Time goes back to just now.
After the prince drank several glasses of wine with Fu Jinan and Lu Jiuchen, the expressions of the two people opposite him did not change, but his head was a little groggy.
In order to sober himself up and avoid falling into the ditch dug by these two people, he cleverly made an excuse and planned to go out to enjoy the breeze and go back after he had sobered up.
Walking on the street really felt a lot better.
The prince remembered his excuse when he came out, and said to the chamberlain beside him: "Xiao Xianzi, go and buy some dumplings for the princess."
Xiao Xianzi agreed, but said a little worriedly: "Your Highness, you are here by yourself..."
The prince waved his hands and sneered: "It doesn't matter. The secret guards are outside, and they don't dare to do anything at this time. Even if someone is bold, if something goes wrong, do you think the two people upstairs can run away?"
Xiao Xianzi thought about it and hurriedly went to do errands.
The prince then found a place with few people and walked around slowly.
Not far away, a pair of masters and servants also took advantage of today's bustle to go shopping and were stopping in front of a stall.
There are a dazzling array of small things on the stall table.
The leading woman is wearing a moon-white plain gauze dress, with slender shoulders and slender waist. From a distance, she looks like a fairy who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world.
The woman picked up a string of beads on the stall and looked at them carefully by the dim candlelight. The weak and boneless Rou Yi, the red beads, and the beating candlelight reflected on the woman's beautiful profile. Even if she was only seven points of beauty, it would be ten points in the eyes of others.
The little maid next to her said crisply: "Miss, this bracelet is beautiful. It's red and looks festive. Your skin is fair, so it suits you!"
The vendors set up their stalls every day, and when they meet many people, they can roughly identify each other at a glance.
Although the woman in front of him had exquisite makeup and good clothes, there was still something different in her eyes, that is, she lacked the confidence of a wealthy daughter.
Either she is the daughter of a small family, or she is the concubine of some house.
This kind of hawker is the best at watching people serve dishes, so she also flattered the maid: "This girl has such good taste! This is the treasure of a small stall. If it weren't for the Chinese Valentine's Day today, I wouldn't be willing to put it out. Woolen cloth!"
Luo Rudie glanced not far away from the corner of her eye, looked away, and asked in a brisk voice: "Boss, how much silver is this bracelet?"
The vendor rolled his eyes, stretched out a finger, and said, "See if the girl likes it, I will bear the pain and give it to you for one hundred taels!"
"What?"
The little maid next to her said in surprise: "One hundred taels for a broken bracelet? Why don't you go and grab it?"
When the vendor heard this, he raised his hand to grab the bracelet and put it on the table, with disdain in his eyes: "I bought a red coral bracelet for one hundred taels, what else do you want? If you can't afford it, don't look at it! Go away, go away! Don't stop me from doing it. Business!"
"you!"
The little maid was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Luo Rudie also looked very unhappy, but she was not as angry as the little maid. Instead, she turned her head and advised her: "Okay, okay, let's go somewhere else."
The little maid stamped her feet: "Miss! Why are you so good-tempered? It's okay to be bullied by those people at home, why should you be looked down upon by a hawker when you come out!"
Luo Rudie felt as if she had been stabbed in a painful spot, her eyes were slightly red, but she resisted the tears from falling, looking pitiful.
"I bought this bracelet."
A clear voice sounded from behind.
Luo Rudie instinctively turned her head to look.
The prince saw a pair of eyes like this: although it could not be said to be very stunning, the panic and restlessness in the eyes was like a rabbit in the forest that fell into a hunter's trap, making people unconsciously want to take it into their arms for protection.
When their eyes met, Luo Rudie was the first to react. She avoided sight in a panic and backed away. She tripped accidentally and was about to fall. A big hand suddenly appeared on her waist, and then she fell into a broad embrace. The tip of her nose was filled with the smell of ambergris, which made her head dizzy and she forgot her movements for a moment.
The prince was pleased by her appearance, smiled coquettishly, and asked concernedly: "Is the girl okay?"
Luo Rudie woke up with a start, and hurriedly withdrew from his arms, took two steps back, and saluted Shi Shiran: "Thank you so much, sir."
She has beautiful eyebrows and a graceful body.
The prince put one hand behind his back and supported her arm with the other as he stood up and turned to look at the vendor.
When the vendor saw the prince's outfit, he immediately knew that this person had an unusual identity. He nodded and bent down to wrap up the bracelet. He presented his hands in front of Luo Rudie and smiled flatteringly: "The younger one said that this bracelet is the most suitable for a girl. I changed it." Everyone else is wasting good stuff. Girl, put it away quickly."
Luo Rudie shook her head and refused.
The prince took out a piece of gold from his sleeve and threw it over: "Is it enough?"
The hawker caught it with both hands, bit it with his teeth, and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Enough! Enough! Enough! Just right! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
The prince took the bracelet, gently held Luo Rudie's right hand through his sleeve, and said, "The money has been paid, it will be wasted if you don't want it."
Wear it on Luo Rudie's wrist without any explanation.
The man's hand was big and very hot. Luo Rudie felt a little hot through her sleeves. The heat made her face redder than rouge, all the way to her neck.
The prince looked at her slender neck and his eyes darkened.
Luo Rudie struggled twice, but when she saw that he wouldn't let go, she blushed and nodded: "Thank you, sir. I will have the money delivered to your house tomorrow."
"I wonder where the young master lives?"
Luo Rudie looked at the prince innocently and asked.
The prince chuckled and shook his head: "It's just a bracelet, girls don't need to keep it in mind."
The two of them left the stall while talking.
Xiao Xianzi had already bought some dumplings and came back. He was startled when he saw a girl following the prince.
Luo Rudie also saw Xiao Xianzi, and walked a few steps to the side smartly. After the two of them finished speaking, she came over to say goodbye: "It's getting late, I should go back."
The prince nodded, pulled off a jade pendant from his waist and put it into her hand, saying, "If you have anything to do, you can go..."
"careful!"
Before the prince finished speaking, Luo Rudie shouted and pushed him away with all her strength. There was a muffled sound in her ears, and she knew nothing.
Apparently neither the prince nor Xiao Xianzi expected that the pillar next to the stall behind them would suddenly collapse.
Xiao Xianzi is good at martial arts, but in fact, if it weren't for Luo Rudie, he wouldn't have hurt the prince.
It was only because Luo Rudie's shout attracted his attention that he slowed down a step.
Seeing the girl lying on the ground with blood on her forehead, the prince looked tense. He stepped forward to pick her up and ran to the nearby medical center.
Xiao Xianzi and maid Xiu'er followed closely behind.
Fortunately, the pillar was not high, and it only broke a layer of skin when it fell. It looked scary, but in fact it didn't cause much harm.
After the doctor cleaned the wound, Luo Rudie woke up.
Seeing that he was still lying in the prince's arms, he struggled to get up.
The prince tightened his arms and said, "Don't move! The maid next to you just said that you are from the Champion House. Prince Xuan and Princess Xuan are nearby, so I will send you there alone."
