Prince, Marry Me!
Go buy some jade
“Xu Li, you've done what I asked?”
Xu Li nodded her head, “Already, miss.”
“Good.”
Xu Li followed the steps of the miss who remained relaxed in the chaotic situation of the residence, Huang Jian Ying is still sick and will be further investigated what made him sick. The best healer in the country has already been called, in a moment it may be possible to know the cause of his pain. Though tomorrow is Kasim Hong's pick-up day, either so come or not.
This bright morning, instead of drawing up a plan with his mother, Huang Ling Xi had the light task of buying jade. I don't know what his purpose is, but he's still thinking what else his mother's plan is that he doesn't know.
“Nona, why did you ask me to send carnations to Mr Huang's residence?” asked Xu Li curiously.
Huang Ling Xi turned her head and sniffed her shoulders indifferently, “Just want it.” she replied originally, “Yesterday I gave Eunuch Hong a similar but different-colored flower, so now I feel like I have to give flowers to dad too. Carnations are fragrant, beautiful and meaningful flowers.”
“If you don't remember wrong, you give Eunuch Hong bright red flower petals, but why belongs to the master a little pale, whereas there are still many other colors.”
Huang Ling Xi stopped, she stared at the row of peach trees on the right side, if taking that path then she would encounter a beautiful lake and filled with pink lotuses. In the past, little Ling Xi was five years old, often invited by the father to see the lotus blooming.
Deep breaths that would be conditional on disappointment, Huang Ling Xi did not want this sadness to continue to dominate his heart. Instead of crying, Ling Xi was used to smiling, “Every flower has meaning. Like roses symbolizing love, tulips symbolize humility, and white chrysanthemums symbolize death.”
“First time, people love to express their feelings through flowers.”
“Oh, is it like a man carrying roses for his woman?” asked Xu Li enthusiastically.
Huang Ling Xi smiled widely, “Where do you know, Xu Li?”
“Didn't I ever follow miss watching opera, so I can tell, because I really like it when we watch opera mid last year.” Xu Li recalled one of the good things in his life, which Huang Ling Xi had invited to go to Jiangmiang Restaurant, a famous restaurant that was very grand, just to watch soap opera there.
Their journey continued with Xu Li retelling the contents of the opera he had witnessed, even though Huang Ling Xi also remembered it, but she would pretend to forget that Xu Li was excited to tell a story.
A figure like Xu Li was the most precious treasure of his life, Xu Li made Ling Xi no longer they were lonely, Xu Li was always there for him. “Nona, how about we see the jade in Anning Store. He said, big lady also bought jade there.”
“Really?”
“Iya, miss.” Xu Li nodded.
“But it's not mom's subscription store.” the miss argued.
“He said there was quality jade sold there, the ladies of various noble families bought it there.” replied Xu Li, “How about we go have a look first, miss?”
“Alright, let's see.”
Entering the Anning Shop, there were a lot of good jade there. He was also well received by the waiter there, given a selection of high quality jade at a price that was definitely high. Huang Ling Xi was actually not very fond of jewelry shopping activities and so, she preferred to read war tactics books or hunt into the forest catching deer.
After selecting one jade that he saw was quite good again high-priced, Huang Ling Xi paid with ten taels of gold. This was a high price for her, for some reason the mother loved to buy jewelry. Wouldn't it be better if the money was used to buy a rotten arrow.
“Nona Huang, great to see you here!”
“Greetings Miss Huang!” reply Yuan Liu Yin and her daughter, Yuan Yu Mei.
“How's the second miss?” ask again.
“Good.”
Madam Yuan smiled a grin, she looked around to make sure people did not hear them. “How is the mood of the second miss after Huang Jian Ying was chosen as the companion of the crown prince? Very unexpected yes.”
Damnit damnit!
Huang Ling Xi sighed deeply, she should not be entangled in this sly Mistress Yuan trap. “Of course I am happy, brother himself became the companion of the crown prince, will definitely bring the good name of the Huang Family to the future.”
“Really? Don't you also really want to be the crown prince's companion?”
“True.” replied Huang Ling Xi, “To be a companion of the crown prince is of course an honor for me and the Huang Family, but already chosen my brother, then I will be happy.”
Huang Ling Xi was very good at tongue-lightning, Madam Yuan rolled her eyeballs silently. “While Huang Jian Ying is not from a noble mother, why can he be the companion of the crown prince. Does the second miss not feel anything awkward?”
“Mistress Yuan, don't say that, it's not good if others hear it, my brother can get hurt.”
Clever or not good at tongue-lightning, Ling Xi would prove that Yuan Liu Yin had wrongly chosen him to be the enemy. “What second miss is buying jade?” tanyanya diverted the conversation.
“Oh, I'm curious what kind of choice miss Huang.” said, “Definitely very beautiful and high value.”
“I bought for mom, Madam Yuan.” replied Ling Xi.
“For Madam Liu?!” the two eyes of the madam of the Yuan Residence sparkled, she was the second wife of the Yuan general in the left stronghold. Ling Xi was cautious as her mother often warned against getting in touch with people from the left.
These two camps cross each other in the government, if something happens that is not desirable, then the Huang residence will be affected.
The extremely curious Madam Yuan asked Huang Ling Xi to reveal the jade she bought, but Xu Li also did not dare if there had been no order. “Sorry Mrs Yuan, without prejudice to your respect. But, mother alone the owner has not seen, I'm afraid of disappointing mother if she is not the first one to see.”
“This second lady is too tender-hearted, whereas Lady Liu will not be so angry. You must know that your mom and I are friends, right?”
“Of course I know, Mrs Yuan.” replied Huang Ling Xi politely, “Unfortunately I don't know that you and my mother are so close, that we exchanged jade models. I actually heard that you made a fuss at the welcoming party of the prime minister's son and on behalf of the mother who does not know anything.” he replied.
Madam Yuan gritted her teeth but kept trying to calm down, “This second lady spoke what, of course not so.”
“Then how?” huang Ling Xi asked, “But never mind, mom said this was just a misunderstanding. So mother advised me not to bother with this, but the mother's jade is high value until it is lost because it was borrowed by Mrs Yuan.”
Huang Ling Xi smiled sweetly, “Then I say goodbye first, greetings to Madam Yuan and fifth miss.”
Huang Ling Xi passed away, leaving Anning's shop with Madam Yuan whom she had blushed red. He clenched both hands until his knuckles were clearly printed, “Basic haughty boy! We should reply to her another day, Yu Mei!”
“Good, mother.”
