Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 65: Don't Disapear (1)

Eunuch Xiao Yuancheng came over with a smile on his face.

Xiaoyuan had a round face, and his delicate face was full of smiles, which was quite pleasing: "The servant greets Fourth Miss Lu and Miss Shen."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiaoyuan doesn't have to be so polite, please get up quickly."

Xiao Yuan was the Second Prince's personal attendant and was quite trusted by the Second Prince. As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. Although Xiao Yuan is a eunuch, no one dares to look down on him wherever he goes.

Lu Mingyu's eyes fell on Xiaoyuan's face.

In her previous life, the Second Prince was accidentally "killed", and Eunuch Xiao Yuan asked to be buried with his master. This kind of loyalty was really rare.

Xiao Yuan is favoured by the Second Prince, there is indeed a reason for it.

No matter how irritated Lu Mingyu looked, he nevertheless smiled and said, "Miss Lu, the Second Prince is delighted to meet you by chance in the mountains today. He specially ordered the servants to send some pastries and preserved fruits and meat from the palace, and let the Fourth Miss Lu taste it for entertainment. By the way, there are also two pots of good fruit wine. Fourth Miss Lu, please accept it with a smile! "

He then turned his head and signalled, and the other two servants respectfully presented the gift.

This gift is neither expensive nor heavy. Just like an acquaintance, if you have something delicious and fun, you can send someone a copy to share.

Don't accept it, it seems that you are preoccupied with your own mind.

Take it, it's a little stuffy again.

After all, when you receive a gift from someone, you have to return the gift. How can I keep a distance and say that the two are not familiar with each other in the future?

How could she have thought that the Second Prince was a gentle gentleman?

He was actually as wily as a fox.

Lu Mingyu resisted the urge to snort softly, and said lightly: "Since it's delivered, thank you! Give my thanks to His Highness the Second Prince."

It’s good to accept gifts. Xiao Yuan was secretly delighted in her heart, and his smile became more earnest: "Yes, this servant must pass on Fourth Miss's words to His Highness."

Lu Mingyu said lightly: "Tell him. I, Lu Mingyu, keep my word, and what I say will count. I will reply to him after the hairpin ceremony. Before that, don't bother me again. Don't create any kind of chance to meet me again. Otherwise, my fists don't recognize people."

Xiao Yuan: "..."

Shen Lan: "..."

Even Xiao Yuan, quick-witted and tactful as he was, could barely maintain his diplomatic smile at that moment.

Shen Lan coughed and smiled, "Thank you for the gift from Your Highness. Dongxue, go get two red envelopes for Eunuch Xiaoyuan. Also, yesterday, sister Xiaoyu went hunting in the woods and hunted a few wild animals, which are cleaned for cooking. Eunuch Xiao Yuan please take some back, and let His Highness taste some."

Finally to complete the ceremony Xiao Yuan was sent away.

After Xiao Yuan and the other two servants left, Shen Lan looked at Lu Mingyu with a faint gaze: "Xiaoyu, what did you say to the Second Prince? Why do you have to reply to him after the hairpin ceremony?"

Lying is not painful.

The painful thing is, once one lie is made, more lies need to be made up to cover it.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Lu Mingyu's mouth, and she sighed softly: "There is no need to mention the inside story. In short, he wants to marry me, and I am very reluctant, but I can't ignore it. Therefore, I used the hairpin ceremony to delay giving an answer for two months more."

Paying off debts was depressing to think about.

Shen Lan had already guessed a few points. Hearing these words, she couldn't help but smile a little. Then she tried to comfort her: " If you really don't want to, just open your mouth and refuse. Even if he is a Prince, he doesn't have the right to force a marriage. Besides,  If you owe him something, just make it up to him. There's no need to put the rest of your life on the line."

Lu Mingyu sighed again in his heart.

If only things were that simple.

…

Staying in a courtyard in the mountains, the biggest pleasure was walking in the mountains and enjoying the spring scenery. After the "random encounter" with the Second Prince, Lu Mingyu completely lost the urge of walking in the mountains.

Shen Lan suggested understandingly: "This season, the hare and goat are also very plump. Why don't we go hunting in the mountains together, how about coming back for a barbecue tonight?"

Only food and wine can solve the worries.

Lu Mingyu nodded, putting on a light and comfortable military uniform, her long hair braided into a long braid, carrying a bow and arrow, holding a long sword in her right hand, really beautiful and sassy.

Shen Lan, who was wearing a light blue military uniform, sighed: "Xiaoyu, why were born a girl? If you were a young man, I would have married you in this life."

Lu Mingyu was amused and smiled: "Don't let my second brother hear this. Otherwise, you don't know how depressed he will be."

When Lu Fei was mentioned, Shen Lan felt a sweetness in her heart and pursed her lips and smiled.

When you go hunting in the mountains, you must bring your own guards.

Lu Mingyu and Shen Lan left the courtyard surrounded by guards, and Shen Lan joked in a low voice: "There is only one road in the mountains, as long as you have the heart, it is not uncommon to meet by chance. The mountain is so big, you will never meet again by chance! "

Lu Mingyu gave her friend a solemn look: "This joke is not funny at all."

Shen Lan chuckled lightly.

It's rare to see the confident and high-spirited Lu Mingyu slumped, almost avoiding the Second Prince, and she doesn't even want to mention it, it's so interesting.

Soon, Shen Lan couldn't smile anymore.

Walking out of the Shen family's courtyard, as soon as they entered the mountain forest, they saw a handsome young man in a cyan military uniform not far ahead. Surrounded by a group of tall, strong and sturdy bodyguards, the young man in azure clothes looked very gentle and handsome as jade.

This is really a "coincidence"!

Shen Lan quickly glanced at Lu Mingyu,

Sure enough, Lu Mingyu's face turned black again, and she squeezed her right fist, making a scalp-tingling sound: "Sister Shen, wait here. I want to see what he's going to do."

Shen Lan tried her best to hold back Lu Mingyu, who was about to rush forward to beat up the Second Prince and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yu, you need to calm down. Don't be rash. He's no commoner. If he was someone like the second son of Mr Jin, then it's whatever. But he is the Second Prince. You are the daughter of an official. Think about what will happen to the Lu family if you punch the prince."

The last sentence hit Lu Mingyu's sore spot.

In fact, even if it wasn't for the Lu family, if she really faced the Second Prince, she probably wouldn't be able to strike him. After all, it was she who owed the debt.

Facing the creditor, it is impossible to stand upright.

The Second Prince also saw this, so he dared to "run into" her again and again.

Lu Mingyu snorted angrily and put down her fist angrily.

Shen Lan persuaded again in a low voice: "Since you met, go and say hello. Don't be rude to others."

Lu Mingyu hummed and was reluctantly pulled forward by Shen Lan.

Before the two of them could salute, the Second Prince showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly said, "Fourth Miss Lu, Miss Shen, it's really a coincidence. I met in the mountains yesterday, but I didn't expect that while hunting in the mountains today we will meet again by chance. ."

Lu Mingyu laughed without a smile: "Isn't it? It can be seen that your Highness and I are indeed destined."
