Chapter 15 They Thought It Was Him
For some reason.
They all thought the person I chose was Jing Xuan.
The more I said “I chose no one,” the less they believed me.
While I was at the embroidery shop, quite a few noble madams were gossiping.
I stared at the pattern I was embroidering and couldn’t help thinking— just because I looked at him one extra time among the three?
The Emperor said Father had set the wedding date for the fifteenth of next month.
Embroidering the wedding clothes myself would definitely be too late.
Of course.
Even if there was time, I wouldn’t embroider them.
I paid a deposit.
The shopkeeper asked where to deliver the wedding clothes on the day.
Before I could answer.
Jing Xuan’s voice came from behind: “When the day comes, someone will naturally come to collect them.”
Huh?
No.
Jing Xuan couldn’t also think I chose him, right.
I silently rolled my eyes in my heart and repeated to the shopkeeper, “I’ll send someone to collect them myself on the day.”
Jing Xuan followed me the whole way.
I ignored him until we reached Xianglou.
Today the Top Courtesan of Xianglou was hosting a poetry gathering.
I specially came to watch.
In the past when that person was around, he always brought me in.
Now Jing Xuan pulled me back, refusing to let me enter.
And righteously declared, “Cui Qingyi! Do you even know what kind of place this is!”
How could I not know.
I was a regular!
Luckily while at the embroidery shop I’d secretly signaled Chen Bo to send someone to call Yingying.
Jing Xuan didn’t know.
Yingying and I were actually quite close.
Wishing them sons was serious.
