After saying this, he kept looking at the prince secretly. The girl in the morning looked like a fairy emerging from the mountains and forests, so beautiful without any makeup. Who would have thought that she was the one from Duke Cheng'en's mansion?
Ji Chenglin only remembered that when they had just gotten engaged, he had seen the fifteen-year-old Ning Danruo from a distance in the Empress Dowager's palace. Her face was already blurry, and he only remembered that she looked dignified, like a figure that had walked out of a painting of ladies.
That's why he didn't recognize her this morning, but he didn't expect to meet her today.
Han Shu only saw his own prince frowning and throwing down the scriptures in his hand, his expression indifferent:
"Don't let her disturb my mother's peace in the future. I don't want to see her."
Han Shu knew that it was the offering Ning Danruo had given to the prince's mother this morning, and he quickly put it in his arms and said, "I will throw this away now."
Ji Chenglin wanted to stop him, but then he thought better of it. Looking at Liu Na, he thought of Ning Danruo and became even more annoyed.
Han Shu saw the state of his prince and ran away. He knew that the prince must hate Ning Danruo. Which man could bear the humiliation of being broken off?
The next morning, Danruo came to the old place as usual with the three things from yesterday.
But this time he was stopped by Han Shu who had been waiting here since early morning. Han Shu said with a cold face:
"Please don't disturb our prince anymore, Miss Ning. He doesn't want to see you at all."
Danruo's face flushed red, and tears immediately burst out. Caiyue felt distressed and stepped forward to protect her daughter: "Do you know that my daughter is for the prince..."
"Caiyue, stop talking, let's go. As long as the prince is happy, that's all that matters."
Danruo interrupted her in time and pulled her back.
Caiyue remembered that Danruo got up before dawn to make pear blossom cake and didn't let her interfere.
Having just been driven away, he angrily advised, "Girl, why are you doing this? Let's not do anything stupid for the Regent anymore. The Master has already canceled your marriage with the Regent."
Dan Ruo shook her head firmly. "How can it be considered a stupid thing? I like him, but I can't go against my parents. I'm happy just to do something for him."
Danruo pretended to be foolishly in love, which made Caiyue feel even more distressed.
After returning to the house, Danruo picked up the backpack and told Caiyue that she wanted to go pick snow herb from the back mountain. With this herb, she could make her medicine.
Caiyue wanted to go with her, but Danruo refused. "You have your period today and you are not feeling well. Just rest in the house. I am your daughter and I am smart. There will be no problem. Just make the house warm and wait for me to come back."
Ever since Danruo left, Caiyue felt uneasy, secretly annoyed that she should have insisted on going with the girl, or stopped her.
She wandered around outside the house from time to time, but before the girl came back, she saw the sky outside suddenly became gloomy, and it started to snow a moment later. The light snow soon turned into heavy snow. It was clearly noon, but the whole world was dark as if it was about to get dark. The whole world fell into silence, with only the rustling sound of heavy snow.
The weather is so bad and the girl hasn't come back yet. If I go to find the host and word gets out that the girl was found alone in the mountains, it will ruin her reputation and make it more difficult for her to get married in the future.
She remembered what the young lady had said yesterday, that the Prince Regent attached great importance to his deceased mother and had built a house near the mausoleum, and would come to stay for a few days every year.
The mountain is now blocked by heavy snow, so the Regent must still be on the mountain. There must be many guards protecting the Regent.
