Chapter 35 Resolute
"Okay." Jiang Zhi nodded, stretched out her hand, and let them help her change clothes.
Putting on a light blue jacket and a white skirt, Jiang Zhi sat in front of the dressing table.
The maid fetched water for Jiang Zhi to wash up and then started to dress up. First, she put the upper part of her hair into two buns on both sides, and the hair at the back naturally hung down behind her.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the maid's skillful hands move over her head, combing her hair into a bun.
"Princess, what kind of hairpin do you want?" The maid opened the jewelry box with red lacquer and carved plum blossoms. There were countless golden hairpins inside, but none of them was to her liking.
The maid was not satisfied when she saw her, so she put down the jewelry box, took out a small sandalwood box from the mahogany box behind the screen, and opened it.
Jiang Zhi picked up an exquisite jade hairpin that was all green. The head of the hairpin was composed of three light green flowers, and three jade bead pendants hung from the bottom.
Then he picked up a small beaded flower of the same color and handed it to Jiang Zhi. This headdress is exquisite but not ostentatious, simple but unconventional.
Jiang Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
The maid put hairpins and pearl flowers in the two buns respectively, and held up the bronze mirror for Jiang Zhi to look at.
The person in the mirror has lightly swept eyebrows and spring-like eyes, her skin is as smooth as warm jade, and her small cherry mouth is red without any spots.
The two strands of hair on the side of the cheek gently blow in the wind, adding a bit of seductive charm, while the flexible eyes move intelligently, a bit naughty and a bit cute.
The most conspicuous thing is the red mole on the forehead, which is so delicate and charming.
Looking at the mole on her forehead, Jiang Zhi said to the maid: "Go get a writing brush."
The maid didn't ask what it was for, so she went outside to get a brush.
Jiang Zhi took the pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and drew a plum blossom on her forehead. The tender greenness on her originally beautiful face faded away, revealing a trace of charm and charm.
If he used to be like a direct immortal, with outstanding grace and grace that captivated the country and the city, now he seems like a fairy who accidentally fell into the mortal world and was stained by all the connections in this world.
"Princess, she looks even more beautiful than before!" The maid couldn't help but praise.
Jiang Zhi looked at herself in the glass mirror again.
A delicate pink plum blossom on her forehead is just right, and her shiny black hair, snow-white slender neck and well-defined collarbone are just right exposed outside the collar.
Jiang Zhi smiled slightly at the mirror.
Jiang Zhi thought to herself: How could Gao Yehua be attracted by her appearance?
He called the maid, prepared the carriage, and headed to the prince's residence.
Along the courtyard wall with red walls and green tiles, roses have begun to sprout. Some impatient ones have been covered with green and reddish, white or yellow flower buds, crawling out along the fan-shaped or circular carved lattice window lattice on the courtyard wall.
Outside the wall, young moss and green thorns sway in the wind, as if holding clothes and waiting for words, outlining a moving picture.
When they arrived at the prince's residence, Gao Yehua was sitting in the hall.
Gao Yehua received a message from Jiang Xia early in the morning, saying that he had something important for him, so he waited in his house. Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Zhi who he saw.
He couldn't help but was stunned and asked: "Who are you?" Gao Yehua felt that she looked familiar. She seemed to be the maid next to Jiang Xia, but she was not a maid in this dress.
"Your Highness, I am Jiang Zhi." Jiang Zhi said, bowing slightly.
When Jiang Zhicong saw the elegant young man Gao Yehua standing in the hall, her body stiffened involuntarily. She just looked at him, without having to think about tabooing anything or worrying about being discovered.
For the first time, she discovered that he looked so heroic and handsome, as if he was a god descending from the earth, transcending the world.

Jiang Zhi? Princess of Liulan Kingdom?
Gao Yehua looked at Jiang Zhi and frowned slightly. He understood somewhat in his heart, but he didn't point it out. Gao Yehua is a smart man. If he doesn't understand after seeing this, then he is really stupid.
But if she really fell in love with him, he would really find it difficult. He really had no feelings for a man or a woman towards the princess of Liulan Kingdom.
The maid served tea to the two of them and then carefully exited the hall.
The room was burning with the elegant light bamboo fragrance, which made people feel refreshed. Only in the homes of wealthy families could the finest spices be burned.
Gao Yehuaqing cleared his throat, clenched the tea bowl in his hand, and placed his slender fingers on the elegant tea bowl, which was exquisite and eye-catching.
"Princess, why did you come here today?" Gao Yehua said calmly.
Seeing Gao Yehua's indifferent expression, not taking his well-dressed self seriously, Jiang Zhi had some unknown emotions and said casually: "Why are there so many things in this world that are impossible?"
"Nothing is impossible in this world. As long as you dare to think and do it, everything is possible!" Gao Yehua seemed to be thinking about his own affairs.
"Really? So as long as I work hard, I can still be with the person I love?" Jiang Zhi thought Gao Yehua said this for herself.
Gao Yehua's back stiffened slightly. What he said was not true. Why did it turn out like this when it came out of Jiang Zhi's mouth? He raised his eyes and met Jiang Zhi's eyes. Although his expression was still indifferent,
His eyes were a bit more serious.
"Princess, that's not what I'm talking about. As for who your favorite princess is, I don't know whether he can succeed or not!"
"The one I like most is His Royal Highness. Your Highness, can you tell me if I can get what I want if I work hard?"
Jiang Zhi didn't know where she got the courage to ask this question that was deep in her heart.
"This..." Gao Yehua's face froze slightly. Although he didn't like Jiang Zhi, he still needed to give the princess some respect.
When Jiang Zhi saw this, she felt very desperate. She bit her pink lips gently. As a princess, it was not easy for her to do this.
Gao Yehua had already rejected the marriage proposal in the main hall, but he was still persistent.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be embarrassed. In fact, I have been struggling for a long time. Should I come or not? Prince, you have clearly rejected the marriage in the main hall. I just want to tell you my feelings. Even if I am disappointed in the end.
return."
Something in Gao Yehua's heart was slightly touched.
After all, Jiang Zhi is a woman and a princess. It is indeed difficult for her to reveal her feelings to a man. However, he cannot accept her feelings.
Jiang Zhi suddenly stood up and walked to the window. The breeze blew on her face, ruffling a few strands of hair around her ears, but it made her look even more beautiful.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince may not know that the first time I entered the palace and the first time I saw you, my heart no longer belonged to me. The Crown Prince does not need to be embarrassed. Maybe one day, this feeling will come true after a long time."
If it is dull, it will be forgotten.”
She looked towards Gao Yehua and saw that Gao Yehua had already stood up. He was dressed in rich clothes and walked to Jiang Zhi's side. Although there was still a distance between them, they were already able to stand side by side.
Gao Yehua had always known that there were many women chasing him, but he never paid attention to them. He felt that such women were just coveting the royal family's wealth and power.
Although he still has no feelings for Jiang Zhi now, he
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But he was slightly moved by her silent love for him.
"Princess, I'm sorry, even if I know your intentions, I can't deceive you. I already have my heart." In the end, he can only live up to it, he can't force himself.
Jiang Zhi turned her head and looked at the graceful profile of the man next to her, feeling warm in her heart. She enjoyed this moment, the feeling of standing side by side with him.
"Your Highness, there is no need to apologize, and there is no need to bear any burden. This is my own personal feeling, and Your Highness does not have any responsibility!"
After she finished speaking, she smiled softly, as if the embarrassment of being rejected had disappeared.
"The princess is dignified and elegant, and she is even more beautiful and generous. She will definitely wait for the one she truly deserves!"
Gao Yehua looked sincere. He really hoped that Jiang Zhi would find a good home, but it was not him.
"Really? Is there really someone who should be waiting for you? Maybe, but unfortunately I may not be able to wait for you!" After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. Jiang Zhi squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your Highness, nothing happens.
, I’ll take my leave first!”
"Come here, let's see the princess off." Gao Yehua is a decisive and neat person who doesn't like to get entangled.
Jiang Zhi nodded, walked out of the hall, turned her head, looked lonely at Gao Yehua, who was still standing in front of the window, and left.
In the end, it is the falling flowers that are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless. Maybe I am really too naive. Relationships are not something that can make two people see each other and come together just because they think they are suitable.
In the Ambassador's Lodge.
"Xiao Zhi, don't hold it in, cry if you want!" Jiang Xia felt a little distressed when she saw Jiang Zhi's painful look.
Today, he indulged Jiang Zhi to find Gao Yehua. He knew that Jiang Zhi would have no consequences, but he still let her go.
Jiang Zhi heard Jiang Xia's comfort and finally couldn't help crying softly: "I am really sad and sad. Although I have always known in my heart that the person in the eyes of His Royal Highness has never been me. But when I really faced him, my heart
It still hurts so much..."
In the wine shop, Jiang Zhi was sitting by the railing next to the water. Her red dress looked extremely dull and desolate.
Her whole body was filled with a determination not to be approached by strangers, a determination that she was the only one in the world.
Jiang Xia followed Jiang Zhi to protect her.
In order not to attract attention, a group of guards wore casual clothes and sat at the next table, constantly checking the surroundings.
Xiangwan's Fenglin Imperial City did not appear lonely because of the dark black layout.
Although the hanging clouds and mist that stretched from the edge to the center of the curtain were very low, at a glance, the atmosphere seemed a bit bleak.
But when the lanterns first came on and the lamps in the teahouses and restaurants were lit one after another, the so-called haze quickly dissipated.
And because of the sunset over the low-hanging clouds in the sky, it always reveals another unusual and different kind of night prosperity.
The night is full of flowers and the lanterns are as bright as day. It has always been a unique and beautiful scene in the peaceful and prosperous times.
Jiang Zhi sat upright and meditated.
She nodded and raised her thick eyelashes, taking advantage of the wind blowing in her face to take an impromptu glance at the night scene outside the building. The carp and lotus pond celadon cup she was playing with in her fingers was clasped by her.
This action seems to be leisurely, but in fact it is boring in the midst of boredom.
Jiang Xia, who was sitting opposite Jiang Zhi, looked very calm, nodding slightly, and there was precipitation in his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to speak.
Jiang Zhi held the wine cup and took a sip of fresh wine.
