Chapter 2 Jade Pendant
Author: Raising cats every year
On the other side, Shu Yao sat in the crowd. Princess Ruyang held her hand and smiled kindly, "Yaoyao, you can taste the newly sent lychees from Lingnan first. If you like it, your aunt will send some to the Marquis' Mansion."
Shu Yao sweetly held Princess Ruyang: "Auntie, you are so kind to me, you haven't blamed me for being late yet, why did you treat me to lychees first?"
Princess Ruyang glanced at her: "Where can I pick up any pot without opening it? Is it necessary for my aunt to scold you? I won't be the case for being late."
Shu Yao hummed softly.
She glanced at the peeled lychees on the fruit plate, but didn't take a single one, and her face gradually became hot again, thinking of the man in the dream who praised him hoarsely:
"The princess is as sweet as lychees."
"Yaoyao, your brother Yanzhou is on the side of the water shed. Do you want your aunt to call you?"
Princess Ruyang looked at Shu Yao with a smile, and found that her cheeks were pink and her smile became stronger. "You don't care when you joke about you, why did you blush like this when you mentioned your brother Yanzhou today?"
Shu Yao came back to her senses, touched her hot cheeks, and angrily looked at Princess Ruyang: "I don't..."
She was not thinking about Xie Yanzhou.
Xie Yanzhou, the prince of Taiyuan County, and Shu Yao's childhood sweetheart.
The Xie family is a founding elder and a veritable prestigious family for a century. Xie Yanzhou is the eldest son and grandson of the three generations of the Xie family. Although there are countless princes and grandsons who want to marry her, they are not as good as Xie Yanzhou. He grew up with Shu Yao, and everyone almost agreed to their relationship.
Someone once called Xie Yanzhou a child's husband Shu Yao. When the emperor was a child, he joked with Xie Yanzhou in front of her and asked him if he would marry her.
Shu Yao herself is quite absent-minded.
When he was young and had no restraint in his words, for Shu Yao, there was no difference between Xie Yanzhou and other childhood playmates. Moreover, from childhood to adulthood, when Xie Yanzhou appeared, the people around him must have this expression, and Shu Yao was already tired of it.
Shu Yao remembered the man in her dream again.
He couldn't see his face clearly in the dream, and his voice was hoarse and hoarse. Yu Shuyao said that he was a completely stranger.
Over the years, the opposite sex that Shu Yao is closest to is only Xie Yanzhou. She remembers that Xie Yanzhou has a jade pendant she carried with him. One year, the birthday gift that Shu Yao gave him. She beat the rogue with her own hands. Although she was crooked, Xie Yanzhou was very happy and kept it with her.
Does the man in the dream have this jade pendant? No. The clothes she took off with her own hands were very impressed.
And that figure... Shu Yao and her cousin secretly went to the martial arts training ground to see the soldiers, but they only felt full of muscles and had no mood to watch. The man in the Kymph had a strong chest, clear texture, and seemed thin, but extremely powerful, making people unable to take their eyes open.
"Yaoyao?"
Shu Yao came back to her senses, bent her lips, and her clear eyes were soaked in the girl's innocent naivety: "Is that so? I'll go to the water pavilion to find him."
Princess Ruyang smiled with relief: "Okay."
*
The palace of the eldest princess Ruyang covers a vast area, and a lotus pond is dug out in the middle. There are rockery trees beside the pond, and a water pavilion extends from the shore, with red columns and green tiles showing the elegance of the literati.
The young man in purple in front of him had handsome eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and his every move could not hide his nobleness. Many noble girls were secretly looking at him.
There were many noble children at the banquet today, all of whom were familiar with Xie Yanzhou. Someone joked: "Brother Xie, don't pretend to drink tea here. We don't know that you are waiting for Princess Huaxi? The person has arrived, don't go to find him?"
Xie Yanzhou took a sip of tea, looked calm but was full of energy, almost writing the pleasure in his eyes, "She still wants to reminisce with the eldest princess, so there is no hurry."
As he spoke, a notice came from the front saying that Princess Huaxi had arrived.
The noble son showed a stern expression: "I am disturbing the two of you."
Xie Yanzhou curled his lips slightly.
He grew up with Shu Yao, and Shu Yao was the most attached to him. When he was young, he liked to follow him and call him Brother Yanzhou, and growing up is no exception.
This year, Shu Yao and Hai Yan were also at the age of getting married. However, the Xie family sent someone to hint two or three times, and they were all mentioned by the emperor. It was obvious that they didn't want to get married so early.
Although everyone agreed that Shu Yao and Xie Yanzhou were a couple, the Xie family knew that the emperor's accusation was just a verbal joke. If they were not clear, they would still be a piece of paper in the end.
He came here today and wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Shu Yao and put their marriage on the agenda as soon as possible.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Shu Yao being supported by two maids, Tingting and graceful walking towards him.
Xie Yanzhou stood up and greeted him: "Yaoyao."
His eyes were almost stuck to Shu Yao. He grew up with Shu Yao, watching the girl getting brighter and more and more people covet her.
He couldn't wait for a moment to marry her home.
Shu Yao found a good view and sat down, admiring the brilliant lotus flowers not far away. She was thinking about the jade pendant in her heart, and her eyes fell on Xie Yanzhou's waist and suddenly condensed.
Xie Yanzhou did not wear a jade pendant today.
This is an unprecedented event. When did Xie Yanzhou meet Shu Yao when he saw him? He didn’t wear the jade pendant well?
"Yaoyao, a group of beautiful and gentle horses have come from the horse farm in the suburbs of Beijing. If you are interested, I will take you to the horse farm to have a walk later..."
"Where is your jade pendant?"
Shu Yao suddenly made a sound, interrupting Xie Yanzhou's self-talk. Xie Yanzhou was stunned, stroked his waist, touched him for a while, remembered something, and smiled and said, "Look at me, I changed my belt today, and even forgot to wear the jade pendant that Yaoyao gave me. It's in my room, I will wear it close to my body next time."
The intimacy and jokes were clearly reflected in his eyes. It should have been an ambiguous scene, but Shu Yao was not very interested and responded indifferently.
The horse farm that Xie Yanzhou mentioned is outside the outskirts of the capital.
It is said that it is riding a horse, but Shu Yao is dressed like this, so of course she can't do it. It's just that she leads the horse and takes Shu Yao around the horse farm for a few times to bask in the sun.
Princess Ruyang has always loved Shu Yao. She knew that she was not interested in such a banquet where she recited poems and wrote the right words. When she saw her leaving the table halfway, she was happy to see it. She hoped that these two children would achieve good things as soon as possible.
Xie Yanzhou changed into a strong suit and held the horse in front of him, but his eyes fell to another place, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yesterday, Xie Yanzhou went to the temple fair with a few friends and landed the jade pendant that Shu Yao gave him on the way. Shu Ningyou picked it up. Shu Ningyou put it in a box and asked his servants to deliver it to him.
As soon as the box was opened, I found that something was wrong. It turned out that Shu Ningyou also bought a jade pendant to give it to the Marquis of Qin Yang and put it with Xie Yanzhou's jade pendant. He took it wrong. Xie Yanzhou prepared to wait for the banquet today and go to the Marquis of Qin Yang's mansion in person.
Xie Yanzhou felt relieved when he heard that Shu Yao had not come in the morning. Besides, it was normal to change the jade pendant occasionally, but Shu Yao noticed the clue at first glance.
When he saw Shu Yao in the past, he must have worn a jade pendant, but he didn't see her very happy. Why didn't she wear it today? Instead, she paid attention to it?
