Xi Zhuoyu didn't think for long before stuffing the barking puppy into the arms of the guard captain You Wu. "You wait here with the dog. Someone might come to look for you later. If no one comes after half an hour, you can take the dog back to the palace."
You Wu: “…Huh?” I’m the captain of your personal guard! You want me to wait here with a dog
Seeing the deputy captain helping the prince limp away, You Wu held a dog and took a deep breath. This is the night of the Ghost Festival! Just leaving him here alone
"Brother in front, can you see a puppy?" Hearing the faint female voice coming from behind, You Wu's tiger body shook, and he exerted force on his hand, and the puppy immediately let out a fierce howl.
"Oh! It's really osmanthus cake!" The faint female voice suddenly became lively. You Wu saw two women with their heads shrunk running towards him with surprise on their faces, staring at the puppy in his hands.
When Jiang Yuchao returned to the yard and was reminded that the osmanthus cake was not found, she pointed to the two maids who were responsible for taking care of the dog without hesitation and said, "Go to where I was just now and see if the osmanthus cake is still there. If not, come back."
So the two maids went out together to look for the dog again.
The two parties exchanged the osmanthus cakes in silence. You Wu and the two maids were both hesitant to speak. Finally, one of the maids couldn't help but asked quietly, "Brother, which prefecture are you from?"
They guessed that their master was in love, and seeing the smile on his face, it was the first time they had seen it. Although it was not glorious to find a lover, as servants, they had no right to interfere in their master's affairs. They should first find out who the other party was, so that they could have a better understanding of him. Maybe they would have to interact with him in the future.
That’s what the two servants thought, and coincidentally, Youwu thought the same.
He also lowered his voice and answered: "I am the guard of Yuling Palace."
Yuling Palace! The two servants covered their mouths to suppress their exclamations. That was Yuling Palace! Yuling Prince, the most handsome man in Luodu, was said to be too beautiful to look down on any woman. He had not yet married a princess. He was a legendary figure among countless girls and ladies. Look at those arrogant young ladies of noble birth. Most of them wanted to be the princess of Yu, but how many of them dared to covet Yuling Prince? Such a person actually had an affair with their master!
The two servants have now conceded that what happened just now was a tryst under the moon. They even suspect that their master was divorced by Prince Yu because he discovered the affair between their master and Prince Yuling. And the reason why their master did not live in the Prime Minister's Mansion but instead lived in the deserted Mingyue Pavilion can be explained. It was for a tryst with Prince Yuling!
The case has been solved, and everything has been explained. I am convinced, the master is awesome.
You Wu did not understand the shock and awe in the eyes of the two servants. He also wanted to know who could have a secret meeting with his dog-loving prince under the moonlight, so he inquired, "I wonder if the one who was with my master just now is your lady? Which mansion are you from?"
"We are from the Xiangguo Mansion, and our master is the Third Miss of the Xiangguo Mansion."
You Wu: "Oh, it turns out to be the third lady of the Xiangfu... Um, the third lady of the Xiangfu?" Isn't that the former Princess Yu? The story of Prince Yu and Princess Yu was widely spread, and he had talked about it with his brothers in private, and discussed whether Prince Yu was capable.
Who would have thought that the master's hobby was so special that he liked married women. You Wu returned to the palace with a complicated expression, and found his brothers to warn them privately, "Don't talk about Prince Yu and Princess Yu anymore, especially in front of the master, otherwise the master might get angry."
The guards of Yuling Palace were puzzled: "Ah, why not? Although our prince is the cousin of Prince Yu, he has no relationship with him."
You Wu: Tsk, our prince has no friendship with Prince Yu, but he has a secret affair with Princess Yu. You don’t understand at all.
He gathered his brothers in a circle and explained to them in a low voice: "Our master and the former Princess Yu met at Mingyue Temple at dark. I saw them sitting alone and talking in a low voice. I stood far away and heard the master laugh several times. He also gave her a dog as a gift."
Oh my god! The master only brings dogs back to the mansion and rarely sends them out. It seems that he really loves them. Everyone looked at each other in surprise and eager gossip.
…
Jiang Yuchao was in a good mood for several days after meeting her idol. The servants serving in the courtyard all noticed it. The servants who saw her and Xi Zhuoyu sitting and talking together that day all understood their situation. The master was happy to meet her lover. Her eyes were shining and her face was rosy.
The two servants who raised the dog, one named Shuangyan and the other named Xiangpei, told several servants they were familiar with about Prince Yuling. Then all the servants who served Jiang Yuchao personally in the entire yard knew about it. Some believed it, while others did not.
Lan Qiao didn't quite believe it. She always wanted to ask, but was afraid of angering her master, so she kept looking for opportunities to ask indirectly.
She carried the sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Jiang Yuchao and said to her with a smile, "My lady, you are such a big eater of sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Look, it has gained weight in the past two days. But this guy likes to run around. He almost got lost last time. Fortunately, he was found."
Jiang Yuchao picked up the osmanthus cake and stroked the round, furry and chubby dog. After knowing that the dog was raised by her idol, her attitude towards the osmanthus cake became much better these days. She often let people hold it to her for her to smell. This dog that sucks the idol's breath is equivalent to sucking the idol itself, which is just some consolation.
Lan Qiao: "I heard that Prince Yuling also likes dogs and has many of them in his palace." She secretly glanced at her master's expression.
Jiang Yuchao held the osmanthus cake and suddenly sighed.
Lan Qiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw her suddenly look melancholy. No way, the master just heard the name of Yuling King, and her reaction was so obvious? Was this obvious melancholy what the book said, "One day without seeing you feels like three years"
In fact, Jiang Yuchao is really worried. She felt bad when she thought that Shao Yuan was gone from this world, but now she knows that Shao Yuan is still here, she still feels bad. Although she couldn't see him in the original world, she could raise him online through Weibo and various pictures and videos, but what about now? There is not even a recent photo. How can she live like this
She looked at Lan Qiao beside her and suddenly said, "Do you know King Yuling? Tell me about him." She could only get through the days without idols by asking about their news.
Lan Qiao never expected it to turn out like this. She didn’t know much, just what everyone knew. “Uh, Prince Yuling, he, he’s very handsome…”
Jiang Yuchao: "What do you mean by good-looking? He has a divine face. When Nuwa created humans, the others were just casually thrown, but he was carefully carved, different from ordinary people."
Lan Qiao: “???”
Jiang Yuchao: "He is not only good-looking, but also very polite. He is considerate of others and respectful. He is a very comfortable person. He will not pretend to know something he does not understand. He will ask for advice humbly and learn seriously. He likes dogs the most. Because he had no one to accompany him when he was a child, a big dog at home accompanied him through his childhood. Later, when the dog died, he was sad for a long time. He still remembers the dog's death anniversary every year. When he grew up, he was too busy to keep a dog. He has a nice voice but sings out of tune. He can cook, especially tomato scrambled eggs and egg fried rice, but he doesn't like eggs because he ate too much when he was a child. He likes potatoes the most, and he likes stewing them with a lot of meat..."
Lan Qiao: "…" What's going on? What am I doing? Why does the master know so much? I don't know, I know nothing.
She only knew that her master and Prince Yuling had an affair, and this was a confirmed fact. Knowing so many details and preferences, who would believe that they didn't have an intimate relationship
Jiang Yuchao paused and sighed, "I wonder how he is now." He fell before, so his leg should be fine now, right? At that time, he was so excited that he didn't pay much attention to it.
Lan Qiao looked at her master who was worried about her lover with heartache, and gritted her teeth, "Master! Don't worry, I will keep it a secret! If you want to see him, I will send you a letter!"
Jiang Yuchao was stunned. Meeting? Yes, but it's not necessary. Which idol and fans often meet? Fans should stay away from the idol's life. This is the long-term solution.
"It's not necessary to meet him. I want to give him a gift." She comforted her idol's legs, thanked him for the dog, and the fans made regular offerings. In the past, she could send gifts directly to the company, so she often sent small gifts and cards. Although she didn't know if they would reach him, it was still a token of her love.
Lan Qiao patted her chest and said, "Master, please leave it to me. I will be careful and not be discovered!" She felt like a matchmaker with a secret love affair and was a little excited.
Jiang Yuchao nodded approvingly, "Very good." After all, times have changed, and giving gifts is not as legal and convenient as before. Although friends can give gifts to each other, it is still better to be careful.
"Then what do you want to give me, master?" Lan Qiao asked excitedly.
"Send cloth." Jiang Yuchao said.
When giving a gift, you should give the recipient what he or she likes.
This is quite funny. She has liked Xi Shaoyuan for a long time. She is considered to be his earliest fan. When he was not famous, his dressing taste was hard to describe. He especially liked to wear those patterned clothes, bright red, purple and green, which were very eye-catching. When he smiled, he looked like the stupid son of a landlord. Later, when he became famous and had his own team, he started to wear simple clothes and a refreshing style. But in an early interview, he said that he liked those flowery clothes.
Later, when he became famous, Jiang Yuchao noticed several times during fan interviews and fan welfare videos that her husband had a floral shirt underneath his simple jacket. Although only the collar was exposed and it was hidden under the jacket, it was still discovered. There was even one time when he was participating in a show and his movements were a bit exaggerated, a little bit of the edge of his underwear was exposed, which was also floral.
Oh my god, this little hobby is so cute.
I want to buy him lots of beautiful flowery clothes so that he can wear them to his heart's content.
"Bring the money, let's go to the cloth shop to look at the cloth." Jiang Yuchao rarely went out, so she took a few maids to the cloth shop. Except for Lan Qiao, everyone else thought she was going to make clothes for them.
When he arrived at the cloth shop, Jiang Yuchao discovered that there were an unusually large number of cloths of various patterns.
"Madam, look, this brocade from the south of the Yangtze River is King Yuling's favorite cloth. I wonder how many young ladies and ladies like to use it!" The waiter introduced enthusiastically.
Idols can always set trends wherever they are. Jiang Yuchao was proud of it, but she waved her hand, "No need to introduce, I'll see for myself."
Are you kidding? Is there anyone here who knows what types of patterns and colors idols like better than her
Maple leaf red with golden melon yellow flower pattern, vine purple mallow red peony pink three flower pattern, hibiscus purple large flower marigold yellow pattern, royal blue with silver flower, these are his absolute favorites. Although he can't wear such clothes, but his previous profile pictures and Weibo pictures, the occasional pictures of curtains and carpets at home, the matching scarves, and the outer packaging of some products he once praised, if you pay attention, you will find that his preferences can actually be summarized into a few classic color combinations.
When leaving with the selected cloth, Jiang Yuchao heard several other girls who were buying cloth whispering, "Prince Yuling should like this," and "I also want to wear the clothes he likes. Maybe he will look at me more next time we meet."
Jiang Yuchao glanced at the cloth in their hands and smiled. Sorry, Ah Zai, he doesn't like this shit green color the most.
After parking the carriage near the Yuling Palace, Lan Qiao was a little nervous, "Master, shall I go and deliver your gift?"
Jiang Yuchao looked at the towering gate and hesitated again. This didn't seem to be a good idea.
"Forget it, let's go back first," she said.
Lan Qiao was inexplicably disappointed: "Ah? You spent so much time choosing, you're not sending it to me?"
Jiang Yuchao smiled slightly: "No, it's not a good idea to ask you to go, it's more legitimate to ask... my brother to go."
The author has something to say: Later, everyone knew that they were having an affair, except the two parties involved.
