Although Meng Qingrou was not well received in the palace, she still learned all the proper etiquette for princesses.
Etiquette is something that He Yunxiao usually finds extremely tedious and troublesome to practice, to the point that he wishes he could overthrow this backward and corrupt feudal dynasty on the spot.
However, if the role were played by the adorable, bright-eyed, classically beautiful Nan Zhu, it would be a feast for the eyes no matter how you look at it. Long live traditional culture!
When Meng Qingrou ate, she always kept her legs neatly together, her back straight, and never lowered her head. Instead, she would bring the food to her mouth with her slender hands. Each time, she would only open her small mouth slightly, take a small bite of the pastry, then close her lips tightly, chew silently, and then swallow silently. She would repeat this process until the food was finished.
Over there, Chu Chu and He Yunxiao had a little argument, but Meng Qingrou couldn't speak because she hadn't finished eating.
Quickly swallowing the pastry in her mouth, Meng Qingrou whispered, "He Yunxiao, what's wrong with Chuchu?"
Chu Chu is jealous of you.
He Yunxiao wanted to say that, but he didn't dare.
We need to find a way to get Chu Chu to accept Nan Zhu... Otherwise, it's not a good thing for her to keep being jealous and throwing tantrums every day...
The one who tied the knot must untie it. Since Chu Chu is jealous of Nan Zhu, let Nan Zhu deal with her.
"Rou'er," He Yunxiao called out to his wife, Nanzhu.
Meng Qingrou was eating pastries and couldn't speak, so she blinked.
Does Rou'er like Chu Chu?
Meng Qingrou clearly hesitated.
She did like Chu Chu, but not that much. At least, in her heart, Chu Chu couldn't compare to her sister or He Yunxiao. She was also far inferior to Xing'er.
He Yunxiao didn't force Nanzhu's wife to say what she didn't want to say. Since he had said he would "never lie to her again," he should set an example and not encourage her to lie. Besides, He Yunxiao didn't want to deceive Chuchu unless absolutely necessary.
Even if Chu Chu isn't very bright, she wouldn't realize she'd been tricked...
He Yunxiao waited silently for Nan Zhu's wife to finish the pastries in her hand, then shouted loudly, "Damn it! Stop the car! Young master needs to relieve himself!"
Nobody paid any attention.
He Yunxiao lifted the car curtain, and the sound of whistling wind came from outside, along with the faint sounds of "Wuhu~", "Giddy up", and "Papapapa".
Focusing his energy in his dantian, He Yunxiao shouted, "Stop the car!"
Although Ma Dekuai is sometimes unreliable, his driving skills are truly exceptional.
The speeding carriage came to a stop with perfect smoothness, without any discomfort whatsoever.
He Yunxiao wanted to ask Nanzhu to come downstairs for a chat, but he didn't say anything and silently got out of the car first. He was joking; what if he asked Nanzhu to come down for a private chat in front of Chu Chu, and Chu Chu got upset and smashed the car? He had to "go with the flow" and pretend it was a reasonable request.
He Yunxiao got out of the car first, asked Ma De for a water bottle, and then said, "Old Ma, you said there are pretty wildflowers by the roadside, call Zhang Lingrou down to find me."
"Okay." Ma De quickly went to do the work.
He Yunxiao then walked a little further away to wait.
Five minutes later, Ma De quickly reported, looking dejected, "Young Master, Miss Zhang won't listen to me. She said she won't go anywhere until He Yunxiao comes back."
no way.
Nan Zhu ignored Ma Dekuai's advice.
The little rabbit obediently didn't open the door, which was a good thing, but it was quite troublesome in this situation.
He Yunxiao had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. He walked to the side of the carriage, cleared his throat, and said, "Rou'er, there are wildflowers by the roadside. Would you like to get off and take a look?"
He Yunxiao saw that Nan Zhu's wife quietly lifted the car window curtain, peeked out, and after confirming that it was him, she happily got out of the car and ran over.
Meng Qingrou ran to He Yunxiao's side, naturally placing her small hand in his, then staring longingly at the ground, "He Yunxiao, where are the flowers?"
He Yunxiao pointed to an inconspicuous little flower on the ground and said, "Look."
Meng Qingrou: ...
Before Meng Qingrou could even squat down to look, a muffled thud came from the carriage not far away, followed by a circular fluctuation of internal energy spreading outward from the carriage.
He Yunxiao quickly erected an internal energy barrier to protect himself and Nanzhu. As for the little flower, it was withered and pitiful.
He Yunxiao: ...
Meng Qingrou exclaimed, "What a strong wind!"
"It smells so strongly of vinegar..." He Yunxiao added quietly.
With Chu Chu's hearing, she could hear herself and Nan Zhu talking from this distance. It seems we need to go even further.
"Rou'er, come here." He Yunxiao pulled his wife, Nanzhu, a little further away, then opened the kettle he had gotten from Ma Dekuai and poured out a stream of water.
Using the sound of water hitting the ground as a starting point, He Yunxiao whispered, "Rou'er, how old are you?"
Meng Qingrou thought for a moment and said happily, "I'll be eighteen next spring."
He Yunxiao's eyes lit up. "It's good to be an adult! It's wonderful! Being an adult means you won't have to face punishment."
Ahem. Let's get down to business first.
"Rou'er is seventeen, isn't she?"
"Um."
He Yunxiao pointed to the carriage in the distance and said mysteriously, "Chuchu is sixteen years old and is Rou'er's younger sister."
It's not that He Yunxiao had to go to such lengths to talk to Nanzhu. Xiaoxiao only dared to say things like "Chuchu is my younger sister" in secret, let alone He Yunxiao himself.
Meng Qingrou nodded. "Nanzhu is the older sister, she has to protect her younger sister."
“Yes, yes, but the main thing is to take care of her. When it matters, you still need Chu Chu to protect you.” He Yunxiao then added, “Rou’er, Chu Chu doesn’t like to talk and is rather shy. You should take good care of her along the way. For example, share your snacks and treats with her.”
“Okay.” Meng Qingrou agreed without hesitation.
