Now that he could see them from a distance, Jinlu felt his scalp tingling.
As Qiao Si approached, Jinlu stepped forward and bowed, blocking her way: "Princess, my prince has a headache today and is not suitable to see guests."
Qiao Si leisurely crossed his arms and raised his left eyebrow, "Why, does your prince always say the same thing every time I come to visit you?" Qiao Si's eyes were sharp and he exposed his lies without mercy.
Jinlu faced Qiao Si's gaze, cold sweat pouring down his face. Princess Dingjia was truly too strong, and every time he faced her, he felt immense pressure. He could only bite the bullet and lie with his eyes open: "Princess, you're joking. My prince is truly unwell today. Princess, please don't embarrass me."
Qiao Si looked at him coldly without saying anything. The air became quiet for a moment. Jinlu didn't dare to meet Qiao Si's gaze. He slowly lowered his head, staring at the stone bricks at his toes without saying a word.
Qiao Si looked at him and saw that he was hiding with his head down. He said quietly, "Then bring this bowl of soup in."
Jinlu raised his head, looking embarrassed: "Princess, please don't embarrass me. The prince doesn't accept these things."
"What? Now you can't even have a bowl of soup?" There was a hint of anger in Qiao Si's voice.
Jinlu met her angry gaze and quickly said he didn't dare. At this moment, the door opened and Jinfu came out, inviting Qiao Si in. "Your Highness has something to say to the Princess. Please come in."
Zhang You wanted to follow him in, but was stopped by Jin Lu. Zhang You looked up and saw him smiling and saying, "The prince only invited the princess, so you should wait outside."
Qiao Si had only brought her and Dongmei; Chunhua and Qiuyue were still taking care of Jingzhu. Zhang You, frustrated by Jinlu's previous failures, was now annoyed by his face. Hearing him say that, she suddenly felt a little angry. "If you don't want to go, then don't go," she said, shoving the bowl of soup into his hand, pulling Dongmei aside and waiting.
Jinlu hurriedly took the soup and wanted to say something to Xia He, but when he saw her walking away without looking back, he turned his mouth into: "Hey, what are you angry about?" Zhang You said unhappily: "Nothing!"
Qiao Si and Li Guanghan were talking in the room, while Jinfu and Jinlu were guarding the door. Zhang You and Dongmei were standing about three feet away from them, and could vaguely hear the voices coming from the room.
When Qiao Si first entered, the room was very quiet, and Zhang You and the others couldn't hear any sound from outside. But soon, there was a sound of breaking cups and plates from inside, and then Qiao Si angrily opened the door and walked out.
Jin Fu Jin Lu carefully stood aside, fearing she would vent her anger. Zhang You and Dong Mei walked over quickly, "Princess, what happened?"
"Let's go! Go back!" She said, and then she walked ahead angrily, and Zhang You and the others hurriedly followed. On the way back, many servants saw them, but seeing that Qiao Si was angry, they knew better than to join in the fun.
When they walked back to their yard, many maids in the yard noticed that Qiao Si was in a bad mood. Zhang You and the others followed him into the house and closed the door. There were sounds of smashing and smashing from the house, as well as the voices of Zhang You and Dongmei trying to dissuade him.
Inside the house, as soon as Qiao Si walked in and sat down, Dongmei poured her a cup of warm tea. After drinking it, Qiao Si deliberately threw it on the ground, making a loud noise. Zhang You and Dongmei understood what she meant and tried to persuade her loudly.
Out of sight, Zhang You whispered what had happened. Qiao Si's face remained calm, having just taken a cup of tea to calm his previous anger.
She said calmly, "Nothing. As soon as I walked in, he said he already had a sweetheart and he would marry her as promised, so I gave up on it. I argued with him, but relationships don't have to be one-first-last. Besides, having three wives and four concubines is common, so I didn't mind having one more. Then he got so angry that he threw a cup at me and said I was unreasonable, so naturally I got angry with him."
After listening to this, Zhang You gave her a thumbs up.
Qiao Si is really good at guessing emotions, and he can easily play the roles of jealousy, dominance and pride.
"But if I get angry with him now, isn't that what he wants?" Dongmei was a little worried. If she got angry with him now, how could she continue to pester him later?
Qiao Si wasn't worried at all. "No rush. We're a little tired from acting these past few days anyway, so we need a couple of days off. We don't need to go to their place these days. In two days, we should be leaving for home. This kind of play needs everyone to be present."
Seeing Qiao Si's confident look, he must have come up with a new idea.
It just so happened that Zhang You had been getting turned away every day these past few days, which was really annoying. She had long since given up on going. After all, these were all delicious dishes she had personally cooked, and being turned away without even a glance was an insult to her cooking skills.
"Princess! Don't be angry! It's not good for your health to get angry!" Dongmei stood in front of Qiao Si and said loudly.
Zhang You understood, thinking someone might be eavesdropping outside, so she advised, "Yes, Princess, be careful not to hurt your hand again. The prince is really a jerk. How could he get angry at you and throw things at you!"
The three masters and servants acted so realistically that for the entire afternoon, news spread throughout the courtyard that the second prince was bullying the princess and that the two were having a quarrel.
When Qiao San heard this, he just smiled helplessly and said nothing.
Wei Nian, however, heard about this and came to visit with his hunted game. Qiao Si still didn't treat him well, but he was now an official, so she couldn't ignore him as easily as before, so she received him for a while.
The truth was that Qiao Si and he had been at odds since childhood, and they would always quarrel after just a few words. So when he said that she was almost interfering in other people's relationships, Qiao Si directly turned against him. The two of them argued fiercely and listed each other's shortcomings. In the end, Qiuyue and Dongmei drove him out with the things he brought.
Zhang You looked at his low EQ and shook her head. "You look like you care, but why haven't you gotten the message after all these years?" She also didn't understand Qiao Si in all these years. She had to say such harsh words when she was trying to persuade him to give up Li Guanghan, but ended up making him angry.
When the story of Qiao Si and Li Guanghan reached the emperor, he sent someone to lecture him. Li Guanghan, fearing his father, reluctantly sent someone to give Qiao Si a gift and apologize.
But now it was Qiao Si's turn to turn them away. They remained in this stalemate until the dinner on the last day of the Spring Hunt.
The emperor held a special banquet to reward everyone for their hard work. At the banquet, someone had arranged the seats for Qiao Si and Li Guanghan. Furthermore, the emperor had been trying to bring them together, so the two of them didn't dare to offend him, and thanks to his help, their relationship improved.
The next morning, they packed their bags and finally returned to Beijing by carriage.
