Chapter 008: Warm as Jade
The guard Xiao Yi saw a woman rashly appear outside the pavilion, stepped to the entrance of the pavilion, and scolded this unruly woman, "Bold, retreat!" "There are rules in the Zhaowang Mansion, and no one is allowed to approach the prince without passing it on.
Xuanyuan Rui had already found the woman standing outside the pavilion, Ga stopped the sound of the piano, and raised his hand to stop Xiao Yi, "Don't be rude." β
"Sorry to disturb Childe Yaxing." Yun Xiao chose the right time to salute the blessing body in the pavilion.
Xuanyuan Rui didn't want to pay attention to this woman who didn't understand the rules, and followed Xiao Yi to take her away, but remembering the harm he had done to her in the cave that day, he felt a trace of pity in his heart, got up and walked out of the Yuhua Pavilion, stood on the steps of the pavilion with his hands in his hands, and asked, "You are the woman who was saved yesterday?" β
Yun Xiao knelt down on the spot and bowed prostrately.
"Engong, please accept the little girl's worship, thank you for the child's life-saving grace."
Xuanyuan Rui raised his hand, "With a gesture, the girl doesn't have to worry about it, get up." β
"The chivalrous act of the child, the little woman is grateful, and the grace of saving her life will not be forgotten in this life." Yun Xiao got up and thanked again.
"The girl is serious."
"The little woman has thanked her for her great kindness, and it is inconvenient to disturb the peace of Engong, so she will leave, and she will be rewarded in the future thanks to her rescue."
"It is inconvenient for a woman to be outside, so the girl doesn't have to leave the house in a hurry, and she will live in the house for the time being." The women he had favored had to stay in the palace and not marry without consent.
"This ...... Since Engong is retained, then disturb Engong. β
Yun Xiao hesitated, anxious to go out and find her shop in the capital, how could Engong enthusiastically stay, besides, Engong's home was very quiet, and there was no danger, so it would be okay to stay for a day or two before leaving.
"Although the girl stays, there are no idlers in this courtyard, and the girl is free to do so."
"Thank you."
"Can I sit in the pavilion?"
"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Yun Xiao's jaw bowed slightly.
A sentence and an expression can read a person's character. Engong is as gentle as jade, elegant in demeanor, introverted and calm, which is admirable. Compared with the hateful overlord of King Sheng, You Xian's gentle temperament, I really don't want to leave in such a hurry.
"Girl, please." Xuanyuan Rui let Yun Xiao into the pavilion and motioned for the people next to him to retreat.
Xiao Yi withdrew from the Yuhua Pavilion, secretly surprised, the prince had never condescended to talk to a commoner woman politely, where did this interest come from today? He Jiu's eyes squinted at the beauty who walked into the pavilion, and the dirty thoughts still lingered in his mind.
Looking at the woman Shanshan walked in front of her, Xuanyuan Rui's profound phoenix eyes deepened a little.
Originally, it was planned to place her in another courtyard for the time being, and when she woke up, she asked for her home address, sent someone to inform her family, and then accepted her as a concubine. Unexpectedly, once this woman woke up, she would be such a smart woman, and she couldn't help but arouse his interest.
In the Yuhua Pavilion, the two sat across the table, and the maid served tea.
Yun Xiao only raised her eyes at this time to carefully look at the appearance of the life-saving benefactor, if she didn't look at it, she couldn't help but gasp in surprise at this look, she had never seen a man like beautiful jade, and the word handsome was really appropriate for him.
His face is like a jade, a pair of phoenix eyes are surprisingly beautiful, his eyes seem to be deep with infinite wisdom, and his shallow smile makes people feel no pressure, and he is in a particularly comfortable mood when getting along with such a person.
"Girl, drink a cup of hot tea to moisten your throat, you must be thirsty when you wake up."
"Oh, thank you, I'm not too thirsty, but this cup of Longjing before the rain is very fragrant and mellow, so tempting to taste tea."
Yun Xiao hurriedly rolled her gaze, a flush flew on her cheeks, she had never looked at a man so stupidly.
"The girl is very particular about the tea ceremony." Xuanyuan Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, he was really surprised, this woman could distinguish the quality of this cup of tea just by smelling the fragrance of tea.
"It's not about taste, it's just a pastime in my spare time." Yun Xiao picked up the teacup, took a small sip along the edge of the cup, and the elegance inadvertently melted into the fragrance of tea.
Xuanyuan Rui focused on observation for a while, and the teacup in his hand returned to the table for a long time.
There is no shortage of beautiful women around him, but he has never been interested in him, but he has a little interest in exploring this woman, but he has always been able to control his thoughts, suppress his aesthetic interests, and his thoughts of running away quickly turned to the right path, "Where does the girl's family live?" Why travel alone? β
"The little girl's family lives in Jizhou and goes to the capital to join relatives."
"The girl is very good-looking, and she is beautiful in women's clothes, so why would she risk to change into men's clothes in such a place?" Xuanyuan Rui asked knowingly, and said a clichΓ©.
Reading people's hearts is a habit he has developed over the years, and he is the same for his courtiers, his subordinates, and his women.
Yun Xiao is just the opposite, the rich lady has just entered the rivers and lakes, and she has very little experience in the world, and her emotions are completely infected by the handsome temperament of the gentle son in front of her, and her vigilance has disappeared without a trace.
lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "It's a long story, the day before yesterday, someone led the crowd to the house to rob the marriage, so ...... Fled to the capital in a hurry, unfamiliar with the place, did not find the relative's mansion, in order to find it convenient to change into men's clothes, but did not expect to meet ...... Fortunately, he was rescued by his son. β
