Zhao Ruyan also saw Shen Jiaojiao walking to the door. However, Shen Jiaojiao was still dressed in the black brocade clothes from yesterday, and her hair was tied up like the guards', only she was a bit shorter.
Ruyan thought he was just an ordinary guard, so she smiled slightly at him and nodded in greeting.
Suddenly, footsteps came from behind her. Zhao Ruyan looked up, her eyes filled with surprise. Although she had never met His Highness the Crown Prince, she liked his appearance and clothes.
Her gaze swept past Shen Jiaojiao, and she gave Chu Tianling a graceful bow, her voice sweet and cloying: "Good morning, young master. My father is the eldest daughter of Zhao Ping'an, the Minister of Revenue. My name is Zhao Ruyan. Thank you for saving my life. May I ask your honorable name?"
Shen Jiaojiao turned to look at Zhao Ruyan, only to find that the other party had completely lost her previous politeness and was now as beautiful as a peach blossom, displaying the romantic demeanor of a little girl.
Wearing a pink dress, she looks absolutely adorable!
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Chu Tianling with amusement, then paused for a moment!
Uh! His face was expressionless, seemingly filled with resentment and dissatisfaction.
Chu Tianling didn't even glance at her, bypassing Zhao Ruyan, and took Shen Jiaojiao's hand, saying with dissatisfaction, "Jiaojiao, where are you going? Why didn't you wait for me?"
"Um... I just wanted to find a place to wash up!" For some reason, Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.
Chu Tianling pulled her away, but suddenly remembered something and turned to Zhou Tianqi, saying, "Tianqi! You take care of things here!"
Then he pulled Shen Jiaojiao away, and Shen Jiaojiao followed him all the way, and soon they arrived at the riverbank.
Shen Jiaojiao gently removed her hand and walked towards the river. The cool water splashed on her face, instantly waking her up.
Although the air is better outside, life is still more comfortable at home.
Chu Tianling was quick; after washing himself, he stood to the side waiting for Shen Jiaojiao.
After Shen Jiaojiao finished washing up, she came over and her hand was grabbed again.
"Jiaojiao, don't push me onto someone else, I don't like that!"
"Oh well!"
Shen Jiaojiao lacked confidence and answered sullenly!
Chu Tianling was furious again. Oh well, relying on her for protection was useless. It seemed he had to protect himself and not give Jiao Jiao any reason to leave him.
…
Zhao Ruyan watched helplessly as the two walked past hand in hand, a surge of anger rising within her. She, Zhao Ruyan, had never met such a handsome man in her entire life, and he dared to ignore her!
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the big, dumb guy behind him. He was tall and burly, with a dark face and a particularly silly smile. He seemed easy to fool!
So Zhao Ruyan smiled and asked, "Brother, what's your name?"
The big, simple-minded Zhou Tianqi didn't think too much about it. He thought that the poor girl had been arrested yesterday, and she could still smile now, which must be quite difficult for her.
He cupped his hands in greeting and replied, "My name is Zhou Tianqi!"
Zhao Ruyan subtly inquired, "Brother Zhou, who were those two people who just passed by? You know I was arrested yesterday. If it weren't for the kind people who saved me, I don't know what would have happened to me! What bad intentions could I possibly have? I just wanted to repay my benefactors!"
Zhou Tianqi's ears were practically melting from the sweet voice he heard. His simple mind immediately betrayed him: "The ones passing by are His Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!"
Zhao Ruyan's eyes lit up!
Your Highness! You are truly remarkable!
There were rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't live past 18, but now it seems those were all false.
Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince is so handsome. Although he already has a Crown Princess, His Highness will eventually ascend the throne and have a harem of three thousand beauties. Right now, he only has one Crown Princess. If I were to win his favor now, I would definitely be able to get a concubine position in the future!
Upon thinking of this, Zhao Ruyan became excited and chatted even more enthusiastically with Zhou Tianqi.
When Shen Jiaojiao and the others returned, Zhao Ruyan's attitude was completely different.
She came over cheerfully, grabbed Chen Jiaojiao's hand, and said in a coquettish tone, "Oh! Crown Princess, I never expected to meet you in the suburbs, it's so wonderful!"
Shen Jiaojiao was speechless. Do you think I'm stupid?
People who grew up watching TV dramas are definitely not normal!
She tried to pull away, but the other person held on very tightly.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to suffer this insult.
She stopped, frowned, and said seriously to Zhao Ruyue, "Let go! You're hurting me! I don't know you. My mother only has one daughter, I don't have a child your age. Don't call me sister!"
Upon hearing that Jiao Jiao's hand was in pain, Chu Tianling immediately spoke to Zhou Tianqi, "Hurry up and pull her away! Didn't you hear what the Crown Princess said?"
Zhao Ruyan felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
What a damn Crown Princess! She speaks so bluntly and without any restraint!
She quickly let go, afraid that the big, clumsy guy would actually pull her away and damage her reputation.
Chu Tianling glared at Zhao Ruyan, then put his arm around Shen Jiaojiao and went back. It was time for breakfast! Jiaojiao was hungry too.
She stormed into the tent, rolled up Jiao Jiao's sleeve, and sure enough, saw a pink handprint on her arm.
Jiaojiao's skin is already fair, so this time the handprints were particularly noticeable.
Chu Tianling quickly took out the ointment and carefully applied it, saying with concern, "Jiaojiao, does it still hurt! That damned woman, how dare she bully you! I'll get my revenge on her when we get out!"
When Shen Jiaojiao saw his sullen little face, she suddenly found him so cute!
He couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, how can you be so cute! She didn't use much force. Forget it, why should you, the Crown Prince, get angry with a little girl? Let it go!"
When Chu Tianling heard her say she was cute, he couldn't help but chuckle. "She said I'm cute!"
His tone was still somewhat harsh: "Hmph! Since she's so young, let her go. I'll have her father make things difficult for her!"
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! I never expected you to be like this, Your Highness. I always thought you were a gentleman!" Shen Jiaojiao really didn't expect him to say that.
Chu Tianling called someone to bring in the food, her face slightly flushed, and handed over the bowl.
Looking at Shen Jiaojiao, he said, "Let's eat first. Anyway, I'm all yours now. You'll gradually find out what I'm like. We have a long time ahead of us, right?"
Shen Jiaojiao took the bowl. It was noodles she had eaten that morning. She hadn't expected this person to keep saying such things.
I quietly avoided the topic by talking about eating.
After delivering breakfast, Zhou Tianqi went downstairs to eat as well. Mealtime was his happiest time.
I already know that when I brought the food in to His Highness the Crown Prince, he was eating noodles this morning and wanted to eat more.
As for Zhao Ruyue, who was following behind with a dark expression, he no longer cared about her. This person had even displeased the Crown Princess, and if the Crown Princess was unhappy, His Highness the Crown Prince would also be unhappy.
Don't get close to this kind of person, or His Highness the Crown Prince will be unhappy and it will affect his meal!
In some ways, the big, simple-minded guy really does have good fortune; there's absolutely nothing wrong with that logic.
