Chapter 71: Strongly piercing everyone's eyes
"If Brother He doesn't want to see me, just tell me. I...I won't pester him." Zhou Yao stood up with tears in her eyes and was about to walk out of the lookout pavilion.
Shen He hurriedly stood up and took her hand, coaxing her: "How can I not want to see you? Who told you that? I don't want to see anyone, but I won't want to see you. I miss you too late."
Zhou Yao pulled her hand out of his, but didn't move on. She only complained in a tearful voice, "You didn't even go to the garden party that day. You knew I was going to go. If you hadn't gone, they would have..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhou Yao burst into tears, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Shen He couldn't bear to see Jiao Jiao'er crying, so he quickly hugged her in his arms and apologized: "I was wrong that day. I really couldn't leave because of something. I didn't expect that I would make you feel wronged. I deserve to die. I apologize. I won't do this again in the future, okay?"
"What's so important? Is it because of my sister?" Zhou Yao turned around and asked, staring straight at Shen He, not missing any change in his expression.
She wanted to see what happened between him and Su Rui!
When Su Rui was mentioned, Chen He's eyes flashed with anger, and he cursed, "How could I delay things because of that lowly slave? Who the hell is she? I wouldn't even look at her. She's such a monster. If it were me, she shouldn't be serving Yun Ji. I should ask the monks at Fahua Temple to perform a ritual to save her soul."
Zhou Yao didn't expect that Shen He would dislike Su Rui so much. Was he saying this on purpose to deceive her that he and Su Rui had nothing to do with each other, or did something happen between them that day?
"Brother He, why do you say that to my sister? Is there something unpleasant going on between you two?"
"I feel sick when I see her. How could I have any quarrel with her?" He tried to distance himself from her, but these words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
He and Su Rui were not quarreling at all.
He now wished he could skin her alive and strip off all the hair on her body to vent his anger.
The reason why he didn't go to the garden party was because that bitch Su Rui shaved off all his hair.
The hair on your body is given by your parents, and in the Great Zhao it is absolutely not allowed to cut your hair at will, but that bitch Su Rui actually cut it all off.
He was also made to stand straight all night, causing him to defecate and urinate all over himself. He looked so embarrassed when he left.
In order to avoid being discovered, he had to keep it a secret and hide in the house, not daring to see anyone. He endured for more than half a month before someone finally secretly got him a suitable wig to wear on his head.
I dare not move too much and have to be careful at all times to prevent the wig from falling off.
Don't let him see that bitch! He will repay her tenfold or a hundredfold!
"It's not easy for my sister either, don't talk about her like that." Zhou Yao persuaded her, but she was happy in her heart. Chen He seemed to be really fed up with Su Rui, so he said with a pitiful and helpless look: "Okay, let's not talk about my sister anymore. You know, after the autumn hunt, I will change my surname. However... I won't be the eldest daughter, but the second daughter. Brother He, I'm afraid we are not destined to be together."
The two families were already discussing marriage, so Shen He was naturally the first to know the news.
Although the second daughter's status is not as high as that of the legitimate daughter, with Su Rui sitting in the legitimate daughter's position, the difference between the second legitimate daughter and the second daughter is actually not that big.
Although Shen He was somewhat disgusted, seeing that Zhou Yao was gentle and considerate, she was a very obedient person. Even if she became his legal wife in the future, she would not stop him from taking a concubine. Having a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine was not a bad thing.
"Whether you're the second daughter or the first daughter, I'm attracted to you as a person, not your status. You don't have to worry about my mother. You've always had a good reputation. If you change your surname, you'll be a daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. I can convince her. On the day you change your surname, I'll propose marriage. It'll be a double happiness."
Shen He said as he reached in unsteadily.
"Oh! Brother He, you are talking nonsense again! It's getting late, I, I'm going to change into hunting clothes." Zhou Yao ran away shyly, and as soon as she got into the tent camp, she put on a smiling face, and the corners of her mouth were almost smiling to her ears.
"Miss, Prince Shen is deeply in love with you. I congratulate you. You will be the prince's wife soon." Hongxiu, who followed, complimented her at the right time.
Zhou Yao was very pleased to hear this and said generously, "Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. You can go with me and be a first-class maid."
"Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." Hongxiu said as she opened the tent curtain for Zhou Yao, and a faint incense fragrance wafted in her face.
It seemed to be slightly different from the original one, but Zhou Yao was so happy at the moment that she didn't notice this difference at all.
The carefully prepared hunting coat also made her feel more and more beautiful. While touching it, she asked Hong Xiu, "Do you think Su Rui will wear that hunting coat?"
"The young lady doesn't have any other hunting clothes. Everyone will be there for the polo game later, so she has no choice. With the young lady as a foil, you will definitely soar to the sky."
"It doesn't matter if she doesn't wear it." Although she said it didn't matter, Zhou Yao's hands were anxious to take off her clothes and put on the tight hunting coat.
Due to time constraints, hunting did not begin on the first day of the autumn hunt, and the event began with polo.
The royal hunting grounds were enormous, with as many as ten polo fields.
The nobles of Shengjing all love to play polo, both boys and girls have been playing since elementary school. Although the emperor is not present today, Empress Lin, the eldest prince, and several princesses are all here, so it is the time to show off.
Whether they were seeking a career in government or a favorable marriage, young people from all families came on stage one after another. Naturally, everyone gathered on the polo field.
When Zhou Yao arrived, most of the people were already there. Su Ye had also changed into his hunting clothes. He rode up to her and said jokingly, "Don't look for him anymore. Your brother He is not going to play today. He is sitting in the tent."
"Brother, don't talk nonsense. I'm not looking for anyone." Zhou Yao lowered her head shyly, and her movement was just right to attract the attention of Shen He who was sitting over there.
"Just watch, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, Big Brother will definitely help you win the next game today, so that all the powerful people in Shengjing will open their eyes and see that you are the noble lady of our Yong'an Marquis Mansion."
"What about my sister?" Zhou Yao asked deliberately.
"She's nothing, she's just a lowly servant, how can she compare to you? These powerful people today are not fools, how can they be attracted by a lowly slave like her..."
Before Su Ye could finish his words, there was a commotion ahead.
Looking closely, it was Yun Ji coming.
Dressed in a prince's crown and robes, he exuded a natural aura. The moment he appeared, everything around him paled in comparison, and everyone's eyes were no longer focused on anything else.
Until a hint of blush appeared behind him.
Like a gorgeous flower blooming in pure white, it powerfully catches everyone's eyes.
She is extremely gorgeous and charming, with charm in her eyes. The floating veil makes her look more lively, not to mention her skin that is barely visible, like white jade. The slight ringing of bells seems to be tapping on the heart, which is captivating.
Not to mention all the men present, even the women were staring in amazement.
Su Ye felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped hard.
