Jiang Chun listened carefully to the silk shop owner's explanation of which materials were more suitable for babies. You Yuji looked at her concentration and could not help but curl her eyes.
She walked to the other side and looked around.
On a shelf, many exquisite gold locks were neatly arranged. They were not big in size and looked like the safety locks for babies. You Yuji picked one up and looked at it, and found that the carvings on each gold lock were different. There were auspicious patterns such as auspicious clouds, cranes, and safety knots, as well as cute little animals such as little tigers and little white rabbits.
You Yuji was surprised to find that the carving on a small golden lock was a zither. She held the safety lock in her hand and examined it for a while before buying it.
Jiang Chun had already picked out the fabric. He trotted over and took You Yuzhi's hand, and the two of them went to stroll somewhere else.
It was almost noon, Zhao Sheng had some free time, so he came to pick Jiang Chun up. Originally, the two of them were going to eat at a restaurant outside, but Jiang Chun was pregnant and had a picky appetite, so she didn't want to eat outside.
You Yuji stood by the road, smiling as she watched Zhao Sheng carefully help Jiang Chun onto the carriage. Jiang Chun was full of energy, and if Zhao Sheng hadn't been so careful, one wouldn't have known she was pregnant.
"Yuanyuan, let's go. You should go back early too, be careful of the snow." Jiang Chun leaned out of the car window and waved to You Yuzhi.
"Take one of the cloaks in there." Zhao Sheng said.
"Yes, yes." Jiang Chun then remembered that there were some cotton clothes in the box, and immediately took out a thick cotton cloak and handed it to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng turned and walked towards You Yuji, handed her the cloak, and said with a smile: "The Jinnan Palace is far away, and the weather may change on the way. Take Chunniang's cloak in case of emergency."
You Yuji took it and thanked him without hesitation, watching the Zhao family's carriage go away. She turned around and suddenly saw Chen Anzhi and Chen Lingyan in the distance.
Chen Lingyan is discussing marriage recently, and these past two days she has been dragging Chen Anzhi to go out with her to buy this and that.
You Yuji frowned, but the carriage was parked in a place where they couldn't get around the two siblings, so they had to move forward with such an expression. When passing by Chen Anzhi, You Yuji pretended not to see him.
"You Yuji." Chen Anzhi gritted his teeth and called her in a low voice.
You Yuji then stopped, looked over, and said calmly, "Prince."
Chen Anzhi frowned and scolded in a low voice: "How can you be so shameless to seduce her man in front of her handkerchief friend?"
Chen Anzhi glanced at the cloak in You Yuji's arms and sneered, "You actually took the clothes handed to you by Zhao Sheng."
Zhuo Wen placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist with an expressionless face.
You Yuzhi looked at Chen Anzhi quietly as he got furious.
Chen Anzhi was most annoyed by her calm and composed appearance that never got angry. He whispered, "Send someone to send her back!"
You Yuji then looked at the cloak hanging in her arms. Jiang Chun liked red clothes, and this cloak was no exception. Except for the snow-white fur on the hood and the edge of the collar, the rest of the cloak was bright red.
In front of Chen Anzhi, You Yuzhi shook off her cloak, threw it aside, and put it on.
Chen Anzhi took a step back in a hurry, but was still unable to avoid being hit by the corner of his cloak on the back of his hand. He didn't know what hard silver ornament hit the back of his hand, but he immediately felt a pain, causing him to shrink his fingers.
You Yuji fastened the silver buckle on her collar and continued walking forward as she passed by Chen Anzhi.
"You!" Chen Anzhi stared at You Yuji's back angrily. The cool breeze blew her cloak backwards, as if mocking him.
In the distance, Qi Mingcheng watched this scene and laughed.
"Chen Anzhi, you've also been turned down by women." Qi Mingcheng felt a little pleased. He had been feeling a bit depressed for more than a year.
The subordinates standing outside the car had been worried for a long time. After hearing Qi Mingcheng's hearty laughter, they dared to speak weakly: "My Lord, that woman is not easy to deal with..."
Qi Mingcheng glanced over coldly, and his subordinate immediately stopped talking.
Qi Mingcheng sneered, "Go to the Jinnan Palace to deliver the invitation. Last time, I was inappropriate in my words. Two days later, I will personally go to the palace with the princess to apologize to Prince An."
He said words of apology but there was a malicious smile on his face.
You Yuji had lunch at a restaurant outside before returning to the Jinnan Palace. When she returned, Si Que was playing the piano. She could not help but keep silent, not letting the maid follow her in to serve, and walked lightly into the small room alone to change her clothes.
The sound of the piano came into her ears, and You Yuji listened and knew it was another new song.
Perhaps because she was very sensitive to music, You Yuji remembered it after listening to it once. When she came out after changing her clothes, she sat on the beauty couch and listened to the piano music quietly.
When the song ended, Si Que looked up at You Yuji. He saw her lying on the small table on the beauty couch, writing something quickly.
"What is sister writing?" Although Si Que had difficulty walking, he still sat behind the piano and looked at You Yuzhi from afar.
"Write down the song you just played." You Yuji raised her eyes and looked over. "What's the name of this song?"
"I don't have a name. I'll just give it to you at random."
You Yuji frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't think of a good name. She simply turned to the next page and wrote down the two songs that Si Que had improvised last time.
She leaned over and blew the ink on the paper, waiting for it to dry before she closed the book with a smile. She looked at the blank cover, pondered for a moment, and wrote down the three words "Collected Sounds".
Si Que pushed the wheelchair out from behind the piano platform, stopped at the three-legged wooden frame next to the beauty couch, and picked up the safety lock on it.
He had discovered it when You Yuji had just placed the small golden lock here. He stroked the pattern on the small golden lock with his fingertips and smiled brightly when he looked at You Yuji.
"Sister, you prepared this for our child."
You Yuji had just put down her pen, turned her head and looked over, denying, "No."
She stood up and immediately walked to the other side of the cabinet, squatting in front of the low cabinet, looking for something in the drawer. She did not see Si Que's gloomy face behind her.
Si Que stared at You Yuzhi's back, and gradually exerted force with his hand holding the small golden lock, as if if he exerted more force, the small golden lock would turn to ashes.
When You Yuji turned around and walked over, he put away his anger in time and slowly loosened his clenched hands. He casually placed the small golden lock on the couch and lowered his long eyelashes to hide his anger.
You Yuji brought a pair of scissors and a ball of red rope and sat sideways on the beauty couch. She picked up the scissors and cut the thin gold chain with force, and the small gold lock tied to it slipped off and fell on the beauty couch.
Si Que raised his eyes and watched You Yuji thread the small safety lock into the red string. Then she looked over and smiled at Si Que, with a gentle and warm smile at the end of her smile.
You Yuji stood up, walked behind Si Que, and passed the red rope with the safety lock around Si Que's neck. Si Que watched the swaying little gold lock gradually move down and stick to his chest.
The next moment, You Yuji's slender hand slid over his shoulder and around in front of him, holding the safety lock and adjusting the length of the red rope, then cut the red rope with scissors and tied a tight knot.
She put her hands on Si Que's shoulders, leaned down, with her chin almost touching Si Que's shoulder, and lowered her eyes to look at the safety lock hanging in front of him.
"Do you like it?" Her soft voice was heard, and ripples appeared in the warm spring stream.
Si Que raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said with disdain, "This is a toy for a one-month-old baby."
You Yuji stood up and walked around to Si Que, bent down in front of him, moved the safety lock into Si Que's lapel and put it away, saying softly: "The blessings are the same."
Si Que glanced at You Yuji, then lowered his eyes to look at his collar.
He never liked gold ornaments, especially in the past when he had to wear a princess's palace dress during festivals, and the heavy gold ornaments made him sick.
His slender fingers lifted the red string and pulled out the safety lock hidden in his lapel. He glanced at the small golden lock that was swaying on the red string and stared at it for a while.
Well, the gold one doesn’t seem that ugly.
"Sister." He smiled lightly, his eyelashes coated with a layer of obedience, "I like it very much. Gold jewelry is the best quality jewelry."
Two days later in the afternoon, You Yuzhi snuggled up to Si Que and was about to fall asleep.
Zhenxu knocked on the door and came in. He looked at the two people leaning on the bed strangely, and then said, "Madam, the prince is here."
You Yuji was about to fall asleep, she was very sleepy, she didn't even open her eyes, she whispered tiredly: "You said I fell asleep and chased me away."
The pillow retreated. Not long after, she came back to report: "Madam, King Kangjing and his wife are coming. They will be here in about an hour. The prince said you have to go over."
You Yuji hummed lazily. She was already very sleepy and didn't know if she heard clearly or not.
Zhenxu raised her head and saw You Yuji turned over and Si Que was covering her with a blanket. Zhenxu turned away hastily, not daring to look any further, and left immediately.
You Yuji woke up after sleeping for less than half an hour. She stood up and got out of bed, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Si Que. She turned her head and saw Si Que's frustration.
"Sister, you have to accompany the prince to entertain the guests."
You Yuji's voice softened: "Prince Kang Jing and the princess are coming together, so I should go over there. But I will find an excuse and come back soon."
She smiled and said, "I promised to accompany you to see the winter chrysanthemums this afternoon."
Only then did Si Que smile obediently.
When You Yuji turned around, Si Que immediately stopped smiling, picked up Baisui who was sleeping in the corner of the bed, and threw it high into the air. Baisui was startled in his sleep, kicked his legs in the air, and landed steadily on all four paws with a somersault. He tilted his little head and looked at Si Que in confusion.
Si Que was not looking at it, but muttered to himself slowly: "Who the hell is King Kang Jing, how dare he let my Yuan Yuan receive him?"
Just as You Yuji had promised Si Que, she went to the flower hall to meet Qi Mingcheng and his wife, exchanged a few polite words, and then excused herself from having a headache and wanted to leave.
Chen Anzhi wished she would leave quickly to avoid Qi Mingcheng staring at her.
Qi Mingcheng sent a note the day before to apologize, but when he arrived, he never mentioned what happened that day, and his tone was as arrogant as usual when he chatted casually.
Chen Anzhi could not help but feel unhappy. He glanced at Qi Mingcheng's wife Feng Zhen inadvertently, was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked away.
Qi Mingcheng took this scene in and sneered silently. After a moment, he said, "I heard that your mansion's plum forest has many varieties and is very beautiful. Why don't you wait for me to take a look?"
Feng Zhen immediately said, "You guys go, I won't go with you."
Chen Anzhi and Qi Mingcheng arrived at the plum forest and walked up to the viewing pavilion to look at the sea of plums. Qi Mingcheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the purple voice, and smiled: "Prince An, it is your wife who is admiring the winter chrysanthemums, right? It seems that the headache is gone."
Chen Anzhi looked over and saw not only You Yuji, but also Si Que. Si Que was sitting in a wheelchair. You Yuji had kept Si Que's fall a secret, so Chen Anzhi didn't know that Si Que had broken his leg. Anyway, Si Que was weak and had occasionally sat in a wheelchair before.
Qi Mingcheng glanced at Chen Anzhi and saw him staring at the person in the wheelchair in a daze. He couldn't help but take a closer look.
After a long while, Qi Mingcheng said meaningfully: "No wonder Prince An would rather anger His Majesty than take Princess Siguoque back to his palace."
Chen Anyi was stunned and looked at Qi Mingcheng.
The next moment, his face darkened.
—As a man, he immediately understood the look Qi Mingcheng gave Si Que.
In Qi Mingcheng's original plan, he would bring his wife to visit today. According to etiquette, Chen Anzhiyi would need to bring You Yuji to return the gift, and that would be the time for him to take action.
But now, he has fallen in love with another woman of Chen Anzhi.
The author has something to say: Qi Mingcheng: You never thought that I would fall in love with this little princess.
