CHAPTER 118 (1): ETING YUN RUOFENG AGAIN
After washing the coarse clothes, Su Xi-er hung the clothes on the bamboo pole by the side. She then patted the hem of her clothes. I can only stay and behave in the posthouse today.
Placing the wooden basin in her room, Su Xi-er headed for the dining hall. She quickly ate the leftover congee and side dishes before putting down her chopsticks, noticing that the female cook had entered the dining hall in all smiles.
"I told you to co over for breakfast, but there is only so congee and side dishes left. Co over earlier in the afternoon. I will specially cook a dish for you." The female cook said while cleaning up the cutleries.
"You’re too kind Auntie, but I am not picky with food. I eat anything, so you don’t have to specially make sothing for ."
"How can that do? You are such a bright and beautiful lass; I’ve taken a liking to you since the first ti I saw you. If nothing had happened back then, my daughter would probably be around your age." At this point, the female cook started grieving.
Su Xi-er approached the female cook and gently patted her on the shoulder. "Auntie, the food you cook is delicious. I will co over earlier in the afternoon and wait for your food to be ready."
Madam Cook bead with a smile and nodded repeatedly. "Alright."
Su Xi-er wore a smile. Seeing will undoubtedly remind Auntie of her own daughter and cause her to beco sorrowful.
Just then, an imperial guard entered the dining hall. "Auntie, quickly prepare so of your signature pastries. Prince Yun is here in the posthouse’s main hall, and Prince Hao is not around at the mont"
Upon hearing the words ‘Prince Yun’, the female cook imdiately beca serious. "I will get to it at once." With that, she headed towards the table and started making pastries.
Hearing that Prince Yun was here, Su Xi-er thought to herself, Pei Qianhao is not in the posthouse, so why did he still co?
"Su Xi-er, Prince Hao has ordered that you are not allowed to sneak out of the posthouse today. Otherwise, you will be beaten by the planks after you are caught." The imperial guard warned Su Xi-er when he saw her.
This imperial guard wasn’t the sa as the one she saw in the morning. Su Xi-er was slightly depressed. Every imperial guard is repeating this order when they see . I won’t be sneaking out today. They don’t have to repeat these words each ti they see , do they?
Seeing that his words had not elicited any response from Su Xi-er, the guard spoke up again, "Don’t be foolish and ignore Prince Hao’s instructions. Although you were not punished this ti around, the future is always uncertain..."
Unable to bear his relentless nagging, Su Xi-er imdiately cut him off, "No worries, I won’t sneak out. I do take Prince Hao’s orders to heart. All of you don’t have to remind again and again." Su Xi-er then walked out of the dining hall.
The imperial guard was surprised. Reminded again and again? Others told her too? He could understand the rest of the guards. If Su Xi-er angers Prince Hao and he loses his temper, his wrath wouldn’t be limited to punishing just Su Xi-er.
I will just stay indoors today. She thought as she walked towards her room, not expecting that she would run into Yun Ruofeng after only a few steps.
He should be in the posthouse’s main hall, so why did he co to the backyard?
The snake venom still not being fully neutralised, Yun Ruofeng’s lips were still slightly pale. When he saw Su Xi-er, he still managed to form a gentle smile.
The golden rays of the sun shone on him, small halos of light diffusing along his white robes. As usual, his smiling visage gave him an image of overflowing gentleness.
