"Miss Shi, you must be joking." The smile on Rong Xia's face disappeared. "A woman's reputation is very important. How could I be so careless? I'm not alone with the Princess. Ban Shizi is with me. Miss Shi, please don't misunderstand. "
Shi Feixian forced a smile and said, "It's my fault."
Ban Han turned around and was about to leave when he saw that Shi Feixian's smile had frozen. He couldn't help but glance at Rong Xia and found that Rong Xia was looking at him. She raised her eyebrows and pointed at the door with her white and tender index finger. Leave?
"Goodbye." Rong Xia smiled and said goodbye to the Shi Family.
"Princess." Yan Zhen ran out of the pavilion. He cupped his hands in salute to the Shi Family and then chased after Rong Xia and Ban Han. He looked like a serious scholar who had fallen in love. He didn't study and didn't care about the rules. He just wanted the woman he was infatuated with to look at him.
Shi Feixian coldly watched Yan Zhen chase after a woman and said coldly, "What scholar? What gentleman? He's just a vulgar man who can't move when he sees a beauty."
"Are you talking about Yan Zhen or Rong Xia?" Shi Jin looked at his sister and said, "As a noble lady, you lost your sense of propriety in front of Rong Xia."
"He's nothing. How can he be compared to Earl Rong?" Shi Feixian's face darkened when her brother saw through her thoughts. However, she felt relieved. At least she didn't have to hide it in front of her brother. "Isn't Earl Rong a good marriage partner?"
"He's not suitable for you." Shi Jin wanted to say that Rong Xia didn't care about him. However, when he saw the affection in his sister's eyes, Shi Jin's heart softened. "Sister, you deserve a better man."
"A better man?" Hearing this, Shi Feixian sneered. "Among the young Langjuns in this world, only my brother and Earl Rong can be called young talents. The others are just vulgar men. Who do you think I can marry?"
The most ridiculous thing was that in order to make Prime Minister Zuo support the Crown Prince completely, the family intended to let her marry Yan Zhen. Unexpectedly, Yan Zhen fell in love with a woman who had broken off three engagements. She didn't understand what was so good about Ban Han that he could infatuate the son of Prime Minister Yan like this.
"Should I rejoice that no one in the capital knows that our family had the intention of forming a marriage alliance with the Yan Family?" Shi Feixian felt very embarrassed at the thought that the man she was about to marry was chasing after another woman. "Anyway, I was born to sacrifice myself for my eldest sister."
"If Big Sister can't give birth to a son in the future, will I have to become the Crown Prince's concubine and help Big Sister give birth to a child?" Shi Feixian always had a knot in her heart. Her whole family always revolved around her eldest sister, who had become the Crown Princess. Everyone was the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. What was she, the second daughter, to them?
She was more talented and more beautiful than her eldest sister. If she hadn't been born a few years later than her, she wouldn't have been unable to make her own decision about her marriage because of her eldest sister.
"Fairy!" Shi Jin's face darkened when he heard Shi Feixian's words becoming more and more outrageous. "It's not easy for Big Sister to marry into the East Palace. If everyone in our family says this, how will Big Sister live?"
"It's not easy for her. Should I sacrifice my life for her honor?" Shi Feixian's eyes reddened. "I'm also a daughter of the Shi Family!"
Seeing his sister like this, Shi Jin sighed softly and comforted her gently. "Don't worry. I won't let you marry Yan Zhen."
"Right now, he only has eyes for the beautiful Princess Fule. Even if you're willing to marry him, he won't marry you," Shi Feixian said angrily. "It's my fault for not having a devastatingly beautiful face."
"Nonsense." Shi Jin reached out and patted her head. "Our Fairy is the most beautiful woman in the capital. The men who want to marry you can line up from the top of the city to the bottom of the city. A bookworm like Yan Zhen doesn't know what a real beauty is."
"In your heart, who's more beautiful, Princess Fule or me?" Shi Feixian looked at Shi Jin. "Hmm?"
"In your brother's heart, of course you're the most beautiful." Shi Jin patted her shoulder and turned around. "Let's go. Don't let the other guests wait too long."
Shi Feixian smiled sweetly at him and said, "I'm sorry, big brother. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you just now."
"I'm your big brother. You don't have to apologize to me." Shi Jin gently patted the top of his sister's head. He blinked and hid the last trace of disappointment in his eyes.
"You're finally out." Ban Heng walked out of the gate of the holiday home. He glanced at the servants who were nodding and bowing to him and said to the manservant, "Go. I'm in a good mood today. Reward them with a handful of broken silver."
"Yes." They knew that their Shizi had the habit of rewarding people when he was happy, so the manservants who served him would always carry some silver and copper coins with them. If the Shizi wanted to reward them, the manservants would grab a handful and go out. After a long time, the manservants who served him received a nickname in the manor: The Children of Wealth.
In fact, the personal maidservants of the Imperial Princess were also known as the Children of Wealth. However, everyone in the residence knew that the Imperial Princess was very favored. No one dared to call the people by the Imperial Princess that way for fear of being punished.
"What are you so happy about?" Ban Han lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped on a stool, preparing to enter the carriage. Seeing her younger brother giving money to the servants, she curiously stopped and turned around to look at Ban Heng.
"It's nothing." Ban Heng grinned and moved closer to Ban Han. He whispered, "Seeing those self-proclaimed gentlemen and bookworms peek at you from time to time, I feel relieved."
"Am I an object? It's better to let them look at me as they please," Ban Ti stretched out a finger and flicked his forehead, "Alright, quickly go and tell Duke Rong that I'm entering the carriage."
"Be careful." Ban Heng carefully lifted the hem of Ban Han's skirt and muttered, "This dress is beautiful, but it's too troublesome to walk. You women really like to struggle."
Even though he had seen his sister struggle for beauty countless times, he still complained countless times.
"What do you know?" Ban Han climbed onto the carriage and swung her skirt. She smiled and said, "As long as it's beautiful, it's worth it."
Ban Heng obediently lowered the curtain for Ban Han and turned to jump off the carriage. He said to Rong Xia: "Duke Rong, please."
"Please." Rong Xia looked at the tightly covered carriage and climbed onto the horse's back. He pulled on the horse's reins and the horse turned around.
"Ban shizi," Yan Zhen trotted out, followed by a group of manservants, "Please wait."
When Ban Heng saw the person, he frowned. He wanted to pretend that he didn't hear and continue to walk. Who knew that this Yan Zhen was so persistent that he chased in front of his horse. He couldn't pretend that he didn't see him.
"Yan gongzi, is there something else?" Ban Heng tightened his grip on the horsewhip. If this person wasn't the son of the Left Prime Minister, he would have whipped him in the face. Wasn't it said that the Yan family was strict? How did they teach a lecher to chase women's carriages?
"This one has something to say to Junzhu. Junzhu, please meet with this one." Yan Zhen walked to the front of the carriage and bowed deeply, "Junzhu, I'm not good with words and have never interacted with women. But what I said just now was not a lie. Please reconsider."
"Yan gongzi, please go back." Ban Han's voice came from the carriage. Yan Zhen saw that the curtain of the carriage didn't move. His eyes dimmed.
He knew that she wouldn't see him.
"There are many things in the world that are difficult to perfect. Yan gongzi is so talented, you will definitely find someone you like. This one isn't a good match for you. Please don't mention this matter again. Goodbye."
"Yan gongzi, please make way." The guards of the Ban Family politely invited Yan Zhen to the side. Yan Zhen watched the carriage pass in front of him. As the tinkling of copper bells went away, he felt that his heart was also taken away by the carriage.
He didn't know how long he stood there until someone called him from behind. He was in a daze.
"Yan gongzi," Junzhu Kang Ning saw that Yan Zhen was staring at the road outside in a daze. She smiled and said, "The autumn wind is very cold. What are you doing standing here?"
"Junzhu Kang Ning," Yan Zhen bowed to Kang Ning, "Goodbye."
Kang Ning was confused by Yan Zhen. She turned her head and saw that the expressions of the servants at the door were not right. She asked one of them, "What happened just now?"
The servant who was stopped by Kang Ning hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me, Junzhu. This one just came and didn't know what happened."
The son of Left Prime Minister Yan was interested in the Princess Fule of the Jingting Marquessate, who had been rejected by him three times. He was even rejected by this Junzhu!
This matter was really too shocking. He felt a great impact on his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Kang Ning saw that this servant was unwilling to tell the truth and was a bit unhappy. However, he wasn't a servant of the Prince Hui Mansion. Even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't show it. She said, "Since that's the case, let's find someone who knows."
The servants at the door all lowered their heads and didn't say a word.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Kang Ning forced a smile and said, "Since you don't know, then let's forget about it."
After she entered the carriage, her face became completely gloomy. Everyone in the capital looked down on her. Even the servants of the Shi Family were the same.
These dogs were relying on their master's power to bully others.
Sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner or later …
She took out a stack of shortbread from the drawer of the carriage and crushed them all into powder. Only then did she feel a bit better.
Ban Han's carriage stopped in front of the Jingting Marquessate. When she got out of the carriage, she saw that Rong Xia was still there. She smiled brightly at him.
Rong Xia saw her smile and couldn't help but smile back. "Junzhu, I'll take my leave."
"Wait." Ban Han suddenly thought of something and climbed back into the carriage. After the sound of rummaging came out, Ban Han climbed out again. She lifted her skirt and jumped down with one hand on the shaft of the carriage. "This is for you."
Rong Xia took the things that Ban Han handed to him. His expression changed slightly. "This …"
"Shh." Ban Han winked at him. "These things are useless in our family. As the saying goes, a good sword matches a hero, and a good book matches a talented person. Isn't that the truth?"
Rong Xia quietly looked at the smiling woman in front of him. He put the book in his arms and bowed to Ban Han. "Thank you for your kindness, Junzhu."
"You're welcome." Ban Han took two steps toward the door. When she turned around and saw that Rong Xia was still standing there, she let go of her skirt and waved at Rong Xia. Then she walked into the Ban Family's door.
"Goodbye." Ban Heng bowed to Rong Xia and ran after his sister. As he ran, he bent down to lift Ban Han's skirt.
Soon, the siblings disappeared behind the Ban Family's door.
Rong Xia took out the thing in his arms and looked at it. He clenched it and put it back in his arms.
