if everything in this room is ready." Ling Xiao walked around the room. Although everything was not expensive, it was still novel and unique.

"You will live here from now on. I will ask my guards to stay with you here. I will pick you up when I finish my work and return to the capital."

Zuo Xiangning also found that this small courtyard was carefully decorated and did not look like an ordinary inn.

"Did you arrange all the things here?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"It took two days to arrange it." Ling Xiao smiled and nodded: "There are no good things in the remote countryside here, so you have to make do with it."

"It's already very good." Zuo Xiangning touched the jade inkstone on the table with the carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and said softly: "Thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me? You can go shopping here. You can buy whatever you want. You don't have to wear men's clothes anymore. You can just let the kitchen in the inn cook whatever you want." Ling Xiao took out two banknotes and put them on the table. "If you don't have enough money, let them exchange it."

You don't have to be so nice to me.

Zuo Xiangning knew she should say this.

But when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out.She knew that if she said this, the man in front of her would explode like a firecracker.

Ling Xiao saw her standing there with her head lowered, her face full of shyness, and she said in a gentler voice: "All the clothes are in the bathroom. You take a shower first, I'll wait for you outside."

"Yeah." Zuo Xiangning responded softly.

Two quarters of an hour later, Zuo Xiangning came out wearing an orange dress.

Her black hair was fluffy and tied up, exposing her snow-white neck, and there was a sweet smile on her lips, like the spring light in March, warm and soft.

Ling Xiao's eyes were full of surprise.

He had always thought she was cute when she was chubby, but now he discovered that every time she lost weight, she became more delicate and charming, and her beauty was unmistakable.

"You look good in this color." Ling Xiao looked at her hair, "You don't know how to comb your hair?"

Zuo Xiangning touched her fluffy bun and said, "It's not very good to comb it."

"That's good too..." Ling Xiao coughed slightly, looked away reluctantly, and said, "I'll have someone prepare the meal."

At night, Zuo Xiangning lay on the bed. Before she could fall asleep, she heard the sound of banging on the door coming from outside.

She didn't know what happened, so she got out of bed and put on her coat.

Then, she heard her eldest brother's voice in the yard.

"Xiaosi? Come out!"

Zuo Xiangning didn't have time to comb her hair, so she wrapped the cloak around her body and hurriedly left the room, "Brother!"

Ling Xiao walked out from the room next to him while fastening his buttons, "Brother Zuo, why did you come here when you were up so late at night?"

Zuo Zixi breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that the two of them came out of different rooms.

He was afraid that Xiang Ning would be deceived by Ling Xiao and make a big mistake, and he would not be able to explain it to his family.

"I'll take her back." Zuo Zixi looked at Zuo Xiangning with disheveled hair and scolded: "You're such a bigoted girl. I asked you to wait for me in the military camp. Why are you disobedient? Clean it up quickly. , go back with me."

"Oh." Zuo Xiangning hurriedly returned to the room.

"That's a military camp where all the men live. It's not suitable for her to live there." Ling Xiao walked up to Zuo Zixi and whispered: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect her safety."

"I'm afraid it's even more inappropriate for her to live here with the prince." Zuo Zixi also whispered: "Someone in the military camp should have guessed that she is my fourth sister. Now the prince has blatantly brought her here. Do you have any idea?" Have you ever thought about what people outside would say about her?"

Ling Xiao's face darkened slightly.

He has determined that this woman will be his sooner or later, but he does not want her reputation to be damaged.

"Who dares?" Ling Xiao's eyes were slightly cold, "After returning to the capital, I will send someone to Zuofu to propose marriage..."

"Marriage has been the order of parents since ancient times. What is the name of what you are doing now? It is called private giving and receiving. Don't say that you don't have a marriage contract now. Even if you have...she will really marry into the Hou Mansion in the future, this matter will be It will give her no place to stand." Zuo Zixi looked at the man in front of him with his head held high, and said righteously: "My sister, Zuo Zixi, must not be criticized and become someone else's conversation piece."

Zuo Xiangning opened the door and when she heard the second half of her eldest brother's words, tears filled her eyelashes.

It makes her heartbroken to think about how such a good brother of hers died at such a young age in his previous life.

She was very lucky that she could run here regardless of the consequences and save her elder brother.

"Brother, let's go." She stepped forward and took her brother's arm with a smile.

Zuo Zixi wanted to say a few more words to Zuo Shining, but seeing the crooked look on her face, he didn't want to.

He glanced at Ling Xiao and walked out of the courtyard with Zuo Xiangning.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, went back to the room and closed the door with a bang.

Zuo Xiangning paused as she walked outside the hospital.

Zuo Zixi pulled her forward and said, "He has such a bad temper. If you seize the opportunity, give him a lesson if you can."

"Brother, he and I really have nothing to do with each other." Zuo Xiangning said with a blushing face.

"Nothing?" Zuo Zixi said, "Then you don't need to worry about him."
