Chapter 110: It's better to be respectful than to obey
Xiao Se and others came to Ailianting, and several girls led by Cui Jingshi got up one after another.
"The courtiers have seen Princess Roujia."
Xiao Se didn't say a word, just looked at Cui Jingshi expressionlessly.
Cui Jingshi didn't know why, her scalp was numb from Xiao Se's direct gaze, and she couldn't help asking, "...... princess?"
It's just that she just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Xiao Se: "I heard that Miss Cui has a blue heart and a generous demeanor, and she is an example of a noble girl in Anyang, but how can she be so rude." β
The words "I don't know the number of etiquette" are very serious accusations for the nobles of the family who attach great importance to conduct.
Cui Jingshi's face was slightly stiff, and her brain was spinning rapidly, but she didn't think of where she was rude and annoyed the princess in front of her.
She wondered, "What does this mean, princess?" β
Xiao Se sneered lightly, as if he was extremely contemptuous, and then his face sank, and he said coldly: "Did this palace let you get up?" β
"Princess, angry!"
Xiao Se suddenly became angry, which caught everyone off guard, and the girls who had just greeted Cui Jingshi hurriedly bowed down again.
Cui Jingshi's face became ugly, she didn't expect Xiao Se to hold on to such details, obviously deliberately embarrassed.
However, although this is not a big deal, if it is really investigated, it is indeed her rudeness first.
Therefore, even if Cui Jingshi was unwilling, she could only suppress the resentment in her heart and bless her body.
Xiao Se walked around a few people unhurriedly, walked to the stool and sat down, and then said slowly: "Okay, get up." β
Everyone hurriedly thanked them in unison.
Cui Jingshi was ridiculed by Xiao Se, her face couldn't hold back, and her heart was not happy, so she said: "The courtiers are inconvenient to disturb the princess's lotus appreciation Yaxing, so they retreat first." β
Xiao Se raised his eyebrows: "What, Miss Cui doesn't want to see this palace?" β
Cui Jingshi hurriedly said: "The courtiers don't dare. β
Xiao Se said: "Since you don't dare, then stay and enjoy the lotus together, the province is said to be the palace that robbed your place." β
Xiao Se said, no longer paying attention to Cui Jingshi, and instead beckoned Yan Ran and the others: "Come and sit." β
There were not many seats in the pavilion, Xiao Se asked Yan Ran and the others to sit down, but let Cui Jingshi and the others stand, which made them look like maids, which made Cui Jingshi very depressed.
Who knows, the more depressing is still to come.
Xiao Se somehow, suddenly rose, and said: "Such a beautiful scenery, it is a pity not to recite it in poetry." I heard that Miss Cui is famous, so she made a poem with the theme of lotus, if she does it well, the palace will be rewarded. β
If this was said by a tall and elderly person, Cui Jingshi would gladly accept it.
But these words came from Xiao Se's mouth, obviously intentionally humiliating her, she choked up and couldn't go up or down, very uncomfortable.
But Xiao Se is a princess after all, Cui Jingshi didn't dare to be disobedient, so she could only respond.
Over there, Cui Jingshi is conceiving poetry; Here, Xiao Se was already impatient to wait.
She sent the attendant beside her: "Go and see, why hasn't Shen Yu arrived yet?" β
Shen Yu is the son of the Shen family, the colt that Xiao Se has just chosen.
The waiter answered, and as soon as he walked out of the pavilion, he turned back again: "Princess, the colt has arrived." β
Xiao Se looked at it when he heard this, but he didn't see Shen Yu, but saw Xiao Zun as the leader.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
The first to react was Cui Jingshi, she was very happy to see Xiao Zun, walked forward quickly, and bowed to Yingying.
Xiao Zun held a lotus flower in his hand, and made a gesture to help Cui Jingshi: "Miss Cui doesn't need to be polite. β
Yan Ran also greeted the other girls.
Xiao Zun's gaze swept around, and said loudly: "Girls don't have to be polite. β
Yan Ran looked behind Xiao Zun quietly, and saw that in addition to Shen Yu, there were also Wen Chengyan and Su Yu.
Shen Yu's face was as usual, but Wen Chengyan and Su Yu's faces were slightly dignified.
Wen Chengyan wanted to get rid of Wen Rong'an, but Xiao Zun wanted to keep Wen Rong'an, Su Yu took refuge in Xiao Zun, and he was friends with Wen Chengyan, the combination of these three was really strange.
Perhaps, Xiao Zun wanted Wen Rongan to be used by him, but he didn't want to offend Wen Chengyan, so he negotiated with him, and Su Yu played a role in connecting and making peace.
In his previous life, Xiao Zun had always wanted to win over the eldest princess of Minyang and Wen Chengyan, but the position of the mother and son was vague, but they seemed to be more biased towards the prince.
Come to think of it, this is also one of the reasons why Xiao Zun allowed Wen Rongan to suppress Minyang's mother and son without any favoritism after seizing the throne.
Yan Ran was thinking wildly, only to hear Xiao Se say: "This lotus flower was actually picked by the second prince himself?" The second prince is really interested! β
Xiao Zun lowered his eyes and looked at the lotus flower in his hand, stroked the lotus petal gently, and muttered to himself: "This lotus is so beautiful, so beautiful that people can't help but want to pick her down." β
As he spoke, he lifted his lips and smiled: "Such a beautiful flower naturally has to be matched with beauty." β
When Xiao Zun said this, his eyes fell on Yan Ran's body and looked at her unscrupulously.
Yan Ran raised her eyes, facing the smile of unknown meaning in Xiao Zun's eyes, and suddenly felt a chill on the soles of her feet.
Xiao Zun's smile was not warm, on the contrary, his smile had a deep meaning, which made Yan Ran feel as if he was haunted by poisonous snakes, cold, terrifying, and disgusting.
Zhen Yu saw that Yan Ran's face was a little ugly, thinking that she was uncomfortable, and held her hand worriedly, but found that her hand was as cold as ice, and almost exclaimed.
The county lord of Min'an suddenly said with a smile: "If you talk about beauty, how can there be a more beautiful person in this pavilion than Princess Roujia?" β
Xiao Se didn't feel ashamed at all, she stepped forward, blocked most of Yan Ran's body, unceremoniously took the lotus flower in Xiao Zun's hand, and said as a matter of course: "What the county lord of Min'an said is good, thank you for the lotus gift from the second prince, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the palace will accept it." β
The two sang and harmonized, put the so-called "beauty" in Xiao Zun's mouth on Xiao Se's body, and snatched his lotus flower, which made him slightly stunned.
But he quickly adjusted his expression, laughed, and said, "Rou Jia is really the most affectionate person. β
Xiao Se put away the already faint smile on his face, and said with a straight face: "Second prince, in terms of seniority, you should call me aunt." β
The implication is that Xiao Zun is not qualified to call her title casually, which is really rude.
If in normal times, according to the free and easy temperament, where would you care about those false courtesies.
But today, one or two of them hit her guns, and if she didn't suppress their arrogance, wouldn't she live up to this noble princess status in vain.
Xiao Zun was embarrassed by Xiao Se in public, his smile faded, but he still maintained his demeanor, and changed his words in a kind manner: "Yes, Aunt Roujia." β
Xiao Se saw that Xiao Zun looked like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and his heart was a little happier.
In a blink of an eye, she saw Cui Jingshi glancing at Xiao Zun from time to time, and snorted softly: "Miss Cui's poem has been written?" β
Cui Jingshi hurriedly retracted her gaze, turned to Xiao Se and replied, "Back to the princess, it's been written." β
With Cui Jing's talent for poetry, writing a poem about Yonglian is just a matter of hand-to-hand capture.
Therefore, when she finished reading the poem, Xiao Zun took the lead in applauding with great enthusiasm, and did not hesitate to praise it: "Miss Cui's poetry is not as good as this palace." β
Cui Jingshi was appreciated by Xiao Zun and was full of joy.
She glanced up at him, and immediately looked away, her face slightly red: "The second prince has an overreputation." β
Xiao Se took in the interaction between the two, turned his eyebrows slightly, and raised his voice: "Okay, Miss Cui's poems are very popular with this palace, and this palace has a reward!" β
Xiao Se said, and ordered someone to give Cui Jingshi the lotus flower he had just gotten from Xiao Zun: "The palace didn't bring anything, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and rewarded Miss Cui with the lotus flowers picked by the second prince himself!" β
Xiao Se emphasized the words "second prince" and "picking by hand", and the other girls really showed expressions of amazement or envy, which made Cui Jingshi very unhappy.
Xiao Zun also smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
Xiao Se had no intention of playing with Xiao Zun, Cui Jingshi and others, so he took Yan Ran and others to take a boat to enjoy the lotus, and Shen Yu also hurriedly followed.
In the name of sending Xiao Se, Xiao Zun followed all the way to the boarding place.
Xiao Se and Shen Yu have been given marriage, and the two are legitimate fiancΓ©s, even if they are in the same boat, they will not exceed the rules.
The other girls are in groups of three or five, so naturally they will not share the ride with foreign men.
Although Xiao Zun wanted to be close to Yan Ran, he didn't have a chance at all, and he couldn't help but show a look of regret.
When the boat gradually moved away, Xiao Zun was still standing on the shore, looking into the distance, and said with great interest: "Xunting, your cousin is very interesting. β
Wen Chengyan's heart was shocked, his expression was a little stiff, but he pretended to be calm, and lowered his eyes and said: "It's just a country girl, I don't have much knowledge, if there is anything inappropriate, please don't worry about her." β
Xiao Zun chuckled, and a gleam of ambition flashed in his eyes: "No knowledge? But I think she is very knowledgeable! β
Wen Chengyan caught a glimpse of Xiao Zun's expression, his heart sank again, and he secretly clenched his fists.
Soon, Wen Rongan set off with Xiao Zun to Yingdu to control the water, and the schoolwork in the school hall could only be temporarily stopped.
Yan Ran sent all the things prepared for Wen Rong'an to Fanmo, and asked Fanmo to find a way to bring them to him.
Van Mo said that it was very difficult.
Those two big carts of things, if you bring them directly, it is very inconsistent with his son-in-law's usual hard and simple style!
But there are so many things, and there is no way to hide them, what can he do!
Although Wen Rongan has Xiao Zun's umbrella, Minyang's side has not stopped.
Because usually, Wen Rong'an only had Wen Qi by his side, and this time Minyang took the opportunity to stuff him with several small servants and guards.
It's called serving and protecting, but it's actually surveillance, and maybe there will be some other small actions in secret.
This directly led to Wen Rong'an's side having too much eyeliner, and it was inconvenient for Yan Ran to contact him, and there was nowhere to say what she missed in her heart.
And because he couldn't communicate, Yan Ran couldn't know Wen Rongan's current situation, and he was worried every day about whether he was sick and whether the situation was safe.
In just a short period of time, she has lost a lot.
On this day, Yan Ran was sitting in front of the window in a daze, thinking about Wen Rong'an's current situation.
Qingxuan rushed in all the way, panting and shouting, "Girl, it's not good, someone has come to propose to you!" β
