Chapter 8 He Yanli: Want to be a Crown Princess? Dream on!
Inside the Fuyun Palace, palace maids brought in luxurious dresses made of lusterless brocade fabric.
Zi Yuan was a little surprised. His Highness actually asked someone to send such good material?
The maid said, "Miss Ziyuan, the East Palace has no mistress, so women's clothes are not prepared on weekdays. This set of floating brocade dress is a tribute from the Yunan Kingdom, and it was just taken out of the storehouse. I hope Miss Qiao will not dislike it."
The East Palace maid was polite and considerate in her words. Even though Zi Yuan was a bit shrewd and straightforward, she smiled and thanked her: "Sister, you are too polite. How could my lady despise the things in the East Palace? Thank you, Your Highness."
After closing the door, Zi Yuan trotted into the inner hall with a smile on her face.
The floor heating in the East Palace was burning warmly in the winter, and Qiao Wanyan immersed herself in the bathtub to wash away the coldness.
The hot steam rose and the mist dissipated. In the hazy light, the black hair fell outside the barrel like a waterfall.
Qiao Wanyan was born with fair skin, her skin was as white as cream, and her body was as smooth as ice. Crystal clear drops of water slid down her shoulders.
She gently raised her jade arms, the water rippled, and her beautiful chest was faintly visible. Zi Yuan stared at her for a moment, and felt a touch of heat in her nose. The next second she immediately raised her head, and her nosebleed almost stained her dress.
"Miss, the maid brought a dress of floating brocade."
Qiao Wanyan raised her beautiful eyes and glanced at the clothes in her hands. Floating Light Brocade is a precious material. Even her grandfather could rarely get such a precious thing.
This thing comes from a neighboring country. Only the royal family of Dayu has it, and it was all tribute from neighboring countries.
She remembered that this glittering brocade dress was given to Qiao Yihuan by the prince in the storybook.
Zi Yuan put down the clothes and stopped the bleeding from her nose before complaining, "Miss, although His Highness sent someone to send such fine material, he was too partial to Miss Xiaoying! He only gave Xiaoying fifty strokes of the cane, which was too easy for that slut!"
Qiao Wanyan closed her eyes and felt the warmth surrounding her. "To me, getting rid of Xiaoying is as easy as crushing an ant. But a maid who is so loyal to Qiao Yihuan, impulsive and brainless, is so easy to use. Wouldn't it be a pity to get rid of her?"
Ziyuan didn't understand and looked confused.
"I don't understand, and I don't understand what His Royal Highness is thinking. The young lady is so beautiful, but His Royal Highness just now showed partiality to the eldest lady."
Qiao Wanyan stopped talking. If her past self had fallen into the water, it would definitely not be the prince who would jump into the water to save her, and he would not punish Qiao Yihuan's people.
It was understandable that he favored Qiao Yihuan, because he liked Qiao Yihuan now. If he had changed his mind so quickly and fell in love with her because of what happened today, then she felt that the prince was not a person who could be trusted with any sincerity.
How challenging and interesting is it to gradually change his mind about you and watch him gradually turn his heart towards you?
Qiao Wanyan let out a long breath, "After you go back today, go to the bookstore where you bought the storybook and ask who wrote the storybook I read before."
"Yes, miss."
Although Ziyuan's hands are rough, she is the most skillful person in the Qiao family.
But in just a moment, she had done her hair in an exquisite Chaoyun Jinxiang bun, with gorgeous hairpins inserted in her hair, and was wearing a brocade dress that shone with dazzling light. Zi Yuan felt that her young lady was absolutely stunning.
It is the most beautiful and luxurious flower blooming in the capital.
After leaving the Fuyun Palace, Jingyuan was waiting in the outer courtyard.
"Miss Qiao Er, His Highness said that you are out and will be sent to Zhaohua Palace."
Qiao Wanyan said, "Tell His Highness that I feel a little unwell and will be leaving today."
Jingyuan was a little surprised. Given Miss Qiao's personality, she would love to get close to His Highness when she saw him, but now she said she wanted to go back?
Feeling unwell must be an excuse. Could it be that she has really let it go and is no longer obsessed with the position of Crown Princess?
"Miss Qiao, are you sure you're not joking?" He was still a little skeptical.
Qiao Wanyan's eyes were filled with a glimmer. "The floating brocade that His Highness sent is too precious. If I appear at the banquet wearing it, it will definitely bring trouble and rumors to His Highness. And my eldest sister is also at the banquet, I don't want her to misunderstand."
Jing Yuan felt like he was almost not recognizing her anymore. Was this considerate person really the Second Miss Qiao in his memory?
"Then I'll send someone to send Miss Qiao back."
After Jingyuan had the master and servant sent away, he was about to return to the Showa-den, but a palace maid stopped him.
After returning to Zhaohua Palace, she walked up to He Zhiyu and whispered something in her ear. She saw a look of surprise on He Zhiyu's face. It was obvious that she did not expect that she would think so carefully and considerate of him.
Countless women would love to be misunderstood by the world. Could it be that she is really no longer obsessed with marrying herself?
If there was still some doubt before, now with the test of Fu Guang Jin, it can be confirmed that Qiao Wanyan has really changed her mind.
This is good too. If she behaves herself, I can be her caring brother-in-law.
Jing Yuan moved a little to the left, with his back to Qiao Yihuan, blocking her line of sight, and handed a lotus-colored purse in his sleeve to the prince, "Your Highness, this is what Miss Qiao left behind."
He Zhiyu took a glance and found the purse exquisite with a light scent of agarwood.
Now Qiao Wanyan is unhappy in her heart because of her bias. If she lets Yihuan take the child back to her, she is afraid that there will be an argument and Yihuan will be wronged.
He Zhiyu took it and decided to return it to her if he had the chance in the future.
Today I have a better understanding of Qiao Wanyan. She is a woman who is a little spoiled and willful, but not a bad person by nature.
I heard before that Minister Qiao and his wife doted on their two daughters, so it was understandable that they were a little spoiled. Now, she wanted to protect herself from rumors and not let Yihuan see the clothes she wore and get upset. She was a kind person by nature.
He Zhiyu shook his head. It was indeed biased for him to get to know a person through the mouth of a maid who didn't know the rules.
He Yanli stroked the wine glass with his bony fingers as he watched the prince put away the lotus-colored purse, his eyes dark and sinister.
The style of that purse belongs to Qiao Wanyan.
Send a purse?
He is indeed a vain and power-hungry person. It seems that he has been focusing on the prince for so many years.
She wanted to be the Crown Princess, but he wouldn't let her have her way!
