Chapter 48 She Did Nothing
Today is the dragon boat race, and all the nobles in the capital have gathered here.
From the prince to ordinary people, the tents and the lakeside were filled with people.
Jiang Yueyao looked at Lu Hengqing across the crowd.
Seeing him blushing and looking embarrassed but not daring to get angry, I felt very refreshed.
Others may not know, but Jiang Yueyao knows Lu Hengqing too well.
He cares most about face.
In the past, when he was in Sucheng, he was provided with good food and drink. If he was not satisfied with anything, he would give her a cold shoulder.
I remember one time, he didn't come back for a month and the weather was getting colder, so she went to the academy to bring him winter clothes.
I happened to run into Lu Hengqing and his classmates reciting poems and composing couplets together.
Seeing her coming, the classmates joked with her.
"Brother Lu, your little wife is here to see you again."
Lu Hengqing looked displeased.
In front of all his classmates, he threw the winter coat on the ground, not hiding his disgust at all.
"Don't come here again in the future. This is a place for studying, not a place for a woman like you."
That day, Jiang Yueyao left crying.
Swear never to talk to him again.
But when he came back and gave her a poem that was so bittersweet that it made her teeth fall out, she immediately forgave him.
Now that I think about it, I have brought myself to this point because of all I have done.
At this moment, Lu Hengqing was indeed as embarrassed as Jiang Yueyao had thought. He wanted to explode but didn't dare to.
After all, the other party was not Jiang Yueyao who was at his mercy, but Princess Xiangning, whom he could not afford to offend.
Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, he knew without even looking up that others were either watching coldly, mocking him, or gloating over his misfortune.
Lu Hengqing suddenly regretted it.
He regretted being so impulsive. As soon as he heard the other party's identity as a princess, he couldn't wait to accept the marriage.
If he had known earlier that Princess Xiangning had such a bad temper, he would never have agreed to it.
But now, it's too late to regret.
We must get out of this predicament as soon as possible, and worry about the rest later.
Thinking of this, Lu Hengqing raised his hand and saluted the prince.
"Princess Xiang Ning has no ill intentions. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me."
The prince smiled and said, "Xiang Ning did not offend me, so why should I bother with her?"
He turned around to look at Jiang Yueyao who was standing behind Lu Sui, and said to Lu Hengqing: "If you really want to apologize on Xiangning's behalf, then ask Miss Jiang if she can forgive you."
"She is the one who has been wronged."
Lu Hengqing's expression froze.
He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yueyao, met her gaze, and subconsciously frowned slightly.
In the past in Sucheng, as long as he frowned, Jiang Yueyao would come up to him and say nice things to him no matter how unhappy she was. Even if he did something wrong, she would forgive him immediately.
Today, in front of so many people, Lu Hengqing thought that as long as he changed his expression, Jiang Yueyao would definitely be scared.
When she gets scared, she will take the initiative to ask for help.
As long as she opened her mouth, he would go along with it and the matter would be over.
Princess Xiangning only said one sentence to her, just one sentence, how big of a grievance could it be?
Besides, the princess is of noble status, and she is just a small merchant girl.
What right do you have to be angry?
Jiang Yueyao, who was named by the prince, immediately straightened her back.
On the left is Lord Lu’s thigh, and on the right is the prince’s thigh.
She was hugged by people on both sides at this moment, and her back had to be stiff.
But after waiting for a long time, she saw Lu Hengqing staring at her with a stern face and without saying a word.
Jiang Yueyao was a little confused at first, but she quickly realized that the expression on his face at this moment was exactly the same as when he was angry in Su Cheng.
In the past, she hated to see him with a stern face and silent expression.
I always feel that I have let him down.
But now, after experiencing the unforgettable hatred of being stabbed five or six times by his men in her previous life, leaving no trace of her body, if she still had any feelings for him, then she deserved to die.
Still waiting for her to come and coax him?
Is he too naive, or is she incredibly stupid in his heart?
I waited for a while, but he still didn't say anything.
Jiang Yueyao raised her eyes to look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, her eyes slightly reddened.
Crystal clear tears hung on the eyelashes, about to fall.
"Your Highness, please don't embarrass Master Lu. I am just a lowly merchant girl. Whether it's the Princess or Master Lu, they are both people of noble status. How can I bear their apology?"
As she spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
The fragile voice became more choked.
"Forget it, I'm not worth it..."
Lu Sui glanced at her and silently shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Qingshu followed suit and turned his face away.
He didn't dare to look anymore, fearing that he would burst out laughing the next moment.
He had seen Miss Jiang's acting skills in Sucheng before, and they were comparable to the actors in Hua Manlou. Tsk tsk tsk tsk...
Princess Xiangning, who was already dissatisfied, immediately exploded when she saw her acting like this.
"Brother Crown Prince, you've seen it, right? Look at her, she's a foxy creature, and her words are sarcastic. It's obvious she's not a good person..."
"Shut up!" The prince was so angry that his face turned blue.
He pointed at Princess Xiangning and said, "You are a princess from a royal palace, yet you speak so vulgarly. Someone, send her back to Prince An's palace and hand her over to Uncle Wang to discipline her properly."
Princess Xiangning saw the guards coming to take her.
He was so angry that he was jumping up and down.
"Why are you arresting me? I'm the princess... Don't touch me... Get out of here... I'll have my father chop off your heads."
After a commotion, Princess Xiangning was finally taken away.
The prince's face turned pale.
He took out all his anger on Lu Hengqing.
"As Xiang Ning's fiancé, since you've spoken up for her, why is it so difficult for you to apologize to Miss Jiang?"
Lu Hengqing lowered his head and said nothing.
The prince continued to speak.
"I heard that you were kidnapped and wandered for many years. It was a merchant who saved you and provided you with food, drink, and education to pursue your studies and obtain a degree. Now that you have a higher status and a broader perspective, you begin to look down on others."
These words are quite heavy.
It's somewhat of a veiled criticism of his ungratefulness.
Jiang Yueyao was so happy to hear that.
She urged in her heart: "Your Highness, you have a good mouth, please speak more."
At this time, a clear and unrestrained voice was heard.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, since Lord Lu is Princess Xiangning's fiancé, he should apologize to Miss Jiang on her behalf. However, it seems that Lord Lu is reluctant to do so."
The other person's voice sounded familiar.
Jiang Yueyao raised her eyes and immediately met Yuan Zheng's gaze.
Seeing that she was looking at him, the other person winked at her.
Jiang Yueyao: “…”
She quickly looked away and was about to wipe her tears with a handkerchief, but she felt someone's gaze falling on her.
She raised her head slightly and met Lu Sui's deep and cold eyes.
The other person stared at her, saying nothing, with no expression on his face.
Jiang Yueyao was so frightened that her scalp went numb...
What's the matter? What's the matter?-----
She didn't do anything!
A very light sneer reached his ears.
The next moment, she heard him say----
"Boss Jiang is really a big shot."
It's okay for him and the prince.
Unexpectedly, another deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, Yuan Zheng, appeared!
good!
It’s really great!
