Chapter 40 Cherries
Yun Heng stopped talking, and slightly raised his eyebrows at the drooping yarn that was trembling because his master was struggling to hold back his laughter.
Is it too much?He can pretend that he can't guess the identity of "Sister Immortal", but Yu Aqiu, can you be more serious about acting?It would make him look... dull.
Yun Heng never thought that one day he would use this kind of words to describe himself, "Sister Immortal also thinks it's ridiculous to be teased by the Crown Princess alone?"
Hearing his bad tone, Yu Qiu hurriedly stopped, coughed lightly, and said, "It's really funny..."
Yun Heng looked at her coldly, and pushed his nose on his face, right?
"I mean that the princess may not have done it on purpose." Yu Qiu was afraid that he would be angry and torment herself, so she did everything possible to save face for him, and she did not hesitate to say what she was afraid of at the time, "The princess is a girl, even if she succeedsYou must have been very scared when you lied to the prince. It’s not a big deal, prince, don’t offend her, it’s not worth it.”
Yun Heng said: "If I don't teach her a lesson, I won't be able to express my anger."
These words prompted Yu Qiu to think of Yun Heng's inexplicable people punishing her not long ago. Well, she wanted to laugh again, and wanted to ask Yun Heng whether the punishment was on her or Yun Lang this time.
Not daring to add fuel to the flames, she tried her best not to say this.
Yu Qiu was in a very good mood, and raised his hand to lift the veil to look at Yunheng's expression carefully. When his hand touched the veil, he remembered that he would see his face, so he put it down regretfully, and asked, "Prince, what do you want?"Out of anger?"
This straightforward questioning really made Yun Heng laugh, he didn't know whether to say that Yu Qiu was real, or that he had disguised himself too well.
He concealed his thoughts and said: "How to punish her for using the jade pendant to play tricks on me, I haven't figured it out yet, but I have to figure out her childhood sweetheart first, if she dares to get involved with other men as a princess..."
There is no emotion in the words, and the ending is indifferent and long.
No man can bear this, let alone the current prince.Yu Qiu hurriedly assured: "The Crown Princess has absolutely nothing to do with Yu Yanzong. You also said last time, the Crown Prince, that the Yu family is not a good person, and they are plotting against the Crown Princess."
Yun Heng didn't comment.
Yu Qiu couldn't let him misunderstand this, so he secretly decided that he must find an opportunity to explain clearly to Yu Yanzong in front of him, and this time he must completely dissociate himself from Yu Yanzong.As long as Yun Heng saw it with his own eyes, this problem could be solved.
"There is also the matter of the jade pendant, you can't be cruel, prince, she is your princess, you have to take good care of her..."
The soft-spoken entreaty made Yun Heng's heart itch. Facing the obtrusive drape, he wanted Yu Qiu to crash into his arms and beg him to love him like that, just like that time when he put his arms around his waist and called Brother HengSame.
Maybe it's been a long time since Brother Heng called out.
There was a veil blocking Yu Qiu's expression. Luckily, he lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Let's see how she behaves."
Yun Lang was very annoying, he didn't want to go to the official office, let alone see Yun Heng."When he sees me, he will definitely find an excuse to beat me again. Don't see him."
"I'm watching, I won't let him hit you. You go out with me, and when we come back, let's stop by and buy some delicious food."
Yun Lang was still unwilling, turned his back, and shouted: "Just let the guards buy it back."
A few days ago, Yu Qiu forwarded Yun Heng's answer to Yun Lang, and Yun Lang simply said "Oh", and nothing happened.Yu Qiu couldn't figure out the riddle between the two brothers, but it was definitely true that they liked to torment each other.
She shook her head and said, "You also know my chef's skills, so don't you want to see your royal brother eat his dishes? The few times your royal brother came here, the dishes were not made by this regular cook.I have tasted it."
The Yu family's father and daughter kept in good health, and the cook's cooking was extremely bland, and this was what Yun Lang was most dissatisfied with about their family.
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then stood up and said, "Go! Go now!"
There are hundreds of official chefs in the government office. Some officials are not used to eating, so they often send their servants to deliver food. This behavior is common, but Yu Qiu and Yun Lang are too eye-catching.Whose girl is it?"
"The only daughter of Minister Yu, next to him is the Fifth Prince."
I understand everything, no wonder she is so beautiful.Some people thought about it a little bit more. haven't seen Miss Yu's family deliver food in person before. Why is she here when the crown prince is busy at the Ministry of Revenue these days?
Naturally it is for the prince.The future crown princess will come to care for the crown prince, this feeling is really good.
Before the lunch break, the matter spread in the official office. It was nothing more than some words about the relationship between the prince and the future princess, and some people tried to curry favor with Qi Yu Xingshu.
Yu Xingshu had been troubled for a long time because of Yu Qiu's marriage with the prince, and finally calmed down for a few days.
It's okay for officials to gossip in private, but they dare not pass it into Yun Heng's ears.
Chang Ji, who was guarding outside, knew about Yu Qiu's arrival very early on, but before Ping Jiang came to Yu Qiu's side, he was always in second place, and his skills were not bad, but compared with Ping Jiang, he was a little dull.
He thought about it in his heart, but didn't tell Yun Heng immediately.
When it was time for the lunch break, Yun Heng noticed that everyone looked at him differently than before, and realized that he had finally waited for Yu Qiu.
Before going to see Yu Qiu, he purposely stopped in front of Chang Ji and said, "Learn more about human relationships when you have time."
Chang Ji was at a loss.
Officials have lunch in the dining hall, and Yun Heng is the prince, so there is a special small hall.He went there with Yu Xingshu, and saw Yu Qiu the first time he stepped through the door.
She has specially dressed up today, and the gold hairpins in her hair are all exquisite. She is wearing a silver and white soft silk top and a vermilion and gold brocade skirt. When she walks gracefully, the skirt and the shawl on her shoulders are like water wavesrippling.
"Daddy." Yu Qiu called Yu Xingshu first, then turned to Yun Heng, "Prince." Then asked, "Are you tired?"
Yun Heng didn't hear what Yu Xingshu said back, all he had in his mind was the look at him from Yu Qiu's smiling eyes.
Yu Qiu handed the two handkerchiefs to wipe their hands, and Yun Lang was already knocking on the table, "Hurry up!"
"Don't make noise." Yun Heng swept away lightly, Yun Lang curled his lips and stopped unwillingly.
He was not honest for a moment, took the initiative to open the food box, and introduced them one by one with Yun Heng: "Vinegar celery, stir-fried tender cabbage, vegetarian roast goose..."
After talking about a few vegetarian dishes, he brought out the last plate, "West Lake Vinegar Fish, no, it was supposed to be completely vegetarian, but I relied on the cook to cook this fish in the end. Brother Huang, how do I treat you?"
Yun Heng nodded to him, thinking in his heart that he was indeed too noisy, and he will find something for him to do later.
He didn't bother to talk about Yun Lang any more, and turned his head to see Yu Qiu bring out a porcelain cup from another food box.
"Lotus root pork ribs soup." She smiled and said, "My Fifth Highness and I have already used it, and it is specially prepared for you."
"Aqiu is in a good mood today?" Yun Heng asked.
Yu Qiu turned her head to look at him, raised the back of her hand slightly to cover her lower lip, and nodded with a smile, "Yeah."
Yun Heng had never seen her smile like this before, saying that she was so scheming and made her think that she was being tricked by her, so could she be so happy?
In the small hall, two people were eating, and the other two brought out washed cherries while eating.
He didn't say a word, he and Yu Xingshu didn't speak, only Yu Qiu and Yun Lang talked without a word, talking about the book Yun Lang was reading today, and asked him where he wanted to go to play later, and he could let himPlay outside for half an hour.
Yun Heng's face was always deliberately put on with a neither salty nor indifferent expression, his face was calm, but his peripheral vision was always lingering on Yu Qiu.
Seeing her sitting on the other side, her white as jade fingers picked up a ruddy cherry and put it into her mouth, her lips were as bright as the cherry.
Looking at it this way, the light vegetarian food in Yunheng's mouth seems to have the sweet and sour taste of silk cherries, which makes the mouth water.
Among the four, Yu Qiu was without a doubt the happiest, smiling crookedly at everyone he met.Yun Lang couldn't see Yun Heng's face changing, and he was in a bad mood.
The most uncomfortable and unhappy one is Yu Xingshu.
Yu Qiu also delivered meals to him before, but they were all sent by servants from the mansion. This can be understood because she was young and shy in the past.
But today when Yu Qiu came here, he had to admit that he came for Yunheng.
First of all, the attire. When went to the palace of General Gongyi for a banquet, never saw her dressed so delicately.
Then there is the obvious delicacy and joy in the eyebrows and eyes, especially when facing Shang Yunheng, which has never appeared since she was humiliated by the words of the third prince.
Yu Xingshu's heart is complicated. He should be happy that his daughter has grown up and has a good relationship with her fiancé.He just didn't understand why his daughter seemed to be a different person all of a sudden, since he hadn't seen these two meet in the past few days.
And Yun Heng's attitude also made him dissatisfied, Yu Qiu has acted like this, can't you smile a little?Haven't you always been friendly to outsiders?
But my daughter didn't mind watching it.
Yu Xingshu was extremely bored, and finally realized how Xiao Taiwei looked at him, so he ate a few quick mouthfuls, told Yu Qiu a few words, and then he made excuses and went to work.Out of sight out of mind.
Yun Heng also stopped his chopsticks, and after cleaning his hands, he turned around and saw Yu Qiu handing over the remaining cherries in the celadon porcelain bowl.
The outside of the porcelain bowl is translucent aqua blue, and the inside is white and smooth. A few round red agate-like cherries are piled inside. The color is bright and there is a layer of watery luster on it.
Yu Qiu's eyes were crooked, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a smile, and he asked, "Does your Highness despise you?"
The lip balm on her lips was slightly wiped off, but it was still moist, more like a cherry.Yun Heng was separated from her by some distance, but felt that he could faintly smell the sweetness in her mouth.
Presumably the cherries are delicious too.
Just so distracted, a claw stretched out from the side, and quickly snatched the celadon porcelain bowl from Yu Qiu's hand.
Yun Lang covered the mouth of the bowl protectively, "If he doesn't eat, ignore him."
Yu Qiu had no choice but to say, "Alright then."
The boy had already packed the food box, and Yun Lang quickly stuffed the cherries into his mouth. Taking advantage of Yu Qiu's turning around, he made a face at Yun Heng, then jumped off the chair and said, "Let's go, my lord!"Sister-in-law, I want to go to West Street to listen to people singing."
"I can only listen for half an hour." Yu Qiu agreed with him in advance.
Listening to the two of them talking, Yun Heng began to feel that all the affairs in the household department were purely causing trouble for himself. He looked at the mandarin duck jade pendant Yu Qiu was wearing on his waist, and shouted, "Aqiu."
Yu Qiu turned around, took a few steps towards him, raised his face and asked, "What's the matter, Your Highness?"
The fingers in Yun Heng's sleeve moved, held back, and said, "Why did you come to deliver meals suddenly today?"
Yu Qiu laughed, stroked the strands of black hair hanging from his chest, and asked him charmingly, "Is it not good?"
Yun Heng looked down at her and didn't answer.
Yu Qiu said again: "If you feel good, then I will come tomorrow. If you feel bad, I will not come."
