he takes a liking to Xiao Yuge, for the sake of peace between the two countries, the Emperor will definitely arrange a marriage between them. At that time, Your Highness won’t be able to do anything...Of course, if Ge'er doesn't mind, we can go to the bamboo forest together. I'll personally make some delicious food for you. 。"You did this yourself" Xiao Yuge's words left her mouth before she realized the impropriety. She quickly apologized, "That, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I was just surprised. You, a prince, actually cook" 。" It's not surprising that the prince can cook. Qian Tingxuan can cook all sorts of things. 。Of course, she didn't know that in order to make her favorite dish, Qian Tingxuan had gone through a lot of trouble. 。"Silly child, I only have a broken leg, not a broken arm. Of course I can still do..." 。To his surprise, Qian Yi'an didn't care about her words at all. Instead, he was full of energy and excitement, with a gleam in his eyes. 。"Alright, I'll go with you. Consider it a celebration." 。Xiao Yuge happily went. 。It's been a while since I last came to the bamboo forest. It's still just as it was before, with lush greenery all around. Being here feels like a tranquil fairyland. However, the yard used to be filled with her paintings, but now there isn't a single one left. Seeing an unfinished painting nearby, she couldn't help but furrow her brow. 。"Ge'er, I'm sorry..." Qian Yi'an suddenly apologized to her, tremblingly reaching out to take the half-burned painting... 。Xiao Yu Ge only then noticed that there seemed to be a large, red swollen patch on his hand, as if he had been burned. 。"Your hand, Your Highness" 。"Qian Yi an merely shook her head faintly, looking wistfully at the paintings reduced to ashes: 'It's a pity so many paintings are gone...' " "This is all thanks to Xian Wangfei..." Lian Xin chimed in from the side, unable to contain her anger. 。" Lianxin!" Qian Yi'an stopped her, preventing her from speaking. 。"My lord, you wouldn't let me say it before, but today I must tell Miss Xiao." 。"Lianxin had become stubborn, seemingly ignoring even her master's words: 'Xiao Miss, the prince had been painting your portraits recently. He said he would wait until it warmed up and find an opportunity to send them out of the palace to you. But just now, the Princess Consort arrived. She not only scolded the prince but also scolded Xiao Miss you, and in a fit of anger, burned all the paintings the prince had made recently. The prince tried to save those paintings and ended up getting his hand burned by the fire...""You really are something else! Those paintings were burned, so just repaint them. Why did you have to snatch them" Xiao Yuge hurriedly crouched down and picked up his hand, examining the burn wound 。"That painting is you..." Qian Yi said softly. 。"It's me, you shouldn't go grab it with your bare hands either. I'm not here, what are you drawing Just look at me." 。” Then Qian Yi'an didn't reply, he just silently watched her anxious expression. He had never paid this much attention to someone before, never had. She was the first and only one! Lianxin added from the side: “Your Highness usually cherishes those paintings, carefully wiping them every day, and doesn’t even let the maidservants touch them, saying that they are afraid of us not being careful enough. Your Highness also said that Miss Xiao is the most beautiful and kind person in the world, and she can't bear any dust..." "Lianxin!" Qian Yi'an's fair face flushed red, he didn't dare to look at Xiao Yuge: “Ge’er, Lianxin is exaggerating a bit, don't take it to heart...” 。" What is this, you should thank me for thinking so highly of me" 。"Fortunately, Xiao Yuge was focused on examining his wounds and didn't listen carefully to what they were saying: "How did so many blisters all get broken This isn't good, we need to apply medicine, otherwise, it's very easy to get infected" 。"I need to use wine to clean your wounds again, it hurts a little, bear with me." 。Xiao Yu sang a soft song as she took the wine and cotton cloth from Qing Luo's hand, carefully cleaning his wounds. 。"I've gone through worse, this is nothing." 。 。Xiao Yuge felt very sympathetic towards him in her heart. She thought he was as pitiful as she was in her previous life. Besides, his biological mother had been sent to the cold palace, and she had also played a part in it. Therefore, she always felt guilty towards him. This guilt would always be magnified when he was hurt, so she always wanted to make up for something. 。The liquor drenched his wounds, even though the pain caused him to tremble uncontrollably, his face remained so calm, so placid as if it weren't his hand at all. 。Xiao Yu Ge thought to herself: This must have been caused by so much pain, that they would be so enduring. 。Just like her, she had endured that agonizing pain in her past life. Starting anew, it seemed as if no pain mattered anymore. 。Half an hour later 。"Alright, finally the medicine is on. Remember not to get it wet before it's healed, change it twice a day, and after it scabs over and falls off, come back and I'll give you some scar removal cream. Don't worry, with my medicine, your hand will be as white and smooth as before." 。"

Qian Yi smiled softly: "I'm a man, it's okay to have scars on my hands ." 。Your hands are so long and white, they're really beautiful. You don't know it, but the way you hold a paintbrush is just amazing. Such hands shouldn't have any scars. 。Xiao Yuge sang softly as she carefully bandaged him. 。Her words, however, added a strange hue to Qian Yi'an's eyes. 。"No one has ever praised me like this before..." A hint of shyness appeared on her fair face. 。"That's because they haven't discovered Your Highness's good qualities. Now that the Emperor has entrusted Your Highness with important responsibilities, in time, Your Highness will surely gain the Emperor's favor. Therefore, you must cherish yourself." 。"Song'er, do you really think I can" Qian Yi'an's piercing gaze locked onto her. 。Of course, I never doubted your abilities. 。But when the time comes, Your Highness will be in a high position. Remember me then, hmm—when that happens, make me a meal yourself, Your Highness! 。Xiao Yu sang playfully winked at him with her beautiful eyes. 。That goes without saying. 。"Qian Yi gazed at her with a smile as bright as the flowers, silently saying in his heart: 'Someday, when I ascend to power, I hope she will be by my side!'

“Your Highness, Zhang Taishou requests an audience!” someone reported. "

Qian Yi'an pursed her lips, knowing that Zhang Taishou came here at this time must be about Zhang Yan's matter. 。"Your Highness, since you have guests, I shall take my leave." 。Remember to apply the medicine. 。Xiao Yu Ge didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, so she got up and said goodbye. 。 "Good" 。"Qian Yi'an desperately wanted to keep her, but now wasn't the time. So he could only watch helplessly as she left the bamboo forest." 。"Your Highness..." he hurried over and 。Thousand Ease lowered her head to look at the hand that Xiao Yuge had bandaged. She gently stroked it and, without raising her head, ordered, "Take Zhang Taishou to see that poison woman! Order the imperial physician not to let her recover too quickly." 。If not for the poisonous woman still having some effect on him, he would have died countless times by now. 。"This servant understands." 。" Lianxin is his confidant, of course understanding his meaning." 。 Qi fall in love with her for revenge."What's going on Tell me!""I..." Xiao Yuge was momentarily speechless."Nothing to say, is there I know you don't love him, but you know he loves you. You just won...
