Rather than wandering around this labyrinthine garden path alone, it would be better to find a "local" to ask for clarification.

After thinking about it, Su Jiao held a paper umbrella, passed over from the white marble bridge above the pond, stood at a distance of four or five not far from this person, and spoke embarrassedly.

"Hello, I'm sorry, I'm lost, do you know the closest way out of the garden?"

Xu Ruyu was in the other courtyard, surrounded by old people who were familiar with him, and no one had ever talked to him like this.

He was stunned for a moment, turned around on the wheel under the chair, and saw a woman in a sky-blue dress, holding a blue paper umbrella, standing not far away, looking at his eyes without a trace of emotion, like an ordinary stranger.

"Over there—"

At the beginning, there were many people who stammered, but now that he is lonely, he is very happy to be able to have someone who does not look at him with strange eyes.

Xu Ruyu retracted his gaze, and was just about to show Su Jiao the way, but he didn't want Su Jiao to see the jade pendant pinned to his waist at a glance, and he saluted.

"The courtiers don't know that it is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, she is offended, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness."

"You," Xu Ruyu frowned slightly, "Your Highness has never seen you, you are a bride, how do you recognize Your Highness?" ”

"Your Highness said with a smile, the piece of dragon jade pendant on your waist was given to all the princes by His Majesty, and the courtiers will definitely recognize this even if they have no eyes."

Don't you recognize it, the piece that Xu Rulie gave to Xiao Huai'an to win for himself, and he hasn't returned it yet.

Thinking of what happened at that time, Su Jiao almost couldn't help laughing.

It is said that the heroes don't mention the courage of the year, but that day she and Xiao Huai'an joined forces and gave Xu Rulie the most powerful counterattack for the first time, and she naturally has to remember it for the rest of her life.

"It turned out to be this, and His Highness almost forgot about it." When Xu Ruyu heard this, he didn't pay attention to what Su Jiao's expression was, lowered his head and silently took off the jade pendant on his waist, as if muttering to himself.

"I've been carrying it for a long time, and I'm used to it, and I forgot to take it off, but it's time to take it off."

When Su Jiao came back to her senses, she saw Xu Ruyu take off the jade pendant with an indifferent face, but she stuffed it into her arms like a precious one, so frightened that she almost opened her mouth and exclaimed, but fortunately she reacted in advance and covered her mouth with her hand.

"Don't you want to ask about the exit here, just turn two corners in the southeast direction." Xu Ruyu said lightly, his tone was very calm, and he didn't see the slightest emotion as to why he had just made such a move.

"Ah, yes, thank you Second Prince." Su Jiao blinked, and was shouted back to her senses by his words, she was very polite, and she was ready to turn around and leave, but looking at him as a lonely person here, there was some sympathy.

I remembered that at the banquet that day, the emperor decided his marriage at will according to the meaning of the queen and the concubine, Xu Ruru left the table very unhappily for this matter, Su Jiao didn't want to pay attention to these things, but she still felt that she was necessary, so she helped Xu Ruru to greet her.

"Why is the second prince like this, but he is in a bad mood?"

After thinking about it, Su Jiao came back to her senses coldly, and this sudden sentence made Xu Ruyu very puzzled when she heard it, and raised her head and looked back.

"Haven't asked Madame whose wife is it?"

"Ah, it's rude, the courtier's wife is the wife of Xiao Huai'an." Su Jiao didn't know what he meant, and replied honestly, but she was afraid that Xu Ruyu wouldn't believe it, and was about to explain, but she nodded with no surprised expression.

"It turned out to be Lord Xiao's wife, Lord Xiao has never been a nosy person, and Mrs. Xiao and Lord Xiao can be regarded as complementary personalities."

Isn't this just a change of law to say that I am nosy, people kindly want to help you enlighten and enlighten, you still talk like this, why didn't you see in the book that this second prince still has this strange temper.

The expression on Su Jiao's face stiffened slightly, and her speech was a little rushed, "The second prince misunderstood, just because at the banquet when the envoys came to Beijing, the courtiers had heard the eldest princess talk about the second prince, and I was fortunate to meet it today, which was regarded as a greeting to the second prince for the eldest princess." ”

"Ruru, how is she doing? It is rare for her to be friendly with the wives of various officials, and Mrs. Xiao is really capable. For the sake of Xu Ruru's face, Xu Ruyu barely eased his attitude towards Su Jiao.

"The second prince has won the award, and the courtiers can barely say a few words to the princess." Su Jiao watched the drama, and what she wanted to say couldn't help but come out.

"The princess is fine, but she heard about the marriage of the second prince that day, and she was worried that the second prince would be angry, and she was also sullen all the time."

"Born in the royal family, you can't even decide your own body and life, so why bother to be angry about such a trivial matter." Xu Ruyu chuckled, not knowing whether he was laughing at others or himself.

"The second prince tried to be indifferent and casual, so he didn't take down the jade pendant in a hurry." Su Jiao listened to his silent words, and for no reason she was a little more angry, and she was angry.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ruyu immediately looked at it with calm eyes, in the end, he was also a glorious second prince, and his temperament was not angry and arrogant. Although Su Jiao was a little caught off guard, she was also a person with superb acting skills before, and then she calmed down and looked back generously.

"The second prince doesn't have to be angry, the courtiers just said that, even the princess is indignant that the second prince is worried, why should the second prince hide it, the courtiers just want to persuade the second prince a few words, so as not to make the princess sad."

Since ancient times, the royal family has no sincerity, and Xu Ruru is the only relative who treats him sincerely.

Su Jiao took a breath, looked at Xu Ruyu who turned sideways without refusing or accepting, and specially adjusted her position to try to talk to him head-on.

"In fact, it is reasonable for the second prince to be unhappy, but since the second prince has already made up his mind to be an idle prince here, why should he care about the interests in the palace."

"Although Your Majesty will inevitably have to make a last resort decision for some things, the marriage arranged for the second prince this time may not be as bad as the second prince imagined."

"Mrs. Xiao married Lord Xiao, but from the bottom of her heart, but who has forced you, if it is not consensual, Mrs. can feel that your current life is comfortable?"

The so-called indisputable with the world, in fact, there will still be a few principles that I care about.

Xu Ruyu's words can be regarded as asking the key point, but they are not suitable for Su Jiao's situation, Su Jiao reluctantly held back a smile, cleared her throat, and answered seriously.

"Naturally, the situation is forced to do it as a last resort, and the courtiers and Huai'an really can't talk about any friendship, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the courtiers are not having a good time."

"Your Highness, there is a saying, if you can't get along with each other, then you will respect each other like guests." Su Jiao was calm, and her attitude was correct, so that people could feel that she was not joking.

"At that time, I also had a relationship with the lord of Peony, although it was not a national beauty, but looking at her gestures and temperament, I could see that she was a person who liked to cause trouble."

"What's more, most of the women in their country are as gentle as water, and the second prince only thinks that he has one more person to speak, so why bother with being so depressed."

"Having said that, it's just that His Royal Highness is like this, and the father and the envoy of the Japanese kingdom have given a marriage...... isn't it as humiliating as knowingly.

"Needless to say, His Royal Highness's appearance, "Just looking at the emperor's age and a calm and wise aura, his heirs will not be far behind."

Su Jiao said, her eyes unconsciously shifted to the wheelchair he was sitting in and his knees, "As for this body, I only heard that His Highness is weak, is His Highness still not good at walking?" ”

"-No." Xu Ruyu hesitated and shook his head.

"In this case, there is naturally a way to regulate the discomfort of the body, could it be that His Royal Highness the Second Prince is dissatisfied with His Majesty's arrangement, so he would rather be alone for a lifetime?" As soon as she heard that he was not disabled, but he was so bitter and hateful, Su Jiao really didn't understand.

"It's not that the courtiers don't say that they have to start a family and start a business, but the matter has come to this, and Your Highness is fine, so why bother to be so arrogant and self-pitying."

"What do you know, do you know what it's like to fall from the clouds, do you know the pain of being locked up in one place forever, and you can't even get out of the capital, and what qualifications do you have to beak your highness here?"

What was said earlier was fine, but as soon as Xu Ruyu heard Su Jiao's later words and accusations against herself, and then connected with her current situation, a nameless fire surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but rush a little bit when she spoke.

But he didn't turn around in particular, but sat up straight, his eyes blazing back.

Su Jiao gave him a look at this stunned, but seeing that he could at least have some normal reactions, he knew that his words were not completely useless, and he was determined, and he had no intention of retreating.

"His Highness is a proud person, although he doesn't care about it, in fact, His Highness also has his own pride, so His Highness shouldn't indulge like this, speaking of which, His Highness is weaker, but in other aspects, he is not lost to anyone at all."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ruyu only thought that Su Jiao was kind enough to comfort herself, and snorted very indifferently, don't look away.

Su Jiao swallowed the next words for the time being, and she didn't care about these stinky tempers like him, and then continued to speak. "And the pain of His Highness, I am not completely incomprehensible, no one in this world is born without suffering,"

"But listening to His Highness's words, focusing on so many things, in fact, His Highness should only care about His Majesty's thoughts."

The last word landed, Xu Ruyu's eyes narrowed slightly, but still only left her with a stubborn side face, Su Jiao blinked, and calmed down to hold her hands.
