The host of fast travel, she always wants to be lazy

Chapter 159 You Are Not Cinderella (29)

After the Earl of Kent came back, Qiao Rong didn't feel that his life had changed much.

He kept running out during the day, either to the palace, or to discuss important matters with various princes and nobles.

Mrs. Termany went with him most of the time.

They only come back at dinner, and then talk about what they encounter and hear every day at the dinner table.

Qiao Rong felt that life was relatively comfortable, only Rila's bed climbing every night and the prince's occasional invitations made her feel a little distressed.

Speaking of Rila, I don't know what happened to her. Every day, I would have nightmares, and then knock on her door pitifully, and then climb into her bed with a blushing face.

Although Qiao Rong was a little skeptical, she felt that she had no reason to stay up on the big bed, and came to squeeze her.

Moreover, she really couldn't resist her watery lake blue eyes.

So, after a few times, Qiao Rong took the initiative to run to Rila's room, and took her quilt down together.

Rilla froze immediately.

Qiao Rong carried her quilt back to her room without saying a word, and then said seriously to Rila: "For our sleep quality, it's better for you to sleep directly here with me."

Ruila stared at the two quilts on the bed and said nothing.

Qiao Rong also looked at the two quilts, and pursed her lips: "I'm used to sleeping with the quilt rolled up, so you can sleep more peacefully if you cover yourself with a quilt."

Ruila blinked slightly, then smiled slightly and said: "Well, thank you, sister."

Qiao Rong scratched her head embarrassingly: "It's okay, I'm your sister, I should take care of you."

When Ruila heard this, the smile in her eyes deepened.

……

The few of them maintained this kind of life for more than a month, but the Earl of Kent suddenly brought back a piece of news one day.

He placed two exquisite cards on the dining table, and then said:
"Five days later, His Royal Highness will hold a grand ball in the palace, and most of the ladies in the palace have received invitations."

Mrs. Temani's eyes instantly lit up. She grabbed the two invitations and looked at them carefully. The names of Qiao Rong and Catherine were clearly written on them.

She immediately smiled with satisfaction.

But the Earl of Kent glanced at Rilla who was standing aside and hesitated slightly: "The people in the palace said that they only knew that our family has two daughters, so they only sent two..."

Rilla paused for a moment, then showed a considerate smile: "Father, don't worry, I don't have to go."

The Earl of Kent gave her a slightly apologetic look: "Sorry Rilla, it's just that His Royal Highness and the Duke of Hall are interested in Joey and Catherine, so they must go."

Rilla lowered her long eyelashes, her eyes darkened slightly, but she still smiled to express her understanding.

Qiao Rong looked at her worriedly, took her into a corner when no one was paying attention, and asked seriously, "Rilla, do you really not want to go to the dance?"

Although Rilla always said she didn't like the prince, in the Cinderella story, the two fell in love at the ball.

So... what if?
Ruila paused, then said slightly helplessly: "Sister, I really don't want to go."

Qiao Rong looked at her, then sighed depressingly: "Okay..."

Rila looked at her fluffy hair, moved her fingertips slightly, but a dark light gradually appeared in her eyes.

"Sister, you probably don't like His Royal Highness, do you?"

Her voice sounded slowly and clearly with a hint of hesitation, as if she wanted to get a positive answer.

Qiao Rong gave her a surprised look: "Of course not."

Only then did Rila curl her lips and said with a smile: "Then sister, don't dance with His Royal Highness. I heard from my father that at that ball, if His Royal Highness dances with anyone, that person will become his." Princess...sister, you don’t want to be a princess, right?”

When Qiao Rong heard this, the alarm bells rang in his heart, and he became vigilant about this dance.

She shook her head seriously: "Of course not. Don't worry, I won't dance with His Highness."

Rila blinked, revealing two dimples, and said in a playful tone: "I believe in my sister."
