Chapter Twenty-Three: It's Time to Learn to Grow Up.
This night, Liu Xiyue's interest was particularly high, from this end of the street to the other end of the street, several people stopped and stopped, put river lanterns, guessed anagrams, and ate sugar gourds, so unhappy.
Suddenly, she became interested in the ring again, pulled He Yuan into the crowd, and waved her other hand at Jiang Yanran Yunyan, who was following behind.
Jiang Yanran and Yunyan looked at each other and smiled, and they reluctantly stepped forward.
The stall owner struck the gong and said: "Don't miss it when you pass by, I am a person who has half of my body in the ground, and I am deeply ashamed that I have no descendants behind me, so I decided to take out the treasures at home and give feedback to the township." ”
As he spoke, he took out the bamboo ring he had made in advance and continued: "This circle is a penny, and these things behind me, which one in the set will be sent, and the little old man will do what I say, and never break my word." ”
Liu Xiyue's eyes swept and she took a fancy to the jasper hairpin placed at the front, she pulled He Yuan's sleeve, and said meaningfully: "Brother Yuan, you see that hairpin is so beautiful." ”
He Yuan glanced at it and said, "This hairpin is not gold or jade, it's just imitation." ”
Jiang Yanran almost laughed out loud next to her, this He Yuan is really wood-like and incomprehensible.
Liu Xiyue was also choked, and was about to continue talking, when a pleasant female voice inserted strongly: "Isn't this Brother Yuan!"
Then a fragrant wind struck, and a beautiful woman in a plain dress appeared on the other side of He Yuan, and said with surprise on her face: "Brother Yuan, we are really fated to meet here." ”
Liu Xiyue rolled her eyes, snorted and muttered, "Nasty ghosts are really everywhere." ”
He Yuan nodded politely at the woman, "How can Miss Xie be here alone, it's late at night, I'm afraid it's not safe, it's better to go home early." ”
Xie Ronghua smiled softly, "Brother Lao Yuan is worried, but don't worry, I'm here with my brother, and I'll be fine." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a handsome young man squeezed in panting, and said, "How can my sister go so fast, she almost can't keep up with you." ”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw He Yuan and Liu Xiyue hurriedly about to salute, but He Yuan stopped him and said, "You don't have to be so polite outside." ”
Xie Ronghua also helped: "Brother is just too careful, we are so familiar with each other, how can we need to be so polite, wouldn't it seem to be raw." Saying that, she turned her head to Liu Xiyue and said, "I really want to ask Your Highness for peace, Your Highness is a noble person of the Heavenly Family, and I can't compare with you." After speaking, he saluted Liu Xiyue.
Liu Xiyue was so angry that her nose was crooked, and she said in her heart that you have never behaved so politely in ordinary times, what are you pretending to be here, it's really hypocritical!
Seeing this, Jiang Yanran had a bad heart, and hurriedly pulled Liu Xiyue's sleeve, signaling her to calm down, and said in surprise as if she was reckless: "I have always heard that the Xie girl is high-spirited and clean, and today I see that she is really a person who knows etiquette and etiquette, unlike some high-ranking girls, saying one thing and doing another thing is really a villain's behavior." ”
Xie Ronghua was really angry or laughing, but said embarrassedly: "I don't know which girl you are? ”
Jiang Yanran smiled and replied: "Thank you for the noble lady, I am from the Fengcheng Shen family, and I was with the princess to drink with you a while ago." ”
As soon as the front foot praised her, Xie Ronghua had a noble temperament, and the back foot was a sentence that the noble man forgot about things, which instantly blocked her speechless.
Xie Ronghua's face froze, and he suddenly glanced at Jiang Yanran coldly, and stopped talking.
Seeing Xie Ronghua deflated, the happiest thing was Liu Xiyue, so she almost cheered and set off fireworks to celebrate, with a sweet smile on her face, and she thought that she would definitely reward Jiang Yanran when she went back.
Jiang Yanran also stopped talking and lowered her eyes and silently retreated behind Liu Xiyue, so she missed Xie Jinyan's inquiring eyes.
"Brother Yuan, that green hairpin over there is really beautiful!" Xie Ronghua couldn't see Liu Xiyue's pride, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said casually.
Liu Xiyue snorted coldly, the smile on her face did not diminish at all, and said in her heart that you Xie Ronghua also had a day of stepping on the pit.
She was waiting for He Yuan to continue to be puzzled, but unexpectedly this time He Yuan hummed lightly, which was completely different from the reaction just now. This made Liu Xiyue angry.
The heart is sour, especially not a taste.
What He Yuan was thinking about was that this hairpin was really so different and particularly likable? Liu Xiyue was like this just now, Xie Ronghua was also like this, so he just thought, since they all said it was good, it should be good.
With this in mind, he casually responded without thinking much about it at all.
Unlike Liu Xiyue, who was depressed, Xie Ronghua suddenly became more aggressive.
She pretended to be coquettish and said: "It's good for Brother Nayuan to take it for me, tomorrow is my birthday, so it's okay to be a birthday gift?"
He Yuan didn't answer, but he was about to step forward to see the action, Xie Ronghua smiled at Liu Xiyue very proudly.
Liu Xiyue immediately grabbed He Yuan's sleeve, and reluctantly said under her puzzled gaze: "Brother Yuan, I suddenly feel that the hairpin is just like that, what you said is not gold or jade, but it is just an imitation, how can it be worthy of being a birthday gift for a girl!"
Without waiting for He Yuan to speak, Xie Ronghua said again: "Your Highness, haven't you heard of a sentence called "It's hard to buy a thousand gold, am I happy?" Even if it's an imitation, as long as it's given by Brother Yuan, then it's worth a thousand gold. Saying that, she continued slightly: "However, with His Royal Highness's talents, he may not have heard of it, and it is the courtier's nonsense. Please don't blame Your Highness!"
He Yuan ignored Xie Ronghua and asked Liu Xiyue lightly: "What's the matter?" didn't you just say you liked it?"
What's the use of liking it, you have to give it to Xie Ronghua as a birthday gift! Liu Xiyue was angry in her heart, glared at He Yuan and said, "I don't like it now, can't I!"
Saying that, he turned around and left, "I'm tired, let's go back to the palace!"
Jiang Yanran and Yunyan hurriedly followed, Liu Xiyue walked about twenty or thirty steps, I thought He Yuan would catch up, but I waited for a long time and didn't see him, this time I was really sad.
His eyes were red, and he stomped his feet and scolded: "What a stupid fool, what's so good about Xie Ronghua!"
Yunyan was so anxious that she didn't know how to comfort Liu Xiyue, she hurriedly poked Jiang Yanran, Jiang Yanran had no choice but to rack her brains for a long time and didn't know what to say.
"It's been so long, it's time to go back. At this time, Liu Hanxing suddenly appeared, standing not far from them, in the dim light, at a glance for ten thousand years.
Jiang Yanran lowered his head and couldn't wait to shrink himself behind Yunyan, holding on to luck, he was a little whiter than when he was in Fengcheng, he shouldn't be able to recognize it.
Liu Hanxing slowly walked in front of Liu Xiyue, his eyes paused slightly on Jiang Yanran, the smile on his lips did not decrease, and he said to Liu Xiyue: "Have fun today?"
Liu Xiyue called out to the seventh brother and said weakly: "Open, happy." "She is most afraid of two people in her life, one is her father and the other is her seventh brother, the former is strict and has passed away and can no longer control her, while the latter is that she is reluctant to worry about him.
Nowadays, everyone says that he is the most kind and tolerant like a spring breeze, and he is a model of a gentleman in the world, but only she knows that when she was young, when her father was still alive, her seventh brother was not like this.
Liu Hanxing nodded, "That's good." ”
"I have sent someone to settle the matter with the imperial sister-in-law about you sneaking out of the palace, and since you have done your best, go back. Liu Hanxing looked at Liu Xiyue's still childish face and suddenly sighed, touched the bud she picked up and said, "Jiu'er, you should learn to grow up." ”
