"Mock you? I wouldn’t dare!"
Zhao Hongqian sat right next to Cui Wei without any hesitation and knocked her forehead with a playful flick. "You mischievous girl! Last ti you tried sneaking out of the palace in Little Eunuch’s clothes, and now you’re thinking of crawling through a dog hole! Are you trying to give up being a princess? Do you even know how to write the word ’sha’?!"
Dog hole?
Cui Wei panicked, "Did Mingwei tell you? I knew he wasn’t reliable. He promised not to tell Mother, yet he went and tattled! How infuriating, I’m so mad!"
Ha!
Zhao Hongqian pointed to the empty chair next to him, signaling Su Tianyou to sit down. He didn’t forget to continue chiding his overly mischievous sister, "Do you even have the nerve to say that? If I didn’t have so rapport with Mingwei, your disgraceful antics would have been public by now!"
After all, it’s because of the Eldest Prince’s authority!
Cui Wei rolled her eyes, and her fondness for Mingwei vanished instantly.
Suddenly, her delicate little nose twitched once, then twice!
"Wow! Lady Chang’s chestnuts!"
Cui Wei guessed right. The aroma was indeed from Lady Chang’s chestnuts.
Su Tianyou pushed the paper-wrapped package towards Cui Wei with a doting smile, "Cui Wei, your nose is the most sensitive. I even made sure to tightly fasten the paper, but you still slled it out!"
"Of course! Lady Chang’s chestnut scent, I can sll it from far away!"
With a swift motion, she tore open the package and eagerly popped a chestnut into her mouth.
Lady Chang’s chestnuts were the best, sweet and sticky with a delightful aroma. Even though Cui Wei had tasted every delicacy in the palace, she still couldn’t resist the allure of these chestnuts.
"Big Cousin Brother always thinks of , bringing chestnuts every ti he cos to the palace, unlike soone else who only knows how to scold upon eting!"
Chewing on the fragrant chestnuts, Cui Wei didn’t miss the chance to tease Zhao Hongqian, leaving him both amused and exasperated.
"You’re right, your Big Cousin Brother is indeed the best. Not only did he buy you chestnuts, but he also shelled them for you before bringing them. Oh, and he kept them warm with his inner strength on the way here, afraid they’d cool down!"
Zhao Hongqian said this while winking aningfully at Su Tianyou, but Su Tianyou was too focused on Cui Wei to care.
Cui Wei ate another chestnut and gave Su Tianyou a sweet smile, "Thank you, Big Cousin Brother. You’re the best to Cui Wei!"
Su Tianyou couldn’t suppress his smile and said, "As long as Cousin likes it."
Seeing Su Tianyou’s retreating manner, Zhao Hongqian shook his head secretly, deciding to help his good friend, "Your Big Cousin Brother is indeed the best. Whoever marries soone like him in the future must surely be very happy!"
After saying that, he stared straight at his little sister without blinking.
Cui Wei continued eating the chestnuts, nodding along, "Big Brother is right. Whoever marries Big Cousin Brother surely accumulated blessings in the previous life! By the way, Big Cousin Brother, you’re almost seventeen now, isn’t it ti for you to marry?"
The way she spoke showed no other intention, her little face filled only with the joy of chestnuts.
Does it seem like she has feelings for Su Tianyou?
Zhao Hongqian shrugged, it seed like his little sister either hadn’t matured yet or really didn’t have any feelings for Su Tianyou.
Even though they were relatives, since both were n, it was inappropriate to linger long in Cui Wei’s chamber, so they left after chatting for a short while.
Walking along the small gravel path in the palace, Zhao Hongqian casually plucked a branch of the Haitang flower from the roadside, leisurely smiling, "I must say, it seems like my silly little sister has no feelings for you. Why don’t you find a suitable lady from the noble circles in the Capital city and marry her instead? Don’t waste any more ti on her, I’m tired on your behalf!"
Indeed, it was tiring. Everyone else could see Su Tianyou had feelings for Cui Wei, except for that silly girl Cui Wei, who remained oblivious and even had the nerve to urge Su Tianyou to marry quickly.
Tsk, tsk. Hearing this, I wonder if Su Tianyou’s heart is breaking?
Zhao Hongqian shrugged, feeling like he could almost hear the sound of a heart shattering.
"Why should I be tired on my behalf?"
Su Tianyou walked ahead, unperturbed by Zhao Hongqian’s words, as if they were talking about soone else’s business altogether.
