Looking at his anxious and angry look, I felt warm in my heart. In this cold and ruthless palace, there are still people who care about me and love me. This makes me happier than anything else.

"No, no one bullied me. I accidentally burned myself."

"Yourself? How did you get burned?"

I didn't want him to know about Yao Yingxue, so I made nonsense: "I accidentally slipped when I was lighting a candle last night, and the wax dripped onto my hand, and I was burned."

After hearing this, he held my hand and looked at it carefully, and said distressedly: "Why are you so careless? Is it serious? Can you still move your hand?"

I smiled happily and said: "It's not serious, don't worry, I will make delicious snacks for you in two days."

After hearing this, he showed an unhappy expression on his face and said resentfully: "I, I am not here for snacks, I am - yes -"

Seeing him hesitating and speechless for a long time, his dark face turned red, I laughed: "Okay, I know you care about me."

I gently patted the back of his hand with my injured hand and said seriously: "Thank you, Xiaowu."

Although sometimes I wish to stay away from my current life, the innocent and kind-hearted Yu'er and the frank and reckless Xiao Wu in front of me are the ones I can't bear to part with the most. If I really have to leave, maybe they will be my only concern here...

…

As for other people - as soon as I thought about it, I immediately put aside the familiar and cold figure in my mind.

He does not belong to me; and I never belong to him!

Xiao Wu looked at me, his bright eyes shining like gems, and his face turned redder. After a while, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Qingying, I came here today to think about something."

Let me ask you something."

"What happened?"

"Will you go to the banquet tomorrow night?"

I was confused for a moment. I didn’t know why he asked me this, but after thinking about it, I understood. He is His Highness’s bodyguard, and he was probably going to attend with His Highness, so he came to ask me. But I remembered what Yu’er said just now.

, Yao Yingxue even banned Yang Jinqiao, and refused to allow other concubines to attend. I am afraid that I will not be allowed to show this face.

So he smiled and said: "My hand is injured, madam won't let me go."

He breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "Well, then I'm relieved."

"What?"

"No, it's okay." He seemed to be happy again and said, "Then you take good care of yourself. I'm going back. Wait, I'll see you again after tomorrow night!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to me and ran away without looking back.

I was still a little bit unable to recover, and looking at his back walking away happily, I was also a little amused - this kid is always so reckless and clueless, which is really uneasy.

When I turned back, I saw dusk approaching in the lake next to the house. Although there was still the afterglow of the setting sun, the moon had already risen into the sky, and the faint moonlight was reflected in the water, like a brilliant snow light.

There is water in a thousand rivers and a moon in a thousand rivers...

Time passed like water, and on the night of the Bath Orchid Festival, there was still a lake like this, but the reflected moonlight was dazzling. The moon was as full as a jade basin, and the silver moonlight flowed gently on the water, revealing a hint of coolness.
