After the rowdy crowd left, Lu Jinnian nodded politely towards Xiao Su before going to the place where they picked out the cloths. She selected two pieces of cloth symbolically and casually handed over the design of the cornflower pattern that was placed in her sleeves to Wen Qiu.

When he turned around again, he found Xiao Su staring at him unhappily. He felt very strange.

Looking into his amber eyes, Lu Jinnian said frankly, "May I know what the Prince has in mind?"

Xiao Su raised his eyes and said, "That's not what you said when you hugged me yesterday."

"Puff …" Lu Jinnian facepalmed, "Your Highness, please do not say anything that would lead to misunderstandings."

Luckily, Xiao Su's voice wasn't loud, and only the two of them could hear it. Otherwise, if someone else were to hear it, they might not even know how it would be transmitted.

Shocked, Great General Manor's direct daughter was not only a sloppy and unruly girl who fought with men over wine, but she was also valiant enough to force a weak prince into the streets …

She did not care about her reputation, but she could not go overboard.

Xiao Su took in her awkwardness and chuckled softly.

The voice was hoarse, melding into the cool spring air, like the sound of a silken bamboo.

Although cornflowers are rare in Mingxuan, they are not any kind of precious flower. Very few people would think of using it to make clothes, but putting it in a grassland would be different. "" What?

Lu Jinnian's heart moved slightly as she found a chair next to Xiao Su and sat down. On the surface, she did not seem bothered as she said, "To be able to achieve a miraculous victory in business, it is likely that it is because of the rarity and insignificance of Embroidery Workshop that I wanted to try it out."

Xiao Su glanced at her and smiled. "Jin knows how to do business."

"My daughter doesn't know how to make money from business, but she does know how to spend money. The new and unexpected things always attract me to open my purse." Lu Jinnian was exasperated. "Besides, your highness, we're not very familiar with each other either. Jin is not a suitable title."

Xiao Su declined to comment, "I just think the timing is too coincidental. This morning, the Honglu Temple handed over a paper, saying that they received news from the Huns, that Hun Envoy would arrive at the Liangjing in late February to consolidate the friendship between the two countries. The cornflower is the lucky flower of the Huns. "

Lu Jinnian raised her head and fixed her gaze on Xiao Su. "My daughter heard that Master Prince Huai was ill and did not ask about court affairs. He was a idle prince."

Xiao Su covered his mouth and coughed, "I am."

What a liar!

Lu Jinnian didn't have the intention to get to the bottom of this matter. Her previous few words had been a test, and she mentioned the cornflower in front of Xiao Ranxi, then pushed it onto Embroidery Workshop.

In the future, when Xiao Ranxi knew the meaning of cornflowers, she would think of Embroidery Workshop and not her. However, Xiao Su already knew the meaning of cornflowers.

But even so, Xiao Su should have asked Wen Qiu instead of her. Did she reveal some flaws?

Plus, as an idle king, why would Xiao Su care about the Huns?

It seemed that this little sheep was not as weak as she looked. She was a dignified Great Commander Lu.

A clap of thunder exploded in the air outside the Embroidery Workshop, and following that, raindrops fell from the sky.

Lu Jinnian shook her head silently. Xiao Su was not a simple person, even if he was only a black goat with a white sheep skin, it would be fine if they didn't have anything to do with each other.

"Your highness, my daughter has already bought the clothes that she should buy. While the rain is still falling, I will take my leave first. Your highness is still weak, let's go home and rest as soon as possible."

Seeing Lu Jinnian stand up, Xiao Su also stood up and pulled her sleeve. "Wait, I …"

"Eh?"

Xiao Su was very sincere, "The rain won't stop for a while."

"So?"

"I didn't take the umbrella."

Lu Jinnian raised her chin and looked at him. She had no choice, she had no choice but to raise her head.

"Jin, take me home."

Lu Jinnian smirked. "His Highness was so straightforward when he rejected the princess. He knew the weather was bad. He didn't bring a carriage, nor an umbrella, did he?"

Xiao Su did not say anything and silently agreed.

Lu Jinnian spread her hands. "It's a pity, although I brought a maid with me, I also didn't bring an umbrella. My maid and I have a strong body, so the rain isn't a big deal.

"I will have my servant girl go to the prince's mansion and have the servants prepare a carriage to send over, so that the prince won't catch the cold from the rain."

Xiao Su's eyes sparkled. After a while, he said, "Okay."

With Xiao Su's promise, Lu Jinnian told Yi Nuan to use her lightness skills to move forward. Then she moved quickly and sat on the chair again, allowing Xiao Su to size her up.

Since Yi Nuan knew kung fu, she didn't plan to hide it from her. If it was discovered, then so be it.

Not long after, a simple and unadorned carriage stopped in front of Embroidery Workshop's entrance. Lu Jinnian looked at Yi Nuan who ran back happily, pulling out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket to help wipe off the rain on her face.

The person sitting in the coachman's seat also ran in. He cupped his hands towards Xiao Su and said, "I came late, Master, please punish me."

Xiao Su's eyelids twitched. He glanced at Lu Jinnian and Yi Nuan's expressions and said to Wu Tie, "Then let's punish them."

Qing Ying's face stiffened a little. Eh! It shouldn't have developed like this!

Xiao Su ignored him and said to Lu Jinnian, "The carriage is here."

Lu Jinnian said, "OK."

"Do you need to send Jin off?"

"No need."

At the end of the conversation, Xiao Su had no choice but to sit on the horse carriage alone. Qing Ying followed closely behind and left in the carriage.

Lu Jinnian looked at Yi Nuan who had a face full of schadenfreude. She extended her hand to her and said, "I just told you to get a carriage back. What did you do extra?"

Yi Nuan rubbed her head, "I just think Prince Huai Manor's men are fun. That guy is called Qing Ying. I told him that Miss treated me so well. If I got sick from the rain, my heart would definitely ache."

"He doesn't believe it. He said that those who are sick and useless will definitely be thrown to the snakes to feed. Then, we'll bet to see whose master is the good one who cares about his subordinate."

Qing Ying definitely lost in the end.

"So that's how it is," Lu Jinnian smiled brightly, "How much did you bet with Qing Ying?"

Yi Nuan stuck out her tongue. She knew that she couldn't hide it from him. "Fifty silver taels."

"Give me half."

"En!" Miss, how could it be like this? "

Lu Jinnian gave her a look like this. If he were to bet with her reaction, he would be a coward.

Wen Qiucha brought out two umbrellas for them, "Miss, please wait for the rain to stop, I'll send the cloths over to you."

Lu Jinnian nodded and glanced at Yi Nuan, "Did you see that? Learn more from Wen Qiu."

He lifted his foot and stepped out of the Embroidery Workshop. The people on the street hurriedly rushed over, but Lu Jinnian didn't hold up her umbrella first. Instead, she stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops falling from the sky.

When Yi Nuan saw this, she put it away, "Mistress, it's Prince Huai and his people …"

"We'll talk about it when we get back." Lu Jinnian smiled sweetly. In the rain, the thirty-six paper umbrellas slowly opened as specks of red plum blossomed on the canopy. "I don't know what he wants, but I know what I want."

In her previous life, she could be considered to have fought a war for a lifetime. She no longer wanted to experience the flames of war and even if she was in the depths of a peaceful era where the dark tides surged and fake wings would shatter at a touch, she wanted to maintain her peace and not be disturbed by others.
