Lian Suisui handed the handkerchief to Song Xiaolan.
"Just wipe it. I believe you didn't mean it. Miss Guo Er didn't make things difficult for you. Find a place to sit down first."
"None of them want to sit with me..."
Song Xiaolan took the Sui-year-old handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, looking around timidly.
"Then come and sit with me. I have room over there."
Chu Zhiyi waved to Lian Suisui.
"Try the Poria cocos cake newly made in the kitchen."
Lian Suisui was a little hungry, so she sat down to eat a piece, and Chu Zhiyi helped her pour water.
One of them was doing it smoothly, and the other was enjoying it with peace of mind.
Song Xiaolan looked at her enviously.
"Your Majesty is so kind to cousin Suisui."
Lian Suisui brought the plate to her.
"You eat too."
"Cousin Jiyue is also in Chunyuan. I will take you to find her later."
Song Xiaolan thanked her, glanced at Chu Zhiyi, lowered her head and took a small bite of the pastry.
The competition on the field was tense, Lian Suisui was leaning on the railing and watching in wonder. King Yun had plotted against her, and King Cheng was even more annoying to her.
Her eyes searched around and landed on Chu Jing'an. The young man's youthful vitality was enviable, and Sui Sui, who had already begun to maintain his health, felt inferior to him.
"Hey, your mouth is watering! Don't forget that you are engaged!"
Guo Ningyun, who came back after changing clothes, blocked her view through the railing.
Lian Suisui glanced at the people on the field, then looked at Guo Ningyun, whose ears were red, and joked: "So Miss Guo Er likes the Eleventh Prince! I think you two are a good match."
The Guo family has already given birth to a princess. I don’t know if she can get her wish.
Unexpectedly, Guo Ningyun became even more angry, and said angrily: "Mind your own business!"
Lian Suisui is innocent.
"Second sister!"
Guo Jing appeared behind Guo Ningyun.
"I'm going to make a convenience!"
Not sure if Guo Jing could still recognize her now, Lian Suisui found an excuse to leave the scene.
Guo Jing caught up and looked in the direction Lian Suisui left.
"Second sister, who were you talking to just now?"
"Why do I feel that the woman's back looks a bit familiar?"
Guo Ningyun poked his forehead with her finger.
"I'm warning you, stay away from Liansui Sui, lest you get entangled with her and get into trouble!"
"Miss Liansan..."
Guo Jing shivered.
"Second sister, please don't lie to me. Lian Suisui is as fat as a pig. That... doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it!"
Guo Jing's impression of Lian Suisui was still in the past. As a leader among the dandies in the capital, Lian Suisui's reputation could only be compared with his.
"As long as it's a male, she'll like it! I'm different, I'm not interested in sows."
Guo Jing's words were merciless, and Guo Ningyun couldn't help laughing. She originally wanted to make a joke, but when she raised her head and met Chu Zhiyi's eyes, she felt numb. She was afraid that her brother would say something more outrageous and annoy the Ninth Prince, so she hurriedly pulled him away. his clothes.
"Is the next game going to be yours? Get ready..."
"I can leave on my own, second sister, why are you pulling on me..."
Lian Suisui was not around, and Chu Zhiyi looked at the scene expressionlessly. Song Xiaolan saw that the tea in front of him was getting cold, so she made a cup of tea and brought it over.
"Your Majesty, drink tea."
Shuying stopped her three steps away.
"Just give it to me."
Song Xiaolan's eyes flashed, and she timidly replied "Hello", but before Shuying could catch up, her foot slipped and the tea cup was knocked over. The tea splashed everywhere, and Chu Zhiyi's sleeves were stained with tea stains.
Shuying was stunned for a moment.
Song Xiaolan hurriedly took out her handkerchief and squatted down in front of Chu Zhiyi.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it! Let me wipe it for you!"
Without permission, she picked up Chu Zhiyi's sleeve and began to wipe it.
Shuying was soaked with tea and apologized in a panic.
"This subordinate is negligent, please punish me, Master."
Chu Zhiyi pulled back his sleeves and said with a calm expression: "Miss Guo Er is right. Miss Song is really careless and unsuitable for such a job of serving others."
Song Xiaolan's face was red with embarrassment, and her lowered eyes were filled with moisture.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."
She didn't look bad, and she knew how to use her own advantages, but Chu Zhiyi didn't take advantage of her. He raised his hand to lift her chin, with a faint smile on his lips, which made Song Xiaolan ecstatic.
"Don't do such little tricks in front of me. I don't mind sending you to Chunyu Tower to pick up guests."
The force on his hand was so heavy that Song Xiaolan felt that her jaw was about to be crushed, and there was panic in her eyes.
"roll!"
Guo Ningyun, who had noticed the movement here for a long time, pursed her lips, and then laughed happily. If Lian Suisui knew that the little sheep she rescued was thinking about her fiancé, I wonder what her expression would be!
"Uncle Nine!"
Chu Jing'an jumped over with one hand on the railing and saw Song Xiaolan's face was red and there were tears in her eyes.
"What's going on? This lady is..."
The frail beauty was shy and frightened, which made people feel distressed.
Chu Zhiyi did not introduce him, so Song Xiaolan boldly introduced herself.
"My name is Song Xiaolan, and cousin Suisui asked me to come over..."
Talk only half the time.
"It turns out she is Aunt Ninth's cousin!" Chu Jing'an asked with interest, "Song family, are you from the Shouchang Hou Mansion? Are you the second eldest child in the family?"
Everyone in the court knows that Song Jingwei, the legitimate son of the Song family, has a biological sister. Could it be that she is the one in front of her?
Song Xiaolan's eyes were dark.
"I'm the third in line. My cousin Sui Sui said that my second sister is also in Chunyuan. I couldn't find her, so I had no choice but to trouble my cousin."
Concubine...
Chu Jing'an's interest faded a bit.
"Uncle Ninth, I performed well just now! I scored nineteen goals! Neither my second brother nor my third brother scored as many goals as me!"
He ran to claim credit from Chu Zhiyi. Song Xiaolan stood awkwardly for a while, then returned to his seat and sat down, not daring to speak again.
Two games were played in a row, and the players from both sides of the third game had already entered the stage, and the new year was long overdue.
Chu Jing'an and Chu Zhiyi were talking to each other, but no one paid any attention to Song Xiaolan.
"Third cousin, let me take you to find cousin Jiyue."
Even if she was embarrassed by Chu Zhiyi, Song Xiaolan was reluctant to leave and refused to reply.
Even Suisui thought she didn't want to trouble him.
"I asked my servant just now. Cousin Jiyue is in Xinyage. The location over there is more suitable for watching football."
Song Xiaolan said in a mosquito-like voice: "Sorry, cousin."
"It's no trouble. There are many people here and it's not convenient for you as a girl. I'll take you there."
Song Xiaolan followed Lian Suisui obediently, and Lian Suisui greeted Chu Zhiyi.
"Cousin, I can do it by myself."
Lian Suisui took her for a while, and the noise became farther and farther away. After another turn, she left the polo field completely. She was a little unwilling to do so.
The people her mother met for her second sister were either dignitaries or people with real power in the court, while the people her mother met were all poor scholars. They are both daughters of the Song family, why can't she marry into a powerful family?
The contrast in the attitude of the eleventh prince made her feel embarrassed and annoyed. She was a concubine, but she considered herself no weaker than her eldest sister. Why should she be treated like that?
"It's just a few steps away. What if we meet someone as arrogant as Miss Guo Er again? I just want to go find my cousins. If you come with me, you don't have to worry about getting into trouble."
"Cousin, won't you go back to the Ninth Prince?"
She was jealous that even Suisui was pampered by the Ninth Prince. Even Suisui with such a bad reputation could marry into the royal family. Why couldn't she?
