The sky was slightly yellow and the air all smelled like saltpeter.

The young girl tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her and never let go, she was watching the fireworks and the person on her side was watching her.

''Boom'' and ''Boom'' Several dull sounds overlapped with bright sparks in the distance.

One by one, the fireworks scurried up into the sky with red-hot sparks, a few crunching sounds, and sparkling light streamed down from the sky, and the sky became a sea of light.

"Chu Yunshen, I don't want to leave the palace."

Cheng Xiaoxiao's voice sounded far and near in the wind.

Before Chu Yunshen could speak, she spoke again slowly in a serious voice,

"Chu Yunshen, I don't want to go home alone. I know what will happen tomorrow, so I don't want to go back."

"You'll be in danger, silly."

Chu Yunshen's voice of address was said especially softly, and could not be heard clearly at all in this noisy sound of fireworks.

His hand moved to touch Cheng Xiaoxiao's head, but when he thought of his current situation, he ultimately did not make the next move.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't notice all of this, she took a deep breath and choked on the smell of saltpeter in the air, almost coughing and shedding tears.

But she didn't care about that, instead, she inhaled her nose carelessly and raised her head to look seriously at Chu Yunshen,

"I know. But I just want to be with you. Just like every time we live and die together, facing danger together."

The eyes of the young girl in front of him were bright and compelling, causing Chu Yunshen to not dare to look at her, but he couldn't afford not to look at her.

"Chu Yunshen, I want you to personally pick me up tomorrow and we'll go home together."

Cheng Xiaoxiao's face was raw from the wind, but she heard her own voice along with her heartbeat, each sound so clear and hard.

It's like these eye-catching fireworks, desperately riveted to bloom and blossom.

"Good."

As the sky darkened, Cheng Xiaoxiao heard a not-so-loud response.

This voice was just as firm as her voice just now, and Chu Yunshen's eyes were looking at her with the same inexplicable light, looking at Cheng Xiaoxiao was another heartbeat.

The fireworks in the sky were still brightly lit, Chu Yunshen kept sending Cheng Xiaoxiao into the Jinxiu Palace before leaving the palace with peace of mind.

Of course before leaving, he still asked Chu Hongyi to take care of Cheng Xiao Xiao, Cheng Xiao Xiao and Chu Hongyi who stayed in the Jinxiu Palace were nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice, just short of writing 'I am the most obedient' four words on their bodies.

When Chu Yunshen walked out of the temple door, he was still a little uneasy, looking at Chu Yunshen's desire to speak Cheng Xiaoxiao was difficult for Chu Yunshen.

"Don't worry, we'll be home tomorrow."

Cheng Xiaoxiao shouted at Chu Yunshen without mincing words.

Chu Yunshen was originally still looking at Cheng Xiaoxiao three times a step back, but now he was completely relieved.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was still waving her hand vigorously at Chu Yunshen, and that look made Chu Yunshen think of the way she looked when she was a lion cat.

Chu Yunshen didn't hold back and extended his hand as well, only reacting to what he had just done when he was done with the action.

In the end it was just another hastily departing back.

"Fourth brother just waved at us hey! It's never happened before."

Chu Hongyi's fussing voice caused Chu Yunshen's pace to quicken a few more points, favoring Chu Hongyi who still didn't know how to restrain himself.

"Just how does it look like it's falling apart?"

Chu Hongyi discussed with Cheng Xiaoxiao in a whisper, but what he got in return was Cheng Xiaoxiao's cold treatment.

She stopped waving her hand only when she couldn't see Chu Yunshen, and her first words to Chu Hongyi were,

"I'm going to look for Gyun Shao Yi, I'll be back later."

"Again?"

Chu Hongyi's attention was still on Chu Yunshen, who had just left, but now he directly turned his head to look at Cheng Xiaoxiao, with a hint of sorrow in his tone.

"What the fuck? It's not allowed?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao learned the northeastern dialect to cross her eyes and ask Chu Hongyi rhetorically, and her hand also pushed on Chu Hongyi's shoulder one by one.

"I, no ... not ..."

According to Chu Hongyi's physique surely won't be pushed backward by Cheng Xiaoxiao, but his qi is not strong ah.

Chu Hongyi could only stammer as he watched Cheng Xiaoxiao's movements, wanting to explain but having no way to do so, so anxious that his handsome face was wrinkled into a ball.

"I'll be back early, back to eat cake with you."

Finally, habitually tiptoeing to pat Chu Hongyi's shoulder, Cheng Xiaoxia did not wait for Chu Hongyi's reaction before dashing back to his room to change his clothes.

When she came around to Zhu Rong's new separate court in her courtesan's clothes, Zhu Rong also looked at her with quite a bit of surprise.

"Was it a surprise and a pleasant surprise to see me?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao exaggeratedly spun around as if she was satisfied with this expression on Zhu Rong's face.

"You shouldn't have stayed."

Zhu Rong sighed with a complex expression, frowning where was half of her previous cool beauty-like demeanor left.

"Oops, I'll take what I can get. I've already spoken to your family's master, and I can't go back now."

Cheng Xiaoxiao nonchalantly sat herself down at the table, looking at her roguish appearance it was like she was glued to Zhu Rong.

She propped her head on her hand and looked sideways at Zhu Rong, who was not far away,

"Rong Rong you can give me the whole fake face again, or else I won't be able to go to the family banquet with you guys tomorrow."

Her tone was just too flat, as if she was as relaxed as when she was discussing with Zhu Rong about what to eat and what kind of weather it was today.

"You're still going to the house party?"

Zhu Rong heard this and sat beside Cheng Xiaoxiao, looking seriously at Cheng Xiaoxiao and said word by word, "Tomorrow's family banquet is extremely dangerous, you can't go."

Hearing this overbearing rejection from Zhu Rong, Cheng Xiaoxiao instantly felt beautiful in her heart.

But she still smiled and held Zhu Rong's hand,

"Rong Rong, I have to go. You're all here, so naturally I have to be with you."

Cheng Xiaoxiao was originally quite serious, but when she thought of Chu Yunshen, who accompanied her under the fireworks in the sky yesterday, suddenly the whole person became mushy,

"And your master has agreed to it."

Zhu Rong looked sideways at Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was full of spring, and finally did not continue to persuade.

The two had just finished teaching the disguise technique Cheng Xiaoxiao hadn t even opened the door to the room when she heard Yuan Qing s shrill voice from outside.

"The Emperor is here!" —

"What to do what to do?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly panicked, she was still here and hadn't been able to leave ah.

"It's okay, you were pretending to be my courtesan last time anyway, so this time just be the same as last time."

Zhu Rong's complexion was still slightly unnatural, but still contained a smile to comfort Cheng Xiaoxiao.

Yeah!

I'm a courtesan now. Who am I afraid of?

It's never wrong for me to stay here bright and early, is it?

Rong Rong is now a Zhaoyi, Zhaoyi still must have a few more palace maids.

Cheng Xiaoxiao proudly straightened her breasts that didn't have much rise and fall, and obediently went forward with Zhu Rong to receive the driver.

Tonight's Chu Hongzhen Cheng Xiaoxiao always felt strange, but she could not specifically say what the situation was, so she had to be careful to survey Chu Hongzhen and Zhu Rong when they were talking.

"Dash ... Little, you stand down."

I did not expect Zhu Rong actually let her leave, Cheng Xiaoxiao look at Zhu Rong and Chu Hongzhen this look, I know that I guess the two are something to talk about.

You're going to ask her why that's her guess and not some other color-bearing idea?

Isn't that bullshit?

Chu Hongzhen cold face it, Zhu Rong's expression also returned to the previous cool look.

One must know that after she taught Zhu Rong the 'White Lotus Flower Eighteen Styles' last time, Zhu Rong was no longer in his current state.

That's why this restoration of old conditions today is so counterintuitive in any way.

If you say that's the case, these two are still in love.

If you beat Cheng Xiaoxiao to death, Cheng Xiaoxiao won't believe it.

Although Cheng Xiaoxiao's person retreated, her heart remained in the room.

On the contrary, there was still Yuan Qing guarding the doorway, and by the looks of him, he wouldn't be leaving for a while.

What's going on here? I'm going to have to go eavesdropping to find out!

Cheng Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she circled around the other court a whole time before she finally found a ladder in the corner.

When she grunted and climbed to the roof, Chu Hongzhen and Zhu Rong inside the house also finally broke the silent stalemate.

"Doesn't His Majesty need to review the zhengfu recently?"

Zhu Rong was not minded to ask, thinking of the first padding to pull the family. After all, today she wants to confess her identity with Chu Hongzhen, can not come up so abruptly.

Who had thought that as soon as Zhu Rong's words were finished, Chu Hongzhen's originally taut face actually revealed a very deliberate smile.

Cheng Xiaoxiao had already smoothly plopped down on the tiles, and in order to listen more carefully, she also secretly lifted a thin slit, just enough to be able to see the slender silhouette inside.

Zhu Rong's ears twitched strangely, as if to hide something, and she cleared her throat before speaking again,

"Is Your Majesty's body tired? I'll go make you a cup of tea to relieve your fatigue?"

Chu Hongzhen did not say yes or no, but only looked meaningfully at Zhu Rong's face, as if he wanted to see through something.

Cheng Xiaoxiao waited for half a day and did not wait for Chu Hongzhen's answer, and in her heart she vaguely felt that things were even more wrong.

The last time she looked at Chu Hongzhen although she also did not have much interaction with Zhu Rong, but the eyes that looked at Zhu Rong were completely full of love.

Moreover, under the compulsion of 'Beauty Incense', how could Chu Hongzhen be so cold.

It would be too weird and out of character if this was the normal pattern between the two of them.

What Cheng Xiaoxiao thought was not false, Zhu Rong also noticed the change in Chu Hongzhen.

But if Chu Hongzhen didn't say anything, she couldn't be bothered to ask directly.

You can only drag it out like this and see what happens when the time comes.

The two inside the house fell into an awkward silence, and Cheng Xiaoxiao's body was getting sore from lying on the roof.

She also didn't dare to move, in case she disturbed the people inside the house again, Cheng Xiaoxiao would not have enough lives to be killed ah.

The sky was terribly dark, and while it was clearly just a normal night, she inexplicably felt a hint of murderous intent.

Maybe it is really too cold, even the wind is with wet, so go on these two days is not to rain ah.

There was still no sound in the room, Cheng Xiaoxiao half tilted her head and silently began to desert in her heart.

"There is no need for Aife to be busy, just sit with me for a while."

Zhu Rong stood there to go out also not, stay also not, finally waited until Chu Hongzhen opened his mouth to speak.

That's what it sounds like.

Cheng Xiaoxiao scrambled to reattach her ears to the tiles at the first opportunity, and while the cold tiles cooled her face to the point of pain, she revealed a smile of satisfaction.

She didn't know that Zhu Rong inside the room had already frowned in an impenetrable manner, and there was a puzzled light in her eyes.

Chu Hongzhen had just called 'Aifei', not that previous term of endearment 'beauty'.

Is this his way of getting a head start on confessing?
