Chapter 112: Breakfast
Does Qi Shaoyou actually like me?
Shen Mingjiao felt that it was really too much for a princess of a country to think like this!
But she couldn't help but care; she thought that all she had to do was marry Qi Shaoyou.
However, Shen Mingjiao found herself becoming increasingly greedy.
She not only wants to marry him now, but also wants Qi Shaoyou to be completely devoted to her and unable to accept anyone else.
"Princess, the Prime Minister's daughter has sent a visiting card." The maid knew that the princess would not be happy to hear this.
However, even though she lost the rock-paper-scissors game, she couldn't refuse the task.
"I won't see her!" Shen Mingjiao retorted angrily. How could she not know what the Prime Minister's daughter meant?
Um?
Last time she came to the princess's residence, she thought he was really coming to play with her. But what happened? They chatted about this and that, and somehow managed to sneak in until Qi Shaoyou returned from court!
Shen Mingjiao looked at the pots of peonies in front of her, which were blooming beautifully, and became furious.
"Take all of these away for me!"
She felt that being a princess was extremely boring!
"Yes, Princess." The servants, seeing the signs of an impending storm, secretly groaned.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the sound coming from inside.
"Who has displeased our princess this time?"
"Tell me immediately, I will make that person pay!"
Qi Shaoyou's voice came from behind Shen Mingjiao, and Shen Mingjiao, who was a little unhappy just now, blushed immediately when she heard this voice.
She was both happy and resentful looking at the handsome face in front of her.
"Do you really have to go out and attract attention?"
Shen Mingjiao gently patted Qi Shaoyou, muttering something under her breath.
"It's not like I can't afford to support you. You get so many invitations every time you go out!" Shen Ming said coquettishly, but there wasn't much real resentment in her tone.
Qi Shaoyou did not answer Shen Mingjiao's question about whether she would leave or not, but suddenly took out a hairpin from behind his back.
This hairpin is different from the ones Shen Mingjiao has worn before; it's not made of gold or jade, and it's not even silver.
But Shen Mingjiao was happy just to see the hairpin in Qi Shaoyou's hand.
"It's a gift for me." Shen Mingjiao's lips curled up, her words and gestures revealing her delight.
Qi Shaoyou knew that if he didn't say anything, Shen Mingjiao wouldn't say anything about liking him.
She always says one thing but means another, and most of the time she'll say something that's actually a complaint.
“I carved this hairpin myself, but it is neither gold nor jade, and I’m afraid it is not worthy of the princess’s precious body.”
Qi Shaoyou looked dejected and even gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Shen Mingjiao originally felt that since Qi Shaoyou had never indicated whether he liked her or not, she couldn't show that she liked him too much.
But when she actually saw Qi Shaoyou looking so forlorn, she couldn't bear it anymore.
It's not really Qi Shaoyou's fault that he attracted so many women, is it? Besides, Qi Shaoyou is good enough to be worthy of her, the princess.
Those women simply have good taste.
After thinking it over carefully, Shen Mingjiao quickly calmed herself down.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You're supposed to be educated, how come you don't know that good intentions are worth a fortune?"
"Blockhead!"
Shen Mingjiao walked up to Qi Shaoyou and held out her hand. Her fair hands were still painted with nail polish, and her soft palms facing upwards were especially adorable.
"Give it to me now!" Shen Mingjiao's tone became fierce as she saw that Qi Shaoyou, this blockhead, still wouldn't hand over the hairpin even though she had already reached out her hand.
Qi Shaoyou's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she lowered her voice.
"Is it enough to just give it to the princess? Shouldn't the princess wear it in her hair?"
Qi Shaoyou's gaze was soft, as if he were looking at his favorite book. Shen Mingjiao had only ever seen him look like that when he was reading.
Moreover, this kind of gaze is often reserved for those who are looking at rare and ancient books.
In any case, her status in Qi Shaoyou's heart is now higher than those tattered books.
Shen Mingjiao couldn't help but smile, but she tried to suppress the upturned corners of her mouth and then moved closer to Qi Shaoyou.
The distance between them closed a little, and Shen Mingjiao felt her heart pounding wildly. What if Qi Shaoyou heard them?
The sound of her heartbeat didn't reveal any secret, but Qi Shaoyou only needed to lower his head slightly to see the blush on Shen Mingjiao's face. If he looked down just a little further, he could see Shen Mingjiao secretly clutching the hem of his shirt.
This was also the first time Shen Mingjiao had ever liked someone. She only realized what it felt like to like someone after she fell for Qi Shaoyou.
Sometimes, Shen Mingjiao felt that something was really wrong with her. How could she be so easily swayed by someone?
But the next second, when she saw Qi Shaoyou's face, all her complaints from the previous second vanished.
The sun slowly climbed up, and the morning sunlight was warm, though slightly cooler than the afternoon sun.
Shen Mingjiao gradually woke up from her dream; she had slept very soundly. As soon as she opened her blurry eyes, she saw a face that reassured her.
"How can someone be so good-looking?" Shen Mingjiao secretly took her hand and gently touched Qi Shaoyou's eyebrows.
She thought she had been gentle enough that Sister Shaoyou would never wake up.
When Shen Mingjiao woke up, Qi Shaoyou had already woken up. She felt the movements of the person in her arms and tightened her grip on her waist when he asked a question.
As Shen Mingjiao was held tightly in someone's arms, she felt a delicate touch and realized that she had been sleeping naked all night.
As soon as the two pressed close together, Shen Mingjiao's face began to flush.
Qi Shaoyou opened his eyes a crack and secretly watched the little princess, who seemed at a loss.
"Good morning." Her words caused Shen Mingjiao, whose face was already flushed, to reflexively lean back.
This made it convenient for Qi Shaoyou to have breakfast.
