Shen Shi Ye was confused by her sudden change in attitude. He wanted to ask, but when he saw the faint sense of loneliness on the other person, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Seeing that GongYimo wanted to leave, he asked without thinking, "Where are you going?"
His words made GongYimo slightly confused. She still had to wait for Gong Dai to come back, but there was no place for her in the capital.
Perhaps only when she was deep in thought would her small face show a sense of weakness. She was only twelve and had been chased out of the palace. What would she rely on to live?
Shen Shi Ye couldn't help but forget his previous hatred for her. He looked up at the sky and said in a small voice, "If you don't have a place to go … … My mother left me a house."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw GongYimo turn her head to look at him and smile. Shen Shi Ye's face immediately turned red: "Don't misunderstand, this young master just saw that no one had cleaned it for a long time and wanted to find someone to clean it … …"
His lie was really clumsy, but it made GongYimo's mood miraculously better.
"Is that so? Then it would be impolite for me to refuse. "
Not to mention that GongYimo was living in Shen Shi Ye's house, thousands of li away, Gong Dai was looking at the black hair in his hand and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
He was still on the road. The West Continent was too far away and the yellow sand and loneliness swirled on the road. It was already late and they set up camp. Soon, the smell of barbecued meat filled the air.
He didn't know how Royal Sister was doing. Without him constantly watching over her, did she still not need to eat breakfast? That girl Xin 'er was very useless. How could Royal Sister hear her when she spoke so softly?
Did she practice on time? The Imperial Palace was fraught with danger. What could she do if she was so tired?
Gong Dai never knew that he was such a wishy-washy person. He laughed self-deprecatingly, but his eyes were full of gentleness.
It turned out that missing someone was so sweet and bitter. He could only make himself busier so that he wouldn't indulge in it.
Royal Sister, wait for me. Wait for me to become strong and return to your side.
Only by becoming strong, no matter how strong, to the point where no one could stop him, would he no longer have to endure the pain of lovesickness.
At this moment, he didn't know that the Royal Sister he missed so much had been demoted and was no longer a princess.
Zhenxi Of Gojoseon, who was originally far away in the West Continent, was overjoyed when he heard that his grandson was coming. However, a few days later, he received another letter via pigeon. GongYimo had been demoted!
Judging from the princess's words, she was worried that the news of her demotion would spread to Gong Dai's ears and affect Gong Dai's mood. Therefore, she needed him to make arrangements in advance and help her hide it from Gong Dai.
After all, Gong Dai would not think that something would happen as soon as he left the capital, and he would not suspect that the princess and herself were hiding something from him.
Zhenxi Of Gojoseon burned the letter after reading it. After giving the order, he sighed and pulled his beard, not knowing what to do.
Zhenxi Of Gojoseon saw his sad face and asked, "Now that our grandson is coming back, why do you seem unhappy?"
Zhenxi Of Gojoseon was tall and sturdy. Because he exercised all year round, he didn't look old. Instead, he was as strong as a bear. At this moment, he drank a big bowl of wine and seemed to be unsatisfied, so he raised the jar and drank another mouthful!
"Sigh, isn't it all about the scheming in the capital? Her Royal Highness is too kind, but now she has fallen into it. We can't let that boy know about this. Otherwise, he will definitely turn around and return to the capital! "
As he spoke, he told the contents of the letter to his wife. Li Zhangshi was a soft-hearted person. When she heard it, she became worried. "What should we do? Her Royal Highness is only 12 years old. How will she survive in the capital?"
Zhenxi Of Gojoseon sighed. "I'm afraid that the people who were suppressed by her Royal Highness will take the opportunity to take revenge. Otherwise, with her ability, I won't be worried."
As he spoke, he comforted his wife. "Don't worry. The princess is a person with great fortune. Just now, she said in the letter that she will take good care of herself. When has she ever disappointed us?"
On the other side, when Shen Shi Ye arrived in the capital, he ignored the people who were looking for him and went straight to the Marquis Residence the next day.
However, he was a man outside and couldn't meet his cousin alone. Therefore, he asked to see his aunt and was accompanied by his aunt. Only then did he meet Su Miaolan.
While Shen Shi Ye was waiting, Su Miaolan's mother, Su Ru, was advising her with a serious face.
"Daughter, Mother knows that you are thinking of the Crown Prince. But now that he has suffered such a great calamity, his status in front of the Emperor has plummeted. Mother thinks that Shi Ye is a good child. Not to mention that he is the legitimate heir to the throne, he is also good for you."
"Mother, you don't need to say anything about this matter. Your daughter has her own ideas."
A gentle female voice floated over like a fairy's voice. When she lifted the curtain and saw that it was Shen Shi Ye, she smiled at him.
She was wearing a pink and blue tube dress that reached the ground and matched it with a white Confucian robe with a pale lotus flower pattern. Her hair was dotted with emerald green dots, each of which was precious and unique. Her outfit looked ordinary, but it was priceless.
Shen Shi Ye was stunned. This cousin of his was really beautiful and moving.
But in the next moment, he didn't know why, but when he saw his cousin's exquisite appearance, he couldn't help but think of another little girl who was two years younger than her.
They were all at the age where they cared about their appearance. When he saw her yesterday, she was still wearing a plain palace dress. Her sleeves were tied up by herself, and her hair was unadorned. Her fine black hair was tied behind her head. Her every movement was a unique style of elegance.
Her outfit was very simple, but it was inexplicably eye-catching. Originally, he didn't think so, but now, he felt that the little girl wasn't any worse than his cousin who had the number one beauty in the capital.
Su Miaolan only thought that he was stunned by her and sneered in her heart. But on the surface, she pretended to be pure and kind. "Shen gege, my mother said you were looking for me for an urgent matter?"
She was shy and didn't dare to look at him. If it was a man who had just awakened to love, he would probably think that he had won the favor of the number one beauty in the capital and be complacent.
For the first time, Shen Shi Ye slightly frowned. If it was GongYimo, even if she was shy, she wouldn't have such a petty appearance.
Then he was startled. Why did he keep thinking of that annoying person?! Moreover, he actually thought that his cousin, who he had a good impression of, was petty? His brain must have been damaged!
"Shen gege?"
Shen Shi Ye's frequent absent-mindedness made Su Miaolan feel that something was wrong.
"En?" Shen Shi Ye reacted and slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot! I came to give you something! "
Speaking of this, Su Miaolan was very curious. Because Shen Shi Ye was rich, he would always find something that couldn't be seen normally and give it to her. Therefore, every time at the tea party, she would always be in the limelight.
But she didn't expect that this time, he would take out something very familiar. Su Miaolan looked at it in a daze. Sure enough, it was the two-sided rich peony that she had personally embroidered!
The peony was the king of flowers. At that time, she had given this very satisfied embroidery to the crown prince on his birthday in the name of her family.
First, it could let her gege see her talent. Second, this thing was useless to the crown prince. With the crown prince's filial piety, this painting would definitely end up in the hands of the empress. It could be considered as leaving a good impression on her mother-in-law in advance.
But she didn't expect the crown prince to give it to the Chaoyang Princess!
Thinking of this Chaoyang Princess, she had once seen her from afar.
That day, the weather was clear. She followed her mother into the palace to visit Imperial Concubine Long. On the official road, they met the princess' sedan chair, so she hurriedly knelt to the side to let the princess pass first.
She was so favored … The other concubines only dared to use small sedan chairs for four people in the palace. But because she said it was too stuffy, His Majesty specially gave her a large sedan chair with sixteen people hanging on top! Coming from afar, it was like a floating muslin pavilion, luxurious and unparalleled.
On the head was a golden colored glass lid, dazzling people's eyes under the sunlight. And the four sides of the veil were covered with overlapping layers of silk, decorated with pearls and precious stones, floating dreamily.
It was said that this sedan chair was made by the Ministry of Works in four months. Sitting on it, one wouldn't feel stuffy or bumpy at all. It was really a supreme honor.
Su Miaolan knelt, feeling unreconciled in her heart. They were both women, but why was she so high and mighty, while she, the number one beauty in the capital, could only kneel on the ground like weeds to make way for her? She didn't even look at her.
Then she thought of how the Crown Prince, whom she adored, was also very special to her. So much so that when she said she liked him, the Crown Prince gave her the embroidery he had been working on for a year.
That unreconciled feeling became stronger and stronger. So much so that when the sedan chair passed by, Su Miaolan couldn't help but raise her head to take a look. A gust of wind lifted the floating veil, and the dream-like blue gently rose up like smoke, revealing the side profile of the person sleeping soundly in the palanquin. She saw it right in the face.
The Chaoyang Princess was only eleven years old, but the side of her face was so beautiful that it was too much and too little. With her eyes closed, she didn't look as arrogant and domineering as the rumors said. Instead, she was quiet and magnanimous. With one glance, people would know that she was the endlessly favored Princess!
Su Miaolan suddenly felt a sense of crisis. When this Princess grew up, perhaps the title of the number one beauty in the capital would no longer belong to her.
Previously, when she learned that the Princess was abolished, she was happy for a few days! She was still the pearl in the Marquis' palm, while the Princess fell from the clouds into the mud. It was said that a fallen Phoenix was inferior to a chicken. She didn't have to worry about her limelight being stolen anymore.
Now, this embroidery was in her hands … Her eyes flashed, and she asked gently,
"Brother Shen … Didn't this embroidery fall into the hands of the Chaoyang Princess? How come it's with you? You … have seen the Chaoyang Princess? "
She was secretly delighted. At that time, Shen Shi Ye said that he would avenge her if he had the chance. Could it be that he stole this embroidery?
Her heart was gloating, but her mouth was anxious, "Brother Shen, you didn't do anything to the Princess, did you?!"
