"Girl, someone has come to Princess Changling's Mansion to ask for a meeting. Madam ordered a servant to come and ask the girl if she wants to see someone?" Luo Junyao was waving his hands at the desk frantically. Hearing the words of the girl sent by the Su family, he raised his head in confusion, "Mr.
Princess Ling’s Mansion? Looking for me?”
The girl nodded and said: "Yes, it is the steward of the inner courtyard of the princess's mansion who is here. He said he was asking to see the girl on the order of the princess."
Luo Junyao put down his pen, raised his hand to straighten his rolled-up sleeves and said, "Invite people in."
"Yes, girl."
After a while, the girl brought in a woman wearing a dark blue satin dress and two gilt moiré hairpins on her head.
He looks a bit shrewd but has a respectful smile on his face. With this kind of dress and demeanor, he is obviously someone who can be used by Princess Changling's mansion.
Behind her were four little girls in green clothes, all holding things in their hands.
When she saw Luo Junyao, she didn't dare to show off, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "My servant, Princess Xu of Changling Palace, has met the county lord."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, Manager Wang. Please sit down and talk."
Mrs. Xu Wang thanked her again and then sat down carefully.
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has ordered the steward to come to see me, but what's the matter?"
Mrs. Xu Wang said with a smile on her face: "It's nothing serious. The princess just said that she got some rare toys today and ordered the slaves to bring some to the county master to play with. She didn't say anything else."
Luo Junshao was startled, and he suddenly had a hint of realization in his heart.
How could this good-natured eldest princess be so solemn and send someone to give her a gift? I’m afraid the person giving the gift is not the eldest princess, right?
It's just that... not long after Xie Yan returned, the eldest princess sent someone to the door, which was too fast.
She was still thinking about when she would have the opportunity to talk to Xie Yan.
"Thank you very much for the eldest princess's kindness. It's just that you will receive no reward for no merit. I'm afraid I can't accept the generous gift from the eldest princess." Luo Jun said.
Mrs. Xu Wang quickly said: "Young lady misunderstood, it's not a generous gift, it's just some gadgets. They are all little girls like to play with. It's useless for the princess to keep them. I hope the county master will never refuse."
.Otherwise...when the eldest princess returns home, she will treat her as a slave running an errand and be rude to the county master. She will definitely punish the slaves."
Luo Junyao naturally knew that the eldest princess would not punish the stewards around her for this matter, but she also understood that this gift did not seem to be sent by the princess's mansion.
How could the things that little girls like to play with be kept useless? The eldest princess has a precious daughter like Qin Ning.
After thinking for a while, Luo Junyao said: "Then please ask Manager Wang to thank the eldest princess for me. I will go to the princess's house to thank you in person another day."
Seeing that Luo Junyao was willing to accept it, Mrs. Xu Wang immediately smiled.
"If you have more county body shirts, I will definitely bring the message to you."
Xu Wang said: "In this way, the slave will not disturb the county master, and he will go back and resume his life."
Luo Jun shook his head and asked Lan Yin on the side to send the group out.
Back in the room, Luo Junyao sat at the table and looked at several exquisite boxes in front of him.
Lan Zhen also came close to her and said curiously, "Girl, why did the eldest princess suddenly give so many gifts to the girl?"
Luo Jun said: "The eldest princess is a nice person."
Lan Zhen thought about the appearance of the eldest princess, and felt that although the princess was very majestic, she was not arrogant and domineering. She was indeed a very easy person to get along with.
Moreover, my daughter has a good relationship with Princess Anyang, so it is not surprising that the eldest princess would send some gifts.
Luo Junyao opened a box, which contained a jade ring. The top-quality white jade was warm and delicate in texture, and was also engraved with delicate and beautiful flying phoenix patterns. Just one look at it made people feel bright.
White jade of this quality is usually made into bracelets or jade pendants, but now it is made into simple toys. The stone required for this must be much larger than bracelets or jade pendants.
Even among the rich and powerful, I'm afraid not many people are willing to waste things like this.
There are similar things in the next three boxes.
A box of exquisite seven-color gemstone balls and an extremely delicate and beautiful bracelet. Luo Junyao took a closer look and found that there was a hidden weapon hidden in the bracelet, which could be used for self-defense.
Finally, there are several small ornaments carved from jade of various colors, each of which is extremely delicate and breathtaking.
Lan Zhen couldn't help but marvel, "The eldest princess is so kind to girls."
Luo Junyao said: "I'm a little thirsty, go and get me some fruit tea."
Lan Zhen nodded in agreement and quickly turned around.
After Lan Zhen went out, Luo Junyao slowly took out a folded letter from the last box.
As soon as I opened the letter, Xie Yan's majestic handwriting appeared on the paper.
The content of the letter was not long. Xie Yan apologized to her for what happened that day, mentioned his marriage proposal to the Luo family, and attached two sentences at the end.
——If you are lucky enough to join hands, I only wish to live a long life.
Luo Junyao quickly put the letter on the table, hesitated for a moment, then picked it up and read it again, with a look of confusion on his face.
Was this really written by Xie Yan?
I always feel that someone like Xie Yan is not someone who can write such tender words.
Could it be that Wei Shizi wrote it on his behalf?
This guess was of course nonsense. Even though they had known each other for a short time, Luo Junyao knew that Xie Yan was definitely not the kind of person who would hire someone to ghostwrite even such a thing.
So, did he write this?
Lan Zhen came in with fruit tea and saw her girl sitting at the table, holding her chin in thought, but a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Late at night in the Regent's Palace, Xie Yan was sitting alone in the pavilion by the Jingyuan Lake, drinking tea and enjoying the rare leisure time.
As the regent, even though he had just returned to the capital not long ago, he still had a lot of official duties.
In the past, he would have been reviewing memorials in his study at this time, but now he was sitting alone by the lake, as if waiting for something.
The silver moonlight shone quietly in the garden, and the faint light from the stone lanterns scattered on both sides of the bluestone path added a touch of bright color to the dark garden, but it also made the entire garden and the people in it feel more lonely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the night gets darker, the garden seems to be getting quieter and quieter.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yan suddenly turned around and looked at the intersection of the path not far from the pavilion. With a faint smile in his eyes, he said warmly: "Come out."
It was quiet for a while, then a slight sound came from behind the bushes on the side of the path, and then a slender figure appeared behind the bushes.
First he stuck out a head, and then slowly moved the whole person out.
After a while, Luo Junyao had already walked outside the pavilion.
Luo Junyao was a little frustrated, "Did the prince do it on purpose?"
As soon as she entered, she noticed that the journey was smooth and she encountered almost no guards or whistles.
Even if His Royal Highness the Regent has unparalleled martial arts skills and is not afraid of danger, if the Regent's palace has this level of defense, it will not be enough for Xie Yan to be assassinated ten times a day.
"But how did you know I was coming?" Luo Junyao was a little curious. She felt that she had been careful enough and did not reveal any traces or noises.
Even if Xie Yan didn't remove the guard, it was late at night, and she might not be able to get in just by touching the whistle.
Xie Yan looked at the pretty girl standing outside the pavilion. The girl was wearing a light blue dress in the night. Maybe she didn't dress up because she was traveling at night.
Her hair was tied with only two hair ties, and her face was plain and without makeup.
The faint light from the lantern hanging on the eaves of the pavilion shines on the girl's face. Her eyebrows are unpainted but dark, her lips are unpointed but red, and her eyes are moving, looking forward to the flight.
Xie Yan said softly: "Why don't you come in?"
Luo Junyao had no choice but to walk in, sit down opposite Xie Yan, "Does the prince know that I will come?"
Xie Yan said: "I don't know, but... I hope you come. Shake, I'm very happy to see you coming." The little girl's character will probably not be patient and wait for the right time to come to him, although she has some feelings for her character.
He was eighty percent sure, but he actually wasn't even sure about whether she would come tonight.
Shake?!
A low voice rang in his ears, and Luo Junyao felt his cheeks feel a little hot for a moment.
It was a quiet night, the two of them sat opposite each other, and the pavilion seemed particularly quiet.
Xie Yan looked at the girl in front of him steadily, "Before..."
Xie Yan was a little reluctant to talk about his rejection of Luo Junyao before. When he couldn't figure out some things, he was entangled and felt that they were extremely important. But if he figured it out, he would find that his previous thoughts were more than ridiculous.
, I simply didn’t see it.
Luo Junyao looked at him curiously, Xie Yan sighed lightly and said: "I thought wrong before, and I never thought you had any bad intentions. I am very lucky that you are still willing to come to see me tonight."
Luo Junyao asked, "What if I don't come?"
Xie Yan said: "Then I have to go to Luo Mansion to ask for an audience tomorrow."
Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly, "What did you originally want to miss? Have you figured it out now?"
Xie Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I always thought that I shouldn't drag you into this mess of mine. General Luo must have told you something. The position of regent is beautiful, but the things that need to be worried about are not
More. Jun Yao is the jewel of the Luo family, he could have lived a more smooth life, so why bother being dragged down by me?"
Luo Junyao puffed up his cheeks in displeasure and glared at the man sitting opposite, "Then why do you still want to propose marriage to my father? Why did you change your mind again?"
Xie Yan was silent for a moment and said softly: "Because... I am unwilling."
After all, he didn't say anything about how he thought about it. In the final analysis, he would do this because he was unwilling to do so.
He didn't want to be a stranger to her from now on or could only respond to her with polite greetings.
People are still selfish after all, and the so-called struggle is just thinking that they can be selfless.
"Xie Yan is very pleased with you, girl. If you can still get the girl's favor, I hope that we will hold hands with the girl until death." Xie Yan's eyes were deep, and he looked at the girl opposite him steadily, and said slowly.
Luo Junyao felt his heart beating like a drum, and he seemed to be drowning in those eyes like the deep sea.
