Mingzhu felt that Zhao Shi's temper had become better and better recently.
She still refused to live in the palace. She stayed in the mansion outside the palace and lived a leisurely life. I have been thinking about how to play all day long, and recently I fell in love with dressing up as a man and running around.
Mingzhu always likes to go to the academy, sometimes by herself, and sometimes Zhao Xin will follow her to sneak a few more glances at her fiancé.
Mingzhu felt that the princess liked her fiancé very much, but she was unwilling to admit it.
Mingzhu just smiled: "If you like him, you don't have to be ashamed."
Zhao Xin coyly said, "I don't particularly like him. He doesn't even look at me, so I want to support him."
The young man's family was ordinary, with good conduct and outstanding appearance. I heard that the matchmaker who came to him earlier had already crossed the threshold of his family.
He does have some aloof confidence.
Mingzhu said: "You haven't met him a few times, how do you know he looks at you seriously? Since he wants to marry you, he must like you."
Zhao Xin didn't have any confidence. She lowered her slightly red face and said a little shyly: "Really? But he is so cold to me and doesn't take the initiative to talk to me."
"Maybe he's shy."
"Ouch." After Zhao Xin finished talking about her own affairs, she remembered to ask her, "Sister-in-law, why do you like to run to the academy?"
Zhao Xin spoke straightforwardly and continued: "Brother said you love reading."
Mingzhu was a little angry and retorted in a low voice: "I don't like reading."
She explained seriously: "I'm just good at reading."
The two people stood outside the academy, which was really eye-catching. Especially when they dress up as men, they can be seen through at a glance.
The book boy guarding the gate of the academy looked at the two familiar people and was quite speechless.
Two pretty little girls come to the academy to peek at men every now and then.
It is disgraceful and disgraceful.
The book boy stepped forward and was about to chase people away. After school, students came out one after another.
Mingzhu saw Wei Chiyu again. He obviously saw her too. He walked towards her slowly, glanced at her dress up and down, and smiled slightly: "They pretend to look alike."
Mingzhu touched her face and asked in understanding: "Where does it look like?"
Wei Chiyu said: "It's too raw and tender."
Girls all love beauty, and Mingzhushe smeared her face into disgrace.
When Zhao Xin saw Wei Chiyu, she became vigilant and immediately pulled Mingzhu behind her, "Why are you here, Mr. Wei?"
Wei Chi said calmly: "Come and teach sir."
Zhao Xin had no objection to Wei Chiyu, but now that she was on her brother's side, she was afraid that their old relationship would rekindle, "I see."
Wei Chiyu asked Mingzhu: "Have you eaten yet?"
Mingzhu shook her head: "No."
Zhao Xin was quick to speak and lied with her eyes closed: "We have already eaten."
Wei Chiyu suppressed his smile and said, "I'll treat you to a meal."
Zhao Xin, facing a formidable enemy, immediately refused on behalf of Mingzhu: "I'll use it. Thank you Master Wei for your kindness."
After saying this, she grabbed Mingzhu's hand and led her out of the room.
Wei Chiyu looked at the backs of the two people and was silent for a moment.
Zhao Xin took Mingzhu far away and gradually lowered her guard. After hesitating for a while, she still couldn't help but want to ask: "Zhuzhu, did you come to the academy to see Mr. Wei?"
Mingzhu shook her head: "Yes."
Zhao Xin was dubious: "Does Mr. Wei still have feelings for you..."
Mingzhu smiled softly, rolled her eyes and said decisively, "No."
She raised her face, looking blankly at the sky in the distance. Her voice was calm and calm: "It's all in the past. He should only think of me as his sister now."
Zhao Xintan laughed: "That's fine."
Mingzhu also said: "Yes."
"Master Wei will also be able to find a good man in the future."
"you're right."
…
On Mingzhu's birthday, Wei Chiyu's cousin handed him a birthday gift.
Mingzhu didn't know about this at first, but Zhao Shi had detained the gift box in advance. Inside the box lay a bracelet made of red rope and jade beads.
The beads are clean in color and are rare treasures.
Zhao Shiduo glanced at it twice, then closed the box and said calmly: "Send it over."
Zhao Shi had never had such good patience and was willing to wait long enough for Mingzhu to gradually treat Wei Chiyu as an ordinary friend.
Although I still feel a little sore inside, I can still bear it.
Mingzhu's birthday was not organized with much fanfare, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was a rare opportunity to please the Crown Princess. Everyone in the family who could talk to the Crown Princess took the initiative to send birthday gifts.
If the princess is happy, the prince will naturally be happy too.
If you can show your face in front of the Crown Princess, you will definitely be remembered by the Crown Princess. After all, it is a business that is sure to make money and lose money.
Mingzhu's birthday has never been so lively. A steady stream of things were carried into her yard. The girl's family, who had only met once, sent people to carry expensive gifts.
The one who takes the person is short-handed and the one who eats the person is soft-mouthed.
Besides, these things are rare and valuable items, and she is a little afraid to accept them.
Zhao Shi was satisfied, glanced at the items displayed in the yard, and said, "A few of them are indeed worth some money."
Guess they have a look.
Mingzhu said: "I know the goods."
Zhao Shi explained to her one by one that the South China Sea coral stones, palm-sized luminous pearls, and countless silks and satins were all dazzling.
After he finished speaking to her, he asked his servants to carry all the things to her warehouse.
"They want to please you, please accept it."
"Since I am trying to please them, if they ask me for help in the future, will I help or not?"
"It's still up to you."
Mingzhu was not interested in those treasures, so the bracelet sent by Wei Chiyu was mixed into the gift and carried into the warehouse together.
She felt bored, so she went to the palace to find Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin was banned from the palace for several days and was almost suffocated. When someone comes to play with her, she smiles wider than anyone else.
Mingzhu was very curious: "Princess, why are you grounded?"
Zhao Xin grinded her teeth hard, and her teeth itched with hatred when she thought about it: "I hit my fiancé on the green plum."
"Why did you hit her?"
"She provoked me." Zhao Xin suffered several losses in front of the weak and elegant girl, but Her Highness the Princess never tolerated being angry, so she immediately got angry and slapped the girl.
Her father found out about this and punished her not to go out for a few days.
Zhao Xin said bitterly: "When I can get out, I must let everyone know her true face."
Mingzhu didn't say anything to persuade her. The princess had a good personality and was very kind. If her bottom line was not touched, she would be so angry.
Zhao Xin scolded her for a long time, and her mouth was dry. She looked up and found that it was already dark. She took Mingzhu's arm and let her go, saying, "You can sleep with me today."
Mingzhu had no objection: "Okay."
Zhao Shi stayed alone in the empty room all night, so he still had a gloomy face when he went to pick him up the next day.
Zhao Xin was bold: "Brother, why are you looking at me with such a cold face?"
Zhao Shi sneered lightly: "Nothing, I just feel that the number of days you have been detained is a little short. Don't worry, I will go and tell my father soon and ask her to lock you up for a few more days."
