After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 93

Yi Xiaowei looked across the lake, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't we go and take a look quietly."

The companion called Lao Chu hesitated and said, "That's not good. If the inspector finds out that we were peeping at his women, won't he break our legs?"

"You are stupid. You said you went there quietly. How could the governor find out? Besides, we didn't go close to the yard. We could just take a look outside the door. The governor's brother is praising the lady to the sky. Aren't you curious?" Yi Xiaowei slapped him.

Old Chu hissed in pain and touched his shoulder, saying, "I'm naturally curious, but what excuse can I find to get out?"

Yi Xiaowei stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "This is indeed a problem, but it doesn't matter. We can slowly look for opportunities."

Then they turned around and ate the food on the table with their companions, exclaiming in admiration.

At this moment, Ye Yunzhou walked in. Seeing Ye Yunzhou coming in, Ye Yi hurriedly greeted him: "Prince."

Ye Yunzhou nodded, then handed him a box. "Take this across the street and give it to Miss Luo. Tell her this is a welcome gift from me."

Ye Yi took the gift and was a little surprised for a moment.

His own prince clearly didn't like that cousin Miss Luo very much, so why would he suddenly send her a gift? However, he immediately realized that the Marquis must have discussed this with the prince today, and the prince finally understood.

This was good too. They would meet each other every day in the future. It was also a good thing that his own prince could resolve his emotional knot. He didn't say much and took the box and walked towards the opposite side.

Yi Xiaowei noticed that after the supervisor talked to Ye Tou for a few words, he handed something to Ye Tou, and then Ye Tou walked outside.

His shoulder bumped into Old Chu, who was stuffing food into his mouth. Sensing the movement, he followed his gaze and saw Ye Tou walking out. He immediately understood what Yi Xiaowei meant and nodded.

Then, the two stood up, and when they saw that Ye Yunzhou didn't notice them, they quietly slipped out.

The two followed Ye Yi all the way to the yard where the female guest was. After seeing Ye Yi walk into the yard, the two hid behind a tree outside the yard and looked inside.

Ye Yi walked towards the yard with the box in his hand.

Lu Zhaozhao was chatting with the ladies when she saw a tall man approaching the courtyard. She narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering: Who is this? Why is he in the ladies' quarters?

She made up an excuse to deal with the noble lady she was talking to, and when no one was paying attention, she walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

At this moment, Ye Yi was walking into the courtyard when he saw a beautiful and dignified woman walking towards him. He took a few steps forward and was about to ask, but the woman spoke first: "Sir, there are only women here. I wonder what brings you here?"

Ye Yi looked up at her, then immediately lowered his brows and said, "Miss, how are you? My master is Ye Yunzhou, the heir of the Marquis's Mansion. He asked me to deliver a gift to Miss Luo. I wonder who you are?"

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, she remembered Ye Yunzhou's cold attitude towards her and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She avoided Ye Yi's question and changed the subject, saying, "Since you've already delivered it here, I'll accept it first. This courtyard is full of female guests, and it's not convenient for you to go in, so just hand it over to me now."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand in front of Ye Yi.

Ye Yi didn't think much of it, only silently sighing in his heart that he was so lucky to have run into Miss Luo in person as soon as he entered the courtyard. It was indeed inconvenient for him to enter the place where the female guests were, so it would be a good idea to give it to her at this time, so he handed the box in his hand to Lu Zhaozhao.

Lu Zhaozhao took the box with both hands and held it tightly in her hands, her expression still as gentle as before. She said softly, "Then tell my brother that I really like this gift."

Ye Yi felt that his mission had been completed, so he bowed to her and then turned and left.

Lu Zhaozhao watched Ye Yi's back gradually disappear into the distance, then gently opened the box in her hand and glanced inside. She saw a red gold and kingfisher-inlaid Ruyi hairpin lying quietly in the box.

You know, kingfisher feathers are not something that ordinary people can own, only the nobles in the palace can get them. She picked up the hairpin and took a look at it. She saw the words "Imperial Gift" written in an inconspicuous place at the end of the hairpin.

Her eyes flickered slightly. She had never expected that the gift Ye Yunzhou gave to Luo Shuiyao was actually a gift from the palace. She put the hairpin back into the box, feeling even more angry. She didn't dare to damage the gift from the emperor, but just held the box tighter.

Luo Shuiyao finally managed to get away from the ladies' enthusiastic conversation and walked out of the building. Who would have thought that as soon as she left the building, she saw Ye Yi handing something to Lu Zhaozhao.

She watched this scene expressionlessly, feeling the chill in her heart grow stronger. She never imagined that even after all her efforts to please Ye Yunzhou, she still couldn't influence him in the slightest. This Lu Zhaozhao still received Ye Yunzhou's care.

Since that's the case, it seems there's no need to feign complacency with him in the future. As long as he doesn't deliberately provoke him, Kyoto is so big that it won't be easy for them to meet. So be it. After all, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, his wife, and Ye Yunxing all have a good impression of him, which should be enough to change his predetermined fate.

After figuring it out, the last trace of unhappiness in her heart completely dissipated, and her face returned to its usual calmness and indifference.

In the yard, Lu Zhaozhao gently inserted the exquisite kingfisher hairpin into her hair. In an instant, the hairpin sparkled with charming brilliance under the sunlight, attracting the exclamations of the noble ladies around her.

She looked up and saw Luo Shuiyao walking towards her. Lu Zhaozhao gently adjusted the hairpins on her temples, her posture elegant and somewhat proud.

She raised her voice and casually revealed, "This is a gift from my eldest brother. It's said to be a gift from the palace. Look, does it fit me?"

Su Yu'an, daughter of the Minister of Works, touched the gold hairpin in her hair. Although it was a gift from the palace, it was incomparable to the kingfisher-feathered hairpin. Although it was also a gift from the emperor, the gold hairpin was more common and not as precious as the kingfisher-feathered hairpin.

She saw Luo Shuiyao coming and said enviously, "Sister Lu got the royal jadeite gift from Prince Ye. I guess Sister Luo got it too, right?" Then she looked towards Luo Shuiyao.

Luo Shuiyao walked up to them and stopped, looking at her calmly without a trace of other emotions.

The other noble ladies followed her gaze and looked towards Luo Shuiyao.
