"In the end, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated by the cruel Queen Mother. The lovers could only meet on the Magpie Bridge once a year. It is very sad for them."
The storyteller vividly told this folk tale that people never tire of hearing. In the private room on the second floor, Yu Shuyue was resting her chin on her hands in boredom.
She stared blankly at the preserves on the table. She had been coming to this teahouse for three consecutive days to listen to books and drink tea. She had also heard the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl over and over again, and she could memorize the plot of the story.
She asked Zi Wan to find out where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince usually went, so that she could have an accidental encounter, or just take a look from a distance to see if it could make her dream again.
Unfortunately, Qi Xiuyao rarely goes out due to inconvenience in his legs and feet.
Yu Shuyue had no choice. She stayed at home all day and it was easy to think too much, so she came to this teahouse to kill time. At first, she heard that reading was quite interesting, but as time went on, it became boring.
Just when she was bored, she heard the sound of peony twitching behind her, and she turned to look at her in confusion.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Miss, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are so pitiful. They were obviously in love, but they were forcefully separated by the cruel Queen Mother."
Shaoyao had never heard of the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl outside the Great Wall. After all, the Yu family was stationed on the border, which was far away from the main city. There was no romance there, only the shadows of swords, guns, and swords.
So even if my young lady listened to the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl for several days, she would still be so moved by this story that she couldn't help herself.
"Shaoyao, miss, let me ask you a few questions."
Yu Shuyue sat upright and looked at Shaoyao seriously.
"Miss, please tell me." Shaoyao wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands and looked at Yu Shuyue expectantly.
"Will the emperor agree that the princess will marry an ordinary person who only knows how to farm?"
"Miss, you are joking. Ordinary civilians don't even have the chance to meet the princess, so how can they marry her?"
Although the people of Daqi are open-minded, the hierarchy is not very strict.
But such a world of difference in identity and status between a commoner and a princess is absolutely impossible.
Even ordinary families pay attention to being well-matched, let alone royal children.
"Then let me ask you again, if the princess was out for fun, she threw away her attendants and ran to the river to take a bath. At this time, a mountain villager passed by and saw the princess taking a bath. Not only did he not quickly avoid it, but he
He hid aside to peek at the princess taking a bath, and——"
"Rogue! Traitor!"
Before Yu Shuyue finished speaking, Shaoyao was very excited and began to curse.
"Well, continue to listen to me." Yu Shuyue raised her hand to indicate that she should calm down and listen to him first.
"Not only did he hide and watch the princess take a bath, he even had other evil thoughts when he saw her valuable clothes lying aside.
Because it was a wilderness, I was sure that if he took away the clothes, this girl as beautiful as an elf would not be able to leave. Finally, he appeared again to help solve her predicament and made up a random story that a small animal in the mountains had taken away her clothes.
clothes, and he kindly helped her find the clothes."
"This princess was innocent and ignorant of the world. She had no doubt about the credibility of the mountain village man's words, so she was extremely grateful to him. She even developed a secret love for him during the subsequent interactions. When she was finally found by the attendant, she actually
If you want to take this mountain villager back to the capital and ask the emperor to decree a marriage for them, do you think the emperor will agree? Do you think this man is worthy of marrying the princess?"
Yu Shuyue's mouth went dry as she spoke, and after taking a sip of tea, she had time to look at her two maids.
Zi Wan saw her eyes looking towards her and shook her head expressionlessly.
"No, this mountain village man had bad intentions from the beginning. He is just a gangster. How can he be worthy of being with a princess? Such a person should be cut to pieces!"
Shaoyao was particularly excited, but as she was talking, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Hey, miss, isn't what you are talking about similar to the story about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl told by the storyteller outside?"
"You just realized it now."
Even Zi Wan, who usually talks little, couldn't help complaining about her too slow reaction.
"Hey! This story sounds so uncomfortable."
Shaoyao only felt that she was a weak fool who shed tears over the beautiful love between Cowherd and Weaver Girl. If she were the Queen Mother, she would never agree to her daughter abandoning her status as a god to be with such a person.
.
"The two are not exactly the same. I just want to tell you, don't be deceived by a man's mouth at any time. Do you understand?"
"My slave, I will remember this deeply."
Zi Wan and Shaoyao replied in unison. As soon as they finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door, and then the arrogant and domineering voice stopped next door to Yu Shuyue's private room.
"Master, I want this room. Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me? I think you don't want to live anymore."
"Young Master, this room has indeed been reserved by other guests. You..."
"As long as you know who I am, get out of here."
Before the waiter could finish his words, he was kicked aside by the young prince.
"I don't know how to live or die, but the young prince dares to stop me. My prince, I will help you find out who is hiding in this private room without making a sound."
The person next to the young prince held him in a helpless manner, said with a mocking smile, then raised his foot to face the door and kicked it hard.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness──" Originally he kicked the door with a proud face and was already ready to curse.
But who would have thought that the person sitting in the private room was His Royal Highness, and the attendant immediately stuttered.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Qi Xiuyao?
When Yu Shuyue in the room heard the voice of His Royal Highness from outside, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Miss, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Later, Shaoyao also found out that her young lady had sent Zi Wan around to inquire about the prince's movements in the past two days. Although she didn't understand what the young lady wanted to do, she seemed to be in a bad mood after having no news in the past two days.
Next door, she was even more excited than Yu Shuyue.
"Hey, it's the prince. Why do you have the leisure to come to this teahouse today? Could it be that you know that I am coming, so you are specifically trying to trouble me?"
The young prince didn't care about the prince's disobedience. He pushed away the bastard in front of him, stared at the man sitting in the wheelchair in the private room and raised his eyebrows.
Everyone in the capital knew that this prince, who had always been soft-spoken, would act as if he didn't hear or see anyone's provocations and sarcasm, except for King Kang's only precious son, the young prince Qi Jing. This chapter has been completed!
