Chapter Twenty-Four: I Understand, I Understand
Xia Yingjiu walked to the table and picked up the envelope, a thin slice, unsigned on the front. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She first shone into the light, and the letter paper was faintly visible.
She thought for a moment, then opened the envelope.
Ning Ziyue nervously stopped her: "Miss, don't!" What if there is poison in this envelope! ”
Xia Yingjiu twitched the corners of his mouth, "An envelope is an envelope, where does the poison come from." ”
"In case that gangster has any other thoughts, hiding the drug or something in the letterhead, you just need to open it, Miss! I was instantly stunned! The more Ning Ziyue said, the more reasonable she felt, otherwise it was to send a letter at such a great expense? Why can't you send a letter openly, you have to be so sneaky!
Xia Yingjiu probed her head with his free hand, well, the temperature was normal: "Ziyue, read less of the books in the tavern." ”
"Really, Miss." Ning Ziyue felt very aggrieved.
"This is the imperial city, and the guards who defend the city are the guards in the palace, and now it is the birthday of the eighth princess, what kind of bad people have bad brains to do this kind of thing at such a time." Xia Yingjiu shook his head, ignored her, and opened the envelope directly.
Among them, there was only a folded piece of letterhead, which Xia Yingjiu slowly unfolded.
There is only the word "Shen Yan" on the paper, and there is no payment.
Xia Yingjiu frowned, put the letter paper close to her nose and smelled it, in addition to the unique smell of pen and ink, there was a faint trace of a unique cold aroma, she inexplicably felt a little familiar, as if she had smelled it somewhere, but the smell was very faint, and she couldn't remember it clearly.
Ning Ziyue, who was on the side, also poked her head over at this moment and took a look: "Shen Yan? What does that mean? ”
Xia Yingjiu shook his head, except for the occasional visit to the imperial city with his father a few times in the past, he didn't stay long, and naturally he didn't know anyone.
But what is certain is that the other party must know her, and not only that, but she must even know why she came.
Otherwise, they would not have said such a thing as "prudent words".
But who is this man? And why do you need to make such a reminder?
This made Xia Yingjiu suddenly feel that this banquet seemed to be much more complicated than she imagined.
"Miss, have you ever seen any eighth princess?" Ning Ziyue asked.
Xia Yingjiu thought for a while: "A few years ago, it was also the princess's birthday, and my grandfather took me into the palace together, but I have only seen it from afar, and the eighth princess should be as old as me, and she is the most favored daughter of the saint." ”
"I haven't seen you in a long time, have you? I heard others say that the eighth princess seems to be very fond of the second son of the Li family. Ning Ziyue touched her chin thoughtfully.
As soon as she said this, Xia Yingjiu remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, but it had always been a rumor, and there had never been any definite news.
With Xia Yingjiu's previous temperament, even if she knew, she never cared, but now it is different, she wants to get as far away from that neuropathy as possible!
If the eighth princess really fell in love with Li Nanyuan, on her birthday? Do you want to marry that neuropath? Just thinking about it, Xia Yingjiu felt a chill on his body!
Could it be that Li Nanyuan thought of this method? But whether I agree or not, I'm afraid it won't end well.
If she agreed, she would not be willing to do it, if the eighth princess knew about it, she would inevitably be unhappy, she was unhappy, and she knew with her toes that Xia Yingjiu would not have a good life.
But if she doesn't agree, I'm afraid the eighth princess will still mind very much, then she still hasn't had a good life!
Xia Yingjiu suddenly felt that it was so difficult to live well!
She only felt physically and mentally exhausted, so she simply threw the letter aside, just wanted to sleep well, and didn't think about anything.
There was nothing to say all night, but Xia Yingjiu didn't sleep well, thinking about what would happen at the banquet, and at the same time worrying about whether the messenger would come again at night, he opened his eyes several times and looked inexplicably in the direction of the window.
It was the middle of the night, still wondering who the messenger was.
I finally fell asleep, and it was almost dawn.
Originally, I wanted to sleep more, but I was woken up by Ning Ziyue in the morning.
If it weren't for the fact that she was really tired last night, where could Ning Ziyue wait until today, she would have been holding back enough energy to have a good time, no, she would have come to shout early in the morning.
Xia Yingjiu yawned, looked at her with teary eyes, and begged: "I'm so sleepy, you can go play by yourself." ”
"How can that work! How could I leave the poor lady sleeping alone in the room and play by myself! Ning Ziyue shook her head firmly.
"I understand, I understand." Xia Yingjiu nodded, touched under the pillow, pulled out a purse and threw it to her, "Na, the silver is for you, go play, don't bother me." ”
Ning Ziyue's eyes widened in disbelief: "Miss, am I this kind of person in your eyes?" ”
Xia Yingjiu thought seriously for a moment, and actually nodded: "Almost, who said that you want to hug your thighs and come here that day?" ”
"Miss, you've changed..."Ning Ziyue pursed her mouth, "In order to let Miss change her impression of me, I can't leave Miss to go out to play alone." ”
As he spoke, he took the purse in Xia Yingjiu's hand and said, "I'll fetch water for Miss to wash." ”
Xia Yingjiu looked at Ning Ziyue's back with a blank face, since this is the case, then at least return the silver to me... Yes...
In the end, Xia Yingjiu still couldn't resist Ning Ziyue, so he was dragged out.
The eighth princess's congratulatory gift Xiahou Jin had already been prepared, so naturally she didn't have to worry about it, so the two of them just wandered around the city with the mentality of playing.
Xia Yingjiu was surprised by the snacks stuffed by Ning Ziyue from time to time, and after lifting it for a long time, she also followed her example, and ate while walking, she was a person who didn't care about etiquette, and after shopping like this for a long time, her mood was much better.
Anyway, no matter how you think about it, things will always come, things will happen, and what should happen will happen, and you still don't know what you should not know.
After thinking about it, he completely enjoyed the fun of shopping with Ning Ziyue and the others.
After shopping for a while, the two came to a cloth shop, Xia Yingjiu thought that he hadn't made clothes for a long time, there were only grandfather and father at home, for this aspect, men always had to be sluggish, so he thought that it would be better to make a few clothes while he was in the imperial city.
took Ning Ziyue and walked in.
As soon as I entered the door, I raised my eyes and saw the figure in front of me, it was Si Yun'er who arrived in the imperial city and divided the way.
It's just that the other party turned his back to each other and didn't see the two.
Xia Yingjiu thought about it, and then wanted to quit, not because he was afraid of anything, but he felt that it was useless to say more.
But in the end, it was still too late, Si Yun'er happened to turn her head and saw the two of them.
"Sister Jiu'er." Si Yun'er said softly.
Xia Yingjiu had to stop.
