Shui Ling'er couldn't hear their conversation, she was focused on Rong Ye at the moment, although there were many beauties in the town where she grew up, but she was still much inferior to this girl.

The neat bun on her head, several hairpins inlaid with jewels, and a touch of rouge make her originally beautiful face look delicate, wearing a pink dress and embroidered with white butterflies.

Shui Ling'er reached out and touched her uncombed and messy hair that had just gotten up, the clothes and skirts on her body were not neat, and she was even barefoot under her, compared to the woman, she was ashamed.

Shui Ling'er couldn't help but feel sad and uncomfortable, and turned around and walked back to the room lonely.

She rarely sat in front of the dresser, arranging her hair according to the bronze mirror, usually Situ Jing helped her tidy it up, but now she does it herself, which is a little uncomfortable.

There was no rouge gouache on the table, only a sterling silver hairpin, she picked it up and inserted it in her bun, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and recalled the girl who was with Situ Jing, she actually had the mentality of comparing with her.

Shui Ling'er wanted to go to the street to buy some rouge gouache, but then she realized that she didn't have half a cent of silver on her body, and she usually went out with Situ Jing by her side, and he would pay the bill, but he must be with that girl at the moment, and she didn't want to look for him.

She walked to the study to find Fang Yu, but in the distance, she saw Fang Yu talking to Situ Jing, which made her dispel the idea of looking for Fang Yu.

As she reached the cloister, a voice came from behind.

Dongfang Yu couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Shui Ling'er was alone, his opportunity had come, and he said, "Shui Ling'er, are you hanging around here alone?" He came from the palace to talk about the Chu State and his relatives, but he happened to meet her, and of course he valued her.

Shui Ling'er frowned, the only person she could find right now was probably him, she said, "Do you have any silver on you?"

Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to ask this, he said, "Yes, how much do you want?" If you give her two silver in exchange for the favor of the beauty, it is worth it.

Shui Ling'er suddenly showed a bright smile and said, "Let's go to the market to buy something."

Dongfang Yu was distracted by this laughter, his heart jumped wildly, he couldn't help blushing, and said, "Okay." He took her hand and walked briskly in the direction of the door, lest he be seen and he would not be able to enjoy his time with her.

Shui Ling'er happily followed Dongfang Yu, not paying attention to him holding her hand at all.

The markets in the imperial capital are bustling with all kinds of vendors and jugglers.

Shui Ling'er came here for the first time, and she was so excited that she ran around with Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu saw that she was so happy, and said, "The market in my Chu country is also as lively as this, next time I will take you to visit."

Shui Ling'er said frankly, "Okay."

Dongfang Yu hooked the corners of his mouth, pulled Shui Ling'er to lean towards him, and said, "Shui Ling'er, what do you think of me?"

Shui Ling'er's mind was already on the vendor, and she said unintentionally about Dongfang Yu's question, "It's a pervert."

Dongfang Yu frowned and said, "I really didn't mean to be in the bath that time, can't you change my opinion?"

Shui Ling'er looked at Dongfang Yu, he had saved her, and now he brought her out, she believed that others were not bad, she said, "Yes, Brother Yu." She remembered that he liked to hear her call him that.

Dongfang Yu said happily, "Don't be with Situ Jing anymore, how about being with me?"

Shui Ling'er shook her head and said, "I don't want it, the person I like is Brother Jing."

Dongfang Yu chuckled, thinking that she could like Situ Jing, but the person she loved could be him.

He saw Shui Ling'er looking around and said, "What are you looking for?"

"Looking for a hairpin seller." She wanted to have a beautiful hairpin like that woman.

"I'll take you." Dongfang Yu led her into the jewelry store on the street and said to her, "You can take whatever you like, I'll buy it for you."

Shui Ling'er also unceremoniously took a bunch of them to settle the bill for the shopkeeper, and not long after that, she pulled Dongfang Yu to buy a lot of rouge gouache.

King Jing's Mansion, after Situ Jing finished his official duties, he asked Fang Yu to take the edict issued by the Queen Mother to the Yanhou Mansion, and asked the two sons of the Yanhou to go to the army for half a year.

He walked out of the study, it was close to noon, thinking that Shui Ling'er should wake up, so he walked to the room, but he didn't see Shui Ling'er's figure, he asked Steward Chen, but he didn't expect Dongfang Yu to come to the house to look for him, and he actually abducted Shui Ling'er away.

Situ Jing's face was gloomy, his hands clenched into fists, and he kept guessing where they had gone.

Steward Chen said cautiously, "King Jing, they should have gone to the street to buy something, because a shopkeeper sent some hairpins and rouge gouache."

"Show me those things." actually took her to buy these, a good Dongfang Yu, this has always been bought by a husband to his wife, is he provoking him?

Steward Chen quickly went to the room to bring the hairpin and rouge gouache, and secretly sent someone to find Shui Ling'er to return home, otherwise King Jing would be jealous and go to the street to arrest people, but it would be ugly.

Situ Jing looked at the hairpin and rouge gouache that Steward Chen brought over, and said angrily, "Vulgar! Take it all and throw it away!"

Steward Chen was stunned, these are all brand new, and it will be a waste if they are thrown away.

Seeing that Manager Chen was indifferent, Situ Jing shouted, "Don't take it and throw it away!"

Steward Chen hurriedly said, "Yes." He turned away, secretly thinking that he would take them back to his wife, or it would be a pity to throw them away.

Half an hour later, Shui Ling'er returned to King Jing's Mansion, and Dongfang Yu returned to the palace after seeing her go in outside the mansion.

Shui Ling'er walked to the courtyard in front of the main hall, and saw Situ Jing leaning on the railing, glaring at her fiercely, she didn't think much about it, she happily ran to Situ Jing, and said happily, "Brother Jing, is there anything different about me?" She had a newly bought floral hairpin in her hair, Dongfang Yu said that it was good-looking, and she hoped that Situ Jing could also say that it was good-looking.

Situ Jing saw the hairpin on her hair and said coldly, "It's ugly." He stretched out his hand and pulled the hairpin off her hairpin, threw it on the ground, and said, "You are not allowed to wear it in the future."

Shui Ling'er cried instantly, she squatted down and picked up the hairpin on the ground, which she had chosen for a long time, she thought Situ Jing would like it, but she didn't expect to be disgusted by him and thrown on the ground.

Situ Jing was stunned for a moment when she saw her crying, it was just a hairpin, could it be that she was sad because Dongfang Yu bought it for her? He said angrily, "In the future, you will not be allowed to go out without my consent." With that, he turned and left.

He didn't understand what Dongfang Yu's brother was better than him, and Shui Ling'er would cry for him.

At night, Situ was in a state of flux, and went back to the room to find Shui Ling'er, but there was still no Shui Ling'er in the room, did she run out again? The anger he had subsided rose again, and he called Steward Chen to inquire.

Steward Chen said hesitantly: "In the afternoon, Miss Shui Ling'er asked the little one to find a room for her, the little one was unwilling, because during this time, she slept in your room, and then she insisted on asking that the little one originally planned to let her live in the Yuxuan Pavilion next to your courtyard, but she said that it was too close to you, so..." He didn't know how to continue, the couple quarreled, and he was the most difficult middleman.

Situ Jing said gloomily, "So what?"

Steward Chen knelt down and said, "So Miss Shui Ling'er asked to sleep in the servant's room in the backyard, and said that she couldn't let you know."

"What a water spirit." Sure enough, it was far enough away from him, and he said, "Lead the way, find her."

Steward Chen couldn't refuse, after all, King Jing was the biggest in King Jing's Mansion.

In the backyard room, Shui Ling'er squatted on the bed, clasped her hands and knees and looked at the hairpin on the bed in front of her, thinking of Situ Jing's dislike of her, and thinking of the beautiful woman who was with Situ Jing, she couldn't help crying, sure enough, Situ Jing liked that woman, and what did she come to the imperial capital for.

I don't know how long later, the door was opened forcefully, and Shui Ling'er saw Situ Jing walk in, she quickly turned her back to him.

Situ Jing walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, held his patience, and said, "Is it necessary to cry for Dongfang Yu?"

"Not really."

Situ Jing was silent for a moment, he took off his coat and put it aside, climbed onto the bed, pushed Shui Ling'er's body inside, and said, "Go over a little, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

Shui Ling'er turned her head to look at him and said, "This is my room, you go back to your room and sleep."

Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tear stains on her face, Situ Jing couldn't help but reach out to wipe the tears on her face, and said, "Don't cry, if you like the hairpin that Dongfang Yu bought for you, you can wear it."

"But you're ugly."

"He has weird tastes, and I don't like them." In fact, it was bought by Dongfang Yu.

Shui Ling'er burst into tears and shouted, "You are too good, I picked it, you dislike me for having strange tastes." Dongfang Yu just helped her pay the money.

Situ Jing's eyes widened and he was stunned, it turned out that he had misunderstood her, and he hurriedly explained, "Looking back now, that hairpin is quite distinctive, and it suits you very well."

Shui Ling'er looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You said that the hairpin tastes weird, and you said that it suits me, so you think I'm weird."

"Why do you think so, I mean the hairpin is actually not bad, and it looks better on your hair." This is the first time Situ Jing has coaxed a woman, and he screams tired in his heart, but this is what he brought on himself, and he can't complain about people.

Shui Ling'er sighed and said, "Brother Jing, it turns out that you coax women like this, it's old-fashioned, I've seen a lot." used to peek in the flower building, and the group of guests coaxed the girl in the flower building like this.

Situ Jing instantly had the idea of strangling her, he tried his best to make her happy, she still thought he was old-fashioned, I really didn't know what to do.

He took Shui Ling'er into his arms and said, "Sleep, tomorrow I will bring you some hairpins and rouge gouache." He planned to go into the palace and get it, which was better than what he bought in the market.

After a moment, Shui Ling'er complained, "Brother Jing, you go back to your room and sleep."

"Why?"

She nudged him and said, "It's so crowded here." This bed can only sleep one person, and Situ Jing insists on squeezing her.

Situ Jing likes to squeeze like this, because Shui Ling'er is close to him all over his body, and he said, "My woman sleeps here, and I have to sleep with grievances."

Shui Ling'er was not aggrieved when she saw him, but enjoyed it very much.
