'Everything is worth it!'
Li Shiyan's words implied that the two of them had left this place. It was a good thing that lovers finally found a home. He could only give his blessings.
Luo Yang heard him call her 'Shu' er 'over and over again in such an intimate manner. It was clear that their relationship was a far cry.
His heart was filled with disappointment, reluctance, and emptiness.
He asked, "You said that you are Miss Ji's friend and acquaintance. Then tell me, what is Miss Ji's relationship with that Su Luoluo? Why did he take her away? " In fact, Li Shiyan didn't know why. He only knew that they had the same tassel. Su Ziluo and Ji Yunshu never talked about their relationship. But there were two things he could be sure of. First, Su Ziluo didn't have the tassel.
First, they knew each other before they went to Great Lin. Second, they both cared about that tassel. As for their true relationship, there was no way to investigate it. After all, the two of them never talked about it and hid it very well.
"I don't know, so I can't tell you. In short, Shu 'er has left and won't be coming back."
Won't be coming back!
Luo Yang was speechless.
Li Shiyan didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore. He pulled Luo Yang and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to a place so we can relax."
"Where are we going …?"
Luo Yang was dragged into the carriage.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You have nothing to do here anyway. Let's go and have some fun."
"What fun? I'm not in the mood to eat right now. "
"Who said we're going to eat? Two grown men together, of course we're going to drink! "
"I don't have money."
"How can I let you spend money when you're with this Heir?" Li Shiyan acted like he was rich and overbearing.
Luo Yang was still immersed in the news of Ji Yunshu's departure. Although he suspected that Li Shiyan was lying to him, he had no reason to lie. It wouldn't benefit anyone.
He sighed. His heart was filled with bitterness.
'Forget it, I'll go with the Heir and drink some wine to relieve my worries.'
…
After a night of heavy rain, today's weather was pretty good.
The sun shone down and the air warmed up.
After resting at home for a few days, Zhu Yao's body gradually recovered a lot. There were no major problems, and she was in a good mood. Cai 'er thought that after the engagement was called off, she would be depressed. However, she didn't expect that her Young Miss didn't take this matter to heart. Moreover, she didn't say a single word. It was as if the engagement had never happened, and it seemed as if that Li Shi
Yan's person had never appeared. She was still that innocent and pure little girl. She was still full of longing for love.
Of course, if Zhu Yao didn't mention it, Cai 'er wouldn't mention it either. She would just act as if nothing had happened. Mrs. Zhu, on the other hand, felt that her daughter's state was very abnormal, so she asked people to keep an eye on her. She would also come to take a look from time to time, but Zhu Yao was either reading in the room or playing the zither. She seemed to be in a very good mood.
A person with a mental illness.
Therefore, Madam Zhu was slightly relieved!
Zhu Yao saw that the weather outside was very good, and there was even a gust of warm wind. She put down the book in her hands, stood up, and walked to the door. Her face was rosy, and her eyebrows were lightly swept, like a painting.
She called Cai 'er and asked, "Has Yan Jing City been very lively recently?"
Cai 'er replied, "Yes, in a few days it will be the triennial Top Courtesan Competition. I heard from Wanxia that many girls came to Yan Jing City. It's very lively."
"Then let's go out and take a look."
"Ah?"
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yao looked at her.
Cai 'er was surprised that her Young Lady was willing to go out, but in the end, she still swallowed her words and quickly agreed, "Yes, this servant will go and prepare."
She nodded.
Cai 'er hurriedly arranged a sedan chair and secretly went to report to Mrs. Zhu. After Mrs. Zhu heard about it, she rushed over and saw that her daughter had already dressed up. Her makeup was very delicate and beautiful. In the end, she was still a beauty. However, today's makeup was different. Previously, it was more elegant, but today, it was slightly stronger.
There was a bit of a charm to it. It was like the girl next door had grown into a young lady.
"Yao 'er, your body is still not good. You should rest at home."
"Mother, I'm fine."
"This child, you really like to put up a strong front."
Zhu Yao held Mrs. Zhu's hand, "I'm really fine. Don't worry."
"But … …"
"Daughter has rested at home for a few days. Daughter's body is much better. Taking advantage of today's good weather, I'll go out for a walk. Don't worry, I'll be back before it gets dark."
Mrs. Zhu touched her rosy cheeks. Her eyebrows lightly wrinkled as she said, "Okay. Then be careful."
"En, Daughter understands."
Mrs. Zhu arranged for a few young maids to follow Zhu Yao out.
Zhu Yao rode the sedan chair out of the mansion and headed towards a private room in the city.
On the road, there were many young ladies strolling on the streets. Red and green.
The entire Yan Jing city was like a garden full of blooming flowers in spring. It was a dazzling scene.
It was very lively!
Cai 'er walked outside the sedan chair. She looked at the young ladies that constantly passed by her. Her eyes were full of envy as she said to the person in the sedan chair, "Young Lady, it's really lively outside."
Hearing this, Zhu Yao opened the curtain and looked outside. There were all kinds of red flowers and green branches … all kinds of exquisite young ladies!
Cai 'er said, "Three years ago, Young Lady was not of age to participate. But this year, you can participate. At that time, you will definitely be able to outshine everyone else."
Zhu Yao said, "When did I have to participate?"
"Does Young Lady not plan to participate?"
"Even if I go to pay my respects, what can I do? I know my own limits. "
"Young Lady's words are incorrect. This servant thinks that although those young ladies are beautiful, none of them can compare to you."
"You always say things like that."
"This servant's words are not false."
Zhu Yao smiled bitterly. "I can't even compare to half of Miss Ji's beauty. How can I outshine everyone else?"
Even if she was elegant and refined in the eyes of others, in front of Ji Yunshu, she couldn't be considered anything.
Cai 'er listened to her words and said, "In this servant's heart, Young Lady is the most beautiful. You should participate in the Courtesan Competition."
Zhu Yao told her, "Father is the Minister of Rites. The Courtesan Competition is also organized by the Ministry of Rites. If I participate, there will inevitably be gossip. When the time comes, it will bring trouble to Father. I also don't like that kind of atmosphere. I really don't want to go."
This was the so-called avoiding suspicion! Minister Zhu was equivalent to the most important 'judge' of this competition. Even if his subordinates all thought that a certain woman could pass the preliminaries, as long as Minister Zhu didn't agree, they couldn't do anything. From this, it could be seen how great the prestige of an official was.
If Zhu Yao participated, even if she relied on her beauty and talent to enter the preliminaries, it would certainly attract the attention of others. She was afraid that the spearhead would be pointed at Minister Zhu. In the end, the gains would not make up for the losses. Therefore, Zhu Yao didn't have any thoughts or plans to participate.
Cai 'er thought about it and agreed, so she didn't say anything more.
Not long after, they arrived at the largest Fengya Pavilion in the city.
Coincidentally, they bumped into Li Shiyan's carriage.
As Zhu Yao got off the sedan, Cai 'er said, "Young Lady, that is …"
Cai 'er didn't finish her sentence.
Zhu Yao looked over and saw Li Shiyan and Luo Yang coming down one after the other. They were also about to enter Fengya Pavilion.
She didn't expect to bump into them!
Zhu Yao's expression was normal. She didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. She boldly met Li Shiyan's gaze and walked over …
Li Shiyan specially brought Luo Yang here to drink. He didn't expect to meet Zhu Yao here. They hadn't seen each other for two days, but Zhu Yao's complexion and expression had become much more spirited. Especially today, she had put on a very exquisite makeup.
It was as if she had become a completely different person!
Zhu Yao didn't hide anything as she walked in front of him and smiled, "You also came."
"Yes, today's weather isn't bad."
"It really is. That's why I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to meet you." Zhu Yao said.
Luo Yang, who was leaning on the side of the carriage, suddenly said, "It's fate!"
Zhu Yao and Li Shiyan were momentarily speechless.
They were speechless.
When she came back to her senses, Zhu Yao said, "Since you're all here, then let's go in and have a seat. Even though the engagement between us has already been dissolved, didn't we already say that we're still friends?"
That's what she said!
However, Li Shiyan originally came to drink. If Zhu Yao was present, it wouldn't be convenient for them to drink.
