Chapter 18: Received beautiful clothes, why didn't my brother get married?
Xu Wanyue raised her eyebrows and said excitedly, "Oh, by the way, one picture may not be enough, how about you draw a few more? If it is convenient for Your Majesty, you can draw a few more landscapes and mountain-water paintings."
When I get home, maybe I can sell it as an antique for a good price!
Xu Wanyue didn't bother to be polite with him and directly took out a few pieces of paper and spread them on the table.
It looks like you are going to draw it right now.
"Okay, I'll listen to Yue'er." Lu Jingxing didn't expose the little girl's thoughts and waited for her to describe.
It is true that one is not enough, but it is also possible to ask others to draw a few more.
It's rare for a little girl to make a request to me, so I can't mess it up.
"Shiyi, come in." Lu Jing ordered.
Lu Shi/Lu Shiyi clasped his fists, "Your Majesty——"
Xu Wanyue handed the painting to Shiyi and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please inform me as soon as you have any news."
"Take the painting and pick a team of people, search the whole country for this place. The first person to find it will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. Remember to act secretly."
How much! Thousand taels! Gold!
I feel like I don’t have to go back to this home.
Otherwise, you give me the gold and I can find it myself!
"Yes--"
Lu Shiyi: Why did Your Majesty keep staring at me just now?
When Lu Jingxing turned around, he saw that the word gold was almost written in the little girl's eyes.
The man smiled and said, "How about, Yue'er, don't leave. I'll give you all my money, um..."
Why is this man so close again? No, I can't lose my freedom for beauty!
The man's breath was on her face. Xu Wanyue was dazed and moved her steps lightly. "No, I still have to go home. Thank you for your help.
If you find it, please let me know. I'm going to the toilet and will be back soon." Xu Wanyue made up an excuse.
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away as if there was a wasp chasing him.
Lu Jingxing looked at the beautiful figure from afar, standing with his hands behind his back.
After a long while, I could only hear him sigh and murmur, "The road ahead is long and difficult, and it's not easy to deceive the little money-grubber..."
……
Xu Wanyue strolled around the mansion and found that the box was missing when she passed the backyard.
I was thinking that if I went out that day, I would go buy a ladder so that I wouldn't have to carry things with me.
After entering the study, he asked, "Uncle Fu, Madam Li, why are you here together?"
The two rarely appear together due to their different jurisdictions.
It was also the first time that Xu Wanyue saw the two of them together.
Uncle Fu heard the noise and said, "Miss Xu, how are you? The prince has asked me to bring you your share."
Uncle Fu was also in charge of the accounts, so all the monthly allowances in the mansion were distributed by him.
Seeing Uncle Fu bowing to her, Xu Wanyue hurriedly helped him up: "Uncle Fu, why are you bowing to me? You can't do that!"
Uncle Fu saw clearly that the prince treated Miss Xu differently now.
Maybe the palace will hold a wedding soon. I have to prepare some things in advance, so as not to be late.
Uncle Fu smiled and replied, "Of course, Miss Xu. The prince also said that if you are not satisfied with the layout of the mansion, just let me know."
Unexpectedly, although Miss Xu was favored, she still treated an old man like this with courtesy as usual.
Nanny Li just interrupted and said, "Miss Xu, this is a great honor. Look, the prince asked me to make a few dresses for you. Try them on quickly!"
Seeing this, Uncle Fu put down the silver and walked out.
Nanny Li didn't expect that the prince would be so fond of this little girl. If this continues, this girl might be able to become the queen.
Xu Wanyue was attracted by the rows of clothes, and now even the silver was put aside for the time being.
"These pieces are the treasures of Ruyuefang. Look at the butterflies on the material. They look like they are about to fly. If you look closely, you can see gold powder glittering. Take a look."
Although Mammy has lived for so many years and has seen many good things with the Empress,
But seeing this dress now is really amazing.
"Stop looking at it, girl. Put it on quickly. Stop standing there. Help Miss Xu get dressed."
Xu Wanyue did not refuse, as she really didn't know how to wear this kind of clothes.
"Thank you for your help." Xu Wanyue looked at her work clothes.
She had originally decided to use her salary to buy some beautiful clothes, but she didn't expect this sudden surprise.
With the help of others, I put on my clothes in no time.
Nanny Li didn't expect this girl to look so stunning in her clothes. She was amazed and her eyes lit up. "Oh, where did this fairy come from? This smoky purple color really suits you!"
Dressed like this, even the ladies in the palace would look inferior to her.
Nanny Li’s smile has never faded since she came in.
"Madame Li, where's the prince?" Xu Wanyue touched the hairpin on her head. Fearing it would fall off, she pushed it in a little further.
Nanny Li covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "Oh, you must be anxious. The prince is meeting guests in the garden. Nanny, I won't bother you any more."
"Let's go……"
Xu Wanyue blushed all of a sudden, "Mammy, how could I..."
Xu Wanyue had just asked casually, but now it seemed as if she was very anxious to see the boss.
Before she could say anything else, the nanny had already walked away with her people.
Xu Wanyue went back to the house, got her bag, and put it on the table. "Wait for Ping'er to come back and ask her to sew a purple one for me."
After saying that, she lifted up her skirt and trotted to the garden.
……
The prince, who had not appeared in the garden for a long time, was drinking and chatting with the prince.
Lu Fang looked worried and said, "Jingxing, I heard that you fell into the water. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, my brother, don't worry."
Lu Fang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. "You are still willing to call me Royal Brother. Really..."
"Isn't your Majesty willing?" Lu Jingxing asked back.
"No, no, Jingxing was wrong before. I shouldn't have listened to my mother."
Lu Jingxing: "Royal brother, there is no need to blame yourself. As I said before, the past is gone, there is no need to torture yourself too much." As he spoke, he seemed to have returned to that rainy night.
He cried and begged to see his brother for a long time, but the door never opened. Then they gradually changed.
"I, it's all my fault. Can we go back to our childhood?" In fact, he knew that Zheng'er's death had nothing to do with Jingxing. It was just that he suddenly lost his lover at that time.
He felt hopeless, and gradually he just stayed in the East Palace and saw no one, even going to court only when his mother asked him to.
Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "Brother, please have some tea."
Lu Fang didn't feel relieved until now. As soon as he relaxed his gossiping mind, he took her arm and asked with a smile like he did when they were children: "Jingxing,
I heard from Lady Zhen that you fell into the water to save a girl. What does that girl look like? Let me see her. I can give you some advice."
When Lu Jingxing heard the little girl's name and thought of how she looked in new clothes, his face turned red with smile and he began to stammer, "She's fine..."
Lu Fang smiled evilly, "Oh, it seems that Ah Jing is shy. You are old enough to get married. Others of your age have children running around."
"Brother seems to be one year older than me, why don't you get married?"
Come on, come on, let's hurt each other!
Lu Jingxing looked over with an expression that said, "Listen to yourself and see if what you are saying makes sense."
Lu Fang was embarrassed. "Is it just something I said casually..."
