Chapter 3 It turns out that pretending to be a green tea is so interesting
He Zhiyu stood still in a tea-white brocade robe, with a handsome face and outstanding temperament. His hair was tied up like black jade, and his deep pupils reflected the admiration and love that Qiao Wanyan tried hard to suppress after being frightened.
He Zhiyu glanced at the beautifully wrapped brocade wooden box in her hand. He had not met the second daughter of the Qiao family very often. Every time he met her, she would come to him when he was talking to Yihuan.
Although I don't understand it, I know a little bit from Xiaoying.
Yihuan didn't have a very good life in the Qiao family because the Qiao family had a spoiled and domineering second daughter.
It was common for legitimate daughters to bully illegitimate daughters in large mansions. But Yihuan was his favorite, and he naturally hated such a mediocre girl when a gentle and kind girl like Yihuan was bullied by her younger sister.
Even though the second daughter of the Qiao family is extremely beautiful, he is not a lustful person.
Inner beauty is the real beauty.
But just now he heard Xiaoying say in the mansion that the second daughter of the Qiao family was a vixen?
If a maidservant disrespects her master, she would have been dragged down and executed in the Eastern Palace long ago.
He Zhiyu's expression remained indifferent. "Are you here to buy hairpins and jewelry?"
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, her weak gesture as pure as snow, "Yes."
Just a simple word, nothing else.
He Zhiyu frowned slightly, pretending to be delicate. He must have known Yihuan's delicate nature, so he deliberately imitated her. He was really scheming.
Qiao Wanyan paused and said softly, "Your Highness, I caught a cold a few days ago and I am not fully recovered yet. I am not feeling well, so I will take my leave now."
He Zhiyu was a little surprised. She was dressed so simply and plainly unlike before, and looked so sickly and weak. Did she catch a cold?
Footsteps sounded behind him. He Zhiyu turned around and looked at Qiao Wanyan's slender and frail back with dark eyes.
Jing Yuan, the personal guard at the side, said, "Your Highness, I think Miss Qiao II must have known that Your Highness was coming, so she said that on purpose."
Miss Qiao Er is not a good person. In the past, she scolded me badly because I tried to stop her.
He Zhiyu retracted his gaze. He had made a sudden decision to come and buy a jade bracelet for Yihuan. How did the second daughter of the Qiao family know about it in advance?
Moreover, according to his impression of her, after he asked her if she was here to buy hairpins and jewelry, she would try her best to behave like those vulgar women and say that she was buying it for her elder sister in order to create an image of a loving sister.
He Zhiyu withdrew his thoughts. What kind of person the second daughter of the Qiao family was had nothing to do with him.
After coming out of Huibao Tower, Ziyuan felt a little regretful. She regretted not throwing more dirty water on Xiaoying and the eldest lady.
What a loss! What a huge loss!
"Miss, I finally got to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now. Why didn't you talk to him more? But it's such a coincidence. Miss hasn't left the house for half a month, and as soon as she left the house, she saw His Royal Highness."
Qiao Wanyan smiled but said nothing. Unfortunately, she had left the house on purpose because she knew the prince would come.
According to the storybook, Qiao Yihuan would go out of the house today and meet the prince by chance at Huibao Tower. However, Xiaoying was punished to kneel by her now, and Qiao Yihuan was naturally in no mood to go out of the house without anyone to accompany her.
Qiao Yihuan stroked her temples gently, her eyes and eyebrows curved in a smile, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
It turns out that pretending to be weak and harmless is so much fun.
Today, the prince's expression when looking at him was not as disgusted and disdainful as before.
It turns out that men are all mean and only like women who are easy to control, simple and harmless.
"Miss, Xiaoying is such a slut and has no manners. It would be much easier if you just sold her off!"
The corners of Qiao Wanyan's mouth curled up in a beautiful arc, "It only takes a flick of the finger to deal with a maid. She is kept because she is of great use."
Zi Yuan pouted, "Well, I am not as smart as you, so whatever you do is right."
Qiao Wanyan touched Ziyuan's cheek and said, "Ziyuan, Miss, I really like your straightforward personality. Today, I will ask the kitchen to stew a pork elbow for you. A big pork elbow, just for you."
Ziyuan's eyes lit up, "Miss, you are so nice!"
But, I always feel like there’s something wrong with the lady’s praise.
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Whatever the lady does is right!
If the young lady suddenly treats the eldest lady nicely, that's fine, as long as the young lady is happy.
The winter weather was unbearable, and after staying in the mansion for many days, Qiao Wanyan's cold was finally cured.
Zi Yuan has been feeling uneasy these past few days, especially when she entered Yongning Pavilion with a letter and looked at her young lady, she became even more uneasy.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said, "Miss, why don't we go to your grandfather's house in Yongzhou to avoid the limelight!"
Qiao Wanyan was reading a book next to the fumigation cage. When she heard this, she looked up at her and stretched out her hand, "Whose post is this? Give it to me."
Zi Yuan eagerly took it and said, "Miss, Prince Jing came back the day before yesterday. I was so nervous. Prince Jing now holds military power and has tremendous power. He must have come back to the capital to avenge you. The prince has set up a welcoming banquet and invited you and Miss to join him. It is inevitable that you will run into Prince Jing!"
Qiao Wanyan found it funny. "If he wanted to take revenge on me, wouldn't he be able to find me if I hid in Yongzhou?"
Zi Yuan frowned. At least she could die later.
She hadn't slept well since she knew King Jing was going back to Beijing, but the young lady was very calm. She ate and drank as usual, as if nothing had happened.
If she went to the welcoming banquet, the young lady would probably become a laughing stock in the whole capital.
Qiao Wanyan opened the post and took a look at it. It was indeed an invitation for her and Qiao Yihuan to attend the banquet together.
At this time, Minister Qiao and Jin came in.
As expected, she was asked to pretend to be sick and not attend the welcoming banquet. Qiao Wanyan had to persuade the two to go back after much persuasion.
If you don't go, how can this good show go on?
She had been looking forward to this welcoming banquet for a long time.
