Seeing Sima Yixuan and Cong Yi'er coming down from the pavilion together, Die Run was a little stunned. His first reaction was, how did Cong Yi'er come to Zuihua Tower? Even Gannan and Ganbei couldn't take her easily.
How did she come back? Could it be that Sima Yixuan brought her back? Facing this girl, Sima Yixuan obviously became much gentler, always with a smile on his face. In the dusk, again
When I see Cong Yi'er once, she always gives people a clean and comfortable feeling. Her eyes are clear and pure, without any impurities. She looks around calmly, without fear or worry, even without joy or sorrow, without desire.
"Miss Cong?" Dierun said softly, her voice sounded sweet and gentle.
Cong Yi'er smiled softly, and Dierun's heart trembled. Cong Yi'er's smile looked pure and calm. No matter Cong Yi'er faced the supreme Prince Xuan, or she was an ordinary brothel girl, she always behaved so peacefully.
.
Gannan and Ganbei were also stunned. They didn't see Cong Yi'er leaving the sedan, so how could he suddenly appear here? They had followed Cong Mansion quietly and watched the sedan enter the yard! Cong Yi'er was
Where did it come from?
"Miss Cong, where did you come from?" Gan Bei couldn't help but ask.
Cong Yier smiled softly and said: "I have been asked this question many times today. I walked down from the top properly, not from nowhere. You two are really interesting, why do you have to follow me quietly?
I followed you behind the soft sedan for a while, but you all only paid attention to the soft sedan and not to me."
Gan Nan and Gan Bei glanced at each other, their faces turned red, and they did not dare to look at Sima Yixuan. As the two most capable guards around Sima Yixuan, they did not know that Cong Yi'er, who did not know martial arts, was following behind.
, very embarrassing. However, they did not seem to notice that Cong Yi'er was following behind, because they did not see Cong Yi'er get off the soft sedan at all.
Die Run poured a glass of water for Cong Yi'er, smiled and said softly: "Miss Cong, please have a drink of water. Were you the one who played the flute just now? It sounds really nice."
Cong Yi'er reached out to take the tea. Die Run took a step forward. Suddenly, the corner of her skirt was caught by the corner of the table and she fell forward. Cong Yi'er didn't react in a hurry, and the tea spilled all over her body.
He reached out to help Dierun, "Are you okay?"
Dierun took Cong Yier's hand, stood firm, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was Dierun who accidentally soiled your clothes. Dierun will change you into clean clothes right now."
"Okay, it's okay. It's just some tea, just dry it up." Cong Yi'er said with a smile, "Are you okay? You have to be careful. It's getting late and your vision will be a little blurry. Are you hurt?"
Dierun shook his head, "It's okay. It's Dierun's fault for worrying Miss Cong. Zuihua is really full of distinguished guests today, including a prince and the future second princess. Dierun is really flattered."
Cong Yier smiled faintly and said, "Miss Dierun, the future second princess is my sister Cong Xiai, not me. This joke is boring."
"This is something that everyone in the Daxing Dynasty knows. Sister and Cong are the future candidates for the second princess. I don't know how many rich ladies are envious of them." Dierun said softly.
Cong Yier smiled, looked at the gradually darkening sky, changed the subject, and said lightly: "It seems that the sky is getting a little cloudy again, Sima Yixuan, if you are interested, go for a walk and have a good meal at Yinxiang Tower
If you are full, you should go out and digest what you have eaten."
Sima Yixuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but did not object. He smiled heartily and said, "Okay, where are you going?"
Cong Yi'er looked at herself, smiled slightly, and said, "If I go out like this right now, maybe the Daxing Dynasty will be full of gossip tomorrow. Can you let me change my appearance to avoid unnecessary troubles?"
"Do you want to dress up in men's clothing?" Sima Yixuan asked with a smile, sizing up the quiet and delicate Cong Yi'er. With his fair skin, delicate eyebrows, and elegant temperament, if he dressed up in men's clothing, he might really be a handsome young man.
Cong Yi'er shook her head and said: "No, if I dress up as a man, I will either be your attendant or your friend. Does Prince Xuan have any friends? It seems that apart from being a beauty, you don't have any friends of the opposite sex, so that counts.
Okay. I want to pretend to be a maid. It's easier to go out this way. I'm a woman, so I don't need to be too deliberate in my words and actions. And when I'm with you as a maid, others won't do what they think.
how?"
Sima Yixuan smiled slightly and said, "That's a good idea. Do you still need to change your clothes?"
"Of course." Cong Yi'er chuckled and said, "This dress must be very expensive. It is not an exaggeration for a maid next to the prince to wear better clothes, but wearing such clothes, I am afraid it is a bit conspicuous.
, and, my family has seen me wearing this outfit, so it would be better to change into something simple, find something plain, and dress up like a maid, which would be more comfortable."
Sima Yixuan nodded and said, "That makes sense. Die Run, go pick out clothes for Yi'er and take care of her to change into them. Gan Nan, go prepare the carriage."
In Prince Cong's Mansion, Cong Xiai sat alone under the lamp, looking at Xiao Qing opposite him and looking at the gifts on the table. He didn't say a word for a long time. He sent Sima Rong away and avoided his parents. It was rare for him to be alone.
Stay quiet for a while.
She asked the girl with her to find Xiao Qing, the girl who had been taking care of Cong Yi'er. She watched Xiao Qing standing in front of her quietly, with her head lowered and silent. She seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time before she slowly said
: "Xiaoqing, has anything different happened to your lady during this time?"
Xiaoqing lowered her head, listened to her own heartbeat, and said cautiously: "She doesn't seem to be any different, but I haven't seen her staying in the house in the past few days."
Cong Xiai took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Xiaoqing, you are not allowed to tell lies in front of me. I only like to hear the truth. Tell me what happened and why Cong Yi suddenly
It’s like he’s a different person, his words, deeds, and behavior have completely changed?”
Xiaoqing said in a low voice: "Xiaoqing doesn't dare to deceive the eldest lady. Nothing happened to my lady. If there is any change, the only change is that my lady suddenly doesn't want to marry the second prince. I want to express my gratitude.
Cancel this marriage."
Cong Xiai looked at Xiaoqing quietly, sliding her fingers slowly on the cup, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she continued: "How long has she been with Prince Xuan?"
Xiaoqing raised her eyes and glanced at Cong Xiai, and immediately said: "This servant really doesn't know. I don't know that my young lady and Prince Xuan are together. How can they be together?"
Cong Xiai's face darkened and she said coldly: "If I knew, do I still need to ask you? A slave can't even look down on his own master. If word gets out, people will definitely look at our Cong Mansion.
A joke!”
Xiao Qing immediately lowered her head and said softly: "It was my fault. I know my mistake."
Cong Xiai paused and said, "Well, for a person with Cong Yi'er's character, the people under his command will not be much better. This is a gift from your lady. Just look at this gift.
She and Prince Xuan must be familiar with each other. Only Prince Xuan can get the kind of rouge I like from Zuihua Tower. Only Dierun in Zuihua Tower can make this kind of rouge. No matter how arrogant she is, Cong Yi'er,
It is impossible for him to have such ability."
Xiao Qing didn't know what to say, so she had to stay silent and lowered her head. She heard Cong Xiai sigh softly, "Why doesn't he want to be the emperor? Why did the fortune teller say that I must marry and become the emperor?"
People? Get down!"
Xiaoqing left in a hurry as if she was forgiven, not daring to look back. She knew that Cong Xiai seemed gentle and peaceful on the surface, but in fact, if she became powerful, she would be very scary.
Cong Xiai gently opened the rouge box on the table and looked at the delicate rouge inside, looking a little dazed and dazed.
"Sima Yixuan, why did you give Cong Xiai rouge?" Cong Yi'er sat on the horse and asked curiously, "Is the rouge expensive?"
"That's unique to Zuihualou," Sima Yixuan said with a smile, "and it's made by Dierun himself and can't be bought anywhere else."
"Then with Cong Xiai's intelligence, she will definitely guess right away that the rouge is actually a gift from you." Cong Yi'er smiled slightly and teased, "Sima Yixuan, it's not good to use me like this. I'm the only one who can pass information through me.
There is a fee.”
Sima Yixuan looked at the rolled up car curtains, smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the wind, and the slightest hint of drizzle coming at any time, and seemed to say unintentionally: "If she knows, that's what I want, she
If you know that the rouge is from me, I won't embarrass you easily."
Cong Yi'er smiled softly and said, "Sima Yixuan, it's really hard for you to have such thoughts. By the way, can you answer me a question, does my sister like you?"
Sima Yixuan quietly looked at the dusk outside the car, sighed lightly, and said: "Your sister is very thoughtful, and she is incomparable to you. Whether you like her or not is not that important."
"Then do you like her?" Cong Yier asked curiously.
Sima Yixuan looked back at Cong Yi'er, smiled and said, "There seems to be no woman in the Daxing Dynasty who can put my eyes on her."
Cong Yier nodded slightly and said, "You are really crazy."
Sima Yixuan laughed and said: "Cong Yi'er, you are the first person in the Daxing Dynasty who dares to talk to me in such a tone, but I like it. I feel very comfortable when facing you. You really don't have to be crazy.
, you dare to call me by my name so openly, even my parents have never called me that, but when you call it from your mouth, it sounds so pleasant to my ears."
Cong Yier smiled lightly and said, "Is it because of this that you notice me? Is it because I am different from the women around you that arouses your curiosity?"
