"Waiter Jiang, this is too unkind of you, isn't it?" Just as they were thinking about how to enter the house without scaring people, they saw "Jiang Lang" coming out of the nearby Qiyun Building. Someone immediately became unhappy and took two steps forward, intentionally lowering his voice, "Since you're here, just let us in to take a look."
As he approached, he squeezed his eyes upstairs to ask Jiang Lang if the prince was there. However, he had just taken two steps when the guards of the palace stood out and blocked his way.
Not to mention when they first met each other as children, even when he went to the palace to pay homage every year, Dandy had never seen Jiang Lang act like this. Jiang Lang on the other side not only did not jump up and say that he did not respect his elder brother as usual, but he also stepped back with a cold face, looking at him indifferently.
A chill suddenly came up from behind the dandy. In front of Jiang Lang, whose attitude was completely different from before, he felt an oppressive aura he had never felt before.
"Fang Hu?" Before the dandy was stared at and broke out in cold sweat and almost fell to the ground, "Jiang Lang" suddenly spoke. The palace guard who had his hand on the sword at his waist also took a step back. He said coldly, "What are you doing here? You scared my sister."
Fang Hu finally found the source of Jiang Lang's annoyance. He stood on tiptoe with a playful smile and looked behind Jiang Lang, waving and greeting him, "Princess Jinhe has been studying in Xingling Mansion for such a long time and has only come back once. We should get closer. I took you to play polo when you were little. Do you remember?"
The girl behind Jiang Lang was wearing a veil, holding her brother's sleeve with one hand, holding a chess manual in her hand, and she didn't even raise her head, as if she didn't hear him talking. Fang Hu scratched his nose, feeling embarrassed, "It seems that the headmaster of Wende Academy is really amazing. He was so naughty when he was a child that he climbed trees to the roof, but he actually taught a..."
The rest of his words were swallowed back by Jiang Lang's fierce look. Fang Hu started a new conversation and nudged Jiang Lang with his elbow, "Didn't you say yesterday that it was okay? So you wanted to bring your sister here? You should have told us earlier. We wouldn't have bothered you to bring your sister here to try it out. Now, you have to queue up with me."
Jiang Hengyun, who was holding Jiang Lang's face, suppressed the thought of catching and counterattacking. He slowly exhaled, ignored Fang Hu, turned around and said softly, "Let's go."
Fang Hu thought he was talking to him, so he stepped forward to clear the way, "Make way, make way, Jin and sister finally came back, please make room in front! If you have anything delicious or fun, please bring it out and let us see it."
The dandies naturally woke up late. It was noon when Wanglaiju was the busiest. Originally, they didn't need to queue up, but someone heard about the huge queues for food in Wanglaiju in the morning and evening, so they had to queue up to get in. The one who paid was the dad, and Si Li was happy to use her free time to play a role-playing game with them, satisfying their own happiness.
A group of people had been blocking the door of Wanglaiju and making a lot of noise for a while. Following a shout from the side, seven or eight people suddenly became quiet. Si Li looked at the young master who had returned and led the two princes of Yue King over, and she almost blurted out asking for a food box.
But, Jinhe? Si Li looked back past the tall young man. The veiled girl in purple skirt hadn't changed her movements at all. Rather than being obsessed with the chess, she was just in a daze. In the original owner's impression, Princess Jinhe of Yue Palace, Jiang Fei, was a little bully. When she was a child, the original owner saw her chasing Jiang Lang and asking him to ride on her horse. How could such a fierce girl change her personality so drastically in less than ten years?
"After my sister left, we were missing someone to play with!"
"I just bought some French fries. You'll definitely like the spicy ones!"
"How long will you stay this time? Will you come back after the Chinese New Year?"
Princess Jinhe was obviously more popular than her brother in the circle of dandies in the capital. The crowd was quiet for a moment before being drowned out by the attentive voices of all the people. Si Li noticed that her fingers holding the book turned pale and her eyes began to drift downwards. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong.
There are many social phobias among programmers, so Si Li is particularly clear that this is clearly a manifestation of fear!
Before she went to rescue, Princess Jinhe was pulled over from behind by her brother. She looked around and the playboys fell silent. Jiang Lang said, "The headmaster left a remaining chess game for her to solve. When she is free later, Feifei will come to meet you all."
It turned out that she brought her studies home, no wonder she was so lazy and forgot to eat. The playboys felt sympathetic, "We won't disturb my sister from reading. We just came to take a look, take the food and leave soon."
This obviously couldn't be done quickly. The newly made bamboo tubes from the dessert shop and the newly made flower cards from the Wanglai House were enough to keep them talking for a long time, not to mention the brother and sister from the Prince of Yue's mansion who were sitting in a corner and remained silent the entire time.
"This is a delicate sculpture with a poem inscribed on it. Under the scenery of autumn leaves and a quiet lake is a cup of sweet milk tea..."
"The paper looks like newly-made magpie, with fine texture and inscribed title. But the printing quality is a bit inferior..."
"Oh, sister Jinhe has really changed a lot since she grew up. No wonder Alang has to keep a close eye on her. I'm afraid she's been kidnapped."
Thinking that they were whispering to each other, Si Li had doubts in her heart, so she asked Meng Taotao to go to the kitchen first and stayed in the lobby to observe the situation. Seeing the girl's shoulders shrinking more and more, her fingers began to tremble, and the bad feeling became stronger and stronger, she finally made up her mind and walked forward and whispered, "The backyard is brighter. If you want to read, why not go to the backyard to eat while reading?"
This is an excuse. Jiang Hengyun understood the moment he met her eyes. He put down the bamboo tube in his hand, stopped feeding his sister, and asked softly, "Fei Fei, shall we go?"
After changing out of her veil and white dress, Jiang Rufei looked better than usual. She stood up without saying a word, still holding the book, and reached out to grab Si Li's sleeve.
Si Li was startled. Feeling Si Li's shudder, the hand that had almost no strength stretched out quickly loosened its grip, and dodged backwards in panic.
"Princess, please come this way." Si Li gently held her hand before she turned around, without using any force, but the moment she was held, the girl stopped struggling.
"The backyard is connected to the kitchen. This is the place to read in the shop. It might be a little cold. It would be better with a cup of milk tea." Si Li slowed down her voice, trying not to cause her fear and struggle. She looked carefully into the girl's eyes with every word she spoke, so as to end the topic before she became frightened.
Fortunately, after the girl sat down on the bench in the yard where Meng Taotao read every morning, she never showed the nervousness she had in the front hall. On the contrary, the girl became more and more relaxed, as if Si Li was a close friend she had known for many years, and she had given him her trust and allowed him to enter her private space.
Si Li went over the original owner's rare experiences of going out when she was young, and was sure that apart from seeing Jiang Fei's tough side, she had never had any dealings with him. After thinking about it, she could only attribute this to the fate between people.
However, Si Li didn't have much time to waste. Not only the orders from the two people in the Yue Palace, but also the guests who really spent a lot of money were waiting in the front hall to eat the main dishes. As for the control of seasonings, they still had to wait for her to come. Meng Taotao couldn't complete it alone.
"I'll go cook first." Si Li tentatively loosened her hand, but the girl quickly grabbed it back, as if she was afraid that she would run away, with such strength that it was like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood. Si Li's face wrinkled immediately, and she gritted her teeth to hold back the scream of pain.
"A Fei!" Jiang Hengyun's face changed slightly, and he called out in a deep voice, bending down to get close to the two of them, and holding down his sister's elbow. As if a muscle was pressed, the girl immediately let go, and Si Li's hand was freed.
Unlike the dandies in the front hall, the young man did not have a strong scent of incense on him. Instead, there was a faint smell of pine, cypress and ink, which only brushed Si Li's nose the moment he approached and quickly dissipated.
After being stopped, the girl did not move anymore. She sat there quietly with her hands hanging down, looking rather pitiful and lost. Si Li corrected her previous impression. Rather than saying that this was social phobia, it was better to say that she was like an autistic older child. She took the warm bamboo tube from "Jiang Lang", bent down and put it in the girl's palm, "I'll be back in a while. There are French fries and sweet candied sweet potatoes."
Standing up and meeting the dark gaze of "Jiang Lang", Si Li raised an eyebrow, took a step back, and quietly clarified the relationship, "The prince and the princess are together, I didn't take the milk tea."
Seeing Si Li, who was about to write "You have to pay for milk tea" on her face, Jiang Hengyun felt at a loss for words and waved her over, "Move your fingers."
It turned out that he wanted to see the wound. Si Li breathed a sigh of relief. She thought he was going to turn the tables when he looked at her with such a bitter and resentful look. It only hurt for a moment, and was soon relieved. Si Li's finger joints were as flexible as ever. However, the original owner's skin was white, and the red marks from the strong grip had not yet faded. In addition, there were marks from the burns of the oil and the rubbing marks everywhere. A good and delicate hand was completely horrible.
After showing that her hands were still usable, Si Li took a peek at the Prince of Yue's expression and guessed that he couldn't get any compensation for mental damage from the miser. She waved her hand and walked towards the kitchen, "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
"No..." A hoarse and oddly pitched voice sounded from behind, mixed with vague breaths and ahhh sounds, as if it hadn't spoken for too long and couldn't find the right pronunciation. When Si Li turned around, she just heard the second word Princess Jinhe said, "Let's go..."
I haven't heard that anything happened to the little princess of the Prince of Yue's mansion. How did the child become like this? It's so pitiful.
Si Li smiled at her, not caring whether Princess Jinhe, who was looking down, saw it or not, and comforted her, "No, I'm in the house next door, and I'll come out when I'm done."
The smiling shop owner disappeared. Jiang Hengyun regained his voice from the shock. He squatted down and looked at his sister. He could hardly suppress the sobs in his voice, "A Fei?"
Jiang Rufei's gaze stopped on his face, but was still flickering. The pair of eyes exposed outside the veil were filled with pain. She cried "ah ah" twice, tears rolling down like beads, and repeated, "No... go..."
"Okay, I won't leave." Jiang Hengyun tried to find a safe distance, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said softly, "How about letting her come to the East Palace? I've reserved a position for her as an official. You can see her every day, and she can also manage Qiyun Tower."
"Ah!" The hoarse scream didn't even alarm the two people in the kitchen who were nearby. Jiang Rufei's eyes showed anger, and she threw the milk tea tube at Jiang Hengyun. The anger quickly turned into confusion, and tears flowed again.
The warm milk tea flowed down her chin and quickly turned cold in the cold wind. Jiang Hengyun didn't even raise his eyebrows, "You can't leave." He looked at his younger sister calmly and made an irresistible statement, "Me too."
"Besides, she can't do anything right now."

Ru Fei's sister has a psychological disorder, but she is not socially isolated. Li Li is just guessing.
