Chapter 89 You're too long-winded
Qiao Wanyan slept until noon before getting up, leaning lazily on the couch. Ziyuan walked over with a Hetian jade comb and combed her hair.
"Miss, I heard that the Tenth Princess invited Qiao Yihuan to visit the Princess's Mansion."
Zi Yuan muttered, "She is so lucky that she ran into the princess when she returned to the capital. Thanks to the guards that His Highness gave her to save the princess, she became the princess's savior and was treated with courtesy by the princess."
Qiao Wanyan raised her eyebrows, "Really? When did you go?"
"The post arrived this morning, just as the young lady was sleeping."
Qiao Wanyan listened to her angry expression and said with a smile: "Why are you angry? What's the harm in saving a princess who is not popular and not favored?"
Is it possible to enter the circle of noble ladies with the help of the Tenth Princess?
When the Tenth Princess was in the palace, she rarely left and never interacted with girls of marriageable age in the capital.
She doesn't have many connections, so it's not a high-ranking position for Qiao Yihuan to marry into her.
Poor fellows are just friends with poor fellows.
"That's true, young lady. But the Emperor's birthday festival is coming soon. Have you thought about what gift to prepare for the Emperor? Madam said that this year's Emperor's birthday festival is the Emperor's sixtieth birthday. All the important ministers in the capital will bring their families to the palace, so young lady will naturally go as well."
"Madam also said that you must make a splash this time and become the most outstanding among the noble ladies in the capital, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be more attracted to you."
Qiao Wanyan half-closed her beautiful eyes and admired her nails. "I'll give you the Yuqing Pill that Yun Heng gave me before. The emperor of the capital city wants everything, but the Yuqing Pill made by Yun Heng, a world-famous medical genius in Pharmacist Valley, is a rare item."
Zi Yuan nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea, Miss is really smart! But I heard from the steward that Qiao Yihuan will also go with the master this time. It is said that the Crown Prince has spoken, so the master has no choice but to take her with him."
Qiao Wanyan's expression slightly changed. "Did I hear that Qiao Yihuan was going to prepare any gifts?"
She was not surprised that Qiao Yihuan would go along, as in the storyline, she participated in the Wanshou Festival.
But in the story, I didn't go there.
On the day of departure, she had eaten something bad and had no chance to go. However, Qiao Yihuan acted very gracefully at the birthday banquet and was praised by the emperor, who said that her father had taught her well.
What was written in the story later?
The servants of Mingxiang Pavilion accidentally heard Qiao Yihuan scolding Xiaoying for drugging him on the day of the Wanshou Festival, saying that she was too much. Even if he was not respectful to her, it was her sister who shouldn't have done this.
Later, the servant told me as if to curry favor with me, saying that I had beaten Xiaoying with a stick and she couldn't get out of bed for three days.
This time, let’s do it the other way around.
After he finished dressing up, someone came to report that the Crown Prince had come to the mansion. He was not here to see Qiao Yihuan or Qiao Wanyan, but there was some court affairs, and the Crown Prince passed by the Shangshu Mansion to discuss it with Shangshu Qiao.
Qiao Wanyan asked someone to make a bowl of sweet soup, and asked Ziyuan to accompany Yunyao out to play before going towards the study.
"Second Miss."
As soon as she entered the moon door of the study, Qiao Wanyan saw a strange yet familiar figure in the corridor.
Speaking of stranger, she had never formally met this person.
I say familiar with him because I saw half of his face on the street that day.
Xu Shujian was wearing a reed-colored long gown with a jade-white silk sash tied around his waist, from which hung a transparent jade pendant.
Her deep eyes were as bright as black jade, her skin was fair and her temperament was clean and elegant.
He has a handsome face, and his every move shows the bookish air of a scholar, but the natural elegance that he reveals inadvertently does not make him look like a nerd at all.
It seemed that when I stood there, the air around me became fresher.
Qiao Wanyan stopped and looked at him unscrupulously, "I thought you were asking me to save you by pretending to be your father's disciple, but now I see that there really is such a coincidence in the world."
Xu Shujian smiled, his posture as graceful and elegant as a pine or cypress, "Second Miss is kind-hearted. If it weren't for my good luck, I would have frozen to death in the ice and snow."
He leaned forward and saluted, "Thank you very much for saving my life, Miss."
Qiao Wanyan sighed inwardly, thinking that he had received so many life-saving favors recently.
She is about to become a female Bodhisattva.
Qiao Wanyan said calmly: "I am a kind-hearted person. Saving your life is nothing. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Just consider it as accumulating merit for yourself."
Xu Shujian smiled and asked, "Is that so?"
But if I hadn't told her that day that I was Minister Qiao's disciple, she would definitely not have helped me.
Second Miss, you really like to tell little lies.
"I will always remember the Second Miss's life-saving grace. If the Second Miss needs me in the future, I will do my best."
Xu Shujian looked at her and saw clearly that when he finished speaking, there was a hint of mockery and ridicule in her eyes.
That expression was as if to say, how can a poor scholar like you help a lady from an aristocratic family like me?
Qiao Wanyan said softly, "As long as you have the heart."
A scholar from a poor family should not think of climbing up the social ladder and taking shortcuts by relying on others, and yet he has the audacity to say such things.
Fun.
"Miss, are you looking for the Minister? The Minister is currently discussing important matters with the Crown Prince. I'm afraid Miss, you'll have to wait a while."
Qiao Wanyan looked him up and down and said, "You're being long-winded."
Xu Shujian took a step back and bowed his head slightly, "I am sorry for being rude. Please come in, Second Miss."
Qiao Wanyan ignored him and walked past him.
The next second, Xu Shujian's gentle voice sounded, "Second Miss, wait a minute."
She turned around and seemed a little impatient about what the other person wanted to say.
"A plum blossom fell on the second young lady's head."
Qiao Wanyan raised her hand to touch it. She passed by the Plum Garden on her way here, and maybe it had accidentally fallen on her head.
After searching for a long time without finding it, she ordered, "What are you standing there for? Help me take it off."
He has no sense at all. He doesn't look like a nerd, but he is actually a nerd.
Xu Shujian responded and walked forward, and a crisp scent of pine and cypress came over him.
He Zhiyu walked out of the study and saw the two people who were in close contact in the corridor.
