"Brother Jinghua!"
A clear, melodious female voice, like a nightingale singing in a valley, rang out along with the creaking sound of the private room door being opened from the outside.
This made Sisi, who was still diligently eating a big pig's trotter, successfully raise her little head and blink her grape-like, watery eyes to look over.
A graceful figure in pale yellow, accompanied by the delicate fragrance of a young woman's rouge, rushed towards Nanrong Jinghua.
However, he stopped three steps away from Nan Rong Jinghua.
The girl had blossomed into a graceful young woman, appearing to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a beautiful oval face, but wore makeup that was inappropriate for her age.
At this moment, her pair of bright, watery eyes secretly gazed at Nan Rong Jinghua, a young woman experiencing the first stirrings of love, both eager and shy.
She was the cousin Ah Xun mentioned, a talented young lady from a prominent family in Kyoto, Ye Zijin.
"Ha...Achoo!"
A certain Sisi sneezed at a very inopportune moment, instantly shattering the rosy atmosphere.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Nan Rong Jinghua's brows, which had been slightly furrowed as the girl approached, instantly disappeared. His gaze fell on Helian Si, and a hint of worry appeared on his face.
"Huh? It's alright, it's alright, Master, don't worry." Helian Si quickly shook his little head and waved his short hands.
I felt a little embarrassed for breaking the atmosphere that the young lady had created.
His grape-like eyes fell on the large pig's trotter in front of him, which he hadn't yet had a chance to eat.
On Sisi's rosy little face, her little mouth twitched slightly. Oh, what a pity...
"Brother Jinghua, who is she? How can she be so rude?"
Ye Zijing frowned, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she took a small step back, covering her face with her handkerchief. He Liansi looked at her with obvious disdain.
"Miss, she is the little princess in the palace."
Ah Xun had been delighted and his eyes lit up when he saw Ye Zijing, and now he stepped forward to answer her questions in a flattering manner.
"The little princess...? Ah! I remember now, it's the little princess in the palace whose mother died, right? No wonder..."
Ye Zijing's beautiful oval face showed a look of sudden realization, and her bright, watery eyes looked at Helian Si with disgust.
Good heavens, she can actually eat such fatty and greasy food as pig's trotters. She would never eat such lowly and coarse food.
Perhaps they never ate anything of the finest quality while in the palace?
The Ye family is also a scholarly family. Although they cannot compare with the Nanrong family, which has produced imperial tutors generation after generation, they have gained some fame in the capital in recent years due to their close relationship with the Wen family of Nanrong.
Ye Zijing was pampered at home, and although she was quite talented, she also developed a lot of arrogance.
Nan Rongjinghua's gaze, hidden beneath her long silk robes, suddenly turned icy cold. When she looked at Ye Zijin, the deity's face was chillingly cold.
"Apologize." The voice, usually as gentle as a solitary orchid in a secluded valley, was unusually sharp at this moment, as if it were an icy piercing.
"Brother Jinghua, what...what did you say?"
Ye Zijing's watery eyes widened slightly as she looked at Nan Rongjinghua's beautiful oval face, her expression full of disbelief. For a moment, she wondered if she had misheard.
Brother Jinghua actually made her apologize to this lowly princess? And in such a cold tone! Why should she? She didn't say anything wrong!
"Apologize." Nan Rongjinghua's face was extremely unpleasant, her eyebrows and eyes covered with a layer of icy frost, piercing to the bone.
Ye Zijing, who was used to being pampered and adored by those around her, couldn't bear this humiliation.
On her beautiful oval face, her bright, watery eyes were already brimming with tears, yet she bit her lip, refusing to give in.
"I don't!"
