Luo Junyao listened with some boredom as Princess Ancheng's personal maid introduced her to the various scenery in the palace garden. The scenery in Princess Ancheng's garden was pretty good, but Luo Junyao had seen too many famous rivers, scenic spots and exquisite gardens. It really didn't matter.
interest.
Looking at the attentive and kind girl in front of her, she was too embarrassed to interrupt her enthusiasm. She could only lament in her heart: When will this day end?
No, I have to talk to Big Brother later! She doesn’t believe that Big Brother didn’t mean this!
"Your Majesty!" Luo Junyao was lost in thought when a man in a green shirt strolled over from across the bridge.
The eldest girl who was introducing the scenery in the garden to Luo Junyao immediately knelt down and saluted.
The young man was about 20 years old, and his appearance was similar to that of Princess Ancheng. He was handsome and elegant in a green shirt with wide sleeves and a wide robe with elegant straps.
However, he is different from those young men in the capital. His skin color is slightly darker, and he is obviously a person who often walks outside. However, this does not affect his appearance and temperament. On the contrary, he is more free and unrestrained like a literati.
It is completely different from those dandy boys who are so pampered and have fine skin and tender flesh that they can't wait to put on makeup.
This young man is none other than Xie Xiao, the eldest son of Prince Ancheng.
Xie Xiao was startled when he saw Luo Junyao, and a playful smile flashed in his eyes, "Who is this girl?"
The eldest girl hurriedly said: "His Majesty, this is the second daughter of General Luo's family. The princess is talking to Mrs. Luo and ordered the servant to take Miss Luo to see the garden."
Xie Xiao remembered that the people around her mother had told her to come to the garden, and she suddenly understood.
He waved his hand towards the girl and said, "It turns out to be Miss Luo. Nice to meet you."
Luo Junyao also has a good impression of this young man. She feels that this man is a bit like a combination of the eldest brother and the second brother.
Of course, this person should have a scheming attitude that neither her eldest brother nor his second brother could defeat.
"Hello, Your Majesty."
Xie Xiao said: "Miss Luo is a distinguished guest, why don't you show her around?"
Although the princess originally had this intention, the prince was a little confused when he suddenly cooperated with the big girl. The prince came back not long ago, but he has already had battles of wits and courage with the prince and princess no less than five times.
After a moment, he came back to his senses and said quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xie Xiao smiled and said: "Miss Luo, what suggestions do you have?"
Luo Junyao was a little surprised, but he still said honestly: "How about we go over there and rest for a while?"
"please."
Xie Xiao asked the girl to bring some tea and snacks, and then led Luo Junyao to the pavilion by the lake not far away.
The two walked to the pavilion and sat down. Xie Xiao waved the girl away before looking at Luo Junyao with a smile and asked: "Miss Luo really doesn't like Xie Chengyou? Why did you suddenly think about it?"
Luo Junyao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the handsome young man in front of her. His words were so direct that they were almost rude, but she did not sense any malice in them.
Blinking his eyes, Luo Junyao asked: "Your Majesty, have you... ever been beaten because of your mouth?"
The warm smile on Xie Xiao's face froze for a moment, and then she coughed lightly and said, "Of course not, I'm just a little curious. Miss Luo doesn't have to answer if she feels it's inconvenient."
Luo Jun shook his shoulders and said, "It's nothing inconvenient. If you don't like it, just don't like it. What reason do you need?"
Xie Xiao frowned, as if this answer did not convince him.
After a long while, Xie Xiao sighed and said, "Does Miss Luo know what my mother-in-law means?"
Luo Junyao smiled and blinked, but did not answer.
Xie Xiao asked: "What does Miss Luo think of me?"
"She looks good." Luo Junyao commented objectively and seriously.
"..." Xie Xiao was choked for a moment, but quickly regained her strength, "Then... what if I tell the girl that I already have someone I like?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Very good. Congratulations to you. I wish you two a long life together."
Hearing this, Xie Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing his expression, Luo Junyao was speechless.
She finally understood that this man was so rude when he opened his mouth because he was afraid that she would fall in love with him.
What are you thinking about? Young man, there must be a limit to narcissism, right?
After confirming that Luo Junyao was not interested in her, Xie Xiao instantly relaxed a lot and even took the initiative to lift the teapot and pour a cup of tea for Luo Junyao.
"Xie has heard a lot about Miss Luo's feats these days and admires them." Xie Xiao held the teacup and said with a smile, "I'll give Miss Luo a drink instead of tea."
Luo Junyao clinked glasses with him and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, do you have anything to say to me?" Since Xie Xiao already has someone he likes, he shouldn't have come over at all, or just come to him directly.
The opportunity is gone.
Xie Xiao looked at Luo Junyao with some embarrassment, and Luo Junyao looked at him with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed, tell your story."
Xie Xiao smiled helplessly, "You are very different from the rumors."
Luo Junyao was a little regretful, "I haven't heard your rumors, so I can't judge."
Xie Xiao sighed and said, "I want to ask the girl for a favor."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it."
Xie Xiao said: "Can you... don't refuse this matter for the time being?"
Luo Junyao looked at him strangely and said, "Since you don't like it either, isn't it just right for me to refuse? Besides, I'm a girl, okay? I also want to save face, do you want to refuse me?"
Xie Xiao shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no. I just want to ask you to delay it for a while."
Luo Junyao asked: "How long? If the princess, my father, and my eldest brother take it seriously, then no one can save you."
Xie Xiao quickly said: "It won't take long, just half a month. You don't have to agree, as long as you don't explicitly refuse it first. This kind of thing... the woman's family will consider it for a while, right?"
Luo Jun shook his head, "That's what I said, but... why should I help you?"
Xie Xiao said: "I won't let you help me in vain. Are you a martial arts practitioner?"
"uh-huh?"
Xie Xiao said: "I brought back a sword from the northwest. You might like it."
Luo Junyao reminded: "I use a knife."
Xie Xiao ignored him and said, "Don't you want the famous sword Zhaoying?"
"..." The famous sword Zhaoying is one of the famous swords in ancient times. It is said that it can not only blow hair, but also has a very beautiful appearance. The most important thing is that she was once the sword of Xie Anlan, Princess Rui of Dongling.
This is a bit hard to refuse.
Luo Junyao looked at Xie Xiao warily, "Such a big price, just to make me reject your home fifteen days later? What on earth do you want to do?"
Xie Xiao spread his hands helplessly and said: "I don't use swords very much. That sword was something I got by accident. It's nothing. Don't worry, it won't involve the Luo family or you. I just... need some time.
I just need to deal with some things. If you refuse today, I will see the next person tomorrow. To be honest, because my mother-in-law wanted to see you, I was quiet for several days. Otherwise..."
Luo Junyao, who is also very busy these days, feels the same way: they are all the same miserable people who are urged to get married.
Several thoughts quickly passed through Luo Junyao's mind, and Luo Junyao said with great interest: "You want to use me to get your sweetheart."
Xie Xiao said: "I promise that your reputation will never be harmed."
"So, you are still in unrequited love?" Luo Junyao asked.
Of course she knew it would not implicate her. After all, it had nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end. She just thought about it for a few days and then declined politely. This was a normal thing in the marriage of Shangyong's powerful people.
Xie Xiao shook his head and said nothing. Although Luo Junyao was puzzled, he did not go to the bottom of the matter, "Shadow Sword, I will tell my mother first that I want to think about it. After half a month, whether your things are done or not, I will
I formally rejected An Cheng’s palace with my mother.”
I hope Princess Ancheng won't have any objections to her because of this. She quite likes that gentle and elegant princess.
Xie Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem, I will have the Shadow Sword delivered to you tomorrow."
"Then, deal!"
The two reached out to high-five at the same time, and both looked at each other happily and laughed.
In the Prince Regent's Palace, Wei Changting was teasing His Highness the Prince Regent in a happy mood.
"I heard that Mrs. Luo took Miss Luo to Prince Ancheng's Mansion today."
Xie Yan looked up at him, "What do you want to say?"
Wei Changting said with a smile: "Mrs. Luo, the princess of Ancheng County, is a close friend. She is from the same family and is of the same age. I have also met the prince of Ancheng County. He was born with a talented person and a beautiful tree in the wind. If they can become a couple, they will be a match for each other."
Xie Yan looked at Wei Changting coldly. Wei Changting was in a surprisingly happy mood, "What's the use of glaring at me? I didn't cause this. Isn't it just what you wanted? I tell you, if not
Considering our friendship, I even want to pursue the second girl of the Luo family myself."
"Whoosh..."
A gust of cold wind came directly towards Wei Changting's face. Wei Changting was well prepared and avoided it neatly. He said with a smile: "By the way, this second girl from the Luo family is really promising. She even told me a while ago that she should practice martial arts diligently. In the future, she will
Men who like it can snatch it back directly. Haha, let me tell you, with her status, there is no need for her to snatch it personally. As long as she likes it, someone will naturally snatch it for her. Of course, except you."
