The Royal’s Cute Little Wife – C29 – Handkerchief
Two people walked over from the distance. One of them was dressed in a beautiful purple brocade brocade dress. He was around twenty years old. His appearance was handsome and condescending. He was indeed the current crown prince, Yan Tao.
As he walked, he asked the people beside him, “Have you found out who it was?”
The person beside him acknowledged, but his tone did not fluctuate at all. “It’s Third Brother.”
The Crown Prince smiled, lowered his sleeve to cover the wound on his wrist, and continued to walk forward.
After leaving the palace, they encountered an ambush. More than a dozen Death Soldiers rushed out from all directions, each and every one of them trying to take his life.
It was probably because he was too carefree in the palace that third brother could not bear it any longer and wanted his life so badly.
He tilted his head, deep in thought. “What does Sixth Brother think about this?”
The person he called “Sixth Brother” was a fifteen year old youth. He had delicate facial features, like a sculptor, and was extraordinarily handsome.
He had been tanned a little in the past few years, and his skin was a light wheat color. He had lost the tender and delicate spirit of his childhood, and looked even more valiant and spirited.
He had grown taller since last year, and now he was only a little lower than Yan Tao.
He was the Sixth Prince, Yan Yu.
Yan Yu was silent for a moment before he analyzed calmly, “Third Brother is too rash, so there is no need to be afraid of him.”
Just like what the Crown Prince thought, Yan Tao smiled and patted his shoulder, but didn’t say anything.
His sixth brother had been brought back from the common folk only nine years ago. When he had just entered the palace, he had been acting as if he was a complete and reckless person. He never expected that in just a few years, he had become a completely different person.
It was like a completely different person. You could no longer see the childish shadow of him.
This was a good thing, otherwise he would not have been able to survive in the palace.
As he was speaking, he saw a person wearing a white cape walking out from the main courtyard of was intrigued. “I just happened to …”
Before she could finish, Ling Xiangyun froze, staring straight ahead.
Xie Ying followed her line of sight, and was stunned when she saw Xie Zhen snuggling on the pillars and taking a nap.
If one were to say that a girl was the national color of the Heaven Fragrant Sky, it was possible that the person in front of them. People who saw her would immediately understand the meaning behind it.
Xie Zhen’s cheeks were pink, and her lips were slightly parted, like two bright blossoms of peach blossoms, delicate and beautiful.
A strand of hair fell from her ears and covered her small face. It was as if the wind was blowing as she stroked her smooth face again and again.
People would be a little envious of her hair and wanted to replace it and test how smooth and tender her face was.
When she heard movement, her long eyelashes trembled as she slowly opened them. A pair of hazy watery eyes gazed at the approaching person.
At first, she was a little confused, but when she saw who it was, she cutely called out: “Third Sister, Fourth Sister.”
Her voice was soft, with the accent of someone who had just woken up. It tickled the ears of those who heard it.
The others were stunned by what they saw. It turned out that the beauty was so beautiful when she woke up. Even though they were also women, they still felt her heart move.
Xie Ying’s expression was a little unsightly. She forced a smile, “Isn’t Fifth Sister sick? Why are you here?”
She stood up and rubbed her eyes. “I remembered something and came over to wait for Third Sister.”
Xie Ying didn’t understand. What could have happened?
Shuang Yu had just returned from the Jade Hall’s Courtyard. She was carrying a long-sleeved blouse in her hands while the two maidservants behind her were carrying a stove. They rushed over quickly and finally made it.
Shuang Yu came up to her. “Here’s the clothes, miss.”
Xie Zhen didn’t take it. Instead, she asked her to deliver it to Xie Ying.
Xie Ying didn’t react. “What does this mean?”
Xie Zhen looked at Xie Yin, who suddenly had a bad premonition. Sure enough, she said, “Fourth Sister said your clothes don’t fit. Our bodies are similar, so we can lend you my clothes.”
“This is my favorite. If Third Sister doesn’t mind, then just wear it.”
Xie Ying’s face turned green. She actually said these things in public?
Moreover, what kind of identity did she have to borrow clothes from the daughter of a concubine?
Xie Ying glared at Xie Yin, her reproach obvious.
Xie Yin did say it in private, but she didn’t say it in front of her. How did she know?
She immediately tried to explain, “I didn’t …”
“Did Fourth Sister forget?”
“You asked the servant girl to tell me.”
Her ability to tell lies was superb, and her face did not change.
As for which servant girl …
Let them check it out for themselves. It had nothing to do with her.
Xie Ying wouldn’t accept her clothes no matter what. Firstly, it was to save face, and secondly, she didn’t like it.
What kind of beautiful clothes could there be in the poor neighbouring areas of Qingzhou?
Xie Ying didn’t even spare a glance. “Thank you, Fifth Sister, but you probably heard wrong. I don’t lack clothes.”
Xie Zhen then let Shuang Yu take the clothes away. She had reached her goal anyway, so it was good that Xie Ying didn’t take it, and she wouldn’t be willing to give it away.
Although Xie Ying denied it, the eyes of the surrounding girls still changed. They thought Xie Ying was just concerned about face-saving, so she purposely said so.
One of them even covered her mouth and laughed softly.
Xie Ying’s expression turned even uglier as she stared at Xie Yin like a knife.
On the other side, Ling Xiangyun was attracted by the beauty and had already sent an invitation to Xie Zhen, “My sister, are you having a feast?”
“You’ve just returned from the Qingzhou and should know more people. At that time, Princess Yi and you will also be going.”
Faced with such a generous invitation, Xie Zhen couldn’t resist anymore, and finally nodded, “Okay.”
Ling Xiangyun happily took her hand and said that she would send a carriage to welcome her to the Duke’s Mansion and ask her to bring Xie Xun along with her.
After the birthday banquet ended, Xie Ying hadn’t taken care of Xie Yin for a few days.
Xie Yin was at a loss, so she sneaked out to ask all of the maidservants, but none of them admitted to it.
She was quite angry. She gave everyone a punishment, but still it did not let her anger go.
Not long after, the grand imperial concubine set up a feast of peonies. She expressed her regards to Xie Yingseveral times, and only then did she reluctantly forgive her.
The two of them discussed for a while before Xie Ying went to beg the eldest wife. The eldest wife was in charge of food, clothing and ordinary expense, so everything had to pass through her hands.
Within a few days, she had sent over a dozen sets of high-quality cloths to the third branch and the fourth branch to make spring shirts. However, the ones she gave to the second branch, although not some inferior material, were not very good either, and their colors were also very dark, not suitable for teenage girls at all.
Xie Zhen only took a glance. Originally, she wanted to have someone burn it down, but after thinking for a moment, she got the maid to use it as a rag.
Did they think that would embarrass her?
She wouldn’t let them to be satisfied.
Crown Prince’s Palace.
Since seeing Xie Zhen and Xie Xun, every time Ling Xiangyun came here, she would always praise them, “Elder sister doesn’t know that the Fifth Miss and the Seventh Miss of the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion are the true beauties. If I were a man, I would definitely marry them both …”
The Crown Princess, Ling Xiangmeng, burst out laughing. Her personality was completely different from her younger sister’s. Ling Xiangyun was a little carefree while she was gentle and virtuous.
She pointed at her sister’s nose. “It’s the Flower Lover Feast in a few days. I’d like to see if it’s really like you said.”
Ling Xiangyun stuck up three fingers and swore, “it’s more than real!”
This words somehow reached the crown prince’s ears. Yan Tao asked Ling Xiangmang, who was helping him to change his clothes, while shaking her head with a smile, “How could it be as exaggerated as Xiang Yun’s words. Your highness knows her character, and she was crazy. She did not speak the truth.”
