"It's getting late, Dad, Mom, we are about to set off." Jing Ao frowned slightly, interrupting the secret contest between the three sisters.
"Ao'er, you have to take good care of yourself when you go out." Ms. Qin said reluctantly. Her son was too independent and had never relied on her since he became sensible. She could not find the sense of accomplishment in being a mother.
"Mother, I will." Jing Ao nodded and responded.
Mrs. Qin gave some more instructions and reluctantly sent her children out the door.
Zi Yan happily boarded the luxurious carriage and wanted to rush to the city gate immediately. Yesterday, her eldest brother said that she would meet His Highness the Third Highness at the city gate and set off together.
Chaoyang City is still very lively. In the past few days, there have been many luxury carriages going out at the city gate, and many of them are going to study.
On one side of the city gate, there was a golden carriage parked with four famous horses. The carriage was very large and made of strong mahogany. The curtains were sewn from tough silk and hung with golden bead curtains. The wind blew through
, making a crisp musical sound.
The car curtain opened, and a slender figure came down. His hair was tied up with a jade crown, he looked majestic and noble, and his blue brocade robe made him even more handsome. His slightly frowned sword-shaped eyebrows showed that he was impatient to wait.
"Master Dongfang, you are here."
"It's really a sin for me to let you, a noble prince, wait for me." Jing Ao said, pretending to be ashamed.
Zi Yan had already gotten off the carriage, straightened her appearance, then walked over and said with a smile: "I have met His Highness the Third Highness."
Nangong Chen looked calm, nodded slightly, and said politely: "Miss Dongfang, there is no need to be polite, just call me by my name from now on."
Call the Third Highness by his name? Zi Yan was surprised and happy. The Third Highness wanted to get closer to her, so she called the Third Highness... Chen? Thinking of this, her beautiful face was stained with a faint blush.
"It's getting late, let's get on the carriage." Jing Ao interrupted Zi Yan's thoughts.
Nangong Chen didn't want to be watched on the street, so he immediately returned to the carriage, but was stopped by Jing Ao.
"Chen, let's ride in a carriage together and play a game of chess." Jing Ao said, it would take at least ten or eight days to go to Lance Academy. If you don't find some entertainment, you will be bored to death.
Zi Yan was pleasantly surprised and looked at Nangong Chen expectantly. Being able to share the ride with His Highness, wouldn't it be like being with him day and night?
"I won't go." Nangong Chen refused without hesitation without looking back.
Zi Yan's joy faded away, leaving only disappointment. The eldest brother and the Third Highness were very friendly, and the Third Highness refused without even thinking. Why?
"You really forget your loyalty." Jing Ao said suavely.
Nangong Chen just smiled, opened the car curtain and was about to go in, but before he could step in, a soft and boneless hand came out of the car. A hand without any decoration, as white as ice and snow, as delicate as
Green onions.
Zi Yan was stunned by this scene before she could understand what her eldest brother said. She was also a Miss Xiangfu after all. She had seen countless beauties, but she had never seen such a beautiful person.
Slowly, she only leaned out half of her body. She was dressed in snow-colored flowing cloud brocade, with her hair like algae flowing down both sides of her shoulders. She slowly raised her head, revealing a snow-white and flawless little face.
The tender lips are slightly curved, the long eyelashes are gently fluttering, and the glazed eyes are like half-moons.
This shallow smile, like the spring breeze blowing in this hot summer, like the drizzle moistening things, easily touched everyone's heartstrings.
"Qing'er, why did you come out?" There was no distant politeness in his voice, no indifferent expression, only concern and warmth, which made people feel like a refreshing breeze.
