Cheng Xiu listened attentively, and the two got chatting and soon became friends. In the end, Princess Yongchun even invited Cheng Xiu to have a meal at Wanjinglouhai, completely winning Cheng Xiu's heart.
As soon as Cheng Xiu returned to the Hou Mansion, she showed off to Cheng Jin that she had made a good friend. Cheng Jin's ears became calluses when she kept saying "little fish".
"Axiu, you are not very experienced in the world, so you need to be careful about the sinister nature of people's hearts. Think about it for yourself, since Xiao Yu'er is helping out at the Yongxin Garment Shop, where does she get the money to treat you to a place like Wanjinglou? You guys?
The two daughters' family spent two taels of silver on a meal, can you settle the bill?" Cheng Jin heard the question immediately.
"That's a Yongxin clothing store. It's not bad to work in a Yongxin clothing store. Anyway, I think Xiao Yu'er is very good, and I have a lot to say to Xiao Yu'er. She looks like a woman with no scheming. By the way, Xiao Yu'er
Yu'er also said that there were a lot of intrigues in her brother's backyard. Not long ago, people died in her yard because of the intrigues of those women. She also said that that battle damaged her reputation..."
Cheng Xiu talked endlessly and mentioned endless topics about Xiao Yuer.
Cheng Jin had never interfered with Cheng Xiu's friends before, but there was obviously something wrong with Xiao Yu'er that Cheng Xiu mentioned, and he had to find an opportunity to meet Xiao Yu'er.
The next day, Cheng Xiu planned to go to Yongxin Clothing Store again. Cheng Jin had just returned from the Yamen and decided to go with Cheng Xiu.
Cheng Xiu repeatedly pushed back, but still failed to stop Cheng Xiu, so she had to take Cheng Jin out of the gate of the Hou Mansion.
Princess Yongchun's plan was actually very simple. Because it was difficult to get close to Cheng Jin, she simply started with Cheng Jin's sister.
As for the plan to get close to Cheng Jin, we will make plans in the future.
She never thought that things would be simpler than she expected, and Cheng Xiu would become passionate with her so quickly. She just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so she came to Yongxin Clothing Store again that day.
But she didn't expect that Cheng Jin would suddenly show up at the clothing store this time.
The moment she saw Cheng Jin walking towards her, her mind went blank and she froze on the spot, not knowing how to react.
As soon as Cheng Jin entered the Yongxin clothing store, he set his sights on Princess Yongchun. He carefully scanned the girl standing in front of the counter with his sharp eyes.
I saw the girl wearing a pale pink dress, with exquisite and beautiful facial features. She looked very simple. The only accessory on her body was a jade hairpin. Her pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be seductive. She was looking at him intently.
, looks a little silly.
It's not like he's never seen such a direct look before, but it doesn't make him bored at all.
This little fish is good-looking, and he doesn't look like a bad guy, but he looks a bit familiar.
"Brother, this is Xiao Yu'er. Isn't she pretty?" Cheng Xiu winked at Princess Yongchun as she spoke.
The princess of Yongchun opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She wanted to get close to Cheng Jin through Cheng Xiu, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Princess Yongchun was stunned on the spot, and it took her a while to realize that Cheng Jin didn't recognize her.
How is this possible?
Could it be that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he only saw Yongning and never saw her existence at all?
Thinking of this possibility, her heart froze.
The light in her eyes dimmed and her shoulders slumped.
All her emotions are exposed, happiness and unhappiness are written on her face, just like at this moment.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Yu'er, this is my brother." Cheng Xiu said and said to Cheng Jin: "Brother, don't be so fierce, Xiao Yu'er is very timid."
Would Cheng Jin be a timid person and take Axiu to the restaurant downstairs in Wanjing?
But this little fish doesn't look like a bad person, nor does he seem to be scheming.
"Axiu, please stay here for now. I have something to say to Xiao Yu'er alone."
Cheng Jin said, and then said to Princess Yongchun: "Xiao Yu'er, please take a step to speak."
Princess Yongchun silently followed Cheng Jin to a place with few people.
It turns out that Cheng Jin didn't see her at all that night. Is there anything more hurtful than this? No wonder Yongning is so confident. She deliberately approaching Cheng Xiu can't change the result.
Cheng Jin originally had a lot of things to ask Princess Yongchun, but when he saw her languid look, he felt that he was too serious.
"Xiao Yu'er, where do you live? Who is in your family? Whose name is it? How old are you this year?" Cheng Jin asked.
"I live in Kyoto. My parents have passed away, but I still have a very powerful brother and many brothers and sisters. My surname is Xiao and my name is Yu. I am eighteen years old this year." Princess Yongchun answered honestly.
Cheng Jin did not expect that Princess Yongchun was eighteen years old. He looked up and down at the girl in front of him. At first glance, he thought she was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes were slightly dim at the moment, and the only thing missing was the word "unhappy" engraved on her face.
"Do you have any malicious intentions in approaching Axiu?" Cheng Jin asked seriously without mercy.
Princess Yongchun didn't expect Cheng Jin to look at her like this. She used to be sarcastic, but under the influence of Qin Zhao, her previous mean temper gradually softened.
When she heard Cheng Jin's words, she immediately became angry: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about my being a friend with Axiu because of any ill intentions. I just won't see Axiu again in the future."
She left these words and turned around to leave. Then she looked back at Cheng Jin and said, "The prince looks like Zhou Zheng, but his mind is not very upright, otherwise he wouldn't think everyone has bad intentions."
She has always been intolerable to any grievance, and now she is no different in front of the man she likes.
Cheng Jin didn't expect Princess Yongchun's reaction to be so great. This girl actually said that he had evil intentions?
She was about to return to the counter, but Cheng Jin blocked her way: "Why is this girl so angry?"
"They are all used to and doted on by my family. Does Prince Cheng have any objections?" Princess Yongchun asked in return.
Cheng Jin was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Yu'er is not yet married when she is eighteen years old, and she is spoiled by her family and has such a bad temper. If she marries into a bad family in the future, she may not be able to live a good life.
"As long as you have no bad intentions towards Axiu, I will not interfere with your dealings with Axiu." Cheng Jin still made his position clear.
Judging from the brief interaction with Xiao Yu'er, Xiao Yu'er doesn't seem to be a scheming person. Moreover, he has such a big temper that he can't bear any grievance. However, Axiu and Xiao Yu'er are very compatible. This is also a rare fate.
Princess Yongchun rolled her eyes at Cheng Jin, secretly thinking that Prince Cheng's eyesight was so bad that he didn't recognize her identity.
After that, Axiu came over and saw that Princess Yongchun didn't seem to be unhappy at all, so she felt relieved.
Cheng Jin was not in a hurry to leave. When Princess Yongchun was happy, she took Cheng Jin and Cheng Xiu to the restaurant downstairs in Wanjing.
