" Xiao Ya." She put on her shoes and walked into the courtyard.
"Ah, Miss is awake." Xiao Ya ran out with a happy face. "Miss, in two days you will be marrying into the North Duke residence. Thank goodness, Miss will finally have a good home to go to, and won't have to be alone anymore."
"Alone? Don't I still have you?" Shen Yige looked at Xiao Ya and smiled softly.
At the North Duke mansion, it can be considered a fresh start, but it is still unknown whether there will be any good results. She looked at the layers of bright red, feeling a bit dazzling. " Xiao Ya, I have never been out of the mansion alone. Come with me, I want to buy some new clothes."
"Ah, why go out to buy clothes? We could have just called a tailor to the mansion, Miss? Miss!" Xiao Ya still hasn't come to her senses, but Shen Yige has already walked far away. Shen Yige aimlessly strolled past one shop after another. "Miss, Xiao Ya is so tired." Xiao Ya felt her feet ache from walking, but Shen Yige was still tireless.
"What's wrong?"
"All the clothes can be tailored and embroidered at the mansion. Why is Miss so energetic today?" Xiao Ya followed Shen Yige with a look of grievance.
"Today, this Miss is in good spirits," but in reality, she hadn't figured out how to face the big red silk hanging in the mansion.
"This shop looks quaint and elegant, let's go inside and take a look." From the outside, among many shops, it already stands out as quite unique, and the inside is also very exquisite. The polished sandalwood infuses a faint fragrance into this small space, and the fabrics displayed on the walls and in front of the cabinets feel comfortable and soft at first glance. The colors are bright yet restrained, some dignified yet not soft. "Wow, Miss, look at this piece of fabric," Xiao Ya exclaimed, her eyes eagerly fixed on a piece of plain fabric, wanting to touch it but not daring to.
Shen Yige Look closely at the fabric. It's not the kind of soft and flowing chiffon, but a brocade made stitch by stitch, with delicate light blue petals on a snowy white base.
"This young lady has a discerning eye. This fabric is newly arrived from the renowned Zou workshop in Qizhou. We have only this one piece. Would you two ladies like to take a look?" A middle-aged man behind the counter said at the right moment, seeing Xiao Ya's interest.
Shen Yige winked at Xiao Ya, " Xiao Ya, pay for it."
"Oh," Xiao Ya was about to roll up her sleeves when she suddenly remembered something, "Miss, Xiao Ya doesn't have any money on her."
"What?" The personal maid of the noble young lady from the Xiang Mansion doesn't have any money on her?
"On regular days, Xiao Ya doesn't often go out with the young lady, and even when we do, there's not much need for spending, so Aunt Tang never gives Xiao Ya much money on regular days," Xiao Ya said dejectedly.
"Subo, take Miss Shen's measurements and have the clothing delivered to the Shen residence at a later date." A man entered the shop from behind, his light blue robe outlining his well-proportioned figure. As he passed by Shen Yige, the hem of his robe fluttered in the air.
"My lord," the old man in the hall bowed respectfully.
North Duke's residence.
"Your Highness, the wedding day is approaching. Shouldn't we prepare something and show our respect to Prime Minister Shen?" Can Ting asked indirectly.
"I called you to the study to discuss official matters. Why are you bringing this up?" Lu Zhuonian said with a cold face.
"We have all read the secret letter from Jiange, and there is nothing wrong. Your Highness, you worry too much about this. You should be thinking about Miss Shen instead."
Lu Zhuonian Putting down the letter in hand, he walked out of the study.
Can Ting Hurried to catch up, "Your Highness, are you going to the Shen Mansion?"
Lu Zhuonian Stopped in his tracks, "Where I go is none of your concern."
He turned his head and saw the red "happy" character posted on the window, and for a moment forgot the inexplicable unhappiness from earlier. He recalled the day when she wore a chiffon dress, and it seemed like something gently trembled in his heart.
"Come with me to the street and take a look," Lu Zhuonian said to Canting.
"Okay," Canting was a bit puzzled. The prince really seemed to have his own way of doing things.
My lord? Shen Yige glanced sideways, unexpectedly encountering such a graceful prince. Carefully sizing him up, she noticed the barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth and the squint of his peach blossom eyes.
"Consider it a gift from this prince to you and your fourth brother."
"Yige thanks you for this, but I wonder..."
"It's Prince Jingyuan," Xiao Ya whispered in her ear.
Shen Yige understood in her heart and nodded with a smile. Little did he know what kind of medicine he was selling.
"Thank you again for your kindness, Your Highness. I take my leave," Shen Yige glanced at Xiao Ya, signaling her to leave quickly.
Currently in the court, the two princes who are truly at the center of the storm are him and North Duke, right? They are the only two princes with territories, and perhaps they also have their own respective powers. In terms of civil administration and military prowess, each can be considered a hero. It's best for the emperor's family affairs to be less involved, as it's difficult to excel alone.
Lu Jincheng saw Shen Yige leaving as if fleeing, clearly trying to escape something and overly concealing it. Leaving like the wind, not leaving a trace. The brief dialogue just now left people feeling somewhat unsatisfied.
"Sss—" It was already the springtime when the rivers flowed, and all things were reborn, but there were still occasional cool breezes mixed with lingering chill.
Shen Yige shrank her neck, feeling a bit uncomfortable with the lingering cold of this early spring evening.
"Miss Shen, don't forget to wear a windbreaker, be careful not to catch a cold," Lu Jincheng appeared again in front of her.
Shen Yige moved his lips slightly, and gave him a resentful glare, knowing full well that I hadn't returned yet he still pretended to remind me, how hypocritical. Shen Yige respectfully bowed, turned and left.
Before I could see the path ahead, I suddenly fell into a warm embrace. I looked up and fell into a pair of very deep eyes, as deep as a quiet lake from ancient times. "Brother, how did you find time today to meet the fourth brother in this noisy place?" Lu Zhuonian asked with a smile, holding Shen Yige in his arms.
"Recently, the queen grandmother has been unwell. I heard that there is a dim sum shop in the alley south of the city, and I wanted to go take a look. Coincidentally, I saw Miss Shen looking at fabric, and I thought I should say hello. After all, we will be family in the future."
"Lu Jincheng's smile was warm, with a hint of laughter in his eyes, making everything seem so simple and real. Despite their similar status, the two brothers had such distinct differences, which was truly hard to fathom."
"Shen Yige silently observed the calm demeanor of the two. With limited understanding, it was truly impossible to fathom what secrets lay beneath the faintly stirred curtain."
"Your Highness, please release the hand of the common girl."
"Pfft." Can Ting tried hard to hold back, but still couldn't help laughing. The usually serious and unromantic prince seemed to have been rejected.
Xiao Ya covered her mouth in surprise.
Shen Yige realized belatedly and turned around, accidentally bumping into Lu Zhuonian's chin, feeling a bit dizzy. It was too forceful, causing a dull ache.
On the side, Lu Jincheng continued to smile brightly.
"Sour with a hint of sweetness, lingering fragrance on the lips, like candied haws..." There was a small stall along the street, where a vendor in coarse clothes held up a string of candied haws, the sugar coating sparkling in the light.
Shen Yige Suddenly feel like laughing for no reason.
Lu Zhuonian As if just realizing, he pulled his hand away.
Lu Jincheng Watching the two of them, he felt that the atmosphere was slightly different from usual, but couldn't figure out what was strange. Since the good show was already over, there was no point in staying any longer. With a flutter of his clothes, he left gracefully.
Shen Yige Walking back to the mansion along the path taken in the afternoon, two figures, one black and one blue, kept appearing in my sight from time to time.
In broad daylight, even if there is any danger, it shouldn't be enough to make me encounter it. I made it clear by not taking the carriage, so why do they still have to follow behind me?
Anyone with clear eyes can see that neither the man nor the woman has any intention. Even without understanding their personalities, marrying oneself is nothing more than complying with the will of the gods. Must they still pretend in front of others to show that insignificant friendship? It's just the words of the world.
The fourth prince, who is accustomed to doing things his own way, probably won't pay attention at this time, right? So, what other reason is there? Shen Yige shrugged.
Lu Zhuonian couldn't say what was in his heart, it seemed like just maintaining an extremely delicate connection, until she safely returned home.
