Chapter 98 The Young Man with Beautiful Eyes and Face

"Xiao Qi..."

Jiang Yuan was shocked by the aura of this little man, and it took her a while to come to her senses, "Why are you here?"

On the second day after she married Han Gaojie, she went to the palace to thank Lu Huai for his kindness. In the Changle Palace of Empress Lu, she left an unforgettable impression on Lu Huai.

That day, Empress Lu also invited Miss Shu from the residence of Zuodu Yushi to the palace to appreciate the chrysanthemums.

Lu Huai conjured up a snake from nowhere, with an innocent look on his face, and waved to Miss Shu, "Sister Shu, I have something good to show you."

Judging from his appearance alone, Lu Huai is a very well-behaved and likable type, fair and pretty, like the boy sitting under the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, very deceptive.

Miss Shu was not on guard and leaned over to take a look, and then the whole hall was echoed with Miss Shu's roar.

It was a real roar.

Jiang Yuan saw with her own eyes a small green snake coiled around Miss Shu's right arm.

Miss Shu was so frightened that she totally ignored her manners and screamed and jumped, startling all the palace maids.

Lu Xiaoqi stood aside, looking aggrieved, "I thought Sister Shu would like my Xiaoqing."

Jiang Yuan stood aside and watched the show at first, but the damn Miss Shu actually jumped and shook the little snake away. Then she watched helplessly as the little green snake jumped over the people in the hall and landed on her!

The one who roared became her.

Unfortunately, she was not as lucky as Miss Shu. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the snake. In the end, it was a brave young eunuch who took the snake off her back.

When she got home that night, Jiang Yuan had nightmares all night long.

But Han Gaojie had no sympathy for her suffering and even blamed her for losing her composure in front of the Empress.

No one understands more deeply than Jiang Yuan the viciousness and terror behind Lu Huai's smiling face.

So when she saw him, she couldn't help shaking.

She is pregnant now.

He couldn't withstand Lu Huai's torture at all.

"I thought it was someone else's aunt, but it turned out to be you." Lu Huai tilted his head, his innocent face full of curiosity, "Who did you not allow to leave just now? My sister Wen?"

"No, it isn't."

Since Jiang Yuan married into the Princess's mansion, she has learned a lot of lessons and is no longer as impulsive as the daughter of a noble family. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "It's me. I'm leaving. I'm saying goodbye to your sister Wen."

Lu Huai said with a smile, "It's a pity that I didn't bring Xiaoqing with me. She likes you the most. I will bring Xiaoqing to see you next time."

The thought of that cool and slippery thing crawling on her body frightened Jiang Yuan so much that she lost her soul. She didn't care about her face anymore and walked out with slipping feet. "No, it's not necessary. I'm leaving now and I won't come again."

The group of little sisters she brought with her also followed closely behind her and left in shame.

Every evildoer will receive his due punishment.

Nian Xi gave Lu Huaishu a thumbs up and praised him, "Great."

Lu Haohan nodded humbly, "Where, where."

"Who is Xiaoqing?" Wang Muyi was most curious about this.

Jiang Yuan was almost scared to death just now.

"It's a little green snake I raised. It's very cute. Do you want to play with it?"

Wang Muyi shuddered immediately. She was most afraid of those boneless, spooky things. "No need."

Lu Huai was just a kid after all, and he immediately showed some complacency, and asked Nian Xi, "Are you afraid?"

There are few girls who are not afraid of these things.

But this little brat couldn't be obeyed, he had to be discouraged, so Nian Xi said calmly, "How old is Xiaoqing? What breed? What does he eat on a daily basis?"

This question stumped Lu Haohan.

He raised worms, not out of love, but just to scare those young ladies who were delusional about becoming his stepmother. Who knows the age of a snake and what its hobbies are.

So he half believed it and half doubted it, "Are you really not afraid?"

Nian Xi was willing to follow his words this time, "A little bit."

Lu Huai was now more convinced that Nian Xi was "one of his own". Earlier, when his father had dragged him to confront her, Nian Xi had not betrayed him, and Lu Huai had always remembered this kindness in his heart.

Nian Xi looked behind him and asked, "Why did you come out alone again?"

"My young master, I am ordered to leave the palace."

Nian Xi naturally didn't believe it, but when she saw that he had servants following him, she felt relieved.

Lu Huai had just helped her, and Nian Xi asked, "What do you want to order today?"

"Almond yogurt, agarwood water, osmanthus syrup, rose pastry, cloud cake..."

There was tea and snacks. Wang Muyi smiled and said, "You know how to order, but there's so much, can you finish it?"

"If you can't finish it, take it with you."

The day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager heard from the Dowager that he had an upset stomach, so she called him to the palace and reprimanded him, forbidding him to use his body as a weapon again.

However, the Empress also promised that she would never let someone like Miss Shu, who had evil intentions, be his stepmother.

Lu Huai knew better than anyone else that the Empress loved him.

So today he came to "Fu Sheng Ban Hen" specifically to buy some good food for himself and bring it to the Empress.

But these were his private matters, and Lu Huai refused to say more. He changed the subject and said, "Last time I came here, there were people coming and going, and the house was full of guests. Why is it so deserted today?"

Nian Xi said calmly, "Maybe it's because it's cold and no one wants to go out."

Lu Huai's eyes rolled and he patted his chest loudly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Lu Haohan was full of heroic spirit. Although Nian Xi didn't believe that a little kid could do anything, she still followed his example and praised him a few words.

"I think you're pretty good."

While waiting for the tea, Lu Huai patted Nian Xi's arm. He was too short, and this was the limit of what he could do. "How about we become sworn brothers? If anyone dares to bully you in the future, you can just say I'm your seventh brother, how about that?"

In fact, Gu Ci had been gone for quite some time, and Nianxi had always felt that she had adapted well. She still lived her life seriously, but occasionally, at some gap, she would inadvertently look out the window, but the tall and straight figure smiling and waving at her would no longer appear on the street corner.

Her relatives and sisters were very concerned about her, including Pei Jian, who were all nervous and worried that she would be sad.

But Nianxi is mature enough now, she is no longer the little girl who will be sad because of Xu Wanxin's words. Love and affection are part of her life, but not everything.

But until this moment, when she was amused by Xiao Qi's innocent words, she vaguely realized that she had not been very happy these days. Those deliberately created illusions almost deceived even herself.

"Okay." Nian Xi responded readily, "How do we become sworn brothers? Oath of blood?"

"No, it's not necessary."

What Lu Huai likes most is being treated as an adult, and his interest is rising. "In the future, when there are outsiders, I will call you Sister Wen. If there are no outsiders, you can call me Seventh Brother."

Nian Xi suppressed her laughter and agreed.

When she returned home, she was in a much better mood than before.

My father and brother are at home.

Recently, everyone in the family has been trying to keep her company. Even Father Wen no longer goes out for appointments, and the family of four sits together for meals every day.

The capital city is not a very big place. At that time, Nian Xi and Gu Ci were good friends, and many people saw it. There were also many people who, like Jiang Yuan, slandered Nian Xi openly or secretly.

The family was afraid that these rumors would reach Nianxi's ears, which would make her even sadder, so they treated her with extra care these days.

The atmosphere at home was relaxed that day, and laughter could be heard in the corridor.

Nianxi walked inside and saw a handsome and elegant young man sitting upright in the hall, wearing a silver-grey robe. He had clear eyebrows and dark eyes, and was as bright and charming as snow jade in the mountains. He was a natural beauty, and even his whole body was surrounded by a layer of soft light.

When he saw her, the boy's delicate features became even more beautiful.

"Sister, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Don't you recognize me?"
