Chapter 477 Making Friends Again
"Looking at it this way, Princess Zhaoning and General Lu are truly a perfect match!" Shu Ran didn't notice Qianqian's awkward expression and continued talking to herself.
"I really admire Princess Zhaoning!" Shuran couldn't help but exclaim. "Qianqian, do you think she would talk to me if I took the initiative to befriend her?"
Shu Ran recalled that in the past, she had only felt envy towards Xiao Siyue. She felt that Xiao Siyue was like a star in the sky, unattainable and only to be admired from afar. However, now her envy had gradually transformed into sincere respect.
In Shu Ran's eyes, Xiao Siyue is no longer just a beautiful woman, but a charming and intelligent one. Every move she makes and every word she speaks exudes a unique charisma that captivates everyone.
The more Shuran thought about it, the more she felt that Princess Zhaoning was a friend worth making, so she decided to muster up the courage to try and build a friendship with her. Although she didn't know if Princess Zhaoning would accept her, she was willing to try because she believed that as long as she treated others sincerely, she would definitely gain genuine friendship.
After talking for a while, Shu Ran realized that Qian Qian was ignoring her at all, and asked curiously, "Qian Qian, why aren't you saying anything?"
"Huh? Shuran, what did you say?"
"Qianqian, what's wrong? I mean, if I go and befriend Princess Zhaoning, would she be willing?" Shuran looked at Qianqian with longing and excitement.
"What? No way." Although Qianqian had some feelings for Xiao Siyue and had to admit that Xiao Siyue was very capable, she was unwilling to let Shuran be Xiao Siyue's friend.
"Why not? Qianqian, you still don't like Princess Zhaoning? But what you guessed before was all wrong. Princess Zhaoning isn't just good at family background; on the contrary, she's better than all of us. You know the influence of Songyue Study, don't you?" Shuran was very puzzled.
Qianqian felt angry and aggrieved as she watched Shuran praise Xiao Siyue's friend so highly. Shuran was clearly her friend, so why was she praising another woman like that? Even if Princess Zhaoning was outstanding, they were still her best friends since childhood!
Although Qianqian felt wronged, she had no reason to refute her friend's words. She simply said, "Shuran, that's not what I meant. I meant that Princess Zhaoning is of noble status and might not want to be friends with us. I was just afraid that you would be sad in the future."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ran smiled and said, "No, I don't think Princess Zhaoning is the kind of person who values status. Besides, even if she refuses, it's okay. I won't be sad. Qianqian, let's go."
"Alright then," Qianqian said helplessly, and had no choice but to agree.
The two stood in the corner and whispered to each other.
Xiao Siyue was about to leave after finishing her business.
Today has been a busy day, and Xiao Siyue feels completely exhausted.
"Third Sister-in-law, let's go back."
"Yue'er, what about what happened here?" Xi Ningzhi had already been informed of the incident by the guards. She hurriedly brought Ranran to Xiao Siyue's side, intending to help Xiao Siyue, but found that there was no use in it. She could only watch quietly from the side.
"Don't worry about this. I've already notified Xiaoyu, she can handle the rest."
“Alright, let’s go back.” Xi Ningzhi nodded.
"Qianqian, hurry, they're leaving." Seeing Xiao Siyue about to leave, Shuran quickly pulled Qianqian to catch up.
"Princess Zhaoning, please wait a moment." Shu Ran called out quickly, fearing that Xiao Siyue would leave.
Xiao Siyue stopped when she heard someone call her name, and saw two beautiful young women walking towards her.
Who are they? Xiao Siyue thought carefully, but still couldn't remember who they were.
"Who are you?" Xiao Siyue looked at the two girls. The two girls had different expressions. One looked at her with bright eyes, while the other's eyes were shifty but not malicious.
"Greetings, Princess Zhaoning. My name is Zhao Shuran, and this is Lin Qianqian," Zhao Shuran introduced.
"You two must be the daughters of Physician Zhao and the Vice Minister of the Imperial Clan Court, right?" Xi Ningzhi noticed Xiao Siyue's confusion and immediately spoke up. Although she was already married, she still knew a fair bit about the young ladies in the capital.
However, these two people should not have any connection with Yue'er, so it's unclear why they are looking for Yue'er.
“That’s right, Sister Xi is so smart.” Zhao Shuran was lively and immediately called Xi Ningzhi “sister” with a smile when she heard her words.
Xi Ningzhi smiled, not at all annoyed by Zhao Shuran's overly familiar manner.
After hearing her third sister-in-law's words, Xiao Siyue also learned about the two people's identities.
"I wonder what brings you two ladies to me?" Xiao Siyue asked gently.
Upon hearing Xiao Siyue's words, the usually lively Zhao Shuran suddenly lowered her head somewhat embarrassed. However, realizing that this was impolite, she quickly raised her head again, only to be met with Xiao Siyue's stunningly beautiful face.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Siyue looked at Zhao Shuran's face, which had suddenly turned red, and felt a strange sensation in her heart. Why did she look like she was seeing her beloved?
Xiao Siyue quickly shook her head to shake off that absurd thought. What was she thinking? They were all girls.
Lin Qianqian looked at her friend's expression and was speechless. Didn't she just say she wanted to be friends with Princess Zhaoning? What's wrong with her now?
She gently nudged Zhao Shuran with her arm, and when she saw Zhao Shuran looking at her, she quickly tried on a color.
Zhao Shuran let out a soft breath, her eyes fixed on Xiao Siyue. Then, she mustered her courage and said in a clear voice, "Princess Zhaoning, may I become your friend?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Shuran's heart pounded like a drum. She looked at Xiao Siyue nervously, her palms sweating, afraid that Xiao Siyue would refuse her request.
Xiao Siyue and Xi Ningzhi were clearly stunned by Zhao Shuran's words; they had never expected this girl to say such a thing. For a moment, both of them were speechless, unsure how to respond.
Seeing that Xiao Siyue didn't answer immediately, Zhao Shuran became even more uneasy. Thinking that Xiao Siyue had misunderstood her, she quickly explained, "Princess Zhaoning, please rest assured, I absolutely meant no harm. I just think you are incredibly talented; both your talent and your demeanor are admirable. Therefore, I really want to become your friend and learn from you."
Zhao Shuran became increasingly excited as she spoke, her voice unconsciously rising slightly. She hoped to move Xiao Siyue with her sincerity and make her understand her feelings.
Xiao Siyue chuckled softly, her voice gentle: "Of course, I'm so glad to have such a lovely friend like you."
Zhao Shuran's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Thank you, Princess Zhaoning." Zhao Shuran was overjoyed and immediately took Lin Qianqian's hand, saying, "Qianqian, did you hear that? Princess Zhaoning is my friend now."
"I heard you." Lin Qianqian said helplessly.
