Chapter 11 Disappointment
The carriage swayed and stopped, Ruan Yuyi knew it was here, opened the curtain, took Mu Xiang's hand extended to her, and stepped down lightly.

Mu Xiang turned her head and looked at her with a smile, "Miss, the prince seems to be very interested in your sachet, why don't you give him one too."

When she was leaving, she saw that the young lady's waist was empty, and felt that the jade pendant was too simple and elegant, and suddenly remembered the beautiful hibiscus on the sachet, so she put it on for the young lady.

Thinking about it at this moment, this move is very wise, her lady's embroidery is so good, how can she not let the son see it.

Ruan Yuyi shook her head lightly, "There are so many people who are looking forward to embroidering the sachet for him, how can it be my turn? If you want to give it, it must be an outstanding item, otherwise you should look at it if you are like a prince Tired of eyes."

Besides, when it comes to Shizi's expression today, it really doesn't look like she is purely happy with her sachet, but more like identifying the things involved in the case.

"Then what do you think makes one outstanding?" The young lady really had a better idea, and Mu Xiang's eyes lit up.

From the first meeting, Shizi has always been a lonely and arrogant face of an exiled fairy. No matter how she lures her openly and hints at her secretly, she remains unmoved, and has repeatedly expressed her intention to leave the courtyard.

But when she proposed to go to the Buddhist hall to offer incense, Shizi's eyes seemed to loosen a little, showing a trace of anger, and he even led her the way and made a fire for her.

Maybe she can start here.

"I have my own way." Ruan Yuyi said slowly, the moonlight streamed into her eyes, reflecting a watery clearness.

Walking to the hanging flower door, Mu Xiang was about to reach out to push it, and through the gap in the door, her eyes touched a shadow.She frowned, took a small step to the side, stood in front of the door, and said to Ruan Yuyi, "Miss, just wait here."

After she entered, she did not forget to gently cover the door, as if there was something inside that she couldn't see.

Suspicion appeared in Ruan Yuyi's eyes, but she obediently waited outside.

There were few servants and maidservants coming and going at this hour, and only a few lamps were lit, and the night was shrouded in silence.

Through the unclosed door, she could vaguely hear a man and a woman talking, and she couldn't hear any more.She stood there for a while, but was still not at ease. She opened the door lightly and stepped in with her skirt lifted.

When you lift your feet, layers of clothes float up and down, revealing the small inlaid and embroidered shoes underneath.

Cheng Xingqiu, who had been waiting for her here for a long time, turned his head when he heard the sound, and was startled for a moment, "Lingling, where have you been?"

"Why isn't the eldest son accompanying His Highness the eldest princess?" Ruan Yuyi said softly.

Cheng Xingqiu looked at the woman with a distant expression in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the past. He wanted to hold her hand, but Ruan Yuyi pulled her away calmly.

He had no choice but to stand where he was, and explained, "I went to your yard to look for you, but you weren't here. So I just waited here."

Although it wasn't long, he was indeed looking forward to her return.It's not that he didn't think about waiting in her yard, but he was just worried that she wouldn't want to see him, so when he closed the door, he wouldn't be able to speak.

"Lingling, are you angry? Angry at me for bringing another woman back?" He looked at her probingly, trying to see something from her face.

He knew that although she looked kind and deceitful, she was stubborn. If she touched her bottom line, she would be destroyed.Now it seems that there is no resentment, and there is still room for negotiation.

But he didn't know that he could only do this if he was extremely disappointed.

Cheng Xingqiu let out a soft voice, with a faraway look and a look of nostalgia, "More than a year ago, you ran out of the city for fun, but failed to come back before the curfew. I didn't know you were waiting for you outside the city, waiting for you One night, do you remember?"

wait for her?If you were really anxious, why didn't you hear that he came out to find you.She was left alone in a small inn nearby, holding the cloth she had chosen for him for a long time, and was cheated by the innkeeper into being penniless.

She is not playful at all.

She sneered in her heart, it's not that they didn't have a good time, it's just that the bond was too shallow after all, if anyone else came along, the red thread would be broken by itself.

"That day, I bought you winter clothes. You mentioned that you fell in love with a piece of brocade." Because of his liking, she once went to several cloth shops in the city, but thinking about it now, it is ridiculous. .

Hearing this, the smile on Cheng Xingqiu's face stagnated, and thinking about it carefully, it seemed that such a thing happened.

So he changed the subject, "The eldest princess is kind to me, and I can't leave her alone. Lingling has always been kind, so she won't trap me in injustice, right?"

On the one hand, it can bring him fame and fortune, on the other hand, he is a beautiful wife and family, neither of which can bear to give up.If he gets these two wives and concubines in the future, wouldn't it be another good story if the two of them can emulate Ehuang and Nvying.

It's just that the eldest princess would not condescend to be his concubine, but Ruan Yuyi, the daughter of a declining clan, was perfect.

She nodded slightly, unable to deny it, "Just repay your kindness." But she didn't mention the matter of being a concubine at all.

Without getting a definite answer, Cheng Xingqiu's heart became restless, and he couldn't help but speak out, "If you become a concubine, I will treat you as before, and I won't let you down."

"Has Madam agreed?" Ruan Yuyi retorted.

Cheng Xingqiu is not like the second son of the Cheng family, he is in good health, and he was the top student in high school, so he is valued by the master of the Cheng family.

But for Mrs. Cheng Zhu, no matter whether she is stupid or not, she is the flesh and blood of her direct relatives. Therefore, compared with the eldest son who is beautiful, she will naturally take care of her second son more subconsciously, and she will not give up the opportunity for her second son to marry a wife. .

After hearing this, Cheng Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he cared about this matter. If it wasn't for his mother's permission, he wouldn't be able to come.After all, the woman in front of him may also become his sister-in-law under the assignment of his mother.

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to her." He coaxed.

Seeing him whispering softly, she felt a little sour and turned her head away, "Cheng Xingqiu, I said earlier that I don't want to be a concubine."

The love when she was young was always the most sincere and intense, but it was just a pit that made her fall, and she would never stay for him again.

In the past, it was rare for her to be soft, and he only thought she was angry for a while, "Okay, let's not talk about it, I will wait for you to think about it. This time I came, and I heard that you caught a cold, so someone caught you Get some medicine."

He winked at the boy on the side, and a few plasters of traditional Chinese medicine were presented.

"This is a prescription handed down by the family doctor of the Princess's Mansion. It is the most effective for treating wind and cold." He handed the things to Mu Xiang, and said to Ruan Yuyi, "If you finish taking it, come and get it from me."

I really don't know what he was thinking, but he actually delivered medicine to the eldest princess in favor of her.Looking at the medicine in front of her, she inexplicably thought of a pair of cold peach blossom eyes.

If it was the prince, he probably wouldn't do this, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make those girls sad.

Mu Xiang regarded the things in front of her as nothing, not only did not pick them up, but also turned her body to block Ruan Yuyi, and said seriously, "Our young lady has her own medicine, so there is no need for the eldest son to bother."

The master's family has not yet refused, and a servant girl dares to interrupt without authorization.

He felt offended, raised his eyebrows, and was about to scold.

Ruan Yuyi said in a deep voice, "That's what I mean. From now on, we'd better not meet in private, lest the eldest princess misunderstand and be sad."

She didn't want to be between the two of them.

Without waiting for Cheng Xingqiu to say anything else, she quickly walked towards her yard, the cool wind brushed her cheeks, and she left the rest of her nostalgia on the spot.

Behind it was Cheng Xingqiu's voice calling her in small characters, and the farther away he was, the less real his voice was.

It seems that from the acquaintance to the present point, it was just a big dream.
