It rained heavily all night last night, and the camellia flowers in the yard suffered, with the buds scattered all over the ground.
Yunyan looked at the flower buds on the ground and felt worried. Camellia was the princess's favorite flower. It was all her fault. She slept too much last night and forgot to cover the awning.
"Rain stars, clouds and smoke."
A woman's voice called out from inside the house.
Jiang Qiao woke up.
On rainy days, people tend to be more sleepy. Jiang Qiao woke up later today than on other days.
Yunyan pushed the door open and Yuxing came in with warm water.
"Princess, will you wash up?"
Jiang Qiao said, "Well, what time is it now?"
Yuxing placed the basin on the sink and replied, "It's already 9 o'clock."
The Si hour is equivalent to around ten o'clock in Jiang Qiao's world, so it is indeed late to get up.
Jiang Qiao has been feeling dizzy every time she wakes up lately. Yu Xing helped her up and said, "Princess, do you feel better today?"
"Much better."
Jiang Qiao could only deceive himself and them in this way.
"Is it still raining outside?"
Yu Xing combed her hair. "It's still raining, but it's a little lighter now. It doesn't seem to be stopping."
Jiang Qiao still remembered that after the banquet last night, Rong Sui had someone give her a note.
She didn't plan to go, or rather, Jiang Qiao didn't plan to have anything to do with Rong Sui.
It was just a coincidence that she met him when she went to Manchunlou. She helped him because of the mission. Maybe there was a little bit of fate, but... the two of them were destined not to have a good ending.
"Princess, the eldest prince came to the princess's residence again today."
After the banquet ended last night, Jiang Yanchuan did not return with Jiang Qiao and stayed at Yonghe Palace.
"Come if you want to. This is his home too."
This was what Jiang Yanchuan heard when he walked to the door. He came today to deliver something to her on behalf of the empress dowager.
In the morning, he went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects. The Empress Dowager gave him a large box of jewelry and told him to give it to Changle today.
He stood at the door and knocked, "Can I come in?"
Jiang Qiao was stunned when he heard the voice, "Come in."
Jiang Yanchuan pushed the door open and walked in. He casually placed the jewelry on the table and found a place to sit down. "The Empress Dowager asked me to bring you some jewelry."
Jiang Qiao stopped Yu Xing from combing her hair. She walked to Jiang Yanchuan, picked up the box on the table and opened it. At a glance, she saw a unique jade hairpin inside.
It stands out among a pile of gold and silver jewelry.
Jiang Yanchuan noticed the woman's actions, turned his head to the side, and his ears turned red.
Jiang Qiao handed the jade hairpin to the person behind him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Yuxing, use this to tie my hair!"
"Good, this jade hairpin is really beautiful!"
Jiang Qiao looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Thank you, A Yan, for the gift."
Jiang Yanchuan's ears turned even redder. Why was she so annoying?
He didn't respond to her, but stood up and walked out.
Jiang Qiao returned to the dressing table and looked at her face in the mirror. She felt that she had changed a lot.
…
Zuixinlou.
The man in green robe stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes as dark as the scenery outside the window.
It's already noon and she hasn't come.
Rong Sui still held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that perhaps something had delayed him, so he could wait a little longer.
Every time he said wait a little longer.
I waited like this until the afternoon.
Rong Sui's lips were tightly closed, the corners of his lips were pressed down, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down quickly, trying hard to suppress his depressed emotions.
He threw the purse on the table and turned away.
When they got downstairs, the guards held an umbrella for him and helped him to the carriage.
"Your Highness, where are you going now?"
Rong Sui closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, "The Princess's Mansion."
"yes."
…
Mingyin Pavilion.
Jiang Qiao suddenly became interested and was practicing calligraphy, while Yunyan was grinding ink for her.
Her calligraphy was really bad, the characters were all crooked. Jiang Qiao lost his patience and put the brush aside.
"I won't write it anymore. It's too ugly."
"Knock, knock, knock—" There was knocking on the window.
Yes, that's right, windows.
Jiang Qiao was annoyed, "Who is it?"
Chi Qi'an: "It's me."
Jiang Qiao: ...
Yunyan: ...It seems like I discovered something extraordinary.
"Princess, who is he?"
Jiang Qiao cleared his throat, a look of discomfort on his face. "It's Chi Qian'an, Yunyan, you go down first."
General Jinghong?
Yunyan was worried. Although her princess had been an adult for two years, she had not yet married. How could a man and a woman live in the same room alone?
"Princess……"
She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Jiang Qiao, "It's okay, you can go out first."
"yes."
After Yunyan left, Jiang Qiao went over and opened the window, and what came into view was the man's elegant and noble face.
Jiang Qiao felt a little better when he saw him, "Why are you here?"
Chi Qi'an's eyes flickered as he handed her something in his hand. "I bought your favorite osmanthus cake on the way back from the training ground and brought it to you."
The training ground is in the south, and Xu Fuji Osmanthus Cake is in Taipei City. It would be strange if they were on the way.
But Jiang Qiao was very happy.
"Thank you, General Chi. I'm very happy."
The two of them just looked at each other through the window, and Jiang Qiao let him come in through the door.
It was warmer inside the room than outside, and this was not the first time Chi Qianan had entered this room.
He felt that this room was much warmer than the last time he was here.
"Chi Qian'an, you didn't climb over the wall again, did you?"
Jiang Qiao poured him a cup of jasmine tea.
Chi Qianan held the teacup, and before he took a sip, the fragrance of jasmine hit him.
Scented tea is mostly loved by women. Chi Qianan doesn't drink much, but the one she gave him today was the best.
