Chapter 140 Your Highness is Shameless
Guo Licheng had originally planned to say goodbye to Qiao Wanyan and return to the capital with her family. The number of meditation rooms in the Flower God Temple was limited, and it was impossible for a family of her level to get one.
But he didn't expect to see Qiao Yihuan on the way to find Qiao Wanyan, so he had to put on a smile and stop.
"Sister Yihuan."
Qiao Yihuan had a gentle expression, with a warmth like a spring breeze, and took Guo Licheng's hand and sat down.
"Ah Cheng, I just want to ask you what Your Highness thought of me when I left the table at lunch just now. Princess Wan Yanhe has gone to rest, so I was curious and had to ask you. Do you mind?"
Guo Licheng understood her purpose and repeated word for word what the Crown Prince had said during lunch.
There was no exaggeration or omission.
Guo Licheng looked at the gradually relaxed expression on Qiao Yihuan's face and said, "His Royal Highness is a gentle person. Even when he commented on the Second Miss, he did not use any offensive words. His Royal Highness is really a very good person."
Qiao Yihuan smiled and said, "You don't know because you are not familiar with His Highness. Although His Highness is gentle, he will say what he should say and will not be ambiguous for fear of offending others. His Highness is the crown prince, why should he be afraid of offending others?"
Guo Licheng smiled awkwardly, "Sister Yihuan is right. Not to mention that I just came to the capital, even if I grew up in the capital, I don't have the qualifications to be familiar with the prince. In the end, Sister Yihuan is lucky to be born in the capital and to be familiar with His Highness."
Qiao Yihuan was a little embarrassed, "No, it's just that His Highness appreciates my personality and gets along well with me."
Guo Licheng complimented her again, feeling upset in her heart, "Sister, sister, you are out of breath after hearing a few words of flattery. Do you think I want to hear you show off?"
I'm afraid it's been a long time since you've seen someone with a worse family background than you. You must have been holding these words in your heart for a long time, right?
"Sister Yihuan, my mother is still waiting for me. I have to go back to Beijing with her."
Qiao Yihuan was a little surprised. "The Flower God Temple is very lively every night during the Flower Festival. When the lanterns are lit, the sky and the river are full of lanterns. It is incredibly beautiful. Why don't you stay and play with us?"
Guo Licheng still had a smile on her face. "Our Guo family has just arrived in the capital, and my sister is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. It's hard to get a Zen room in the Flower God Temple. Moreover, although I want to see it, it's not safe to travel at night, so I can only leave first."
"So that's how it is. Actually, I'm not borrowing my family's help. I'm just on good terms with the young Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. Every year he has someone prepare a meditation room for me. If you don't mind, you can live with me."
Guo Licheng declined politely. She had seen too much today and her heart was too weak to handle it. She had to go home and digest it.
If it happened again at night, she felt like she would be scared to death.
"Then I won't keep you here. Be careful on the road."
Guo Licheng nodded, "Thank you, Sister Yihuan."
After they were far away, Guo Licheng wiped the sweat from her temples. The maid beside her said, "Miss, why don't you stay? Didn't Miss Qiao ask you to live with her? I heard that the Flower God Temple is very lively at night."
Guo Licheng sighed, "What do you know? I want to cling to Miss Qiao Er, but I have to stay away from Miss Qiao Da."
She is not a fool. The two sisters of the Qiao family do not get along with each other, and they really do not get along with each other.
My mother told me this thousands of times before I left my hometown.
She must make a name for herself, marry a rich man, make her father pay more attention to her, and trample those concubines under his feet.
Her father favored his concubine over his wife, and her mother was not lucky enough to give birth to an older or younger brother, so she could only work hard to help her mother gain the confidence to gain a foothold in the Guo family!
But as the daughter of a sixth-rank official, how could she marry those "noble husbands" if she didn't marry those noble ladies?
If you marry a noble lady from the capital like Miss Qiao Er, would you still worry about not being able to attend the banquets at the residences of the nobles in the capital?
"Let's go, don't keep mother waiting for too long."
Qiao Yihuan also planned to go back to the meditation room to rest for a while and go out to play later.
However, at the Moon Gate, he saw two familiar figures in the corridor in the distance, and immediately took a step back and hid behind the Moon Gate.
"Your Highness, is there something you want to ask me?" Qiao Wanyan was just about to close her eyes and rest for a while, but she heard someone say that the prince was outside, so she had to come out.
He Zhiyu looked at her from such a close distance that the tips of his ears flushed slightly, but he didn't even notice it.
"I just want to tell you that I have something to give you."
Qiao Wanyan's eyes lit up, his features reflected in her light brown pupils, "Your Highness, are you going to give me a gift? Ever since I was little, my favorite thing is to receive gifts!"
Looking at his reaction, He Zhiyu thought she was really handsome and cute, and her personality was really like that of a child, simple and harmless.
Qiao Wanyan seemed very expectant. He Zhiyu opened a wooden box in his hand, revealing a piece of He's Bi with a smooth and delicate texture, which was considered to be of top quality.
"It's the Heshi Bi!" Qiao Wanyan exclaimed, "Is it the Heshi Bi that Jing'an Marquis's Mansion prepared this year? Your Highness, is this a precious thing that you really want to give to me?"
He Zhiyu responded, "Do you still remember the jade token you gave me before I left for Qingzhou?"
Qiao Wanyan paused slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, she remembered that it seemed to be true.
But who gave it to him? Didn't I say I lent it to him?
Your Highness is so shameless!
"Remember, so this is a return gift?"
He Zhiyu said: "Do you remember the assassin Baozhu encountered on his way back to Beijing? I was careless and was shot by an arrow. If I didn't have your jade token, I'm afraid my life would be hanging by a thread."
Qiao Wanyan opened her mouth slightly in surprise. This is also possible? This jade token was really worth buying!
"So, you saved me again."
Qiao Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled, her smile was sweet but not at all cloying, it was extremely sweet.
"Wan Yan is very happy to be able to save His Highness. Wan Yan is also very happy about this Heshi Bi."
She took the brocade wooden box and looked at the Heshi Bi inside, which was as pure as snow. "I will keep it well and take it out to clean it every day!"
Tsk, I already have two such He Shi Bi, both were given to me by my grandfather!
The style is so old-fashioned, she won’t bring it out to embarrass herself!
Qiao Wanyan accidentally saw a familiar figure at the Moon Gate. Only half of the head was exposed, but she still easily knew who that person was.
She rubbed her eyes with a cry.
"What's wrong?" He Zhiyu asked.
Qiao Wanyan said anxiously, "It seems like something has gotten into my eye. I feel very uncomfortable. Your Highness, Your Highness, can you help me take a look?"
