Chapter 15: The Prince of the World
"In the end, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated by the ruthless Queen Mother, and a pair of lovers can only meet once a year at the Magpie Bridge, which makes people feel sorry for them."
The storyteller told this folk tale that people never got tired of hearing, and in the private room on the second floor, Yu Shuyue was bored and supported her chin with her hands.
She stared blankly at the candied fruit on the table, she had been coming to this teahouse for three days in a row to listen to books and drink tea, and the story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl had been heard over and over again, and she could memorize the storyline.
She asked Aster to inquire where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usually went, so that she could create a casual encounter, or just take a look from afar to see if she could make her dream again.
But unfortunately, Qi Xiuyao rarely went out because of inconvenient legs.
Yu Shuyue has no choice, it is easy to think too much when she stays in the house all day, so she comes to this teahouse to kill time, at first she heard that the book was quite interesting, but after a long time, it began to be boring.
Just when she was bored, she heard the sound of peonies sobbing behind her, and she turned her head to look at her suspiciously.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Miss, the Cowherd and Weaver Girl are too pitiful, obviously the two are happy, but they were forcibly separated by the ruthless Queen Mother."
Peony really hasn't heard the story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl outside the Saiwai, after all, the Yu family is stationed at the border, far away from the main city, there is no wind and snow there, only swords, guns and swords.
So even if she listened to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl with her own lady for a few days, she would still be moved by this story.
"Peony, miss, let me ask you a few questions."
Yu Shuyue sat down and looked at the peony seriously.
"Miss, you say." Peony wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand and looked at Yu Shuyue expectantly.
"Will the emperor agree that the princess will marry an ordinary person who can only farm?"
"Miss, you're joking, ordinary civilians don't even have the chance to see the princess, how can they still marry."
Although the people of Daqi are open, the hierarchy is not very strict.
But commoners and princesses, this world-wide difference in identity and status is absolutely impossible.
Even ordinary families pay attention to the right family, not to mention the children of the royal family.
"Then let me ask you again, if this princess went to play, she threw off her attendant because of playfulness and ran to bathe in the river, and then a mountain villager passed by and saw the princess bathing, not only did he not quickly avoid it, but hid aside to peek at the princess taking a bath, andββ"
"Rascals! Lecher! β
Before Yu Shuyue finished speaking, she saw that Peony was very excited and began to scold.
"Well, keep listening to me." Yu Shuyue raised her hand to signal her to calm down and listen to herself first.
Not only did he hide and watch the princess take a bath, but he even thought about other things when he saw her putting aside clothes that were worth a lot of money.
Relying on the wilderness, he was sure that if he took away his clothes, this beautiful girl would not be able to leave, and finally he reappeared to help solve her dilemma, and made up a lie that a small animal in the mountains took her clothes, and he kindly helped her find her clothes. β
This princess is innocent and innocent, and she has no doubt about the credibility of the words of this mountain villager, so she is grateful to him, and even secretly has feelings for her in the later relationship, and when she is finally found by the attendants, she actually wants to take this mountain village man back to the capital to let the emperor decree to give them marriage, do you think the emperor will agree? Do you think this man deserves to be married to a princess? β
Yu Shuyue said with a dry mouth, and after taking a sip of tea, she looked at her two maidservants.
Aster saw her gaze on herself, and shook her head with a blank expression.
"No, this mountain village man had bad intentions from the beginning, he was a gangster, how can he be worthy of being with the princess, this kind of person should be cut with a thousand cuts!"
Peony was excited, but as she spoke, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong.
"Hey, miss, isn't this the same as the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl told by the storyteller outside!"
"You're just reacting now."
Even Aster, who has always spoken little, couldn't help but complain about her too slow reaction.
"Hey! It's a very good story. β
Peony only felt that she was crying and sad for the beautiful love of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl before, like a fool who lacked roots, and if she was the queen mother, she would never agree to her daughter leaving her immortal identity to be with such a person.
"The two are not quite the same, I just want to tell you, don't be deceived by a man's mouth at any time, you know?"
"The slave and maid wrote it down deeply."
Aster and Peony replied in unison, and as soon as their words fell, there was a commotion outside the door, and then the arrogant and domineering voice stopped next door to Yu Shuyue's private room.
"Master, I want this room, do you know who the master is? Dare to stop the master, I think you don't want to live anymore. β
"Xiao Shizi, this room has indeed been booked by other guests, you ......"
"Just know who the master is, get out of the way."
Before the shopkeeper's words were finished, he was kicked aside by Xiao Shizi.
"I don't know whether I am alive or dead, and the little Shizi dares to stop him, the little one, I will help you see which person who does not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky is hiding in this private room and is silent."
The person next to Xiao Shizi held him dogleggedly, and after saying with a sneer, he raised his foot and kicked hard against the door.
"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Princeβ" Originally, he kicked the door with a smug face, and he was ready to scold.
But who would have thought that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting in the private room, and he stammered as soon as he followed him.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Qi Xiuyao?
Yu Shuyue, who was in the room, heard the sound of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside, and her eyes lit up suddenly.
"Miss, it's His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Peony later also knew that her own young lady sent Aster to inquire about the prince's movements in the past two days, although she didn't understand what the young lady wanted to do, but she looked really bad at the news in the past two days, and at this moment she heard that the prince was next door, she was even more excited than Yu Shuyue.
"Yo, it's the prince, why do you have the leisure to come to this teahouse today, should it be because you know that the master is coming, so you specially block the master?"
Xiao Shizi didn't care what the prince was not very son, he pushed away the dog leg in front of him, stared at the man in a wheelchair in the private room and raised his eyebrows.
The entire Shangjing City knows that this prince who has always been a soft persimmon will treat everyone as if he didn't hear or see it, except for King Kang's only precious son, Xiaoshizi Qi Jing.
