My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.
Chapter 10 Ease
The next morning, Zhijuan dressed her up and put on a princess's standard dress with wide sleeves and a big skirt. She was really not used to it. She loved riding and shooting, and often stayed in the northwest, so her dress was specially made so as not to hinder her movements.
Her hair was combed in the most popular style of the time, with all her hairpins, rings and jade pendants still intact. However, her complexion did look much better after this combing of her hair.
To prevent her mother from getting worried when she saw her, she also packed up with Zhijuan and Zhiyan. It was only today that she found out that Zhiyan was an expert at dressing up. Her sister-in-law gave it to her specially, but she had been bedridden for some time and had no chance to show off.
Zhijuan manages the household, Zhiyan takes care of people, the sister-in-law is really thoughtful.
"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful."
Pretty. It was the first time someone praised her for her pretty looks. She was tall and different from the other gentle women. "My two sisters are here."
"Sister-in-law, did you buy this hairpin at Linglang Pavilion?"
She didn't understand these things, they were all bought for her by her mother and sister-in-law. Seeing Zhijuan nod, she said, "I just happen to have a few new hairpins here. If you two sisters like them, go pick one and wear it!"
The two of them were obviously stunned for a moment, and then happily followed the cigarette.
The two of them made their choice in a short while, and walked up to her happily, even their tone became more sincere, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I like it very much."
She looked at the hairpins on their heads. Sure enough, Yu Rao was wearing that gorgeous hairpin. She understood that Madam He loved her youngest son, and she was a bit domineering towards her granddaughter. She smiled and nodded, "As long as you like it, let's go out! Don't keep grandma waiting anxiously."
Su Muxi was supported by two people and walked out. As soon as she walked out of Fangfei Courtyard, she ran into Xiao Yunjin who was waiting on the side.
Yuting and Yurao let go of her arms and greeted him. She finally reacted and nodded, "Prince."
After that day, he returned to his study and recalled the past. He was already thirteen years old at that time, and living in the palace, how could he be naive? He just wanted to take advantage of that innocent little girl to win the favor of the Duke of Zhenguo.
But the granting of marriage caught him off guard. How could the emperor tolerate the Prince of Huaiyang who had his own army? He was just a target. He was crowned king at the age of thirteen, and the only civil official among his relatives who could be used was the Marquis of Yong'an. Even if he had no intention of competing for the throne, who would believe it?
The other princes regarded him as a thorn in their eyes and assassinations never ceased. After finally getting married, he used a trick to keep the princess in the capital as a hostage. He went to the battlefield, thinking that life would be better. However, the Prince of Huaiyang was not someone who could be easily dealt with. He was just jumping from a dragon's den into a tiger's den, seeking the skin of the tiger.
Meeting her in the peach forest in April was also his plan. He had just escaped back to Beijing at that time. He Yuncheng had suffered for him and was still seriously injured. He only wanted revenge, and the memories of their past together were used as bait to lure her into the trap.
When I become a general leading an army, I will snatch you away and set you free, okay? At that time, he thought this was just her words of comfort, but now she brought it back to his mind. It turned out that he had never forgotten it.
He took advantage of her sincerity and pulled her into this vortex. He wanted to let go, but couldn't. He walked slowly towards her, becoming more and more determined with each step. Then he grabbed her hand, and his wavering heart finally settled down at this moment. "Why are your hands so cold? Are you still not well?"
His sudden movement startled her. She wanted to hide, but he held her tighter. She couldn't stand his burning gaze and could only lower her head in a coquettish manner, "Prince, the two sisters are still here!"
"We are all family, what are you afraid of? Your clothes are complicated, let me support you a little so that you don't trip again."
Yu Rao said from behind: "Brother has taken over the work of my and Seventh Sister as soon as he arrived. I think we should go find Grandma first! Otherwise, we won't even have a carriage to ride in the future."
"Good sister, please stop talking! My sister-in-law is blushing."
It was just two hairpins that won over the two men, and he even took the opportunity to tease her. She lowered her head, pretending not to hear him, and just walked forward. The presence of that hand was too strong, and she was afraid that the words she blurted out that night would backfire, and she was even more afraid that he would think too much and not let her go.
He supported me all the way and put me on the carriage.
The two sisters also looked at each other and went to other carriages.
Once the curtains were closed, the space was cramped and filled with his scent. Su Muxi felt very uncomfortable. Seeing that he was about to hold her hand, she hurriedly dodged and casually changed the subject, "Is the prince's injury better?"
"Has Madam ever felt distressed?" Xiao Yunjin did not retreat but moved forward and sat in a row with her.
Their breaths intertwined, and the ambiguous atmosphere made her feel particularly uncomfortable, so she had to change the subject, "I wonder if there are still peaches in the peach forest now."
Noticing her evasion, Xiao Yunjin confirmed a fact: this person really treated him as a substitute. This could also explain why she didn't get jealous but beat him with a stick after learning that he had met Jiang Wanning.
He continued with her words, "But it's just the beginning of autumn, I think we can still eat some late peaches. I'll send someone to the peach forest to take a look when we get back home."
"I would like to go by myself. I have been sick for a few days and I am bored staying at home."
"Then take care of it for two days, and then I'll go with you."
"Okay." Su Muxi didn't know that she had accidentally dispelled Xiao Yunjin's suspicion of her. She just felt that the more he tried to please her, the more afraid she became. She was afraid of being too deeply involved and having a hard time getting out of it in the future.
