Chapter 85 Do you like her?
Princess Xihe couldn't wait to find her brothers. It was a rare day out, and she might be locked up again when she got home, so she had to make the most of it.
After Princess Xihe left, Ye Wanning noticed that Princess Ning'an was watching her. The two of them slowly walked out of the tent together.
Princess Ning'an wanted to speak several times, but swallowed her words in the end. Finally, she sat down and said, "Sometimes, I really envy Xihe."
"Yes, Prince Duan and his wife are really good to Princess Xihe," Ye Wanning sighed.
“Actually, you’re not bad either, and your aunt is good too.” A hint of envy flashed in Princess Ning’an’s eyes. Just as she finished speaking, a young man in white walked over, a barely perceptible look of disgust flashing in his eyes.
Bai Xu is a white-clad young master in the capital. He only wears white clothes because someone told him that his surname is Bai and that he has fair skin when he was a child, just so that people would praise him for his elegant white attire.
"Princess, I've prepared a horse. Would you like to ride with me?" Bai Xu is Princess Ning'an's fiancé. The two are engaged, and now they can get closer without worrying about what others might say.
Ye Wanning quietly observed Bai Xu. He was very thin and pale, but he had no complexion at all. He looked like a paper doll with eyes and a mouth drawn on haphazardly.
Ye Wanning couldn't help but feel sorry for Princess Ning'an. It was such a pity that such a clever and shrewd person had to marry Bai Xu.
With Bai Xu inviting her in front of so many people, and everyone knowing about the imperial decree of marriage, Princess Ning'an had no reason to refuse and could only nod in agreement.
"Wanning, won't you be bored sitting here?" Princess Ning'an asked Ye Wanning as she stood up.
Ye Wanning initially thought that Princess Ning'an was asking her for help, but then she heard Princess Ning'an say, "If you don't like it, you can go find Xihe. She's a fun person and will definitely make you happy."
After saying that, Princess Ning'an left with Bai Xu.
Yunzhi came over to pour tea and whispered, "Miss, His Highness is looking for you."
Ye Wanning got up and followed the maid to find her adoptive mother. On the way, she encountered Xie Bohuai, who was on patrol. The two met face to face, and before Ye Wanning could greet him, she saw a woman angrily rushing towards Xie Bohuai.
"Xie Bohuai, what's wrong with me? Why don't you like me?" Lu Jinyu put one hand on her hip and pointed at Xie Bohuai with the other. If you were to ask who the most fierce girl in the capital was, it would be her.
Xie Bohuai frowned slightly. "Miss Lu, if you don't like it, you just don't like it."
"Then tell me, what's wrong with me?" Lu Jinyu blocked Xie Bohuai's way, "Am I not pretty enough, or do you prefer gentle women? Like her?"
Lu Jinyu looked around and, seeing Ye Wanning nearby, pulled her over without a word. "Tell me, do you like this kind of pretty and gentle girl?"
Ye Wanning hadn't expected to get involved. She tried to break free from Lu Jinyu, but Lu Jinyu held her tightly. "Miss Lu, your affairs have nothing to do with me."
"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean to offend you. I was just using you as an example." Lu Jinyu didn't grow up in the capital; her mother brought her there to get married, so she didn't know Ye Wanning. "But you are truly beautiful, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Don't be afraid, I apologize now, but I will help you in the future!"
As she spoke, Lu Jinyu looked at Xie Bohuai again, "Tell me quickly, do you like this kind of delicate young lady?"
Xie Bohuai's gaze did not fall on Ye Wanning; he looked straight ahead and said, "No."
"So what kind of person do you like?" Lu Jinyu, who grew up in the military camp, had a fierce personality. She was determined to get an answer today. "Tell me quickly! Or are you, the commander of the town government, too afraid to even say who your favorite person is?"
Xie Bohuai frowned. He was about to leave, but Lu Jinyu stopped him.
Lu Jinyu was skilled in martial arts, and Xie Bohuai wouldn't be able to get rid of her for the time being.
"Miss Lu, in short, I don't like your vulgarity." Taking advantage of Lu Jinyu's moment of stunned silence, Xie Bohuai turned and fled.
By the time Lu Jinyu realized what was happening, Xie Bohuai was already far away. She burst into tears and suddenly hugged Ye Wanning, "Waaah, that bastard Xie Bohuai actually called me vulgar. If I could be gentle, would I still be called Lu Jinyu? Waaah, sister, you smell so good."
Ye Wanning: ...Do we have to change the subject so quickly?
"Hmph, Xie Bohuai isn't all that great, cold-faced and foul-mouthed. I don't want to like him!" Lu Jinyu had just arrived in the capital when she attended the Seventh Prince's wedding banquet. At the banquet, she immediately took a liking to Xie Bohuai. The reason wasn't anything else, just that Xie Bohuai was handsome; he was the tallest and most handsome man in the crowd. "But he really is very good-looking. You're from the capital, right? Do you know if there are any men in the capital who are more handsome than him?"
“Miss Lu, we shouldn’t discuss a man’s appearance. We should judge a person by their character; as long as they are decent-looking, that’s enough,” Ye Wanning said.
Lu Jinyu shook her head. "You really are a pampered young lady raised by a wealthy family in the capital. I don't care about anything else, as long as you're good-looking. If my husband treats me badly, I'll beat him until he submits. That's how my mother taught me. No matter what kind of man he is, once he's in our hands, he has to obey. Give them some face in public, but deal with them properly at home."
This was the first time Ye Wanning had heard such a statement. She had to admit that the girls from military families were indeed formidable.
Thinking that her adoptive mother was still waiting for her, Ye Wanning could only say that she had other things to do.
"Then I won't bother you any longer, sister. What's your name, sister? I think you're very pretty. I'll definitely come to visit you when I have time." Lu Jinyu looked at Ye Wanning with a smile. Actually, she herself was quite pretty, with two dimples, and a bright and cheerful smile.
Ye Wanning gave her name, thinking that someone with Lu Jinyu's personality would get along well with Princess Xihe.
It's a pity they won't see each other again, otherwise she would have liked Lu Jinyu's personality quite a bit.
After parting ways with Lu Jinyu, Ye Wanning went to see her adoptive mother. "I ran into Miss Lu on the way and we talked for a while, so I'm late."
"Is she Lu Fengnian's daughter?" Princess Longyu asked.
"Yes."
“It really is her. You must think she’s very different, right?” Princess Longyu was drinking tea. Seeing Ye Wanning nod, she smiled and said, “Madam Lu is from a foreign land, not from our Central Plains. Therefore, her daughter is raised differently. Back then, Lu Fengnian went to great lengths to marry this lady. I met Lu Jinyu once before and quite liked her. She and Xihe should get along very well.”
“I think so too,” Ye Wanning said.
At this point, Princess Longyu dismissed everyone else, leaving only Granny Jiang and Yunzhi behind.
Granny Jiang brought over a box filled with silver notes.
“Everything in the world can be bought with silver. After much thought, I realized that it would be inconvenient for you to carry any treasures with you. These silver notes would be much better,” Princess Longyu said.
