Chapter 145: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
In the past few days, Lu Zhiyan seemed to be trying to avoid her. Even after finishing his treatment, he would immediately let Zimu and Ziyang take him away, and he seemed unwilling to stay for even a second.
Ye Zhenzhen knew that he was still angry about what happened that night. Well, men are bound to get angry when their desires are unfulfilled.
It just so happened that she didn't have much time these days and was concentrating on practicing horse riding and archery.
……
On the day of the banquet, Ye Zhenzhen got up early and got herself dressed.
She picked out a bright red dress. The little fox liked red, and she cleverly thought that this bright color would look stunning against the green grass.
"Madam, which lip balm do you want to use?" Qiao'er looked at the beauty in the mirror and couldn't help but be stunned. With a little makeup, the young lady had a kind of enchanting beauty.
Especially these bright colors are especially suitable for young ladies.
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the various colors, picked up a bright red lip balm, and applied it in front of the mirror.
The beauty in the mirror was wearing a red riding suit, red lipstick, and a towering ponytail, looking heroic.
Qiao'er praised at the right time, "Madam, you look particularly powerful when you dress like this."
She doesn't look like the timid lady she used to be.
The carriage was already waiting at the door. Logically speaking, Ye Zhenzhen and Lu Zhiyan should ride in the same carriage.
Ye Zhenzhen looked around but didn't see Lu Zhiyan. She asked the housekeeper, "Where's the prince? Why hasn't he come out?"
"Madam, the prince asked you to go first, he will be here soon." The butler replied respectfully.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Ye Zhenzhen's eyes, and Lu Zhiyan guessed that he was still angry with her.
But it doesn't matter, as long as everything today goes as she expected, their relationship will definitely improve.
After getting on the carriage, Ye Zhenzhen was in a good mood and looked outside from time to time. She had been locked up in the mansion for the past few days practicing riding and shooting, and she was really bored.
The Duke's Mansion was not far from the Princess's residence, and it only took half an hour to get there. There were many carriages parked in front of the mansion gate, all lined up, waiting for the servants from the Princess's residence to come out and pick them up.
The fox didn't like queuing, so she leaned on the cushion and took a nap for a while. When Qiao'er woke her up, another half hour had passed.
"Madam, madam, it's time to get off the carriage."
Ye Zhenzhen yawned, rubbed her eyes, and then straightened her wrinkled clothes and headdress. A bony hand reached in from outside the carriage and lifted the curtain for her.
"The Crown Princess..."
It was a man's voice, cold and with a hint of nervousness. Ye Zhenzhen paused and looked at Qiao'er in confusion. She didn't remember there was such a rule.
Since when do you need to be escorted after getting off the carriage?
Is this the new rule?
She glanced at Qiao'er calmly, and Qiao'er immediately bent down and reached out to support her, saying with a smile, "Miss, let this servant hold your hand."
Qi Sili's hand froze in the air for a moment before he retracted it and said with a smile, "I apologize for being rude. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."
Ye Zhenzhen lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw a moon-white robe. Looking up, she saw an elegant and handsome face. He was holding a jade fan and standing beside the carriage. He had the air of a gentleman as beautiful as jade and unparalleled in the world.
She got off the carriage and saluted him, "Greetings, young master."
Qiao'er was a little confused. They had never seen the young master before, so how did the lady know that this was the young master? She quickly followed suit and bowed.
At a banquet like this, the young master didn't need to come out to greet guests. Firstly, he was of noble status, so he naturally didn't need to come out to greet guests. Secondly, he still had to make decisions on all matters in the mansion.
Seeing him come out, many people around him cast curious glances at him, most of them were inquiring. They were all smart people, so they could naturally see that the young master had come out specifically to greet this person.
Everyone's eyes kept wandering over the two of them.
Qi Sili waved the jade fan in his hand, his eyes lowered with a smile: "Don't be polite, Princess. I will take you in."
Qi Sili was handsome, with his phoenix eyes slightly tilted upwards, and a hint of suppressed affection in his lowered eyes. The belt around his waist was made of gold and jade, and paired with the silk headband on his head, he looked extremely noble.
A child of destiny, a flower on the mountain top.
Ye Zhenzhen smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for troubling me, young master."
Qi Sili folded his fan and said with a smile, "You're welcome. I've long heard that the Crown Prince's Consort is renowned for her virtue. Seeing is believing. It's my great honor to meet you today."
Ye Zhenzhen smiled but said nothing.
She thought to herself, this young master is really good at flattering. The original owner never left the house, and Aunt Zhou wanted to lock her up in the mansion so that no one would know that the Ye family had such a young lady.
How could she have such a good reputation? This young master is really a man of appearances, and he has a lot of polite words to say.
After a while, the two arrived at the banquet venue.
The young master's eyes remained on Ye Zhenzhen. He reluctantly looked away for a moment, then smiled and guided her to a seat: "This is where Madam sits. If Madam needs anything, you can send a servant to find me."
As soon as he finished speaking, several young masters from noble families who were on good terms with the young master came to them.
The second son of the Shangshu family half-closed his eyes, looked at Ye Zhenzhen, smiled and bumped into Qi Sili, "Of course, young master. This is the young lady of that family. She looks very beautiful, unlike the ones who were pestering you before. I heard that you were brought here from the door, so we came to see her specially."
Ye Zhenzhen was dressed brightly today. The bright red clothes and fiery red lips made her look particularly beautiful.
Her fair skin seems as delicate as a baby's, her delicate eyebrows and eyes are as exquisite as a landscape painting, and her whole beauty is dazzling and intense.
Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyes and glanced at a few people, with a hint of sneer in her eyes. She was too lazy to pay attention to these frivolous young masters from aristocratic families. She just knelt slightly in greeting and then sat down directly.
Her focus is on Lu Zhiyan, and she doesn't care about these people.
Qi Sili originally wanted to leave a good impression in front of the beauty. Although he was on good terms with these people, he had never had any interest in those women who came to his door.
These people didn't know that Ye Zhenzhen was different from other women. They just thought she was prettier than other women and didn't know what position Ye Zhenzhen held in Qi Sili's heart.
Seeing Ye Zhenzhen sitting down without saying a word, the second young master of the Shangshu Mansion felt that he was being ignored, and his face instantly darkened. Even if she had gained some face in front of the young master, she was really too ungrateful.
The remaining few people around him didn't seem to notice the change in Qi Sili's expression, and they also started to continue to stir up trouble.
One of them took a step forward, standing in front of Ye Zhenzhen. He looked her up and down, pondered for a moment, and then teased, "Young lady, you're dressed so strikingly, yet now you look so aloof and aloof. It's really surprising. Could it be... that you're doing it on purpose? I really admire you. You're truly brilliant. I bow down to you."
