Chapter 126 Reward
He Ru bowed to them and followed Qin Qianan.
A large group of people left again.
The remaining people looked at each other.
I couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
He Ru did not understand the character of Princess Chang'an, so she had to listen more and talk less.
But there are still rumors among the people. It is said that the princess did not get married because she kept many lovers and even often stayed in Qingfeng Pavilion.
She had an affair with Zhao Yingru, the eldest son of Zhao Lei, the Minister of Personnel, which caused a sensation for a time. Everyone thought that Princess Chang'an would appoint Zhao Yingru as her husband.
But in the end it came to nothing.
Seeing that He Ru was walking behind, Qin Qianan stayed where he was and waited for her to come forward.
He Ru walked to her left and stopped behind her.
"Princess Chang'an, do you have any instructions?"
Qin Qianan smiled and said, "Miss He is too reserved. Don't be nervous. Just treat her like a sister."
He Ru: "I dare not."
Seeing her like this was very boring. He thought that there was finally a woman who could catch the eye of his royal brother, but it seemed that there was no hope.
He Ru was not interested. The whole process was introduced by the senior palace maid beside Princess Chang'an. He Ru listened carefully. Qin Qian'an only said a few words from time to time, and asked a few questions intentionally or unintentionally. He Ru said that she knew nothing.
It's sunny and not fun at all.
After walking for a while, Princess Chang'an suggested taking He Ru to visit her residence on the grounds of feeling unwell.
He Ru: Thank you for the invitation. I’m not interested, but can I not go just because I’m not interested?
Obviously not.
Several people got on the carriage to leave the palace.
After shaking for a long time, they finally arrived at the princess's mansion.
As soon as they arrived at the door, someone came out to greet them. It was none other than those concubines.
A handsome and charming man in cool clothes took Princess Chang'an's arm and walked in.
Princess Chang'an pretended to be angry: "You are so good, Ye Yi, can't you see that I have guests here? Go down and tell them to get ready first."
The person named Ye Yi walked away gracefully. Yes, it was graceful and elegant.
……
It was the senior palace maid again who explained every flower and tree, every pavilion and building in the princess's mansion.
Finally, we stayed in the octagonal pavilion where the lotus flowers were in full bloom.
"Miss He, look at how my lotus is blooming."
He Ru: "It is hollow inside and straight outside, without vines or branches. Its fragrance spreads even further, and it stands tall and clean. In my opinion, it is both noble in character and beautiful and fragrant. It is clear that Princess Chang'an has taken good care of it."
Princess Chang'an seemed pleased by her words: "Hahaha! Great, great, great! A perfect example of a plant that is straight and hollow inside and out, without branches or vines, with a fragrance that spreads even further, standing tall and pure. Where did you learn these words?"
He Ru: "I just happened to see it in a book and thought it was relevant to this lotus, so I wrote it down. Now it seems I was right."
Princess Chang'an stopped laughing and asked her, "Why do you say that?"
He Ru: "It is an honor for these words to be appreciated by Princess Chang'an."
She was not modest at all and agreed directly: "Miss He is right, hahaha!"
He Ru smiled apologetically.
After a moment: "Hahaha, Miss He, do you think I'm too arrogant?"
He Ru: Is being a little bit immodest enough to be considered arrogant? Not necessarily!
"How could that be? Princess Chang'an is not arrogant, she is confident."
After a while, he thought to himself, "This confidence is appropriate. The next time someone dares to call me arrogant, I will definitely refute him like this."
He Ru agreed, "It's possible they say that because they have such low self-esteem that they can't stand seeing others be confident and bright. In my opinion, this is also a disguised compliment."
Princess Chang'an suddenly stopped smiling and her expression became serious, which scared He Ru, fearing that he had said something she didn't like.
Who would have thought she would say, "Miss He, you're just talking nonsense, trying to make me happy. I've never been so happy in my life. They all say I'm spoiled and unruly. No one wants to get close to me, and even the compliments they give me are so heartless."
"You're the only one who seems to be genuinely praising me."
He Ru: Ha, ha ha! I said it was a coincidence, do you believe me? Also, please stop talking, I don't want to know too much.
"No, I think you are very kind, Princess. Even though you were feeling unwell just now, you waited for me for a long time after I finished my stroll before returning home. Now you are even more patient and accompany me to appreciate the lotus flowers."
"You are obviously considerate and kind. Those who say bad things about you must have only been with you for a short time and don't understand you. They just lack the eyes to discover beauty."
Halfway through, He Ru was extremely scared, afraid that she would think she was mocking her, after all, she had just pretended to be uncomfortable so fakely.
But since I had already said it, I had no choice but to continue and see how she reacted.
Princess Chang'an didn't dwell on the question: "A pair of eyes that discover beauty?"
"Yes! It's such a shame that they didn't even notice someone as beautiful and kind-hearted as the princess. They missed a great opportunity to improve their own moral character."
"What about improving moral character?"
……
He Ru's conversation went on and on, and he managed to make Princess Chang'an happy.
Forced her to stay for dinner.
He Ru declined, saying that she had disturbed her for too long and it was not appropriate to bother her any further.
Then Princess Chang'an insisted on rewarding her.
What is the reward?
A concubine!
He Ru: Although, we are not familiar with each other yet.
Naturally I don’t want it.
He then rewarded them with some gold, silver and jewelry.
Princess Chang'an believed that He Ru had the potential to be a lackey, and she sent her as a lover in order to win her over. Although she failed this time, she would definitely try again next time.
He Ru: So tired! I know how to flatter her now. Why didn’t I realize before that I was flattering her?
But I was happy to see a large cart of rewards.
Very happy, the princess is so generous.
Hahaha! Suddenly it became a happy day.
It is a happy day for He Ru, but it may be a tiring day for others.
The gate of the capital city.
The boy's face was tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and his linen clothes were covered in dust. Even the horse he was riding looked tired.
He waited quietly at the city gate for a while before dismounting and leading the way in.
Wandering aimlessly in the streets, not knowing what I was thinking, circling the same place over and over again.
An old lady couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Young man, young man, what happened to you?"
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
At this time, a carriage came towards them, and the red flag fluttering on the carriage was very eye-catching.
Everyone moved to the sides, and the old lady pulled the young man over.
"Young man, come here quickly. Princess Chang'an is not a kind person."
But perhaps his horse was an eyesore, and the coachman who was driving the car outside whipped the horse on its back as he passed by.
The horse neighed, startled by the sudden whipping, and raised its front hooves, showing signs of losing control.
The young man held the reins tightly and waited until the carriage passed by before pulling the horse away from the crowd.
A female voice came from the carriage: "What's going on outside?"
The coachman said: "No problem, a young man is riding a horse in the busy city."
He Ru: Although, this is more or less...
Confusing right and wrong...
"Stop."
The carriage stopped at the sound.
He Ru opened the door and went down.
The young man took great effort to calm the horse, and the crowd stayed away from him for fear of getting into trouble.
After the young man subdued the horse, he didn't think of arguing with the people in the carriage. He walked forward without looking back.
