C11 (2/2)
Jiang Wan shouted in her heart, but the moment she opened her mouth, her reply was: ”I don't recognize her.”
She was only the daughter of a small official seeking recovery. How could she possibly know the exalted Crown Prince Jin?
At this moment, Jiang Wan felt her heart bleeding.
”Oh?” Xiao Rui stood there, his hair a dark green, his skin fair, his eyes dark like jade, and his eyebrows raised slightly in high spirits. He was dressed in a white, dark flower pattern, and his stature was tall and straight, though he had a sickly look on his face, it did not affect his noble young master's demeanor in the slightest.
Jiang Wan admitted that she was a bit lost in thought at that moment.
He suddenly bent down and picked up something from the ground.
Only now did Jiang Wan realize that the handkerchief in her hand had unknowingly fallen to the ground, and it was now in Xiao Rui's hands.
She wanted to ask for her handkerchief, but Xiao Rui took it in his hand and started observing it.
What was going on?
Jiang Wan's face turned pale as she watched.
The personal belongings of a girl in a pavilion were actually in the hands of an unfamiliar man. If they were to be used by someone as an example to him, she might end up in a worse state than she had in her previous life.
”What is it embroidered with?” However, Xiao Rui Xuan seemed to be unaware of this. He frowned as he looked at the crooked embroidery on the handkerchief, not knowing whether it was a word or a flower.
”He's really ugly!” He pulled the handkerchief and looked at it over and over, then twitched his mouth and said.
This handkerchief was Jiang Wan's first and only work since she came to the Great Liang Dynasty. Due to her poor craftsmanship, she only embroidered the word ”Wan” on a corner of the handkerchief.
”Who wants you to look!?” Hurry up and return it to me! ” The slightly angry Jiang Wan couldn't care less about the taboo for both men and women. He immediately jumped up and snatched the handkerchief from Xiao Rui's hands.
However, Xiao Rui Xuan seemed to have already expected that she would use this move. He held the handkerchief up high and danced in the air for a bit before stuffing it into the sleeve of his other hand.
”You … ”How can you be such a scoundrel!” Seeing that it was hopeless to snatch the handkerchief back, Jiang Wan was so anxious that tears almost flowed. In a moment of desperation, she stomped heavily on Xiao Rui's foot without a care, to vent the hatred in her heart.
In pain, Xiao Rui Xuan also let out a loud shout, causing the people outside the forest to shout: ”Who's there!”
Jiang Wan's expression tightened, recognizing that it was Crown Prince Xiao Rui Zhao's voice.
Crap! She thought to herself that things weren't looking good. She had been too impulsive just now, and if someone were to find out that she and Xiao Rui were a boy and a girl alone here, then there would be no room for debate.
”Shh!” Xiao Rui pressed his large hands on her shoulders and whispered, ”Don't talk!”
With that, he said loudly: ”Your Highness, it's me!”
He randomly picked a plum blossom and was about to walk out when he suddenly turned his head towards Jiang Wan and said with a smile, ”My name is Xiao Rui Xuan, what about you?”
”Ginger...” Jiang Wan … ” Jiang Wan, who only thought of getting him to quickly go outside and take that person away, reported her name without even thinking.
