"Ah Yue, yesterday was your birthday. I originally promised to come here to accompany you, but I let you go because of something unexpected. It's my fault. Hey, this is a late birthday gift. This is my apology."
Yu Shuyue felt a little disappointed when her friend failed to come yesterday, but she didn't take it to heart.
Liu Ruoxi came to apologize to her early this morning with gifts. Yu Shuyue deliberately wanted to tease her and waited for her comfort with a straight face.
"Well, it was my sister who was wrong. Sister Ah Yue, just forgive her once. I promise there will never be a next time!"
Liu Ruoxi held her arms with both hands and shook her arms coquettishly.
Yu Shuyue was not angry in the first place, but when she was teased like this, her deliberately stern face could no longer hold back. She finally smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not angry at all."
"I knew Ah Yue was the best."
Liu Ruoxi also knew that she was not really angry, so she deliberately made an exaggerated expression of relief, making her laugh from ear to ear.
"By the way, Ah Yue, have you figured out where to go today? I was busy with the Liu family a few days ago, and I haven't gone out on the street with you for a long time."
Although Liu Ruoxi has been living with her father outside the Great Wall, the roots of their Liu family are actually in the capital.
It was just that her father was forced to leave the capital and never came back for twenty years.
Now that they are back, and dad is still favored by the emperor, the rest of the Liu family cannot sit still.
Now there are only her and her father in the Liu family. Her father is often on duty, so those people come to her place every once in a while to make their presence felt. Liu Ruoxi has not come to see Yu Shuyue for half a month since she finished dealing with these matters.
"There is a lake in Shangjing City called Fuxian Lake. The mountains between the lake are beautiful and there are many lotus flowers in the lake. It is the season when the lotus flowers are in bloom. Do you want to go with us today?"
Yu Shuyue also didn't go out for a while, mainly because the weather was getting hotter and she felt a little lazy.
Now when she goes out, she also wants to go to some place where she can escape the summer heat.
"Miss, Miss Gu and His Royal Highness are here. They are in the front hall at this time."
But before Liu Ruoxi could answer, she heard a servant coming to report that Gu Jingyan and Qi Xiuyao had arrived.
Yu Shuyue had no choice but to take Liu Ruoxi to the front hall together.
"Jingyan, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Yu Shuyue brought Liu Ruoxi to the front hall and found that her brother was also there.
"I went to Dingzhou to do some business a few days ago. When I came back, I found out that yesterday was Ah Yue's birthday. This red coral tree was a gift I brought back from Dingzhou for you. Now it's just a birthday gift."
The coral tree in front of her was particularly beautiful, and Yu Shuyue fell in love with it at first sight.
"Thank you Jingyan. Ah Yue likes her very much. Oh, by the way, I haven't had time to introduce you yet. This is my good friend Liu Ruoxi. Ruoxi is the Jingyan I mentioned to you before."
For some reason, Liu Ruoxi didn't like Gu Jingyan very much the first time she saw her.
No, it should be said that she already disliked her before meeting her.
She heard the name Gu Jingyan many times from her friends' mouths. Every time she mentioned her, her friends sounded like they were very good friends.
This made Liu Ruoxi a little jealous.
Now that she saw how close the two of them were, jealousy rose in her heart. Yu Shuyue had been outside the Great Wall for more than ten years, and she had always been the only close friend around her.
Now that there was suddenly such a person, Liu Ruoxi felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face. When she heard Yu Shuyue's introduction, she greeted him with a smile.
However, Gu Jingyan was such a perceptive person that he immediately noticed her subtle hostility towards him.
Although there was hostility, she didn't see any malice and she didn't take it to heart.
Besides, this person was also a good friend of her future cousin-in-law. She couldn't embarrass Ah Yue, so she greeted Liu Ruoxi with a smile.
"By the way, Ah Yue, my cousin and I came here today to invite you to enjoy the lotus flowers at Fuxian Lake. Are you interested?"
Gu Jingyan just returned to the capital yesterday evening. She had a hard time traveling and traveling, so she originally wanted to have a good rest at home.
But she just came back and immediately became her cousin's best tool for dating his sweetheart.
My cousin has not had a romantic interest in her for twenty years, and my grandfather was so worried that he wanted to marry her to his cousin so that he could take care of him.
However, Gu Jingyan has loved Qi Xiuyao as a brother since she was a child, and asking her to marry her cousin really made things difficult for her.
So now that her cousin has found someone he is attracted to, of course she has no obligation to help him. Otherwise, if his wife runs away, she is really afraid that her grandfather will send her to her cousin.
After hearing her words, Yu Shuyue smiled and glanced at Liu Ruoxi, "Ruoxi and I just said we would go to Fuxian Lake together, but unexpectedly, by coincidence, Jingyan and I thought of going together."
"That's great. It would be more fun to enjoy the flowers together if there are more people."
Among the five people present, only Liu Ruoxi felt slightly unhappy.
But she couldn't help it. One of them was the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, and the other was the current prince.
What right does she, the daughter of a fourth-rank official, have to say no to them?
However, although she was a little unhappy, she was able to be with the Yu family brothers and sisters, especially Yu Hengyue. She had been in the capital for so long, and she had never had the opportunity to stay with him for so long.
The girl Huaichun, her resistance to Gu Jingyan gradually faded away, mainly because her energy was no longer on her.
But she didn't expect that this time when we went to enjoy the flowers together, she left with high expectations, but in the end it ended up being heartbreaking. This chapter has been completed!
