97. Chapter 97 No Regrets
Spice and fur?
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wan had a plan in her mind. She was worried that she would have no way to purchase spices. However, she did not say anything, and she would wait until the shop was ready.
But Rong Li must be won over first.
Han Yunxi finally selected the jewelry and asked the shopkeeper to deliver it to her house later before leaving with her maid.
Xiang'er, the personal maid, said: "Whatever the young lady wants, they can be sent to the house to pick it up. Why bother going there in person?"
Han Yunxi said: "This is so boring. I just came out to see who else dares to compete with me!"
"Miss, are you talking about the daughters of those princes and ministers?"
Han Yunxi snorted coldly: "They all look forward to marrying the prince, and they are willing to be concubines. I don't know what they are thinking. If the prince inherits the throne in the future, they will be able to change from concubines to concubines, and the sons they will have will be
If there is a possibility of becoming emperor, they will naturally have to put all their efforts into it."
Xiang'er said: "But no matter how many concubines the prince has, the young lady will always be his wife. In the future, only the young lady can be the mother of the world."
"Don't I know that it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but..." Han Yunxi sighed: "But I still hope that I am the only woman beside the prince."
She was about to get on the carriage when the silk handkerchief in her hand fell off in a daze. Xiang'er was about to pick it up for her, but Xiao Jingyu beat her to it.
"Be brave, you can touch Miss's silk handkerchief!" Xiang'er cursed and tried to snatch the silk handkerchief away.
"Xiang'er!" Han Yunxi stopped her, walked over and looked at Xiao Jingyu, "You are not that person..."
Xiao Jingyu cupped his hands and said, "This is Xiao Jingyu!"
"Yes, I remember." Although Han Yunxi knew his identity, she didn't show much respect and only said slightly, "I have met the Seventh Prince."
Xiang'er on the side saluted in panic: "I don't know that I am the seventh prince, so I am very offended."
"Don't blame those who don't know." Xiao Jingyu offered the silk handkerchief with both hands: "Miss's silk handkerchief."
Xiang'er was about to pick it up when Han Yunxi asked, "What are you going to do with the things that fell on the ground?"
Xiang'er quickly took back her hand and said, "Yes, Miss."
"When a silk handkerchief falls on the ground, it becomes an unclean thing." Han Yunxi said to Xiao Jingyu, "The seventh prince just throws it away."
Xiao Jingyu looked at the silk handkerchief in his hand, "This silk handkerchief is exquisitely embroidered. If you don't want it, miss, can you give it to me as a gift?"
Han Yunxi didn't think much about it. Besides, although Xiao Jingyu was not favored, he was still a prince after all, and she couldn't bear to embarrass him in public.
"Seventh Prince, take it if you want! I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you."
After that he got on the carriage.
Xiao Jingyu watched the carriage go away blankly, took out the signature he had picked up earlier, wrapped it in a silk handkerchief and kept it close to his body...
On the carriage, Xiang'er said: "Miss, Xiang'er looks at the seventh prince and seems to admire the lady very much."
Han Yunxi snorted: "Is he worthy?"
"It is said that this seventh prince is not liked by the Holy Emperor. Today, my servant saw that he was dressed simply and had no followers. It seems that the rumors are true."
Han Yunxi looked contemptuous: "If it weren't for the fact that I followed my father to the palace during the Qianqiu Festival last year and met him from afar, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered to talk to him just now."
…
After drinking tea with Rong Li, Zhuang Wan almost froze with laughter. After all, she had to show some sincerity when asking for help, even if she had to pretend.
Rong Li, on the other hand, speaks and behaves very calmly, and can talk about anything with great interest.
When Zhuang Wan was drowsy, he asked casually:
"Since the girl and General Li are from the same hometown, could it be that they were childhood sweethearts and grew up together?"
"Not really." Zhuang Wan thought for a moment, "In total, we should have known each other for half a year."
"Half a year?" Rong Li was slightly surprised.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "We've already talked about getting married after knowing each other for half a year. It shows that you two have a deep love for each other."
Zhuang Wan smiled and said nothing.
Then she chatted with Rong Li about some innocuous topics and then made excuses to leave.
As expected, Yan Cheng kept his word and didn't come back for several days. Zhuang Wan couldn't help but start to worry about him.
"You really won't come back if you don't come back!" She turned the wooden dragonfly in her hand, "Huh, if you can, never come back."
"Sister!" Mu Qiulan knocked on the door.
Zhuang Wan quickly put the wooden dragonfly back under the pillow and opened the door.
"Sister, I made some sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Please try it."
Zhuang Wan looked at the delicate snow-white pastry on the plate, mixed with little golden osmanthus flowers. It looked delicious at first glance.
She couldn't wait to take a piece and put it into her mouth. It was sweet and soft, leaving a fragrance on her lips and teeth.
"You are really capable of anything with your skillful hands." She couldn't help but praise: "I think we will open another restaurant in the future. With your cooking skills, there will definitely be a lot of guests."
"As long as sister likes it." Mu Qiulan said, "I made a lot of these pastries, and I won't be able to finish them in a while. Why don't sister send some to Young Master Li?"
Zhuang Wan hesitated and said, "Isn't he busy?"
In fact, she knew Mu Qiulan's intention. She also understood what Yan Cheng meant that day, which was to give her a few days to think calmly, and then take the initiative to find him after she thought about it.
But she really hasn't decided whether to be with him or not.
"What are you still hesitating about, sister?" Mu Qiulan advised: "It would be a pity for sister to miss such a good man like Mr. Li."
Zhuang Wan sighed: "You don't understand, I'm very confused."
"If my sister likes Mr. Li, she should make up her mind as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. There are many official women in the capital waiting to be married. Mr. Li has great military exploits and extraordinary appearance. There is no telling which day he will be granted marriage by the Holy One. Then my sister will be married.
I regret it so much!"
Zhuang Wan was a little panicked after hearing this, "This...can't be..."
Mu Qiulan said: "Who can say these things accurately!"
Zhuang Wan: "..."
"Okay then! We can't finish this sweet-scented osmanthus cake anyway, so I'll take it to Chen Wujin and the others to try." Zhuang Wan said and quickly found a food box, loaded the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and hurried to the military camp.
Mu Qiulan looked at her cheerful back and sighed. She and Xiao Jingchen had already missed each other, and she didn't want Zhuang Wan to have any regrets anymore.
When Zhuang Wan came outside the military camp, she didn't say she was looking for Yan Cheng, but only said she was looking for Chen Wujin, so that she could ask about Yan Cheng's situation and not be embarrassed face to face.
Chen Wujin only heard that he was looking for a girl with an interesting appearance. For this reason, Bai Qilang teased him a little, saying that he didn't know whose girl was blind and fell in love with him.
When he came out and saw Zhuang Wan, he was startled and quickly pulled her to a secluded corner of the wall, "Zhuang Wan... no, sister Zhuang Wan, why are you here? It will be troublesome if you are recognized."
Zhuang Wan said: "Do you think that with my current appearance, others can imagine that I am the Zhuang Wan who left the camp and returned to his hometown?"
"This..." Chen Wujin smiled honestly: "Not to mention other people, even the few people we get along with day and night can't tell."
"That won't work." Zhuang Wan paused and asked, "Well... what is Li Daniu doing?"
"Oh~ So you came to see General Li." Chen Wujin said, "But he is not in the camp at the moment, otherwise I would have called him for you."
"Then where did he go?"
"We've entered the palace!" Chen Wujin said, "We just left not long ago."
Zhuang Wan panicked, "Why is he going to the palace for such a good person?"
"It seems that the Holy One has summoned me. I guess I will be rewarded with something!"
You don’t really want to grant him a marriage, do you?
Chen Wujin saw that she looked strange and said hurriedly: "Are you looking for him for something urgent? He just left not long ago, maybe you can catch up with her."
