Chapter 124: Super Fantasy
Liu Yanran turned around stiffly, the smile on her face was extremely awkward and so bitter that it made people feel pity for her.
But Qiao Wanyan did not feel pity. Instead, she admired others' fear of her.
Zi Yuan didn't take it seriously at all. She turned around to look at Wei Mo, her face still calm and composed, as if even if the two of them started fighting, she would remain calm and wait until they got tired before stepping forward to stop the fight.
"Sister Yanran, why do you run away when you see me? We are like sisters, and you will make me sad if you do this."
The smile on Qiao Wanyan's lips was clear and harmless, like the gurgling spring water on the sacred mountain, pure and sweet, without a trace of malice.
Liu Yanran has always felt that other people’s smiles are very approachable and a symbol of friendliness.
But since meeting Qiao Wanyan, she clearly knew what it meant to be smiling but hiding a dagger.
A gentle knife piercing the heart will double the pain.
Both the mind and the body were hurt.
Liu Yanran knew that her words were meant to embarrass her and make her feel awkward.
Although she knew that she had a bad temper, she didn't dare to run away in front of Wei Mo. After all, she still had to seek refuge in the princess's mansion.
"Miss, you are joking. I am not running. I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach and want to go to the toilet."
Qiao Wanyan's smile was as bright as the first ray of sunshine that broke through the clouds in the morning, warm and beautiful. However, in Liu Yanran's eyes, the goose bumps that had just subsided appeared again.
This look is no different from the day she grabbed her hair...
"Then Sister Yanran, go ahead. The princess got some fresh lychees, which are hard to come by at this time of year. You are a guest at the princess's mansion, and I think the princess has invited you, too. The princess and I will be waiting for you."
Wei Mo said politely, "Second Miss, Miss Yanran is very busy every day. The princess knows that so she didn't bother her."
The refusal was already very obvious. Qiao Wanyan looked as if she had suddenly realized something, and Liu Yanran's face became even uglier.
I don't know why, but even when the princess and Yihuan were good friends before, the princess and I were not very close.
I am clearly in the mansion, but every time I see her, I still feel happy.
She had a vague feeling that the princess didn't like her, but she didn't know how she had offended her.
He Baozhu had been waiting for a long time. There were juicy lychees on the table. She sat on a chair with her hands on her thighs, happily waiting for the guests to arrive.
The moment the person appeared, He Baozhu immediately stood up and said, "Wanyan, you are here! I don't know if it is presumptuous, can I call you that?"
"nature."
He Baozhu said: "You also know that I don't have many friends now that I'm back in the capital. I feel like we've known each other for a long time when I saw you. I hope you don't think I'm annoying."
Qiao Wanyan smiled and said, "How could that be? Isn't the princess very close to my sister? Why haven't I seen my sister come to the princess's mansion recently?"
He Baozhu smiled awkwardly: "She has been busy recently, so I didn't go to see her."
She felt that Qiao Yihuan was not really sincere in making friends and always acted very friendly, but after getting to know her for a long time, she found that she was actually like this with everyone.
"Hurry up and take a seat. Father has given me some fresh lychees as a reward. They are very sweet."
The two chatted until noon, and Qiao Wanyan finally felt that it was not abrupt to speak up.
"Sister Yanran has also stayed in the Princess's Mansion for a while. She and Sister Yihuan and I get along like sisters. Why don't I take her back to the Shangshu Mansion some other day?"
He Baozhu actually wanted to drive the man away a long time ago, but there was no suitable opportunity. In the beginning, she had stayed there enthusiastically for Yihuan's sake.
Now that she had spoken, He Baozhu naturally had no chance to refuse.
But..........
"Wanyan, I really want to agree to your request, but a few days ago Liu Yanran told me that she wanted to participate in this year's selection of female officials in the harem. She begged me in every possible way, and I have already agreed to her request. Now she is on the selection list, and she will enter the palace after the Flower Festival."
Qiao Wanyan paused as she peeled lychees and said calmly, "So that's how it is. I came at an unlucky time."
In the afternoon, after having lunch at the Princess's Mansion, Qiao Wanyan went to the Mobao Bookstore.
He carefully selected the rice paper he needed, and asked the shopkeeper to choose a set of calligraphy and painting that was not cheap. Then he got on the carriage and returned home.
In the private room on the third floor of the teahouse opposite the Mobao Bookstore, a young man in black clothes respectfully presented a secret. He Zhiyu half-closed his eyes and watched the carriage go away, and said in a calm voice: "Got it, leave now."
"Kyung Yuan."
Outside the door, Jingyuan walked in and nodded in response.
"Has the horse sent to the Shangshu Mansion been delivered to her?"
Jing Yuan paused for a moment, "I personally delivered it to the Second Miss. She was very happy and asked me to tell her that she would come to thank His Highness someday."
He Zhiyu frowned slightly. If it was delivered and if she was happy, why was the horse pulling the carriage she was riding in just now not the Ferghana horse she had sent?
It's not an ordinary horse, but it's still much worse than a Ferghana horse. Why doesn't she use that Ferghana horse to pull the carriage?
Are you reluctant?
"Go and call the owner of Mobao Bookstore."
Jing Yuan nodded in agreement, and after a moment he called the owner of Mobao Bookstore over.
The ruler of the Eastern Palace is not short of money, but he still has many shops in the capital and even in Dayu.
The purpose is not to make money, but to serve as a turning point for intelligence information.
To put it simply, they are secret agents and spies.
"What do you want, Your Highness?"
He Zhiyu took a sip of tea without looking at him.
He sat by the window, his delicate profile shone with the inherent majesty of a superior under the influence of light from outside the window.
"What did Miss Qiao buy in the bookstore just now?"
The shopkeeper immediately said respectfully, "Your Highness, Miss Qiao bought rice paper and a set of calligraphy and painting. Miss Qiao has always been generous, and she said she wanted to give someone a set of calligraphy and painting, and asked me to choose a set that would not be embarrassing, so I took out the treasure of the store."
He Zhiyu was silent for a moment.
Give it to someone?
Seeing this, Jing Yuan asked, "Did Miss Qiao Er say anything else?"
The shopkeeper shook his head.
Jing Yuan asked everyone to leave, and after the door was closed, he said confidently, "Your Highness, the Second Miss has chosen the best calligraphy and must give it to Your Highness. Only Your Highness deserves the Second Miss to give the best to him."
He Zhiyu looked indifferent, but his expression relaxed inadvertently.
Jingyuan just said that she would come to thank him in person some other day. This set of calligraphy and painting is most likely a thank-you gift. She is really thoughtful.
At that time he could also ask why she didn't use the Arabian horse given to her.
What you give her is to be used, not to be kept and treasured.
