Chapter 181 The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (10)
At the junction of the back garden and the front yard, Su Yu was waiting beside the rockery, holding something in her hand, looking nervous and embarrassed.
From time to time, she looked towards the end of the road, as if she was waiting for someone.
After a long time, I finally saw a figure.
The man walked hurriedly with an angry expression. He stopped waving the folding fan in his hand and clenched it tightly in his palm, as if he wanted to crush someone's bones.
"What is there for Cui Hanzhang to be proud of? He is just a minister, how dare he snatch someone from me?"
The attendant smiled flatteringly, "That's right, Your Highness, you are a prince, and even Lord Cui praises you highly. If the girl is not blind, she will definitely choose you. It's just that Lord Cui is deep-minded and deceived her. When she wakes up, she will definitely be extremely upset. It won't be too late for Your Highness to come forward then."
These words touched the eldest prince's heart completely.
The eldest prince glanced at him and said, "Okay, stop being so smooth-talking."
The attendant cried out in injustice: "Your Highness, I am not a smooth talker, I am speaking from the heart. In my heart, Cui Hanzhang and Li Hanzhang are not as good as your Highness."
The eldest prince raised his lips and swung his folding fan away: "Okay, save your energy and go back to collect your reward."
The attendant was excited: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"
Suddenly, the attendant's excited voice stopped, and he pointed at the figure pacing back and forth on the rockery not far away and said, "Your Highness, isn't that the girl from before?"
The eldest prince looked over and raised his eyebrows: "It's true."
"Come on, follow me over there and take a look."
The angry expression on the eldest prince's face had disappeared. He waved his folding fan again, and walked towards Su Yu slowly and elegantly.
The woman was holding something in her hand, muttering something, frowning and then relaxing her brows, it was unknown what she was thinking about.
After a moment, she sighed and continued to look up at the end of the road... Suddenly she saw the eldest prince and her body trembled, obviously frightened by the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Su Yu was stunned: "Your Highness..."
"Miss Su?" The eldest prince looked her up and down, his tone not as friendly as before, "Didn't someone say they were looking for you? What are you doing here?"
The eldest prince was still angry. Su Yu had just chosen Cui Ling instead of him, which made him lose face. At this moment, his attitude was lukewarm.
Su Yu was sensitive, biting her lip and looking at him timidly: "Your Highness, are you angry?"
The eldest prince sneered: "Why should I be angry?"
Su Yu walked closer and said in a soft voice, "Don't be angry, Your Highness. After I left, I learned from Zi Tong that my aunt didn't send anyone to look for me. It was difficult for me to go back, so I could only wait here to apologize to Your Highness."
After saying that, he showed what he had in his hand.
The woman looked shy and said, "This is a purse I made myself. Thank you for leading the way for me at the last flower viewing banquet. I know you don't need anything, but...but this purse is a token of my love. I hope you don't dislike it."
The eldest prince glanced at what she was holding.
After a few breaths, he put away the folding fan in his hand and reached out to pick up the purse.
The ochre purse was embroidered with a flying Kunpeng, which looked majestic and seemed to contain the best wishes. It even looked better than those embroidered by the palace embroiderers.
The eldest prince first took a look at it, then turned it over and over again in his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad."
The embroidery is really nice, especially the Kunpeng, which spreads its wings and flies high into the sky. It seems that the eldest prince can see through this purse a scene of himself standing above millions of people in the future.
"Miss Su has superb embroidery skills. Her embroidery is really good."
He said "good" three times in a row, which shows that he was very satisfied.
Su Yu's cheeks blushed slightly: "As long as Your Highness likes it."
Looking at the blushing woman in front of him, the eldest prince's mind moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking: "I wonder if Miss Su is married?"
Su Yu's heart skipped a beat: "Not, never married."
She seemed to have guessed what the eldest prince was going to say next, and she could hear the sound of his heart beating in her ears.
The eldest prince smiled charmingly: "That's easy."
Su Yu suppressed the beating of her heart and looked up in confusion.
The eldest prince's frivolous eyes revealed a hint of deep affection: "Since the last flower viewing banquet, I have often dreamed of Miss Su. It was not until this moment that I realized that I like Miss Su."
Su Yu looked stunned.
The eldest prince pretended to be affectionate but it was still very intimidating: "I wonder if Miss Su is willing to enter my mansion? Although I cannot give Miss Su the position of my principal wife, I promise that no one in the prince's mansion will be able to surpass your favor, whether now or in the future."
"What do you think, Miss Su?"
Su Yu didn't believe a word the eldest prince said.
These nobles are used to saying these sweet words to please women. Once they enter his mansion, he can do whatever he wants. Maybe he has said these words to every concubine.
But undoubtedly, this was exactly what she and her aunt had planned.
Su Yu's heart was beating fast, as if she was frightened and stuttered: "Your Highness, I, I..."
The eldest prince doesn't want an answer right now.
He said sympathetically, "It's okay. Miss Su, think about it after you go back. It won't be too late to give me an answer later."
After saying this, he was in a very good mood and walked away leisurely, waving his folding fan.
It was not until the eldest prince turned the corner and left that Su Yu slowly put away the shyness and throbbing on her face.
Very good, the scapegoat is very self-aware.
Su Yu hummed a song and walked to the other side, still not heading back to Su Yanyun.
System: [Host, where are you going? ]
Su Yu said cheerfully: [Of course I'm going to thank my dear cousin. ]
She just said goodbye to the eldest prince, and now she is rushing to see the male protagonist.
The system was silent for two seconds, then said faintly: [Host, you must have a very good balance.]
Su Yu: [How do you say that?]
System: [The bowl of water is balanced and steady, not tilted at all. ]
Su Yu: [……]
For the time being, she interpreted the system's words as a compliment.
It was easy to find the male protagonist. She just went to his courtyard. After Baishan informed her, he led her to the study.
Cui Ling was sitting at the desk, flipping through a pile of case files in front of him.
Su Yu stepped forward, looking hesitant, not knowing whether she should disturb him.
Cui Ling put down the file: "Bai Shan said you have something to ask me."
Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said cheerfully, "I came here to thank my cousin."
"Thank me?"
Su Yu nodded: "Thank you, cousin, for helping me get away from the eldest prince. Zitong told me that it was not my aunt who asked me to go, but Baishan who asked her to go."
Cui Ling's expression was visibly gentle. Sometimes, what he feared was not how much trouble it would take to help, but that he thought he was well-intentioned but others did not appreciate it.
"But, will doing this bring trouble to my cousin? The eldest prince..." Su Yu was worried.
"No, you don't have to worry about this."
Seeing him say this, Su Yu felt relieved and her eyes curved: "I will listen to my cousin."
A very trusting attitude.
Cui Ling was startled for a moment, then lowered her eyes. The purse she had brought in the morning was still in her sleeve, warmed by her body temperature and feeling slightly hot.
