Chapter 114 Flying to the Branch
Seeing Rong Chen leave in a rage, Shu Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes. At the same time, she felt a little aggrieved. She was just joking.
Is it necessary for him to be so serious? Shu Wan became more and more angry as he thought about it, and finally he just got angry.
The consequence of the cold war between the two is.
When Yuwenzhu ran to the Imperial Master's Mansion, Rong Chen actually let the person in. Although his face was livid, at least he did not throw the person out.
Shu Wan also gladly accepted Wang Yuwenyan's invitation.
The two of them were secretly competing with each other. Shu Wan was really angry. At first, she had some small thoughts and secretly decided in her heart that if Rong Chen came to apologize to her, she would reluctantly forgive him.
But she waited for two days, and instead of receiving an apology from Rong Chen, she saw Yuwen Zhu coming in and out of the Imperial Master's Mansion every day, coming in joyfully and leaving happily.
Then she got really angry, the kind that couldn't be appeased!
Now, let alone forgiving Rong Chen if he apologized, she would definitely ignore him even if Rong Chen knelt down and called her dad.
Yu Wenyan invited her to go boating today and watch the lanterns tomorrow, and Shu Wan agreed to all of them.
She just wanted to piss Rong Chen off to death!
Shu Wan and Yuwen Yan are close, and Xiaoju and Ping'er are like a pair of conjoined twins, inseparable.
That day, Shu Wan and Yu Jianning were having dinner in a restaurant, and two maids were waiting outside.
"Hey, Xiaoju, what kind of person is Princess Shuyin?" Ping'er suddenly asked.
"The princess is a very nice person!" Xiaoju nodded seriously, "Sister Ping'er, why do you suddenly ask this question?" Xiaoju was puzzled! "Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to ask!" Ping'er smiled, "I just want to find out about the princess's preferences and personality, in case if I ask the princess for something in the future, not only will the princess not be satisfied, but she will be even more unwilling and refuse to give in!"
"Sister Ping'er, what does the princess want to ask for? I'll go and ask for you. The princess is a very good person, she will definitely agree to it!" Xiaoju looked at Ping'er with an innocent face. In her imagination, Shu Wan would agree to anything.
"I'm afraid the princess won't be willing to let her go!" Ping'er looked at Xiaoju with a strange smile.
"Reluctant? The princess is usually very generous! Sister Ping'er, please tell me, what exactly do you want? It's so mysterious?" Xiaoju's face was full of confusion and curiosity. She didn't know what Ping'er wanted to ask Shu Wan for.
"What I want is not an object, but a living person!" Ping'er looked at her mysteriously.
"A person?" Xiaoju was surprised. "Who?" She didn't understand what a person was needed for.
"Do you really want to know?" Ping'er kept it a secret.
"Yes, Sister Ping'er, please tell me quickly and stop teasing me!" Xiaoju quickly spoke in a coquettish and flattering manner. During this period, Ping'er was especially nice to her, just like her own sister. Naturally, she also treated Ping'er as her own sister.
"This person is both far away and right in front of us!" Ping'er pointed at her and said with a smile.
"Ah?" Xiaoju was a little unresponsive, "Me?" Her mouth was open so wide that an egg could fit in it.
"Yes, you!" Ping'er nodded to indicate that she did not hear wrong.
"Why me? What do you want the princess to do?" Xiaoju couldn't understand what Ping'er wanted her to do.
"It's not me who wants it!" Ping'er pretended to be mysterious. "Why do I need a silly goose like you? If I were a man, I would have an explanation. But since we are both women, what do I need you for?" As she spoke, she did not forget to tease and mock Xiaoju.
"Sister, please stop laughing at me!" Xiaoju's face turned slightly red. "Good sister, please tell me the truth!" She begged.
"I'll tell you the truth!" Ping'er pretended to poke Xiaoju's forehead with her hand. "It's my prince. The prince has mentioned you several times and praised you for being sensible!"
"Ah, why? What did the prince mention about me?" Xiaoju's already flushed face became even hotter and she didn't know what to do. She was completely confused.
"I told you that you are a silly girl and you don't believe me!" Ping'er said angrily. "Of course the prince likes you and wants to take you as his concubine." Ping'er teased.
"Sister, please stop talking nonsense!" Xiaoju was panicked, "It would be embarrassing if someone heard us." She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into!
"Why are you ashamed? There's no one else here!" Ping'er covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm telling you, it's your blessing that the prince likes you. You must seize this opportunity. If you miss it, you will never get it again."
"Sister Ping'er..." Xiaoju was ashamed and angry, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Ping'er.
"Just tell me, are you willing to go to the palace and serve the prince?" Ping'er didn't say anything else to her, just asked this.
"I...I..." How should Xiaoju answer such a question?
If she said she didn't want to, this was her chance to soar to the sky. But if she said she wanted to, how could she say it out loud? It was so embarrassing!
"Okay, I get it!" Ping'er teased, "Just wait for me to ask the princess for help, and then live your good life!"
"Sister Ping'er, you always make fun of me!" Xiaoju said coquettishly, "If you say that again, I will ignore you!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything!" Ping'er agreed hastily. "But, when you become the lady of this palace one day, you are not allowed to forget me!" She pretended to be angry.
"What did Sister Ping'er say?" Xiaoju lowered her head and spoke shyly, "In Xiaoju's heart, Sister Ping'er is already my biological sister. How could Ping'er do such an ungrateful thing?" Xiaoju couldn't help but imagine in her mind what life would be like after she became Yuwen Yan's concubine.
He wore gold and silver, and was followed and served by servants whenever he went out. Everyone he saw had to greet him respectfully.
She really envied that kind of day!
"But there is a real problem right now!" Ping'er's smile faded and she sighed with some embarrassment.
"What problem?" Xiaoju suddenly widened her eyes and wondered if something big had happened.
"It's like this. The princess came all the way from Beishuo and didn't abandon you even when she encountered difficulties along the way. It can be seen that her feelings for you are deep!" Ping'er coaxed, "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others like! Our prince is a friend of your master. If he asks for you like this, he will be really embarrassed and feel sorry for the princess. So, he has been hiding his feelings for you!" Ping'er's tone was quite regretful.
"I see..." Xiaoju answered dejectedly.
"So, what our prince meant is that he wants to understand the princess' preferences and then give her a perfect gift before asking. However, the prince has been investigating for a long time and still hasn't figured out the princess' true preferences. Now he is worried!" Ping'er kept sighing.
"What should we do then?" Xiaoju looked at Ping'er with great pity.
"There is a way!" Ping'er's expression eased a little, "But I need your cooperation. I wonder if you are willing, Xiaoju!"
"What method?" Xiaoju asked happily as the only words she heard were 'there is a method'.
"You are the princess's personal maid, so you naturally know what she does and says to others!" Ping'er looked at her seriously and said, "If you can tell us the princess's whereabouts, words and deeds, we may be able to know what the princess really needs. Then, we can give her a gift that she really wants!"
"But this is not a good idea..." Xiaoju was a little hesitant. She knew that this required her to monitor Shu Wan's whereabouts, and she found it hard to accept.
"But Xiaoju, you see, we are not doing this out of any ill will towards the princess!" Ping'er advised, "We are doing this just to know the princess's feelings, don't you think?"
"This..." Xiaoju felt that what Ping'er said made sense, but she was still hesitant.
"Oh my silly sister!" Ping'er immediately used her ultimate move, "Don't you want to marry the prince? Do you have the heart to let the prince endure such lovesickness alone? Don't you see that the prince has been inviting the princess out for a few days, but in fact he has been staring at you and can't take his eyes off you?"
"But I..." Xiaoju even stuttered, "How can I keep an eye on the princess's whereabouts? She just sleeps and reads storybooks in the mansion every day, and doesn't do anything else!" What she meant was that she had agreed to monitor Shu Wan.
"That's easy." Knowing that she had agreed, Ping'er smiled happily, "Just write down what the princess does every day, who she talks to, and what she says. I will report it to the prince. Maybe the prince will understand her preferences from something the princess says. Sister Xiaoju, your good days are coming."
"Okay then!" Xiaoju buried her head and spoke in a low voice.
"That's right." Ping'er smiled and took her hand, "Sister Xiaoju, please don't let the princess know our little secret!"
"But what if the princess asks?" Xiaoju asked.
"You can't tell her even if she asks, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted." Ping'er hurriedly reminded her, "Sister Xiaoju, for the sake of your early marriage with the prince, you must not accidentally expose the matter. We must prepare a gift and give the princess a big surprise!"
"Sister Ping'er, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm not going to pay attention to you!" Xiaoju was so embarrassed by the words "a happy marriage" that she turned around and ran away.
It's so embarrassing.
She never thought that the prince would actually be interested in her... in her! What good is she?
Xiaoju thought so modestly in her heart, but the corners of her mouth that kept rising could well explain how happy she was at that moment.
Xiaoju, who was so focused on the fact that she was about to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix, didn't notice that after she turned and ran away, Ping'er's smiling face suddenly turned cold, and her eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.
At that time, Xiaoju could have seen all of this by simply turning around, but unfortunately she didn't.
She still dreams of marrying Yuwen Yan.
…
As the sun set, Yuwen Yan considerately sent Shu Wan back to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
"Princess Shuyin, I'm leaving first!" Yuwen Yan said to Shu Wan with a smile.
Shu Wan raised his eyes and just saw Yu Wenzhu coming out of the Imperial Master's Mansion, and Rong Chen who was with her. Shu Wan suddenly laughed out of anger.
"Thank you, Prince Li, for sending me back!" Shu Wan's face was full of smiles, and his tone of voice became much gentler.
"It's just a small favor, you're too polite, Princess." Yuwen Yan nodded slightly.
"I want to pick out some books tomorrow. Would His Royal Highness Prince Li be willing to accompany me?" Shu Wan asked, deliberately raising his voice.
"The princess has invited me so graciously. If I postpone it, it will be unreasonable for me to do so!" Yuwen Yan agreed.
"In that case, thank you very much!" Shu Wan thanked.
"Master, thank you!" Yu Wenzhu spoke shyly, with a hint of showing off in front of Shu Wan.
"It's okay!" Rong Chen said lightly.
Yu Wenzhu didn't think much about his tone. After all, he had always been like this.
"See you tomorrow?" Yu Wenyan asked tentatively.
"See you tomorrow!" Rong Chen replied.
"Your Highness Prince Li, please don't break your promise tomorrow!" Shu Wan said loudly.
"I will keep this in mind and go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to pick up the princess tomorrow!" Yuwen Yan quickly agreed.
"Okay, goodbye!" Shu Wan said and walked quickly inside.
When passing by Rong Chen and Yu Wenzhu, he held his head high, walked with his head held high, and kept his eyes fixed.
He just ignored the two of them.
"Goodbye!" Yuwen Zhu said happily.
Rong Chen nodded slightly and said nothing.
Shu Wan was a little hesitant as she walked forward. Her vanity got the better of her and she still hoped that Rong Chen would take the initiative to say hello to her or something, but Rong Chen didn't say anything.
Shu Wan was so angry that her chest heaved, and then she tried to calm herself down.
Yes, it was because of that woman Yuwen Zhu. If she hadn't been getting close to Rong Chen and getting in her way, why would she be so angry? It was all because of Yuwen Zhu!
…
The cold war between the two continued until Queen Gao's birthday.
The birthday party was scheduled for the afternoon, so the wives of courtiers who came to the palace for the banquet had to have lunch first.
Shu Wan didn't want to go to such a banquet, but she had to go!
She has been waiting for this for a long time. Today is a good opportunity, how can she miss it.
It was already late for her to go out, but Rong Chen's carriage was still parked at the gate of the mansion and had not left.
Shu Wan raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and got into his carriage.
"Princess Shuyin!" Feng Ling, who had disappeared for many days, appeared beside the carriage today, smiling and greeting Shu Wan.
"Hmm!" Shu Wan said in a very cold voice.
"My master has something to discuss with you. I wonder if Princess would be so kind as to talk to you?" Feng Ling stated his purpose straight away.
"Hmph!" Shu Wan sneered and ignored him. Who did Rong Chen think he was? He could ignore her if he wanted to, but if he wanted to pay attention to her, she would have to run over to him? "I have nothing to say to him!" She got into her carriage and closed the curtain.
Ridiculous, this Rong Chen, has he changed his character today?
Shu Wan's carriage ran off the street and disappeared from sight.
"Master, I am useless!" Feng Ling apologized through the curtain.
"Got it!" Rong Chen said lightly in the carriage. He had heard what Shu Wan said just now.
He looked at the portrait in his hand! Miss Xiaoju is about to start making trouble, so here's a high sugar warning!
