Chapter 195 Shuttlecock
Qi Shuo firmly grasped Lin Hao's hand.
Lin Hao landed on the ground and glanced around casually: "Are you alone?"
In the past, there were always servants when we climbed over the wall.
Qi Shuo smiled and said, "I'm just taking a walk, I didn't bring any servants with me."
At this time, a voice came: "Girl——"
Lin Hao quickly pulled his hand away.
Baozhu clung to the wall and asked earnestly, "Do you want me to come down?"
Lin Hao nodded nonchalantly: "Come down."
The little maid smiled and jumped down nimbly.
"The prince and I have something to say. Please wait here."
Baozhu responded crisply.
"Let's go over there." Lin Hao pointed to the rose stand not far away.
It's a good place to have a quiet conversation.
The two walked over and stopped, looking at each other. Lin Hao couldn't help but smile: "Time flies. We chatted here last year."
At that time, she never thought that the prince she thought was a sickly child would become her lover.
"Have you heard about how Princess Lingque stole Princess Yi'an's consort?"
"I heard about it." Qi Shuo pushed aside the branches blocking his view, revealing a bench. "Sit down and talk."
Lin Hao patted the stool in confusion and sat down: "I didn't notice before, is there a stool here?"
"It's been here for a long time." Qi Shuo said without changing his expression.
Last year, Chunri and Ah Hao talked here, and he felt that there was a lack of a bench here.
It has indeed existed for a long time.
"Princess Lingque was supposed to be the consort of Prince Wei, but because she was hit on the head by a rock, Yang Zhuangyuan became the prince consort. This is a huge change." Lin Hao held his chin and asked the person sitting next to him, "Prince, do you think there will be any changes in the relationship between Princess Lingque and Yang Zhuangyuan?"
"It's hard to say." Qi Shuo raised the corner of his lips, "Ah Hao, can't you just calculate it?"
Lin Hao was stunned at first, then punched him: "Qi Shuo!"
Qi Shuo grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "'Qi Shuo' sounds better than 'Prince'. Just call me by my name from now on."
Lin Hao's anger didn't last even a moment, a blush crept up her cheeks: "It's not nice to call someone by their name."
It doesn't count when you're angry.
"Anyway, don't call me Prince." Prince Jing, who was always calm and reserved in front of outsiders, showed some childishness at this rare moment.
Lin Hao shifted his gaze to the blooming flowers, around which colorful butterflies were dancing.
"Then I'll call you Ah Shuo."
Qi Shuo curved his lips and said, "Okay. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lin Hao was speechless: "Didn't I just say that?"
"What have you been busy with at home these days?" He quickly changed the subject.
"Making floral dew." When Lin Hao mentioned what he was busy with, his eyes were burning and he raised his hand.
The wide green sleeves slid down like water waves, and a white wrist that was as white as snow was handed to Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo froze for a moment.
What is Ah Hao going to do?
"Do you smell it?" Seeing that he didn't respond, Lin Hao withdrew his hand and lowered his head to sniff.
The faint scent of roses lingers in the nose for a long time.
"The fragrance lasts much longer than the floral dew on the market, and it smells better too. It will definitely be popular..." Lin Hao said excitedly.
Her flower dew shop will definitely make more money than the restaurant she opened with Ah Shuo in the future. Maybe she can even support the restaurant if it goes out of business.
Lin Hao has never had much hope for the restaurant, whose dividends have not yet exceeded twenty taels of silver.
Qi Shuo's expression remained unchanged. In fact, he didn't hear what was said at all. There were only two words in his mind: regret.
If I give him another chance, he will definitely not stand there like an idiot.
"Isn't it fragrant?" Lin Hao extended his wrist again, and seeing Qi Shuo's expression become even more dull, he withdrew his doubts and asked, "Is there something wrong with your sense of smell?"
Baozhu and her sister both said it smelled good.
Qi Shuo pinched himself hard.
If he were given another chance - well, he still wouldn't dare.
Qi Shuo realized that he was an honest man, and his mind started working again.
"It smells great. When will the flower dew shop open? Have you thought of a name?"
"The earliest it will be open is next month. I'm thinking of calling the store 'Fragrance-Free'."
"Wuxiang?" Qi Shuo thought the name was a bit strange. "If I sell flower dew and call myself Wuxiang, will customers come?"
"Do you know what the original name of the store was?"
Qi Shuo shook his head.
Lin Hao sighed: "Lin's Powder Shop!"
Qi Shuo couldn't help but laugh: "Then Wuxiang is indeed better."
"That's right!"
The two of them were talking and laughing in low voices when they suddenly heard someone shout, "Aren't you Baozhu, the girl next to Miss Lin Er? Why are you here?"
It was Changshun's voice.
Lin Hao and Qi Shuo looked at each other and peered through the gaps between the petals.
Changshun walked quickly to Baozhu with a vigilant look on his face.
The little maid who was caught said calmly: "I'm looking for something."
"What are you looking for?" Changshun looked suspicious.
He suspected that Miss Lin Er had jumped over the wall again!
"Looking for the shuttlecock. I was playing shuttlecock in the garden just now and accidentally kicked it over here. Strange, where is it?" Baozhu ignored Changshun and bent down to look for it.
Changshun put his hands in his pockets, a sneer on his lips.
I just want to see you pretending!
"Found it!" A cheer rang out, and Baozhu waved a colorful chicken feather shuttlecock towards Changshun.
Changshun was stunned.
Did he really kick the shuttlecock over here?
"Then I'll go back first. Sorry to bother you." Baozhu waved her hand, took a few steps and climbed onto the top of the wall. Soon her nimble figure disappeared from Changshun's sight.
Changshun felt extremely complicated.
Even though she was looking for a chicken feather shuttlecock, this girl was so skillful in climbing over the wall. She is truly a servant who resembles her master!
"Changshun, what are you standing there for?" Changning came over and patted his dazed friend.
Changshun pointed at the wall and said, "Just now, Miss Lin's maid came over to look for the shuttlecock—"
Chang Ning seemed not to have heard him and interrupted him: "Hurry up and find the prince, he is still waiting."
"Yes, yes, let's go find the prince. Where would the prince go if he's not in the garden?"
The two servants left in a hurry.
Behind the flower stand, Lin Hao pushed Qi Shuo and said, "I'm going back now. You should go see the prince. I don't know what the prince wants to see you about."
"Come play chess with me, I guess."
Lin Hao thought about what the prince had done and showed sympathy: "It's hard for you."
"Fortunately, more contact is not a bad thing."
Only by understanding the enemy better can we make appropriate judgments.
"Where did Baozhu get the shuttlecock?" Qi Shuo couldn't help but ask when they parted.
Lin Hao smiled sweetly: "Baozhu likes to carry some small gadgets with her."
Qi Shuo nodded: "No wonder."
No wonder Changshun was fooled.
"Then I'll be leaving. Prince, if anything happens, remember to tell me."
Lin Hao climbed over the wall and returned to the general's mansion, where Baozhu was waiting.
"Miss, do you want to play shuttlecock?" The little maid asked with a smile, holding up a beautiful chicken feather shuttlecock.
"good."
Baozhu smiled, threw the shuttlecock and kicked it towards Lin Hao.
Lin Hao caught it steadily and kicked it upwards with force.
Qi Shuo stood at the other end of the wall and saw the colorful shuttlecock flying high, then disappearing in an instant, and then flying up again in an instant, rising and falling as if kicking him in the heart.
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and strode towards the front yard.
