Chapter 38 Eat melons, eat melons, the famous scene is coming!



Chu Yaoyao rushed forward with her head down. She passed through several rockery and the sounds behind her gradually became blurred. The garden of the Princess's Mansion was very large.

As expected, she got lost.

She turned left and right for an unknown amount of time before she passed a corner and suddenly bumped into something, falling flat on her butt.

Zhao Jingqi was most impatient with the flattery and showing off among the rich girls. She wanted to enjoy the scenery and relax, and then go back after the poetry reading was over.

I had just walked across the corridor when something soft hit my knee.

"Little princess?"

Zhao Jingqi quickly picked up Yaoyao and looked around. "Why are you here alone? Is it painful?"

Meeting her concerned eyes, the originally slight sense of grievance turned into a full sense.

Chu Yaoyao couldn't help herself anymore. She raised her slightly red palms, and her big eyes quickly filled with tears. "Wow, it hurts!"

Seeing that her palm, which should have been white and tender, was now slightly red, Zhao Jingqi felt distressed and helped blow on it, "I'm sorry, little princess, it's all my fault."

"It's not my sister, it's..." Chu Yaoyao cried and pointed behind her.

【It’s not my sister’s fault. 】

Seeing this, Zhao Jingqi vaguely guessed something. Could it be that the little princess was bullied? "Then sister will take you to apply the medicine, okay?" Zhao Jingqi took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, saying gently.

Chu Yaoyao blushed, and in fact she regretted it after she finished crying.

[How embarrassing! ]

She buried her face in the crook of Zhao Jingqi's neck and refused to come out no matter what.

Seeing this, Zhao Jingqi shook her head helplessly, still blaming him for wanting to save face.

This is... too cute.

"Hey! Isn't this Miss Zhao? When did you get a younger sister?"

A woman wearing a water green gauze dress and delicate makeup walked towards me.

But the sarcastic tone of voice greatly reduced her beauty.

Zhao Jingqi nodded slightly, "Miss Xiao San, long time no see."

Hearing this address, Xiao Yunrou's smiling mouth instantly straightened.

Noticing the child in Zhao Jingqi's arms, she said with a fake smile:

"I haven't been out for a long time, I didn't know that General Zhao had another daughter?"

Hearing this, Zhao Jingqi frowned slightly, and her tone gradually turned cold, "What do you mean, Miss Xiao San?"

Xiao Yunrou clenched her hands tightly in her wide sleeves. Here it comes again. Do you have to emphasize the 'three'? She covered her mouth with her hands and pretended to be surprised. "Did I guess wrong?"

[Eh? What is that?]

Noticing the figure behind the rockery, Chu Yaoyao suddenly had an idea, and once the thought of causing trouble came up, she couldn't suppress it at all.

She raised her head from Zhao Jingqi's arms and called out softly, "Sister~"

Zhao Jingqi looked at her helplessly. Well, she really didn't expect that the little princess was such a person who was eager to cause chaos in the world.

What else can she do? She can only pamper him.

Zhao Jingqi apologized silently in her heart, I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I didn't mean to do that, but the little princess called me sister.

She lowered her head and rubbed Yaoyao's full forehead, her tone full of doting, "What's the matter?"

Chu Yaoyao felt itchy and kept dodging with a smile, and the two of them started playing as if no one was around.

Seeing the state of the two, Xiao Yunrou became more certain of her guess.

This child must be the daughter of General Zhao.

Why is he so deeply in love with his deceased wife, and why is he afraid that his children will suffer and not remarry?

It's all a lie! Soon, Zhao Jingqi's situation will become the same as hers! Thinking of this, Xiao Yunrou suddenly felt more balanced.

Turning around inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a figure behind her, and she immediately turned around and shouted:

"Zhao Jingqi, this is the eldest princess's banquet, not just any bastard is qualified to attend!"

She said this so quickly that Zhao Jingqi didn't have time to cover Yaoyao's ears.

"Xiao Yunrou, are you crazy?" Zhao Jingqi looked at her with cold eyes.

"Don't think everyone's home is as messy as yours!"

Zhao Jingqi looked at her with disdain, "Sure enough, people with a heart see everything as dirty!"

Knowing that the person hiding behind had not left yet, Xiao Yunrou stiffened her neck and continued to shout: "What's wrong with what I said? An illegitimate daughter who is not presentable is not worthy of appearing at the banquet!"

A clear but angry voice reached the ears of several people.

Xie Jiancheng walked out from behind the rockery.

【It’s finally out. 】

Hearing this, Xie Jiancheng paused. Could it be that the little princess had already discovered him? Seeing him, Chu Yaoyao grinned and shouted in a milky voice, "Cousin!"

"What?" Xiao Yunrou's face suddenly turned pale.

The King of Canaan and his family are all in their fiefdom, so the only brothers left for the eldest princess are...

Realizing this, she knelt on the ground in panic and said, "I have been feeling unwell recently and have been feeling dizzy. I did not recognize the princess for a while. Please forgive me, princess."

"Humph!" Chu Yaoyao turned her head and looked aside, "Scold me, you bad guy! I won't forgive you!"

[Judging from your behavior just now, you must have caused trouble for Sister Zhao more than once. I must help Sister Zhao vent her anger! ]

After all, Sister Zhao will be her sister-in-law in the future!

Hearing this, Xie Jiancheng looked at Zhao Jingqi in surprise.

Now he was sure that the little princess had already discovered him.

I just don’t know what’s so special about Miss Zhao that makes the little princess so close to her.

He agreed with Yaoyao's words: "Indeed, if you are disrespectful to the princess, you should be punished!"

Xiao Yunrou looked at Xie Jiancheng in panic, "Master Xie, I..."

Xie Jiancheng didn't even look at her, and said softly: "There is a poetry gathering over at the pavilion, would you like to go and see it, little princess and Miss Zhao?"

"Go." Chu Yaoyao nodded her head vigorously.

[It's a must, the famous scene must not be missed. 】

Zhao Jingqi first checked Yaoyao's palms and found that they had returned to whiteness and tenderness. Then she nodded, "Okay."

After a few people left, the person who had been hiding in the dark showed up.

"Why is my sister kneeling down?"

The man walked up to Xiao Yunrou, helped her up, and whispered in her ear, "You are far inferior to the one in the palace. What can you use to compete with me?"

After saying that, she chuckled and walked away.

Only Xiao Yunrou was left, staring at her back, almost biting her teeth, "Xiao Yunxi!"

Chu Yaoyao and the others walked over and were still some distance away from the pavilion when they heard someone loudly say:

"Why not make summer the theme?"

Chu Yaoyao was excited.

【It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early! 】

She pointed in the direction of the pavilion and threw her upper body forward, "Hurry!"

【Hurry, hurry! The famous scene is coming! 】

Seeing this, Zhao Jingqi had no choice but to speed up his pace.

As soon as I stepped onto the steps, I heard: "The bright moon on the branch startled the magpie..."

Chu Yaoyao shook her head and recited silently in her mind.

[…Two or three drops of rain in front of the mountain…]

When Shi Jingjing saw Xie Jiancheng, her eyes suddenly lit up and her voice became louder.

"…The old thatched cottage is beside the forest, and the bridge over the stream suddenly appears when the road turns!"

Shi Jingjing thought proudly, although I can't recite as many as 300 poems, but any one of the poems I learned during compulsory education can make you ancient people drop your jaws!

However, she did not see any surprise on the face of the most handsome young man.

Why! Unlike her doubts, Chu Yaoyao was very satisfied.

【This time I finally got to eat a hot melon! 】

Note: "The bright moon startled the magpie on the branch" comes from Xin Qiji's "Xijiangyue·Walking on the Yellow Sand Road at Night"
