Chapter 121 He wants to climb a high branch
In fact, he should have seen through it earlier. It was just that the prince was too stubborn and unwilling to admit that he was a person without bottom line.
Each harsh word he said was more frightening than the last, but after being back in Beijing for such a long time, the prince didn't say a single word of anger even when Miss Qiao lost a hair and even blew up the kitchen in the palace.
Haha, it’s not that he looks down on the prince, it’s just that the prince will be at the hands of Miss Qiao II for the rest of his life.
It was worth it that he paid attention to what was happening over there with Miss Qiao.
"After the secret guard saw the prince carrying Miss Qiao Er into the carriage..."
He Yanli frowned and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of the point!"
Mo Xiao: “….”
Haha, I felt so upset and had no place to vent, so I took it out on him. The prince is not a good person either!
"After the man carried Miss Qiao II onto the carriage, the secret guard saw the coachman take out a silver needle from the left hind leg of the runaway horse while no one was paying attention."
The scene of the carriage losing control was obviously directed and acted by Miss Qiao herself.
He Yanli sneered contemptuously, "She actually used some unpresentable schemes. If I were the crown prince, I would definitely not fall for her tricks!"
Mo Xiao showed no reaction on his face, but snorted coldly in his heart.
Your Majesty, do you think I believe it?
If Miss Qiao used those tricks on you, you would be very proud of yourself.
You don't hate Miss Qiao's scheming, you hate that Miss Qiao didn't play tricks on you!
The carriage stopped steadily in front of the Shangshu Mansion.
He Zhiyu got off the carriage and waited for someone to come out and help her out, but she never heard any movement inside.
When he got back on the carriage, he saw that Qiao Wanyan had no intention of getting off.
She lowered her eyes and said softly, "My legs are weak, can I rest for a while and get off the car?"
He Zhiyu asked, "Do you need me to carry you down?"
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled, her cheeks flushed, as beautiful as the clouds in the sky. Her pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes were curved in a smile, and her eyes were full of shyness.
Like a flower bud about to bloom in spring, swaying in the wind, extremely charming and alluring.
She stretched out her hands, "Then please carry me down with you, Your Highness."
He Zhiyu could tell that she was acting coquettishly on purpose, but not a single thought of rejection or annoyance emerged in his mind.
Big hands picked her up and carried her out of the carriage.
Xu Shujian walked out of the Shangshu Mansion at this time. Seeing the two people at the door, he paused for a moment and nodded to greet them. "I greet Your Highness and the Second Miss."
He Zhiyu looked at him with a disdainful gaze and did not say a word as he passed by him.
With a sound of "bang", the hairpin in Qiao Wanyan's hair loosened and fell down due to the violent shaking of the carriage.
Xu Shujian took a step forward and leaned over to pick up the hairpin. He noticed the prince's cold gaze on him, but he did not look back.
He Zhiyu just took the hairpin and put it back into Qiao Wanyan's hair, his face becoming a little gloomy.
"You are unmarried, don't you know that your actions will cause unnecessary trouble to the woman?"
If what I saw in the Shangshu Mansion last time was just an accident, then the man’s actions just now were telling me silently.
He wants to reach the top!
Xu Shujian folded his hands in the air and nodded slightly, saying in panic, "Second Miss, I am rude. Just now, my mind was filled with the etiquette and knowledge taught by the Minister, and I was not able to react for a moment and offended you, Second Miss. I hope you will forgive me."
He Zhiyu frowned.
Qiao Wanyan said softly, "Then I'll punish you by asking you to draw a picture for me again next time."
Xu Shujian lowered his head and could not see the strange color flashing in his eyes. "I will follow the Second Miss's order."
He Zhiyu strode into the Shangshu Mansion. Qiao Wanyan glanced at his face out of the corner of her eye, but could not tell any emotion from it.
But she could feel that He Zhiyu's hands around her stiffened for a moment when she just said that.
How can I always be unhappy? It is only fair that His Highness should also be unhappy.
Being hugged by him, yet feeling pity for other men, no matter whether he likes her now or not, the man's dignity is being trampled underfoot.
The key is that he can't get angry with himself.
Because, there is no stance.
Xu Shujian got on the carriage, and the servant followed him, then asked the coachman to drive the horses away.
"Sir, you just..."
There was no trace of the humility and gentleness on Xu Shujian's face at this moment. He was expressionless as he looked through the window at the passing East Palace carriage.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth: "Tsk, looking at the prince's high and mighty look, I couldn't help it for a moment."
"Liuyun, what do you think of Miss Qiao Er's impression of me?"
Liuyun said: "I think the second lady likes the paintings you made very much."
Xu Shujian chuckled, "She likes the paintings I make, but asking me to draw another one for her today is fake. The real purpose is to use me to make the prince feel a little jealous."
She didn't care whether the prince would make trouble for her in the future. The Shangshu's daughter, like him, was an extremely selfish person.
If something can be used, its value will be squeezed out completely before it is discarded.
In Yongning Pavilion, He Zhiyu carried Qiao Wanyan into the courtyard. An unfamiliar maid immediately opened the door of Yongning Pavilion before him and followed him into the room.
The other maids looked at her with disgust in their eyes.
They don't hate newcomers, but they hate those who are restless as soon as they arrive, which shows that they are quick-witted and can do things.
"Rest well, and let the servants make you a bowl of soothing soup. That horse is restless, so I will have someone bring you a disciplined horse to pull the carriage tomorrow."
Qiao Wanyan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness, for sending me back, and thank you, Your Highness, for being so thoughtful."
He Zhiyu looked at her clear eyes and was silent for a moment, "You grew up in a greenhouse and don't know how dangerous the world outside is. Don't be kind to lowly people, or you will get hurt."
Qiao Wanyan blinked her eyes, and seemed to be unable to react for a moment, but she still smiled and said, "Wanyan listens to His Highness, and will do whatever His Highness says."
A faint smile appeared on He Zhiyu's lips. "Have a good rest. I'll be leaving first."
Qiao Wanyan did not get up to salute, and He Zhiyu did not care about her etiquette.
The maid who had just opened the door immediately stepped forward and said, "I will escort Your Highness out of the house. Your Highness, please come this way."
Qiao Wanyan's expression slightly changed. "That maid looks unfamiliar. Is she new?"
"To answer Miss, Shuhe got married and returned to her hometown. Madam was afraid that Yongning Pavilion would be short of people to serve, so she asked someone to buy a maid back."
Qiao Wanyan got out of bed. No longer did her legs look as weak as before and unable to walk.
She smiled and said, "There's life in your eyes. You're quite a clever girl."
The maid nodded but didn't say anything more.
