The scene seemed to be frozen by some kind of magic, and no one dared to look over there.
[Mission completion rate, 35%. 】The system reports diligently.
Su Yu's eyes lit up, this trick actually worked.
Chunmei taught me really well. I turned around and asked her if she had any other tricks.
When he didn't get a response, the hands on his waist tightened slightly, and his beautiful big eyes filled with confusion: "Why don't you speak?"
Zhao Ce woke up from his dream and quickly pushed Su Yu away: "You get up first."
Su Yu didn't, she threw herself into his arms harder and said aggrievedly, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Zhao Ce...Prince," she always forgot to change her words out of habit, "I really like you, do you know?"
Zhao Ce's body was a little stiff.
"Do you know?" Su Yu asked without giving up until she achieved her goal.
Everyone sighed in their hearts that she was so wild. Seeing such a weak and fragile little girl, she was so courageous.
Only Chunmei knew the truth and was about to cry.
Is this how she was taught? What about euphemism? How about moisturizing things silently? Eaten by a dog?
In the end, the maid sent by the eldest princess rescued Zhao Ce from the fire and water.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess invites you and this girl to come over."
Zhao Ce casually held down the uneasy man in his arms: "Did aunt say anything?"
The maid shook her head.
The temperature of Zhao Ce's ears gradually dropped. He thought for two seconds and said, "I know, you can go down first."
After calming down from the shock just now, Zhao Cefeng raised his eyes slightly and scanned the people present with a strong sense of oppression.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
"I don't want to hear about today's events from anywhere else."
Everyone quickly said: "Yes."
The two footsteps gradually faded away, and everyone slowly raised their heads, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and let out a long breath.
Chunmei stood there with despair and did not follow her.
She needs to calm down.
It always felt like the prince glanced in her direction before leaving.
The prince has great powers, so he might already know something.
Chunmei wants to die... No, Chunmei doesn't want to die, it's probably the prince who wants her to die.
It's early spring. It's not too cold, but it's not too warm either.
The temperature in the palm of his hand was a little cold, and Zhao Ce subconsciously tightened his grip: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Su Yu said obediently: "It's always cold."
The original owner was frail since he was a child, and his family didn't take care of him. Every winter, his hands and feet would be cold, and he would never get warm.
Zhao Ce frowned, turned around and gave an order. Not long after, the servant brought a Tang Pozi, wrapped in soft animal skin, which was very warm in his hand.
"Take it."
Su Yu took it blankly and looked up at him: "Your Majesty..."
"Um?"
"I seem to like you more and more."
The temperature that had just subsided in Zhao Ce's ears rose again.
Growing up, no one dared to offend him. Such a straightforward expression of feelings has never happened since he was enlightened. His father has many children, so little care is given to him. His mother and concubine will only let him study hard. Fight for her father's attention.
Thinking of the past, Zhao Ce calmed down.
"Who taught you to say that?"
In fact, even without asking, she would know that it was the maid next to her who instigated her.
Zhao Ce always felt that Su Yu was young and his savior. Except for the occasional shocking words, many of the offenses were harmless.
No one takes a child's words seriously.
Just thinking of that kiss, my heart still trembles uncontrollably.
Su Yu did not confess Chunmei: "No one, it's what I want to say."
Zhao Ce twitched his thin lips: "Then tell me, why do you like me?"
Chunmei also taught me this question.
Su Yu looked at him seriously: "Because you are good-looking."
"shallow."
It's just a skin.
Su Yu was confused for a moment, doubts flashed in her eyes.
Seeing that she had lost her voice, Zhao Ce glanced over and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"
Su Yu pursed her lips, raised her eyes and asked sincerely: "Zhao Ce, what does superficial mean?"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Zhao Ce spoke: "...I will hire a teacher to teach you how to read after I return home."
It takes less than a quarter of an hour to get from Taolin to the eldest princess’ courtyard.
"See you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ce was tall and had long steps. In order to accommodate Su Yu's short legs that were flapping hard, he had to slow down his steps. When he heard the servant's salute, he suddenly realized that he was in the right place.
This journey was obviously much slower than before, but Zhao Ce inexplicably felt that time passed a little faster.
"Get up."
The servants said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The maid in the eldest princess's room came out to greet her: "See you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please come this way."
Scanning Zhao Ce's face unintentionally, the maid was slightly stunned, her expression was a little subtle, and she glanced at the woman behind him without any trace.
With complicated emotions, the maid led the two people into the house.
The prince must have his reasons for doing this.
Hearing the movement of people entering the house, the eldest princess turned sideways to talk to her grandma and turned her eyes to the door.
Zhao Ce was tall, and the little girl behind him only showed half of his body. She seemed to be curious, so she quietly looked over, and was caught by the eldest princess.
The little girl immediately pulled her head back like a frightened rabbit, which made people laugh for a while.
"aunt."
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Su Yu's voice trembled slightly. She had learned how to salute from Chunmei before she came here, and she was very decent when she saluted seriously.
The eldest princess' voice was majestic and calm: "No need to be polite, just get up."
Her eyes were fixed on Su Yu for a while, and her curiosity was satisfied. Then the eldest princess Shi Shiran withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhao Ce. She was about to ask something when she was suddenly stunned.
"Cer, on your face..."
The eldest princess suddenly stopped mid-sentence and motioned to the maid to get a mirror.
"Forget it, see for yourself."
Zhao Ce paused and took the mirror, only to see a light red lip print on the corner of his lips that could not be ignored.
"..."
No wonder the servants I met along the way had such expressions.
Su Yu seemed to realize that she had gotten into trouble, and she lowered her head with a guilty conscience to avoid Zhao Ce's gaze to settle accounts with her.
Zhao Ce quickly calmed down and nodded to the eldest princess: "Aunt, I'm going to tidy up my appearance."
The eldest princess said with a smile: "Go."
Soon, Su Yu was the only one left in the room facing the eldest princess.
Seeing that the little girl seemed a little panicked, the eldest princess asked her to sit down with a calm voice, and took a sip of tea: "Listen to Ce'er, are you his savior?"
Su Yu lowered her head with a guilty conscience: "Yes, I saved Zhao...saved the prince."
The nun behind the eldest princess frowned and was about to scold her for not knowing the rules when she was held down by a pair of hands.
The eldest princess said kindly: "Don't be afraid, child, raise your head and let me have a look."
The eldest princess's voice was really kind and amiable, just like an ordinary elder. Su Yu felt less afraid and slowly raised her head.
In an instant, it was more eye-catching than the spring scenery in the garden.
"Not bad, not bad." The eldest princess said two good things in a row, with a smile in her eyes, "She is really an iconic beauty, no wonder Ce'er can beg to be in front of me."
