Chapter 18: Give a Gift
Sima Shao hoped that he would eat like a salted fish and wait for death.
There are so many royal rules.
His status dictates that he must follow the royal rules, and he must abide by etiquette, education, laws, and so on......
These things annoy him.
This is completely different from the prince he imagined, and sure enough, what was filmed in the TV series was a lie, who said that the prince didn't have to follow the rules, and he could be carefree.
Sima Shao now just wants to find Yu Wenjun to go shopping to relieve his boredom.
He hadn't had a good time with Yu Wenjun for two or three days, and when he saw Yu Wenjun today, he always felt that she had something to tell him, but he just couldn't say it, and he wondered if Yu Wenjun was hiding something from him.
"Something is wrong with you today." Sima Shao said affirmatively.
"What's wrong?" Yu Wenjun asked with a smile, she was in a good mood now, because Sima Shao finally came to accompany her.
"Today, I don't think you're a little weird." Sima Shao frowned and said, Yu Wenjun's usual dressing style is male, and he dresses casually.
But today she changed into a gorgeous women's long dress, which made Sima Shao faintly feel that something was wrong.
"There's something wrong with me." Yu Wenjun pretended not to understand.
"I always felt that you had something to tell me today, but you didn't say it, so I thought you were a little strange today." Sima Shao said.
“......”
Yu Wenjun actually dressed up like this on purpose.
Yesterday, her father Yu Chen talked to her all night about the marriage contract.
Her father is a smart man, he knows that his daughter likes Sima Shao, and he is also very happy to see it, Yu Chen is not a fool, he knows Sima Shao's identity.
It is the best candidate to compete for the crown prince and even the throne. If he marries his precious daughter into the palace, his career will go further.
Yu Chen also likes Sima Shao very much, and he really wants his daughter to marry Sima Shao.
......
Yu Wenjun was secretly screaming in his heart, Sima Shao had already seen through that he had something to hide from him, so what should he do, did he really want to tell him about the marriage contract that his father said last night?
Yu Wenjun thought for a long time. Nor did I find a suitable excuse.
His Royal Highness is a smart man, how can he hide it from him, but whether he wants to say it or not, what will happen to him after he says it, and if he is not satisfied with the decision of the elders on both sides, will he become disgusted with himself?
Yu Wenjun was entangled in his heart.
She only hoped that Sima Shao would quickly forget about it.
Yu Wenjun was silent for a long time, but still told the truth: "Your Highness, actually...... I have something to tell you. ”
Sima Shao sighed in his heart, he guessed that Yu Wenjun must have something important to hide from him.
"What's the matter, tell me, how can I know what you're hiding from me if you don't say it?"
Sima Shao pretended to be relaxed on the surface, he was looking forward to it now, and wanted to know what Yu Wenjun would hide from him.
"That's the ......" Yu Wenjun told Sima Shao what his father Yu Chen said last night.
The more Sima Shao listened, the redder his face became, he knew that Yu Wenjun was not lying, and it was indeed as Yu Chen said, he should make a decision as soon as possible. He also knew the marriage contract between the two of them.
Sima Shao was very happy in his heart. Although he didn't show it, his heart was already turned upside down.
He is hungry for Yu Wenjun's body, but he is not ready.
"I see, let's go shopping first." Sima Shao deliberately diverted the topic.
“......”
“......”
The two of them wandered aimlessly with their own hearts.
"By the way, today is the beginning of autumn."
"Huh?" Yu Wenjun tilted his head to look at him.
"In a week's time, it's Valentine's Day."
"Then let's buy you a gift in advance."
Sima Shao took Yu Wenjun's hand, and the two wandered all the way to the door of a shop.
"Welcome, what do you two need?" The shopkeeper greeted with a smile.
Sima Shao looked at Yu Wenjun, Yu Wenjun also nodded with a smile, and then said, "You help me see if there is the most expensive hairpin!" ”
"Okay!" The shopkeeper agreed. Then I started to carefully observe the items in the store.
After a while, Sima Shao saw that the shopkeeper had not moved, and couldn't help urging: "You haven't seen it yet?" ”
"Ah..... It's such a son, you see, how many of the most expensive hairpins are there, and how many styles are there, which one do you want? The shopkeeper asked.
"Take them all and take a look!" Sima Shao commanded.
Yu Wenjun was very happy in her heart, seeing that Sima Shao cared about her so much, it seemed that she was still a little attractive to Sima Shao, which made her very happy in her heart.
"Childe, please wait." The shopkeeper went to the counter to get something.
It didn't take much effort, the shopkeeper put the things on the table, and Sima Shao stretched out his finger and pointed at the white hosta on the top, which was crystal clear and looked very beautiful.
"How do you sell this?" Sima Shao asked.
"Childe has a good eye, this hairpin is the treasure of the store." The shopkeeper replied.
"Oh, how much is that?"
"Five hundred taels of silver!"
"Do you want to sell two hundred taels or not?" Sima Shao asked the shopkeeper next to Xiao Er directly.
"Sell!"
Sima Shao chuckled in his heart, he was careless!
"I mean two hundred taels, plus a piece of the hairpin next to it."
“……”
The shopkeeper hesitated, but nodded in agreement.
"Alright, wrap these things up and give them to me."
"Okay, Childe!" The shopkeeper picked up the box and wrapped it and handed it to Sima Shao.
......
After a while, the two walked out hand in hand.
"I didn't expect your Highness to bargain? Out of the shop, Yu Wenjun said with a teasing smile.
"Hehe, this is called the art of war!"
"Cut." Yu Wenjun pursed his lips.
She ignored Sima Shao.
Walk straight ahead, three steps and one turn back.
Sima Shao followed closely behind her.
Her heart was now filled with sweetness, and she had felt a sense of oppression since her father had told her about the engagement. She was worried about her future and worried that Sima Shao would not want her.
"What's wrong with you? You don't like the gift I gave you? Sima Shao saw Yu Wenjun stop and smiled.
"Not really!" Yu Wenjun retorted.
"I don't like it, so what is your distracted appearance for?" Sima Shao asked.
Yu Wenjun secretly cursed in his heart, His Royal Highness is really annoying sometimes, he lost his temper just now.
"I'm not reluctant, I'm just thinking about something else." Yu Wenjun made a perfunctory sound.
"Oh, what do you want to do?" Sima Shao asked with interest.
"I won't tell you." Yu Wenjun replied. ”
"Okay, let's go ahead and shop." Sima Shao stretched out his hands.
"Hmm."
As the sun sets, the clouds on the horizon are dyed red.
The two walked hand in hand, strolling down the street, involuntarily slowing down, feeling the pleasant evening breeze, and occasionally some children running over to play with them.
"Your Highness, do you know? I had a great time shopping today. ”
"If you're happy, I'll be happy."
Sima Shao and Yu Wenjun looked at each other and smiled.
