The interior of this black nanmu car is indeed as luxurious as the outside. There are several soft cushions on the seats, gold-woven green silk, and dragons and phoenixes embroidered on them. Incense balls are hung on the roof, and the aroma of wood is completely suppressed by the car.
Stay here, it smells very soothing.
Ruan Yuyi was really tired after being active for so long, and the carriage inevitably swayed a bit as it moved. She was leaning on the wall of the carriage, her head getting sleepy little by little.
She seemed to still have some consciousness, but she wanted to hold on to prevent herself from falling asleep, so she occasionally sat up straight, and the beads on her hair continued to tremble.
Jiang Huaiyang looked at it interestingly at first, but then he really couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply pressed her head and let her lean on his shoulder, so that she could sleep peacefully.
He was able to fall asleep in front of others. This little lady was so unsuspecting, but she still felt from the bottom of her heart that he was a kind person.
Jiang Huaiyang pursed his lips, his eyes complex, with dark waves hidden in them.
He remained sitting in silence until the carriage stopped. Ruan Yuyi probably realized something and woke up without waiting for others to call him.
She blinked her still dazed eyes, and a red mark appeared on the side of her cheek where she was leaning on Jiang Huaiyang's shoulder. "Ah, I'm sorry, Your Highness." She realized that she seemed to be resting on his shoulder almost all the way, and the tips of her ears were a little red.
Hong seemed to be suppressed as well.
"Are you awake?" He sneered softly, making her unable to tell whether he was mocking or teasing.
She followed him closely, took Mu Xiang's hand, picked up her skirt and got out of the carriage.
At this moment, the crowd on the long steps became slightly sparse, and some vendors had already begun to pack their things. Tonight's lantern festival was about to end, which made her feel unreal, as if the bright lights in front of her were all a dream.
After sleeping for a while, Ruan Yuyi lost some strength and her whole body was limp. The woody fragrance helped her not to fall down on the steps.
When saying goodbye, Jiang Huaiyang didn't say anything. It wasn't until the master and servant entered the courtyard that she suddenly remembered that he was still wearing his cloak.
"Miss," Mu Xiang looked up and down at the cloak and asked, "doesn't the prince need to return this cloak to him?" She didn't know the reason, but she thought it was because the prince was afraid that the lady would be cold, so he took it off from her.
Ruan Yuyi was startled and said vaguely, "It's not too late to let me change my clothes first and then go."
"If not, then don't bother. We'll do the same thing tomorrow." Mu Xiang saw that she was just sleepy and advised her.
But after taking a nap in the carriage, she no longer felt sleepy, "It doesn't matter, let's go tonight."
In the wing room.
Mu Xiang took off her cloak and then noticed the damage at the back of the dress. She took a breath and said in surprise, "Miss, how did you do this?" Why did the fabric at the back of her waist get torn?
Ruan Yuyi replied, "I was accidentally hooked when I got off the boat."
It turned out that the prince had taken the young lady out for fun. The worry in Mu Xiang's eyes disappeared, and she pursed her lips and smiled softly. She usually went out to do business and had been by the river before, so she knew that there were many pleasure boats nearby.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiang also thought of the interesting thing she discovered when she was crowded to the stage, so she casually talked to Ruan Yuyi.
What was being sung on the stage was still the common drama of a talented man in trouble and being rescued by a beautiful lady. Everyone's eyes were focused on the stage, but she was looking around for the lady and didn't pay attention to what was going on on the stage. Looking around, she actually saw the lady.
The male actor, wearing makeup and makeup, probably just finished a performance.
This was really novel. In her knowledge, she had only seen her daughter's family playing leading roles before.
After listening, Ruan Yuyi also became interested, and then asked, "How does the Hua Dan look like? How similar is it to the woman?"
"The figure is slightly slender than that of an ordinary man. When I saw him, I had already taken off his make-up. If you just look at the posture, you can't tell the difference." For a man to have such an attitude as a daughter's family, it must be
It takes a lot of effort, and I don’t know how much suffering I have to endure while practicing.
But in order to make a living, they have to endure it no matter what.
The two of them chatted casually while Ruan Yuyi changed into another dress. This was an epiphyllum brocade dress with gold and white patterns, but it was much more elegant than the previous one.
She took off the hairpin ring, leaving only a jade hairpin to hold her long hair in place. She was putting the hairpin on the tables when she saw Cheng Xingqiu standing at the door, looking inside.
Ruan Yuyi suppressed her smile and frowned, "What is the eldest son looking for?" She could roughly guess who he was looking for, but she felt a little disgusted in her heart.
Cheng Xingqiu saw that the room didn't look like she could hide anyone, so she withdrew her gaze and glanced at the boy on the side. The boy quickly came forward with a set of cups and carefully placed the things on her shoulder.
In the house.
He said softly, "This is milk, specially prepared for you in the dining room. It can help you sleep."
He added, "How was the lantern festival?"
He and Zhao Rong only walked in the market, so they came back earlier than her. As Zhao Rong walked down, the maid next to him had a lot of things in his hands, including three lanterns of different styles.
Ruan Yuyi glanced at the cups on the table. They were covered with lids, perhaps to keep them warm. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "You don't have to worry about it, sir. I will go away with pleasure and return with all my pleasure. I won't
I have wronged myself."
Seeing her cold attitude, Cheng Xingqiu twitched the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, "That's fine, you -"
"Young Master, if you have nothing important to do, please come back." She cut off his words and turned her body slightly, as if she was about to turn around and leave.
Hearing this, Cheng Xingqiu's face darkened, "Do you have to make me unhappy?"
He admitted that he was a little impulsive in the morning, but he thought that they had been in love for two years after all, and she would not get angry with him over this matter. In fact, even if she cried for a while, or got beaten and scolded, it would be better than what she was doing now.
The appearance of neither salty nor bland will make him feel that everything he does is dispensable.
Seeing this, Mu Xiang took a small step forward and blocked Ruan Yuyi slightly behind her. She said in a calm tone, "Master, our young lady is a little tired today and needs to take a rest."
When Cheng Xingqiu heard this, his expression softened, it turned out that she was acting like this because she was tired, "Then you should rest earlier." After that, he withdrew.
After he left, she casually opened the lid of the tea, and the white air inside suddenly burst out, and some warmth came from her fingertips placed on the side of the cup. The milk in the tea cup was moist white, and more than half of the cup was filled.
She did not touch the glass of milk, but kept it there until it became cold and lost its original aroma.
He must have believed her words about taking a rest and would not come again tonight. Ruan Yuyi straightened her clothes, took out the big cloak, and went out. Taking advantage of the silence in the courtyard, she went out without calling Mu.
The fragrance follows.
When she passed the eldest princess's wing, she found that the lights were still bright inside, but Cheng Xingqiu's room was dark.
