Chapter 149 Love always makes people worry about gains and losses

Jiang Yueyao looked harmless. In addition, she had no family background in the capital. She was just a small shopkeeper in Wanhe Tower and looked easy to bully.

But only Pei Yunjin knew that behind her was not only Lu Sui, the big tree, but also Shen Baoqing protecting her.

Pei Yunjin really couldn't understand Shen Baoqing.

She doesn't want a man like Lu Sui, so what kind of man does she like?

Looking across the entire capital, there is no man who can compare to Lu Sui.

When Pei Yunjin thought that the man she longed to marry was nothing in Shen Baoqing's eyes, she felt humiliated and couldn't bear it.

When Lu Sui and the Fourth Prince came back, Jiang Yueyao had already gone to the side to rest.

Seeing Lu Sui coming over, she immediately stood up, put the woven wreath on her head, tilted her little face up, and looked at him with a smile: "Does it look good?"

Lu Sui put his hands behind his back and looked at her head.

The colorful wild flowers were woven together and worn on her head, making her already pretty face even more beautiful and eye-catching.

Lu Sui reached out and straightened the wreath that was worn a little crookedly, took another look at it, and then nodded.

"It suits you very well."

If it suits you well, then it looks good.

Jiang Yueyao immediately smiled.

She looked around and saw that the Fourth Prince had taken Pei Yunjin for a horse ride, so she went to Lu Sui.

He whispered, "Pei Yunjin just came to sow discord between you and me again."

Lu Sui raised his eyebrows.

"What did she say?"

"She said you didn't like me at all, and that I was of low status and not worthy of being with you."

Seeing Lu Sui's face darken, she giggled again: "Oh, it's okay, I fought back on the spot."

"I told her that you like me so much that I miss you to death if I don't see you for even one day."

Lu Sui, who had originally had a gloomy face, curled his lips slightly after hearing this.

The look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of doting.

He reached over and gently pinched the soft flesh of her cheek.

The voice is low and pleasant.

"Well done."

He took his hand back and asked her, "Do you still want to continue riding?"

"No more riding, let's go back to the city. They are not comfortable here anymore."

"good."

-----

Pei Yunjin ran around with the Fourth Prince. When she stopped, she looked up and looked around for Lu Sui's shadow, only to find that they had left without her knowing.

The originally high spirits suddenly cooled down a bit.

Seeing that she stopped, the Fourth Prince rode over.

"Why don't you run away?"

Pei Yunjin pulled the corners of his lips and revealed a faint smile: "I'm tired and want to go downstairs for a walk."

"Okay, then I'll walk with you."

The two men dismounted, threw the horses to the people beside them, and walked slowly along the horse field.

Seeing that she remained silent, the Fourth Prince spoke.

"You were so happy just now, why are you so silent now?"

Pei Yunjin raised her hand and smoothed the hair by her ear. Then she looked up at him and smiled, "No way. I'm just tired. How come Your Highness has the time to come here and race horses today?"

"I heard that you have been in a bad mood recently. How can you have the mind to do anything else?" The Fourth Prince glanced at her sideways, and the meaning of his words was obvious.

Pei Yunjin's expression was not noticeable.

But he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The Fourth Prince was really ridiculous.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. When the Crown Prince wanted to marry her, she was not tempted, let alone the Fourth Prince?

The fourth prince's mother was born a palace maid and had no family background to speak of. She was not at all in the emperor's eyes.

If she really wanted to choose, she should choose the third prince.

Since the death of the crown prince, the third prince has immediately become a hot figure in the court.

Even her father said that the third prince would be the next crown prince.

She also heard that the emperor had never considered the fourth prince at all.

She didn't want to come today.

But he was upset by his sister's disturbance at home, so he came when he heard the Fourth Prince's invitation.

But coming here doesn't mean anything.

The only person she wanted to marry was Lu Sui.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the smile on the Fourth Prince's face faded a little.

"I know you are attracted to Lu Sui, but now that Lu Sui is with someone else, I advise you to give up this idea."

Pei Yunjin felt somewhat angry and embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed.

But she always pretends in front of others, so she didn't get angry even so.

He just whispered, "So what? As long as he doesn't marry, I have a chance."

"What chance do you have?" The Fourth Prince couldn't help but sneer. "Pei Yunjin, you're a smart man, but you can't see the reality of love between men and women. Your father and Lu Sui are political enemies in the court. They're both eager to kill each other so they can dominate the court. And you're dreaming about it. It's ridiculous."

His words were extremely harsh.

No matter how good Pei Yunjin is at pretending, he cannot maintain the proper dignity.

Her cheeks flushed with anger.

"So what? My father won't interfere with my marriage..."

"Really? Then why don't we make a bet? Go back tonight and tell your father you want to marry Lu Sui. Let's see what he'll do."

"Besides," he suddenly leaned over, his voice low, "Lu Sui is a man with a deep mind and is too ruthless. It's good that he has you in his heart and can protect you for life, but if he doesn't have you, even if he is forced to marry him, how good will your life be?"

Pei Yunjin was a little exasperated.

"This is my business and has nothing to do with the Fourth Prince!"

She said as she walked towards her people.

Yuan Mu stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

When she glared at me, he leaned over and whispered in her ear.

"Pei Yunjin, if I ever reach the top, I promise you the title of Queen!"

Pei Yunjin paused.

She looked at the Fourth Prince and forgot her words for a moment.

Seeing her like this, the Fourth Prince added another sentence.

"Power is the best thing in this world. You can get everything you want through it. For example..." He curled his lips, "Those who look down on you, those who contradict you, and those you can't have... you can trample them under your feet to your heart's content!"

As soon as Jiang Yueyao returned to Beijing, Shen Baoqing came.

Shen Baoqing was standing at the entrance of Wanhe Tower, watching the two men coming on horseback, and blinked.

When Jiang Yueyao dismounted and walked up to her, she pulled him aside.

"When did you and him get together?"

Jiang Yueyao pinched her secretly.

"What the hell? We're just destined to be together!"

What a fate.

Shen Baoqing suddenly felt a little sorry for his fourth cousin.

Others' fate has arrived, but he is still worried about gains and losses.

well!

Love always makes people happy and annoying.

Lu Sui left first because he had something to do.

Jiang Yueyao pulled Shen Baoqing into Wanhe Tower. It was not yet dinner time. Seeing the blisters on the corners of Shen Baoqing's mouth, she made her a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

Shen Baoqing didn't drink.

Worried.

"Yaoyao, I regret it. I shouldn't have returned to Beijing."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yueyao took the account book and looked up at her while calculating the morning's accounts. "Did something happen?"

"The war in Mobei has never stopped. Although there have been reports of victory, the Xiongnu and Turkic attacks are too fierce this time. I am really worried about Dad and the others."

When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she put away the account book in her hand and sat next to her.

"Don't worry. General Shen has been guarding Mobei for so many years. He should be very familiar with the Xiongnu and the Turks. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle. The Mobei Army will definitely defeat them."

"But I haven't received a letter from my mother for ten days." She lay on the table, and Shen Baoqing, who had always been carefree and heartless, actually had tears in her eyes.

"Yaoyao, I'm so scared."
