Chapter 330 (1/2)

The light in the lantern hit Xue ronghua's side face. Her curled eyelashes cast a shadow at the bottom of her eyes. Chu Chengxun looked at her eyes more and more deeply. The lampshade is also a portrait of beauty. But not half as beautiful as her.

Xiyu looks at the master's affectionate eyes. Hurriedly pulled the corners of his clothes behind him and whispered, ”Lord, you should be more careful. If the prospective Princess sees it, it won't end.”

Chu Chengxun also felt that his eyes were too explicit. He coughed unnaturally. He replied, ”I have my own discretion, so you don't have to worry.”

”Can the slave not worry about it? The prospective princess went out without permission against the will of Duan Wang. If Duan Wang knew about it, he would also let him know that we were watching the Lantern Festival together. What should we do after returning to the house?”

”What are you worried about doing so much? You see when the princess to be is as scared as you,” Chu Chengxun recalled a playful smile. ”Don't worry, the princess to be is a smart person. If she can come out to see the Lantern Festival, she won't be afraid that Duanwang will know. Do you think Duanwang can know?”

Xiyu wanted to say something more, but he waved his hand to stop him. He had to give up and sweep both sides of the street, wary of whether he would meet the servants from Duan Wang's house.

”Childe Xue has a fancy for some interesting lantern riddles.” Chu Chengxun smiled. ”Can you tell me? It's also for fun.”

Xue ronghua's eyes shifted from the rotating lanterns, smiled at him and said, ”they are very simple things. I guessed a lot with my father when I was a child. It's just the rest of our play. It's meaningless. I want to disappoint you.”

”There's nothing to be disappointed about. Guessing lantern riddles is nothing but fun,” Chu Chengxun stared at her. ”When I came out to play a few days ago, I ate wonton in a nearby shop. It's better than the imperial food in the palace. It tastes like fireworks. If you have time, you might as well try it with me.”

Zhui'er was stunned and hurriedly reminded: ”Miss, the Lord is coming back soon. We'd better hurry back to the house. If the Lord doesn't see the miss when he comes back, the slave maid will be beaten by the king.”

Xue ronghua glanced at her angrily. ”Don't worry. Why are you so nervous? I'm here for everything. If I don't allow him, he won't dare to hit you.”

Xiyu also reminded his master, ”Lord, we're going to send the princess to be back. The servant is about the time. It's time for the king to return to the house. You also know the king's temper. If you don't see the princess to be, it won't end well if you think of us.”

Chu Chengxun glanced at him lightly. ”If you want to go back so much, you might as well go back yourself. You can deal with him for a while. I'll come back after eating wonton with the princess to be.”

Xiyu took a breath, ”Lord, this is not a joke. Duanwang finally believed us. Don't make any mistakes.”

Chu Chengxun didn't want to talk to him, but looked at her with a smile, ”Miss Xue, it shouldn't take us long to eat wonton there. We should be able to come back before Duanwang. Besides, Duanwang hasn't arrived at the house when you came out. Maybe he stayed in the palace for the night. If you don't worry, we'll go and eat. If you're worried, I'll send you back.”

”What I have to worry about is eating wonton,” Xue ronghua said with a smile. ”I haven't eaten wonton for a long time. I don't want to eat yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival. It's a good choice.”

Chu Chengxun moved in his heart and waved his hand behind him, ”please.”

When Chu Zongge returned to the house, he saw that the lights in the West Pavilion where the princess to be was located had been extinguished and looked dark, so he asked, ”did the princess to be rest so early today? It hasn't been so early before.”

”The servant is strange,” replied the housekeeper, ”but the prospective princess did sleep.”

”Where's chuaier?” Chu Zongge recalled the lights all the way back just now and felt that something was wrong. ”I didn't see chuaier when I came in. The servant can't rest so early.”

The housekeeper turned his eyes and wondered, ”the servant hasn't seen zhui'er either. He thought she went out to the lantern party tonight.”

Chu Zongge's eyes darkened and snorted coldly, ”she should have been with the young lady. How could she go out to see the lantern party? You light a lamp for me. I want to go to the West Pavilion to see the princess.”

A group of lights lit up the dark Pavilion. Chu Zongge had lightened his steps, but he still creaked on the stairs. He had never noticed that the pavilion was a little old before. It had been reborn for so many years, and the life was like running water.

Chu Zongge first attached his ears to the door and listened to the movement inside, but he didn't hear anything. Only the sound of the night wind echoing in the woods next to the pavilion. A strange flash flashed across his eyes. When he opened the door, the bright light had shone into the room. The quilt on the bed was bulging. She seemed to have fallen asleep.

Chu Zongge narrowed his eyes and asked lightly, ”Xue ronghua, why did you sleep so early tonight?”
