"I've met the Queen." Fang Zhiyao walked in wearing a peach-colored brocade dress. It looked like she had been carefully dressed. She obediently bowed towards Si Ningchi to greet her.
"There are no outsiders here today, so the little princess doesn't need to be polite." Si Ningchi said, turning his head to look at Si Haoze and said, "You and my brother haven't seen each other for many years, so why are you still so distant from me?"
"How could it be..." Fang Zhiyao's cheeks were slightly red, and she leaned slightly towards Si Haoze and said, "I have met Mr. Si."
"You are so polite, little princess." Si Haoze bowed his head in return.
He didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He looked up at Fang Zhiyao who was sitting down and couldn't help but sigh. The little princess had changed so much. The last time she saw her, she was still lively and active, like a little girl who hadn't grown up. Now we meet again.
But he looks so well-behaved, as if he has grown up suddenly.
He is also taller, and his figure is also...
Si Haoze withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and sat with his nose and nose in mind.
While Si Ningchi was talking to Fang Zhiyao, he asked people to prepare the meal. From the corner of his eye, he saw his eldest brother sitting motionless, and he did not take the initiative to talk to the little princess. Is he really determined not to marry a wife?
"Ahem, I remember that I also have a nice pair of embroidery." Si Ningchi said and stood up and said: "You girls are clumsy and don't let me touch it. I will get it myself, little princess.
Sit down for a moment."
"Yes..." Fang Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Si Haoze quickly, and agreed nervously.
As soon as Siningchi left, the courtyard suddenly became quiet, and the two of them sat facing each other in silence.
Fang Zhiyao hesitated for a long time, but finally took the initiative and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"
Si Haoze raised his eyes to look at her, and responded with a calm smile: "I'm sorry, little princess, I'm sorry, everything is fine with me."
Fang Zhiyao's eyes darkened a bit. He was still the same as before. There had never been any extra enthusiasm for him in his eyes. He was talking to you in such a non-alienated and not close way. Si Haoze asked about King Lu and Princess Lu.
, just talk to him in such a nonchalant manner.
It won't make people feel left out, nor will it make people think too much.
Si Ningchi hid in the room and peeked for a long time. Finally, he couldn't bear to look at Fang Zhiyao who was getting more and more aggrieved and frustrated. When he was debating whether to go out, he heard Fang Zhiyao directly interrupt Si Haoze.
if.
"Young Master, you don't need to bother saying these words." Fang Zhiyao tightened his sleeves and said, "You know that my father came to the capital this time to choose a husband for me. Today, the Empress is making a big move and invited me to come. Don't you know why?"
?”
"You must know it. With the eldest son's intelligence, how could you not have thought of it." Fang Zhiyao lowered her eyes and blushed and said, "The eldest son has no intention of treating me?"
"..."
Si Haoze was stunned. He looked at the pretty woman with misty eyes in front of him, as if she was desperately seeking an answer. He was unusually at a loss. In fact, he had thought that pretending to be deaf and dumb was not the answer.
,but……
Now that she was telling her feelings so openly and without concealment, it would be too much for him to pretend not to understand.
Si Haoze took a deep breath and thought again and again before saying: "Don't be upset, little princess. I have made it clear to the queen that I have no intention of marrying in this life. Even if I do, it will be a waste to others."
"I am not unhappy with the little princess. I hope the little princess can forgive me." Si Haoze leaned down and bowed.
