Now the sweat was sticking to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable. That's why she wanted to take a bath. What on earth was this girl thinking?
However, Su Mingyu didn't bother to explain. She simply turned around and walked into the room.
When Su Mingyu came out of the room again, Zhizhu thought it was really inappropriate for Su Mingyu to take a bath at this time.
Because the second young lady of the Su Mansion, Su Yueyue, and the King of Yu happened to be passing by the gate of their courtyard.
And Su Mingyu, dressed in white with water still dripping from her hair, was standing in front of the courtyard gate, using a dry towel to wipe her hair.
After days of recuperation, Su Mingyu's skin had become much fairer, and her figure had also filled out.
Now, wearing a thin dress under the reddish setting sun, strands of wet hair clung to her cheeks. The contrast between the black hair and her fair skin was particularly eye - catching and sexy.
Just standing there without doing anything, she could attract people's attention.
Sure enough, the King of Yu, who was passing by, immediately saw Su Mingyu. His dark eyes lit up slightly, as if something had flashed through them.
Su Yueyue saw it clearly. Her face darkened as she tugged at the King of Yu's arm. "Your Highness, let's go to the garden over there. We can have some pastries there."
The King of Yu's gaze seemed to be firmly fixed on Su Mingyu and showed no sign of moving away.
Su Yueyue raised her hand and waved it in front of the King of Yu's eyes with a gloomy face. "Your Highness."
"Ah? What's wrong?" The King of Yu looked down at her. "What did you just say?"
Su Yueyue looked at the courtyard in front of her and suddenly changed her mind. "Your Highness, we've been walking for so long. We must be tired. How about going to my sister's courtyard to take a rest?"
Su Mingyu heard Su Yueyue's bad idea from afar.
She hadn't even gone to look for trouble with Su Yueyue, but Su Yueyue had come to her first.
Had she forgotten who had helped her persuade the King of Yu?
Normally, the King of Yu should have refused, but looking at the charming Su Mingyu, he finally nodded. "That's fine."
Zhizhu also heard clearly. She looked at Su Mingyu nervously and whispered, "Miss, what should we do?"
Su Mingyu didn't even raise her head. "Don't panic. They didn't call you. Just stand still."
Saying so, she continued to wipe her hair until the King of Yu and Su Yueyue walked up to her.
Looking at the two pairs of shoes on the ground, Su Mingyu suddenly raised her head. Then, looking at the King of Yu and Su Yueyue in surprise, she said, "Your Highness? Weren't you two visiting the Su Mansion? Why did you come here?"
Su Yueyue looked at Su Mingyu's bright eyes and fair, smooth skin. She gritted her teeth in anger, but still forced a smile on her face. "My lord and I came to this area. We're just a bit thirsty. We came here to take a seat."
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes mentally. Thirsty?
Was the Su Mansion so big that they had to come to her courtyard to rest?
Although thinking this way, Su Mingyu still pointed to the table opposite her. "Come, come. Please sit down."
After saying that, Su Mingyu quietly pulled Zhizhu aside. "Go and prepare some water for the King of Yu and my sister."
"Shall we use the Dahongpao that the King of Ruixian gave you last time?" Zhizhu whispered, looking very nervous.
"No." Su Mingyu shook her head. "Just normal warm water will do."
"Ah?" Zhizhu's face fell. "But the guest is the King of Yu... Isn't this a bit too neglectful?"
Seeing how scared she was, Su Mingyu helplessly tapped her on the head. "Just go. Hurry up."
After saying that, without giving Zhizhu any time to react, she turned around and walked up to the King of Yu and Su Yueyue. "The scenery of the Su Mansion is indeed not as good as that of the King of Yu's Mansion. When my sister gets married, I'll be able to enjoy the scenery of the King of Yu's Mansion too."
Su Mingyu smiled at the King of Yu and then casually sat down next to him.
Su Yueyue's face turned pale when she saw this, but she didn't dare to lose her temper. She could only smile in response. "Yes. Sister can bring the King of Ruixian with you then."
As soon as the name of the King of Ruixian was mentioned, both the King of Yu and Su Mingyu's expressions changed.
Su Mingyu felt guilty. She was afraid that Gu Ruobai would be angry if he knew she was getting close to the King of Yu again.
The King of Yu's face darkened. It seemed that the name of the King of Ruixian annoyed him.
Just when the atmosphere became extremely tense, Zhizhu came up with the tea set in time.
Su Mingyu took the initiative to pour a cup of water for the King of Yu and Su Yueyue.
The King of Yu picked up the cup and was about to drink when his face changed. "This is..."
Su Mingyu grinned. "Your Highness, please don't mind. Although this courtyard looks magnificent, I just moved in recently, so I don't have many things."
A look of ridicule flashed across Su Yueyue's eyes. "If I had known your courtyard was so shabby, sister, you could have told me earlier. I could have sent some things from my courtyard over."
This was exactly what Su Mingyu had been waiting for.
So Su Mingyu nodded without feeling the slightest bit embarrassed. She looked at Su Yueyue in surprise. "Really? Actually, I saw some Maofeng tea in the dowry the King of Yu sent just now."
"That's excellent tea. Only a small amount is produced each year, and all of it is sent to the palace. Only someone of the King of Yu's status can get some. I've been craving it for a long time. I wonder if sister would be willing to part with it?"
Su Yueyue's face turned as white as a sheet.
Su Mingyu really knew how to choose. She asked for her Maofeng tea right away. She was really discerning!
But the most important thing was that she hadn't even had a chance to enjoy it herself. Why should she give it to Su Mingyu?
Seeing that Su Yueyue didn't say a word for a long time, Su Mingyu seemed to suddenly realize that she had asked for too much. So she smiled awkwardly. "Forget it. After all, it's the betrothal gift the King of Yu gave to sister. It seems a bit too brazen of me to ask for it like this."
Saying so, Su Mingyu poured herself a cup of water. "I'd better just drink this warm water. It's light."
The King of Yu clearly saw the calculation in Su Mingyu's eyes. He curled his thin lips and patted Su Yueyue's hand. "It's just some Maofeng tea. I have more in my mansion. It will all be yours when you marry me."
It seemed like he was comforting Su Yueyue, but in fact, he was helping Su Mingyu.
Su Yueyue wasn't stupid. She naturally understood.
She had originally wanted to show off in front of Su Mingyu with the King of Yu, but now she had even lost her Maofeng tea.
Su Yueyue gritted her teeth and forced a smile at the King of Yu. "Since Your Highness has spoken, I'll send someone to deliver it to sister later."
Su Mingyu raised an eyebrow. "Then I'll thank sister for your generosity."
Saying so, Su Mingyu stood up. "Sorry. I'm feeling a bit cold. I want to go in and change my clothes. You can walk around the courtyard as you like. If you need anything, just tell Zhizhu. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Su Mingyu gave Su Yueyue a triumphant smile before turning around and leaving.
