Chapter Six
The wind blew by, gently blowing the hem of Su Yining's clothes and skirts. The bright March sun hung high in the sky, and its scorching rays shone on Su Yining's body, as if giving her whole body a golden halo.
She just stood there, not moving, and she looked particularly beautiful.
She was wearing an aqua lotus skirt today, and her hair was tied into a double-knife bun that is now fashionable in Jinling City.
The spring shirt was light and thin, and when the wind blew, Su Yining's white wrists were looming.
Xie Yu stood not too far away from her, neither speaking nor leaving.
Today he also wore aquamarine straight jacket and a sachet embroidered with lotus around his waist. His hair was tied high and pinned with a white jade crown.
I don’t know if he heard what the eldest sister just said. Su Yining was blessed, saluted him, and was about to leave to find Su Yiyun.
"Did I let you go?" As soon as she turned around, Xie Yu's voice came from behind her ears, and the footsteps followed, getting closer and closer.
Su Yining still stood there, not moving, but also not looking back.
The familiar breath came by itself, and Xie Yu's unique sense of oppression hit her pervasively.
The scorching sun shone slantingly behind them, elongating their silhouettes.
In the mottled light and shadow, Su Yining lowered her head and looked at the ground. The shadows of the two of them cast on the ground by the sun overlapped, as if she was tightly held in Xie Yu's arms.
Xie Yu seemed to have noticed this, and tilted his head playfully, tilting his head towards her cheek. The two shadows on the ground seemed to be kissed together, and they were inseparable.
Su Yining subconsciously wanted to retreat. In a moment of urgency, she turned to the side without thinking. Unexpectedly, her body bumped directly into Xie Yu's chest.
"Tsk..." Xie Yu reached out and took her arm, speechless.
He was extremely tall, half a head taller than ordinary men. Even if Su Yining stood up straight, she could only reach his chin. At this moment, her body bumped into his chest, and the double-knife bun on her head was on the right side. Yi brushed against Xie Yu's cheek.
Su Yining was so frightened that she quickly backed away. Her feet went weak and she almost fell down. She was pulled by Xie Yu and she immediately threw herself into his arms.
"Huh?" Xie Yu's voice came from above her head, with a hint of smile.
"Miss Su Er, do you want to turn around?"
he teased her.
"It's a pity, I'm an unworthy man." Xie Yu said sarcastically, taking what Su Yiyun said just now.
Su Yining quickly pulled away from his arms and stood a few steps away from him: "Your Majesty, please stop joking. Please respect yourself."
For some reason, Xie Yu seemed to be in a good mood today, and his tone of voice was a bit better when he spoke, but the words he spoke were already very harsh: "Oh? Really? Are you kidding? Do you think I'm frivolous? It wasn't Miss Su Er who fell in love first. Want to give me a hug?"
"Now you remember that I am the unworthy man, so you regret it? Did you just fall into the wrong arms?"
Su Yining was ashamed and didn't know how to explain it. Her face turned red: "I didn't mean it just now."
Xie Yu didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he looked at her with raised eyebrows: "Oh? Is that intentional?"
are you crazy? Su Yining raised her eyes and met his eyes helplessly.
She couldn't avoid him and would throw herself into his arms wherever he went.
"If the prince is fine, I will leave first. The eldest sister is still waiting for me."
Su Yining turned around to leave, but Xie Yu held her arm: "Is she waiting for you? Look for yourself, she has already gone to the polo field to play polo, is she waiting for you to follow her and eat ashes?"
Su Yining struggled, broke his hand away, and pursed her lips: "Then I have to leave too. Go sit over there and wait for the eldest sister."
Xie Yu was so obedient that he let go of her and asked, "Don't you want the second girl to explain? Why did the eldest girl just say that your engagement was annulled?"
"Am I not the one whose engagement was broken off and who was abandoned in the end?"
Su Yining's heart tugged. It seemed that he had listened to all the conversation between the two of them.
"The eldest sister was already married at that time and was not at home. Maybe she mistakenly thought that I was annulled." Su Yining explained patiently.
Xie Yu didn't hesitate anymore: "Okay, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Su Yining immediately felt smoke rising from the soles of her feet and ran away very fast.
"Your Majesty is in a good mood today." The boy who had been following Xie Yu asked as he looked at Su Yining's leaving figure.
Xie Yu nodded, his tone no longer as cold as before: "What happened back then was probably not her intention."
The young man was puzzled: "But when the prince went to the Su Mansion, didn't the Su family say that the second lady refused to see you?"
Xie Yu glanced at him and confirmed that his guess was correct: "She might not be at home at that time, she might be sick, or her father wouldn't allow her to come out to see me."
Not long after returning to Jinling City, and having only met Miss Su Er a few times, his master had already opened up the knots he had felt for many years.
It is quite powerful to enlighten and persuade yourself.
Looking at Xie Yu's happy expression, the boy didn't know whether to be happy or to be negative.
Even though it was not Miss Su Er's original intention to break off the engagement, the marriage was indeed called off.
I don’t know why my master is happy here?
Is it possible that they can reunite and renew their relationship? What good things are you thinking about? Even if the prince is willing, the Su family will definitely not agree.
Even if we take a step back and say that the prince and the Su family can do it, the old lady will not be able to pass it by any means.
Thinking of this, the boy looked at Xie Yu with a little more sympathy in his eyes. The sky is noble and noble, so noble and unparalleled, so what? In essence, his master is also a poor man who cannot get love.
The two of them walked to the polo field together, the spring breeze ruffled the hem of Xie Yu's clothes, making a sound.
Xie Yu smiled at the corners of his eyes, glanced in the direction where Su Yining was sitting, and seemed to be talking to himself: "She has me in her heart. She was still ill for half a year after breaking off the engagement."
The servant stopped Xie Yu's random thoughts in time: "Could it be that Miss Su made a mistake? Is it possible that it was just a coincidence? Is it possible that the second girl is sad that the eldest son has passed away?"
Three fatal questions.
Xie Yu's good mood just now was gone.
He stood up and stood there for a long time without saying anything. His eyes looking at Su Yining became confused.
"Young man, you're just talking nonsense." When the young man saw something was wrong, he immediately changed his tone.
Xie Yu glanced at him, his heart was so confused that even his breathing was a little messed up. The painful feeling from before came back again.
"Otherwise, the prince should take an opportunity to go to the second girl and ask questions. Even a person who has committed a serious crime can go to court to defend himself? I'm not sure, it is indeed the case."
Xie Yu looked at Su Yining again, hesitant in his heart.
She was sitting in the seat of Uncle Zhongqin's house, and she didn't know what she was saying to Miss Su San next to her. Miss Su had already left the field and was galloping on the field. The horse's hooves kicked up dust. She looked towards the audience. The two sisters on the seats raised their eyebrows.
The eldest sister is arrogant, domineering and willful, but she lives the most free life.
The little sister loves to have a little temper, she can be clever, she can act silly and good, and she can live a prosperous life.
She is the only one who lives on her grandmother. Her father does not love her mother, and she is unwilling to compete with others. She lives like a transparent person in the Earl's Mansion, which always makes people feel as if she does not exist.
Everyone said that the second Miss Su had a calm and reserved temperament, which was different from the eldest sister, but only Xie Yu knew what she was like in the past.
*
The big family in Daliang loves gatherings, and the banquets are like flowing water in spring. Today his family held a polo party, and tomorrow his family held another flowing banquet, and another family held a flower-viewing banquet two days later.
In spring, when flowers bloom and everything revives, it is indeed a good time for gatherings. In addition to gatherings, there are often men and women of the same age who take this opportunity to see each other.
This time is no exception.
The Zheng family arranged for Su Yiru, the third girl of the Su family, to meet the second son of the Liu family in Hedong at the polo ground.
The place was lively and there were many people here. Even if I didn't take a fancy to him, it could be said that I happened to meet him while attending a polo match.
Su Yining was sitting on the seat of the Su family, and Su Yiru was sitting next to her, pulling her sleeves: "Second sister, I will go to the garden behind to see each other later. Second sister, why don't you go with me?" I'll go with you and help me control my eyes?"
How can anyone see the sisters going together? If you want someone to look at you, you can ask the elders in the clan to come over. What do you mean by asking a junior to come over? Su Yining shook her head and refused directly: "No, it's time for the eldest sister to end later. I'll wait for her here."
Su Yiru was deflated, looked at her angrily, and stopped talking. After a while, the old mother who was following Madam Zheng came over quietly and whispered a few words in Su Yiru's ear.
Su Yiru followed her.
If you look at each other, look at each other openly. If it doesn't work, it won't work. Why should you avoid people? If a man and a woman alone leave the banquet and go to the garden behind, doesn't it make people gossip even more?
Su Yining didn't quite agree with the actions of the eldest lady and Su Yiru, but she didn't say much.
She has always acted magnanimously, so naturally she cannot understand people who are afraid of getting their shoes and socks wet if they walk too much by the river.
Not long after, Su Yiyun won the polo match and swung the club at Su Yining while riding on the horse.
The prize of this polo match is a jade lotus hairpin.
Su Yiyun didn't like lotus flowers. She liked plum blossoms. She threw the hairpin directly into Su Yining's arms when she walked off the stage.
"Send it to you." Su Yiyun sat down magnanimously, took a sip of the tea brought by Su Yining, and pointed to the place, "Look, it's dusty, how fun it is! I heard the lottery for the next game It's a pair of gold and agate bracelets. Let me rest for a while and win them back. You and my third sister will each have one."
As he said this, Su Yiyun took off his shirt and handed it to the accompanying maid. She seemed to be in a good mood, and she sounded much better when she spoke. She was no longer the arrogant person she used to be.
But she was unable to play again later, because at the next moment, Su Yiyun saw the prince of Weibei Houfu who had been whipped by her a few days ago.
He was holding the horse and walking slowly at the other end of the polo field.
Those sitting on those little red ponies were the maids who had been seeking death and had a miscarriage a few days ago.
One of them was at the top and the other was at the bottom. I don’t know what the prince said. The maid looked at him angrily, then quickly turned away her head, covered her mouth with a red face and smiled.
The afternoon sun shone down on them, and the two looked extremely happy.
Su Yiyun's eyes stung.
She stood up and walked over there. Afraid that she would do something impulsive again, Su Yining walked over there with her.
She didn't think much about it, she was just afraid that her eldest sister would suffer the consequences of being impulsive and irritable if she went alone.
Mrs. Su often said that no matter how much the family quarrels or dislikes each other behind closed doors, it doesn't matter. Once you get outside, your fists still have to be directed outwards in unison.
