angry
"My lady, you have really misunderstood the prince!" Huang Ying said with a cheerful tone.
Jiang Yan was truly puzzled and confused.
She had just seen Shangguan Zeyu, who was as cold as ice. She begged him, she pleaded with him, she even knelt down before him, but he remained unmoved. How could he suddenly say such caring words to her before leaving?
Was this a lie that Huang Ying deliberately told to comfort her?
"Huang Ying, you're not allowed to lie! Tell me honestly, he didn't say those things!" Jiang Yan was afraid that she wouldn't see the subtle changes in Huang Ying's disguise, so she pressed her face close to Huang Ying's face, staring at her with eyes as big as copper bells, and staring intently at Huang Ying's gaze.
The oriole's eyes are round and bright, and when it's not smiling, they look like lychees.
She solemnly declared, "My lady, I swear to heaven! The prince really said that! I haven't uttered a single lie!!"
Huang Ying's expression was solemn and not frivolous at all, so after staring at her intently for a long time, Jiang Yan finally gave up his self-deception and accepted Huang Ying's words.
"Then why won't he say a single word to me?" With this question in mind, she slowly sat back down in the chair.
Huang Ying sighed and said, "My lady, even if the prince isn't called a prince, he's still a person. Think about it, if you put aside your important matters and excitedly went to the prince to share your joy, only to wait for him for most of the day and he still hadn't returned, wouldn't you be angry?"
Jiang Yan said guiltily, "I didn't ask him to drop everything to come find me!"
Huang Ying laughed and said, "That's why I understand that the prince has a temper, isn't it? My lord, please don't worry unnecessarily, everything will be alright. Didn't the prince say he'll come to see you again tomorrow?"
A slight smile finally appeared on Jiang Yan's face: "Hmph, that sounds nice, but it's probably just another way of lying!"
"We'll know tomorrow whether it's a lie or not. Your Highness, the nanny has cooked some porridge, and I'll bring it in for you right away."
Jiang Yan suddenly realized she was starving and said urgently, "Never mind that, let's fill our stomachs first! As long as we can live, that's all that matters!!"
Huang Ying smiled sweetly and ran out to bring her food.
It is unknown how Shangguan Zeyu felt that night, but Jiang Yan was in a great mood.
She drank three bowls of bird's nest and lotus seed porridge cooked by her nanny, ate two big red apples, and drank two large cups of ginseng tea before finally falling asleep contentedly.
She fell asleep around midnight, but woke up again around dawn.
Huang Ying lay on the soft couch, snoring softly from exhaustion. She grinned for a while, then quietly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and groped her way to put on her outer robe before sitting down at the round table in the room.
The outside was shrouded in mist, and the inside was also only vaguely visible.
Jiang Yan sat quietly in the chair, looking out the window at the courtyard, which was slightly brighter than the interior.
The wind rustled through the pear trees, and Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but recall the image of the pear trees swaying their branches and the sight of pear blossoms fluttering down from the trees.
Before she knew it, she had been in Zhouguo for almost half a year.
She originally thought she would have a hard time adapting to life in this dynasty, but unexpectedly, she had a strange feeling that she was born and raised in this Zhou Kingdom. In fact, many times, she would have a sudden realization that she was actually Liu Ruyi, but had forgotten her past.
With Chen Run, she could definitely get everything she wanted to know out of him if she tried a little harder, but she was in a difficult position with Shangguan Zeyu.
Shangguan Zeyu's recent attention on her has been far too intense, which is not good for what she is about to do.
He said he loved her, but she didn't believe him!
How could she believe that?
Before she arrived, so many women appeared around him, and each of them was far more beautiful and outstanding than her. Didn't he ever have any feelings for any of them?
If he is unmoved by any of them, yet he doesn't let any of them go, then what kind of person is he?
Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine, doesn't it?
Therefore, she didn't believe what he said, especially his seemingly heartfelt words.
Jiang Yan sighed deeply again. What she disliked most was being trapped by emotions. Even though she had never had a proper relationship so far, just reading novels and looking at the people around her made her hesitate.
Why must people have love?
Can't we live without love?
Jiang Yanqing couldn't help but sigh again. She needed to hurry up and finish what needed to be done so that she could leave this place and return to modern society by the New Year.
As Jiang Yan gazed at the gradually brightening night sky outside the window, her mind slowly went blank.
When she came to her senses again, Huang Ying had already woken up and said a lot of things.
"Master, why didn't you wake me up? If you need anything, you only need to call me."
"Why would I call you? You're sleeping so soundly, wouldn't it be weird for me to wake you up?" Jiang Yan took a deep breath, feeling refreshed and full of life again.
Huang Ying smiled with emotion: "My lady, this servant will help you with your grooming."
"No, thank you."
Huang Ying looked at her in puzzlement, then gave her a mysterious smile and said, "Doesn't he like me? Well, I'd like to see what he likes about me? My glamorous appearance, or my simple and honest heart!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Ying's expression changed drastically: "But my lord, this is a great disrespect to the prince!"
"Disrespectful? Humph! Don't worry, it's not like I went to him looking disheveled, he came to me on his own initiative! If we really want to talk about who's right and who's wrong, I'm definitely in the right."
"But Master, what if the Prince really gets angry?"
What should I do? This is exactly what I wanted!
"Let's take it one step at a time. If he's really angry just because I didn't dress up, then how hypocritical would he be? He wouldn't like me as a person, but something else! Don't worry, your master isn't stupid, and he doesn't want to die."
Although Huang Ying still didn't quite agree with her, she listened to her and went out to attend to other matters.
For some reason, Jiang Yan sighed again, then dragged her tired body to lie down on the soft couch.
After breakfast and lunch, it was almost noon, and Shangguan Zeyu still hadn't arrived. Jiang Yan's mood grew increasingly gloomy.
Huang Ying sat on the chair next to her, busy making purses. Jiang Yan stared blankly for a while, then said with some grievance.
"Why bother making sachets? Who are you going to give them to for Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Huang Ying sensed that she was preoccupied and looked at her with concern: "My lady, what's wrong? Are you tired?"
Jiang Yan sighed, but said nothing, instead looking out the window with a sense of loss.
Huang Ying followed her gaze and looked over. The open window framed half of the pear tree. The leaves of the pear tree were already turning a pale yellow. As she looked at it, her thoughts began to wander.
After a while, Jiang Yan said quietly, "Let's go see Chen Run again tomorrow."
Huang Ying's eyes widened in panic, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if the Prince...?"
Jiang Yan couldn't help but scoff: "What's wrong with him? He can go back on his word, so why should I care about him?"
Huang Ying was confused and didn't quite understand what she meant. She stared at her profile for a long time before suddenly realizing what she meant and said "Oh" with a smile.
Jiang Yan was still looking out of the courtyard with a sense of loss when she heard her laugh. She casually asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Huang Ying mischievously rolled her round eyes and drawled, "Because of you, Master..." She deliberately left the sentence unfinished, keeping Jiang Yan in suspense.
Jiang Yan looked at her curiously: "What's wrong?"
Huang Ying smiled mischievously, "My lady, have you fallen in love with the prince?"
Jiang Yan's heart suddenly felt like it had been clenched, and she felt a momentary choke. Then she hurriedly said, embarrassed and annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about?" She then looked out the window, "I could fall in love with him? Ridiculous!"
But Huang Ying didn't think so this time, and continued to smile: "Master, you said you don't like the Prince, so why are you angry?"
Jiang Yan sensed that she seemed a little guilty, but maintained a firm stance, saying, "I'm angry because it's too hot! I'm so annoyed!!"
Huang Ying smiled knowingly, then said seriously, "I wonder what the Prince is doing. He clearly said he was coming to Pear Blossom Residence today. Hmm, in my opinion, the Prince should be on his way."
"I don't care where he is or what he's doing!" Jiang Yan was exactly like a lover in the throes of new love, but she was oblivious to it and was still stubbornly denying it.
Huang Ying covered her mouth and laughed at the angry look on her face as she turned to look out the window. After a while, she coughed lightly and said, "Master, I have something to attend to and need to go out for a while."
Jiang Yan, absent-minded, responded to her.
