Nongzhu wanted to destroy the relationship between the young lady and the Fourteenth Prince, and said: "Miss, haven't you seen it yet? Miss Luomei just gave the prince a gift, and the prince accepted it happily. In other words, the prince hinted to the Su family that he
Accept her, after all she is from the Su family."
Zhu Ying frowned even more tightly and said, "What do you mean?"
It wasn't that she couldn't think of it, she just didn't let herself think about it on that level. In her heart, she rejected Zhao Yu as a person who would do anything to achieve his goals.
Nongzhu said: "The prince wants to win over the Su family and accumulate strength in the shortest time. The fastest and best way is to marry."
Zhu Ying didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Zhao Yu could be so superficial. But Nongzhu's words were not unreasonable. Looking at Su Luotao's arrogant look, it was clear that Zhao Yu had allowed her something, and she couldn't help but waver in her heart. She was right about Zhao Yu.
view.
My steps became heavier and heavier, and I really wanted to walk away.
Su Huan had been paying attention to Zhu Ying the whole time, and his father's instructions were still in his ears. When he saw that Zhu Ying had fallen behind, he thought she was too tired to keep up with the team, so he said to the boy next to him: "Bring the kettle?"
The boy immediately handed over the kettle. He took the kettle and turned around to come to Zhu Ying. He lowered his body and gave the kettle to her. The spring breeze blew on his face and said, "Miss Su, are you thirsty? Can you drink some sugar cane water?"
"
Zhu Ying was not polite and picked up the kettle and drank a few sips. The sugar cane water had been iced and was refreshing to relieve the heat. She handed the sugar cane water to Nong Zhu.
The sun in July was so fierce that it baked everything on the earth lifeless. Zhu Ying covered the sun with her hands. She already regretted it so much that she shouldn't have been brave just now.
She is not a delicate woman. She and her master climbed mountains and waded in rivers in search of rare elixirs, and experienced all kinds of hardships. But who would object to a comfortable way to travel?
Zhu Ying wanted to tell Su Heng that she regretted it and wanted to ride in the carriage, but she couldn't save her face and couldn't say it out.
She could only pretend to be coquettish and wipe the sweat with her sleeves, gasping for air, hoping that Su Heng would ask her to ride in the carriage again. But Su Heng was also sincere. When he saw Zhu Ying's little face that was red from the sun, he was angry.
He was panting and worried that she would have a heat stroke, so he took out a folding fan and opened it over her head, fanning her gently to help her get rid of the heat.
Zhu Ying rolled her eyes, this man didn't understand a woman's thoughts at all.
Su Heng didn't think too much about doing this. Firstly, it was out of a man's natural protectiveness towards a weak woman. Secondly, because she could cure her cousin's strange disease. She was an honored guest of their Su family and should have been treated as such.
It was really unfair to treat her politely but let her pretend to be a servant. Thirdly, she was the Fourteenth Prince's after all. The Prince looked at her differently and couldn't offend her, so he gave her extra special care.
Zhu Ying smiled at him, and the smile at the corners of her eyes and mouth made her radiant.
"Master Su, aren't you afraid of others gossiping?" Zhu Ying teased Su Heng.
Only then did Su Huan realize that his behavior at this moment was indeed overstepping the mark and had already aroused strange looks from the servants. He blushed in embarrassment and wanted to retract his arm.
Zhu Ying smiled sweetly and said, "Why are you so pedantic? Fan me to cool yourself down, or I won't treat your cousin!"
"This -" Su Huan was a little embarrassed. The prince had her at the forefront of his heart, so what he was doing at the moment wasn't... He looked at Zhao Yu's carriage in front of him, and his eyes happened to meet Ding Yi's. Sure enough, Ding Yi's eyes
There was a strong warning in his eyes.
Su Heng wanted to take back the fan, but Zhu Ying grabbed her sleeve. She deliberately threatened, "Don't stop, or I will be angry."
Su Heng was in a dilemma at this moment, and he was in a state of confusion, blaming himself for being too careless in doing things.
Ding Yi didn't want his master to let go of Zhu Ying just like that. Zhu Ying was an indispensable part of his master's great achievements. He wanted his master to recognize his own heart and realize that he couldn't let go of Zhu Ying freely. Then the master would be desperate
Keep her by your side.
He said with emotion: "Master, you are really right: Su Huan, a weak scholar, is really not simple!"
Zhao Yu understood clearly and knew that Ding Yi would not say that for no reason, but he did not answer.
Ding Yi continued: "It's rare to find such a considerate and considerate person. If I were a girl ()."
I would want such a person to be my husband."
Now Zhao Yu was no longer calm. He lifted the curtain and looked back. He saw Zhu Ying holding one of Su Heng's sleeves above his head, and grabbing the fan in his hand with the other hand. Zhu Ying slightly
She raised her head and smiled coquettishly at him.
From his angle, Zhao Yu could only see Zhu Ying's beautiful smile. The two of them were like a pair of affectionate lovers flirting, and he could not see Su Heng's unnaturally embarrassed expression.
Ding Yi glanced at his master, whose face turned dark, and continued to strike.
"What a beautiful couple, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Mr. Su is really a thoughtful person."
Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
The undisguised anger in his body made the coachman break into a cold sweat, and he quickly stopped the carriage. The carriage behind him was caught off guard and almost hit him. Fortunately, the carriages moved slowly and did not cause chaos.
Su Heng saw Zhao Yu's carriage stopped and wanted to step forward to ask, but Zhu Ying held on to his sleeve. She was using Su Heng to piss off Zhao Yu, but she didn't know it.
Su Heng knew that both of them were angry, so he said helplessly: "Miss Zhu, what do you need from Xiaosheng to see the prince?"
Zhu Ying said: "If you have anything to ask, he is tired. If something really happened, Ding Yi would have been here long ago."
"This -" Su Heng was very embarrassed, but he couldn't just pull back his sleeves, so he could only stay in place.
The current situation between the two of them was a bit ambiguous, which was criticized under the existing ethical system of the Great Liang Kingdom, so Zhu Ying stopped teasing him, loosened his sleeves and took away the fan in his hand.
Fanned.
Zhu Ying didn't know much about calligraphy and painting, but she thought the bamboo forest on the fan was somewhat similar to the bamboo forest in Su Luomei's yard, so she couldn't help but take it in her hand and look at it a few more times.
"Did you draw this?"
Su Huan did not expect that his painting skills would be praised by a beautiful girl, and he was a little flattered.
"You're just a young man. If you don't draw well, it's hard for you to be elegant."
Zhu Ying said: "No, I like it very much, give it to me!"
Su Heng said: "Since the girl likes it, take it!"
Zhao Yuyungong heard their conversation clearly and couldn't help but sneer. While he was still there, she started exchanging gifts with other men and didn't take him seriously at all. It was really hateful.
Zhao Yu was so angry that he seemed to have forgotten that it was he who drove Zhu Ying away, and the two of them were now ordinary people.
Zhao Yu covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and Ding Yi understood what his master meant. He knew that he was the only one who suffered along the way. He pinched the horse's belly, and the horse trotted to a stop in front of Su Huan and Zhu Ying.
Nongzhu looked at Ding Yi with a bad face and shouted: "What are you doing here?"
She classified everyone around Zhao Yu as evil people.
Although Nongzhu was not in a state of embarrassment, his face was covered in sweat, shiny and red from the sun. Ding Yi turned over and got off the horse, putting the reins into her hand. Nongzhu looked at him warily and asked:
"do what?"
Ding Yi ignored her, as if she no longer existed after giving her the reins. His eyes turned to Su Huan, then to Zhu Ying, and then back to Su Huan.
Huan's eyes were full of warning.
Zhu Ying accepted Ding Yi's scrutiny calmly. After all, Su Huan was the son of a famous family. He had been taught Confucianism since he was a child and was deeply influenced by the idea of men and women not being intimate. A look of shame immediately appeared on his face.
Ding Yi then said calmly: "Master Su, the prince said that he is tired and needs to take a rest."
Su Huan hurriedly gave the order. The servants were still a little confused about the situation. They looked at each other and wondered whether it was better to sit down and rest or stand and rest? It seemed that they had not walked for an hour since they set off and were about to rest?
How long will it take to reach Biancheng with this walking method?
The general in charge of the escort was also confused. He did not dare to ask the Fourteenth Prince, so he rode up to Su Huan and asked, "Master Su, why did it stop?"
Su Huan didn't know how to answer, and his eyes drifted to Ding Yi. Ding Yi said slowly: "The prince suddenly feels unwell. Mr. Su, do you have a doctor to take a look at the prince?"
().
As he spoke, his eyes moved towards Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying looked aside and pretended not to hear.
Su Huan naturally understood what Ding Yi meant and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. This time I got a maid. She has good medical skills and specializes in treating my cousin. My cousin has nothing to do now, so I asked her to help the prince take a look."
Then, he turned to Zhu Ying and said, "Qinglian, you and Lord Ding go there. The prince is not feeling well, so you will wait on the side."
Zhu Ying's dissatisfied expression was fixed on her face. She made the reservation for her without even asking her. She decided to refuse, but then she thought about it. She was the newly purchased maid of Shangshu Mansion. How could any maid defy her master in public?
Ordered? I'm afraid she couldn't hide her identity if she started making trouble here. She still wanted to stay in Bian Cheng for a while, but it was better not to expose her identity, so she had no choice but to follow Ding Yi reluctantly.
Nongzhu looked at the horse she was holding in her hand. Regardless of whether Ding Yi left it to her intentionally or forgot to take it away, she didn't intend to wrong herself anymore, so she turned over and jumped on the horse's back.
The moment Zhu Ying got into the carriage, she really felt what a world of difference it was. The outside of the carriage was as hot as a stove, but the inside of the carriage was very cool. There was a large basin of ice cubes in the corner of the carriage, and there was soda on top of the ice cubes.
The plate of lychees given by Luotao is the difference between little people and big people.
Zhao Yu felt distressed the moment he saw her getting into the carriage. Her fair face was now red from the sun. She was covered in sweat, and her hair was sticky to her neck with sweat. But when he thought of her and Su
Heng's intimate behavior made him angry.
Zhao Yu took out his handkerchief, dipped it in some ice and said angrily: "Wipe it!"
Zhu Ying didn't appreciate it either, and asked politely: "My lord, please stretch out your hand, and I will take your pulse, little lady!"
Zhao Yu also knew that she was losing her temper and said, "Sit down, it's hot outside!"
Zhu Ying said, "If the prince is in good health, I will take my leave."
With that said, he was about to lift the curtain and get out of the car. Zhao Yu said angrily: "Why are you so anxious to get out of the car? Are you afraid that Su Heng will misunderstand?"
Zhu Ying was so angry that she yelled, "Yes, I'll go find Su Heng right now!"
Zhao Yu also lost his temper and secretly gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you!"
Zhu Ying has always been a pragmatic person, but she refused to show weakness in front of Zhao Yu. She was about to get off the carriage without looking back but was pulled back by Zhao Yu.
Zhu Ying unexpectedly fell into Zhao Yu's arms, shaking the carriage and startling everyone outside.
Ding Yi reminded him softly: "Master, Miss Zhu, too much movement will arouse suspicion from outsiders!".
