Xia Ziyu and the eldest princess are considered relatives of the emperor, and their chats are nothing more than gossiping about their parents' affairs.
After the greetings, Xia Ziyu knew that the eldest princess had something else to do with him, but she didn't say it explicitly.
Xia Ziyu coaxed her with some sweet words and then found an excuse to leave. First, she met a person by the small pond. She didn't know which family's daughter she was.
His sharp eyes saw that the dress she was wearing to the party was an old dress.
She had the nerve to stop him and offer to make a deal with him.
Xia Ziyu started casually, but as he listened, he put away his contemptuous expression, and finally looked deeply at the girl in front of him who was not from a good background but exuded an aura of tenacity all over his body.
During the conversation with her, he already knew that she came from the down-and-out prince's mansion and was the unpopular daughter of the prince's mansion.
To show her sincerity, she took the initiative to take his poison.
Xia Ziyu chuckled.
How did she know these things? Murderous intent arose in his heart to see if her use value was high or not...
With a smile on his face, he didn't go far and met a second woman. This was the sister-in-law of the one just now. She was in a panic, and her eyes lit up when she saw Xia Ziyu.
Falling at his feet, grabbing the corners of his clothes like a life-saving straw, talking nonsense.
"Your Majesty, I know something. I have a deal to discuss with you..."
Another one?
Xia Ziyu narrowed his eyes.
If one person knows, he has to consider the exploitable value, but if two people know, he suspects there is a traitor inside? !
Both of these people are from the Hou Mansion.
Hou Mansion? !
Xia Ziyu opened her jaw and gave her a portion of the poison he had just given to the woman.
He threatened her, "If you dare to say one more word, I will kill you immediately."
She shut up immediately. She looked crazy, but she was actually afraid of death.
Xia Ziyu was angry. He wanted the secret guards to keep an eye on the Hou Mansion!
Staying away from the daughter-in-law of the Hou Mansion, she was stopped again not long after walking on the corridor.
He lowered his eyes and saw, isn't this the princess?
What are you doing to come to him?
His doubts did not last long in his mind, and he knew what the princess was going to do as soon as she spoke.
She said to him, "Your Majesty, I know that you are being urged by the Duke to get married, and you don't like the constraints of marriage. Why don't you marry me."
"I won't care what you do outside after we get married."
Xia Ziyu raised his eyebrows. He didn't know how many times he had heard such words. When those women said this before, the admiration in their eyes was hidden.
Although the person in front of her didn't know if it was a good reason to hide it, he couldn't see any love, but she couldn't hide the imperative in her eyes. Did she think he was an idiot?
"Get lost." He was very impatient today. He was not a gentleman, so he would not give her any face.
The little princess looked shocked, as if she didn't understand that someone who was so generous and indulgent to a woman would say such a thing.
She was a little reluctant, "Your Majesty! I have many advantages!"
Xia Ziyu remained unmoved and continued walking forward.
She stopped Xia Ziyu and simply said a big move, "I know you..."
Xia Ziyu's face suddenly changed when he heard her words, his dark eyes darkened, and he stopped for a moment. When he turned around, the emotion on his face had dissipated, revealing a frivolous and charming smile, "Princess, let's talk..."
crazy!
Are there so many holes in their plan? Do two women in the boudoir know about it? !
Xia Ziyu took a deep breath. Fortunately, he still had a precious poison he brought back from the Miao border that could make people shut up and make them miserable.
Let him listen briefly, what does this princess have to say?
…
At the other end of the garden, Shen Lianqing and Cui Lan were walking slowly. As a wife, Cui Lan couldn't help but recite a few poems from time to time in front of the colorful flowers in the garden.
As a professional cheerleader, Shen Lianqing was very flattered and boasted after he finished reading, "Master is worthy of being a master. This poem came out of your mouth. You are really talented."
Cui Lan opened the very beautiful flowers with her fingers, feeling refreshed and said, "Miss Peony, this is Li Bai's Qingping tune, not a poem written by me."
Shen Lianqing was not embarrassed at all. She instead boasted, "Then you read it well, sir. Your voice matches this poem so well! I felt like I was immersed in this color when I heard it!"
"Hahaha--"
Cui Lan almost surrendered to her attack. He sat next to a stone table in the garden, took out a folding fan from somewhere and knocked on his forehead. His eyes burst into tears with laughter, "No, Miss Peony. So funny!"
What's interesting?
Shen Lianqing sat next to him and stared at him for a while. Cui Lan, who was so fascinated by the stare, smiled that he couldn't laugh anymore. He coughed because he just laughed too much and his face turned red. A boiled dead pig.
"Ahem, cough, cough." Cui Lan turned away, "Don't look at me like that, Miss Peony."
Shen Lianqing continued to stare at him with interest, "Sir, are you shy?"
Cui Lan was helpless, that's not the case, even for a man of his age, it would always be a bit uncomfortable to be looked at by a little girl like this.
You can't say this to her either.
He couldn't help but change the subject, "We've been out for a while, why not go back? Maybe Xing Shen has gone back too."
"Uh-huh."
"Master!"
A young man hurriedly ran up the path where the two came. He was dressed in green clothes and had a ruddy complexion.
"Wei Ming?" Cui Lan turned around and saw the panting Liu Wei Ming, and was a little curious, "What are you doing with me?"
"No, no... I just saw you and wanted to say hello to you."
After saying that, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Shen Lianqing beside him, and his face turned red again and again.
In fact, he lied. He saw the girl he met on the Chinese Valentine's Day from a distance, following him to the garden. He thought for a long time before daring to take a step out.
His movements were not small, and Cui Lan naturally saw them. Has this student who only focused on reading sages enlightened him? But it’s not good for him to like someone. If he likes someone...
He raised his eyebrows and asked him to sit down on the side.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Oh, you're welcome, this stone bench isn't mine anyway."
Liu Qingran had long been accustomed to his style. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down carefully, and pretended to glance at Shen Lianqing casually. When he saw her looking at him, he lowered his head.
Shen Lianqing held her chin with her hands and opened her eyes to look at the young master she met on Qixi Festival.
Cui Lan looked at the two of them and said nothing.
Cui Lan was the senior one here. He didn't speak, so Shen Lianqing could only keep looking at Liu Qingran.
Liu Qingran couldn't stand this atmosphere at first. He swallowed and mustered up the courage to stare straight back at Shen Lianqing. But for some reason, when he saw her, he couldn't help but his heart beat wildly, and he couldn't say a word on his lips. Unable to speak.
"Oh, what are you doing!" Cui Lan fanned, and when they looked at him at the same time, he reached out and hit them all on the forehead, "Introduction, don't you want to get to know each other?"
