With the help of Lorraine's arm, Xueni got up from the bed. The two people's skin touched again, conveying each other's body temperature.

It's just that Lorraine sighed and shook his head, while Xue Ni leaned on Lorraine's shoulder, showing a bitter smile.

Chapter 19

buy and sell

Lorraine and Xueni came out of the room. When they were eating a meal that they didn't know whether it was breakfast or lunch, they could obviously feel the eyes of the maids around them were a little different.

It's okay for Lorraine. When he and Xueni were seen like that, he thought it would be like this.

As for Xue Ni, she felt a little awkward, pinching the corner of her clothes with her hands from time to time.

What Xue Ni is wearing now is not her own clothes. Rather, even Lorraine doesn't know what to do with the clothes that are already in disgrace.

But Xueni couldn't come out wearing her own clothes, so Lorraine had to borrow clothes from the maids again.Even now, Empress Lorraine still can't forget the smile on the maid's face when she gave her the clothes.

Xueni moved towards Lorraine, and said in a low voice, "Would you like to go shopping with me later."

Because Xue Ni is also a noble lady, the maids can only take out their better clothes, but ignore the problem of whether they fit or not.

The whole dress looked a little loose on Xue Ni's body, and the shoulders would slip off towards the shoulder from time to time.

If it was the previous pajamas, Xueni would not feel anything, after all, looser clothes might be better when sleeping, but if she goes out and wears this dress, Xueni will feel a little awkward.

Seeing Xue Ni's appearance, Lorraine had no reason to refuse and could only nod.

It seems that the arrangements for leaving the royal capital are almost complete. Xueni, as a key figure, is also here now, and it seems that he does not need to go anywhere else.

After eating, Xue Ni followed Lorraine like a shy child, pressing her shoulder with one hand and pulling Lorraine's sleeve with the other.

After getting into the carriage, Xue Ni breathed a sigh of relief.

When the two of them went to the academy together before, they always sat opposite each other in the carriage.But this time after getting on the carriage, Xueni sat directly next to Lorraine and held his arm.

Seeing that half of Xueni's white shoulders were exposed, Lorraine reached out and pinched her cheek, "Can you calm down next time?"

Xue Ni slapped Lorraine's hand aside, looking a little dissatisfied, "If you can follow my ideas, I won't be like this."

Lorraine smiled wryly, he couldn't guarantee that what he did was all right, but at least he could confirm that it was all for Xue Ni's benefit.

But if he followed Xueni's ideas, Lorraine didn't know which direction things would develop, and he himself didn't know what would happen to Xueni's ideas.

The two came to the tailor shop in the royal capital. When the manager of the tailor shop saw Lorraine, he quickly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, please be safe."

Lorraine looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him, and said in surprise, "Have we met?"

"Probably not." The tailor shop manager continued, "However, I saw your portrait when I was making clothes for His Highness the Second Highness."

For tailors, when ordering clothes for the royal family and nobles, if you don’t see yourself, you need the sizes of all parts of your body to facilitate the planning of the size of the clothes.The provision of portraits is convenient for changing different styles according to personal temperament.

"Did His Highness personally come to order clothes today?"

"It's not me, it's her." Lorraine looked at Xueni, and then said, "Are there any ready-made clothes that you can put on directly?"

Lorraine felt that if she didn't change Xueni's clothes again, she would become a necessary shield for her to go out.

The tailor shop manager glanced at Xueni, and didn't recognize which noble lady Xueni was from, but seeing her and Lorraine's appearance, she suddenly understood, "Yes, please come with me, miss."

"I'll wait for you here."

"Yes." Xueni walked forward, but did not forget to turn around and say, "Don't run around."

This sentence made Lorraine a little doubtful whether Xue Ni regarded herself as a child.

Lorraine looked outside, and the tailor shop was just facing the most prosperous street in the capital, and he could see the palace not far away when he looked up.

In fact, until now, he didn't know who was pushing him to leave the capital early, but judging from the conversation between Oule and himself that night, it should have a lot to do with her.

Is she really afraid of herself?In order to keep Romon's succession right?Or is it purely for its own power?

"Second Highness, what do you think of this dress?"

Lorraine turned around following the sound and saw Xueni coming out after changing her clothes.

The looser clothes just now have been replaced with a long light blue dress, which contrasts with Xue Ni's fair skin, making Lorraine subconsciously think of a small lake that has not yet frozen under the snow in winter.

"How's it going?" It seemed that because of the change of clothes, Xueni was no longer as timid as before, and her eyes looking at Lorraine had a different color, as if she was waiting for something.

"The clothes are beautiful." Lorraine said casually.

But from what Xueni heard, this was not the answer he wanted. He walked straight forward and punched Lorraine in the chest.

Xueni puffed her lips and said, "Why did you only talk about clothes? Shouldn't you say that I look good in what I wear?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hit Lorraine, which made Lorraine back again and again.

The tailor shop manager at the side looked at the two of them and smiled while covering his mouth.

After buying clothes, seeing that it was still early, Lorraine followed Xueni for a casual walk outside.

However, it is better to say that it was two people together, it is better to say that Xueni took Luo Lin, because apart from some information given by the messenger, he was not very familiar with the capital.

Walking to the bank of the river, Xue Ni looked at the vendors on the other side who were shopping, stopped in her tracks, and looked there blankly.

"Is there anything else you want to buy?" Lorraine asked, looking at Xueni's appearance.

Along the way, Xueni didn't buy anything except the clothes she bought at the beginning. Even the tailor shop manager suggested that Xueni bring some accessories for decoration, but Xueni refused.

This also reminded Lorraine that, except for the bracelet he gave Xueni before, it seemed that she had never seen her wearing accessories, which somewhat made Lorraine feel that Xueni was a little different from other noble ladies.

Xue Ni shook her head, pointed forward, "If possible in the future, let's go sell things too."

Lorraine didn't understand that Xue Ni would say this suddenly, and said, "Why do you suddenly want to sell things?"

Leaving aside the identity of Lorraine, the Second Highness, Xue Ni is the lady of the Gretel family. It would be a bit ridiculous if the two went to sell things like traders.

"Because in this way, you can sell things together all day long, and you don't have to go to any territory or anything like that."

Lorraine was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

This kind of thinking is like a joke. Rather, if it is heard by other nobles, it will be regarded as a joke.Many commoners wanted to be nobles, and now there is one noble who wants to be commoners.

But some simple thoughts about girls have nothing to do with right or wrong, and Xueni may really just want to be by her side.

Lorraine stretched her waist and responded with a smile, "Give it a try when you get a chance."

Chapter 20

want to keep you

I had already greeted some people in advance, so Lorraine didn't visit other people when he left that day. Rather, there were not many people Lorraine really needed to visit.

And there are not many things to sort out. It seems that in the lord's mansion there, there are basically everything that should be there, so Lorraine can basically go there directly with a few servants, while the others still stay in the house. Work continues on the original mansion in Lorraine.

Sitting in the carriage, feeling the shaking of the carriage driving on the street, Lorraine looked in the direction of the academy through the window.

In the past few days, I have been spending a lot of time with Xueni. Although Lorraine had deliberately not mentioned that she was leaving soon, Xueni would always tell her some very girly fantasies from time to time. Category.

Thinking of this, Lorraine sighed, not saying that these things are bad.In Lorraine's view, these are in line with her.

It's just that before the Second Highness, that is, before she appeared, what was she thinking that led to her disappearing in the end? Is it really just the original world line that was disordered?It shouldn't be that simple.

It was obviously Lorraine who was going on a long trip, but now his state of mind was as if it was Xueni who was going on the trip instead of him, and now he looked completely uneasy.

Lorraine leaned to the side of the carriage and asked the messenger, "If it stays like this, has the ending of Xue Ni's disappearance changed?"

The book messenger's voice echoed in Lorraine's mind, "The story line has begun to change compared with the original one, but it cannot be said that it has completely changed."

"It really is."

When Xueni expressed those emotions to herself, the envoy said that it was all Xueni's own wishes.

From that time on, Lorraine knew clearly that what he did had indeed changed the storyline, but even he himself did not expect it to develop in this direction.

But whether it is developing in a good direction, or whether it is going to continue in a bad way, no conclusion can be drawn immediately, and we can only know when the time is up.

Thinking about it, Lorraine felt sleepy and slowly closed her eyes.

In the evening after Lorraine left, a carriage drove to Lorraine's original mansion, and finally stopped in front of the door.

On the carriage, Xueni, who had just finished her college classes, stepped down.

The guards in front of the door looked at Xue Ni, both of them were stunned for a moment, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Miss Gretel, Your Highness has already left the capital at noon."

"Really." Xue Ni looked at the mansion, stood there for a while, and then said, "Can I go in now?"

The guard scratched his head, not quite understanding what Xueni meant, but he still opened the door.

Lorraine does not live here now, but the ownership of the mansion still belongs to Lorraine, and the maids are still taking care of the mansion as usual.

They don't know what the relationship between Lorraine and Xueni is like, but they also understand a little bit when they went in and out together before.At least let Xueni go in, there won't be any big problems.

"Miss Gretel?" Seeing Xue Ni walk in, the maid was also a little surprised.

But Xue Ni just nodded to the maids, as if saying hello, without saying too much, and then walked directly towards Lorraine's original room.

The maids think Xueni is a bit strange now, but in fact, this is how Xueni used to get along with other people normally, but now she has returned to her original state.

Pushing open the door, then closing it again, Xue Ni walked to the bed that had been made and sat down.

Looking at the bed, Xue Ni hesitated for a moment, then lay directly on the bed, wrapped the quilt around her body and covered her head.

The sound of Xueni's continuous deep breathing came from the quilt, as if she was searching for the remaining breath of Lorraine. It took a while before Xueni stretched her head out again.

On her face, she didn't know whether it was because of a little lack of oxygen, or because of other reasons, her whole cheeks were a little red.

"If only... I could keep you... here forever."

When I was with Lorraine these days, this was what Xueni had been thinking in my mind.

Xueni played a trick before, that is, Lorraine asked her to go to her after the college affairs were over, Xueni did not answer directly, but used silence or other methods to prevaricate.

Even Lorraine didn't pay attention to this, but in the end he thought it was Xueni who agreed.

Earlier, although she wasn't with Lorraine every day, Xue Ni didn't feel much substantive discomfort when she didn't see him for a short time.Because she knew that Lorraine was in the capital, as long as she wanted to, she could go to see him right away, and she could even come to this room to look for him like last time.

But now that Lorraine has left the royal capital, this sense of gap of not being able to see Lorraine immediately emerged, which made Xueni a little uncomfortable for a while.

Xue Ni clutched the quilt tightly, as if to make up for the discomfort caused by this feeling, and then stared blankly at the front.

On the other hand, the territory allocated by Lorraine is quite a distance from the capital.Even if the carriage only stopped a little while eating, it took three days to go from the capital to the territory.

The past three days have been a torment for Lorraine who has not been sitting in a carriage for a long time.

Although the seat was padded, it made Lorraine feel uncomfortable.

It almost made Lorraine think that the butt mark on the soft cushion was going to be the final proof that she was alive.

Not long after Lorraine's carriage entered the territory, a middle-aged man drove over with a group of people.

The middle-aged man saluted Lorraine's carriage and said, "This is the original lord here, Gulis Beipai, and welcome the Second Highness to take over here."

Lorraine got out of the carriage clutching his waist, and looked at the dozen or so people in front of him, including Guris.Although as the Second Highness, it was the first time for him to see this scene.

Gulis continued, "Your Highness, the Lord's Mansion is still being sorted out, and I will arrange a place for you first."

Before being notified, the lord's mansion was originally inhabited by Guris. Now that Lorraine is here, it will naturally be vacated for him to live in. However, Guris did not expect that Lorraine would come here so early in advance.

Lorraine couldn't bear the overly polite words and looked at Gulis, "May I ask, how long have you been working here?"

"How long?" Gulis didn't understand at once, "Oh, how long do you want to take care of here, because I inherited my father's position and became the lord, and it has been almost ten years since now."

"Ten years? So long." Lorraine was a little surprised. Normally, the territory and lordship could be inherited by his heirs, but he didn't expect that this middle-aged man who didn't look too old would also have ten years. experience of.

Lorraine thought for a while and said, "You don't need to tidy up, you can still handle everything as a lord as usual."

Gulis and the people beside him booed each other, "Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

Logically speaking, even if Guris is no longer the lord, he will stay here and explain some of the situation here to Lorraine. But now Lorraine says this, it seems that he does not mean to take over.

After waving his hand, Lorraine looked a little tired, "Just treat me as a tourist, and leave me alone, everything will be fine as usual."

I came to this world to change Xueni's story line, but I never thought about learning how to manage territory.
