Chapter 57 Inquiry
Yu Qiu's hand on Yun Heng's arm squeezed him gently, and he had to kiss him even if he was not convinced.She tiptoed and couldn't reach him, she pulled his clothes and said, "Don't raise your head on purpose."
Yun Heng didn't cooperate, and said: "I have already promised to let you kiss, why are you still so picky?"
Yu Qiu was ashamed because of his tone, and said angrily: "You have to make an inch, and later, will you see if I..."
"why no?"
"No, it's not that good..." Yu Qiu thought that when all the crises in his body were resolved in the future, he must avenge all the revenge of today, but when Yun Heng begged her to kiss, she ignored him and was mad at him.
She didn't dare to say harsh words for the time being, so she could only give in. After trying twice but couldn't reach, Yu Qiu boldly tiptoed forward and stepped on Yun Heng's instep.
After waiting, but seeing no reaction from him, Yu Qiu hooked his neck again and dragged him down, finally letting him bow his head.
She tiptoed to kiss her, her lips touched, the soft and delicate feeling spread towards her limbs, Yu Qiu was extremely shy, and couldn't help but think of how Yun Heng kissed her last time, and the trembling feeling.
That's really... kind of like it...
Lips rubbing against each other, Yu Qiu opened his lips tremblingly like Yun Heng did back then.The hand on the waist rubbed and tightened slowly with her movements, pressing her forward.
The branches and leaves of the jujube trees and dwarf landscape trees nearby were swayed by the wind, making a rustling sound, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Yu Qiu only heard the breathing of himself and Yun Heng, and did not hear the footsteps covered by the sound of branches and leaves, but Yun Heng heard it, raised his eyelids, and stared gloomyly outside the flower wall.
"Miss? Are you in there? The captain is looking for you..."
The servant girl's voice shook Yu Qiu back in shock, dodging Yun Heng who was pressing on him, and broke his hand in a panic.Unable to move, his flushed face lifted up, and his watery eyes looked at him imploringly.
Yun Heng gritted his teeth angrily, he knew that he should have agreed to her directly from the beginning, no matter how long she kissed her, she should be distracted by now.
He had no choice but to let go, and Yu Qiu stumbled back onto the stone bench, her numb feet not being able to delay her movement.
The banana leaf beside the Moon Gate was swaying, and the servant girl popped her head out, seeing Yun Heng froze in her steps, and hurriedly saluted, and then said to Yu Qiu: "Miss, the Taiwei asked the maidservant to call you over, saying that he has something to ask you."
Yu Qiu covered her lips with a hand propping her chin, quietly wiped away the wet marks on her lips, cleared her throat, and said, "Well, I'll go later..." She tried to explain, "My feet are numb, so I just sat and talked with you."The prince will talk for a while, and he will go later."
The servant girl showed embarrassment, "The Taiwei told you to go over now...how about I help you?"
In the Grand Marshal Mansion, Madam Xiao and Xiao Lun decided most of the matters, but that was when Taiwei Xiao did not intervene, and when he spoke, everyone in the mansion wanted to obey.
Yu Qiu didn't know this, and didn't see the maidservant's face. She leaned over and was pinching her ankle, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll rub it, and it will be fine soon."
Her face was still shrouded in heat, afraid of being seen by others, she dared not go out to meet people.And when she was at her own home, it was always good to be comfortable, there were no big rules, and Yu Xingshu never ordered her to do anything, or be there on call.
After hearing this, the servant girl moved a few times in a hurry, hesitating, unable to speak.
Yun Heng opened his mouth to make a siege, "Go and tell Taiwei, Gu and Aqiu have something to say, let him wait."
The servant girl felt relieved, turned her head and ran out with a "hey".
Seeing Yun Heng approaching, Yu Qiu blushed even more, and murmured: "I kissed you, you have to keep your promise, remember to pick me up tomorrow."
"If you need me to pick you up, you know you told me specifically." Yun Heng's tone sounded displeased, but also with a little imperceptible tenderness, which made Yu Qiu inexplicably blame himself.
She recalled the events of the past few days, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. In a blink of an eye, she saw Yun Heng squatting down in front of her, grabbing her numb right foot from her hand.
Thick palms wrapped around the ankles, and the hot temperature penetrated the fabric to the skin. Yu Qiu's ankles trembled, and he pressed his hand in panic, "You, you do
what!"
Yu Qiu was sitting on a low stool, and the hem of her skirt was hanging down on the grass. When Yun Heng grabbed her ankle, the skirt was blown by the wind and covered his forearm.Looking at the corner of the skirt hanging on his arm, Yu Qiu felt weird, she shrank back and lifted the corner of the skirt to prevent it from touching Yunheng.
And Yun Heng looked down at the gorgeous dress slipping from his arm, revealing the foot he was holding, and felt subtly puzzled in his heart.
What is he doing?
"You still haven't let go..."
Yun Heng raised her eyes and saw Yu Qiu's vivid eyes looking down at him, wanting to say something, looking at each other, her eyes jumped, she turned her face away and said, "You are still a well-known prince, you can't touch me......"
Yun Heng patted the upper of her shoe, let go of his hand, and said: "The upper of the shoe is covered with dust, I just don't want to see the princess getting dirty. What do you think I'm going to do? Rubbing your feet?β
Yu Qiu snatched her feet back and shrank under her dress, her ears were so red that she could almost bleed, why did she feel that the feeling of being grabbed by her feet was so similar to being held and kissed by Yun Heng?Even more shameful.
Enduring the burning on his face, Yu Qiu complained in a low voice: "I didn't think about it, no one can touch my feet."
Yun Heng was rejected by her for kissing before, and this time she was rejected for rubbing her feet. The only difference is that this time he learned his lesson and didn't make it too obvious, so that he didn't make himself worse.
If he wanted to get close to Yu Qiu, the only way he could trick her was to trick her into taking the initiative.
In order to coax her to fall in love with him, he really exhausted all means.
After they get married, they become a legitimate couple. Let's see if she has any reason to refuse to get close.
He sat beside him and watched Yu Qiu gently rubbing his ankles. The silk socks on his feet were very thin, and when Yu Qiu rubbed them, they outlined slender lines and prominent ankle bones.
Yu Qiu moved carefully, wrinkled his face, and hissed lightly from time to time.
Finally, the numbness was relieved.
Yu Qiu flexed his ankles, making sure that it would not affect his walking. He quickly glanced at Yun Heng, turned his face to stare at the banana leaf next to the Moon Gate, and said without squinting: "I'm going to my grandfather's."
"I'm leaving." Yun Heng stood up.
Yu Qiu followed and stood with his head down, rolling his toes back and forth, and asked in a soft voice, "Are you angry just now?"
Now that it was heard, Yun Heng said it straight, saying: "Where do you go next time, remember to let someone tell me."
Yu Qiu looked up blankly, blinked, she understood, and said, "I thought you knew."
"how could I know?"
"Hmm..." Yu Qiu hesitated, and said cautiously, "You are so powerful, don't you know everything?"
Yun Heng narrowed his eyes slowly.
He shouldn't have mentioned it.He has known for a long time that the princess is not good at other things, she is especially good at tricks, coquettishness and sweet talk, especially to deal with him.
"Are you angry because of this?" Yu Qiu walked up to him and said, "Don't be angry, I will let someone tell you in the future."
Having kissed her just now, and Yun Heng was gentle and considerate to her, Yu Qiu was shy and happy, her voice softened unconsciously, she grabbed his sleeve and said, "Otherwise, um..."
She leaned on Yun Heng with a blushing face, her clothes were entangled by the wind, her voice was so soft that she could hardly hear, "I'll act like a spoiled child... just pretend nothing happened, okay?"
Yun Heng glanced at her with low eyes, and said in a low voice, "Who taught you to be so thick-skinned?"
Yu Qiu blushed, and whispered whispered: "Don't forget it, you think I'm thinking too much."
When the two were talking, footsteps came from outside again, the servant girl ran over in a hurry, her forehead was sweating and she didn't have time to wipe it off, she stopped outside the Moon Gate with her hands tied, panting, "Your Highness, miss, Taiwei..."
"I see, I'm going now." Yu Qiu pursed her lips and gave Yun Heng a final light look, then turned and followed the maid and left.
Xiao Taiwei's study room is at the east end, and you can only get there through several doors. The doors and windows of the study room are wide open, and you can see layers of bookshelves inside.At this moment, the sunset was a little weaker, and the servants were already setting up ladders to hang lanterns.
Yu Qiu was a little nervous entering Captain Xiao's study for the first time, and asked in a low voice
Maid: "What's the matter?"
"I don't know. The Taiwei didn't say anything, so he asked the servant to invite you to come here, Miss."
The maids were not allowed to follow in. Before stepping in, Yu Qiu deliberately checked her appearance, stepped lightly, and stepped in cautiously.
Xiao Taiwei, with gray temples, was sitting dignifiedly behind the heavy elm table, dealing with official duties. He did not look at Yu Qiu when he heard the movement, and continued to review the documents.
Yu Qiu didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly waited for him to speak.
There was no sound in the study, so quiet that one could hear the sound of a silver needle falling to the ground.
Yu Qiu didn't like this kind of atmosphere, it gave her the illusion of being oppressed, she really wanted to go out quietly, wait outside, and come in after Captain Xiao finished handling the matter.
She wanted to move a few times, but Xiao Taiwei's face was as heavy as water, and she didn't have the courage to move.
The setting sun fell quickly, and the servants hung up the lanterns at the door of the study, and then came in carefully, and after lighting up all the lamps in the study, finally, Taiwei Xiao spoke up and asked: "The prince has visited you for so long.Time, what did he say and do with you?"
Yu Qiu's face burned with a bang.
Taiwei Xiao saw this reaction, and with a "snap", he threw the wolf hair in his hand, and said sharply: "Say!"
"No, it's nothing, just..." How to say this matter, Xiao Taiwei was already angry without saying anything, knowing that she kissed Yun Heng on his own initiative, he was afraid that he would faint from anger.
Yu Qiu couldn't say this kind of thing, his lips trembled in anxiety, and he said vaguely: "Ask me about typhoid fever, why didn't I tell him before I came here..."
"anything else?"
When Taiwei Xiao asked again, Yu Qiu couldn't answer, and was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury himself.
"How long has it been since you mention the crown prince? You hide it and don't dare to look at people. Just like your mother, you only have men in your mind, and you are useless!"
Yu Qiu had never been said that by anyone, but by an elder. The sarcasm in Xiao Taiwei's words was like a silver needle, piercing her shame.After holding back for a long time, Yu Qiu couldn't hold back, a tear fell from the socket of his eye, and fell to the ground with a patter.
"Am I wrong? Did I tell you to keep your head clear at all times?"
With tears in her eyes, Yu Qiu choked up and said, "Just talk about me and tell me what to do with my mother."
"She's my daughter, can't I say it?" Taiwei Xiao's voice was full of mockery, and he said coldly, "Or did I say something wrong? Isn't she? I taught her etiquette and shame for more than ten years. When I met a man,She just forgot all about it! She doesn't even have any sense of shame!"
Yu Qiu didn't want to hear him say that her mother was bad, so she wiped away her tears and said in a nasal voice, "If you want to scold her, no one has the right to stop you, so go ahead and scold her. I don't want to hear it, I'm leaving."
She's going home, she's not here anymore.
"stop!"
Xiao Taiwei shouted angrily from behind, Yu Qiu ignored him, ran to the door with his face covered with tears, crossed the threshold and disappeared, leaving only Xiao Taiwei staring at the empty study room in a daze.
He was also angry with her daughter many years ago, and he said something worse than this, saying all kinds of "self-willing and degrading".Later, the daughter held back her tears and kowtowed to him, turned around and left and never came back.
Yu Qiu couldn't hold back the tears, but made the same choice as her mother. After leaving, she might return with the prince, but she might not call him grandfather again.
He was silent for a while, raised his hand, and opened his mouth to call for someone to come over, but the sound of kicking footsteps sounded outside the door.
Yu Qiu walked in again, with red eyes, and stopped far away at the door of the study.
The candle lamp lengthened her figure all the way to the desk.
"I thought about it carefully, and I know that you are for my own good. I came back to ask you a word, can you speak well?" Yu Qiu said with tears in his voice, "If you can speak well, I will listenIf I canβt speak properly, Iβll leave.β
Taiwei Xiao was silent for a moment, then scolded: "Wipe away the tears."
Yu Qiu wiped away tears clumsily, and heard him say, "I ask you, what are your feelings for the prince now? Tell me the truth!"
