Chapter 009: For the sake of the prince
The two sisters are wearing a white plain skirt, wearing a light tulle, and wearing a sachet at their waists, faintly exuding a faint fragrance and refreshing smell.
Sister Shang Ling's personality is more lively and active, daring to love and hate.
Seeing Zhou Mao doing something to her sister in Tianxianglou, she couldn't help but do it.
Sister Shang Xi looks delicate and dignified, and her first impression is that she is more demure and introverted, not like the type that is easy to cause trouble.
Long Junjiu didn't expect that after going out, he could unexpectedly harvest a pair of sister flowers, and it just so happened that he was short of people now.
Along the way, Long Junjiu tentatively inquired about the origin of Shang Ling and Shang Xi's sisters, and learned that they came from other counties, but when he asked them why they came down the mountain, Shang Xi looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.
"Speaking of this, I'm angry, hum, it's not that they want to force my sister to marry someone she doesn't like, saying that the marriage is good for both families, for the sake of my sister's happiness, they are selfish, that man is a well-known gentleman over there, my sister doesn't want to accept the family's arrangement, so I escaped with her."
Shang Ling said excitedly.
Long Junjiu was slightly stunned and said, "You escaped from marriage?" ”
Shang Ling nodded calmly: "Yes, I don't want my sister to marry that gentleman, my sister doesn't like him, and I don't like her." ”
Long Junjiu couldn't cry or laugh.
This girl's temperament is a bit fierce, the two girls are from the family, and they will run away from marriage when they say they will run away from marriage.
Shang Xi seemed to be worried that Long Junjiu would dislike them, and immediately said softly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, we won't cause you trouble, if someone from our family comes, we will never drag Your Highness down." ”
Long Junjiu shook his head and firmly promised: "It's okay, it's a trivial matter, if you don't want to go back, then stay in peace, as long as you do things for me, I will protect you, and no one can take you away." ”
"Really? Then let's say it, the gentleman is hard to chase after him. ”
Shang Ling showed a joyful expression when he heard this, and stretched out his little thumb to look at Long Junjiu expectantly.
Seeing this, Long Junjiu chuckled, and also stretched out his little thumb and hooked: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." ”
Not long after, everyone returned to King Jiang's mansion, and Long Junjiu asked Lu Lao to arrange a room for the second daughter.
"Old Lu, don't forget to ask someone to go to Zhou's house to deliver a letter, telling them that they only have two days to redeem people, and they won't wait for the expiration."
Long Junjiu turned his head to look at Lu Lao and admonished.
Hearing this, Shang Ling raised his hand without hesitation and shouted, "Go to Zhou's house to deliver a letter?" Let me go, Your Highness. ”
"You're going?"
Long Junjiu looked at Shang Ling suspiciously.
"Leave it to me for such a trivial matter as sending a letter, and I also want to do something to repay His Highness for his kindness to our sisters."
Shang Ling replied firmly.
"Since you are so active, then this matter will be handed over to you, I will write a letter now, Lu Lao, prepare pen and ink and letter paper for me."
"The pen, ink and paper are in the study, please come with me."
After a while, Long Junjiu wrote the letter, handed it to Shang Ling, and said, "Send the letter to the Zhou family and come back, there is no need to have any conflict with them, so as not to suffer a loss." ”
"Yes, lord, then I'll go."
"Well, go ahead."
"Sister, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon."
"Be careful on the road and stay safe."
"Got it."
Long Junjiu looked at Shang Ling's departing back, then turned his head to look at Qingzhu and Shang Xi, and said softly: "If it's okay, you go to rest first, I will call you if there is anything." ”
"Miss Shangxi, let's go out, don't disturb His Highness's rest."
Qingzhu looked at Shang Xi on the side and said in a clear voice.
Shang Xi nodded and silently followed Qingzhu out of the study.
Shang Xi glanced at Qingzhu quietly, she was grateful and afraid of Qingzhu, and the incident in Tianxianglou still left a lot of psychological shadows on her.
"Miss Shangxi, I don't know what your purpose is for approaching Your Highness, but as Your Highness's personal maid and bodyguard, I must warn you, don't try to play any tricks around Your Highness, if I find out that you want to do something unfavorable to Your Highness, I will not hesitate to solve you."
Qingzhu looked at Shang Xi with a cold expression and said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Shang Xi's delicate body stiffened, and hurriedly said: "Qingzhu girl, you misunderstood, we are not..."
"You don't have to explain to me, you just need to remember what I said in your heart, Your Highness is a gentle person, so I will not let go of anyone who wants to hurt him, I will always keep an eye on you, of course, as long as you keep to yourself, I will not do anything to you."
Qingzhu ignored Shang Xi's expression and reaction, turned around indifferently and left the place, and said in his heart: (Your Highness is guarded by me.) )
Shang Xi's face stiffened, and after listening to Qingzhu's words, she couldn't help but feel a trace of grievance in her heart, but she was soon relieved.
After all, they are newcomers, and it is understandable to be suspected of having other purposes, not to mention that Long Junjiu's identity is still a prince.
They came here to find a place to stay, and at the same time to repay Long Junjiu's kindness in rescuing him in Tianxiang Building, she believed that sooner or later the other party would see their sincerity and sincerely accept them.
Thinking of this, Shang Xi did not go back to his room to rest, but turned back to find Lu Lao, the housekeeper of Jiangwang's Mansion.
After a while, Shang Xi came to Lu Lao's side and shouted, "Lu Lao." ”
Lu Lao showed a puzzled gaze and asked softly, "Oh, it's Miss Shangxi, is there something wrong?" ”
Shang Xi asked, "Old Lu, is there anything I can do in the house?" ”
Lu Lao said with a smile: "Miss Shangxi is frightened today, go and have a good rest, there are people in the house to take care of it, there is nothing to trouble." ”
Shang Xi's expression was a little lost, and he wanted to help but found that he couldn't help in the end.
Seeing this, Lu Lao pondered for a while, and slowly asked: "Miss Shangxi, don't mind, you just arrived at Jiangwang's Mansion, you might as well take a look around this Jiangwang's Mansion, live in peace for a few days, and then it's not too late." ”
Shang Xi thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said, "Old Lu bothered. ”
"Whatever you say, it's all for the prince."
Lu Lao said with a smile: "Miss Shangxi doesn't care about the miscellaneous affairs of the palace, she might as well spend more time on the prince, after all, it was the prince who promised to take you in." ”
Shang Xiqiao's face was slightly stunned, and when she heard Lu Lao's words, she couldn't help but think of Long Junjiu's handsome and domineering side face when she was in Tianxiang Building, and her cheeks were suddenly red, and an inexplicable taste quietly appeared in her heart.
Shang Xi secretly clenched his fists nervously and asked softly, "Put more thought into His Royal Highness King Jiang... Old Lu, do you know what His Royal Highness King Jiang likes? ”
Lu Lao shook his head and said: "There is nothing that can be done about this matter, and the old man has only seen the prince today, and this matter still needs Miss Shangxi to pay attention to herself and carefully observe the prince's preferences." ”
"So that's the case, Shang Xi understands, thank you for your advice."
"Hehe, Miss Shangxi is polite, what the old man does is for the prince."
