"Your Highness, Miss Shang sent you a wedding gift, and she wrote a special letter saying that it must be delivered to you."
Mo Rongyan hummed slightly, looked at the phoenix crown on Su Ruotang's head, and frowned slightly, "Are you tired?"
"Ah?" Su Ruotang's eyes fell on the box in Shen Shi's hand, and he didn't react for a moment.
Mo Ronyan followed her gaze, the warmth in his eyes dissipated, and said in an indifferent voice, "Put it aside."
Shen Shi immediately put the box on the table, as neatly as if he were putting a hot potato.
Miss Shang and His Highness were childhood sweethearts. If Miss Su Er hadn't ruined His Highness in the hot spring, she would probably not be the third prince's concubine.
But he couldn't figure out why His Highness wanted to marry Miss Su Er?
Could this be the so-called love born out of hatred in the painting book that Shen Fei read?
Mo Rongyan looked at her fair forehead and the faint red mark pressed by the phoenix crown, frowned and looked at Qing Wan, "Untie the phoenix crown for your lady."
"No!" Su Ruotang said quickly, changing the subject, "Aren't you going to open the gift?"
Aunt Bu might come over soon. She is a virtuous and virtuous third prince's concubine, and her image cannot be ruined.
Mo Ronyan raised his eyebrows: "You want to see it?"
Su Ruotang pursed her lips, turned her head away, ignored the faint discomfort in her heart, and said in a jealous tone, "My childhood sweetheart gave you a gift on your wedding day. This deep relationship is really enviable."
She deliberately emphasized the word "deep", and her soft voice was like silk drawn on a summer day, seducing people's hearts.
Mo Rongyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, half-smiling but not smiling, "Is the princess jealous?"
"You're the one who's jealous!" Su Ruotang glared at him angrily, as if he had been guessed about his intentions.
That posture is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.
A faint smile bloomed in Mo Ronyan's eyes, and he stopped teasing her, "I'll go greet the guests first. If you're tired, take off your crown. Eat something and rest. You don't have to wait for me."
Su Ruotang's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, the blood on her cheeks faded a bit, she lowered her eyes and let out a faint sigh.
Mo Ronyan told Qing Wan: "Take good care of your little one...take good care of the prince and concubine. If you need anything, just ask Shen Shi."
Having said this, he paused and looked at the box on the table, "If you are curious, you can open it and take a look."
"Yes, Your Highness." He responded softly and respectfully.
Until Mo Rongyan's figure completely disappeared, Su Ruotang didn't even raise his eyes, he kept lowering his eyes and pinching the jade rabbit on his bracelet.
The edges of the fingertips were faintly glowing with white due to exertion.
He gently walked forward and closed the door, and said distressedly: "Your Highness, it's true that today is your wedding day, but you still accept gifts from your childhood sweetheart."
Su Ruotang's long eyelashes trembled, covering up the strange feeling of congestion in her heart. She raised her eyes and looked at Qingwan pitifully, "I'm hungry."
Qingwan brought two plates of pastries over without hesitation: "Miss, do you need to take off the phoenix crown?"
Anyway, the third prince did not treat the young lady as a princess, and he was not even willing to drink wine with the young lady.
They don't have to follow etiquette either.
Su Ruotang took off her veil, her eyes fell on the two jade cups next to the red candle, and she hummed softly.
Little red wax drops slowly slid down the candle body, like drops of blood and tears.
Su Ruotang lowered his eyes, took the mahogany box and opened it.
The dog man said she could open it, and Shang Ruyan said it was a wedding gift for the dog man. She was his wife, so she was qualified to open it.
Inside the box is a wood-carved fox hairpin.
The little fox with a hairpin is so vivid.
Under the hairpin, there was a note.
[If you marry her, you will protect her throughout your life. 】
[Rong Yan, I wish you a happy wedding. 】
Qingwan said doubtfully: "Miss Shang, is this your sincere congratulations?"
Su Ruotang looked at it quietly for a moment, then suddenly laughed and covered the box.
A man gives a woman a hairpin to express his love.
Shang Ruyan told her in this way that the childhood friendship between her and Mo Ronyan could not be compared to her intrusion.
If what she expected was true, the first sentence on the note was probably what Mo Rongyan said to Shang Ruyan when he was a child.
Marry her as your wife and protect her throughout her life...
She began to wonder if Mo Ronyan really suffered from affective deficit disorder.
Otherwise, how could you say such a thing?
Pushing the box aside, Su Ruotang picked up a piece of pastry with a small fork and took a small bite.
When the pastry entered her mouth, her expression changed slightly, and she lowered her eyes and glanced at the pastry that was missing a small piece.
He put the pastry back calmly, making a small sound when the fork collided with the plate.
"Take it gently and ask someone to prepare hot water. I want to take a bath."
Su Ruotang stood up with a cold expression.
The flawless profile is like delicate porcelain soaked in frost.
The next moment, she took out a small jade fox from her sleeve.
The delicate white fingertips released their strength, and the little fox rolled down on the red carpet, making a dull sound.
Immediately, she turned to look at the bronze mirror, and looked into the calm, unruffled eyes of the girl in the mirror for a moment.
In the mirror, the beauty's skin is as white as snow, her bright eyebrows and eyes, and the cold cream reveal a cold and burning look that makes people dare not look at her.
After a moment, Su Ruotang withdrew his gaze and walked behind the screen.
The long skirt trailed over the jade fox sculpture lying on the carpet.
The exquisite jade carving was turned over several times by the fiery red skirt and rolled down under the table where the dragon and phoenix candles were burning.
The servants of the Third Prince's Mansion have long been taught that they must treat the Third Prince's concubine as their Highness.
Therefore, when the servants and maids waiting in the courtyard heard Qing Nian saying that the princess wanted to take a bath, they immediately rushed to get hot water and things needed for bathing.
Su Ruotang took a simple shower and lay down on the bed without even doing any skin care.
Qingwan quietly left with the maids. Seeing that it was getting late and Su Ruotang was still awake, she took a bowl of porridge and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the house.
"Are you still sleeping?"
He whispered to himself, gently pushed open the door, and walked to the inner room.
"Miss? Miss?"
After calling several times, the sleeping beauty behind the curtain still didn't reply.
He gently opened the gauze curtain and was stunned.
