After returning to Beijing, Qiao Si studied the techniques of pursuing someone. Qiao Si had never pursued anyone before, but since he was going to play this role, he had to be fully prepared.
After Qiao Si returned home, he sent someone to buy a bunch of storybooks and asked Zhang You and others to help read them through and summarize the methods for her to pursue people.
According to the storybooks, the most common ways to accelerate a relationship are visiting lantern festivals, enjoying beautiful scenery, and sharing hardships. A more advanced approach is to cling to him relentlessly, clinging to him until he can't let go.
Therefore, Qiao Si sent people to monitor Li Guanghan's movements every day and report to her at any time. In this way, every time he went out of the house to do something, Qiao Si would always "run into" him and pester him.
After a while, everyone in the capital knew that Qiao Si fell in love with Li Guanghan at first sight. She chased after him and followed him every day, but Li Guanghan rejected her advances every time.
Qiao Si saw Li Guanghan frequently every day, so naturally, by chance, he ran into him and Yao Yusu.
The Yao family had always kept a low profile, and so did Yao Yushu. Perhaps because her father was the Crown Prince's tutor, Li Guanghan always protected her when they were together, preventing anyone from using this to criticize the Yao family. Therefore, they rarely appeared in public, and Qiao Si happened to stumble upon them dining at Zuixianlou.
Li Guanghan was naturally gentle and caring towards Yao Yushu, but he was immediately displeased when Qiao Si barged into their private room. He had always kept a low profile with Yao Yushu, not wanting to draw attention and arouse jealousy, but Qiao Si's behavior had exposed Yao Yushu directly.
His face immediately turned cold and he slammed his palm on the table angrily.
"Hey! What's wrong? Are you unhappy because I disturbed your meal?" Qiao Si had completely entered the state of a jealous woman.
"Who is this?" Yao Yushuo, a person with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, was gentle and considerate. She did not show much displeasure when being interrupted by Qiao Si. Her good upbringing allowed her to remain polite.
But she was not stupid. She had heard rumors about Li Guanghan and Qiao Si in the capital these days. Looking at the person in front of her who was dressed luxuriously, she already had an idea of her identity, but she still wanted to see what Li Guanghan would do.
"Ashu, she is Princess Dingjia, Qiao Xiting." Li Guanghan always responded gently to Yao Yushu's words.
Qiao Si raised his eyebrows when he heard his different attitudes towards the two of them, and tilted his head to look at Yao Yushu. "I guess this is Yao Yushu, Miss Yao, right?"
Yao Yushu stood up and bowed to her gently, "My Lady, yes."
"Miss Yao is indeed as demure and polite as the rumors say." Qiao Si looked at her and walked over to her seat, a hint of menace in his eyes. "Miss Yao is so generous, I'm sure she won't mind me sitting here, right?"
Qiao Si was about to sit in Yao Yushu's seat. Yao Yushu was caught off guard by her forceful action. Before she could react, Li Guanghan spoke first. His voice was filled with anger, but he was considerate of his status and did not speak too loudly, so it sounded like he was gritting his teeth: "Qiao Xiting! Are you done yet? This is Ah Shu's seat."
Qiao Si seemed not to have heard his angry words. He smiled and sat down. After sitting down, he did not forget to "hypocritically" praise Yao Yushu, "Miss Yao is really good-tempered."
Yao Yushu looked at Li Guanghan who was sitting there patiently without leaving in anger, and then looked at Qiao Si who was staring at her with a smile. She forced a smile and said, "Princess, if you want to sit down, please sit down." After that, she walked to the right side of Li Guanghan and sat down.
After she sat down leisurely, she held Li Guanghan's hand, as if to comfort him. Li Guanghan looked at her smiling face and finally couldn't help but slam the table and leave.
The door of the private room was not closed. Zhang You was standing at the door and happened to witness everything inside.
Seeing Qiao Si like a vicious female supporting character, rushing forward to intimidate the heroine, but being killed by her with just a simple change of position, Zhang You just wanted to shake his head.
As expected, asking Qiao Si to do this kind of thing is really too difficult for her. I will definitely give her some suggestions when I go back and make some changes.
Naturally, Qiao Si was not willing to be outdone and showed off what she had learned in the past few days. She had even memorized Li Guanghan's preferences. She called the waiter and fluently and skillfully listed a list of Li Guanghan's favorite foods. As she spoke, she looked at Yao Yusu provocatively.
Yao Yushu met her gaze, her gentle expression gradually turning expressionless. She thought she understood Li Guanghan and knew his inner thoughts, but now she saw another woman who was equally familiar with his preferences. Her Yao family was already inferior to the Qiao Palace, and now the advantages she was so proud of were also shared by Qiao Si, which made her feel a sense of crisis.
She looked at the flamboyant woman in front of her, and naturally saw the possession and admiration for Li Guanghan in her eyes. She couldn't compare with her in family background, so would she lose in this aspect as well?
This person, who has never been competitive, now ignited a fighting spirit under the stimulation of Qiao Si.
A pair of gentle eyes looked at Li Guanghan, and her voice was gentle: "Guanghan, I want to go to the rouge shop to buy some rouge later, can you come with me?"
Li Guanghan could see that this was Yao Yushu's excuse, a ploy to avoid bringing Qiao Si along and annoy her. Li Guanghan smiled and agreed, "Okay, I ordered a new rouge for you at Daixiangfang a few days ago, and I'm going to pick it up today."
Zhang You was originally sighing at how realistic Qiao Si's acting was, when he suddenly heard them talking about Daixiangfang...
Daixiangfang...
She is familiar with this stuff.
Seventy percent of the rouge shops in the capital city actually sell the same rouge styles she had made in Dingzhou. Due to material constraints, these rouges can only be produced in the north, and the ones in the capital are all purchased from merchants in the north.
To put it in an exaggerated way, it is not an exaggeration to say that these are all her products.
But, this kind of thing cannot be said out loud.
Qiao Si couldn't help laughing when she heard what they said. Li Guang looked at her with a cold face, silently asking her what she was laughing at. Qiao Si waved her hands and finally stopped laughing. "It's okay, it's okay. I just didn't expect Miss Yao to like rouge. I thought Miss Yao was as calm as a chrysanthemum and would disdain such a thing."
"Your Highness, you are joking. Everyone loves beauty. Moreover, the rouge produced by Daixiangfang has been very popular in the capital in the past two years. It is understandable that your Highness didn't know about it. If your Highness likes it, why don't I give you a box?" Yao Yushuo said politely.
"No, I'm not used to the rouge sold outside." Qiao Si restrained his smile and rejected her kindness.
As soon as Zhang You saw Qiao Si's smile, she knew that she had just burst into laughter. She almost couldn't hold it in and burst into laughter too.
