Chapter 342: Uncertain Minds
After listening to Bai Yu's words, the fifth prince showed a little surprise, but he was not overly surprised, he quickly accepted it, and smiled lightly at Shangguan Yao.
"I have heard that my father is a business wizard, and naturally my daughter is not bad, if you are born as a man, I am afraid that you can do something good, but since you are reincarnated as a daughter, you have God's intentions, so you don't always belittle yourself." The fifth prince saw that Shangguan Yao always lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, so he lowered his eyes and smiled again, and said.
Naturally, he would never have thought that the reason why the woman in front of him didn't dare to look up at him was not because he looked down on his own value, but because he was so excited.
If the excitement of a long time ago was just youth and ignorance, then at this moment, she knows very well that she is really moved now. Moreover, there is also a very sad fact, that is, the person in front of him still knows nothing.
This is probably the so-called far away in the sky, close in front of you, but even if you desperately reach out and want to hold on, in the end, you can only be told that you have pounced.
"Your Highness's heart has been received, and I wish Your Highness all the peace." In front of him, she still didn't dare to call herself Shangguan Yao.
Bai Yu, who had been seeing this play from beginning to end, just shook her head there, looked at the fifth prince who had already gone away, and then looked at Shangguan Yao next to her with a lost face, but felt sorry for her.
She was afraid that she also felt that this was an unintentional play by the concubine and her lover, so she couldn't even send out the kaleidoscope hidden in her sleeve.
"Your Highness, Xiao Cui said that there was something I wanted to give to Your Highness, and I don't know if Your Highness likes it, but I was careful to express my gratitude for being saved by His Highness at that time." Bai Yu thought about it again and again, so he snatched the kaleidoscope in Shangguan Yao's sleeve with lightning speed, ran to the front of the fifth prince in three or two steps, held the kaleidoscope high, and said breathlessly.
Shangguan Yao didn't have time to catch Bai Yu, who ran away quickly, so she could only watch her run out with a kaleidoscope and give it to the fifth prince in her name. At that time, I only felt a violent panic in my heart, and I didn't dare to look up at the expression of the fifth prince, but I was secretly sweating there, so nervous that my palms were completely wet.
Looking at the kaleidoscope in front of him, the fifth prince thoughtfully glanced at Shangguan Yao, who had been keeping his head down behind him, and then at Bai Yu in front of him, for a long time, he just lowered his eyes and smiled, and then reached out to take it.
At that time, many people present let out a lot of sighs.
In this world, who doesn't know that the fifth prince is an extremely unfeminine person, let alone a woman who takes the initiative to approach him, even if it is a gift from a woman, he refuses it all.
I don't know why it's so abnormal today, not only did I talk to the woman a few words, but I also received a gift from the woman, and the two of them still looked like old friends, which quickly attracted a lot of speculation in the crowd.
"Who the hell is that girl? Why do you feel that the five princes are the only ones who are special to her, and they still smile at him! A sentence of discussion unfortunately, it directly crashed into Bai Yu's ears next to him, Bai Yu lowered his head and just smiled to himself.
It seems that in the eyes of others, the five princes are really special to Shangguan Yao, after all, these five princes are obsessed with studying astrology and future equipment skills all day long, where do they have the mind to be close to women? This happened to be a different woman, and it was easy to get close to him, which would naturally attract speculation.
"What a girl, I heard her call herself a slave just now, maybe she was just a slave she took in before." Another sour word came from the crowd, and when Bai Yu heard it, he also inadvertently clenched his fists.
What slaves? It's really funny, you people are really the same as modern keyboard warriors, you don't know anything and speculate, anyway, none of them are reliable, all day long just typing on the keyboard and gossiping, it's really idle fart.
"Xiaocui, thank you." At this moment, the fifth prince directly raised his tone slightly, raised the microphone above his head, waved it towards Shangguan Yao's position, and said with a smile.
At this moment, not only Bai Yu, but everyone present was stunned, and even the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, who were walking in front, also stopped.
The Eighth Prince was obviously sincerely dissatisfied with the crowd's gaze and attention not being on him, but he still managed to maintain the appearance of an approachable and gentle gentleman.
"Fifth brother, let's go." Seeing that the fifth prince had no intention of leaving for a long time, the eighth prince was impatient, so he shouted directly. At this moment, the five princes seemed to suddenly come back to their senses, put the kaleidoscope in their sleeves, and strode towards them.
Bai Yu just stood quietly in place, watching a few people walk into the men's seat, just now, she noticed the action of the fifth prince collecting the kaleidoscope, it was not ordinary caution. Could it be that she guessed wrong? Actually, it's not that the concubine is ruthless?
However, although Xiaocui is now the daughter of a legitimate family, if she wants to marry the fifth prince, she will definitely think that she is Gao Pan, because the Shangguan family is just an ordinary merchant, and in terms of financial resources, it is naturally inferior to the people in the capital.
Moreover, the fifth prince only got along with her in the relationship of master and servant before, how could he suddenly change his attitude now? Could it be that she missed something, or is there something Xiaocui that she didn't tell her? Bai Yu thought about it and didn't have an answer, so he just walked back to his seat thoughtfully and sat down beside Shangguan Yao.
"Xiaoyu, that, thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to wait for him to say that 'thank you' to me, I think, I will remember that sentence for the rest of my life, until the day I die of old age, I will still remember it." Shangguan Yao was a little excited, grabbed Bai Yu's hand, and said in a trembling voice.
Just now, she was already in a state of complete weakness, and when she knelt there, she suddenly seemed to have returned to the days when she was still working in the Five Princes' Mansion, and she clearly recognized the huge difference in class between the two people, and her heart was completely bottomless. Naturally, he won't be as confident as he was when he bragged to Bai Yu.
"You want to thank me, but I don't think the fifth prince is completely uninteresting to you, if you try to get closer, I'm afraid there will really be a chance, it's up to you whether you want it or not." Bai Yu carefully analyzed it and finally came to this conclusion.
Yes, no man would have such an intriguing expression on a woman whom he was completely uninteresting, and he had never been a man who was only fond of cold instruments and astrology, as rumored to be, but a living and warm person.
"What? Are you serious? Little Elm? No, Your Highness him, Your Highness, how could he be to me, I'm just a mediocre person. ”
