Every time the prince opens his eyes, he sees
Chapter 39: Coveting My Dowry
There was a line of words written on the note: Lu Yaoyao is He Yaoyao.
Su Yuan's pupils dilated and she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
Lu Yaoyao is Xie Qingchen’s dead white moonlight?
how could be?
Could it be that she is also a capturer, from another world?
No, no, if Lu Yaoyao is He Yaoyao, once her identity is revealed in the future, I will have no chance of winning.
I must find a way to kill her before her true identity is exposed, leaving no evidence.
But Xie Qingchen loved her so much, she should have succeeded in conquering him before, so why did he come back again?
Did she have a new target? Gu Huai?
In order to test Lu Yaoyao, the next day, she sent an invitation to the Lu family, inviting Lu Yaoyao to the East Palace for a chat.
She used the name of the Eastern Palace, not her own name, so Lu Yaoyao had to go.
As soon as Lu Yaoyao came in, she saw that there were already quite a few people in the house, all of them were dignitaries and young ladies who were invited to the banquet.
The emperor had granted the marriage, and her marriage to Gu Huai was a foregone conclusion.
These women didn't dare to show her displeasure in public.
But there is a lot of contempt in secret.
Su Yuan stood up, took Lu Yaoyao's hand enthusiastically and said, "You're here. I was thinking about you."
Lu Yaoyao bowed and said, "Greetings, my lady."
"No need to be so formal." Su Yuan said apologetically, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry for offending you before, but I really like that hairpin, so I couldn't bear to give it to you. I specially asked the Treasure Pavilion to send over several batches of new jewelry today. Please take a look and see if there is anything you like. If so, you can pack it up and take it back with you. It will be my apology for that day."
Lu Yaoyao raised her eyebrows slightly. She had not expected Su Yuan to do this. Although she was on guard in her heart, she did not show it on her face. "You are too polite, my beauty. It's just a hairpin. I don't take it seriously. As for the jewelry, I don't accept it without doing anything. Yaoyao appreciates it."
Su Yuan seemed to have expected this, and continued to smile. "Miss Lu is really generous. Although you don't take the incident that day to heart, please pick out a hairpin that you like. Just consider it as a friendship between you and me. Many other ladies have already picked out theirs."
If she doesn't pick, it would seem like she's ungrateful and doesn't give him face.
Lu Yaoyao suppressed the irritation in her heart and bowed again, "Then I will obey your command."
She picked up a rose hairpin at random.
Su Yuan pulled her to sit next to him and chatted with her while drinking tea.
The topics ranged from poetry and songs to the philosophy of life, seemingly harmonious.
However, Lu Yaoyao was keenly aware of the coldness that occasionally flashed in Su Yuan's eyes, which made her more alert.
"Ms. Lu, I heard that you have a very close relationship with General Gu. It's really enviable." Su Yuan suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Gu Huai.
Lu Yaoyao smiled slightly and replied calmly, "General Gu is the best man in the world. It is my blessing to meet him and marry him."
A dark emotion grew in Su Yuan's eyes.
"General Gu is indeed a rare talent, but in my opinion, it is difficult to find anyone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Lu Yaoyao's heart was filled with alarm. Su Yuan seemed to be praising Xie Qingchen, but in fact, she was testing her attitude towards Xie Qingchen.
Did she think she was interested in Xie Qingchen? Or did she suspect something else?
This Su Yuan, she felt she was weird from the beginning, and now she can't hold it back anymore?
She remained calm and responded calmly, "His Royal Highness is undoubtedly noble and unrivaled, but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In my opinion, General Gu is the best man for me."
"That's true."
Su Yuan is now at least certain of one thing, that Lu Yaoyao is not interested in Xie Qingchen.
This means that she is no longer interested in Xie Qingchen.
Very good, next, just need to verify whether she and her are from the same world.
She gave a wink and a maidservant immediately went out.
Soon, the sound of a piano floated in.
She was stunned when she saw Lu Yaoyao.
She pretended not to understand, "The melody of this song is very unique, it doesn't seem to be the style of Dajin."
"It's really something special. Who's playing it?"
Su Yuan smiled and said, "The Crown Prince's Mansion has recently acquired several singing girls. Perhaps one of them can play music from other countries."
"Yeah." Lu Yaoyao sat there without moving, showing no intention of going out to take a look.
The piano music soon died down.
Su Yuan continued to drink tea and chat with everyone as if nothing had happened, and the party ended only when it got dark.
Lu Yaoyao returned to the Lu Mansion and found Gu Huai and others outside the mansion.
"Have you been here for a long time?" Lu Yaoyao still felt a little distressed because it was really cold now.
Gu Huai smiled exceptionally brightly, "I'm fine. I'm happy to be waiting for you. By the way, you went to the Crown Prince's banquet today. Did the Crown Prince's new favorite give you any trouble?"
Lu Yaoyao shook her head. "No, she looked like she wanted to reconcile with me and even gave me a hairpin."
"Can she be so kind?"
Lu Yaoyao burst out laughing, "You think so badly of her? I don't think you've ever had any conflicts!"
Gu Huai said righteously, "The people Yaoyao hates are the people I hate."
"I can't say I hate her!"
I just felt that the woman had the same face as before, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, it's cold outside, come inside."
"Why don't you come in and sit for a while?" Lu Yaoyao looked at him with a smile.
Gu Huai licked his dry lips and said, "Let's wait a little longer. After we get married, I won't have to worry about this anymore."
His sincere look made Lu Yaoyao feel that she was a bad person.
In order to survive, you have to betray someone's sincerity.
She couldn't give him a future.
"It's okay, I'll just break my vow for once. Come in and have some tea before you leave."
Gu Huai couldn't resist the temptation and finally followed her in.
After the two of them entered, the servants in the mansion did not dare to look at them and automatically blocked them.
Lu Yaoyao led him to her boudoir and personally made him a pot of hot tea.
Gu Huai drank tea and looked around.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Yaoyao chuckled.
"Nothing." Gu Huai quickly looked away, but couldn't stop smiling in his eyes.
After guessing too many of Xie Qingchen's difficult-to-guess thoughts, Lu Yaoyao felt that his thoughts were too easy to guess.
But she didn't point it out.
Not pointing it out is the greatest respect for the person who is preparing a surprise.
The two sat quietly, enjoying the rare quiet time.
The moonlight outside the window shines into the room, adding a touch of softness and romance to this warm space.
Suddenly, Gu Huai seemed to remember something, took out an exquisite jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Lu Yaoyao.
"This was given to me by the Emperor the other day. I saw it was in good condition, so I took it. See if you like it."
"How can you give it to me, it's a reward from the Emperor?"
Gu Huai grinned and said, "Why make such a distinction? Once we get married, won't everything that belongs to me be yours?"
Lu Yaoyao joked, "But you are not allowed to covet my dowry."
