Chapter 288 Yun Yuxi Falls into the Eyes of Money
"Princess, Princess. Slow down and be careful with your step." Lily's voice came anxiously behind her. Yan Lingxi just wanted to escape from the scene at this moment, so she couldn't hear Lily's shouting.
Her mind was filled with the hateful face of that man just now, and his words "What kind of princess are you?", which was simply the biggest insult to her!
On the other side, Jing Zichu and Yan Wuque were walking and talking and laughing while holding the flowers they had picked.
"Zimo, I just met a psychopath who tried to snatch flowers from me and called himself a princess. Let's go, I've picked the flowers and give them to you," Jing Zichu said as he handed the flowers to Yan Wuque.
Yan Wuque took the bouquet but suddenly frowned: "Hey! You deserve to be single. That's the current Sixth Princess Yan Lingxi. You didn't recognize her and dared to call her crazy. Logically speaking, you have participated in the palace banquet before, so there is no reason for you not to recognize the Sixth Princess."
When Jing Zichu heard this, he was stunned: "Ah, it turned out to be the arrogant Sixth Princess. It's terrible. I don't know how to make trouble later. The flowers are ready for you. You can go to your sister-in-law by yourself."
When he thought of the Sixth Princess' unreasonable behavior, Jing Zichu's brows knitted tightly, as if they could pinch a fly to death. He secretly groaned in his heart, what should he do?
Yan Wuque looked at Jing Zichu's nervous expression and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, are you so scared? She's just a sixth princess, what are you afraid of?"
Jing Zichu sighed helplessly: "It's easy for you to say it, but it won't be fun if she gets entangled with you."
"That's right. Lingxi was indeed ignorant before. Don't try to run away. Come on, push me to Nuanyu Pavilion. Don't think I don't know your little plan. The construction of Chengnan needs your sister-in-law's approval!" Yan Wuque said with a smug smile.
Jing Zichu rolled his eyes helplessly, muttering to himself: This guy is getting more and more cunning. But he could only push Yan Wuque to Nuanyu Pavilion obediently.
In Nuanyu Pavilion, Yun Yuxi finally woke up. Banxia carefully helped her wash and dress. After Yun Yuxi had enough sleep, she felt much better, but she was a little hungry. At this time, Banxia brought out the osmanthus cake that Yan Wuque brought back.
The delicate taste made Yun Yuxi's appetite increase greatly. She was savoring the delicious cakes in small bites. Suddenly, Yan Lingxi rushed in like a gust of wind, shouting Yun Yuxi's name loudly. This sudden action scared Yun Yuxi. She was originally enjoying the food, but suddenly she was choked by the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and coughed until tears came out.
Seeing this, Banxia panicked and hurriedly picked up the cup and handed it to Yun Yuxi, patting her back with one hand to try to relieve her discomfort. At the same time, she looked at the culprit, the Sixth Princess Yan Lingxi, with a reproachful look in her eyes.
"Yun Yuxi, what's wrong with you? What's going on? Why are you coughing like this? Banxia, go call a doctor." The Sixth Princess was completely unaware that she was the culprit who caused Yun Yuxi to cough, and she was still asking worriedly.
Yun Yuxi drank a few sips of water, took a deep breath, and finally felt much better. She looked at the Sixth Princess unhappily, "How can you be so crazy every day? And I'm your aunt, and you keep calling me by my name. If your icy uncle knew about it, who would feel good about it? You're a girl, but you don't know how to be reserved at all. You're so impetuous. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake almost choked me to death."
The Sixth Princess listened to Yun Yuxi scolding her with a confused look on her face. She had not yet realized that her sudden appearance had frightened Yun Yuxi.
"You're still not convinced, right? You were yelling at me while I was eating the osmanthus cake. You scared me and the crumbs of the osmanthus cake got stuck in my throat. Just tell me, you're here to eat for free again. I'm not free today," Yun Yuxi felt much better after drinking a few more sips of tea.
The Sixth Princess finally reacted and thought about the purpose of her trip, so she said in a flattering manner, "Hey, auntie, I'm sorry, it was indeed my recklessness. Look, here are five hundred taels of silver. Just think of it as your niece's gift to calm you down. I'll ask Lily to send you some good things later, okay?"
When Yun Yuxi heard about silver, her eyes lit up and she pretended to scold Banxia, "Banxia, why don't you go take the banknotes and give the Sixth Princess some snacks. I want to have a good talk with the Sixth Princess."
"Hmph, little brat. Don't be a fool if you have money. She is so kind that she must want something from me. Let's wait and see what tricks she has up her sleeve," Yun Yuxi complained in her heart.
"Aunt Royal, I want to ask you about someone. Last time I saw a young man in the garden of the palace. He was so handsome. Today I saw him picking flowers in the garden again. Who is this young man? How come I don't know him?" The Sixth Princess said with a blushing face. Yun Yuxi knew that the Sixth Princess was probably in love.
Yan Wuque and the other man who just walked to the door heard this and quickly made a gesture to signal the servants around him to keep quiet, then pulled Jing Zichu to hide in a hidden corner. After the two hid, they began to secretly listen to the conversation between the Sixth Princess and Yun Yuxi.
Yan Wuque secretly thought in his heart that he really hoped Jing Zichu could find his other half as soon as possible. After all, Jing Zichu had been helping him for so many years, and the relationship between them had long surpassed the ordinary feelings of sworn brothers and was more like a close family.
Jing Zichu raised his eyebrows with a proud look on his face, and said to Yan Wuque in a low voice: "What do you think? I'm handsome enough! Even the Sixth Princess couldn't help but praise me!" Yan Wuque rolled his eyes helplessly, motioning him not to speak and continue listening.
At this time, Yun Yuxi pretended to be mysterious and said, "Lingxi, do you really want to know? However, with your mere five hundred taels of silver notes, I'm afraid it's not enough to buy this news~"
She paused and continued, "Of course I know the handsome man you mentioned! To tell you the truth, I have seen his true face with my own eyes. I heard from the prince that his family is planning to arrange a marriage for him~" At this point, she suddenly covered her mouth, as if she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag.
Jing Zichu was speechless in the dark. He knew that his sister-in-law Yun Yuxi loved money, but he didn't expect that Yun Yuxi would sell him out for banknotes. He felt a little sympathetic for Yan Lingxi who fell into Yun Yuxi's trap. Yun Yuxi's heart was black, like a piece of cotton.
"Aunt Imperial, just tell me how much silver you want. It's just some silver. This princess does have some family background. Yes, I just like that handsome guy. You don't even know that he is like a banished immortal. Oh, I won't say more. My heart is pounding now." Yan Lingxi touched her red face. She didn't feel embarrassed at all. She felt that one should be bold in love and hate.
"You are the better one. How about this? I will take care of the three thousand silver notes," Yun Yuxi looked like a fox, which made Jing Zichu in the dark roll his eyes. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law would buy him three thousand silver notes.
"Deal. Deal." The Sixth Princess made the decision immediately, fearing that Yun Yuxi would ask for too much again.
"Give it here," Yun Yuxi stretched out her hand with a determined look.
"Here, here, hurry up and tell me, I have to go back to the palace soon. I sneaked out today, and if I were discovered, my father would scold me to death." Yan Lingxi asked Baihe to take the banknote in a bad mood.
Yun Yuxi took the banknote and counted it calmly. Yan Lingxi didn't dare to urge her, for fear that Yun Yuxi would cause trouble.
"Him, Jing Zichu, the prince of Ningguo, the leader of the four young masters of Kyoto, don't say you don't know him. Hahaha, now you have the money, Yan Lingxi, you can go, I'm sleepy, I've already told you," Yun Yuxi said with a yawn.
"Yun Yuxi, you are kidding me. Of course I know the Fourth Young Master of Kyoto. I have met the Fourth Young Master before. How come he is different?" The Sixth Princess asked in disbelief.
"Idiot, that's not him in person. He hasn't participated in any poetry or flower gatherings for years. What you saw today was the real him.
"Aunt, dear aunt, I'm really moved. Can you find a matchmaker for me? Please, my heart is pounding when I see him. I haven't had an appetite since the last time I saw him from afar. "The Sixth Princess said pitifully.
In the dark, Jing Zichu had a bad feeling and was about to run away when he heard Yun Yuxi shouting, "Zichu, you're here, come in with the prince."
