Chapter 126 The Arrogant Xie Yunjia (Actually, she's already won over by Sheng Sheng)

Sheng Sheng chuckled, "But none of them smell as good as my elder sister's!"

Perhaps it was because Sheng Sheng spoke so sincerely, but Xie Yunjia was pleased with the answer. With a proud expression, she leaned lazily against the soft couch that had been arranged in the carriage: "Hmm, this answer sounds good."

Sheng Sheng is the best at finding the most suitable way to soothe everyone. Knowing that Xie Yunjia likes this approach, Sheng Sheng followed up and said, "Zun Du, Zun Du, Mother Consort also planted a small patch of roses in her palace and made flower dew, but none of them smell as good as this."

Xie Yunjia chuckled and nodded her chin at the hidden cabinet beside her.

"Um?"

Sheng Sheng looked puzzled, but Xie Yunjia said calmly, "What are you standing there for? Open it."

Sheng Sheng blinked, crawled over, and pulled open the hidden cabinet, inside which were two exquisite porcelain vases.

Sheng Sheng's eyes lit up. This carriage belonged to Xie Yunjia, so this item must have been prepared by Xie Yunjia in advance.

Sheng Sheng gently shook the porcelain bottle, pressed her ear against it, and heard the slight sloshing sound of water inside. A faint rose fragrance wafted into her nose.

It's the rose petal dew that Sheng Sheng has always said she likes!

"Wow, Royal Sister, is this for Sheng Sheng?"

Xie Yunjia was initially looking closely at every expression and movement on the little dumpling's face, finding it quite interesting that such a small person could have so many emotions.

As soon as the little dumpling asked, she immediately raised her eyes haughtily, lazily and arrogantly picked up the little white cat that had been lying next to the heater, and slowly petted the cat, not even looking at her: "I just remembered that I left two bottles in the carriage."

"Sheng Sheng doesn't care. It was given to her by the Imperial Sister because she promised to give it to her last time!"

Sheng Sheng hugged the two small porcelain bottles with delight, unable to put them down, and then planted a kiss on Xie Yunjia's cheek, saying, "Sheng Sheng loves them so much, thank you, sister~"

Xie Yunjia's hand trembled. Caught off guard by such a direct expression of closeness, she was visibly stunned. Looking to the side, she saw the little dumpling's face full of joy and excitement.

That kiss seemed to be simply an expression of the little dumpling's joy and gratitude; the little dumpling herself didn't feel anything special about it.

Whether it was his affection for her or for the rose dew, his eyes shone brightly, undisguised.

Xie Yunjia's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly looked away, stopping petting the cat. Her bright face flushed pink.

"Sycophant."

Xie Yunjia coughed lightly, concealing her inner emotions: "Well, it's not rose season now, so it's made from rose petals I had stored before, so there aren't many, and they're not very good. Just make do with them. I'll replant them after spring, and when they bloom in summer, I can make a lot more, and then I'll give them to you."

Perhaps to cover up her helplessness, Xie Yunjia said a lot at once, without noticing that what she was saying now contradicted what she had said before, or perhaps she simply didn't care.

Sheng Sheng noticed that, except when Xie Yunjia was really emotionally volatile, she was usually aloof and proud, like a haughty white swan who didn't care to waste her breath on others.

For example, the day she first met Xie Yunjia, Xie Yunjia misunderstood her and was very angry. As soon as she came over, she started yelling at her in a spoiled and willful manner.

And when she refused to wear a white palace dress, she exuded "rebellion," being both forceful and resistant.

But more often than not, Xie Yunjia is more like a proud, noble swan who is too lazy to share even a little bit of her emotions with others.

These two seemingly contradictory personality traits, when applied to Xie Yunjia, make perfect sense.

Not only did Sheng Sheng not dislike her, she found Xie Yunjia even more lively and adorable.

Perhaps only Sheng Sheng thinks this way. Others think Xie Yunjia is willful and capricious, but Sheng Sheng only thinks that she is more sensitive and has a pair of eyes that are more likely to discover beauty.

Because she believed that Xie Yunjia was inherently good, rather than that she thought Xie Yunjia was good.

The ability to communicate with animals seems to have enhanced Sheng Sheng's delicate emotions and intuition, so Sheng Sheng firmly believes in this.

He believed in her, which meant he believed in himself.

With a gentle smile, she said, "Sister, you're so cute!"

Xie Yunjia retorted irritably, "You're such a tiny little dumpling, who gives you the right to call someone cute?"

His eyes darted around, and he dared not look at Sheng Sheng.

Sheng Sheng knew she was shy, so he chuckled and kindly changed the subject.

This carriage was specially commissioned by Consort Xia for Xie Yunjia. Knowing that she was a young lady with a grand manner, the carriage was decorated with luxury and exquisite details everywhere. Even the interior walls of the carriage were specially painted in a light pink color that young ladies like.

It must be said that although Consort Xia hoped that she would be a gentle and elegant princess in terms of etiquette, she also truly doted on her in other aspects. She indulged her to the extreme as long as she did not cross her bottom line. Otherwise, she would not have demanded that she be a lady while cleaning up her messes with her "spoiled and willful" behavior for so many years.

Sheng Sheng asked, "By the way, Your Highness, what did you say to Consort Xia? She agreed to let you come out to play so quickly. I thought I would have to wait a long time."

Speaking of this, Xie Yunjia herself was a little puzzled: "I didn't say anything. I didn't have much hope to begin with, so I just told the truth and didn't say much more. I don't know why my mother agreed so quickly. The best outcome I thought I would do was to fast for a day to show my anger, and my mother might soften and agree. I didn't expect that as soon as I mentioned it, she immediately agreed."

“Oh, no wonder my elder sister said she would only tell Shengsheng the next day.” Shengsheng thought for a moment, “Perhaps she felt sorry for my elder sister after she had just returned to the palace and wanted her to relax.”

"Perhaps."

The two sisters didn't continue the topic, because the carriage had already entered the bustling city, and the noisy sounds of the street could be heard even through the thick curtains.

Sheng Sheng was a little curious. Her only memory of the outside world was the rainy night when Xie Yunchuan took her home; everything else was a blank.

So when Sheng Sheng learned that they were now driving on the busiest street in the capital, she was very excited and asked Xie Yunjia if she could lift the curtain and peek outside.

Xie Yunjia glanced at her, having already composed herself, and her face regained its faint arrogance: "If you want to look, then look. Why are you looking secretly?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sheng Sheng happily lifted the carriage curtain. Their carriage was flanked by two guards, one in front and one behind. In front were Xie Yunyang and Xie Yunchuan, and behind were Xie Yunwen and Xie Yunqi.

Sheng Sheng poked her little head out and discovered that Xie Yunsheng and Xie Yunchuan were no longer in the carriage, but were riding horses at the front.

The two walked side by side, both handsome young men with a unique air of nobility, making them very eye-catching.
