Li Nian walked down the stairs and saw Her Royal Highness the Princess leisurely sipping tea.
She was wearing a bright red long dress today. The style of the dress was very simple, without any extra embroidery patterns, but it made her look more casual and unrestrained.
Perhaps he heard the noise of her coming downstairs, and his narrow and long phoenix eyes looked at her with a smile.
Li Nian was confused and felt that the princess's attitude was like meeting an old friend.
But she returned to Beijing using the identity of Li Nian. No, she just returned to Beijing last night. The princess must be too well-informed about the news.
Li Nian hurried downstairs and bowed respectfully, saying, "I greet Her Highness. I was exhausted from the long journey yesterday and woke up a little late today. I am sorry for keeping Her Highness waiting. Please forgive me."
"It's okay." The princess stood up and reached out to pull her up gracefully. Her red lips painted with bright lipstick slightly parted, and her voice was very mature and low.
"I told them not to disturb Madam Yun's rest, and I was willing to wait on my own. It has nothing to do with you."
Li Nian was startled, and with his lips slightly parted, he looked at the beautiful princess in surprise.
In fact, the princess's facial features are not gorgeous. She has thick eyebrows, phoenix eyes, red lips and fair skin. She has a kind of exquisite beauty that combines the exquisite beauty of a woman with the heroic spirit of a man.
Li Nian lowered her eyes and spoke nervously, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you've recognized the wrong person. My surname is Li, and my given name is Nian. I'm not the Madam Yun that Your Highness is referring to."
She didn't know where the princess got the news of her return to the capital, whether she was sure of her identity, and whether her attitude at this time was a test?
But she came to the capital to change her identity.
Therefore, she could not admit that she was Yun Qiuwu.
He couldn't help but worry, what if the princess knew that he had lied to her, would it anger her and bring disaster upon herself?
Li Nian was confused and worried and thought a lot.
The princess chuckled and said cheerfully, "Then I'll call you Nian Nian, how about that?"
"Huh?" Li Nian didn't expect the princess to believe her so easily? She even thought of a name for her?
She was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Of course you can."
Li Nian was confused as the noble princess took her hand and sat on the pearwood couch together.
I heard her whisper, "Are you hungry? It's lunchtime now. Nian Nian, do you mind if I stay and have some lunch?"
Li Nian hurriedly said, "I don't mind. It's a blessing for me to be able to eat at the same table with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The princess raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Nian Nian's personality is very similar to Madam Yun's, but..."
The princess frowned slightly and sighed, "He's thinner and darker."
Li Nian: …
What the princess meant was, is she ugly now?
Thinking back to when I was in the northwest, I always liked to bask in the sun. Except for summer, I basically lay on a rattan chair and basked in the sun leisurely throughout the year.
Getting a tan is inevitable.
As for losing weight, maybe it’s because pasta is not as fattening as rice?
In fact, she was a little fatter before Xiao Yunyu found her.
Ever since she was found by Xiao Yunyu, and with Jinhe to take care of, her exercise volume has increased.
She herself felt that it was better to lose weight, as she was so fat before that her belly was bulging.
Perhaps seeing that she didn't respond, the princess hurriedly added, "Don't misunderstand me, Nian Nian. I just feel that your current appearance makes me feel pity for you. I guess you must have suffered a lot before, right?"
Li Nian smiled politely, "Princess, you are telling the truth. There is nothing to misunderstand. I just have a question in my mind, and I hope Your Highness can answer it."
When the princess heard her distant address, she looked at her seriously and said, "I sincerely want to make friends with Nian Nian. If Nian Nian doesn't mind, please don't call me Princess. It seems strange. My name is Wan Tong."
She looked at her intently with obvious expectation in her eyes: "Niannian can call me Tongtong."
When Li Nian heard her words, she felt inexplicably embarrassed, and her fingers on her legs unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt.
This name is a bit too intimate. She and the princess are not that familiar.
"Nian Nian, are you unwilling?" The princess lowered her eyes, hiding her sadness and said calmly, "I am being rude. Nian Nian, please call me whatever you think is more reasonable. There is no need to be embarrassed."
Li Nian felt ashamed after hearing this.
Although for the princess, this might be the first time they meet.
However, from her perspective, she and Her Royal Highness the Princess were quite familiar with each other, and she had received much care from Her Royal Highness the Princess when she was in the capital.
Li Nian picked at her toes in embarrassment and whispered, "Tongtong."
Li Nian still felt it was inappropriate after she shouted it out, and hurriedly said, "Princess, please don't blame me. I grew up in the northwest and I really don't know the etiquette. I hope Your Highness won't hold it against me."
"How could that be!" The princess' voice brightened, and she added, "I'm very happy to be friends with Nian Nian. From now on, you don't need to call yourself a commoner in front of me."
"Since we are friends, we can just call each other by name from now on." She picked up the teacup on the table with her slender fingers, picked up the teapot with the other hand, and poured two cups of fragrant tea with elegant and calm movements.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Come on, let's drink to the friendship we've made today!"
Li Nian was infected by her enthusiasm. He held up the teacup with both hands, looked at the princess with a slightly curved eye, and clinked glasses with her: "I am also very happy to be friends with Tongtong. Cheers to our friendship!"
The princess was a little stunned for a moment. She always felt that Madam Yun was much more cheerful when she returned to Beijing this time.
The princess responded with a bright smile.
At this time, the servant came to report: "Your Highness, Madam, lunch is ready. Please move to the Qionghua Pavilion."
The princess stood up first and said with a smile, "Nian Nian, shall we go together?"
Li Nian stood up immediately and said "hmm" softly.
The two followed the servants in the courtyard and continued north through the middle courtyard. When they arrived at the backyard, they saw a simple yet exquisite one-story house.
Different from the luxurious beauty of the central courtyard, many green bamboos are planted here, growing around the left and right sides of the two connected wing rooms.
This place seems quiet and elegant, with a feeling of a hermit who does not compete with the world.
The princess couldn't help but sigh: "Although Xiao Yunyu has a bad temper and character, he is indeed good at making money, and his ability to spend money for pleasure is even more impressive."
Li Nian disagreed with the first point raised by the princess.
But she agreed with the last two sentences of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Xiao Yunyu was already so rich that she couldn't even count or understand how much he had.
The layout of this house is enough to show that Xiao Yunyu is a person who is willing to spend money to enjoy himself.
The princess suddenly stopped in front of a dark brown wooden door and asked doubtfully, "Behind this wall should be Hibiscus Pavilion, right? Then this door...can lead to the backyard of Hibiscus Pavilion?"
Li Nian was naturally not as familiar with the location of the capital as the princess.
Previously, I only guessed that the street behind this house was a brothel, but I didn't expect that this house actually had a door that led directly to Furong Pavilion?
