Si Jinyue used to like hearing this sentence the most!
The prince is here!
But today, she...
As soon as she heard these two words, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead!
As the princess, Si Jinyue naturally had to bring Zheng Liu and the others to welcome Qi Nanyan.
She stood up tremblingly, but could not lift her feet at all. She had to rely on Chunyu's strength to barely support herself and salute.
Qi Nanyue strode into the room with a smile that was as warm as spring breeze on his face.
He scanned the faces of the three people one by one.
Finally, he looked at Zheng Ranran, and said with some praise in his tone:
“It’s right to go out more often!”
Zheng Ranran looked at the man with eyes full of tenderness, but she no longer felt any joy.
She looked away, nodded, and didn't even want to say a word.
How could she forget?
In order to gain the power of the Si family, he could be so cold-blooded as to watch his own child lose, while letting the murderer do nothing!
Seeing that Zheng Ranran ignored him, Qi Nanyan reached out to support Concubine Liu and said:
"You're pregnant, there's no need to work so hard!"
Concubine Liu took the opportunity to crawl into her own prince's arms and said with a happy smile:
"Yes, thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I'll take note of it! But I was just talking about it with the Princess today..."
Seeing that Concubine Liu was about to tell what had just happened, Si Jinyue was so scared that she staggered and lost her balance. Fortunately, she was supported by Chunyu beside her.
Qi Nanyue nodded, and finally looked at Si Jinyue who lowered her eyes and remained silent, his thick brows tightly furrowed.
Normally, whenever his princess saw him, she would be eager to be in his presence. What happened today?
He asked doubtfully:
"The princess is not feeling well, why does she look so unhappy?"
Si Jinyue's name was suddenly called, and she whispered:
"I just didn't get enough rest. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
Seeing this, Chunyu gritted his teeth and saluted:
"My lord, my princess had a headache early this morning, and I didn't want to send the two concubines on a wasted trip, so I managed to say a few words."
After hearing what the master and servant said, Qi Nanyue looked at Si Jinyue who seemed to be dizzy, and suddenly felt that she was pretending and playing tricks!
He was unhappy and his face looked frighteningly dark!
He was about to open his mouth to scold her, but suddenly he heard Si Jinyue's trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, I am disrespectful, please punish me.
The truth is, I dreamed of my second sister last night. In the dream, she accidentally fell into the river, and no matter how I called her, she wouldn't listen.
I wanted to save her, but I found myself getting farther and farther away from her.
I slept very restlessly that night, which led to the attack of my headache.
Now that the prince has arrived, the two sisters will be left to his care.
I will take my leave first!"
When Qi Nanyue heard this, he was about to scold her, but he couldn't say it anymore.
He looked at Si Jinyue and saw two lines of tears rolling down her face!
He actually forgot for a moment that the woman was the princess's biological sister!
Qi Nanyan felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart and waved his hands, saying:
"Since you are not feeling well, go back and rest early!"
Zheng Ranran, who was standing by, heard this and a hint of doubt flashed across her lowered eyes.
The prince's expression just now clearly showed that he would be filled with thunderous rage in the next moment!
But when Si Jinyue mentioned her second sister, the prince calmed down?
The second young lady of the Si family must be the Princess of Anping who has been married to King Mo Ying, right?
But what does she have to do with her own prince?
At this time, the second daughter of the Si family, Si Jinxing, rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked with a pout:
"Zi Su, why is it so noisy outside?"
Seeing her young lady being woken up, Zi Su was displeased and said, "It's because someone is selling slaves on the deck outside!"
Qingchan wet the handkerchief and asked Si Jinxing to wipe his face, saying:
"Most of the people coming and going on this ship are merchants, and someone has set his sights on these merchants!
Knowing that the merchants were all rich, he got some pretty boys and girls on the boat.
It's boring to travel on this boat for three days, so there are a lot of people watching.
If you meet a man who likes this, you might be able to sell several of them at once!
But if the shop doesn't open, the people in the pawnshop will attack those children and beat them severely!
If people look at it with pity, maybe someone will be moved and buy it!"
As soon as Qing Chan finished speaking, he heard a scream coming from far away outside the cabin!
Si Jinxing woke up immediately. How could this be a pawnbroker?
This is clearly selling people like animals!
As far as she knew, all the dental clinics in Jianzhou were very formal!
In order to get a good price for the slaves they have, most slave brokers will provide them with good food and clothing.
How come there are still pawnshops that don't treat people as human beings?
But she couldn't control this matter, and she couldn't control it.
Si Jinxing put on her clothes, washed her hands and face, and sat at a small round table. She looked at the two dry buns that Song Xiner took out of the package, and she really had no appetite.
She walked to a storage box she had specially prepared, secretly stroked the orchid mark on her wrist, and quietly took out a can of fruit cereal and a can of milk powder from Xinglin Yaxu.
Naturally, she had already transferred the cereal and milk powder into porcelain jars, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Make a cup of milk powder and add some fruit cereal to make a nutritious breakfast.
The three maids were stunned. When did their young lady prepare these things?
Song Xiner felt very guilty for not being able to prepare a more delicious breakfast for the young lady.
After Si Jinxing finished breakfast, she thought about going to see Li and Chang Kui.
After all, on the surface, they are traveling as a family.
Si Jinxing put on her veiled hat and took Qingchan out of the cabin.
But before she took two steps, she heard someone behind her call her: "Miss, please wait a moment!"
Upon hearing the voice, Si Jinxing stopped and looked back, and saw that the person was the woman in red who came to ask for roast chicken last night!
She nodded slightly and said, "I wonder why you called me over, young lady?"
The woman in red smiled cheerfully, her bright eyes twinkling like stars, and said:
"I have no friends on the boat, and remembering that I asked the young ladies for a chicken last night, I thought I would treat the two young ladies to a meal when we get ashore.
As the saying goes, give and take is the way to make friends!
I wonder where you live, and what should I call you?"
Si Jinxing became more cautious and said:
"It's just a chicken, nothing to worry about, girl, don't take it to heart!
As the saying goes, if destiny leads to a meeting, why should you bother with the past, young lady? "
Anyone could hear that this was a clear refusal to make friends.
But the woman in red glanced around and smiled slightly:
"Miss, you are indeed a person of good nature. I will not bother you any more."
After hearing this, Si Jinxing was about to say goodbye and leave, but suddenly heard a burst of rough cursing!
Immediately afterwards, something rolled heavily to her feet with a clang!
