As the door opened, a moon-white dress came into view, with faintly glittering butterfly patterns visible on the hem.
The single spiral bun was adorned with only a pearl hairpin and a jade hairpin.
Chen Shurong curved her lips. She was still like that, liking simplicity.
The woman was slightly surprised to see the two men standing at the door, then she bowed her head and saluted: "Li Shuang greets Princess Yongjia, hello, second cousin."
Chen Shurong concealed his joy, but his voice was still filled with pleasure, "Hello, Miss Li,"
Xie Yunzhao was disturbed, and although he was unhappy, he knew how to be polite, "Cousin, come in and sit down."
Li Shuang and his servant followed them in, Qingzhu and Yinzhi followed in to serve, and asked someone to serve tea and leave the door open.
Xie Yunzhao and Chen Shurong sat on both sides of the couch, while Li Shuang sat on a chair beside them.
Chen Shurong looked at the square table in the middle and suddenly found it pleasing to the eye, otherwise he would be laughed at.
Xie Yunzhao looked at Li Shuang. She was frail and dressed so plainly. He had seen from childhood that this girl would not grow tall.
Unlike Rongrong, the eldest princess was pampered, but she was not weak and had even secretly climbed a tree with him.
"My cousin is weak, so there is no need to come here so early."
Li Shuang was indeed weak and her voice was low and soft. "I heard that my second cousin was injured, so I should have come to visit him first, but it was a little late when I arrived yesterday."
Chen Shurong was drinking tea. This girl was the most polite.
Xie Yunzhao waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, my injury is almost healed."
Li Shuang smiled: "I heard that my second cousin was injured in order to protect the princess. The princess is also grateful to my second cousin and sent someone to deliver tonic medicine last night."
Chen Shurong was a little embarrassed. Li Shuang arrived in the afternoon, so she knew what happened in the evening?
Xie Yunzhao's smile faded when he heard her words. "The princess is my fiancée. I can give her to her whenever I want. There's nothing to say about this."
Li Shuang's face froze, then turned red. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "What my second cousin said is right. It's perfectly normal."
Shen Shurong glared at him, don’t scare the little girl.
Xie Yunzhao was dissatisfied. Rongrong had clearly overcome numerous obstacles to come and see him, and was criticized by that damn Xie Yunzheng, but Li Shuang said it was out of gratitude for saving her.
But when he saw Rongrong glaring at him, he stopped talking.
Chen Shurong tried to smooth things over, pointing to the dessert plate beside her and said, "Miss Li, try this cherry pastry, it tastes great."
"Thank you, Princess." Li Shuang nodded. "I remember that my eldest cousin loved cherry cakes the most. When I went to my house with my second cousin when we were little..."
"Eat quickly," Xie Yunzhao narrowed his eyes. Why did he mention that dead man? "My cousin is more talkative now than when she was a child."
Li Shuang quickly put the cherry puff into her mouth and took a bite.
Shen Shurong gouged him again. If there hadn't been a square table between them, she would have pinched him. How could she treat her good sister like this?
Although she didn't like to mention Xie Yunzheng, Li Shuang liked it. He was so overbearing that he didn't allow anyone to mention him. "It's better for a girl to be lively than to be stuffy."
Xie Yunzhao stared at her while she ate. Li Shuang had just finished a piece when she looked up and saw Xie Yunzhao's focused eyes, which were filled with pressure.
She gritted her teeth and picked up another piece, took a bite, and said, "Thank you, Princess. It's delicious."
Xie Yunzhao withdrew his gaze. That’s right.
He smiled and looked at Shen Shurong, “Rongrong also eats, Xuji’s wine and food are very good, but the breakfast is not as good as Fujuquan, I will take you there another day,”
Chen Shurong smiled, "Thank you, Brother Yunzhao, you are familiar with these,"
"There are many fun places. When I get better, I'll take you there."
"Okay, then I can also take Brother Yun Zhao to the Royal Hot Springs,"
"Speaking of hot springs, I heard from my mother that you were naughty once. The princess left for a while and you hid yourself. She was so scared that she thought you had sunk to the bottom."
Chen Shurong raised the round fan to cover her entire face, "How could the Duke's wife know? I told my mother not to tell anyone."
“Scared your dad from the other pool…” He ran over shirtless, “Hahahaha,”
"Don't laugh," Shen Shurong hit him with a fan, "You had more embarrassing moments when you were a kid, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Xie Yunzhao was not afraid. He wanted to hear how much Rongrong remembered. "Just tell me what you want!"
"I remember you once climbed a tree..." Shen Shurong stopped talking.
Xie Yunzhao's thoughts began to wander, and his face gradually turned red as he recalled, "I can't say it!" Was she going to talk about the time he climbed a tree to poop?
He was five years old at that time, and the more the adults forbad him to expose himself, the more rebellious he became. But he didn't remember that she was there?
Besides, she was only three years old at the time, so it was impossible for her to remember what she saw?
Chen Shurong covered his face and smiled, remembering that when he was seven years old, he was digging a bird's nest on a tree. Duke Lu passed by and shouted loudly, scaring him so much that he fell off the tree, and the root of a weed pierced his butt.
She was under the tree at the time, and the child's gloating was clearly visible on her face. She laughed for a long time and even imitated him by walking with her butt covered.
It turns out that he was also quite naughty when he was a child. When Chen Shurong thinks about it now, he feels that it was a long, long time ago.
Looking at Shen Shurong's smile, Xie Yunzhao's mouth began to dry out again. He hadn't kissed her just now, and now the scene was...
The girl on the chair picked up the cup and drank tea.
Xie Yunzhao turned his head and saw it, wondering: "Why is my cousin still here?"
The girl's hand holding the teacup paused.
Shen Shurong wanted to pinch him again, how could he talk like that?
What's more, he has just arrived.
Xie Yunzhao didn't think so. This was his cousin's yard, and his sixteen-year-old cousin should just take a look and leave out of courtesy.
Li Shuang raised her eyes to look at Xie Yunzhao. Seeing that he insisted on asking that question, she did not stand up to say goodbye. She just said softly: "I find your conversation interesting."
Is it interesting enough to keep listening? Don’t you see your future cousin’s wife? Don’t you know how to give them some space? For the first time, Xie Yunzhao understood what it meant to be tactless. In the past, others always criticized him.
"Go play with your cousin," Xie Yunzhao lost his patience and pointed at the snacks next to Li Shuang and said, "Didn't you say he likes cherry pastries? Take him along."
Li Shuang could no longer sit still, so she quickly stood up, picked up her snacks and left. "Li Shuang, goodbye,"
The moment she turned around, Shen Shurong saw that her eyes were red.
I wanted to say something to save the situation, but when I thought about the unreliable person next to me, I gave up.
Besides, Xie Yunzheng is not someone you can easily meet, so she would be happy if you gave her this opportunity.
Chen Shurong stared at the little girl's back. If Xie Yunzhao was unhappy, he shouldn't have let her in.
Rongrong glared at herself for her.
He stood up and said, "Everyone get out," and walked over to close the door.
Before Li Shuang walked out of the courtyard gate, she turned around and saw that the door, which had been open all the time, was returned to the state it was in before she came, tightly closed.
A single man and a single woman are in the same room, and she is a princess of a country, haha!
Xie Yunzhao walked back, it seemed that it was not appropriate now, there was no atmosphere, "Rongrong,"
Shen Shurong stared at him, "Is this how you treat a little girl?"
Why not?
Xie Yunzhao took her hand and said, "Go sit by the bed, okay?"
