Ming Shu almost clapped her hands. Inverting what Prince Song first said, Jinghua not only out as him chasing the Miss but also throughly cleaned herself and made a way for Miss Xiao step down without being to ugly. This genetic glibly tongue is truly envious.
Xiao Qingqing was flattered with the Princess apology. You must know that the the imperial daughter in front of her is known for her arrogant temper and many noble daughters ate losses on her hand. This time she not only apologized but also helped her.
"Please Your Highness that's it a trivial matter. As a young sister I understand the care you have for Prince Song. But unfortunately I'm not fortunate to be the Prince's loved one"
Xiao Qingqing saw how His Highness reacted to the crying Gu Yuxie and she completely gave up her thinking on him. She had no desire whatsoever in be someone's courtyard with already losing odds before she enters.
Ming Shu raised her eyebrow to Xiao response. It seems that this young Miss is quite intelligent.
For a moment nobody said anything. The amount of information was a bit too much and the audience first had to figure out who to believe.
Zhao Song saw that the end was not optimistic to him but had to eat this dumb loss, since himself said to not prolong this any longer. With a cough he interrupted whatever dog bloody story the people present were formulating.
"Now that the misunderstanding is resolve why don't we appreciate the flowers?"
Biting the words misunderstanding to remember those present to not go away and spread unwanted rumors, Zhao Song was already making countermeasures inside his head.
Thinking of eating this dumb loss for the first time in a long time, Zhao Song hates his early impulse of thinking he could deal with anything that the people behind this schemed.
It seems that this time he truly underestimated his opponent. But what plagued him the most was that he didn't even know who was behind this.
At first he thought it was just Xiao Qingqing trying to approach him. Was not uncommon for young ladies do that to him and she behaved as if she was interested in him, so he followed her actions and pretended to be infatuated.
But after seeing the reversal of the situation Zhao Song knew that the girl had no affection for him whatsoever. Most likely, she, like him, thought in using their meeting to try to set a good relationship. But after seeing that it was to unfavorable she let go without hesitation.
The other possibility present, was his cheap sister, but he doubted she could come up with anything that made him loose such a big face.
So who...
That it!
It must be him!
The outside brother, Si Yifeng. Although he didn't know if this was because he started to move him, Zhao Song knew he had to keep a better eye on his future competitor.
He didn't know how his brother found out that he had sent someone to kill him, but seeing the failure of the task and his identity revealed, he knew that his elder brother was more hidden than he previously imagine it.
'It seems that Wang Fangyi was right, he is a threat that must be solved soon. Although I don't believe completely on where she found this information, the important part is that I can use her while she can be of use and slowly take from her this information network'
Zhao Song looked at his side that had a small aggrieved woman and sighed. First he had to solve his lover misunderstanding first.
Parting a little from the others and pulling her to pretend to appreciate one of the exotic flowers, Prince Song began to coach his future wife.
"Yu'er don't you believe me? This was planned by someone and I previously to that I and Miss Xiao only exchange pleasantries. Don't you know my heart is completely yours?"
As for who planned, his Yu'er didn't needed to stress about it he will solve anything that stands on their way to the throne.
What he didn't realize was the expression on the one who he was trying to protect.
After hearing her lover's guarantee believed 8 or 9 point on the story he told. But even with Zhao Song's guarantee, she didn't trust that his love would surpass his earning for the throne that it would be as eternal as he said. Because of this she worked relentlessly to avoid all those annoying girls wanting to climb his bed.
Looking at the distasteful new butterfly she had to admit the girl was beautiful and polite and more importantly had a strong background just like her. But what does it matter? She will crush her as the but she was.
She won't ever let anyone steal her rightful pace besides Zhao Song side.
She lowered her face to hide the murderous look on her face and with a gentle and aggrieved voice answered her lover.
"Of course I believe in you. Is just that I-I... I can't control my jealousy when it comes to you. I know is improper of me but you are my everything"
Tear began to form in the corner of her eye making Zhao Song flustered. He didn't want to sully her lovely appearance with tears.
It broke his heart seeing her like this but at the same time it gave him a strange sense of satisfaction.
Look, the goddess on the eyes of many still shed tears of jealousy for him. He knew she had him in her heart.
Maybe because they were to deep in their play they forgot that besides them there were others in the garden.
Although not everyone notice their movements, Ming Shu and the Princess were almost staring holes at them.
"I never seen such a deep love"
Princess Jinghua rolled her eyes to Ming Shu.
"Please, the love there is as deep as their interests, I doubt that they would cling to each other like this otherwise. Their disregard for the presence of others is unsightly"
Ming Shu only smile and didn't respond.
Maybe is because she suffered to much in the hands of the infatuated couple, or maybe because she saw they showing love for such a long time and despite the difficulties for so many years, that she truly believed that, besides their social and monetary interests, they truly loved each other even if just a bit.
Regardless if their affection was true or not, Ming Shu didn't care about it. At best, Zhao Song would at least have someone by his side in the end, if not, then maybe Jinghua was right and the love that killed her was nothing but a sham.
