Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Fine time, beautiful scenery Lantern Festival

In the end, it was Zhao Zimu who took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the tears for the person in front of her. Her eyelashes were long and cold, her long eyebrows were like a stroke of concentrated ink. Her nose bridge was straight. Her thin lips were cold and her eyes were moist like a black bead. The cold face was handsome and attractive.

Her fingers were slender and her movements were gentle but not frivolous although the owner’s face was still cold and indifferent.

Princess Ningan was a bit dumbstruck. Her eyes only know how to follow the fingertips in front of her. The person who looked coldly and fiercely at her and who had disrespected her was now wiping her tears gently. She rarely had contact with men in the imperial palace. When had she been treated so tenderly by a man? Even when her brothers were close to here, they still understood that men and women should keep their distance. They rarely made such an intimate gesture at her. Princess Ningan suddenly panicked accompanied by a faint shyness that she didn’t even know about.

The maid beside her had a handkerchief that reached halfway and she didn’t know how to retract it. She froze there…The maid had never seen such a bold person before who dared to be frivolous with princess.

Situ Yuanxiao’s opened mouth was a bit ridiculous and his expression did not match his handsome face.

Was this brat being a rogue? He is, right? Right? He was thinking about whether he should take action. After all, his little sister was a golden branch and jade leaves. This act of this unknown brat offended the prestige of the imperial family.

• Golden branch and jade leaves: imperial kinsmen

When would there be an end? Should she just throw the handkerchief and leave? Zhao Zimu thought.

At this time, a slim figure with a purple veil appeared in the doorway. Her exquisite figure exuded a mature charm everywhere. She walked to Zhao Zimu and glanced once at Situ Yuanxiao who stood stiffly at the door. She sat down beside Zhao Zimu and asked gently, “What’s wrong? Why is this little girl crying so pitifully? Even I, aunt Qing, feel so distressed looking at it.”

“Aunt Qing,” When Zhao Zimu saw the person she waited for had come, she withdrew her hand and obediently greeted her. At this time, the person who was crying finally recovered and looked at the people in front of her. She suddenly felt so embarrassed.

Situ Yuanxiao hurriedly came over and pulled his little sister. He said, “It is all my fault for letting you see such a scene. I accidentally made my little sister cry. Don’t take offense. Since we have the fate to meet today, let me be the host and let us get to know each other.”

Situ Yuanxiao’s head was intertwined when he said this. He tried hard to remember. He remembered that his hypocritical second big brother did it like this when he encountered such a situation. It wouldn’t be wrong, right? Situ Yuanxiao clamored silently.

The person who was called aunt Qing by Zhao Zimu revealed a smile and said gently, “Those who come here are my guests. I’m the owner here. Since it was just a small matter, why don’t we be friends. You can call me aunt Qing.”

Seventh princess felt that the people in front of her was so nice. She turned tears into laughter and smiled, “I’m called Ningan and I’m ranked seventh at home. You can call me little seven.”

Situ Yuanxiao hurriedly said, “Just call me Yuanxiao because I was born on the day of the Lantern Festival. So, my parents named me Yuanxiao. Fine time, beautiful scenery, good Lantern Festival.”

• Situ Yuanxiao’s name is 元嚣 in Chinese. Lantern Festival is 元宵 in Chinese. So, they are not the same but sound the same.

Little sister, what kind of gaze is that? Don’t look at your big brother with that kind of eyes. It wasn’t easy for your fifth big brother to think of a name. I was anxious. Please, take back that kind of gaze. Situ Yuanxiao anxiously used his eyes to gesture at his little sister. Situ Yuanxiao had never liked literary things. That he could come up with a name in such a short time, he felt that it was already very good and that one shouldn’t be so demanding.

However, he heard a laughter. He turned his eyes to the attractive imp who dared to disrespect his little sister. He saw that that a coldness came from that person’s face and his mouth was pulled into an arc of ridicule. Alright, Situ Yuanxiao wanted to hit him again.

Situ Ningan quickly said to Zhao Zimu, “Right, I still don’t know your name. Thank you for just now.”

What are you thanking him for? Situ Yuanxiao was speechless. What was wrong with his little sister’s head? This attractive imp dared to touch his blue-blooded little sister and dared to disrespect her.

“Zhao Zhong,” A cold voice sounded. Ningan didn’t expect that the person who looked so indifferent and arrogant would reply so simply. As that person talked, he said to that person referred to as aunt Qing, “Aunt Qing, since you are busy today, I won’t delay you any longer. I will come another day.” They knew each other. Ningan also didn’t know her mind turned with Zhao Zhong’s words. At the same time, she got anxious. He would leave like this?

Aunt Qing felt helpless. Didn’t this child come to look for her? Now, she wanted to leave after just having met each other, what was going on? However, Zimu had already spoken and not to mention that there were two outsiders of unknown origin here, so, she couldn’t say much and only nodded.

“That.” Situ Ningan grabbed Zhao Zimu’s sleeve and said anxiously, “Won’t you stay a bit longer? I haven’t apologized yet. It was I who boldly rushed in just now. I don’t see anything on your table. Presumably, you haven’t been here for long. If it wasn’t because of me, I…”

After having spoken till here, she also realized that the person in front of her was angry. Tears twirled in her eyes again.

Zhao Zimu was really annoyed. Why was the person in front of her started to rain again? Moreover, this time, it was facing her. She suddenly missed her Ling Er a bit. Although, Ling Er liked to watch liveliness a bit but she wouldn’t cry at a drop of a hat. Zhao Zimu said coldly, “It has nothing to do with you.”

“Wa…” This time seventh princess really cried out. She had never suffered such grievances having grown so big. In such a short time, this person had been fierce with her twice. Could it be that she was really so annoying? There had been no one who disliked her so much.

This time, Situ Yuanxiao truly attacked. His fists attacked Zhao Zimu’s face mercilessly. Zhao Zimu grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it at him. The lid fell off and the hot tea flowed out. Zhao Zimu knew that she couldn’t touch this person now yet. So, the tea was thrown at Situ Yuanxiao in a backward flow. Situ Yuanxiao turned around and simply kicked it back with his feet.

“Ah!” A scream could be heard. Situ Yuanxiao almost lost his soul from being scared. He saw that the teapot carrying the tea that originally flew into his direction turned to Ningan with his kick. If it really hit her, he didn’t need to return to the palace anymore. Also, seeing the temperature of the tea, he would feel guilty for all his life. Situ Yuanxiao’s eyes cracked.

When it was almost too late, Zhao Zimu quickly turned up the table with her knees and kicked the table over. The teapot hit the table and the tea was spilled all on the table. Not a splash hit Ningan. However, it seemed she went blank because of fright. Her eyes wouldn’t even move.
