Chapter 235 It was Sheng Sheng and my second brother who asked me to come.
Sheng Sheng turned around and, sure enough, through the tied-up curtains, she saw Xie Yunqi, dressed in blue, pouting as she examined the pink decorations inside the carriage. Everything looked new and interesting to her, and she moved her hands very gently, as if afraid of messing up all the pink in the carriage.
Xie Yunqi has a handsome appearance. Although he is not good at writing, which is the opposite of being a literary genius, he has an artistic temperament when he is not talking. He is also young and looks like a cute little boy.
Therefore, when Xie Yunqi cautiously and carefully explored inside Sheng Sheng's all-pink carriage, he felt a strange sense of harmony.
He burst out laughing.
She suddenly remembered a saying: red and blue have always been a perfect match.
She felt that her fifth brother was a better match for the carriage than she was.
Xie Yunjia also clicked her tongue in amazement: "Looking at it this way, my fifth brother isn't bad-looking at all."
“There’s no one in our family who isn’t good-looking.” Sheng Sheng affectionately took Xie Yunjia’s hand. “Hehehe, let me tell you a little secret, Your Highness. Actually, the first time I saw Your Highness, I was completely captivated by your beauty.”
Sheng Sheng stared intently at Xie Yunjia, his bright eyes filled with seriousness and earnestness.
Xie Yunjia's heart skipped a beat, her ears turned slightly red, and she was unusually embarrassed. She scolded playfully, "You little rascal, just like this little rascal, you only know how to deceive people with your appearance."
"No way, it's obvious! Sheng Sheng was being very serious, okay?"
Just as Xie Yunjia was about to speak, Xie Yunqi leaned most of his body out of the carriage window and shouted, "Sis, let's go! I can't wait to eat Goubuli steamed buns!"
Xie Yunjia: "..."
Xie Yunjia rolled her eyes and remarked, "He's more likable when he's not talking."
Sheng Sheng chuckled, "Alright, alright, Sheng Sheng is really leaving now."
"Alright, go ahead."
Sheng Sheng stepped onto the stool and sat down, then leaned out the window and waved to Xie Yunjia.
Xie Yunjia stood there holding the stone, watching the carriage drive away until it turned out of the official road of Shanglin Hunting Ground.
After Sheng Sheng and his carriage left, Xie Yunjia, who had been saying that she wished she could spend all her time in bed, did not rush back to her tent after seeing them off.
Xie Yunjia, carrying the stone, walked in the opposite direction from her tent. Xiao Tao asked in confusion, "Princess, where are we going?"
Xie Yunjia said calmly, "Xiao Tao, go and have someone make a peach gum soup and send it to Miss Li's tent."
"Miss Li?" Xiao Tao exclaimed in surprise, "Is she the Miss Li who was injured by my younger sister yesterday? But the princess and Miss Li have no personal relationship, how could she suddenly..."
Xiao Tao was puzzled when Xie Yunjia gave her a look, and Xiao Tao obediently shut her mouth: "Yes, Princess, this servant will go and give the order right away."
"Um."
Xie Yunjia walked alone to the door of Li Manyan's tent. The maid guarding the door quickly went in to tell Li Manyan, and soon Xie Yunjia was invited in.
Xie Yunjia's expression was calm. As soon as she entered, Li Manyan, whose expression of surprise had not completely disappeared, said, "Your Highness, please forgive me, this humble woman is unwell and unable to perform the proper etiquette..."
"Alright." Xie Yunjia found a stool and placed it in front of her bed, then sat down on it. "I know you're injured, so there's no need for these formalities."
Li Manyan had never met this "spoiled" eldest princess before. She was extremely surprised when she heard from the maid that the eldest princess had come to see her, as she did not remember having any interaction with this princess.
She had heard that the eldest princess was willful and capricious. Although she had seen her play the zither at a few palace banquets, she had never had any private conversations with her. Therefore, Li Manyan was actually unsure how to get along with Xie Yunjia.
However, Li Manyan now wouldn't easily define a person based on rumors she'd heard.
For example, the Fifth Prince is said to be the little tyrant of the capital, but after several interactions with him, Li Manyan felt that Xie Yunqi was actually a rather cute little boy. His personality was a bit unruly, but he was genuinely kind.
Therefore, Li Manyan dismissed the rumors she had heard about Xie Yunjia.
You can only know what a person is really like by meeting them in person.
Li Manyan smiled and asked, "Princess, what brings you here to see me?"
Xie Yunjia gently stroked Shi Tou's fur, following the direction of his hair. Shi Tou, having been repeatedly instructed and cared for all night, was very well-behaved towards Xie Yunjia, staying quietly the whole time.
While Xie Yunjia was working, she slowly raised her eyes and stared at Li Manyan for a while.
Li Manyan asked, puzzled by the stare, "Princess, what's wrong?"
"No." Xie Yunjia smiled and said in a friendly tone, "I'm just a little curious about what kind of woman she is that made Sheng Sheng and Second Brother ask me to come over and chat with you more often."
"ah?"
Li Manyan paused, taking a moment to process Xie Yunjia's words.
The Second Prince asked Sheng Sheng and... to come and talk to her.
Sheng Sheng had just told her not long ago that she was going to Haijin with several princes today and would not be back for a few days.
So, the reason why the eldest princess came here to find her is because Sheng Sheng and the second prince had both gone to see the eldest princess and asked her to come and chat with her more often while they were away.
Li Manyan was initially puzzled, but then felt somewhat touched.
Sheng Sheng must have felt that with her gone these past few days, the other young ladies would be going out to play, and Li Manyan had to stay in bed to recover from her injuries and couldn't go out. Sheng Sheng was worried that Li Manyan would be bored by herself, so she specially went to find Xie Yunjia to keep her company and try to cheer her up.
But... what is the Second Prince's purpose?
Li Manyan was completely baffled. Before she could figure it out, her heart skipped a beat, leaving her feeling somewhat dazed.
Xie Yunjia found it quite amusing to see her complex expression, alternating between being touched and puzzled.
It is true that Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunchuan asked her to keep Li Manyan company and help her pass the time.
However, what Xie Yunjia didn't say was that these two people didn't agree to come to find her together.
Neither of them knew that the other had visited Xie Yunjia, and the times were even different.
Sheng Sheng came to see her last night, while Xie Yunchuan told her this morning while waiting for Sheng Sheng.
Xie Yunjia was very curious at the time. What kind of magic did this Miss Li have that made her younger sister and older brother come to give her special instructions?
Now that she had seen the person, Xie Yunjia couldn't see anything else, but she did notice one thing—hmm, it seemed that her second brother liked Miss Li.
