Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 458 The Prince Arrives at Cuizhu Garden

The prince had just walked to the gate of Cuizhu Garden. He hesitated a little, raised his hand and put it down again, but in the end it did not fall on the door.

He thought: It's still early. If I go in so rashly, Yu'er will probably dislike me again because of her temper!

The prince stood at the door. He hesitated for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him:

"How about I try my luck over at the east wall?

At this time, I think Zijuan might be preparing food for Yu'er!"

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared on the prince's face, and he walked quickly towards the east wall.

When he reached the east wall, he quickly moved a few stones, piled them together, stepped on them, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside.

Sure enough, he saw Zijuan busy in the small kitchen. The fire on the stove was burning brightly and porridge seemed to be cooking in the pot.

The prince was delighted. He quickly picked up a stone from the ground and knocked on the window on the wall.

However, to his surprise, Zijuan seemed not to hear the sound at all. She was still concentrating on staring at the porridge in the pot, stirring it from time to time.

Seeing this, the prince became anxious. He knocked on the window harder, but Zijuan still did not respond.

The prince couldn't help but feel puzzled and thought:

This girl is so focused in everything she does!

Or did she think the sound was just the wind blowing?

The prince took a deep breath and whistled towards the window.

The whistle sounded clear and loud.

However, Zijuan still didn't look up, her attention seemed completely attracted by the pot of porridge.

The prince's patience was gradually worn out. He was extremely anxious. Seeing that Zijuan was indifferent to all kinds of sounds, he suddenly came up with an idea.

Without saying a word, the prince opened his mouth and imitated the cuckoo's call, calling "cuckoo cuckoo" a few times.

Zijuan was just about to serve the cooked porridge to Daiyu.

Just now, she heard a slight knock on the window, followed by a short whistle.

Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Zijuan couldn't help but murmur in her heart:

"Who is knocking on the window so late at night?

He's whistling, is it some boy trying to tease me?"

She wanted to ignore it and continue to serve the porridge, but the sound was intermittent, which made her a little upset.

Just as she was about to get up and take a look, the strange cuckoo call came again.

Zijuan's brows furrowed suddenly, and she said angrily:

"Who is this? Why are you causing trouble so late at night?"

She looked up angrily and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

I was getting more and more angry, and I muttered softly:

"How annoying! It's so cold, and you come out to scare people instead of staying indoors!"

Zijuan suppressed her anger and focused her attention back on the bowl of porridge.

She carefully poured the porridge into a bowl and gently placed it on the table.

But the moment she turned around, the annoying cuckoo's call rang out again at an inopportune time.

"What exactly is going on?"

Zijuan became increasingly suspicious: "Where does the cuckoo call in the dead of winter come from?"

The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed to her, and for a moment she was even in a trance.

Just as she was daydreaming, her hand accidentally slipped and the bowl of red date porridge she had just filled fell to the ground with a "bang". The splashing porridge scalded her hand.

Zijuan screamed and quickly retracted her hand, only to see a blush appear on the back of her originally white hand.

All of this was seen by the prince standing behind the window.

Seeing Zijuan being burned, he felt a little sorry and knocked on the window gently while shouting:

"Miss Zijuan, it's me, the king. I really can't wait until that time to come over. I'm behind your window now!"

When Zijuan heard the prince's voice, she came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream.

She endured the pain in her hand and quickly walked to the window.

She saw the prince's figure through the thick parchment and couldn't help but feel a little surprised:

"Why are you here so early?"

The prince's eyes fell on Zijuan's red, scalded hand, and his brows knitted slightly. He lowered his voice and told Zijuan:

"Go get some salt and sprinkle it on the back of your hand. It will be fine in a while."

After hearing what the prince said, Zijuan was about to turn around to get the salt, but suddenly hesitated.

She thought to herself:

"Never mind, never mind, let me be the bad guy."

So she changed her mind and decided to let the prince in secretly.

Zijuan brought the bowl of red date porridge and came to Daiyu. She winked at Xueyan again, and then heard Xueyan say slowly:

"Miss, do you still remember the poem by Miss Qin, Miss Bao's younger sister - Last night I dreamt of the red building, tonight I chanted in the water country!

I only know that Japanese women have blonde hair and blue eyes, but I don’t know what foreign men look like.”

Daiyu was drinking her porridge with her head down. When she heard Xueyan say this, she couldn't help but smile and blurted out:

"Yes, my Zijuan and Xueyan, you are in the prime of your life, it's time to get married!

I don’t know whether this sister Qin has been married off. The ancestor wanted to give her to Baoyu back then, but didn’t expect Baochai to become his second wife?

Life is so unpredictable! "

Before he could finish his words, he heard Zijuan say mysteriously:

"Girl, do you want to meet an Oriental man?"

Daiyu, upon hearing this, naturally patted Zijuan's shoulder gently, pointed at them and scolded them with a smile:

"You little chatterboxes, I really should marry you all off!"

Zijuan still didn't give up, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, then take a look for yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blond and blue-eyed foreign man came into the room.

He was wearing an Oriental tuxedo, a black top hat, and a beard covering his face, giving people a mysterious feeling.

He just stood there, like a visitor from outer space, out of tune with the surrounding environment.

Daiyu was so frightened that she thought she was hallucinating. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the stranger who suddenly broke in in disbelief.

Just as she was about to call Zijuan and Xueyan over, the foreign man unexpectedly greeted her in a foreign accent:

"Dear Madam Fujin, hello?"

Daiyu was at a loss for words. She had no idea how to respond to this strange foreign man.

Before Daiyu could come to her senses, the foreign man raised his thumb again and said confidently:

"I am a missionary who came here with Master Pan from the Imperial Observatory. I am a good friend of the prince in your mansion."

The foreign man seemed to sense Daiyu's embarrassment and quickly broke the awkward atmosphere:

"I also know how to read palms. If you don't mind, I can take a look at it for you."

To Daiyu, asking a stranger to read her palm was simply a fantasy!

She couldn't help but curse inwardly: Why let a foreigner come to our house?

Is this foreigner crazy?

The more Daiyu thought about it, the more absurd it seemed to her. So she stood up without hesitation, gestured with her hands, and told him in the most polite tone:

“Thank you for your kindness, but I’m really not interested.

Please go back!"

However, as soon as she said this, Daiyu felt something was wrong. But before she had time to think about it, the missionary actually stood up and walked towards her.

Seeing this, Daiyu became more and more flustered and quickly turned around to avoid it.

But the moment she turned around, the two of them bumped into each other!

There was a sound of "hiss", and the missionary's beard was pulled off in an instant as if by magic!

Not only that, the eyebrows that were stuck on his face fell off along with the beard, revealing a handsome face that was originally covered by the beard!

Daiyu took a closer look and was stunned - how could this man be the prince?

When she came to her senses, she immediately urged the prince to leave: "Even if you become the Jade Emperor, I will not welcome you. Get out of here!"
