awakening
"To... Zuo Yuanwu?"
Wen Rencuo choked up when he heard this, not knowing what he was thinking about, and his eyes slightly turned away.
I've heard that Madam Jing likes handsome men with romantic temperaments, but I didn't expect that even after she got married with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she still hasn't changed her preference.
From this it can be seen that Si Pei is really broad-minded and extraordinary.
Wenren Cuo originally didn't like the prince very much, but now he couldn't help but have a little more respect for him.
"Hey, isn't it my freedom to give it to anyone I want? Who do you two want to buy it for?"
No matter which of the two Jing Yaos in front of him looked at each other, he felt annoyed. He frowned and snorted, "Are you going to buy the hairpin from the east of the city or not? You don't need me to buy it."
Si Jue had no interest in competing with her for the hairpin. He smiled and pretended to be noble and polite: "Since it is the one that cousin Ling Yi loves, how can I steal it away from her?"
Wen Rencuo stood aside, watching coldly from the side, snorting disdainfully at the hypocritical Si Jue. This person hadn't been like this when she'd tried to snatch the Xuantan Flower Hairpin from him just now.
"That's good." Jing Yao didn't care whether they were sincere or not, as long as no one competed with her for it.
No one in Shanghua City dares to compete with her, Jing Yao. This time, they both know what's good for them.
Jing Yao turned around and looked at the sisters behind her: "How are you picking here?"
Huo Zhuxin raised her hand and revealed the Zhufang flower: "I've chosen."
Jiang Jing was stunned for a moment, then looked left and right, thought for a while and said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, I can go to the one in the east of the city to pick one out first."
Jiang Min, who had just bumped into her beloved, shyly clenched the hairpin in her hand and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I can do anything."
As he spoke, he secretly raised his eyes to glance at Wen Renyou who was standing opposite him.
"Okay, then, Your Highness Prince Lin and the two generals, we will take our leave."
Si Jue nodded and smiled, but the smile was somewhat stiff. Wen Rencuo seemed to want to say something but felt it was inappropriate, so he held it back.
Among the four men present, only the youngest, Wen Renyou, could not hide the truth and stared straight at Jiang Min.
The young man had just been pulled over by his fourth brother and severely "educated". After learning the inside story from his younger brother, Wen Renju smiled with relief and deliberately pushed his younger brother forward.
"Well, well... I'll go with you. I want to pick out a gift too..."
Wen Renyou first looked at Jing Yao, the leader of the four, for his approval. His innocent yet carefree smile couldn't hide the redness on the tips of his ears and the youthful nervousness in his words. Jing Yao's gaze shifted from him to Jiang Wen's face, as if he was watching a show. "I think... let's ask Ah Wen."
As the elder sister, Jiang Jing also enjoyed watching her younger sister's fun, so she leaned over and asked again, "Awen, do you want to bring the Fifth Young Master with you?"
“…Yeah…Okay.”
"Hahahaha!" Jing Yao was really amused by the little thoughts of these boys and girls. He waved his hand and decided to help the two of them: "Then the Fifth Young Master will come with us to the east of the city."
"good!"
Wen Renyou seemed to be responding to Jing Yao, but in fact he had already arrived next to Jiang Min.
Fourth brother Wenren Ju clenched his fist to cover the corners of his mouth that were about to smile, while Wenren Cuo looked solemn and used his eyes to remind his younger brother not to lose face in front of a girl.
It was difficult to tell what Si Jue's expression was like, and he looked like he was planning something.
She folded her folding fan and put on a smiling face again: "Madam Jiang Er and Mr. Wenren are truly a match made in heaven. I think they are a perfect match."
Wen Renyou laughed even more happily after hearing this. Jiang Wen, perhaps because she had been teased so many times just now, was not so embarrassed. She just looked up and gave Si Jue a shy smile.
"Mrs. Jiang's heat rash has healed very well. There's not a single trace left." Si Jue said with concern. "A woman's face is precious. If it's really hurt, it's a serious matter."
"ah?"
Jiang Min didn't react for a moment and subconsciously looked at the sisters around her.
Huo Zhuxin was the first to realize what Si Jue was talking about. "A-wen, this is just a seasonal heat rash. It's not a serious condition. It will go away soon after taking the medicine. If it weren't for His Highness's concern and mentioning it, we would have almost forgotten about it."
Jing Yao silently glanced at Huo Zhuxin, feeling deeply grateful. Fortunately, Zhuxin was there.
She had a bad memory and almost forgot about running into Si Jue at Yue Ningning's funeral a few days ago.
Speaking of it, the matter of Yue Ningning's Yushan Bookstore was quietly exposed, and there was no discussion among the people within a few days.
It seems that Si Jue didn't create any momentum after committing a murder. Could it be that she overestimated Si Jue?
After all, it was the imperial city, under the feet of the emperor. How could he really stir up trouble under Si Pei's control? In fact, without Yue Ningning, he couldn't stir up any trouble.
Jing Yao felt helpless in his heart. Si Jue's act of forcing Yue Ningning to death was really a self-defeating move.
She shook her head slightly, then turned around and suddenly met Si Jue's gaze.
He didn't know when he was staring at him. Through the white veil, Jing Yao could only see a pair of eyes that showed no concealment of his fierce and aggressive expression.
She couldn't help but feel a chill.
The young man smiled, and suddenly he returned to his gentle and handsome appearance.
"In that case, I will take my leave now."
Si Jue raised his hand and opened the folding fan with a bamboo and crane pattern, gently draped it over his chest, and nodded slightly. Everyone watched him leave, but each had their own thoughts.
Jiang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Wen, realizing belatedly that she had been exposed, looked annoyed and was comforted by her sister. Huo Zhu looked at the silent Jing Yao with a worried look on his face.
She just stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
The look in Si Jue's eyes just now was so similar to the look in his eyes on the last night of his previous life...
Jing Yao felt cold all over. Fortunately, Jiang Jing noticed her nervousness and took the initiative to hug her and comfort her: "What's wrong, Lingyi?"
"No, nothing."
Jing Yao smiled. Not wanting to worry her sisters, she waved her hand and said casually, "Let's go to the east side of the city. I'll pay for everything today. You can choose whatever you want."
"Okay!" Jiang Jing was just waiting for her to say this. "I have two things I like in my shop. I'll take them first."
"Take whatever you want!"
Jing Yao generously waved his hand to signal her to get it. After amusing the little sisters, their nervous and sad expressions finally relaxed a little.
It’s okay, Si Jue won’t live long anyway.
As long as we get rid of him, everything will be over.
Thinking of the comfortable days in the future, Jing Yao let out a long sigh and couldn't help but smile to herself, not noticing that someone was watching her.
Wen Rencuo couldn't see Jing Yao's appearance and expression clearly, and could only guess from her demeanor that she was in a good mood.
He thought a lot of things in his mind, but in the end he didn't say them out loud.
Seeing his younger brother leaving behind the girl, Wen Renju couldn't help but shake his head and smile helplessly: "Ayou, this guy, looks like he can get married earlier than us brothers."
Wen Rencuo frowned: "They are still young."
"Brother, do you think everyone is still unmarried at the age of 23 like you? Ah You will be 16 after his birthday this year, and Second Lady Jiang is one year younger than him. According to the customs in Beijing, it is normal for two people to talk about marriage at this age."
Wen Renju sighed again, "Nowadays, every young man and woman in every family gets engaged at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Our Wen family is special; all of them are bachelors."
The first four young masters of the Wen family are still unmarried, not because they look down on others or because they are not liked by girls. On the contrary, the second son Wenren Yao and the third son Wenren Yu are both very popular handsome men, but unfortunately they are not interested in this.
The eldest brother, Wenren Cuo, had been fighting on the battlefield for 23 years and had no time to get married. Rumors circulated that he was cruel and prone to domestic violence, so no family dared to propose marriage. The second brother, Wenren Yao, was renowned for his handsomeness, but was busy with government affairs and claimed to have no desires. The third brother, Wenren Yu, walked through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on him.
Needless to say, Wenren Ju himself was a man who talked big but did nothing. He said he was most worried about marriage but did not dare to get close to any girl. There were even rumors that he was a homosexual, which made him so angry that he added two more training sessions for the soldiers in the camp.
"I'm really happy for Ah You, right? Men from our Wen family aren't very good at chasing girls. Ah You is lucky to have met Madam Jiang Er."
Wen Renju said the words of blessing, but there was a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice.
"By the way, big brother, don't you still need to pick out a gift for your sweetheart? You don't have the Xuantan flower hairpin anymore, what are you going to buy?"
Wen Rencuo was awakened from his deep thoughts by a question from his fourth brother. Looking around, he suddenly said to the shopkeeper, "Find a blue eagle orchid hairpin."
"Blue... wouldn't the pink eagle orchid look better?"
Wen Renju has not forgotten the pink eagle orchid he has been thinking about. Since he wants to choose an eagle orchid to represent his own family, why not choose the pink one? It is more suitable for a charming and lovely girl.
He looked at his eldest brother in confusion, who smiled and said, "She likes blue."
"I see."
Wen Renju nodded as if he understood, and suddenly a blue figure flashed through his mind.
His clever mind worked for a while, and he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
The East Palace was still quiet at night. Jing Yao felt extremely tired after wandering around outside all day, so he soaked in the bathtub to relax as soon as he came back.
After the two personal maids dried her, Jing Yao suddenly asked them to just put on their underwear.
"Miss, you haven't had dinner yet."
The fragrance of the petals in the pool was refreshing, and Jing Yao was so comfortable after soaking in the steaming hot water for so long that she lost track of time. She only felt her head getting more and more dizzy. "Never mind, I'm so sleepy that I just want to sleep."
What else to eat...I don't want to eat anymore!
Anyway, you won’t die if you skip a meal.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Jing Yao, Bo Yue naturally didn't dare to force her. She followed her wishes, put on her inner clothes and wrapped herself in a cloak, and went to the couch.
"Hmm...comfortable..."
As soon as Jing Yao lay down, he felt his tired feet became much more comfortable, and he rolled over twice in ecstasy.
The sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and the figure finally appeared after passing the screen. The young man in the dark blue brocade robe looked at Jing Yao, who was lying drowsy on the couch with the brocade quilt messed up, with half doting and half helplessness, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Yaoyao."
He sat down beside the couch and gently stroked her hair.
