Xiao Rong was good at wielding swords and spears, but painting shoes was too difficult for him.
No matter how hard Xiao Rong tried and how many masters he found to teach him, his works were still a mess.
Looking at the mandarin ducks he had turned into ducks, Xiao Rong's face turned purple. He raised his hand and tore the painting in his hand into pieces. Then he looked at the maid standing at the door, "What's the matter?"
Seeing Xiao Rong's irritable face, the maid quickly said, "Young master, the princess invites you to the front hall."
If there was anyone in the world who was the best at reincarnation, it would be Xiao Rong.
Xiao Rong's father was a general who commanded millions of soldiers. Xiao Rong's mother was the sister of the current emperor. Xiao Rong's uncle was the current emperor. His grandmother was the current empress dowager. Even the crown prince would flatter Xiao Rong secretly when he saw him, let alone other people.
Xiao Rong lived in a world of flattery, so it was normal for him to be arrogant.
In this world, the only person who could make him let go of his sharp edges was Li Xiuwan.
As for Li Xiuwan, it was a bit false to say that he liked her. It was more appropriate to say that he was infatuated.
Xiao Rong was born in a noble family. Aside from not being able to be the emperor, he had gotten the best of everything. Since he was young, he had run amok in the palace. No matter what good things the emperor and empress dowager gave him, he had developed an arrogant temperament.
No matter what, Xiao Rong had to choose the best.
Naturally, he had to choose the most beautiful woman.
And the most beautiful girl in the capital was Li Xiuwan.
As for doing some ridiculous things for Li Xiuwan, it was just taking advantage of the situation.
As for liking her, he didn't have much.
If Princess Jiarong directly said that she didn't get along with Li Xiuwan, Xiao Rong would probably give up on Li Xiuwan.
However, Princess Jiarong felt that Li Xiuwan was the first girl her son liked in so many years. She was worried that if she missed this chance, Xiao Rong wouldn't be willing to marry in the future. What would she do if she couldn't hold a grandson?
Although Li Xiuwan had a cold temperament, she would naturally be obedient after being taught a few times. That was why Princess Jiarong could endure it for so long.
Hearing the maid say that his mother was calling him, Xiao Rong immediately got up and went to the front hall.
After seeing the madams in the front hall, Xiao Rong's brows instantly raised.
Although he had thousands of doubts in his heart, Xiao Rong still walked in front of Princess Jiarong and bowed. "Mother."
Seeing her son, Royal Princess Jiarong instantly broke into a smile, but her expression was still unforgiving as she said, "Why did you come out looking like this? Autumn Cicada doesn't even know how to give you some advice."
Qiu Chan was the maidservant that Princess Jiarong had sent to call Xiao Rong. When she heard Princess Jiarong's words, she quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness. "This servant has failed in her duty. Please punish me, Princess."
Xiao Rong didn't care about his mother punishing the maids. It seemed that he didn't know what it meant to have tender feelings for women except for Li Xiuwan.
However, in front of Jiujiu, Princess Royal Jiarong just wanted to save face. Then she pointed at Jiujiu and said to Xiao Rong, "This is the girl from the Marquis Family, Nanxiang. Come and greet your sister."
Before the Princess Royal said anything, Xiao Rong didn't notice that there was someone beside his mother. After he looked over, he couldn't move his eyes away.
Xiao Rong always thought that Li Xiuwan was the most beautiful girl in the capital. For Li Xiuwan, he was willing to do many things that he wasn't willing to do normally.
However, at this moment, after seeing Jiujiu, Xiao Rong felt that if Jiujiu was willing, he could even give her his life.
Xiao Rong's face was cold when he came in, but when he saw Jiujiu, a smile appeared on his face. He walked over to Jiujiu's side and said with a smile, "How old is little sister this year? Have you been betrothed to someone?"
She had just introduced Xiao Rong and Xiao Rong was already asking. Looking at her son's appearance, this matter was guaranteed.
Princess Royal Jiarong instantly smiled. She knew that after seeing Jiujiu's appearance, Xiao Rong would forget about that silly girl Li Xiuwan.
Princess Royal Jiarong looked at Xiao Rong and said with a smile, "Mother has already asked for you. Xiang 'er is only of marriageable age this year and hasn't been betrothed yet."
When Princess Royal Jiarong asked someone to call Xiao Rong over, no one felt anything. After all, Xiao Rong had been chasing after Li Xiuwan a while ago and everyone in the capital knew about it.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Rong looking at Jiujiu, everyone felt that Nanxiang was really going to soar into the sky.
Everyone looked at Li Guiqin with envy. Instead, it was Li Guiqin who felt her heart tighten.
She would rather Jiujiu find an ordinary man to marry than let Jiujiu marry into the Princess Royal's family.
Princess Royal Jiarong saw that Xiao Rong couldn't move his legs when he saw Jiujiu and said with a smile, "Nanxiang has just arrived in the capital. Since you have nothing to do today, take Xiang 'er out for a walk and see the local customs of the capital."
When Xiao Rong saw Jiujiu, he felt his heart beating uncontrollably. At this moment, when he heard his mother create an opportunity for him to be alone, he immediately cast a grateful look and quickly said to Jiujiu, "Little sister, what do you think?"
Jiujiu had seen blind dates before, but she had never seen a blind date like this.
However, she had a good impression of Princess Royal Jiarong, so she nodded and agreed.
Princess Royal Jiarong saw that Jiujiu agreed and was afraid that Jiujiu would regret it, so she sent Jiujiu and Xiao Rong out for a walk.
A quarter of an hour later, Jiujiu, who had just been at the General's Manor, was sitting in a carriage with Xiao Rong.
There was a heater in the carriage and a small table with snacks, fruits, and tea on it. Xiao Rong sat across from Jiujiu and stared at Jiujiu's face for a long time.
Jiujiu felt uncomfortable being stared at by Xiao Rong. She couldn't help looking up at Xiao Rong, "Young master Xiao, can you not look at me like this?"
Although Xiao Rong had a noble status, he didn't have a title. It was more appropriate for Jiujiu to call him young master Xiao.
Xiao Rong had inherited the good looks of the Princess Royal and the General, so he was very handsome. Even without his status, countless girls would flock to him. Not to mention, he had such a high status.
The girls in the capital only hated Xiao Rong for looking at them. How could they be like Jiujiu, directly telling Xiao Rong not to look at her?
If Xiao Rong was fascinated by Jiujiu's appearance at the beginning, then he was amused by Jiujiu's words at this moment.
Xiao Rong laughed and looked at Jiujiu with a bit more interest, "Do you know that the girls in the capital all want me to look at them more?"
Jiujiu looked at Xiao Rong indifferently. She didn't show any fear or excitement because of Xiao Rong's status and attitude. She just said, "I'm not a girl in the capital. Moreover, I don't want to benefit from young master Xiao. It doesn't matter if you look or not."
