Seeing Su Yingxueâs arrival, Su Miaoyan still held a kite. She winked at her, âSister, go ahead. iâll wait for you here. Just donât forget to come back and pick me up!â
Su Yingxue held her little face and rubbed it against her. âOkay, when we get back, iâll have someone make you green plum cakes to eat!â
âGood!â
Su Miaoyanâs crisp and sweet laughter reached Xiao Yuâs ears.
He looked at Xiao Si. âGreen plum cakes.â
âWhat? Young Master, what did you say? Green plum cakesâ¦â
Xiao Si saw Xiao Yuâs gaze fall on Su Miaoyan and suddenly understood that this was Su Miaoyanâs favorite!
Goodness, his young masterâs hearing was so good. He wanted to hear it just now, but he didnât hear it!
Xiao Siâs admiration for Xiao Yu increased a little.
Su Miaoyan held a kite in her hand and ran towards Xiao Yu with a smile. âHandsome Brother, the weather is so good today. Letâs go to Fenghua Garden to fly kites. We can fly them high there!â
Xiao Yu wanted to agree but heard Su Miaoyan say, âCan you let Xiao Si bring another kite? The Ninth Prince is still waiting for me. Letâs fly them together!â
This sentence caused Xiao Yuâs expression to change instantly.
He put his clenched fist to his mouth and coughed lightly. âI wonât go.â
âWhatâs wrong? Handsome Brother, are you not feeling well?â
Su Miaoyan squatted in front of Xiao Yu with concern.
Xiao Si looked at his young master who was perfectly fine. He said with a regretful expression, âSigh, the Young Master is sick all year round and rarely goes out to play. Miss Miaoyan doesnât know how hard it is for the Young Master!â
âSince you want to play with the Ninth Prince, go ahead.â Xiao Yu rubbed Su Miaoyanâs head and said gently.
Su Miaoyan exclaimed, âAh! Then Iâll accompany you, Handsome Brother! The Ninth Prince can play alone. Iâll get some colored paper and fold paper cranes for you!â
Su Miaoyan ran out in small steps. The sunlight danced on her body, and the mottled light and shadow made her glow like a jumping elf.
Xiao Yuâs eyes, which had always been calculating, had a touch of brilliance.
At the Ninth Princeâs Mansion, Su Yingxue recalled being taken away without explanation by her grandfather yesterday. Chu Yihan must have felt terrible, so she secretly wanted to give him a surprise.
Just as she was about to rush into Chu Yihanâs study, Mo Qi told her, âMiss Su, Your Highness has something important to discuss. Why donât you⦠wait a minute?â
Although he had never made Su Yingxue wait, the situation was serious this time, and Mo Qi didnât dare to let her in.
Moreover, Su Yingxue probably wouldnât be happy to see the people inside.
Su Yingxue felt a little disappointed, but she still knew the big picture. She said, âThen Iâll wait for Your Highness in the front hall.â
Mo Qi smiled. âIâll inform you immediately after Your Highness is done talking.â
Su Yingxue strolled to the front hall. The old steward entertained her and laid out a dazzling array of tea and snacks.
âMiss Su, Your Highness prepared these long ago. Take a look and see if they suit your taste. If you donât like them, Iâll have another chef prepare something for you next time.â
The old stewardâs smile was very kind and made Su Yingxue feel warm.
Su Yingxueâs eyes curved. âThank you.â
She could tell that these were all carefully prepared and tasted very good.
The old steward was afraid she would be bored alone, so he even brought out a variety of designs for her to choose from. âThese are all prepared for Your Highnessâs wedding. These are the patterns of silk, silk flowers, the word âhappiness,â and red silk. Take a look and see which ones you like. You chose them yourself, and Your Highness will surely like them too..â
