"Look at it again."
Ye Wuchen picked up a glass orb from the ground. When it was presented to Long Huang 'er, it had already broken into two uneven halves. He closed his hand, and after a while, opened it again. In his palm, there was a perfectly intact glass orb.
Long Huang 'er cried out in surprise again. She was so excited that she almost couldn't help but clap her hands. She blinked her bright eyes and eagerly said, "Is there anything more fun? I want to see, I want to see!"
That day, he was the one who cut her neck. It was very painful, and she felt a drop of blood flow out. But later on, the wound completely disappeared, and there was no trace of it being there. The young girl's curiosity was very strong. In order to know this secret, she pursed her lips and called him "big brother", but she didn't get an answer. So, she held a grudge, and wanted to bully him back. But, she fell into his hands again. At this time, even her heart was hanging by his hand, and she completely forgot that he was the "enemy" she was going to teach a lesson to.
The princess's sorrow was that she always lived in a luxurious little circle. Every day, she wandered back and forth in the same scene, repeating the same life. She was like a canary in a golden cage. What she longed for, was always novelty.
"Okay. Your father wants me to accompany you to the academy every day, so I can show you a lot of fun things. Oh … then let's go now, or we'll be late. "
"The academy?" Long Huang 'er shook her head, and with a face full of longing, she said, "I don't want to go there. Can you play with me?"
"Your father ordered me to escort you to the academy. If you don't go to the academy, then I can't accompany you. Then I'll go back first. "Ye Wuchen shrugged, and stood up helplessly, as if he was going to leave.
"Ah … you can't go! Hey! Ugh … I'll go to the academy, okay? "Afraid that this Ye Wuchen, who knew a lot of fun things, would leave, Long Huang 'er could only obediently give in.
"That's more like it. Let's go now." Ye Wuchen turned around and smiled.
"I … I'll go change my clothes first." Long Huang 'er said shyly. Then, she ran towards her room with a blush on her face. Although the water stains on her body had been evaporated by Ye Wuchen, her undergarments and her little boots were still wet.
By the time Ye Wuchen was about to warn her, it was already too late. Long Huang'er, who was jogging, kicked hard on a thin thread that was almost undetectable. He staggered, and a soft sound was heard above his head. A large bag of snow-white flour fell from the top of his head, covering Long Huang'er's body in white.
Long Huang 'er stared blankly for a few seconds before finally bursting into tears again. She had carefully prepared six traps for Ye Wuchen. She forced herself to eat four of them.
Ye Wuchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked over and patted the flour off her body. He comforted her weakly, "Alright, don't cry. You'll be late if you keep crying …"
He couldn't help but think, if he really married Long Huang'er three years later, would he marry a wife who would serve him, or would he adopt a daughter who he would have to coax and tease every day?
After tossing and turning for half a day, Long Huang 'er finally changed into a snow-white palace robe and walked out. There were still traces of tears in her eyes. Seeing Ye Wuchen, who had been waiting for her for a long time, she pursed her lips and opened her arms, "Carry me."
Ye Wuchen carefully looked at Long Huang'er, but found her serious face. He smiled and shook his head, "I can't do that. The princess can't be carried by anyone."
A dignified princess being carried out of the palace … If anyone were to see this, the entire city would probably know about it. Not even the prince consort. Because if he really did that, what would happen to the dignity of the royal family and the innocence of the princess?
"I don't want to! You clearly carried that big sister yesterday. I also want to be carried by you. "She stubbornly said. The big sister she was talking about was naturally Oculum, who she saw sleeping on Ye Wuchen's shoulder at the Yeh family. As far as she could remember, she had never been hugged by someone like that before. Her father didn't, and her mother, who passed away when she was born, didn't either.
"That's different. She is very close to me, and you are a princess."
"But, you … you're my future husband. My father said so. This princess also agreed. You must carry me! "
"No."
"If you don't … I will tell my father."
"Mm, then go and tell your father."
"You … you always bully me! If you don't carry me, I will cry for you to see. "
Long Huang 'er's tears came and went as he waved them away. Ye Wuchen had already experienced this. If she really wanted to cry, she didn't need to deliberately hold it in. The tears would fall like they were free. Ye Wuchen finally admitted defeat. He walked in front of her and said, "Fine, but only for a while, and no one else can see."
"Well … hurry and carry me, hurry and carry me!"
Long Huang 'er hurriedly agreed, afraid that he would change his mind. She stood on her tiptoes and pulled at his clothes with her small white hands. Her sparkling eyes were full of desire.
Ye Wuchen bent down and held her small butt. He lifted her up and held her in front of his chest. Long Huang 'er's body was surprisingly soft and light. It was like warm cotton in his arms.
"Are you satisfied now?" Ye Wuchen said as he gently pressed her back.
Long Huang 'er rested her head on his shoulder and enjoyed being surrounded by a wave of warmth. She didn't answer Ye Wuchen. She just lay there quietly and narrowed her eyes, searching for the feeling in her dream.
"You're really good … you will always carry me and play with me in the future, okay?" She unconsciously hugged his neck and murmured softly.
Ye Wuchen couldn't answer and could only pretend that he didn't hear her.
"No one will play with me … they are either afraid of me or ignore me. This place is very big, but I am often the only one here. My royal brothers are very busy, my sisters don't want to talk to me, and my royal father only comes to see me once in a long time. No one else is really willing to play with me either. Can you … play with me in the future? "
Ye Wuchen, "…"
"Why don't you take me outside to play? Apart from going to the academy, my royal father only allows me to go out once every six months. However, I have never left Heavenly Dragon City in my entire life. I have always wanted to go out and play … can you, take me … "
Ye Wuchen, "…"
Amidst the silence, Ye Wuchen stood there motionlessly. For a long time, Long Huang 'er also didn't make a sound. Ye Wuchen lowered his head and found that her eyes were closed. Her eyelashes moved up and down with her breathing. She had actually fallen asleep in his arms just like that.
"Another pitiful child who lacks love." Ye Wuchen sighed silently.
Thirteen years old, living in such a large palace alone. In the dead of night, was she really not afraid? In the night of thunder and lightning, who was it that gave this young girl something to rely on? Perhaps, this was the most relaxed and secure sleep she had ever had.
A person without a mother would forever be missing the most selfless and warmest love in the world. In the palace, she didn't have a mother, nor did she have siblings from the same mother. Even though she was deeply doted on by Long Yin, she could only be alone and helpless. She couldn't receive true care.
The remaining bit of blame in Ye Wuchen's heart completely disappeared. She even felt a little sorry and heartache for teasing her with her tricks. She liked to tease people to kill boredom and loneliness. Wasn't it also a way to protect herself?
Ye Wuchen walked slowly, pushed open the door, and walked into the princess room that belonged to her. Then, he gently placed her on the fragrant bed.
After staring at her quietly for a while, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"You … are not allowed to leave."
Hearing the voice, Ye Wuchen turned around and looked at the princess who had opened her eyes at some point.
"You said that you would accompany me to the academy. As long as you can accompany me, I am willing to go to the academy every day, "Long Huang 'er said. When that warm and comfortable feeling disappeared along with the sense of security, she woke up.
"Okay." Ye Wuchen smiled and carried her all the way to the door before putting her down. Then, he held her hand and walked out of the palace.
As the noblest academy in the Tenryū Province, the Sky Dragon Imperial Academy included almost every faculty that people could think of. From the most basic fist, sword, knife, bow, stab, spear, defense, magic … to the zither, chess, calligraphy, music, etiquette, art of war, finance, forging, firearms … there was everything that one could think of. Moreover, every faculty, even the most unpopular one, had a teacher who was famous in that faculty. The Sky Dragon Imperial Academy did not disappoint the Tenryū clan's attention and full support. Every year, they would send a large number of outstanding talents to the Tenryū Province. To be able to graduate from the Sky Dragon Imperial Academy was a kind of glory.
Of course, Long Huang 'er, who was sent here for the first time at the age of nine and had not even graduated from the etiquette class, would not be able to enjoy this kind of glory. The Sky Dragon Imperial Academy could not be biased towards anyone during the graduation examination, not even the royal children. This was a strict order from the Sky Dragon Emperor.
This was the second time that Ye Wuchen had set foot here, and this could be said to be the first step that he took. His stepping stone was the Lin family's Lin Xiao.
The Sky Dragon Imperial Academy was heavily guarded, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Long Yin had obviously told this place yesterday, so Ye Wuchen and Long Huang 'er could enter without any obstruction. In the past, every time Long Huang 'er came here, her face was full of reluctance, but today she was very excited. Along the way, she chattered non-stop, wanting to tell Ye Wuchen all the "interesting things" she had encountered in these years. She was not even willing to sit in a sedan chair, and just like that, she walked here with Ye Wuchen on foot.
Almost every faculty here was divided into beginner class, intermediate class, and advanced class. If there were too many students, they would be divided into beginner class 1, 2, and so on. Recently, Long Huang 'er was learning painting. This was naturally her own choice, but after the initial novelty, she almost never came here again. Even if she did, she was forced to come here by Long Yin in his spare time. And naturally, the class that Long Huang 'er brought Ye Wuchen to was the beginner class of painting.
As soon as they entered the painting room, dozens of gazes shot over, almost all of them focused on Ye Wuchen. Some were curious, some were fanatical, some were provocative, but there was no surprise. Presumably, the people here already knew that he would be escorting Flying Phoenix here, and that he would play the role of "accompanying". There were men and women, and most of them were still young. Those who could be in the beginner class were generally not very old.
