Chapter 162 Young Master
(1st update)
Also coming with Su Shirong was Su Zimo.
Nalanjing thought about the last time her family invited Su Shirong and Su Shiqin to have dinner at home, and Su Zimo went with them. Why didn't she know before that the relationship between these cousins was so close?
Su Zimo noticed her gaze and said calmly: "Why is Mrs. Rong staring at me?"
Nalan Jing smiled and said, "I'm just a little envious of the close relationship between the brothers Marquis and Young Master Su."
How could Su Zimo not hear that her tone was only three-point sincere, and simply said with the purpose of self-destruction: "I just come here to admire Master Rong."
Nalanjing: "..." You have ulterior motives written on your face instead of admiration!!
The group was preparing to leave the palace when Gu Bai and Rong Xuan received an urgent summons from Emperor Tianshun.
Nalanjing was a married woman and was not allowed to participate in politics, so she followed Su Shirong and Su Zimo out of the palace.
Su Shirong suggested sending Nalanjing back to Princess Street first. Nalanjing found it troublesome, but based on what he learned from last time, Su Shirong refused to agree to her going back to Princess Street alone.
Just at this moment, a carriage stopped in front of them, and a man carved in pink and jade got out of the carriage and stood in front of several people.
When Su Shirong saw Liu Yiru, he bowed humbly: "Princess Zhaohua."
Nalanjing paused for a moment and greeted Liu Yiru as a courtesy.
Liu Yiru had a refreshing smile on his face: "Mrs. Rong, there is no need to be too polite. I was the one who was rude in the palace just now. I heard that Master Rong is still in the palace. Why don't you, Mrs. Rong, ride in a carriage with me and the Liu family will go to Princess Street to meet you."
It's a more convenient route than the Marquis of Weiwu, not to mention that the lady is a woman and I am also a woman, so we can still talk to each other on the carriage."
Su Shirong originally wanted Nalanjing to ride in his carriage and leave the carriage to Rong Xuan, who would escort him on horseback. Liu Yiru's words clearly reminded him that Nalanjing was different from men and women, and it was indeed inappropriate to let Nalanjing ride in his carriage.
For a moment, he frowned and looked at Nalanjing without making a sound.
Naturally, he was worried about Nalanjing riding in the Liu family's carriage, but his status was not suitable for him to refuse on Nalanjing's behalf.
Nalanjing felt strange, when had she offended Liu Yiru and made her so persistent?
"Okay, then I'll give you a call to Princess Hua." Nalan Jing was annoyed and simply agreed.
She and Liu Yiru got on the carriage together.
Su Shirong escorted behind on horseback.
Su Zimo also followed.
The Liu family's carriage was luxurious and comfortable. After Nalanjing got on the carriage, she did not sit upright like a normal back-house woman. Instead, she sat on the floor with one leg stretched out, her elbow resting on her knee, her chin propped up, and her breathing lazily
, the sitting posture is frivolous and casual.
Liu Yiru's eyes were dark, and he felt a dull pain in his gauze-wrapped fingers, so he looked away.
The whole journey was silent.
The carriage soon stopped at Princess Street. Liu Yiru got off the carriage first, looked at Nalanjing who came out of the carriage, and smiled slightly: "Today I am destined to meet Sister Qing. I will invite you to play with me another day."
Nalanjing: "..."
She looked at Liu Yiru, who looked like a little sister, and it seemed that her reputation as a "genius girl" was well-deserved. Although she was young, she was very thoughtful.
Nalan Jing chuckled: "Thank you Princess Zhaohua for sending your wife back. It's getting late. I'll invite Princess into the mansion for tea another day."
Liu Yiru nodded and watched her go in.
He turned around and smiled at Su Zimo: "Sister Qing has such a good character."
Su Zimo didn't understand the twists and turns of the women in the back house, but he was not an idiot. At today's banquet, Liu Yiru clearly wanted to use his piano skills to step on Nalan Jing, but he fell down and became a joke.
How could you believe Liu Yiru's words now?
He didn't respond, got on his horse, whipped his horse and left.
Su Shirong apologized and left after Su Zimo.
Liu Yiru was frozen in place, his face pale and his body shaky.
Her maid said angrily from behind: "This mighty warrior is so majestic, how dare he be so rude to the princess."
"Go back." Liu Yiru immediately put away the fragility on his face and got into the carriage with a cold voice.
When Nalanjing returned to the house, Watsonyan heard the sound and came out. He was relieved to see her back safely.
A year ago, Rong Xuan had an accident because the third prince fell off a cliff, so Watson Yan had an inexplicable fear of the royal family. When he knew that they were going to the palace for a banquet, he started to be on tenterhooks. Now half of his heart has finally dropped, and the other half has to wait for Rong Xuan to come back.
, you will feel completely at ease.
Hua Shengyan ordered the kitchen to cook sweet soup and asked Nalanjing to drink a bowl with her.
After Nalanjing went back after drinking the sweet soup, he saw a person squatting at the door of the courtyard. When the young man saw her, his frost-white face looked away slightly uncomfortably. She had a tall and thin figure and slightly hunched shoulders.
Go.
He entered Nalanjing's house.
The maid who was serving him was already used to it. When she saw Nalanjing coming back, she stood by respectfully.
Nalanjing entered the room, sat down next to him, and said, "Do you have lunch?"
The young man remained silent.
Nalanjing took a deep breath silently and asked the maid in the room.
The maid shook her head, worried that Nalanjing would blame her, so she explained: "Young Master got up late today..."
So from morning till now, I haven’t eaten two meals.
Nalanjing didn't know how he grew up to think so of himself.
As if sensing her anger, the young man raised his head in a low voice: "I'm not hungry."
Nalanjing stared at his handsome features for a long time, and saw that his childlike eyes were shining with stubbornness, and the gloom in his eyes seemed to be pulsing with scarlet mist.
Nalanjing sighed softly, and after his anger subsided, he asked the maid to serve the food again.
Half an hour later, the maid came in with two maids to arrange the dishes.
The maid served three dishes, one soup, and a side of fried dumplings.
After everything was ready, they left.
The boy sat still.
Nalanjing glanced at him, his eyes narrowed, full of ferocity.
The young man still sat still, as if he didn't notice anything, but his body began to tremble slightly.
Nalanjing: "..."
Nalanjing withdrew his gaze, filled a bowl of rice and put it in front of him, then picked up his favorite catfish with chopsticks and said softly: "Eat."
Nalanjing felt that all his good temper in his life had been used on him.
The young man glanced back at her, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
Nalanjing watched him add three bowls of rice, and the corners of his eyes twitched. Who said he wasn't hungry?
After a few bowls of rice, the frost on the young man's face was much lighter, and he went out obediently.
Nalanjing wanted to change out of the heavy clothes on his body.
The young man returned to his room and noticed someone behind him. He closed the door and looked back at the man in black hidden in the darkness.
The hoarse and harsh voice of the man in black sounded: "Young Master, it's time for you to return."
The young man said indifferently: "I'm poisoned."
The man in black's aura changed obviously. He approached the young man closely and felt for his pulse. Then his anger surged: "Go kill her!"
Chapter completed!
