Chapter 128 Favors
In mutual silence.
Suddenly someone came to report that Lord Shi had come to the mansion to pay a visit to His Royal Highness Prince Ning.
Zhu Jinyou frowned: "Didn't we just meet at the welcoming party two days ago? Why are you visiting again?"
"Master Shi is traveling with his wife and daughter this time."
Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu looked at each other and said "Oh", indicating that they suddenly understood.
Zhu Jinyou sneered and said, "What have you understood?"
"Your Highness will naturally understand when the people arrive later."
Qin Bingrui didn't say anything, but this piece of pork neck was so angry that it almost killed him.
Luo Yu chuckled secretly. She remembered how Miss Shi was infatuated with the handsome man that day and even gave him a bag. If the handsome man she saw again this time was His Royal Highness Prince Ning, would her face blush with embarrassment?
She had to help to make some connections, maybe Lord Shi would help her get the pass to Qianzhou.
"Miss Bai, I don't know what you are laughing at."
"Your Highness Prince Ning, am I smiling?"
Luo Yu looked confused.
Zhu Jinyou thought, I can’t deal with you now, but there will be plenty of ways to deal with you later.
After a while, Mr. Shi led Mrs. Shi and Miss Shi to the reception room.
When Lord Shi looked at Miss Qin and Luo Yu, he was slightly startled, then he remembered that Prince Rui had said that they seemed to be from Prince Ning's sect, so they should not be outsiders, let alone a threat, so his expression immediately returned to normal.
Mrs. Shi was also slightly stunned. She didn't expect that there were two young women there. The two girls were quite good-looking. Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ning liked them?
Although the younger daughter, Shi Die'er, was also good-looking, well-educated, and gentle, she wasn't as open-minded as the other two girls. However, having said that, Prince Ning was a member of the royal family after all, and his expectations of his princesses were certainly high. The words and actions of these two girls were not up to par.
Although Shi Die'er had met Miss Bai and Miss Qin, at this moment she only had eyes for His Royal Highness Prince Ning who was sitting in the center of the main hall.
How could it be him? The handsome man she'd met buying a bag that day? Shi Die'er remembered that she'd even asked her personal maid, Xiaoyun, to give him the most expensive bag. Would he see the note and recognize her? What should she do now? This was so embarrassing. How could she have embarrassed herself like this? His Royal Highness Prince Ning would surely think she was frivolous.
Yet, for some reason, she hoped that His Royal Highness Prince Ning would recognize her. Wasn't this also a kind of fate? Would he think so too?
Prince Ning has not opened the bag yet, and Song Si threw it into some corner.
Shi Die'er took a moment to notice Miss Bai and Miss Qin. Her heart soared, then plummeted. How could these two women be so familiar to Prince Ning? The last time she saw Miss Bai and Prince Ning, they didn't seem very familiar. Could it be that Miss Qin had introduced them? Miss Qin, with her facial scar, would surely be looked down upon by Prince Ning. So, was she trying to introduce Miss Bai to him?
Everyone in this family has their own ideas.
……
Luo Yu saw Shi Die'er's little face turning red and white, and knew that she was very shy at the moment.
After they paid their respects, Luo Yu and Qin Bingrui also paid their respects to Lord Shi and Madam Shi. Luo Yu then asked Shi Dier to sit next to her.
Shi Die'er was stunned, and then she thought of the day when she bought the bag. Her little face blushed again, and she slowly walked over and sat down. She was so adorable.
Luo Yu wanted to pinch the little girl's face. She was about fifteen years old, fair and tender, with a little baby fat on her face, rosy cheeks, big eyes, and a particularly innocent and cute look. She was wearing a pink dress, which made her look like a lovely little princess.
Luo Yu couldn't help but reach out and touch her smooth and tender little hand.
When Shi Die'er saw her touching her, she looked over with her big eyes, blinking, looking very innocent.
Luo Yu covered his mouth with one hand and asked softly, "Do you like His Royal Highness Prince Ning? You keep staring at him."
"No, it's nothing."
She was so shy and nervous that she almost bit her tongue.
"What are you afraid of? Girls should be brave enough to love and pursue. You did a great job last time!"
Shi Die'er raised her eyes and said bewilderedly: "Really?"
"Really? If I ever find out about Prince Ning's travels, I'll tell you secretly. If you find a chance to accidentally run into him, you'll have a better chance of creating a connection. Don't you agree?"
"You, why are you helping me?"
"Girls should help each other. You've seen 'Growing Up', right? You see how capable Miss Yang is. She becomes more courageous with every setback. Now that I know your secret, I'm sure I'll help you."
"Thank you, Miss Bai."
"You're welcome. Cute girls are all good sisters!"
"Ok!"
Shi Die'er nodded, and when she noticed that His Royal Highness Prince Ning was looking at them, she immediately lowered her eyes.
Prince Ning didn't know what they were talking about. He just looked at Miss Shi, whose face turned red and white, and Miss Bai was touching her hand. She looked like she was being teased.
Mr. Shi started to make trouble and reported some recent performance reports to him.
By the way, I would like to invite Prince Ning to have lunch at my house tomorrow.
Mrs. Shi noticed that Prince Ning cast his eyes on her daughter, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She was even more excited than if she herself was noticed by someone.
Prince Ning was just trying to find an excuse to refuse.
But Qin Bingrui interrupted: "Master Shi, do you plan to invite me and Miss Bai? We are short of one person!"
If that doesn't work, why not invite His Royal Highness Prince Rui to dine with us directly at Prince Ning's mansion?"
"Okay, okay!" Lord Shi said perfunctorily.
He wanted to give Prince Ning and his daughter a chance to have close contact. Why doesn't this Miss Qin understand?
King Ning's eyes darkened, and without saying a word, he asked them to decide on the time and place.
Luo Yu winked at Shi Die'er and whispered in her ear: "Tomorrow is your chance, so seize it."
Shi Die'er nodded shyly.
She felt that Miss Bai was a very nice person, as good as her own sister.
Lord Shi chatted with Prince Ning for a while, and it was almost time for dinner.
Prince Ning had no intention of inviting them to dinner.
Lord Shi was too embarrassed to admit his old mistake, so Madam Shi was sensible and said that she had made an appointment with a certain lady for tea. The whole family said goodbye to His Royal Highness Prince Ning and left the mansion.
Luo Yu also wanted to leave, but Qin Bingrui was still harping on the previous topic.
Since Zhu Jinyou doesn't agree, she won't leave and will just have a meal with him later.
Seeing that Qin Bingrui didn't give him any face, King Ning smiled and said, "You can also try to bribe me with something, maybe I will soften my heart?"
"Master Zhu, whether it's movable type printing, crystal glasses, or wheat harvesting props, we all own them in your name. It's all your credit. Isn't it too much for you to ask for?"
"Perhaps, there is something that will surprise me even more?"
"Not really." Luo Yu chuckled.
"Oh, Miss Bai, please speak."
"Agree to my terms, and I will naturally hand this invention over to you when we get to Jiangzhou."
She was full of confidence, neither humble nor arrogant, and there was not even any sophistry or cunning in her eyes.
It was the first time I saw such pure light in her eyes.
This treacherous woman.
"Okay, I promise you. By the way, what did you say to the young lady of the Shi family just now? She looked a little strange. Did you say anything bad about me to her?"
Luo Yu secretly complained, "Something's wrong. Isn't it because the girl has taken a fancy to you? How could a playboy like you who has been with so many women not know this? You're just pretending."
But she said: "She said she saw you in our chess and card room. I wonder if you remember me."
"Oh, is that so? I don't seem to have any impression of this." Zhu Jinyou thought of this and suddenly remembered the bag, so he said sarcastically, "But I do remember that a maid gave me a bag on behalf of someone. I wonder what it means?"
Qin Bingrui imitated his tone and said, "What else can it mean? I thought you were poor and couldn't afford it, so I gave it to you! I fell in love with you!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Zhu Jinyou set his eyes on Luo Yu. "Humph, you used this trick to seduce my brother back then, and now you want to seduce me again? Do you think you're a popular commodity that everyone loves?"
Oh, by the way, that Wutian Biography is really a hot commodity, why not ask her when it will be finished?
Luo Yu was puzzled. Why was this man staring at her with such a confused look? Did he think she fell in love with him?
What a perverted man.
Very narcissistic...
