The prince couldn't help but get annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's okay, I understand." Yu Rou winked at him, "I'll pay attention next time. If you don't like it, I'll ignore the others, okay?"
Yu Rou's voice was soft and seductive, like a pair of gentle little hands wrapping around the prince's heart, caressing it softly and giving it great pleasure.
The prince shook her hand off in shame and anger, "Woman, don't think I will believe you again."
"Prince, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense all the time?" Yu Rou reached out and touched his head.
"No."
"Should we ask the imperial physician to come and check you out?" Yu Rou looked at him worriedly. "I feel like something's not right with you. Maybe you've been worrying too much lately and have hallucinations in your head."
If Yu Rou's expression hadn't been so worried, the prince would have almost been sure that she was mocking him.
However, he must never fall into her gentle trap again.
A woman like her is scheming and greedy for power. She flatters him just to get the status of Crown Princess from him. Once he loses power, she will hide away faster than anyone else.
"You go."
Yu Rou pursed her lips and flinched at his roar, but still said, "Prince, don't be so stubborn. I see that you don't look well. It would be better to ask the imperial physician to take your pulse."
The prince's chest rose and fell faster, and his expression became uglier. "Shut up."
Yu Rou looked hurt, bit her lips and stopped talking.
Seeing her like this, the prince felt a faint sense of regret in his heart. He shook his head, trying to shake off those thoughts of sympathy for her, and grabbed her, taking her out the same way he brought her here.
…
At this time, the noble ladies had discovered that Yu Rou was missing. Yu Ting was worried about Yu Rou, so she offered to go find her. Yu Si was sure to follow, but unexpectedly, Yan Wanyun also said that she wanted to go together. Everyone said that she was kind-hearted. As a result, the noble ladies all went back and looked for Yu Rou along the way.
Just when everyone reached the intersection where Yu Rou had parted ways with them, they saw Yu Rou and the prince walking out together.
The prince looked very bad, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was very angry. Yu Rou was the only one beside him, and her face and eyes were red.
Everyone immediately started to imagine that Yu Rou had offended the prince and was scolded by him.
When the prince saw the others, he said nothing, just dropped Yu Rou's hand and left.
Everyone was even more convinced that Yu Rou had angered the prince.
Yu Ting trotted over and asked Yu Rou, "Sister Rou, what's wrong? Why does the prince look so angry?"
Seeing the others looking at her inquiringly, Yu Rou pretended to be sad and said, "Alas, I said something wrong and made the prince unhappy."
"How could this happen?" Yu Ting was shocked.
"I want to go back."
Yu Rou looked unwilling to say more, so Yu Ting had no choice but to swallow a bunch of questions.
"Okay, let's go back first. It's getting late..." Yu Ting gritted her teeth. Seeing that everyone was looking at them, she knew that now was not the time to talk. She might as well leave the palace quickly and ask Yu Rou what had happened. She was so curious.
…
After the palace banquet, the news that Yu Rou had offended the prince and was disliked by him somehow spread throughout the circles of the aristocratic and royal families in the capital. Even the young master of the Yu family got the news and came back to ask what was going on.
All of a sudden, everyone in the Yu Mansion came to ask her what had happened.
Yu Rou just said that nothing happened, and even when it came to Wang Shi, she was vague and didn't explain clearly.
A few days later, Prince Guangcheng suddenly sent someone to deliver another painting, as well as a lot of rouge, powder, silk and satin, and invited her to go boating on the lake together the next day.
Yu Rou held the letter inviting her to go boating and looked at the room full of gifts, feeling a little amused and helpless.
She knew the reputation of the Prince of Guangcheng, and she had no intention of agreeing to it. However, Wang soon got the news and came to her in a hurry.
Yu Rou was instructing the maids to return all the gifts and leave only the painting when she heard a maid report that the lady had arrived.
Yu Rou hurried out to greet her, and just happened to meet Wang who was in a hurry.
"Jiaojiao'er."
"Mom, why are you here?"
"I heard that Prince Guangcheng sent you something?" Just as Wang Shi finished her words, she saw a room full of things. Her mouth opened wide and she said in surprise, "Are these all sent by Prince Guangcheng?"
"Yeah." Yu Rou nodded.
"This is too exaggerated." Wang's expression was a little subtle.
"Mom, please sit down first. Let's talk later."
Wang shook her head, grabbed her hand, and advised earnestly, "Jiao Jiao'er, please don't be deceived by the prince. He is not a good man."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I haven't even spoken a few words to the prince." Yu Rou said with a smile.
"Then why did he give you so many things?" Wang asked in surprise.
"My daughter doesn't know either. Maybe he just thought of it on a whim." Yu Rou said casually.
"There were rumors before that the prince wanted to cancel the engagement with you, but mother didn't believe it. Now the prince's behavior, could it be that he really got some news from the emperor?" Wang said with a worried look on her face.
The author has something to say: Prince: If you want me to break off the engagement, why don’t you find someone else? Don’t even think about it.
