When Xiao Jialan heard these words, she couldn't help but think of the hairpin that Yuan Chen gave her. So did this man think that she didn't understand Beichen's customs?
Su Xinyue looked at the two of them and said: "So, are you giving this purse to your sweetheart? Tell me quickly, who is your sweetheart?
Is this the young master who came to the banquet today? But haven’t you just returned to Beijing a few days ago? Now you have found your sweetheart, isn’t it too fast? "
Xin Ruyi listened to her series of questions and didn't know how to answer them.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a light cough.
Xiao Jialan looked up and saw Ye Jinming walking in. She subconsciously hid the purse in her hand that she had not finished embroidering.
But Ye Jinming had sharp eyes and had seen it a long time ago. He said, "What is it hiding? Take it out and show me."
Xiao Jialan had no choice but to take the purse back and said, "I originally wanted to give my eldest brother a surprise."
Ye Jinming looked at her without blushing when she talked about it. He remained calm and stared at the purse in her hand and said, "Don't you know that what I like is bamboo? Why did you embroider orchids?"
Xiao Jialan said: "A gentleman is like an orchid. I think my eldest brother is very similar to this orchid."
Ye Jinming suppressed a smile and said: "I still prefer bamboo, why don't you dismantle it and redo it for me? If you find it troublesome, I will dismantle it for you."
Xiao Jialan looked at the orchid she was about to finish embroidering, and said with a face on her arm: "Brother."
Ye Jinming said: "Ruyi, you take Xin Yue back to rest first."
Xin Ruyi knew that the siblings had something to say, so she took Su Xinyue and left first.
After they left, Ye Jinming said: "This purse is for the prince."
Xiao Jialan was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother, I..."
She bit her lip and said, "I know it's impossible to be with him, but..."
What happened in her past life was not a dream she had. She and Yuan Chen were originally husband and wife, and he died to protect her. This love has long been engraved in her bones and she cannot let go.
It was not that she had never thought about keeping a distance from him, but just like in her previous life, he still took the initiative to approach her, making her unable to push him away or refuse him.
Ye Jinming sighed and said, "I know you can't control your feelings, but when did you fall in love with him?"
Yuan Chen fell in love with Jialan Xu because of the grace of saving his life, but he always felt that Jialan had that kind of feeling for Yuan Chen from the first time they met.
It's not like it was love at first sight, it's more like they've known each other for a long time.
Xiao Jialan looked at Ye Jinming and said, "Brother, if I say that I have seen him in my dream, would you believe it?"
Ye Jinming was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xiao Jialan and asked, "What dream?"
Xiao Jialan said: "A very, very sad dream."
She took a deep breath and said: "In the dream, I concealed the fact that Jia Jia was dead, deceived you, followed you back to the Duke's Mansion, and became your sister.
On the day His Royal Highness came back from Yangzhou, someone startled his horse and almost trampled on a child. I ran to save the child, but His Royal Highness saved me.
We got to know each other like this, and then gradually fell in love. I married him as the lady of the Duke's Palace, became his crown princess, and became pregnant with his child.
But just when the child was about to be born, my identity as Princess Nanyue was exposed, and even the letterhead of my affair with Nanyue was found from the prince's mansion.
In order to protect me, Yuan Chen sent me out of the capital, but who would have expected that the Yan family and the Han family would seek refuge with Yuan Hao. They falsely accused Yuan Chen of colluding with Nanyue to rebel, murdering the late emperor, and jointly executed Yuan Chen.
