Chapter 118 Received a New Dress
Xin Moyan was numb, completely numb. She couldn't understand it. Wasn't this Prince Xuan still as cold and aloof as he was in the milk tea shop? How did he become a completely different person as soon as he got into the carriage, and even kissed her... twice!
"Miss, are you alright? Just now in the car..."
Before Cailian could finish speaking, Xin Moyan quickly reacted and, taking advantage of the fact that Hua Buyu's carriage hadn't arrived yet, hurriedly instructed the two of them, "Cailian, Sister Hongluan, please don't mention what just happened, especially Buyu and Brother."
“Miss, the master has instructed me to protect you. The incident happened so suddenly that Hongluan was unable to get in and take you away in time. I will seek punishment from the master. As for the Xuanwang’s rudeness towards you, I will also inform the master.”
“No! Sister Hongluan, don’t say it,” Xin Moyan repeated, following Yuan Huaixuan’s earlier plan. “If this matter blows up, my reputation in the capital will be even worse. Then everyone will say that Princess Danhua is not good enough for Prince Lie, and now that Prince Xuan has returned to the capital, she shamelessly tries to seduce him. And brother will definitely be furious…”
As Xin Moyan spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and she said with a wronged expression, "My reputation is already bad enough, and I really don't want to see my brother offend the royal family again and again because of me."
"Miss, please stop crying, Sister Hongluan, please agree to Miss's request!" Cailian quickly took out her handkerchief and tenderly wiped the corners of her eyes, pleading with Hongluan on behalf of her young mistress. She knew that Hongluan always only obeyed the young master's orders.
“This… but Miss, that Prince Xuan was so disrespectful to you, he should be taught a lesson.” Hongluan hesitated, but what had just happened was indeed serious, and she couldn’t just stand by and watch her mistress be taken advantage of.
"It's alright, Sister Hongluan. I'll be entering the palace tomorrow and I'll find a way to get revenge. Just don't tell my brother, okay?"
"Understood, Miss. I'm sorry, it was Hongluan who failed to protect you."
"Don't say that, you all..."
"Yan Yan! Why did you all get off the bus?"
Before she knew it, Hua Buyu's carriage had arrived. She stared at the three of them in confusion. Why did he kick Yan Yan out of the carriage?
“I think you should be feeling better, so please ask to get off the carriage!” Xin Moyan said as Hongluan helped her into the carriage.
"Strange! That guy doesn't seem like the type to leave three weak women like you standing alone on the road waiting for a car."
"Uh... Buyu, when we get back to the manor later, don't tell your brother about Yuan Huaixuan, I'm afraid he'll misunderstand."
"Oh!" Hua Buyu was still unaware that Xin Moyan's respectful address to someone had already changed to their full name.
"Yan Yan, what were you talking about in the car just now? Did you have a good time?"
"...It's just a ride, there's nothing unpleasant about it. By the way, Bu Yu, the lemons you mentioned a few days ago, do they actually have this fruit around here?"
"Yes! Wait a few more days, there were some minor issues with the batch from not long ago..."
Xin Moyan quickly changed the subject, not wanting to talk about that shameless prince anymore.
"Your Highness, the Princess has gone far away."
"Ah."
A white figure stood atop a teahouse, his white horse and carriage already driven away to wait in the distance, and he hadn't left the place since.
Liu Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, just now the little maid next to the princess seemed to be wiping away the princess's tears."
"I am not blind."
"..." Liu Qing was helpless. What he meant was that someone had made the princess cry, so at least he should feel sorry for her!
At the entrance of the General's Mansion—
Xin Moling noticed that neither of them were there, and was about to lead her horse to the milk tea shop to look for them when she was surprised to find that they had arrived at her doorstep.
"elder brother!"
"Yan'er, your brother was just about to go out to look for you!"
Xin Moling looked up and patted her head. Yan'er looked pretty good today.
"Brother, I asked the kitchen to make you some nourishing soup this morning, you should be feeling better now."
“No need, brother. Yan’er should focus on nourishing her body. And your friend, you can drink it later.”
As Xin Moling spoke, she turned and glanced at Hua Buyu, noticing that she seemed a bit unusual today.
Hua Buyu remained silent after getting out of the car, constantly glancing at Xin Moyan's face, seemingly unintentionally.
"Hua Buyu, what's wrong?"
"Yan Yan, why does your face look red? Are you feeling unwell?"
She frowned, looking Xin Moyan up and down. What had happened between them in the carriage?
"Yes! Yan'er, are you feeling unwell? I also think you look much better today."
Xin Moyan's expression instantly became unnatural, and she stammered, "Perhaps it's because it's too hot today, and I've been stuck in the carriage without any ventilation, so my face is a little red. It'll be fine in a while!"
They then stopped saying anything and continued chatting as they walked towards the mansion...
"Oh! By the way, Cailian, do you still have the jujube paste cake from yesterday? I'd like a few more."
"Yes, Miss Buyu, I specifically asked the kitchen to make extra this morning."
"Cai Lian is still the most considerate."
As the three entered the hall, Xin Moling gestured to the servants below and then said, "Yan'er, your brother had Xixiang Pavilion make several new outfits a few days ago. Tomorrow, when you enter the palace, Yan'er must dress up beautifully so that your aunt will be happy to see you."
"it is good!"
"Me too! Xin Moling, I wear the same few outfits every day, I want new clothes."
"You're a nuisance."
Hua Buyu pouted and said aggrievedly, "I have been orphaned and destitute since childhood and have been wandering for many years. I thought that after meeting Yan Yan, my life would be better, but I never expected that I would not even be worthy of a new set of clothes."
Xin Moling glanced at her sideways but didn't respond.
Before long, a dozen servants brought up mahogany trays, which contained several sets of dresses. The styles were all new designs from Xixiang Pavilion, mostly in white. Xin Moling noticed that his sister kept choosing white dresses, and there were also a few fiery red dresses. Of course, he would never admit that these were prepared for Hua Buyu.
"Wow! So beautiful, Xin Moling, I love these outfits. They perfectly suit my beautiful and charming temperament. Can you give them to me?"
Hua Buyu held up a dress in her hand, as alluring as fire. The collar was sewn with gold thread, and the waist was also embroidered with flamboyant and dazzling peonies in gold thread. The red was flamboyant, and the gold was noble. This dress was completely to Hua Buyu's heart, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
"Hua Buyu, I'll emphasize again: when you enter the palace tomorrow, you are not allowed to cause trouble, and you are not allowed to take Yan'er running around."
"Okay! Yan Yan, let me see your skirt..."
The two were overjoyed to receive their new clothes and tried on several outfits, letting their older brother see them in advance.
