[Quick Wear] The male lead is coming to the bowl

Chapter 38: Imperial Sister 7

    "You take this letter to Shenwu Gate and have someone present it to His Majesty. This is the clue of the assassin in the enclosure a few days ago. Remember not to give it to anyone else!" Huo Zheng took out a letter and handed it to Yu Tao solemnly.

    "Okay!" Yu Tao took the letter and put it on her chest very carefully. Although she wanted to stick to the two of them as a light bulb for twelve hours, she had important things to do after all, and she had to complete the task assigned by her boss first.

    Yu Tao bowed to Huo Zheng and turned to leave.

    Huo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got rid of this unpleasant person and could talk to the princess alone.

    When Huo Zheng found the princess, Jun Yan was sitting in the pavilion with a chessboard in front of her. She held the chess book in one hand and the pieces in the other. Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly locked, studying the chess game in the book.

    "Your Highness."

    Jun Yan heard Huo Zheng's voice, but he didn't raise his head, just said: "Get up and sit down."

    "Thank you, Your Highness." Huo Zheng stood up and sat opposite Jun Yan. Looking at the chessboard in front of him, he took the initiative to ask: "Your Highness, are you studying the chess game in the chess book?"

    "As you can see." Jun Yan replied indifferently, his mind was on the book, and he didn't even give Huo Zheng a glance.

    Huo Zheng was not disappointed at all. As long as he could look at the princess quietly like this, he would be very satisfied.

    Although he knew how to play chess, he had no interest in playing chess at this time. The princess's serious and solemn look made him feel very cute. Huo Zheng's eyes fell on the princess's jade fingers holding the chess piece. The black chess piece was sandwiched between the scallion fingers as white as mutton-fat jade. The fingertips were slightly pink. The translucent nails wrapped around the pink flesh. Each shape was very perfect, tempting people to wrap it into their mouths one by one and taste it carefully.

    Huo Zheng was so thirsty that he couldn't even look away.

    "Eat if you want." Jun Yan's tone was very casual. As she spoke, she turned a page of the chess book, placed a piece on the chessboard, and picked up a white chess piece from the jade chess pot.

    Huo Zheng looked up at the princess with some surprise. There was surprise and desire in his black eyes. Could it be that the princess had already seen through his feelings? What he didn't expect was that the princess would let him do it so directly...

    Huo Zheng's face flushed slightly, and his hands were even shaking with excitement. "Your Highness, are you serious?!"

    "Of course I'm serious. These grapes originally belong to your Duke's Mansion. You don't have to be polite, my Lord." Jun Yan snorted and laughed. She had already seen Huo Zheng's face full of desire. Could it be that he thought that she, a princess of a country, would be stingy with a few grapes?

    Huo Zheng then saw the plate of grapes placed next to Jun Yan. Each grape was plump and round, still with moisture, and water droplets hung on the crystal clear grapes, which was particularly tempting.

    Although he felt disappointed, Huo Zheng still thanked the princess for the reward. He picked up the green grape absent-mindedly and watched Jun Yan playing chess for his own amusement.

    Seeing that Jun Yan had no intention of talking to him again, Huo Zheng took the initiative to invite him, "Your Highness, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival in the streets. Your Highness has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and you must have never seen the grand scene of the folk Lantern Festival, but it is quite interesting. Your Highness, do you want to go and have a look?"

    "Oh?" Jun Yan knew that there were many folk festivals, and the palace would hold palace banquets to celebrate from time to time, but she rarely participated, and spent most of her time in the palace. Huo Zheng's words immediately aroused her interest, and she said curiously, "I have only seen in travel notes that river lanterns would be released during the Lantern Festival and riddles would be guessed, but I have never seen it in person."

    Seeing that Jun Yan was really interested, Huo Zheng was excited and hurriedly said, "If your Highness is interested, I will take your Highness to see it tomorrow, okay?"

    Jun Yan naturally had no reason to refuse. In the evening of the next day, she led Yu Tao and Huo Zheng to go out of the house to have a look.

    When Yu Tao and Huo Zheng saw each other, their faces suddenly changed, and at the same time, they had the same thought in their minds: Why is he here again!

    Seeing Huo Zheng's warning eyes, Yu Tao felt very upset and regretted shooting herself in the foot. Now she couldn't explain to Huo Zheng that she didn't like the princess. Huo Zheng looked at Jun Yan's enthusiasm and obviously regarded her as a love rival.

    Yu Tao felt so jealous. Why did she fall in love with such a stupid guy? He was so smart.
