“This was a gift from my brother. No amount of money can buy back my brother’s sentiment.”
As far back as Ye Yueze could remember, no one liked him; only his older brother protected him.
Now his brother spends less and less time with him, and he has no one to talk to.
"I'm sorry, but how about this, tell me your name and where you live, and I'll personally go and buy you a kite to make up for it."
Or I can go home with you and apologize to your brother in person. I'll tell him I didn't mean to break your kite, and then he definitely won't blame you.
"My name is..." Ye Yueze thought for a moment and said, "My name is Yueze, what's yours?"
"My name is Manman!"
Ye Yueze looked at the kite in his hand, knowing he could only take it home to repair it slowly, and felt a little sad. He said to Nangong Manyu.
“Manman, you’re only doing this for your third brother’s own good. I’ll take this kite home and fix it myself. I don’t want you to pay for it.”
Also, you absolutely mustn't let my brother know that you ruined my kite, or you'll be in big trouble.
Throughout Ye Yueze's life, everyone who had bullied him has either disappeared or died.
So he had no friends, and despite his carefulness and tender care, no one was willing to be his friend.
Nangong Manyu chuckled. She had only broken a kite; it wasn't that she was unwilling to pay for it.
"Your brother is so powerful, you're afraid of him, but I'm not."
As she spoke, Nangong Manyu handed the silver to Ye Yueze: "Here, take this silver."
Ye Yueze turned his back to her, looking angry and aggrieved: "I don't want to."
"Why is this person still acting like a child?" Nangong Manyu said, withdrawing her hand.
“Okay then, I’ll take you to buy a new eagle kite tomorrow, so your brother won’t know and you won’t have to fix this broken kite.”
Ye Yueze turned to look at Nangong Manyu, his eyes instantly lighting up: "What did you say? You can take me out to buy a kite?"
He had never left the house before and knew nothing about the social interactions and affairs outside. He really wanted to go out, but his brother wouldn't let him.
"It's just shopping, what's wrong with that? You look so naive. Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), wait for me here. I'll take you out to buy a kite and take you out to play. From now on, you'll be my friend."
"friend!"
Ye Yueze has never had any friends. In Beiliang, no one wanted to play with him because they disliked him when he was a child.
And those people always said his brother was a monster, but his brother wasn't, so he always got into fights with others when he was little.
As he grew up, his older brother became more powerful, and people were afraid of him and dared not play with him, so he had no friends.
"Manman, you said you'd like to be friends with me?"
Nangong Manyu wondered if she had met a fool. She had never met anyone who was so excited about being friends with her.
As the old saying goes, "Having more friends means having more paths to take."
Ye Yueze immediately grabbed Nangong Manyu's arm and laughed, "So, are we friends now?"
Nangong Manyu thought to herself, "How unlucky I am! I really met a fool today. But I am a princess, and I must keep my word."
"Yes! So you must listen to your friend and wait for me here tomorrow."
Ye Yueze nodded emphatically, then patted himself all over, pulling out all the jade pendants and hairpins and handing them to Nangong Manyu, grinning broadly.
“Manman, I know how to be a friend. The book says to give gifts to friends. I only have these on me, so I’ll give them all to you.”
Nangong Manyu was completely bewildered. What was this little fool doing? If he encountered a bad person, they would surely swindle him out of everything.
"Hey... I don't want these..."
Ye Yueze pushed her hand back and ran away, turning back to say as he ran, "Friend, present, take me to buy a kite tomorrow, take me out to play."
Nangong Manyu and her maid Xiaofei were left behind.
"Princess, this person doesn't seem to be doing very well." Xiao Fei pointed to her head.
"I think so too."
Xiao Fei pouted, "Princess, are you really going to take him out tomorrow? Won't something happen?"
Nangong Manyu turned to her maid: "Am I the kind of person who breaks her word? Besides, we misunderstood him and even broke his kite."
"Go back. Tomorrow, just have a few more people secretly follow them. It's not hard to bring along an idiot."
When the two returned home, she had dinner with Nangong Qing and watched him take his medicine before she felt relieved enough to go to rest.
Chen Shi (7-9 AM)
She was thinking of going there early to wait for that silly boy, to take him to buy a kite, and to go home sooner.
Knowing that she was going out, Nangong Qing had the guards and soldiers change into civilian clothes and protect her in secret.
Nangong Manyu thought she had come out quite early, but she didn't expect to see Ye Yueze, who had arrived even earlier than her, as soon as she got to the same spot as yesterday.
“Manman, you really came. You did it. The book says that true friends never break their promises.”
Nangong Manyu chuckled and, seeing that he was here so early, asked, "Yueze, when did you arrive?"
Ye Yueze scratched his head and chuckled, "I came before dawn, afraid you wouldn't see me."
Nangong Manyu: "..."
"You must not have had breakfast yet, right? I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Ye Yueze was overjoyed; he realized how good it felt to have friends: "Mmm!"
Nangong Manyu took him to Fumanlou, the best restaurant in the entire capital, for breakfast. With Axu there, they could order whatever they wanted.
Then Nangong Manyu took him to buy a new kite. The two were about the same age and were at the age where they loved to play.
Nangong Manyu can't go shopping every day, and besides, there was someone who was dumber than her in everything today, which further aroused her protective instincts.
The two were having a great time, while the people at Zegan Garden were getting impatient.
"Master, the Seventh Prince has disappeared."
Ye Beihan slammed his fist on the coffee table, his murderous gaze filled with anxiety.
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him? Hurry up and find him for me."
This is Nanning, not the Northern Liang Imperial Palace. If someone were to capture Ye Yueze and use him to threaten him, things would be very bad.
This time, he brought Ye Yueze with him so that he could do whatever he wanted in Nanning without any worries.
"You deal with that piece of trash who's always following Yue Ze."
Shuang Shuo bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
Several groups of people were sent out, but it took an hour to get results.
"Master, my men say they've found the Seventh Prince."
Ye Beihan looked at the guard behind Shuang Shuo and sat up straight: "Yue Ze is back?"
The guard shook his head: "Your Highness, I found the Seventh Prince on the street, but the person with him is the Fifth Princess of Nanning. I dare not make any moves, so I have come back to report."
How could Yue Ze, who was always in the courtyard, know Nangong Manyu?
"What did they do together?" Ye Beihan asked.
