Three days passed quickly, and Su Xiaoxiao's injuries were much better. Today was Prince Xu's 22nd birthday. As soon as the Youshi hour arrived, Ding Shaoze came to Lichun Courtyard dressed neatly and met Su.
Xiaoxiao was sitting in the yard in a daze. He frowned and called Qiu'er and said, "His Royal Highness King Xu's birthday banquet will be held at Xu. Why don't you dress up the young lady?"
After hearing what Ding Shaoze and Qiu'er said, Su Xiaoxiao remembered that today was the birthday of His Royal Highness King Xu, and whispered, "Damn pig is so stupid! Sure enough, his father's name was not wrong for him to marry! Pig is stupid, why?
You can’t be smarter either! Didn’t you agree to send someone to pick me up to celebrate his birthday? It’s almost dark and they haven’t come yet!”
"Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Xu's birthday banquet is not going to keep others waiting. Miss, let Qiu'er dress up for you!"
Su Xiaoxiao hesitated and didn't want to go. She didn't know Prince Xu. What did his birthday have to do with her?
Damn pig, you're so stupid! Why didn't you call someone to pick her up at this time?
However, it was useless for him to come. The prince was the prince. How could he, a commoner, compete with the prince? It was also his father's fault. He didn't know how to choose a day to give birth to his son. He had to choose the same birth date as the prince!
Thinking of this, I looked at the empty gate of Lichun Courtyard again. It looked like that pig was so stupid that he forgot to invite me! Hey! It turned out that I wanted to take the opportunity to go out to play! It seems that there is no chance! Let's go to the Wang Mansion for a walk!
Maybe I can pick up a prince?
The first level of officialdom is overwhelming, so Ding Shaoze wouldn't dare to compete with the prince for his wife, right?
When Su Xiaoxiao dressed up and came out, Ding Shaoze's eyes widened. Is this the inconspicuous Su Ruliu?
Her skin is as white as jade, her cheeks are swiped with a touch of rouge, like two peach blossoms in full bloom, her eyebrows are lightly swept, and her small facial features are not exquisite, but when put together, they make people look inexplicably comfortable.
The black and silky black hair was tied into a popular bun by Qiuer's skillful hands. An elegant golden hairpin was pinned on the bun, and it was swayed gently with each step, making her look graceful and graceful. All the hair on the back of her head was spread out.
Drape it on the back of your head to add a touch of elegance.
Wearing a lavender dress, the breeze blew gently, blowing the corners of Su Xiaoxiao's skirt. Seeing Ding Shaoze's eyes straightened, Su Xiaoxiao raised her head proudly, but unexpectedly, she accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt.
The person fell forward.
I only saw a tall figure flashing before my eyes, and I fell into a generous embrace.
"Thank you, Ding Shaoze." Su Xiaoxiao naughtily stuck out her tongue at Ding Shaoze who was hugging her. Looking at Su Xiaoxiao's naughty and cute look, Ding Shaoze's usually cold eyes actually showed a hint of warmth, and his big hands
Gently stroking Su Xiaoxiao's hair, there seemed to be a smile at the corner of her mouth, "Call...husband!"
Husband? This word almost knocked Su Xiaoxiao Lei away.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's hesitation, the warmth in Ding Shaoze's eyes disappeared. He snorted coldly, pushed Su Xiaoxiao away, and strode towards the door. After walking a few steps, he turned around and shouted to Su Xiaoxiao, "Not yet."
Follow?"
"Here we come!" Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, why are you so fierce? It's not that I have to go with you! It's that prince who has nothing to do and wants to invite me to the birthday party!
After walking out of the gate of Ding Mansion and about to get on the sedan, Su Xiaoxiao seemed to see that familiar slender figure at the corner. When she looked carefully, there was no figure there?
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
But, why do I always feel like some inexplicable eyes are following me?
Until they arrived at the palace, Su Xiaoxiao still felt those eyes following her. When she looked back, she didn't see anyone. Could it be that she was a ghost?
Su Xiaoxiao was startled by her own thoughts. With this thought, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and the two red lanterns swaying in the wind on the gate of the palace also felt a little strange.
"The palace has arrived, why don't you follow?"
Ding Shaoze's sinister voice interrupted Su Xiaoxiao's random thoughts. Su Xiaoxiao carefully looked around, recited Amitabha silently in her heart, and hurriedly followed.
Ding Shaoze is so violent that even ghosts are afraid of him. You will be fine if you follow him!
Walking into the palace, dignitaries would come to greet Ding Shaoze from time to time. Whenever Ding Shaoze was talking to those men, Su Xiaoxiao would hide away bored.
When those wealthy ladies and daughters saw Ding Shaoze, they immediately burst into smiles. When they saw Su Xiaoxiao, their faces immediately turned gloomy.
No matter how stupid Su Xiaoxiao is, she still knows that she is just like a light bulb, the brightest one.
While Ding Shaoze was surrounded by a large group of wealthy ladies and dignitaries, Su Xiaoxiao quickly ran away without any concern for himself.
After twisting and turning in the huge palace, Su Xiaoxiao finally came to a beautiful courtyard called Lifangyuan. It was strange to say that she seemed to have seen the layout of this courtyard before, but for a moment she couldn't think of it.
stand up.
The yard is full of pear blossoms. In April, the pear blossoms are all gone, leaving only the green trees, smiling proudly in the spring breeze on their branches.
A maid came over and saw Su Xiaoxiao wandering around in the courtyard. She rushed in nervously and dragged Su Xiaoxiao out of the courtyard without saying anything.
"Miss, this courtyard is a forbidden area of the palace, no one is allowed to enter!" The maid thought Su Xiaoxiao was a wealthy lady from a certain family who came to attend the prince's birthday banquet, so she whispered.
"Forbidden land?" Su Xiaoxiao looked at the lonely pear blossoms in the garden in surprise. After the early spring, the pear blossoms were all blooming, and the pear trees in the garden seemed even more lonely.
"Yes, miss! Anyway, miss, don't go in again, otherwise, the prince will lose his temper if he finds out!" The maid gave a few more instructions, and when Su Xiaoxiao nodded, she left in a hurry.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to be slapped as soon as she entered the palace, so she reluctantly left Lifangyuan and walked around in the palace, and she was actually led to the back garden of the palace.
It was spring, the garden was colorful, the flowers were in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers and plants filled the air. Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath of the intoxicating fragrance and was in a good mood.
She had only been to the garden of Ding Mansion once, and she went there and back in a hurry. Except for the incident where she bumped into Ding Shaoyu and the third lady Qianyun, she didn't see any scenery.
This time she finally had the opportunity to see the palace's garden. She would be sorry for herself if she didn't take a good look!
Su's father loves flowers and plants and has done some research on them. Su Xiaoxiao has a keen eye and ears and knows a little about precious flowers and plants.
"Dou Yan, Mo Kui, chrysanthemums are white, ladies are planting emeralds, soft jade is fragrant... I didn't expect that this prince is quite knowledgeable about flowers and plants, and has collected so many famous peonies... and orchids..."
"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace garden without permission?" A sharp shout came from behind, interrupting Su Xiaoxiao's intention to continue admiring it.
"I'm here with me... the one from my family..." Su Xiaoxiao slowly turned around and said the word "husband" in a very awkward manner.
