Until he got in the carriage and accidentally saw the eldest princess appearing in the carriage, he still vaguely had that handful of peony flowers in full bloom, which was unstoppable in his mind.
The woman actually sent flowers to her husband...
send flowers
That has always been a way for men to please women. This method is commonplace and nothing new. Today's women will not be surprised by this behavior.
But, for men
Unbelievable.
Obviously it is ridiculous.
But…
It is undeniable that a bouquet of flowers, held by an imperial lady, suddenly appeared in front of her, and it seemed to hear her heart beating for a moment—not immediately, but an indescribable shock and...satisfaction.
The satisfaction of being cherished.
He frowned fiercely, and heard the eldest princess' inquiry:
"How is it, Mi Xin? Did you gain anything?"
After thinking about it, she added softly:
"I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Ye Mixin raised her eyes in a daze, and her lips couldn't help but pursed even tighter when she met the eldest imperial daughter's delicate face.
—Yes, this is normal.
As a princess, being able to make an exception and wait for a man is already a great favor.
The eldest empress is the future empress, but she treats him kindly, and even listens to his advice on certain things... He should be very satisfied with this.
The third princess is no match for the eldest princess.
He despised her.
Ye Mixin's eyes flickered, and he said in a warm voice: "Your Highness, Mr. Ci Jing... It seems that he is very kind to His Highness." His voice suddenly fell into a trance, "Actually, from Mi Xin's point of view, they are together..."
The gorgeous flower flashed in his mind again, and what he wanted to say "very good match" suddenly got stuck in his throat, making him frown imperceptibly.
"absurd!"
The sharp scolding sound pulled him back to his sanity, the young man raised his head and saw the eldest princess's face sinking, "Mi Xin, I know that you don't want to pretend to cater to the third imperial sister, but the overall situation is at stake, so you can't bear it? "
This is how women value men. In the eyes of the eldest princess, he is an indispensable part.
This is the best a man can get.
To be able to find the best wife-lord and to be appreciated by the other party is what he wants.
Moreover, it is not a purely cold marriage. He and the eldest princess do have a crush on each other. Whether it is more or less, there is always something.
With his pride, for so many years, only a woman like the eldest princess can catch his eyes.
... Obviously so.
But he suddenly remembered that beside the bouquet of peonies just now, the noble princess was smiling sweetly, her every move was gentle and meticulous, and she even called herself "I"...
Rather than "solitary".
What went wrong
Ye Mixin frowned fiercely.
... That's all. He shouldn't think about that kind of idiot.
He smiled slowly, nodded to the eldest princess, and said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry... Mixin will do his best to complete the plan and solve His Highness's worries and problems."
The eldest princess stared at him for a few seconds, the corners of her lips finally relaxed, she was silent for a while, and softened her tone: "Alright, Mi Xin, let's go back home with Gu tonight."
The Eldest Empress is not like the Third Empress, who is a woman of color, it's just a matter of custom, and now she specially invites him to the house, and she is taking the initiative to give him a chance to please. This is also an expression of women's respect for men.
The reason burned by the peony color returned to the brain in an instant. Looking at the high-spirited woman in front of him, who can be called a dragon and phoenix among men, Ye Mixin said warmly:
"Listen to Your Highness."
