At the junction of the back garden and the front yard, Su Yu was waiting beside the rockery, holding something in her hand with a nervous and nervous expression.
She looked towards the end of the road from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
After a long time, I finally saw a figure.
The man's steps were hurried and his expression was angry. He stopped shaking the folding fan in his hand and held it tightly in his palm, as if he was going to crush someone's bones.
"What does Cui Hanzhang have to be proud of? He is just a minister, but he dares to steal people from me?"
The attendant smiled flatteringly: "That's right, Your Highness, you are the prince. Even Mr. Cui praises you very much. As long as that girl is not blind, she will definitely choose you. It's just that Mr. Cui has a deep mind and deceived her. Wait. When she wakes up, she will definitely be extremely upset, and it won’t be too late for His Highness to come forward when the time comes.”
These words completely touched the heart of the eldest prince.
The eldest prince glanced at him: "Okay, stop being so glib."
The attendant screamed that he was wronged: "Your Highness, this little man is so glib. What he said is all the truth. In my heart, no matter Cui Hanzhang or Li Hanzhang, they are not as good as your Highness."
The eldest prince raised the corner of his mouth and flicked the folding fan away: "Okay, save some energy and go back to collect the reward."
The entourage was excited: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
Suddenly, the entourage's excited voice stopped, pointing to the figure pacing back and forth on the rockery not far away, "Your Highness, isn't that the girl just now?"
The eldest prince then looked over and raised his eyebrows: "It's true."
"Come on, come with me and take a look."
The angry expression on the eldest prince's face disappeared. He raised his folding fan again and approached Su Yu slowly and gracefully.
The woman was holding something in her hand, muttering something in her mouth, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching her eyebrows, wondering what she was thinking about.
After a moment, she sighed and continued to look up at the end of the road... When Leng Buding saw the eldest prince, his body trembled, obviously startled by the person who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Su Yu was stunned: "Your Highness..."
"Miss Su?" The eldest prince looked her up and down, his tone not as close as before, "Didn't you say someone is looking for you? What are you doing here?"
The eldest prince was still feeling angry. Su Yu had lost a lot of face by choosing Cui Ling over him, and his attitude was lukewarm at this time.
Su Yu was sensitive, biting her lip and looking at him timidly: "Your Highness, are you angry?"
The eldest prince sneered: "Why am I angry?"
Su Yu came closer and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, don't be angry. I learned from Zitong after I left that my aunt didn't send anyone to find me, and it's hard to go back. I can only wait here to apologize to Your Highness."
After saying that, he showed the thing in his hand.
The woman looked shy: "This is the purse I made with my own hands. I thanked Your Highness for guiding me during the flower viewing party last time. I know His Highness is lacking for everything, but...but this purse is my heart. I hope Your Highness will not dislike it."
The eldest prince looked at the thing in her hand.
After a few breaths, he put away the folding fan in his hand and reached out to pick up his purse.
The ocher purse was embroidered with a flying Kunpeng, which was majestic and seemed to contain the best wishes. It looked even better than those embroidered by the embroiderers in the palace.
The eldest prince glanced at it first, and then turned it over and over again.
"Not bad."
The embroidery is really good, especially the Kunpeng, which spreads its wings and soars high. It seems that the eldest prince can see through this purse a scene of himself standing above tens of thousands of people in the future.
"Miss Su has superb embroidery skills and her embroidery is really good."
He said three good things in a row, which showed that he was very satisfied.
Su Yu's cheeks were slightly red: "As long as Your Highness likes it."
Looking at the blushing woman in front of him, the eldest prince's thoughts moved slightly and he couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if Miss Su is married?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat: "N-never married."
She seemed to have guessed what the eldest prince was going to say next, and she could hear the beating of her heart in her ears.
The eldest prince gave a romantic smile: "This is easy to handle."
Su Yu held back the beating of her heart and raised her head in confusion.
I could see the frivolous brows and eyes of the eldest prince showing some affection: "Since the last flower viewing party, I have often dreamed of Miss Su. It was not until this moment that I realized that my heart is in love with Miss Su."
Su Yu looked stunned.
The eldest prince pretending to be affectionate is still very bluffing: "I wonder if Miss Su is willing to enter my mansion? Although I cannot give Miss Su the position of my wife, I guarantee that in the prince's mansion, no one can exceed your favor, no matter it is Now or later.”
"What do you think, Miss Su?"
Su Yu didn't believe a word of the eldest prince's words.
Huang Guizhou is used to saying such beautiful words to coax women these days. He doesn't have to do whatever he wants when he enters his house. Maybe he has said this to every concubine.
But there is no doubt that this is exactly what she and her aunt planned.
Su Yu's heart was beating fast, as if she had been frightened, and she stammered: "Your Highness, I, I..."
The eldest prince doesn't want the answer now.
He said considerately: "It doesn't matter. Miss Su will think about it after she goes back. It won't be too late to give me an answer later."
After saying that, he was in a very good mood and walked away swinging his folding fan.
It wasn't until the eldest prince turned the corner and left that Su Yu slowly put away the shyness on her face.
Good, the scapegoat is very self-aware.
Su Yu hummed and walked to the other side, still not heading back to Su Yanyun.
System: [Host, where are you going? 】
Su Yu's voice was brisk: [Of course I went to my dear cousin to express my gratitude. 】
She had just said goodbye to the eldest prince, and now she was going to meet the male protagonist without stopping.
The system was silent for two seconds and said faintly: [Host, your balance must be very good. 】
Su Yu: [How to say? 】
System: [The bowl of water is held flat and not tilted at all. 】
Su Yu: [……]
She temporarily interpreted the system's words as a compliment.
It was easy to find the male protagonist. Go directly to his courtyard. After Baishan informed her, he led her to the study.
Cui Ling was sitting in front of the desk, looking through a pile of cases in front of him.
Su Yu stepped forward, looking hesitant, not knowing whether to disturb him or not.
Cui Ling put down the file: "Bai Shan said you had something to do with me."
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then raised a smile and said in a brisk voice, "I came here to thank my cousin."
"Thank me?"
Su Yu nodded: "Thank you, cousin, for helping me escape from the eldest prince. Zitong has told me that it was not my aunt who asked for me, but Baishan who asked her to go."
Cui Ling's expression was visibly gentle. Sometimes, what he was afraid of was not how troublesome it would be to help, but that he thought he was kind and others would not appreciate it.
"But, will doing this bring trouble to my cousin? The eldest prince..." Su Yu was worried.
"No, you don't have to worry about this."
Seeing what he said, Su Yu was relieved and her eyes curled up: "I listen to my cousin."
A very trusting gesture.
Cui Ling was startled for a moment, then lowered his eyes. The morning purse was still in his sleeves, feeling slightly hot due to the warmth of his body.
