Chapter 139: Meeting for the First Time Feels Like Meeting an Old Friend
"It was indeed our fault that we didn't recognize the Princess just now. However, we have always grown up at our maternal grandfather's house in Yangzhou. We have never met you two before, which is why we bumped into each other."
After Shen Mengdie finished speaking, the two of them introduced themselves.
I never expected the princess to be so approachable.
"What's the big deal? Didn't I just say it's a minor matter?"
Lin Rusi looked at Li Jingyang with a hint of helplessness.
Knowing it was his face, the two girls were probably a little scared and speechless at this moment.
"Yangzhou, I've heard that the scenery there is picturesque. It's just a pity that I've never even left the capital in my life."
It seems that I have never left this small place, whether in my past or present life.
But what woman in this world isn't like that?
Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful, but even this slight expression was noticed by Li Jingyang.
"Is that so? If Your Highness likes it, you can visit Yangzhou in the future. My maternal grandfather will definitely treat you both well. The scenery there is not only beautiful, but there are also many delicious foods. I think Your Highness will like it too."
At this moment, the second young lady, Shen Mengyi, also took the initiative to speak.
She has a lively personality.
Upon hearing this, he immediately became interested, never expecting the princess to be so approachable.
"Really? That makes me want to try it."
Lin Rusi said this, but she also knew that it was simply impossible.
She used to be Miss Lin, now she is Princess Jinglie.
Both of these identities mean that where you want to go is not something you can decide for yourself.
"Of course, Your Highness, this is for you."
After saying this, he took out a pastry from the box he always carried with him.
Shen Mengdie hesitated.
The princess is of noble status, how could her sister give her such small things?
"Mengyi, take it back immediately. This is impolite."
Shen Mengyi felt a little wronged after hearing her sister's words.
"I only noticed that the Princess also likes Yangzhou, and it was just some pastries..."
Hearing her sister's words, Shen Mengdie felt helpless.
Although it is a small matter, if anything goes wrong, the entire Shen family will have no way to apologize to the Princess and the Prince.
I thought Lin Rusi would refuse something from a stranger, but to my surprise, she accepted it readily.
Lin Rusi didn't take it to heart.
"Second Miss is doing this for my own good. I've never had Yangzhou-style snacks before. Today, it's thanks to Second Miss that I've broadened my horizons."
After saying this, he picked up the pastry and took a bite.
Not only does it melt in your mouth, but its sweet taste also makes you feel happy after eating it.
An expression of appreciation appeared on Lin Rusi's face.
"These pastries taste really good."
At this moment, I couldn't help but offer a compliment.
Shen Mengyi felt very proud when she heard this, and then looked at Lin Rusi.
"Your Highness, I knew you would like it. I'll ask my grandmother to make some extra and send them to you, okay?"
The second young lady looked at her with some expectation, while Shen Mengdie looked at her sister and felt helpless.
However, since neither the princess nor the prince was angry, it wasn't a big deal.
Lin Rusi and the two young ladies hit it off immediately.
At this time, they talked a lot about Yangzhou, and expressed some longing for it.
That area is a water town in southern China, and its customs are different from those here in many ways.
I wish I could have the chance to see it for myself.
Thinking about this is definitely a bit of a pity, since it's impossible.
Li Jingyang looked at her, somewhat surprised.
After all, Lin Rusi's expression clearly showed that she really wanted to go.
"If you want to go, I'll go with you after he's done with this busy period. It's nothing."
"Let's forget it. As a prince, if you leave the capital without permission, wouldn't that give the Emperor an opportunity to punish you?"
Lin Rusi was fully aware of these principles.
He doesn't need to risk his life for his own little matter.
“What’s the big deal? I’ve grown up by my brother’s side since I was a child. I don’t think he would refuse such a small thing.”
Lin Rusi ignored them, finding the two girls in front of her quite likable.
As expected of a girl raised in the water towns of Jiangnan, she is indeed quite different from some of the wealthy young ladies here.
Only then did he take out the jade pendant from his hand and hand it to the two girls.
"This...the princess is our life today, how dare we take anything from her?"
As a young lady from a wealthy family, Shen Mengdie was always very polite.
Now, of course, I dare not accept it.
"What's wrong with that? I feel an instant connection with you two. Take this jade pendant, and if you have time in the future, come to the Prince's Mansion to see me often. Tell me about all the interesting things that happen outside, okay?"
After saying this, he looked at Shen Mengdie.
Shen Mengyi's eyes lit up when she heard this. She hadn't expected that the woman of such high status would be like this.
At this moment, she quickly took the jade pendant and looked at her sister with dissatisfaction.
“Sister, the Princess wants to be close to us, how can you refuse like this? If I have time, I will definitely bring some pastries made by my grandmother…”
Seeing that the three girls hit it off immediately, Li Jingyang, who was standing next to him, felt neglected.
Thinking that today was supposed to be a day spent with her on a boat trip on the lake, she suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.
However, out of pride, he was unwilling to show his jealousy in front of the two girls.
Then he looked at Ye Qing beside him.
Having followed him for a long time, Ye Qing understood his intentions with just a glance.
He then quickly stepped forward and looked at Lin Rusi.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Didn't you just say you were going to buy two lanterns with the Prince? If we go too late, they might all be closing up shop."
Ye Qing felt somewhat helpless; he had just arranged for someone to send that young master away.
They also need to help the prince remind the princess.
If it weren't for me, there would probably be even more misunderstandings between them.
"Oh yeah..."
The two girls realized that they had indeed been out for quite a while, which made them feel a little embarrassed.
We were having such a great time chatting that we completely forgot about the time.
“Your Highness, it’s getting late. It would be too late to go back, and it wouldn’t be good for the two young ladies. Why don’t I escort them back first?”
Ye Qing took the initiative to speak.
Lin Rusi nodded.
"That's fine then. You two can come find me when you have the chance. Ye Qing, then I'll trouble you to take these two young ladies back."
After saying that, Ye Qing nodded.
Li Jingyang's expression improved considerably.
