The Princess's Notebook

After saying that, he did not raise his head and continued to stare at the young lady. She suddenly raised her head in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief. There were also tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was about to fall.

This glance was like a drop of spring water falling into a lake, rippling in circles. Gradually disappearing, only the calm surface of the lake knew she had been there. It was also like a feather passing through the heart, with a slight itch spreading along the eight extraordinary meridians.

Finally, it came out from between her rapid breaths and landed on the young lady's rosy cheek.

Before coming, he was in a hurry and vowed to teach this ignorant young lady a lesson, to teach her a lesson, to make her admit her mistakes, to make her bow her head. It would be best if he could say nice things to make himself happy, just like he did in the past.

But in the end, he just knocked out the annoying shopkeeper Xu and sent him away, and she was seen about to cry.

Before he actually cried, he already looked like a pear blossom in the rain, and I felt pity for him.

Zhao Feiran despised himself several times in his heart, calling himself a useless thing.

But he just stopped being stubborn and said, "He's not dead, don't cry so quickly."

As soon as she finished speaking, tears fell from the corners of the young lady's eyes. She raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Feiran. Her eyes were like autumn water, misty with tears. The wisteria flowers in the garden were reflected in the young lady's eyes, dazzling and dazzling.

She sobbed, "Really?"

The man said angrily: "Why, can I still lie to you? We have known each other for so long, and you have seen me lie to you before."

She wanted to say no, but then she thought about his concealment of his identity and was speechless. Shiqi Niang sobbed twice.

The chirping of birds and cicadas in summer is an extremely irritating place. The young lady's sobs suddenly rang in his ears, and the man suddenly felt that everything around him was far away, and he was alone in the world.

And in front of him, there was a young lady as bright and graceful as the breeze.

"He's here to propose marriage?"

After holding it in for a long time, Zhao Feiran finally asked this question.

Not sure what this man was thinking, Seventeen could only tell the truth.

Seeing this, Zhao Feiran's anger started to boil over again.

He said sarcastically, "You are quite likable!"

"I... am just an ordinary little girl."

The man smiled, "You are ordinary! Do you think I am blind?" He took a deep breath in anger, "That's not what the man said just now. He said that you have known each other for several years and understand each other, and he also said that your life..."

At this point, he hated himself for coming too early, and even more so for being too patient.

As soon as he arrived here, he ordered Sun Du to kill them both.

I really don't understand why this person is angry, but Shiqi Niang is not stupid. She quickly smoothed it over, "No, I met Manager Xu because... I love reading storybooks, and I bought a lot of them from him... I..."

"Very good, but you still don't tell the truth! You are a girl, living under the control of that idiot Wang Kang, how can you afford to buy a book?! I was born rich, but I am not ignorant of the five grains. I also know how much books are worth in the market."

This guy's words were very rude, and Shiqi Niang knew that the lie was outrageous.

"I...I..." What should I do? Shiqi Niang was so anxious that sweat covered her forehead.

"What nonsense do you have to tell me?"

"I'm in a difficult situation, but I have a way to make money! Yes..." Eight hundred ideas suddenly flashed through my mind, "Many of the storybooks in the bookstore were written by me and Manager Xu..."

As they talked, Seventeen didn't dare to look at him, and only dared to keep her eyes on Zhao Feiran's chest. She had met him three or five times and had talked to him a lot, but now she felt that he was tall and much taller than her.

"You!" Zhao Feiran was speechless, not expecting this result. "Even if that's the case, he's just a merchant, he didn't come here to propose marriage for such a small sum of money. Tell me, what else is there between you two!"

Shiqi Niang didn't dare to elaborate and just kept talking about the first half of his sentence.

"Your Highness is indeed born rich, this little bit of silver? Humph! This little bit of silver. Do you know how much silver you are talking about? If I had ten taels of silver a month, my two concubines and I would not live like this. For poor families, silver is the best thing. Your Highness was born rich, how could he really understand poor families?"

"I……"

He knew that her answer was irrelevant, but he saw the pearls in her hair fluttering, and upon closer inspection, they were a little old. Pearl bridge hairpins were the most fashionable items in and around Kyoto in the past few years, and Zhao Feiran had seen many of them. However, the ones he saw were all made of pearls, round and shiny, and matched with the red gold bridge, which was extremely dazzling.

Over the years, many young ladies, whether they knew of his bad temper or not, came and went in front of him.

I have never seen such an ugly hairpin.

The hard life that Manager Xu described must be a hardship that he could not have imagined.

Zhao Feiran suddenly followed his heart and no longer felt awkward.

"You...you will never live like this again."

Shiqi Niang raised her eyes again, blinked away her tears, and looked into Zhao Feiran's eyes.

"In the future? Your Highness has said what will happen to my future, so that's it."

It seems like self-mockery, like self-abandonment, but more importantly, it is a confession of one's helplessness and powerlessness.

Zhao Feiran saw it and felt as if his heart was pierced by a sharp sword.

"I have the final say over your future life."

"Hmph!" Shiqi Niang didn't understand and didn't believe it. She smiled miserably, turned her head and raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"How can Your Highness have the final say? Your Highness has the final say on all matters in the world, except for matters concerning our children. Your Highness has no say on this matter."

Not knowing how to explain, Zhao Feiran only said this. "I am the crown prince, and I have the final say. No one else can interfere."

He spoke carefully, but to Shiqi Niang, his words seemed forced just to save face.

"From ancient times to the present, parents have always made decisions about children's affairs. Even if Your Highness is the crown prince, you cannot bypass your parents to make decisions for others. Your Majesty, I think, would not like to meddle in such trivial matters."

Zhao Feiran's face was filled with astonishment.

Since he met this young lady, she had called him a fool, a jerk, and a jerk so many times, but he didn't think it was a big deal. He didn't expect to meet an even bigger fool now.

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he had already said this. In her opinion, he was arranging a marriage for her.

He… came here in a hurry and pushed Shopkeeper Xu out, just to arrange a marriage for her! ?

Zhao Feiran was so angry that his head hurt.

"How can you know what your Majesty is like?"

"How could I not know? Your Majesty is wise and praised by the world. You have been on the throne for many years and have never worried about anyone's marriage. Although I was born in a humble family, I still know this little thing. Don't lie to me."

Shiqi Niang argued convincingly. As she spoke, the sandalwood niche opened, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, like a pine tree and a crane under the moon.

Zhao Feiran tried hard to calm himself down and not be disturbed by her random words. He just thought that she was talking to him and saying nice things.

Maybe it was because I didn't hear him speak, or maybe the light in his eyes was too hot.

The young lady forgot what she had just said and asked softly, "Why don't you speak?"

"Can't you think of something else?" He looked into her eyes.

"What do you mean by talking about something else?" Shiqi Niang was at a loss.

Zhao Feiran came closer and lowered his head. "You said that I don't have the final say on our children's marriage. Then think about how I can have the final say."

The words were soft and lingering, and his moon-white robe seemed to be inlaid with gold threads, shining and dazzling.

"You want to be His Majesty?"

Shiqi Niang also came closer and whispered as softly as she could.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Feiran suddenly dodged and stepped back. The light that had just faintly flowed between the two of them disappeared completely.

"You are looking for death!" Zhao Feiran shouted loudly.

"You yelled at me!"

"You!" The man spat out a mouthful of blood, "I..."

After a long pause, he said, "You idiot. I won't talk to you." Having said that, he didn't move.

"Just walk, you can't move your legs or something."

"I'll never come back once I leave."

"It's rare. I told you that day that there is nothing between you and me, but you agreed." Shiqi Niang was referring to the visit to the East Palace half a month ago.

Regret? Humph, he is the prince, how could he regret anything!
Zhao Feiran was helpless, "When was it? I don't remember it at all."

"You! You are shameless!"

The man took another step forward, scaring the woman back away. He said, "I am shameless? How dare you say that. If I were shameless, it would be impossible for a merchant like him to come to my door."

For a moment, Shiqi Niang felt like a delicacy in the mouth of a tiger. The world was vast, but there was no place to escape.

"You...you...you said that you would never fall in love with me even if you were blind. You really said that. Don't deny it." When talking about Manager Xu coming to propose marriage, Shiqi Niang's mind started to work.

This is indeed the case, and Zhao Feiran has no way to refute it.

"You...you wait!"

"What am I waiting for?"

Zhao Feiran was so angry that his brain felt like a paste.

"Wait until I find you a suitable man!"

Before he finished his words, he walked away, leaving only a sea of ​​wisteria flowers swaying gracefully in the breeze.

Shiqi Niang didn't know whether what he said was true or not, but since it concerned her future half of life, she felt that she had to fight for it no matter what.

He shouted at Zhao Feiran’s back: “If it’s true, I want someone who has no power or influence!”

"Also, it must be from a small family, with a good temper and a good personality..."

The man turned around and pointed to the sky and cursed: "Shut up!"
