Chapter 38
Lan Zhihui shook her hand slightly, and a drop of clear tea spilled out and landed on the back of her hand, causing a slight burning pain.

In this case, he has asked twice, and this is the third time, and she knows in her heart that this will also be the last time.

But still without any hesitation, he said, "Sorry, I don't want to!"

She has always known his thoughts for her, but there is someone in her heart that she can't let go of, and she doesn't want to just give up like this.

The corner of the man's lips curled up in a self-deprecating arc, and he tapped lightly on the table with his long fingers. His voice was deep and magnetic as usual, "Well, I respect your decision, but if you don't marry me, it may be more difficult in the future."

The woman's chest was stuffy, her brows were full of her unique arrogance, she nodded slightly, "I know!"

"However, I will always protect you!" The man's slightly raised phoenix eyes flickered with brilliance, and his voice was shallow.

Because she is from his Ji family, because they have known each other for ten years, and because of some feelings that he can't confirm, in short, he will protect her.

A smile overflowed from the corner of the woman's lips, she took a sip from the teacup, a slight bitterness spread in her lips, raised her eyes and smiled,
"Replace wine with tea, congratulations on your upcoming wedding!"

With a slight smile on Ji Yuxian's lips, he raised his hand and raised his glass, his eyes sparkling.

"Miss Su, have you met?" Lan Zhihui asked with a chuckle, "Isn't it true that you are both educated and sensible?"

Ji Yuxian raised her phoenix eyes slightly, and a smirk overflowed from the corner of her lips, "I've seen it, but I haven't noticed what you said!"

Or, he doesn't know what kind of person this Miss Su family is?

When they met for the first time, in the restaurant, she was like an ordinary woman. She was reserved and shy when she saw him, she didn't even dare to raise her head, she didn't dare to speak, she was even so nervous that she held the hand of the servant next to her and trembled.

The second time we met was in that small courtyard. She was drinking with a few of her entourage. She stepped on the table and yelled angrily at the servants, with an angry expression on her face. She wondered if she had drunk too much.

When she raised her head and spoke to him, her expression was calm. It was that momentary change that made him interested in her and agreed to the marriage.

Thinking about it now, maybe he was overthinking it. Maybe that woman was just an ordinary woman, who pretended to be dignified and gentle in front of others, but was willful and domineering in the back to bully her servants.

But in the end, you will know after getting married!

Do you think that marrying into Ji's mansion will make you superior to others in prosperity and wealth?

Without much ability, what awaits her may be worse than death!
Ji Yuxian pursed his lips into a cool smile, pinched the teacup with his long fingers and sniffed lightly under his nose, and said very lightly, "Don't worry, it's just a woman, it won't have any influence on the Ji family!"

She was obedient, so he trained her and raised her for two more days.

If you are not obedient, there will be no future!

Lan Zhihui was taken aback, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What am I worried about, am I worried that she will withdraw me as Fangzhu because of jealousy?"

Everyone in Shengjing knows that Ji Yuxian likes her. This Miss Su has been in Shengjing for nearly a month, so she must have heard of it.Because of jealousy and hatred for her, it is not impossible to secretly use some tricks to get her to leave Yuyifang?
However, in that case, I'm afraid she will leave Shengjing earlier than herself!

Lan Zhihui raised her hand to pour tea for Ji Yuxian. Amidst the sound of dripping water, the fragrance of the tea wafted away. She took a deep breath, pursed her lips and smiled gracefully, "This fragrance, after smelling it for a long time, seems to be pretty good!"

……

After noon, Lan Zhihui came out of the room, put on a fox fur, and walked out with the maid.

The sky was gloomy, and the light in the corridor was darker than usual. Just after taking two steps, the door of the front room suddenly slammed, and a man in black and silver-patterned brocade came out.

Lan Zhihui stopped suddenly, her beautiful eyes looked bright, and she called out in a low voice, "Your Highness?"

Upon hearing the sound, Prince Rui Xiao Lie turned around, saw that it was Lan Zhihui, and nodded lightly, "Miss Lan!"

Hearing the man's polite and alienated tone, the woman's heart ached, but the smile on her face became more dignified, "I didn't expect His Highness to be here."

Xiao Lie glanced at the closed door, and said in a low voice, "A few colleagues in the court asked Ben Wang to drink tea. It's snowing today, and it's Muxiu again, so they came here."

Lan Zhihui nodded with a smile.

The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and it was a little awkward.

When she was young, she went to the palace with her father to attend palace banquets, met Xiao Lie several times, and the two even went to pick plum blossoms together.On a cold winter night, the moon was shining brightly in the plum grove, and the young man was unparalleled in handsomeness. When he gave her the red plums from Ningxue, his smiling eyes made her unforgettable forever.

But later, the Lan family was raided, and she became a commoner with a low status. The two people's identities were so different that they had no intersection. Even if they met by chance like today, it was just a nodding acquaintance.

strange, alienated

"Your Highness,"

"Miss Lan,"

After a moment of silence, the two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.

"Miss Lan speaks first!" Xiao Lie said lightly.

"It's the first snow today, and the sky is full of Qiongfang and broken jade. It's really interesting. If your highness is free, can you go out with Zhihui?" Lan Zhihui said softly, looking at the man with earnest eyes.

Xiao Lie lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay!"

The woman's eyes suddenly filled with joy, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

When the two of them left the teahouse, a gust of cold wind and snow fell on them, and the little maid hurriedly opened the oil-paper umbrella to cover Lan Zhihui.

Lan Zhihui took the bamboo umbrella with her slender hands, and said softly, "I will go out with His Highness, you can just wait here!"

The little maid smiled and nodded knowingly, and handed the bamboo bone umbrella to her.

The two walked slowly along the silent long street under umbrellas.

The woman is dressed in white fur, with picturesque eyebrows and beautiful face, while the man is tall and straight, with a cool and elegant temperament. From a distance, they are really enviable couples.

"How is your highness?" Lan Zhihui asked softly, half a step behind the man, looking up at the man's handsome profile.

"En!" Xiao Lie nodded lightly, "It's okay!"

"After this snowfall, the weather is going to be cold. Your Highness, pay more attention to your health, and..." Lan Zhihui knew that the crown prince was still undecided, and the power struggle between the parties in the court was becoming more and more serious, so he asked him to be careful of those open and hidden arrows.

Before she finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong. The man stopped and looked across the long street, his breath suddenly became cold.

Lan Zhihui followed his gaze, and saw a rouge shop opposite, a carriage parked in front of the door, a young man was getting off the carriage, and then turned a corner into the alley next to it.

Through the wind and snow, he couldn't see the boy's face clearly, but judging by his clothes, he didn't look like a child of an aristocratic family.

Xiao Lie handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Lan Zhihui, "Sorry, I have something to do, so go ahead!"

After saying that, he flew towards the alley where the boy disappeared.

Lan Zhihui was slightly taken aback, and turned her head to see the man's back disappearing into the snowflakes like a flash of surprise, holding an umbrella in his hand, the temperature on the ribs of the umbrella disappeared little by little, tiny snowflakes fell on the back of his hand, silky A hint of coolness penetrated through the body immediately.

The boy who got off the carriage was Su Jiu!
When Xiao Lie saw her getting off a luxurious carriage, he subconsciously thought that she had stolen into the car while the owner was going to buy rouge in the shop, so he immediately chased after her.

Su Jiu heard the wind behind her, turned her head suddenly, her eyes widened in shock, and then ran away.

 Thank you guys for the flowers and diamonds!
