After Xiao Niao left, Jiang Fang took Duan Jiu's hand away from his shoulder, and then said angrily: "Everyone can see that she likes you so much, why are you so cruel?
Is it because the status of the Third Prince Consort restricts you and prevents you from pursuing your true love? If so, feel free to tell me."
Duan Jiu's face showed no emotion at all, and asked: "Then the third princess, can you tell me why you came to Wanghua Pavilion today?"
Jiang Fang obviously came to apologize, but for some reason, when he saw Duan Jiu and Xiao Niao Niao acting like that, he got angry and his words became strange.
"Of course I'm here to see the show. This drama of love and concubine really makes me a little envious. If it weren't for the restrictions of this status, you would probably become the eighth prince-in-law, right?"
Duan Jiu's eyes flashed with a trace of hurt, but the expression on his face did not change at all. He said: "As early as in Langtou Village, you knew the attractiveness of my face, didn't you?
If this face can bring me benefits, then I will naturally learn to use it well. Aren't you still using my face to trick those women into washing clothes for you?"
Jiang Fang said with a smile: "But haven't you noticed? It seems that the identity of the third prince-in-law is more useful than the eighth prince-in-law.
So since you are so entangled with the Eighth Princess, you should avoid me more or less. After all, I and you are a couple in name only. If someone makes up gossip about me, your status as the Third Prince Consort will be gone."
Duan Jiu looked at Jiang Fang, the emotion in his eyes was unclear. Jiang Fang didn't show any weakness. The two just stared at each other for a long time before Duan Jiu said: "You said yesterday that you and I were just getting married, don't take it seriously."
Jiang Fang was so angry at Duan Jiu that she almost had a myocardial infarction. She smiled politely and put the cake in her hand on the table nearby.
"Yes, but I forgot."
After saying that, Jiang Fang took Banxia and Mongkui out of Wanghua Pavilion. Jiang Fang's face was so dark along the way. Mongkui didn't dare to speak. Banxia asked tentatively: "Princess, where are we going?"
Jiang Fang stopped suddenly. In front of him was the lotus pond that Xiao Niao said. Jiang Fang took a few steps forward. Now there were no lotus flowers in the pond, only some withered lotus pods were left.
Jiang Fang sighed and asked, "Shouldn't I go just now?"
Banxia didn't say anything, but Dong Kui said: "Princess, you still have a heart for your consort, right? You dressed up specially today and changed into your favorite clothes."
Jiang Fang lowered his head and looked at the clothes he was wearing. On weekdays, he wore mallow, autumn sauna and whatever. As long as it wasn't too fancy, Jiang Fang wasn't picky.
But today's clothes were chosen one by one by himself. Even the style of the bun and the beads on his head were all Jiang Fang tried on over and over again.
After seeing Duan Jiu and Xiao Niaonuo watching the fireworks together in Wangjiang Pavilion yesterday, Jiang Fang felt depressed. When they appeared in front of him at the same time, Jiang Fang knew that he liked Duan Jiu.
The suppressed love in his heart suddenly opened the floodgates. Jiang Fang didn't even understand his feelings before.
She only knew that she would feel inexplicably relieved after seeing Duan Jiu, but yesterday she knew that she liked him, but Jiang Fang wanted to give up because everything oppressed him.
After she finally decided that she wanted to enjoy this short-term happiness first, she still couldn't help but feel sad when she saw Duan Jiu and Xiao Niao.
Even if Duan Jiu rejected Xiao Niao Niao's overtures in front of Jiang Fang, Jiang Fang still couldn't help but say a few words in a strange way.
When Duan Jiu said those words, Jiang Fang knew that it was what he said to Duan Jiu yesterday. Maybe he was just speaking out of anger, but he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Jiang Fang stood by the lotus pond for an unknown amount of time. Dong Kui and Banxia followed Jiang Fang, and the three of them stood silently by the lotus pond.
After Jiang Fang left, Duan Jiu closed his eyes. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and his desire to catch up.
It wasn't until the sound of the wind replaced all the sounds, and until Duan Jiu knew that Jiang Fang had gone far, that he slowly opened his eyes. There was nothing in front of him, and there was nothing where Jiang Fang was standing.
Duan Jiu stood in his original position for a long time before slowly turning around. When he saw the brocade box placed by Jiang Fang on the table, he stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the lines on it.
After a while, Duan Jiu opened the brocade box. Inside was a cake, and Jiang Fang drew three chicks on it.
The leading one is larger and has the word "ginger" written on it, while there is a weaker looking chick at the back with Duan Jiu's name written on it.
The first time he saw Jiang Fang making cakes, he remembered the cakes his mother made for him when he was a child. Although the taste was slightly different, eating it always reminded him of his mother.
It turned out that Jiang Fang still remembered what he said casually. Looking at the cake, Duan Jiu's hands trembled slightly.
He had always thought that life would go on like this and that he would grow old slowly in Langtou Village. At first, he was unwilling and unwilling to do so.
But slowly later, he felt the warmth from Jiang Fang. Jiang Fang was the first person who did not treat him as an outsider. She treated him like other relatives.
Although Jiang Fang would still bully him from time to time, whenever something happened, Jiang Fang would use his body to block it.
But now that she is back in the palace, she is already the unattainable third princess. Although she also has the status of the third prince-in-law, Duan Jiu knows that this is just Empress Dowager Jiang's way of stabilizing people's hearts.
Duan Jiu is afraid of losing this identity, but he is also afraid of having this identity. Duan Jiu still cannot guess Jiang Fang's thoughts.
Duan Jiu hesitated for a while and then chased him out. However, when he reached the gate of Jinxiu Palace, Duan Jiu still lost his courage.
He turned around to leave, but saw Jiang Fang who had just returned. Jiang Fang was a little surprised. He wondered if the cold wind had just blown, and he had calmed down now.
After seeing Duan Jiu, she said: "I'm sorry, it was my words that sounded a little harsh."
Duan Jiu didn't expect Jiang Fang to apologize to him. He mustered up the courage to hold Jiang Fang in his arms. At that moment, he could clearly hear Jiang Fang's heartbeat.
