After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 31

Before Liu Piaopiao had time to take a closer look, she saw Lu Yan approaching her like a ghost.

While being startled, Liu Piaopiao did not forget to maintain her dignity, she took a step back and lowered her head.

"Second Highness, well."

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, "We have met the fifth girl."

"It's hard for His Highness the Second Highness to remember me. I sat with Miss Bai that day."

Lu Yan lowered his voice, "I remember you not because of Bai Ziyan, Liu Piaopiao, the crown prince seems to care about you."

Liu Piaopiao wasn't flustered, and naturally changed the topic, "It's probably because I was too showy that day."

"Yes." Lu Yan's hand grabbed Wang Yuxi who was standing blankly at the side, and the two of them held up the wine glasses, and Liu Piaopiao also took the wine from the maid.After saying a few auspicious words, he drank the wine in the glass, but saw that Wang Yuxi looked a little powerless holding the wine glass.And Lu Yan was staring straight at her at the moment, looking more like a threat than a concern.

"What happened to Yuxi?"

Wang Yuxi shook her head, her eyes were slightly red.

"Probably because I didn't sleep well last night, it's okay."

Then she drank the wine in the glass under Lu Yan's cold eyes, she smiled and looked at Liu Piaopiao, "Thank you for your kind words, Miss Wu."

Liu Piaopiao was a little stunned, she had never seen this scene before.It's just that Wang Yuxi is not happy. After dealing with this group of wealthy families who are not much different in age, she can't make any mistakes.Wang Yuxi had already drunk a lot today, but Lu Yan didn't care about her at all.

Liu Piaopiao was in a daze, when Lu Yan spoke again.This time there was a bit of gnashing of teeth, "Fifth Miss is really a hero among women, and she is not relentless in the face of assassins."

Liu Piaopiao covered her mouth in astonishment, "I was terrified that day, and I didn't know what I did, and Miss Bai knew that too."

Bai Ziyan was caught off guard by Liu Piaopiao and pulled to the front, she was in a bad mood and didn't want to meet Lu Yan face to face.Now that she was brought before someone, and the assassination of the cruise ship was mentioned, under the heavy pressure, Bai Ziyan's face turned pale as far as the naked eye could see.

She looked at Liu Piaopiao, not knowing whether she was doing it on purpose or not, but she never looked at Lu Yan from the beginning to the end.

"I was escorted out of the hall by the guards that day, and I heard what happened from other people."

Wang Yuxi saw that Bai Ziyan, who suddenly came to the front, seemed to have suddenly ignited her fighting spirit, and she looked a little angry, "Miss Bai, don't you want to toast me on today's big day?"

Bai Ziyan was startled, then turned her attention away.She was originally facing Lu Yan sideways, but now she turned around and faced each other.The two looked at each other, and Wang Yuxi became the foil for a moment.It's just that no one spoke, Bai Ziyan was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Then I wish the Second Prince and Miss Wang the best of luck and the same heart and eyebrows."

Lu Yan didn't speak, not knowing what he was thinking.Lu Yan has always been unrestrained, but he was stunned for a long time on an occasion like today.Bai Ziyan's glass had already bottomed out and he hadn't moved yet. On the contrary, Wang Yuxi, who was obviously drunk, forced himself to drink one cup after another.

She was laughing, but Liu Piaopiao always felt that she was about to cry.

"Then thank you Miss Bai, I hope you have a good time today."

Bai Ziyan nodded slightly, "Naturally have fun."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yuxi took another drink.

Half of her face was under the mask, Liu Piaopiao reckoned that there were criss-crossed scars underneath, and under the influence of alcohol, the uneven scars turned into bulges, and the crimson scars spread to her neck On the surface, the traces that were originally faint became obvious now.

The other half of Wang Yuxi's face was extremely beautiful, showing a bit of tenacity while being gentle.

Liu Piaopiao thought, she must be very sad.

Lu Yan suddenly growled: "Enough, stop drinking!"

Wang Yuxi turned her face away, her eyes were full of water, "Why don't you drink it on the day of great joy? Your Highness still doesn't want it. If you don't want it, then you have to drink to relieve your worries."

Lu Yan stared at her for a while, then parted his lips and smiled, "It's up to you."

He didn't pay any attention to anyone, but went to entertain guests elsewhere.

Seeing that Lu Yan was gone, Bai Ziyan turned around and said, "Everyone take your time, I'll go elsewhere."

For a moment, only Wang Yuxi and Liu Piaopiao stood in place.

When Liu Wenlan passed by Liu Piaopiao's side, she left a sentence, "Did you see, the flying up the branches you thought was actually not as expected."

Liu Piaopiao stayed where she was and watched Liu Wenlan's leaving back, she shuttled through the crowd with ease.Chatting and toasting, winning people's hearts.Much more natural than himself, Liu Piaopiao laughed at himself that he was really useless.If I was wandering in such a vanity fair by myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to speak well.

Wang Yuxi was standing with her, and now she raised her eyes to look a little sharply.

"What are you still doing standing here, are you watching my joke?"

She spoke with momentum, but her gestures were not so intimidating.On the contrary, like a bereaved dog, there is bluff and grievance.

"Piao Piao dare not."

Wang Yuxi looked at her fixedly, probably drunk.After mumbling for a long time without knowing what to say, a sentence came out out of nowhere.

"He doesn't like me, why didn't he call off the engagement?"

Before Liu Piaopiao could understand this sentence, she saw Wang Yuxi covering her mouth as if about to spit it out.

She is the protagonist today, if she vomited all over the floor in front of so many people, what face would she have?Liu Piaopiao and He Zhi hurriedly supported Wang Yuxi and walked to the side path.

A drunk person sinks and cannot stop falling.The encumbered Liu Piao Piao was in a mess, and finally arrived in the garden shaded by flowers and trees.Liu Piaopiao supported Wang Yuxi and hid behind the tree. At this time, Wang Yuxi didn't care about being reserved, and spat out on the ground with his mouth open.The straps of the mask came loose in the confusion.Wang Yuxi instinctively went to support the mask, but she was so drunk that she couldn't touch it properly, and the two usual straps couldn't be fastened at this moment.

Wang Yuxi cried anxiously, Liu Piaopiao turned sideways.Supporting Wang Yuxi with one hand, and holding down her mask with the other.He Zhi blocked Wang Yuxi and put on the mask for her.The simple movements seemed to take away all of Wang Yuxi's strength, her legs gave way and she collapsed on the ground.Regardless of everyone's ladylike face, she leaned against the tree trunk and panted heavily.

Liu Piaopiao was about to comfort her when she saw Lu Ji not far away looking at her.Embarrassed, she turned her face away.But his body firmly blocked Wang Yuxi.

Lu Ji knew who was behind Liu Piao, so he should pretend he didn't see it, and leave here quickly.But not seeing each other every day is like three autumns, Lu Ji couldn't restrain his yearning, even if he just glanced at it from a distance, he felt satisfied.So he stopped at a distance of a hundred steps from Liu Piaopiao, and when he saw Liu Piaopiao turning his head sideways, he didn't know what to do, so he simply restrained his eyes and waited for Liu Piaopiao to deal with Wang Yuxi.

"He Zhi, you and Yuyan send Miss Wang back to rest."

He Zhi glanced at Liu Piaopiao, obediently, and Wang Yuxi's maid helped him away from the path.

Liu Piaopiao was a little excited, but also a little flinched.She took two steps, and for some reason just waited in place.

"Your Highness."

She called out from a distance, and Lu Ji looked straight at her, walking towards Liu Piaopiao step by step.

When he got close, Lu Ji stopped.A very safe distance, looks like gossip.

Liu Piaopiao didn't know what to say, she seemed to have a lot to say, and it seemed that she didn't need to say anything when she saw him.

"Liu Piaopiao, you took my jade pendant."

Lu Ji smiled, the ice-like coldness faded from his long and narrow eyes, and there was a bit of imperceptible tenderness.

"Didn't Your Highness already predict that I will accept it?"

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

Liu Piaopiao pursed her lips, "Your Highness was not angry when I returned the token to His Highness earlier, but later he was willing to help me. This friendship is extraordinary, and if Piao Piao does not agree, it will be unreasonable."

This is half true and half false, if it wasn't for Liu Wenlan, Liu Yufu wouldn't have anything to do with Lu Ji because Liu Piaopiao couldn't tolerate her.But things didn't go as she wished, even if she didn't want to get entangled with Lu Ji, there were troubles that forced her to keep meeting Lu Ji.

Liu Piaopiao was alone, she had died once, and knew how terrifying it felt.So this time, how could he be willing to be a mermaid and be slaughtered by others.

She doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, but in the face of reality, she can only cling to power.

What Liu Wenlan said was not bad at all, flying up the branches and turning into a phoenix.

Lu Ji looked at her, the woman in front of her seemed to be a little thinner than the last time she met.Since we met, Liu Piaopiao has always been injured all over.Either this or that, this time it hurt even more.

A girl's face is so important, how can someone hurt her so cruelly.

He wanted to reach out and touch Liu Piaopiao's slender chin, and ask her how much love she had for him.You have to test yourself with such a terrible word as death, even though you are willing to solve troubles for Liu Piaopiao.But it doesn't mean that Lu Ji is the arrow in Liu Piaopiao's hand. When he can use it, he puts on the bow and mounts it, and when he can't use it, he throws it in the warehouse to collect ashes.

He urgently needs an affirmation, an affirmation that she seriously wants to marry him.

Rubbing Liu Piaopiao's chapped lips with his thumb, it was a subconscious move.Before he could react, he stretched out his hand, and the touch of the other's lips was as beautiful as he imagined.Even though she was so dry and even trembling slightly, Lu Ji couldn't restrain his urge to kiss her.

But the fact is that Lu Ji's eyes are secretive.He tried to see through Liu Piaopiao, but was defeated by the opponent's gaze.

"Are you teasing me, Liu Piaopiao, or do you think of me as a ladder to climb?"

"No, Your Highness." Liu Piaopiao leaned back slightly, which made her whole body weight rest on the outstretched leg, and at the same time, this posture of looking up was pitiful just by looking at it.

She lowered her head and stared at Lu Ji's hand in a daze.

Liu Piaopiao will be very clumsy when facing important people, so clumsy that she can't lie without changing her face.

"Does Your Highness know about dodder flowers?" Liu Piaopiao raised her head, no longer addressed me, but became a concubine.

"The concubine is like a dodder flower, who else can I rely on besides His Highness?"

Lu Ji was taken aback, this answer pleased him physically and mentally no matter what level it was.The unwillingness in my heart a few days ago disappeared because of the word "dependence", but at this moment Liu Piaopiao broke free from him and straightened his clothes.That is to say, she has the shyness of her daughter's family, but also has a little bit of reservedness that turns from embarrassment into anger.

"Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Lu Ji didn't speak, just looked at Liu Piaopiao's crooked steps.Liu Piaopiao came to her senses, helped Bu Yao back up a little shyly, and then glared at Lu Ji.The latter was not annoyed, instead, he went forward and helped Liu Piaopiao to hold the hairpin again.

"Liu Piaopiao, the queen mother called her uncle into the palace for a discussion, did he tell you?"

Liu Piaopiao pursed her lips, "I said before, the second sister will be my wife and I will be my concubine."

Lu Ji narrowed his long and narrow eyes, seeing Liu Piaopiao's indifferent expression and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"You don't care at all?"

Liu Piaopiao asked him back, "Is it useful to care about?"

Lu Ji was very honest, "It's useless."

Liu Piaopiao was almost laughed angrily by him, "That's it, in my opinion, His Highness is the existence that tops the sky. But above His Highness, there is His Majesty, the Queen. She is the most undefeatable person in the world. You It is already rare to do this for me, if you ask for more, wouldn't it be greedy?"

Liu Piaopiao knew that she could not fight for anything, and her only hope was Lu Ji.So what she can have is what Lu Ji is willing to give, and everything else is too difficult to ask for.

Lu Ji also knew that Liu Piaopiao was advancing by retreating.She tried her best to reject the good marriage from the Duke's Mansion, and asked Zhang Huaiyu to pass the news to herself on the pretext of illness.She even sent a jade pendant to express her heart, not to be a concubine, otherwise, she might as well go to the Duke's Mansion to be a serious lady.

Liu Piaopiao wants everyone who is above her to know that she is not such a bully now as she was in the past.

So he temporarily suppressed his temper and said lazily: "I have wronged you."

With teary eyes, Liu Piaopiao took the initiative to take a step forward and took Lu Ji's hand, "Being able to be with His Highness is already a blessing that I have cultivated in my life, so I don't feel wronged."

What kind of nonsense is this? Lu Ji frowned, and secretly vowed that he would teach Liu Piaopiao a lesson on the day of the happy marriage between Qin and Jin.But it is time for them to say goodbye at this juncture.

So it was half true and half false, and the two bid farewell for a long time.

Seeing Liu Wenlan's teeth sore, and Liu Yufu's toothache.

Liu Yufu stomped her feet resentfully, "This bitch, why did I suddenly disappear? So she was hiding here for a private meeting with the crown prince. Where did she put her dignity and shame? I must beat her to death!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed out, and Liu Wenlan grabbed her.

"You are crazy. What do you talk about these days? Do you think your father indulges you too much?"

Liu Yufu was only a little more sober, and Liu Wenlan had the backbone to keep up with her.

"Could it be that this little bitch is being cheap for nothing?"

Liu Yufu gritted her teeth, Liu Wenlan knew she was hooked.Then he talked about Liu Piaopiao's entanglement with Zhou Wenqing some time ago.

Liu Yufu couldn't help grinning, "Okay, I'm going to tell my father now and see what she does!"

Liu Wenlan frowned, Liu Yufu was indeed not smart enough.This kind of empty talk doesn't need evidence. Liu Piaopiao can get away with just pretending to be pitiful.

"What's the use of you saying that, will father believe it?"

She leaned against Liu Yufu's ear and said slowly.

"You have to cook raw rice to make rice."
