Chapter 268 What are you doing
"What are you doing?"
Xu Muhua suddenly appeared, blinking her curious eyes and looking at the two people standing by the pool.
She moved her nose and sniffed.
Hmm, why did she seem to smell a sweet scent!
Zhao Chengye and Pei Shaorong just stood there stupidly, neither talking nor leaving, like two puppets. They just moved occasionally, one raised his eyes and took a quick look, then blushed and lowered his head, leaning to the side. The other one looked like he was drunk, grinning, and no one knew what he was grinning about.
Xu Muhua looked up and reached out to touch it.
Hey, it feels like there are so many pink bubbles here!
Her sudden voice finally woke up the two people standing stupidly by the pool!
The two of them were startled, and quickly came to their senses. They subconsciously made some concealing moves, not knowing that they were simply trying to cover up their crimes!
Pei Shaorong was a little annoyed.
What happened to her? Why was she standing here stupidly with the Fifth Prince, as if she was possessed by a demon?
Fortunately, this was the Princess's Mansion, and there were not many people. No one walked here. Otherwise, if someone saw them, who knows what would be said.
Zhao Chengye finally regained his senses, and quickly calmed down. He looked at Xu Muhua as if nothing had happened and said, "I just passed by and saw Miss Pei, so I just said hello."
Xu Muhua looked at him suspiciously.
And, already?
If she hadn't read the book and knew that they were the male and female protagonists, she would have really believed his nonsense!
She laughed, but her laughter was a little shy, "I was just passing by, I understand, I understand!"
Zhao Chengye: "..."
Why did he feel like he had explained it in vain?
"Hehe, the scenery in my aunt's house is quite nice, you two can enjoy it slowly, I'll go to pay my respects to my aunt first."
Zhao Chengye couldn't stay any longer, so he left after he finished speaking, making people feel guilty!
As soon as he left, Pei Shaorong behaved much more naturally.
"Did the princess..."
Pei Shaorong asked in a low voice with concern.
Xu Muhua shook her head, "Don't worry, your highness didn't make things difficult for me, and she even comforted me!"
The princess made her a promise, but she didn't tell her.
Although the princess said so and she agreed, she was not stupid enough to use this promise to gain any benefits.
She thought that if she had the chance in the future, she would quickly fulfill this promise. No matter how big or small the matter is, everyone will feel at ease after using it!
If she never used it, the princess would probably feel uneasy, worrying that she would use this promise to ask her to do something excessive.
If the person in the palace knew about it, who knows what would come up with.
Pei Shaorong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Fortunately, the princess is tolerant and generous."
If it were someone else, they might put all the blame on Mu Hua, especially some irrational mothers. They always think that their own children are good in every way, and if something happens, it is the fault of other people's children.
Xu Muhua thought for a moment and nodded, "The eldest princess is indeed easy to get along with."
She lowered her voice and said, "At least she is easier to get along with than those in the palace."
So far, she thinks that Concubine Zhang is okay in the palace, and the Empress Dowager doesn't look like the kind of person who is overbearing. But she has been able to sit firmly on the throne of the Central Palace for many years, and even without giving birth to a legitimate son, which shows that the Empress Dowager must not be a simple person.
Pei Shaorong thought about it and nodded in agreement, "That's true."
"Arong, your coming of age day is coming soon, are you ready?"
Xu Muhua asked.
When talking about her coming-of-age day, Pei Shaorong's smile became brighter, "Well, my mother and grandfather are already prepared. Muhua, you must come when the time comes!"
"Of course, you are my best friend, I will definitely go to your coming-of-age day. But Arong, you have come of age, so has your aunt mentioned your marriage?"
Xu Muhua asked tentatively.
Because in the book, on the heroine's coming-of-age day, the palace suddenly issued an imperial decree to marry the granddaughter of the Taifu to the fifth prince.
Three days later, the fifth prince was officially named the crown prince, and the heroine suddenly became the future crown princess!
I don't know how many girls in the capital envied her.
The Taifu Mansion was in its heyday, and its influence and power reached its peak!
Today, it seems that there should be some feelings between Arong and the fifth prince. The arranged marriage in the book went smoothly, but now that she has become one of the characters in the book, she is a little uncertain.
Pei Shaorong did not show much shyness on her face, and shook her head honestly: "No, I haven't heard my mother mention it. But my father wanted to arrange a marriage for me before, but was stopped by my grandfather. My grandfather said that he and my mother would take care of my marriage, and there was no need for my father to interfere."
So she thought that maybe her grandfather had some ideas in his mind.
No matter what, she believed in her grandfather. If her grandfather really had a suitable candidate in mind, she would accept it.
I don't know why, but when she thought about this, a smiling face appeared in her mind. A hint of complexity flashed across her eyes, and then she immediately regained her composure.
It was still unclear whether they had this fate. She would not force her grandfather to join the factions of the princes because of her own feelings.
"Then... Ah Rong, what do you think of the Fifth Prince..."
Pei Shaorong seemed to know what she meant by that. She glared at her without much anger in her eyes.
She reached out and poked Xu Muhua's forehead. "You, you are so talkative, you say everything. The Fifth Prince and I..."
Pei Shaorong looked calm, but she had no idea that her beautiful face had begun to turn red, and there seemed to be a gleam in her eyes. "We just chatted for a few sentences, you are not allowed to say anything nonsense, let alone think about it!"
"You are unmarried, what's wrong with me thinking about it? I think you two are a good match, you--hmm!"
Before Xu Muhua finished speaking, Pei Shaorong covered her mouth, and her face began to burn!
"Do you believe that I will sew your mouth shut?"
Xu Muhua blinked, showing her disbelief.
Pei Shaorong was furious, and for a moment she really didn't know what to do with her.
Why did she feel that Muhua's face was getting thicker and thicker?
As the two were arguing, a maid came over and said that the princess wanted them to go over and talk.
The two hurriedly restrained themselves and followed the maid to the hall in an orderly manner.
Xu Muhua found that the princess had been staring at Arong for a long time, and then she heard the princess say: "The more I look at Master Pei's granddaughter, the more I like her. After all, Master Pei is the one who can teach people!"
Xu Muhua secretly pouted in her heart after hearing this.
Master Pei taught Arong well, and looking at Master Pei's son, wow, wow, I don't know if there is a genetic mutation.
Thinking of that old lady Pei, Xu Muhua felt that Arong's father had such a bad character, maybe he inherited it from old lady Pei!
So, when choosing a partner for marriage, you can't just look at appearance, money, etc., the most important thing is character! Otherwise,
