Jiang Ziyi was inside her room, staring at the little white cat that had strayed into the yard. An idea came to her mind. As she scanned the yard, she noticed a small tree planted there, one called Polygonum multiflorum. The branches of this plant were incredibly attractive to cats. She had previously owned a cat and had bought it a number of products containing Polygonum multiflorum and catnip, which the cat loved.
She broke off a small branch.
"Mimi, mimi, slurp slurp..." Jiang Ziyi calls all the kittens whose names she doesn't know Mimi.
She shook the branch a few times, and the little white cat came over happily. It rubbed against the branch and seemed very intoxicated. It lay on the ground, turned over and exposed its belly.
When Xiao Jingyun stepped into the yard, he saw Jiang Ziyi squatting on the ground, with the kitten rolling around in her hands, begging for a pat.
Sensing someone approaching, Jiang Ziyi raised her head in a slightly panicked manner, her eyes timid, like a little deer.
Sure enough, the person who came was Xiao Jingyun. This was their first meeting.
Since Xiao Jingyun was attracted to her when he first met her in his previous life, it should be the same in this life.
As expected, she saw amazement in his eyes. Perhaps it was true that he was attracted to her at that moment, but his ruthlessness afterwards was also true. What he got was no longer precious.
While Jiang Ziyi was staring at Xiao Jingyun, Xiao Jingyun was also looking at the girl in front of him.
He entered the palace today to obey his father's request and get closer to Princess Mingyue.
Princess Mingyue said she wanted to see the white cat her sister raised, so she brought the cat into the palace. However, the cat ran away as soon as it saw Princess Mingyue. If she couldn't find it, she would have no way to explain to her sister.
He searched everywhere and accidentally entered this side hall.
As soon as he entered the room, what caught his eye was the harmonious scene of the girl and the cat together. Normally, this cat was arrogant and never looked people in the eye in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was indifferent to its own sister. But today, this cat was as well-behaved as a rice ball in the hands of this woman. He couldn't help but feel curious about what kind of magic the woman in front of him had that could make such an arrogant cat be tamed by her.
"My name is Xiao Jingyun. May I ask who the young lady is?"
This was a side hall, and the girl didn't seem to have anyone serving her, so he couldn't guess her identity for a moment.
"My name is Jiang Ziyi." In her previous life, she took the initiative to tell him that she was an unpopular princess. At that time, he really felt sorry for her situation and often brought gifts to visit her. After a few visits, the lonely original owner secretly fell in love with her and fell deeper and deeper in love.
Of course, Jiang Ziyi, who traveled through time, knew very well that such a person was not worthy of love at all. He only gave small favors. Before making important decisions, this man would never consider her, especially if he couldn't get what he wanted. The faster he got it, the faster he would get disgusted with it!
For the original owner, who lacked love, Xiao Jingyun's gentleness might be a ray of light in her life, but she was different. After the divorce, she no longer believed in love without reason. She had always been a person who passed by flowers without getting a single leaf on her body! She knew clearly that as long as a man felt that there was no profit in you, he would start to weigh the pros and cons. As long as he felt that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, he would become the one to be abandoned.
Therefore, she learned to think about problems with a male mindset. Who says only men can make trade-offs? Women can do the same!
In her eyes, Xiao Jingyun at the moment could be used, so she decided to make good use of him.
"Brother Xiao, is this cat yours?" The girl asked softly. Her eyes were no longer as timid as at the beginning. Instead, they were filled with some girlish shyness and playfulness.
"Yes, I came here just to find it. What about you? Why are you alone in such a remote place?"
Xiao Jingyun looked around and found that the area around here was almost deserted. If he hadn't been looking for a cat, he probably wouldn't have set foot here at all.
"I was born here. After my mother passed away, I lived here alone." The girl's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and no trace of sadness or joy could be heard.
Jiang Ziyi did not actively play the victim. If he was interested in her, he would naturally ask about her background.
When Xiao Jingyun heard her say this, he had a guess in his mind that those who could stay in the palace were not ordinary people. He seemed to have heard before that in addition to the queen, there was another woman who gave birth to a baby girl for His Majesty, but she was just given a name casually, but was not named a princess.
He probably guessed that Jiang Ziyi was the baby girl.
He looked at the clothes the girl in front of him was wearing. She was obviously a princess, but the clothes she wore were patched and her sewing skills were not very good. It looked like she had just sewed them by herself.
Then he thought of the domineering Princess Mingyue, who had the best food, clothing, and housing because her mother was the queen. In comparison, he felt a little pity for the girl in front of him.
Jiang Ziyi stared at his changing expressions and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She had lived to an age several times older than the little brat in front of her in her previous life. His thoughts were all written on his face. He simply felt sorry for her. It just so happened that she wanted to take advantage of this man's savior mentality.
Jiang Ziyi picked up the kitten and handed it to Xiao Jingyun. She patted the kitten's head and said, "Mimi, I'm sorry. The palace servants haven't brought food for three days, so there's nothing for you to eat. Go home with your owner quickly."
"Have you not eaten for three days?"
When Xiao Jingyun heard her say this, he realized that the focus was on the fact that she had not eaten for three days.
"Mother once said that the palace staff are very busy, so it's normal to be a few days late. I can't lose my temper, otherwise no one will bring me food."
