Chapter 452: Scented Sachet Rejected
Princess Qiluo had never expected that Pei Yili was not only talented, but also handsome.
Two blushes instantly appeared on her cute and pretty little face, and her heart was beating so fast that it seemed as if it would jump out of her throat in the next second.
She thought to herself: If she could succeed in marrying Prince Yi, she would definitely do her best to be good to him. She would make cakes, stew nourishing soups, make clothes, embroider sachets... and strive to become a virtuous wife for her beloved.
Qiluo has a simple mind and simply admires Pei Yili without any other interests involved.
Prince Pei Yanxun of Yan, who was far away, felt his heart tighten when he saw Princess Qiluo's performance.
Here, he has memories, he comes with the memories of the previous world.
The purpose of this life is very clear, which is to stop Qiluo from falling in love with the eighth brother.
If possible, he hopes that he and Qiluo can stay here together for the rest of their lives, living a peaceful life in harmony.
Stay away from mean men and toxic women. Avoid the tragedy of the last world.
……
At the same time, the arrogant Pei Yili also clearly noticed Princess Qiluo's fiery gaze in the crowd.
Seeing her staring at him infatuatedly, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Hmph, she looks so cute, but her mind is so deep. I haven't even taken the initiative to greet her, but the little princess has already started to flatter her?"
"My father once said that if someone shows his kindness to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. You must be vigilant against women, especially beautiful women, at all times to prevent them from plotting against you."
Pei Yili felt contempt in his heart, but he forced a kind smile towards Qiluo.
He picked up the wine in the glass and drank it all in one gulp. If others were plotting against him, he didn't mind taking advantage of the situation.
Qiluo was flattered by this sudden action. Her cheeks flushed. She picked up the wine glass with both hands, raised it towards Pei Yili, and then took a sip.
Before she knew it, her ears were red with embarrassment.
Pei Yili's eyes deepened, and his suspicion of her grew even stronger.
Such flattery must be a conspiracy against me.
This princess from a small country must be coming for the gunpowder depot of our Dafeng Kingdom. She is definitely a spy from another country.
……
Surprisingly, halfway through the banquet, the most famous Third Prince of Dafeng Kingdom and the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace did not show up at the table.
Some princesses could not wait any longer and exchanged sachets with some princes or royal relatives of Dafeng Kingdom, for fear of missing the opportunity.
Princess Qiluo gathered all her strength and gave herself many psychological hints before she mustered up the courage to walk up to Pei Yili.
"Your Highness Prince Yi, I am Qi Luo from the Nanlan Kingdom. I really like the poems you wrote, and many of them can be recited by heart."
Seeing that Pei Yili was not very interested, she bit her lip and handed him the sachet she had embroidered herself.
"I embroidered this sachet myself. It has the plum blossoms you praised. I hope you like it."
Pei Yili took the sachet and looked at it. Although the stitches and threads were rough, it was obvious that the embroiderer had put a lot of effort into it. Gold thread was added to almost every pattern.
Especially the small and delicate plum blossom, against the backdrop of gold thread, looks more like it is blooming in the sun, so lifelike.
Pei Yili curled his lips and smiled, then turned the back of the sachet over and found a word "Yi" embroidered on it. Alarm bells instantly went off in his heart.
Is this person coming for me?
The sachet was embroidered long ago. Is there any ulterior motive?
His expression changed slightly and he returned the sachet to Qiluo.
He only said, "Qiluo, Nanlan Kingdom, I will remember this name. It's a pity that I don't like plum blossom patterns, and I will disappoint the princess."
As he spoke, he casually took out a bunch of sachets and waved them in front of Qi Luo, "Besides, I have received too many sachets tonight. I really can't carry them all."
When Qiluo heard this, her face turned pale and she instantly understood what the other party meant.
She stretched out her hands to take the sachet back, her eyes filled with disappointment.
The man whom I have had a crush on for so many years should not like me. Not only that, he even seems a little disgusted with me.
Otherwise, why would he find such an excuse to reject me? Would I be unable to carry more sachets?
At this time, the crowd was already whispering, and some women had already begun to mock Qi Luo:
"She is pure and lovely, her face looks like she hasn't reached marriage age yet, and her figure is graceful. Wow, it's a pity that the prince of Dafeng only values inner qualities, and her beautiful appearance is wasted." said a woman.
"Who says it's not true? Prince Yi accepted so many sachets, even those from some inconspicuous girls, but he refused to accept Princess Qiluo's. It's obvious that he really doesn't like her." Another woman echoed.
Qiluo wanted to retort: "You are the ones who only have the appearance but no substance."
But now she has suffered a setback and can't muster up the fighting spirit for a while.
Everyone was talking at the same time. Qiluo was already feeling depressed, and now she felt even more embarrassed.
Pei Yili obviously heard it as well. He raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at Qiluo with his beautiful phoenix eyes with a smile, as if he wanted to embarrass her on purpose.
