Chapter 36 Cousin
The eldest princess covered her lips and smiled, "Why not?" The woman is strong and the man is weak.
The old tutor stood up angrily and asked, "Did the princess have the same idea at the beginning?"
"Are you blaming me for not being considerate and not doing it for you?"
The eldest princess was stunned. How did this involve her? "No, you are enough for me." No one can coax her.
The old tutor blew his beard and glared at her, the servants in the room laughed secretly, and the prince consort was jealous regardless of age.
The next morning, Chen Shurong got up early, put on some simple makeup, and before the Princess arrived, she quickly asked someone to arrange a carriage to leave the house.
Xie Yunzhao had dark circles under his eyes today. Rongrong hadn't come for three days, so he didn't sleep well. Last night, he couldn't sleep because of the news Qingying brought back.
Sitting at the round table to eat breakfast, I had no appetite.
In his mind, one moment he saw her hugging him and giving him a purse, and the next moment he saw her telling Xie Yun that she treated him as her brother.
When Chen Shurong came, Qingzhu Qingying was not as enthusiastic as yesterday.
He wasn't unwelcoming. He greeted the guest politely and invited him into the house. It's just that the expression on his face was too dull, as if he was treating him as an ordinary guest.
Sui Han Yinzhi also found something wrong. In the past, tea and snacks were served, and Qingzhu and Qingying were there to chat. But today, there were only tea and snacks, and people were guarding outside the door diligently.
Shen Shurong entered the room, and they were alone. She thought he would hug her shamelessly and make the same excuse as last night, which was ready-made.
As a result, she was asked to sit on the couch politely. There was a square table between them, which was filled with her favorite snacks and fruits.
Chen Shurong looked at Xie Yunzhao, then at the square table. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. Had everything become orderly overnight?
Could it be that what Xie Yun said about him last night touched his heart?
"Brother Yun Zhao, are you not in pain?"
"Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore." Xie Yunzhao sat with his eyes downcast, his heart tormented. He didn't want to make things difficult for her, he wanted to tell her...if she didn't want to get close to him, don't force it.
If you don't want to come, you don't have to come. There's no need to worry about him suspecting anything.
But I couldn't bear to say it, for fear that if I did, she would really not come.
Something is wrong. Shen Shurong knows him. Let alone Xie Yunzheng, even if Duke Lu says something to him, he won't care, let alone listen.
What happened? Hiding it from her?
She stood up and walked around the room twice.
Xie Yunzhao didn't know what she was doing and stared at her.
She was dressed in a purple, flowing brocade dress today, and she walked with a nimble and bright look. Her hairpins and rings were not as complicated as before, probably because she was in a hurry to leave.
Xie Yunzhao didn't want to take his eyes off her for a moment.
Until Shen Shurong walked to the door of the room, he stood up suddenly, his tone anxious and fearful: “Rongrong, where are you going?”
Chen Shurong turned around and smiled, "I see you don't say anything and you don't feel any pain, so there's not much point for me to stay here." He pretended to open the door and leave.
Xie Yunzhao walked over quickly, pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck, and didn't want her to leave.
How could her significance here be insignificant?
It's him, greedy for her!
Feeling his breath spraying on his neck, the man's body trembled slightly. Shen Shurong didn't know what he was worried about, "What happened?"
Xie Yunzhao shook his head, feeling uncomfortable. Was he forcing her by following his heart?
Chen Shurong suddenly had an idea. Maybe Xie Yunzheng also went to him and said it was useless.
So, he listened?
No wonder the master and his servants all had wrong attitudes today.
In everyone's eyes, Xie Yunzhao is not as good as Xie Yunzheng, and is even not as good as the academy students with average qualifications. At least he just studies peacefully and doesn't come out to cause trouble.
If she explained at this time, saying that the person she liked was him and that she hated Xie Yunzheng, not only would he not believe it, but she was afraid that no one in the entire Great Zhou would believe it.
She was especially happy and had been Xie Yunzheng's fiancée for four years.
She wasn't angry that he didn't trust her now.
However, I couldn't give him enough confidence. Just a few words from Xie Yunzheng made him lose his judgement. It was my fault that I didn't do my job well.
Not enough preference given.
"I was afraid my mother would come and watch me again, so I ran out early in the morning and didn't even have breakfast."
Xie Yunzhao felt nervous. How could he go without breakfast?
"I wanted to come to your place, but Sui Han said that...the Duke's wife would laugh at me, so I had breakfast at Xu's and came back when the time was almost right."
Xie Yunzhao took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling noticeably.
If she didn't want to come, she could just wait for the Princess to go, and then she would have an excuse not to come.
But she didn't. Instead, she got up early on purpose to avoid her mother and didn't even dare to have breakfast at home.
In Xie Yunzhao's mind, the two little guys were fighting madly, was this forced?
Is it difficult?
Chen Shurong supported his chest and looked up at him: "Brother Yun Zhao, who am I? From childhood to adulthood, have you ever seen me wrong myself for anyone?"
Xie Yunzhao shook her head. She was the Princess Yongjia of the Eldest Princess's Mansion. The Third Princess and the Crown Prince had to show courtesy to her when they met her. His Majesty also granted her a Princess' Mansion. She didn't need to pretend in front of him, or even be perfunctory.
The man was extremely delighted by her explanation, and his arms around her waist tightened a little.
Staring at her bright peach eyes and her small cherry lips opening and closing, he was filled with joy.
His gaze was as hot as fire, as if she was in Laozi's alchemy furnace, and she felt weak all over from the heat.
Shen Shurong couldn't suppress her love, she stood on tiptoes and kissed the corner of his lips.
A light touch made the man's heart flutter, Rongrong kissed him, this was not an act.
Xie Yunzhao's mouth suddenly became dry and he licked his lips. Could he also...
Thinking of this, he slowly lowered his head, Shen Shurong pursed his lips, his cheeks all red, was he going to kiss him?
Tilt your head back slightly and close your eyes.
When Xie Yunzhao saw this, his heart beat rapidly as if he was encouraged.
Rongrong doesn't mind...
Dangdang——
When the four lips were only a finger's distance apart, there was a knock on the door.
The two of them quickly stood apart, their faces red all the way to their necks.
"What's the matter?" Anger flashed in Xie Yunzhao's eyes. He wanted to see who was ruining his plans.
"Second Master, your cousin is here to see you."
Shen Shurong turned to look at him. Where did this cousin come from?
"It's my third aunt's cousin Li Shuang, who arrived yesterday afternoon."
Shen Shurong frowned, why did she enter the capital at this time?
She remembered that Li Shuang came when she and Xie Yun were competing for their wedding, and lived in the Duke of Lu's Mansion for two years.
At first, she thought she was trying to get Xie Yun to be her concubine, but no one had ever mentioned this to her, and the two of them had a good relationship, and Shuangshuang often came to talk to her.
Later, she was taken back by her third aunt and got married, and they had less contact since then.
I was very happy to see my old friend in advance, but now I had to pretend that I didn't know him well. "He must be here to visit you. Please come in."
“Okay.” Xie Yunzhao now knew that Shen Shurong didn’t hate him, so he was in a good mood and his voice was much lighter: “Please come in, cousin.”
