"I'll tie your hair for you."
Si Tu recalled the scene of Jebe braiding her hair in the grassland before, and blurted out.
Ah, curly hair
Why are you still inexplicably a little excited
Zhebe stepped forward awkwardly, showing displeasure on his face, but he sat down in a straight posture early on.
Caressing his temples with fingertips, Si Tu removed those messy gold ornaments.
Picking up the jade comb, he combed the broken hair around his ears, and finally fixed it with a jade hairpin.
"Okay, what do you think?"
Holding the bronze mirror in front of him, Si Tu showed a satisfied smile.
The young man was born extremely beautiful, and the crystal clear jade hairpin made him even more elegant and exquisite.
Glancing at himself in the mirror, Jebe muttered,
"It looks so dull, it doesn't show my temperament at all."
The corner of Si Tu's mouth twitched slightly: What kind of temperament do you have, the temperament of a nouveau riche
Estimating the time, Si Tu returned to Xuanji Pavilion and called Ah Man to dress him up.
"Your Highness cares about His Highness Ninth Highness very much."
Even she could see that His Highness was really moved.
"He is a son-in-law, and my palace will show some concern for him, so the Queen Mother can feel at ease."
Si Tu picked out a flying butterfly golden hairpin, lowered his neck, hiding the bitterness in his eyes.
Comb her hair well, Ah Man looked at the beautiful Si Tu in the bronze mirror, and persuaded,
"Since His Highness has him in mind, it's better to make it clear as soon as possible."
Whether they are tempted or not, these servants can see clearly.
Only His Highness is deceiving himself and others.
"There is no going back between me and him..."
Situ murmured, but Ah Man didn't hear clearly.
Ever since His Highness came back from the frontier, she always felt that she was depressed, as if she was very preoccupied.
After finally meeting someone His Highness likes, Ah Man of course hopes that the two of them will live a good life.
Changing into a red robe with gold silk peony threads and a fish-shaped jade pendant with double rings around his waist, Si Tu walked out of Xuanji Pavilion.
"Where is His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Looking around, Situ didn't even see Zhebe.
"I'm here!"
Jebe poked his head out from a clump of hydrangeas, with a light smile and bright eyes.
Seeing her dressed in red, Jebie felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, but there was a faint pain in his heart.
"It's almost time, and it's time for us to go to the Duke's mansion for a banquet."
Si Tu shook his head slightly, and quickly realized it.
But Zhebe's eyes fell on the jade pendant, looking a little curious,
"Your jade pendant still makes noise when you walk."
Light and crunchy, it is really pleasant.
"Ah Man, bring the other half of this jade pendant."
This is a Pisces jade pendant, originally a pair, but Situ didn't expect that Jebe would be interested in it.
"Is it for me?"
Zhebie pointed to himself, his eyes were like bright stars.
"Since you like it, I'll give it to you."
Si Tu took out the jade pendant from the tray, wrapped it around his waist, and pinned it on his waist.
The smell of styrax filled the tip of his nose, and some pictures flashed in Jebe's mind.
It seems that he also knew a beautiful woman in red dress before.
No, not acquaintances, they were even closer.
Eyes drooping, Jebe's voice was a little confused,
"We..., haven't we met before?"
Si Tu, who was stroking the tassel, paused, and quickly replied,
"How is it possible, I have never been to Jiuli before, maybe His Highness the Ninth Prince admitted a mistake."
Zhebe was persistent, staring at her dodging eyes, as if he wanted to stare her out of a hole,
"But I really think we've met before."
Not just met, otherwise he wouldn't have such a familiar feeling in his heart.
Seeing that Si Tu's face was a little pale, Ah Mo hurried forward and said,
"Your Highness, the banquet is about to begin."
Looking straight into his eyes, Si Tu pretended to be firm, with a fake smile on his face,
"Maybe it's like an old friend of His Highness Ninth Prince."
She even needed a lot of courage before she dared to look at him.
Quickly looking away, Si Tu got into the carriage,
Seeing her leaving figure, Zhebie felt more and more familiar, but she denied her repeatedly, even he was a little shaken.
"Tuo Sahe, did I really not know her before?"
Tuo Sahe has always been by his side, he must know it.
"Before I came to Shangjing, I had never seen her."
Since Si Tu would let Zhebie leave Shangjing in three months, why did he remind Zhebie of this painful memory
It is much happier to forget than to always remember.
The carriage was driving all the way, and Jebe lifted the curtain from time to time to watch the bustling scene outside the car.
"Well, it smells so sweet."
When passing Babao Pavilion, Zhebie couldn't help being attracted by the sweet smell of pastries.
But after a while, the carriage stopped in front of the Duke's Mansion, where almost all the dignitaries in Shangjing gathered.
After all, who would dare to brush off Mrs. Fu's face so easily
Si Tu got out of the carriage and told Ah Meng to say,
"Go to Babao Pavilion to buy some pastries and come back. Buy a little of each and send them back to the Princess Mansion."
Ah Man seemed a little worried, but still beckoned a little maid to serve Si Tu.
"Your Highness, be careful in everything."
Right now, the situation in the previous dynasty is unclear, so one must be careful when going out.
"Understood, don't worry, there is no one in Shangjing who can touch me."
As the third princess with the most beautiful appearance in Shangjing, Si Tu's appearance made everyone hold their breath.
A red robe with a golden embroidered phoenix as the pattern is lifelike as she walks around.
Needless to say, this dress must have been carefully embroidered by the embroiderer of the Shangyi Bureau.
The aristocratic girls had regrets in their eyes, if they could also get a piece of clothing from the Shangyi Bureau, they would be willing to pay a thousand dollars.
Si Tu's arrival made Mrs. Fu's wife, Mrs. Yao, come out to greet him in person.
"Long time no see, His Highness the Third Highness looks more and more beautiful."
The Princess Mansion has never been in contact with Fu Guogong's Mansion, so Yao's enthusiasm this time surprised her a bit.
"By the way, I heard that His Highness is getting married at the beginning of next month. Congratulations."
His Majesty even let Prince Jiuli enter the Princess's Mansion, which is enough to show that Situ is deeply favored by His Majesty.
Everyone congratulated and wanted to see who this third son-in-law was.
After getting off the carriage, Zhebie followed what Aunt Fang taught him to be cautious in his words and deeds, so he put on a straight face.
However, a beauty is a beauty, even with a straight face, she still looks outstanding.
He was used to seeing Jebe's bright and slightly shaky smile, but Si Tu was not used to seeing him with a straight face.
The two walked side by side, facing everyone's eyes.
Feeling his nervousness, Si Tu held his cool palm and said softly,
"Just treat them as a tree and a flower."
"Are you trying to comfort me?"
Jebie tilted his head, his dark eyes were shining brightly, more eye-catching than the plum blossoms in full bloom in the garden.
"That's right."
Infected by his emotions, the corners of Situ's mouth curled up.
"You look beautiful when you smile, you should smile more in the future."
Sullen all day long, with a face full of displeasure, watching him also frown.
