Intertwine [New Version]

Chapter 13

The next morning, Zhao Xing was busy counting the Emperor's rewards. Her eyes were all green and she was grinning ear to ear, which made Wu Ruyi who sat before her couldn't take his eyes off her.

"Are you that happy?" Wu Ruyi asked, a faint smile played on his alluring face. His pair of eagle eyes sparkled with gentleness as he gaze dotingly at the young lady.

"Receiving a huge amount of gold and rewards, who don't feel happy ah?" Zhao Xing didn't bother to look up, she kept on counting the golds and recorded them on her small accounting book.

Wu Ruyi couldn't help but chuckled, "It's only several hundreds of golds! In the future I can give you more than this!"

The last sentence was stated in a low voice, to the point that it was more like a mumble to himself.

"Huh? What did you say?" The transmigrator suddenly lifted her head. She was blinking her eyes as she stare at Wu Ruyi inquiringly.

"Nothing! Forget it!"

Zhao Xing pouted in annoyance. In the next second, the girl changed the conversation topic as she counted more gold, "Ruyi-ah, it's a pity that last night you can't see my performance!"

"I—"

Ruyi was about to explain something before Xiao Yi suddenly barged into the inner chamber with a happy face. She was looked so excited till she was slightly jumping while strode over towards her young miss.

"Miss, Young Miss got an invitation from Her Highness, Princess Fangyi!" The maid quickly handed a small booklet elegantly decorated with begonia flowers and branching stems painting to her second miss.

"Princess Fangyi?" Hearing that name, Zhao Xing instantly ditch her golds and rewards. She took the invitation booklet from Xiao Yi's hands and read the contents carefully.

"Her Highness closest maid, Elder Sister Jing Yuan, said that the Princess is inviting Young Miss to join her enjoying the sunset and dinner!"

This was the first time Zhao Xing made a friend in the capital city. Back then, she was never went outside the manor and never socialized with the noble ladies of the capital. But now that she got an invitation from the Princess, it seemed like the Princess truly wanted to befriend with her miss. Xiao Yi couldn't be more happy!

"Xiao Yi-ah, there's not much time left until sunset. Let's get ready and quickly go to Her Highness' manor!"

Zhao Xing was super duper excited as well, she was all smiling till her eyes resembled a crescent moon that was hanging at the night sky. This would be the first time she visit her manor idol!

Meeting Princess Fangyi was such a jackpot for her. She was not only got a friend, but could have the opportunity to meet with her beloved general as well!

The one and only person who put an annoyed face was Wu Ruyi...

When Zhao Xing and Xiao Yi arrived at Lan Ling Wang's manor, a middle-aged butler with kind and warm appearance was already waiting for their arrival.

Standing in front of the grand, iron gate of the General's manor, he was wearing a dark green satin robe and was extremely delighted when he finally met with the first female guest of their residence.

"Welcome to our manor, Miss Zhao Xing," The head butler smiled and bow his head to greet the second miss. "Greetings to Second Young Miss. This servant surname is Li, and it such an honor for this servant to finally able to meet with Second Young Miss!"

Zhao Xing bent her knees and let out a genuine smile to return the warm greetings, "Uncle Li is too polite! It's this junior who should pay respect to Uncle Li!"
