Medical Princess

Chapter 578 One Mentioned His Identity Implicitly, While the Other One Was Artificial

Chu Qing walked into the pavilion slowly, followed by a young male servant. Seeing Shao Yanru sitting there, he asked softly, “Miss, can I ask for a cup of tea?”

He asked in an extremely polite tone. As a gentle and handsome childe, who met an elegant and pretty lady by chance, he behaved properly with a good look.

However, Shao Yanru frowned. She recognized Chu Qing! But he should show up in front of Shao Wanru instead of showing up in front of her at the moment. Could it be that he had not found Shao Wanru yet?

“Shuqi, do we have another cup?” Shao Yanru looked at Chu Qing calmly and asked, wondering what was going on!

Shuqi got it, took out another cup from her bag, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chu Qing respectfully. Chu Qing took it with a smile. After taking two sips, he looked at Shao Yanru with a smile and said, “Miss, I’m wondering which mansion you come from. I’m sorry to disturb you today. I’ll send you a tea set to thank you for offering me a cup of tea today!”

He meant to express his gratitude after drinking the tea offered by Shao Yanru.

Shao Yanru stood up, bowed sideways and said, “It’s very kind of you to say so. It’s just a cup of tea and not worth mentioning.”

“It’s just a cup of tea for you, but it means more than a cup of tea for me. Miss, you should give me a chance to express my gratitude!”

Chu Qing said with an increasingly gentle smile, holding the tea cup and politely standing far away from Shao Yanru out of the pavilion instead of sitting opposite to her. He looked so polite and well-behaved that people could tell at first glance that he was a scrupulously honest gentleman and childe endowed with both beauty and talent cultivated by an aristocratic family.

Compared with those profligate and foppish childes, whose attention was easily attracted by a lady, he was much better.

But even so, he showed some amiability in his tone. After looking up at Shao Yanru, he lowered his head with a slight blush, which endowed his words a different meaning!

But it was not annoying!

No Miss from an aristocratic family would consider this extremely implicit but polite behavior annoying. He behaved so properly that he didn’t even enter the pavilion for fear of ruining the reputation of the Miss in the pavilion.

“He’s quite artificial!” Yujie could not help whispering. She could not hear their conversation, but thought that both of them were artificial.

Needless to say, the First Miss was artificial enough. She seemed to be benevolent and kind, dignified and decent and cautious at any time, but in fact, she was black-hearted and vicious. As long as she got a chance, she would try every way to set up Shao Wanru. Now Yujie had seen it clearly that the First Miss was probably even more black-hearted and vicious than the First Miss Qin.

Nevertheless, the First Miss looked much kinder with a good reputation, which made the First Miss Qin no match for her!

Hearing Yujie’s words, Shao Wanru smiled slightly without saying anything. She raised her long eyelashes and looked at the pair of pleasant couple through the gap between the trees.

It was a pity that both of them were scheming, which ruined the romantic scene at the moment. She could not figure out what was going on till now!

The man should be Commandery Prince Qing. Although she was far away from him yesterday, she had seen him faintly. She did not recognize him immediately, but after thinking for a while, she was told by the sense of familiarity that the man in front of her was the newly entitled Commandery Prince Qing, who was not a kind person!

Shao Yanru intended to hook up with Commandery Prince Qing? Leaving promising Prince Zhou and Prince Yue alone and turning to Commandery Prince Qing, who was powerless and seemed to be unpromising? It really didn’t seem like what Shao Yanru would do.

That was to say, they met by chance!

However, if they met by chance, it was unreasonable for Shao Yanru to be specially dressed. Shao Wanru glanced at Shao Yanru’s black clothes, which were similar to hers, and the white jade hairpin on Shao Yanru’s head. It looked a little similar to the white jade hairpin on her head. She squinted slightly and thought that it seemed to be interesting!

“Miss, when did the First Miss change her hairpin?” Yujie also noticed Shao Yanru’s hairpin at this time and asked in surprise.

“She probably changed it when going back with Shuqi!” Shao Wanru twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a sarcastic smile.

When they set out, Shao Yanru said that she had sprained her ankle and suggested that they should enter the forest separately. Shao Wanru didn’t notice that Shao Yanru had changed her hairpin at the moment!

“The First Miss is dressed like you today, and even wear a hairpin similar to yours. Could it be possible that she asked the childe to meet here in your name?” Yujie pounded on the stream and said in rage.

Two little fishes, which were swimming cheerfully in the stream, were frightened and escaped in a panic.

Shao Wanru felt her heart skipped a beat. If Shao Yanru was pretending to be her and exchanging amorous glances with Commandery Prince Qing, she should go out now and ruin Shao Yanru’s plan!

However, she inexplicably felt that it was not so simple. Shao Yanru was not a simple person. How could Shao Yanru allow her plan to be exposed so easily?

“Let’s wait and see!” Shao Wanru smiled slightly and said unhurriedly. She was not anxious and preferred to see how it would end instead of coming forward and being a part of it.

“My master is a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion and doesn’t need a tea set. Young Master, you don’t have to do that!” In the pavilion, on hearing Chu Qing’s words, Shuqi raised her neck and said arrogantly.

Duke Xing’s Mansion represented power in the capital city.

“It turns out that you are a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion. I’ve been indiscreet to say that. If I have a chance next time, I will definitely send you my gratitude from my prince’s mansion, Miss Shao!” Chu Qing said, put the teacup in the hands of the servant behind him and bowed deeply to Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru hurriedly got up to avoid it and then bowed sideways to return the salute!

“Prince’s mansion, you are...” Shuqi asked in astonishment with her eyes wide open, seeming to be too shocked to talk at the moment!

It was normal for her, who was a maid, to make a fuss when being startled. But she immediately collected herself, restrained her panic and bowed deeply to Chu Qing like Shao Yanru. As a personal maid of a Miss from an aristocratic family, she reacted naturally and properly.

The Miss was adorable, and her maid was polite and smart.

“Miss Shao, I’ll leave you to the beautiful scenery now. Since I’ve used this cup, I’m not going to give it back to you because it’s improper to do so. I’ll give you a new tea set later!” Chu Qing said gently with a bright smile on his face. After that, he waved his full sleeves, turned around, and strode away.

Seeing him leave, Shao Yanru blinked her eyes. She had not figured out why Chu Qing showed up in front of her instead of showing up in front of Shao Wanru until now. Looking around and not finding Shao Wanru, she became increasingly confused.

But she didn’t show it on her face, but suddenly asked, “Your Highness, can I ask that have you seen a girl, who looks like me and dresses like me?”

She inquired about the other girl instead of inquiring about the identity of the prince. If he knew that she was inquiring about her Fifth Sister, he would definitely consider her a good sister, who was concerned about her sister under any circumstances.

“Oh, I wonder who you are looking for, Miss Shao?” Chu Qing turned around and asked with a smile.

“She is my sister. I wonder if you have seen her when you came here.” Shao Yanru asked softly with a frown. Her pretty eyes, coupled with her frown, made her look lovingly pathetic. Although her face was covered with a veil, it didn’t decrease her tenderness.

It was difficult for a man to resist her charm, especially for a man, who had expressed his affection implicitly and properly a moment ago!

“I haven’t seen her. Did she get lost? Can I help you look for her?” Chu Qing said and showed some concern, which was proper enough to arouse affection.

Shao Wanru watched them from a distance and couldn’t help sighing. They were really a match for each other and seemed to have expressed affection when communicating with each other. Although they were far away from each other and seemed to behave properly with two servants around, they inexplicably showed some affection for each other.

“Thank you, Your Highness. If you see her, please tell her to come here. I’ll wait for her here!” Shao Yanru bowed sideways again and said.

“Okay!” Chu Qing agreed readily. After glancing at Shao Yanru again, he turned to leave with his servant without revealing his identity at the end.

Although there were a few princes in the capital city and all of them were the descendants of the royal family, there was difference between princes. In view of his age, no one would guess that he was Prince Cheng. Of course, no one would guess that he was the sickly Prince Chen. Sometimes it was better to mention “his prince’s mansion” than to tell his name directly.

Both Prince Yue and Prince Zhou were of higher status than him!

One of them mentioned his identity implicitly, while the other one was artificial. They were very well matched. Seeing that Commandery Prince Qing was crossing over, Shao Wanru pulled Yujie to hide in the shadow of the stone. He seemed to be coming towards her. Could it be possible that he got some hint from Shao Yanru and came to look for her?

Although Shao Wanru didn’t think that he would be tricked by Shao Yanru easily, Shao Wanru did not want to meet him at this time so that he couldn’t make use of the favorable current situation. Fortunately, there was a big stone here, which hid her and Yujie.

Seeing Chu Qing walk past the big stone beside them in a hurry, Shao Wanru and Yujie poked their heads out and looked at the pavilion in the distance. Shuqi was cleaning the stone table. It seemed that they were going to go inside.

Shao Yanru came out of the pavilion neatly, showing no difficulty in walking as she did with the help of Shuqi before. As she expected, Shao Yanru just did that in front of her in order to take a different route to enter the forest!

It seemed that there were quite a lot of scenery along the way today!

Shao Wanru and Yujie didn’t turn around, go back to the previous path and continue walking forward until Chu Qing vanished in their sight. If Shao Wanru didn’t guess wrong, Commandery Prince Qing was walking ahead of them now...
