The next day, the old nanny next to Li Chengyun brought over a bottle of perfume, saying that there was something wrong with the perfume.
Jiang Shuwan was startled, thinking that some fearless person was causing her trouble again. After studying it for a while, she realized that Xianglu hadn't noticed anything and that Li Chengyun was just playing a trick on her.
Jiang Shuwan was furious.
"Is he just bored out of his mind?!"
Jiang Shuwan was angry, and since the weather had been nice these past few days, she went out for a stroll again.
Donglai Street.
The streets were bustling with people, creating a lively atmosphere.
Since the three generals' mansions were under their protection, no more hooligans and ruffians came to cause trouble on Donglai Street. The Kyoto government also sent people to patrol from time to time. For a time, the street was very safe. In addition, the street was beautifully and luxuriously built, so even if people didn't buy anything, many people would come to stroll around and have fun.
Of course, it's common for women to get carried away and buy things they like while shopping.
Overall, everything is thriving.
Today, the Fourth Prince Li Chengyun still had no official duties, and he didn't even go to court. As usual, he was scolded by the old emperor, but in the end, nothing happened. He went to Donglai Street to intercept Jiang Shuwan after having lunch at the East Palace.
"Fourth brother, the county princess likes to listen to operas, so you should take her out more often. But she won't listen to The Legend of the White Snake anymore, the ending is too ominous. I think The Peony Pavilion and The Romance of the Western Chamber are quite good."
—The Crown Princess's words flashed through his mind, and Li Chengyun sneered inwardly.
At the same time, a sense of doubt arose in his heart regarding Jiang Shuwan.
Only he and Jiang Shuwan knew that Jiang Shuwan disliked watching operas. He would occasionally take Jiang Shuwan to watch operas. If Jiang Shuwan really disliked him, she could tell the Crown Princess about it, and then the Crown Prince would definitely become suspicious of him.
Jiang Shuwan never said anything.
she.
You don't hate me!
...
Upon arriving at the building housing the Donglai Street management office, Li Chengyun headed towards Jiang Shuwan's office. Song Huaizhang was also in the office. Upon seeing him, Song Huaizhang instinctively tried to greet him, but upon seeing the expression on his face, he froze.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like that? Wasn't that your cousin who just came in? But is there something wrong with him?"
Mei Xue, who was talking to Song Huaizhang, looked at him strangely. Song Huaizhang looked quite surprised, as if he had suddenly seen something incredible.
“Your Highness… no, my cousin, he’s very happy today.”
"Being happy is perfectly normal, what's so strange about it..."
Mei Xue looked at him speechlessly. She didn't know what was so strange about this. Besides, she had seen Li Chengyun a few times, and he always had a smile on his face. He was also good-looking. Although she didn't know why her young lady always avoided Li Chengyun.
Anyway, she quite liked seeing Li Chengyun.
It's beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Thinking of this, Meixue hurriedly rushed inside. She remembered that Jiang Shuwan had instructed her to notify her immediately if she saw Li Chengyun arrive.
"Miss……"
Meixue lifted her skirt and ran inside. As soon as she entered, she saw Jiang Shuwan come out of her office and grab Li Chengyun's hand, who was being led away by other managers.
"Want to go see a play?"
Li Chengyun: "..."
Meixue: "..."
As soon as she turned around, Mei Xue spread the word that Jiang Shuwan had taken Li Chengyun to see a play.
"Have you heard? It's like blood is falling from the sky! Miss actually took Chairman Song's cousin to see a play..."
"No way, doesn't Miss always avoid him?"
"Who knows? Anyway, I saw it with my own eyes, and Chairman Song's cousin also looked completely surprised and was totally stunned."
"Really? I don't believe it..."
The managers gathered around, discussing the matter. Just then, Jiang Shuwan grabbed Li Chengyun's wrist and walked out, causing an uproar throughout the office area.
"!!!!"
"My God, am I seeing things?"
What's going on?
Everyone stared in disbelief at what they had just witnessed, then turned to look at Song Huaizhang in unison.
Song Huaizhang shrugged, "I don't know either!"
Everyone: "..."
The opera house stands quietly amidst the bustling streets and alleys.
It was the same theater that Jiang Shuwan and Li Chengyun frequented. As soon as they saw them, the theater owner immediately ran up respectfully and then invited the two to a private room on the second floor.
This private room has been reserved by Li Chengyun for many years and is not available to other guests.
The private room was exquisitely and elegantly decorated. Qingxing pushed open the carved doors and windows facing the stage, and instantly the melodious singing from the stage and the cheers from the audience flowed in.
Smoke curled up inside the room as a maidservant brewed tea.
As soon as Jiang Shuwan entered the private room, she immediately lay down on the soft couch, as if she had no bones.
She casually rested one hand on the edge of the couch, while deftly picking up a melon seed with the other.
The melon seeds were plump and had a sweet aroma. They made a crisp sound when they touched her teeth. She put the kernels into her mouth and chewed them slowly and carefully, her satisfied expression as if she were savoring the most delicious delicacy in the world.
Li Chengyun: "..."
Li Chengyun was stunned; he had never seen Jiang Shuwan like this before.
Jiang Shuwan ignored him. The girl lay comfortably on the couch, her long, black hair cascading down her shoulders like a waterfall, with a few strands swaying gently with her movements.
She seemed to be addicted to eating sunflower seeds, constantly changing her posture, sometimes stretching her legs out, sometimes curling them up slightly, looking incredibly content.
More and more sunflower seed shells were scattered on the ground, but she didn't care at all, letting them fall at her feet.
Li Chengyun: "..."
Li Chengyun frowned slightly. When he saw the melon seed shells scattered all over the ground, his brows furrowed instantly. The maidservant serving him saw this and hurriedly went to clean them up, but was stopped by Qingxing as soon as she took a step forward.
"You don't need to serve me here, you can go now," Qingxing said.
The maidservant was taken aback. She first looked at Jiang Shuwan, then at Li Chengyun beside her. Seeing that Li Chengyun didn't speak and Jiang Shuwan insisted, the maidservant could only step aside and stand there.
Inside the room, the sound of Jiang Shuwan cracking sunflower seeds continued to echo.
Li Chengyun initially tried to endure it, but the more he endured, the more uncomfortable he became, and finally, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
He has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, and the mess on the floor made him feel uncomfortable.
Li Chengyun stared intently at the sunflower seed shells, as if they were the most detestable things in the world.
The maid standing to the side secretly groaned inwardly. She knew that her mistress was a germaphobe and would definitely be very upset to see this scene.
The maid looked at Li Chengyun with concern, fearing that he would get angry.
She wanted to tidy up, but seeing Jiang Shuwan's relaxed and comfortable appearance, she didn't dare to go forward rashly.
"What kind of divine battle is this? I'm just a little girl..."
Will I be able to see the sun rise tomorrow? *sobs* (ㄒoㄒ)/~~
