After Jiang Shi's face completely healed, he naturally went to the Imperial College to study.
After Yuwen Xiao knew that he had finally left the house, he specially intercepted him on his way back home from the Imperial College in the afternoon.
Jiang Shi's coachman looked at Yuwen Xiao who was blocking the way ahead, and suddenly thought of the fourth princess Gao Xianyue a few months ago.
Gao Xianyue is now imprisoned in the palace and never appears in front of Jiang Shi again.
Yuwen Xiao didn't seem to realize that as a Tianqi person, he wouldn't be welcomed by the Wanjin people. With a proper smile on his face, he asked politely, "Is Prince Jiang free today?"
Jiang Shi still did not show his face.
"I'm sorry, my fiancée is waiting for me to go back and be with her. I hope Second Prince Tianqi can understand." The young man's gentle voice was filled with helplessness and deep love for his fiancée.
"Prince Jiang and his fiancée truly have a deep bond. It's truly enviable." Yu Wenxiao wasn't annoyed by being rejected again, and continued to smile. "Then I won't bother Prince Jiang anymore. Let's make an appointment next time."
"Thank you very much."
This scene took place in a quiet alley, with only a few people able to see it.
But those who are attentive will see it and report it back.
Yun Xuan, who was "recuperating" in the palace, received the news. He pursed his lips and felt a stinging pain at the corners of his cracked mouth.
Yun Xuan's eyes were gloomy.
Cheng Su said unhappily, "Yuwen Xiao actually went to find Jiang Shi. It seems that Jiang Shi must have slandered me for putting a curse on Yuwen Xian."
Although he is moody, anyone who is slandered will definitely be unhappy.
Yun Xuan said, "It's not Jiang Shi, it's Yuwen Xiao."
"Why is it Yuwen Xiao? Why? Few people in the entire Wanjin Kingdom know that I'm here with you. How could Yuwen Xiao, a Tianqi native, know that there are Miao people in the Wanjin capital?"
"Yuwen Xiao is not as simple as you think. How could a man who can make a country's top martial arts scholar willingly follow him be as mediocre and incompetent as the rumors say? Yuwen Xiao is the second Jiang Shi."
"Alright," Cheng Su said sinisterly, "but I'm still very unhappy. They actually said that Yuwen Xian was poisoned by my Gu. I don't mind giving them a few bugs to prove this crime. Let's start with Yuwen Xiao. It just so happens that he wants to cooperate with Jiang Shi, so I can help you eliminate an enemy directly."
"Don't worry." Yun Xuan seemed to be thinking, "He may not be my enemy."
Cheng Su was a little impatient: "This won't work, and that won't work. Have you forgotten what you said to me before I agreed to let you come to the capital? If you hadn't said that you would give me the opportunity to develop new Gu worms, why would I come to the capital with you?"
He snorted coldly, "I was living alone and free, but you insisted on taking me away, promising to help me create a more powerful poison. But now, almost a year has passed, and you only gave me a few ordinary people to raise the poison. Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"
The half of the boy's face that was not covered by the mask had a gloomy look, which made people shudder.
He looked at Yun Xuan unhappily, as if he would not easily compromise unless he gave him a satisfactory answer.
Yunxuan's temple twitched.
Seeing Cheng Su's expression of being unable to contain himself, he had to step back.
"You can put a curse on someone first."
"who?"
Yun Xuan pursed her lips slightly, her eyes deep.
"Sixth Prince, Gao Yan."
…
Perhaps because he found that the only responses he received when he wrote to Jiang Shi were perfunctory and polite rejections, on the afternoon of the second day after Jiang Shi was able to go to the Imperial College to study, Yuwen Xiao personally came to the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion to ask for a meeting.
He even appeared when Jiang Shi got off the carriage and Yu Tanqi went out to pick up Jiang Shi.
"Prince Jiang."
Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi looked at Yuwen Xiao at the same time. Both of them were wearing green clothes and their movements were exactly the same, which made people smile.
Yuwen Xiao walked up to the two of them and praised them with a smile, "Prince Jiang and Miss Yu are indeed an engaged couple. Their expressions and movements are exactly the same. They are really a perfect match and have a tacit understanding."
Yu Tanqi lowered her head and pretended to be shy.
Jiang Shi curved his lips in thanks, "Thank you for the compliment, Second Prince Tianqi."
Yuwen Xiao said, "I've always wanted to make friends with Prince Jiang. I wonder if you're free to invite me into your mansion for a drink right now?"
They have come to my door to ask, and it seems impolite to refuse.
Moreover, Yuwen Xiao also praised Jiang Shi and Yu Tanqi for looking like a couple.
Jiang Shi's gentle and polite persona remained unchanged. He nodded gently and said, "It is Jiang Shi's honor to be appreciated by the Second Prince. Second Prince, please."
Yuwen Xiao finally got his wish and walked into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion openly.
Yu Tanqi was also very considerate and found an excuse to go back to Luqiyuan to give them space to talk alone.
"The lotus flowers in the pond in my yard are blooming. I want to pick a few flowers and lotus pods before dark, so I'm going back now."
Jiang Shi said gently, "The water in the pond is cold. Let the servants pick the lotus pods. Don't go in the water yourself."
Yu Tanqi shook his head gently: "No, it tastes better if you pick it yourself."
"Then I'll go with you."
"No need. You wait for the guests first. I'll pick some lotus pods and bring some over for you to eat."
"I'm not with you, I don't feel safe if you go into the water."
Yu Wenxiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Jiang Shi's gentle care for Yu Tanqi without paying any attention to anyone else. He didn't expect Jiang Shi to treat Yu Tanqi like this.
He originally thought that even if Jiang Shi really liked Yu Tanqi, he would at most be gentle and considerate to her. However, he never expected that Jiang Shi would not even let Yu Tanqi go into the water to pick lotus pods and wanted to accompany her personally.
He had never seen a man love his fiancée so much.
Yuwen Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and then he smiled and said, "In that case, why don't we go together and pick lotus seeds together, which would be quite fun."
So a group of people came to the pond where lotus flowers were blooming.
This is the big pond in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. It is three times larger than the small pond in Yu Tanqi's yard and looks like a lake.
It's summer again. Under the blue sky and white clouds, huge green lotus leaves in the water surround the blooming lotus flowers, and the delicate petals sway gracefully in the breeze.
The servants prepared two small boats, one for Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi, and one for Yu Wenxiao.
Jiang Shi tried to stop Yu Tanqi again: "Just sit down and tell me what you want to pick, and I'll pick it for you."
Yu Tanqi insisted, "No, I want to pick it myself."
Jiang Shi gently dissuaded him: "The boat is unstable. It would be bad if you accidentally fell off and got your clothes dirty."
"I'm not a child. How could I not be able to control my body and fall into the pond so easily?"
Yu Tanqi was moved by the bright and blooming lotus in the pond. "If you're worried that the boat is unstable, I can take my own boat."
"No." Jiang Shi was even more worried about her being alone, so he had no choice but to compromise, thinking that he just needed to keep an eye on her.
Yuwen Xiao was watching the two of them flirting and being affectionate, and he felt very jealous.
He suddenly felt that he shouldn't be standing here.
Seeing two people boarding the same boat, while he had to row alone, he inexplicably felt lonely.
