Chapter 24 Admiration

A few lanterns hung scatteredly under the eaves outside, swaying under the night wind. The heat on Yu Qiu's face was blown away by the wind. Not long after, the door opened behind him with a creak.

The heat that had just dissipated returned to Yu Qiu's face in an instant.

"Today, I was busy with work and was too tired, so I accidentally fell asleep in the soup pool. I don't mean to offend, and I invite the fairy sister Haihan." Yun Heng behind said so.

Yu Qiu froze, pressed the hood with both hands, did not dare to turn around, and pretended nothing had happened with a hot face, "It's okay, I didn't see anything..."

Yun Heng listened to her dry voice, relying on people not daring to look at him, she laughed undisguisedly, but her voice was still calm, and said: "A lot of things have happened in the past few days, and I just want to talk to Sister Shenxian.Go and sit in the kiosk in front."

Yu Qiu nodded slightly, but didn't move. When Yun Heng walked past him, he smelled the moisture left on his body, and his face burned even more.

She didn't dare to move at all, until Yun Heng's shadow also disappeared under the veil, and then slowly looked up.

Yun Heng had already put on his clothes, but he only added a large coat on top of the thin pajamas. When he walked around, the corners of the clothes swayed, and his posture was relaxed and relaxed, which was no different from the demeanor he used to appear in front of people.

Prince Yunheng, everyone said that he was elegant and respected the most courtesy, but he was alone with a girl at night, his clothes were disheveled, and no one would believe him when he said it.

Yu Qiu was muttering in his heart, seeing him turn around suddenly, he was so panicked that he almost hid behind the pillar.

"Sister Immortal?" Yun Heng stopped where he was and called her.

Yu Qiu looked at the distance of more than ten feet between the two of them, and hurriedly stepped up to keep up. After taking two steps, he felt that he had missed the timidity, and quickly slowed down to maintain a dignified posture.

Five steps down the corridor, one candle lamp, approaching, Yu Qiu realized that even his pajamas were wrapped casually, and they were so loosely placed on his body. When he looked down at the person, the unclosed skirt was loosened, revealing a small piece of chest, even glowing slightly under the candlelight.

The broad chest that saw just now with water droplets rolling down flooded into mind, covering the sky and fields, almost shining in Yu Qiu's eyes.

Yu Qiu couldn't help curling up her toes.

It is obviously simple snow-colored pajamas, Yun Heng is handsome and tall, and his steps are steady when he moves, and his posture is loose, why does he look so...

Yu Qiu was taught to read and write by his parents since he was a child. He dare not say that he is a genius, but he can be regarded as knowledgeable and reasonable. Whether at home or out, he never utters vulgar words.

But at this moment, looking at Yun Heng's appearance, the common saying that he heard on the street once came into his mind - anger.

Confused by his messy associations, Yu Qiu quietly pinched his palms and said calmly, "Lead the way."

Yun Heng smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and slid his skirt a few more inches.

Yu Qiu closed her eyes, opened them again, put her eyes on his shadow, and followed him at a distance of two feet.

After going down a few steps and following the gravel path, you will arrive at the viewing pavilion, which is surrounded by water on three sides, and the lotus flowers in the water show their sharp corners and sway gently with the water waves.

Both of them sat down, Yu Qiu covered his face with a veil, and sat upright, but his eyes did not dare to look directly at Yun Heng, and only secretly looked at the table.

Yun Heng was much more at ease, and took the lead in saying: "Sister Shenxian has a clever plan, and those members of the Yu family really did something wrong."

Yu Qiu was instantly attracted by his words, raised his head, and asked eagerly, "Did you find out?"

Yun Heng has only found some superficial information so far. According to his habits, he will not leak the news when he cannot kill the opponent with a single blow, but he wants to play "Sister Immortal" with Yu Qiu, so he doesn't mind talking to her first., and briefly said: "Master Yu forms a party for personal gain, accepts a lot of bribes, and his son Yu Yanzong also has many problems, but no evidence has been found yet, so he can't move for the time being."

Yu Qiu didn't know about Yu Huai'an's secret clique for personal gain, but Yun Heng believed her if he was willing to investigate, which made her very happy and at ease.

"It's just that this Yu's family is interesting." Yun Heng spoke slowly, with a hint of interest in his voice, and said, "Scheming my classmates for more than ten years, but if you put your mind elsewhere, you should make a move no matter what."It's a big deal."

"Classmates?" Yu Qiu became nervous, not to mention Yu Huai'an's classmates, the closest one is her father.

"Yu Huai'an has a classmate from the Ministry of Revenue... Tsk, there's nothing to say, it's nothing more than being jealous of other people's careers and marriages and making things difficult for them."

Yu Qiu was impatient, and asked: "Who is he jealous of from the Ministry of Revenue? What made it difficult? What did he do?"

Yun Heng showed suspicion, and said, "Sister Shenxian seems to care about this classmate?"

Yu Qiu was startled, and hurriedly brought the topic back to the Yu family and Yun Heng, "I just care about the prince, after all, such a narrow-minded person can do anything."

"Don't worry, since Gu knows it, he won't let him go."

"Yeah." Yu Qiu nodded very simply, but she was very anxious. She was eager to find out what Yun Heng had found, but she didn't dare to ask.

It's not yet time, so I have to wait until the time is ripe before I can mention my family's affairs.Otherwise, if he finds out her identity directly, she will be doomed.

Yu Qiu kept the matter in his heart, and planned to slowly formulate words from him later.

After thinking for a while, Yu Qiu regained her composure. She had to change the topic to something unrelated to her family. She was about to mention Yun Heng's choice of concubine when she heard Yun Heng ask, "Sister Immortal, what do you think of Yun Heng?"

"What..." After the words came out, Yu Qiu subconsciously raised his head.

She couldn't do two things at once, and just now all her mental energy was concentrated on the affairs of the Yu family. Now that she turned her mind away from the main business, she noticed Yun Heng's messy clothes again. When her face became hot, she quietly looked away and continued as if nothing had happened.Ask, "...how about what?"

"Birth, appearance, temperament, everything, as a man."

Needless to say, her origin and appearance, a member of the royal family, these two points are beyond doubt.As for sex...

Yu Qiu still had to rely on his hand to save his life, so he could only close his eyes and boast: "Nature is unique."

Yun Heng said: "Not necessarily. Sister Shenxian, do you know why Gu has repeatedly dreamed of massacres?"

Yu Qiu has never dared to mention the murderous dream he saw earlier, because he was afraid that he would also have murderous intentions towards him, but Yun Heng himself brought it up, and he was immediately vigilant.

"Because the descendants of the royal family have many evil habits. Several generations ago, the founding ancestors were fond of killing. Every time they captured a city, they would slaughter all the soldiers and strong men in the city. After proclaiming the emperor, as long as they felt unhappy, they ransacked the officials' homes at will. The later emperors, Some are good at women, seizing ministers and wives and women, and they can do anything; some are good at fishing, and when they meet an old man who can't read big characters but is good at fishing, they directly give him a ministerial order. All kinds of absurdity, the fate of the country can continueSo far, it is all due to the fierce reputation of the founding ancestors and generations of loyal ministers and good generals."

Yu Qiu had never heard of these strange news about the royal family, and he was so engrossed in hearing it that he didn't even remember the embarrassment before, and looked straight at Yun Heng.

"Decades ago, the country was full of flames of war. The first emperor tried his best to turn the tide and stabilize the country. Before he died, he made a rule that the princes of later generations should not be easily canonized as princes. They must be assessed by important ministers to confirm that the other party has no absurd habits before he can establish a crown prince."

Yun Heng said in a normal tone, "I found out about this when I was eight years old, and since then, I have been pretending. I must pretend to be a prince who is respected by my subjects, otherwise I will not be able to succeed to the throne."

"If you can't succeed as emperor, you can't let go of many things. Sister Fairy, do you understand?"

Yu Qiu doesn't understand, is Yun Heng admitting that the elegance and easy-going he has shown is all an illusion created for the sake of being an emperor?So what is he pretending to be?Is it the evil intention of killing the king and seizing power?

She didn't dare to ask, and since she was a fairy, she couldn't understand, so she could only nod her head in a calm manner.

Yun Heng laughed, and the handsome man smiled at him in disheveled clothes under the candle lamp, Yu Qiu felt the aphrodisiac-like heat rise up again, burning her heart, she was ashamed and annoyed, turned her face to pretendZuo couldn't see Yunheng.

Afraid that Yunheng would continue this dangerous topic, which is not something an ordinary person can listen to, and the more she knows, the easier it will be to reveal her flaws, so she tried to divert Yunheng's attention, "The prince is about to choose a concubine, but he already has a favorite.people?"

Yun Heng put away his laugh, but the absurdity still reverberated in his eyes, his eyes looked extraordinarily gentle, and he replied: "Indeed there is."

This topic is very safe, Yu Qiu was relieved, and asked: "Which girl is it?"

Yun Heng couldn't see Yu Qiu's expression, so he stared at her hands resting on the table. Those hands seemed to be made of warm jade, glowing softly under the candlelight.

He smiled and said, "Ministry of Revenue Yu Shilang's daughter, Yu Qiu."

This sudden sentence made Yu Qiu unable to react, paused for a while, and asked in a daze, "Who are you talking about?"

"Yu Qiu, daughter of Yu Xingshu, granddaughter of Old Taiwei Xiao, and cousin of Xiao Qingning."

Seeing those hands grasping slowly, the knuckles turned white, Yun Heng thought that her eyes might burst into tears again, and her voice became more gentle and happy, "I want her to be my princess,What does Sister Fairy think?"

Yu Qiu's head was dizzy for a while, she felt that Yun Heng must be joking, or there is something wrong with her ears, how is this possible?She did everything possible to meet Yun Heng three times.

The nails on Yu Qiu's hand pressed hard against the palm of his hand, trying to maintain calm, "It's not suitable..."

"Where is it inappropriate?"

It doesn't fit anywhere, the princess must at least come from a famous family, right?Besides, marrying Yunheng, eating and living together, having to face him in day and dream, what is the difference from sending him to death?What must be said is that if you marry him, you will die faster!

Whatever he said had to make him calm down, Yu Qiu took a deep breath, assuming that the person who wanted to say it was not herself, and said: "She comes from a humble background, has a weak character, and is very stupid. She can still see that face, but thatIt's a brain change, it's flashy! No matter what it is, it is inferior to Miss Gaomen, and it is even more unworthy of such an outstanding and aloof dragon and phoenix body like the prince!"

"I don't think so." Yun Heng leaned back, looked directly at Yu Qiu through the veil, and said loudly, "Miss Yu is very beautiful, she is the grandson of Xiao Taiwei, the daughter of a fourth-rank civil servant, thisBirth is enough."

"Let's talk about temperament. Weakness and kindness are very similar in some aspects. Rather than saying she is weak, it is better to say that she is gentle and kind, and does not care about others." Yun Heng spoke very fluently, without thinking or pausing at all, "As for the name of stupidity, it is just an illusion caused by different visions of people, some people are narrow-minded and echo what others say, trying to step on her foot in vain to show their differences."

"..." Yu Qiu was a little confused. Is it... like this?She doesn't want to say that about herself, but for two lifetimes, other people have said that, and she will inevitably feel that way when she is depressed...

"Sister Fairy?"

Yu Qiu regained consciousness.

It's so dangerous, if it wasn't for her, she would almost believe it.

Yu Qiu caressed his heart, put his words out of his mind, and reminded him: "Leaving aside the rest, Taiwei Xiao doesn't recognize this granddaughter."

"When she becomes a princess, it's up to Captain Xiao to recognize her or not."

Yu Qiu: ...that makes sense.

But this didn't move Yu Qiu's heart. What she wanted was to lift the estrangement between the two families, not the superficial affinity under the pressure of the imperial power.This kind of forced reconciliation, she can actually do it, such as forcing each other to death.

But apart from making Captain Xiao loathe their father and daughter more and more, this cannot solve the problem from the root.

Yu Qiu cleared his throat, put on the cold attitude of a fairy sister, and advised: "Marriage is a matter of mutual affection."

"That's no problem." Yun Heng said, "She has admired me for a long time."

Yu Qiu blinked and listened carefully, "Say it again."

Yun Heng smiled, and repeated as she wished: "I said, Miss Yu's family must be willing to marry me. She has admired me for a long time, and every time she sees me, her face turns red, and her eyes are full of water.The timid and reserved appearance has made me pity several times, and I wish I could embrace her."

The last sentence made Yu Qiusheng shudder in this April day.

"Maybe she's not shy..." Yu Qiu said with difficulty.

She could swear that when she saw Yun Heng a few times, she didn't have any extra feelings in her heart except fear, and it is still the same now, there is absolutely no love between men and women.

If he knew that he would be misunderstood as admiring him, Yu Qiu should have dived that day, or pretended to be blind!

"How did Sister Shenxian know about it?"

Yu Qiu was about to say, "I am a fairy, so I know everything." Yun Heng said Shi Shiran in front of her, "Could it be that the fairy sister can read people's hearts? If so, Gu would like to ask the fairy sister to help see what the father thinks."It's gone."

Yu Qiu's words were blocked, and she discovered that Yunheng sometimes called himself "Gu" and sometimes "I", but he used "Gu" only when he was talking about business or when he was questioned by himself.

It's really difficult to serve, so have the nerve to ask others what they think with this temperament?Yu Qiu sighed in his heart.

Sometimes she can't even read her own heart, how can she read other people's hearts.

Besides, the emperor, she had never seen it before, how could she read it?Moreover, the royal family has been abnormal since its ancestors. Who knows if the emperor also has some evil habits.

If she complied, if Yun Heng really asked her to guess the emperor's mind in the future, she might either die from hard work or be killed by Yun Heng.

Yu Qiu slandered bitterly, gritted his teeth and said, "People's hearts are complicated, even gods can't understand them."

"That's it." Yun Heng's voice was soft, if there was infinite affection, "Miss Aqiu from the Yu family is in love with me, so I naturally want her to be the princess."

Yu Qiu was speechless, but clenched his hands tightly, using his sleeves as Yun Heng, wishing to strangle him to death."It's better to ask about this kind of thing in person. If it's a misunderstanding, wouldn't it delay each other?"

Yun Heng watched her reaction, and he said with a smile: "The girl is shy, if you ask her directly, she will definitely not admit it."

Yu Qiu gritted her teeth: "She is thick-skinned and not shy, you can ask!"

"She is a boudoir girl, and she is always accompanied by maids. How can I, a man with no relatives and no reason, get close to me?"

Yun Heng said, "Sister Immortal, don't worry, I will never force her. I will confirm with her, but I just want to talk to her privately, and I should first ask for a marriage gift before I can say it clearly. At that time, if Yun Heng decides toPassionate, I have my own way to ask Father to take back his will and give her back her freedom."

Yu Qiu didn't quite believe it, and asked tentatively, "How do you ask the Holy One to take back his will?"

"The mountain people have their own tricks." Yun Heng replied calmly.

"But just in case..."

Yun Heng interrupted her, frowned and said: "Sister Shenxian seems very unwilling to achieve good things with Yu Qiu alone?"

"No!" Yu Qiu hastily denied, and awkwardly argued, "I just think getting married is a lifetime thing, and we should think carefully about it."

Yun Heng: "Sister Immortal is still considerate."

As long as there is still room for turning around, Yu Qiu didn't dare to force him to give up, so she waited for Yun Heng to come and say hello, and then she must tell him very loudly that she has no admiration for him at all!

She yelled out the heartless rejection several times in her heart, calmed down, and said: "It is the prince who is wise."

Yun Heng laughed softly, "Sister Immortal also agrees, so that's good. Then Gu will enter the palace to ask for an edict tomorrow. After the edict of bestowing marriage is issued, there will not be so many customary restrictions. Then I will go to the mansion to ask her personally."

Yu Qiu gritted his teeth angrily, but said nothing.

"By the way, there is one more question I would like to ask Sister Shenxian to help answer." Yun Heng gathered up his coat, sat upright, and his expression became serious, as if he had something serious to say.

Yu Qiu was busy concentrating, praying secretly in his heart that there would be no problem, Shen Xi was ready, and said: "Prince, please tell me."

"Sister Immortal thinks..." Yun Heng frowned, and asked word by word, "Will Yun Heng's face and body... satisfy the Crown Princess?"

...

The moment he heard his words clearly, steaming hot air rushed into Yu Qiu's blood.

She finally figured it out, the royal family has many eccentricities, and Yun Heng is no exception. He has been pretending for many years in order not to let people find out that he is mentally ill.

It must be so!
