Chapter 266: The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (13)
The scene seemed to be frozen by some kind of magic, and no one dared to look over there any longer.
[Task completion rate: 35 percent.] The system reported dutifully.
Su Yu's eyes lit up. This trick actually worked.
Chunmei is a great teacher. I’ll ask her later if she has any other tricks.
There was no response. The hands on her waist tightened slightly, and her beautiful big eyes were full of confusion: "Why don't you speak?"
Zhao Ce woke up as if from a dream and quickly pushed Su Yu away: "You get up first."
Su Yu refused, and threw herself into his arms even harder, saying aggrievedly, "I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Zhao Ce...Prince," she always habitually forgot to change her words, "I really like you, do you know that?"
Zhao Ce's body was a little stiff.
"Do you know?" Su Yu asked without giving up until she achieved her goal.
Everyone was sighing in their hearts that she was so wild. It seemed like such a fragile little girl was so courageous.
Only Chunmei knew the truth and was about to cry.
Is that how she taught? How about euphemism? How about gentleness? How about being eaten by a dog?
In the end, it was the maid sent by the eldest princess who rescued Zhao Ce from the dire straits.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess invites you and this girl to come over."
Zhao Ce casually held down the uneasy person in his arms and asked, "Did my aunt say anything?"
The maid shook her head.
The temperature in Zhao Ce's ears gradually dropped. After thinking for two seconds, he said, "I understand. You go down first."
After calming down from the shock just now, Zhao Ce raised his phoenix eyes slightly and swept his gaze over everyone present, with a strong sense of oppression.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"I don't want to hear about today's events from anywhere else."
Everyone quickly said, "Yes."
The two footsteps gradually faded away, and everyone slowly looked up, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and let out a long sigh.
Chunmei stood there with a dead heart and did not follow.
She needs to calm down.
She always felt that the prince seemed to look at her before leaving.
The prince has great powers, maybe he already knows something.
Chunmei wants to die... No, Chunmei doesn't want to die, it must be the prince who wants her to die.
In early spring, it’s not too cold, but it’s not too warm either.
The temperature of his palms was a little cold, and Zhao Ce subconsciously clenched them a little: "Why are my hands so cold?"
Su Yu said obediently: "It's always cold."
The original owner had been weak since childhood, and his family didn't take good care of him. Every winter, his hands and feet were cold and couldn't be warmed up no matter what he did.
Zhao Ce frowned, turned around and gave an order. Not long after, the servant brought a hot water bottle wrapped in soft animal skin. It was very warm in the hand.
"Here."
Su Yu took it blankly and looked up at him: "Your Majesty..."
"Um?"
"I seem to like you more and more."
The temperature in Zhao Ce's ears, which had just subsided, rose again.
From childhood to adulthood, no one dared to offend him. No one had expressed his feelings so directly since he was enlightened. His father had many children, and he received very little attention. His mother only asked him to study hard and compete for his father's attention for her.
Thinking of the past, Zhao Ce's expression calmed down.
"Who taught you to say that?"
In fact, you can tell without asking that it was the maidservant beside her who instigated it.
Zhao Ce always felt that Su Yu was young and was his savior, and apart from occasional shocking remarks, many of her offenses were harmless.
No one takes a child's words seriously.
Just thinking of that kiss, my heart still trembles uncontrollably.
Su Yu did not expose Chunmei: "No one, I just wanted to say it myself."
Zhao Ce pursed his lips and said, "Then tell me, why do you like me?"
Chunmei also taught this question.
Su Yu looked at him seriously: "Because you are good-looking."
"shallow."
It's just a shell.
Su Yu was at a loss for a moment, with a look of doubt in her eyes.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhao Ce glanced over and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"
Su Yu pursed her lips, raised her eyes and asked sincerely: "Zhao Ce, what does superficial mean?"
“…”
After a moment of silence, Zhao Ce spoke: "...I'll hire a teacher to teach you how to read after we get home."
It took less than a quarter of an hour to get from the peach forest to the princess's courtyard.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ce was tall and took big steps. In order to accommodate Su Yu's short legs, he had to slow down his pace. When he heard the servants' salutes, he realized that they had arrived.
The journey was clearly much slower than before, but Zhao Ce inexplicably felt that time was passing by very quickly.
"Get up."
The servants said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The maid from the eldest princess' room came out to greet her: "Greetings, Your Majesty. Please come this way."
The maid accidentally glanced at Zhao Ce's face and was slightly stunned. Her expression was a little subtle, and she glanced at the woman behind him inconspicuously.
With mixed feelings, the maid led the two into the house.
The prince must have his reasons for doing this.
Hearing the noise of someone entering the room, the eldest princess, who was talking to the nanny sideways, looked outside the door.
Zhao Ce was tall, and the girl behind him only half of her body was exposed. She seemed curious and quietly peeked over, and was caught by the eldest princess.
The little girl immediately retracted her head like a frightened rabbit, which made people laugh.
"aunt."
"Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Su Yu's voice trembled slightly. She had learned how to perform etiquette with Chunmei before coming here, and she performed it very well when she was serious about it.
The eldest princess said in a dignified but calm voice: "No need to be polite, get up."
Her eyes stayed on Su Yu for a while. After satisfying her curiosity, the princess slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhao Ce. Just as she was about to ask something, she was suddenly stunned.
"Cer, your face..."
The princess stopped talking halfway and motioned for the maid to bring her a mirror.
"Forget it, just look for yourself."
Zhao Ce paused, took the mirror, and saw a faint red but not negligible lip mark at the corner of his lips.
“…”
No wonder the servants I met along the way all had that expression.
Su Yu seemed to realize that she had gotten into trouble, and she lowered her head guiltily to avoid Zhao Ce's gaze that was looking for her to settle the score.
Zhao Ce quickly calmed down and nodded to the princess: "Aunt, I'll go tidy up my appearance."
The princess said with a smile: "Go ahead."
Soon, Su Yu was the only one left in the room facing the eldest princess.
Seeing that the little girl seemed a little panicked, the eldest princess calmly asked someone to take a seat and took a sip of tea: "I heard from Ce'er that you are his savior?"
Su Yu lowered her head guiltily: "Yes, I saved Zhao... I saved the prince."
The nanny behind the eldest princess frowned and was about to scold her for not knowing the rules, but was held down by a pair of hands.
The princess said kindly, "Don't be afraid, child. Lift your head and let me have a look."
The eldest princess' voice was really kind and friendly, without any airs, just like an ordinary elder. Su Yu was no longer so scared and slowly raised her head.
In an instant, it is more eye-catching than the spring scenery in the garden.
"Not bad, not bad." The princess said twice, smiling, "She is indeed a beautiful lady. No wonder Ce'er came to me."
