Danyang's question was naturally not to finalize a specific date.
It was just a reminder to Han Qinglan not to break his promise.
Both of them were busy with something, so they looked at each other and smiled tacitly before saying goodbye.
Of course, Han Qinglan left the same way he came. Danyang went to the inner room, briefly dressed up before going out, and leisurely went to the flower hall in the front yard where guests were entertained.
As she walked, she chuckled and looked up at the sky.
Well, it's been an hour or two, right?
Visitors to the Duke's Mansion must have been left to chance.
…
The messenger sent by Du family was her confidant maid Cui'er.
Although the last time Danyang and Du had a secret conversation, she was pushed away. But before that, Cui'er also watched with her own eyes how Princess Danyang aroused Du Shi's curiosity, and how she worked step by step to achieve her wish.
As for Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Du, they still think that Princess Danyang is still as clever as before, and are unaware of the subtle changes in her actions.
But as a person who speculates on the thoughts of noble people every day, and is able to achieve and maintain her current status, Cui'er is more keenly aware of the difference.
Therefore, even though she was left hanging in the flower hall for such a long time, she was not impatient at all.
Even from the time when the servants in the Princess's residence served her good tea and good food without asking about her identity, she actually used her "free" time to come up with some other flavors.
When she heard the faint sound of servants saluting Princess Danyang in the distance, Cui'er quickly picked her up.
Before going out, I heard what I heard from Mrs. Wu’s current right-hand man, Nanny Qin. After this moment of thinking, she had already forgotten it.
Today is different from the past. Princess Danyang is becoming more and more scheming. She doesn't want to provoke her and become cannon fodder.
Not only did Cui'er not dare to take the big one at all, but after some thought, she respectfully stood by the door and waited for Princess Danyang.
Therefore, when Danyang had just turned around from the cloister, he saw a man standing by the door of the reception hall with his hands down.
After Danyang was slightly surprised, he paused slightly and immediately turned his head. While looking at it secretly, I already had a certain guess in my mind.
But unfortunately, the posture of the visitor was too standard, and the clothes were not outstanding.
When she came outside the flower hall and heard the other party's salute, she nodded in her heart.
Sure enough, it was her.
Well, so, is God helping her?
"Princess Princess?"
Cui'er's feet slowed down slightly for a moment because of Danyang passing by her. While feeling startled, he tentatively asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just can't remember your name, but when I returned to the Duke's mansion last time, I remembered that you were waiting beside my eldest aunt, right?"
While Danyang knew what was going on, he raised his hand and waved it gently, inviting people to come in and talk.
Cui'er was flattered and even said she didn't dare after announcing her family status.
At the same time, he followed Danyang step by step and entered the house again.
But when Princess Danyang sat down and softly said "sit", she did not go to the seat where she was sitting before, and only stood two steps away from Danyang.
He was respectful in his courtesy and cautious in his words and deeds. Even Danyang could not find a single fault at this time.
Danyang looked at it and became more and more sure of his guess in his previous life, but his face became more and more calm.
"There's no need to be so formal. No one in the Duke's Mansion, or should I say in the entire capital, knows that I act willfully, don't like it, and don't abide by the rules. If you are so polite in front of me, you won't be afraid of being seen. , tell it as a joke?"
Although the words were spoken lightly, it seemed like a joke. But it was something Danyang had actually encountered in his previous life.
And those people who "told jokes" did so brazenly in front of her!
Unfortunately, at that time, she was already an unmarried phoenix. He doesn't even have the ability to protect himself, he can only bluff.
On top of that, she was unlucky enough to have just lost all her energy, so even if she kept her face expressionless, let alone retorting, it almost took away her last breath.
Fortunately, she is stubborn enough. The heartache and pain at that time became a step for her to turn around in the future, rather than the last straw that broke her back.
As expected, Princess Danyang responded to her seemingly casual chat.
After Cui'er lowered her head for a long while, she responded in a low voice with a weak voice:
"What are you talking about, Princess? Now that the Princess Mansion has got rid of the old drawbacks, it has become completely new. No one dares to talk nonsense, don't you think?"
The smile on Danyang's face became more and more obvious, and he smiled unabashedly:
"Haha, you are very good at talking. Then what kind of order do you want to convey to your eldest aunt when you come today?"
When Cui'er heard this, she was so shocked that she suddenly shivered. While looking up at Princess Danyang, she waved her hands repeatedly and said:
"The princess has misunderstood. You really misunderstood the eldest lady..."
But when she saw the smile on Danyang's face, she couldn't help but be stunned again.
The unexpected sarcasm, anger, and even the slight boredom and boredom that usually appeared in the corners of Princess Danyang's eyes and brows had completely disappeared at this moment.
If she hadn't been in the princess's mansion at this time, and she had listened to the servants calling the princess outside, she would have appeared in front of her. Cui'er couldn't believe that the person standing so close to her was the innocent and wanton little princess who had met during the Chinese New Year two or three months ago!
Now, that fair and tender face not only lacks any trace of childishness, but also has sharp eyebrows and eyes. Cui'er felt that it was even worse than that of her master.
Not to mention, the sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts made her feel a chill down her back and shudder.
When Danyang saw that he was frightening the person in front of him, he smiled and turned his Danfeng eyes, which were not fully opened, into a little crescent moon.
At the same time, he was very approachable and said kindly:
"Since you are so smart, you must have some ideas of your own, right? Tell me and relieve my boredom?"
Cui'er thought for a moment that she had misheard. She stared at Princess Danyang in front of her with wide eyes for a long time, but she heard another urging with the same meaning.
This time, she was so shocked that her mouth opened wide and her chin almost dropped to the ground.
She, she just didn't want to cause trouble for herself, how could such a huge piece of pie suddenly fall from the sky? !
But when Cui'er was stunned with shock, Danyang had no choice but to pour himself a cup of tea while leisurely waiting for the other party's answer.
At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
At this time in her previous life, there were obviously many opportunities around her, and she was not not smart and keen enough. Why couldn't she find a way out for herself and her mother?
Or is this the fundamental difference between intentional and unintentional?
Or maybe she talks about not caring about the rules and regulations, but actually she has already taken root in her heart? Reluctant to take a step forward, complacent about looking at things from outside the box?
