Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sky was slightly bright and the sun was beginning to rise in the capital. The commoners went out to work as usual.
Gu Yihan had sealed off the news that Princess Yaoguang, Gu Nuo’er, had been taken away.
For a moment, no one knew that the little princess had left for Xili.
There were no classes at the state school today, so Jiang Xiaoran woke up early.
He had originally gone to Bai Yi’s residence to look for Ye Siming.
However, Bai Yi told him, “Siming went to the palace to accompany the princess.”
Jiang Xiaoran could only leave resentfully.
He rode his horse and leisurely passed by the street market, shaking his head and sighing.
“The princess is so young but Siming is already chasing after her. When Her Highness grows up, she’ll have to pay more attention to interactions between men and women. Wouldn’t Siming be sad then?”
The more he spoke, the more he could imagine Ye Siming’s expression when the time came.
He couldn’t help but click his tongue and shake his head.
At this moment, a fragrant pastry smell entered his nose. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Jiang Xiaoran turned around.
The Four Seasons Sweet Shop had just opened and many people were already queuing up to buy pastries.
Jiang Xiaoran pondered.
“Young master, just leave a surname.”
“My surname is Jiang.”
Qi Jingsheng wrote it down.
He smiled and said, “Young master, thank you for your support for this small shop. I’ll treat you to a plate of pastries. Please sit here and slowly taste them.”
Qi Jingsheng planned to pay out of his own pocket and invite Jiang Xiaoran to sit down and enjoy the pastries.
He turned around and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Xiaoran sat on the stool and raised his eyebrows, sighing. “As expected of the princess’s shop. The staff is really considerate.”
He picked up the lantern on the table and started reading from the sentence they had started the exchange at the beginning.
At this moment, Xie Yinxiang walked into the sweet shop.
The waiter at the side welcomed her. “Miss Xie, you’re here.”
Xie Yinxiang smiled. “Is Brother Jingsheng around?”
“He’s here. He just went to the kitchen. Miss Xie, wait for a moment. I’ll go call him for you.”
Xie Yinxiang quickly said, “There’s no need to trouble yourself. I’m here to take the lantern. I want to see... if that young master took the lantern away.”
The shop assistant smiled and said, “Then sit for a while and wait for Jingsheng to come and get it.”
Xie Yinxiang nodded and thanked him. Just as she was about to find a seat, she turned around and saw Jiang Xiaoran sitting not far away.
He was wearing embroidered clothes and a jade headgear. His eyes were elegant and he was holding a lantern in his hand, looking at it carefully.
Xie Yinxiang gradually widened her almond-shaped eyes.
That lantern... was hers!
