Chapter 401 She lived up to the Queen's expectations!
Cheng Fengqi thought that he might be drunk, or maybe it was Xuan Yue's way of pulling on his clothes that gave him courage.
Xuan Yue's heart trembled, and the hand that was holding the corner of Cheng Fengqi's clothes subconsciously loosened.
Instead, her hand was caught by Cheng Fengqi.
"Xuan Yue." Cheng Fengqi's voice was a little hoarse, "I'm sorry, I really can't marry into your family."
boom!
Xuan Yue felt her brain explode and her face instantly became hot. How did Cheng Fengqi know these words?
But... Cheng Fengqi really didn't need to emphasize this in front of her.
Xuan Yue was in a state of confusion, but she heard Cheng Fengqi say, "But if you really want to keep a concubine... can you consider me first?"
What?
Xuan Yue was completely stunned. She never expected to hear such words from Cheng Fengqi.
What... a mistress?
When did she ever say she wanted to keep a lover?
But she thought about the fact that Cheng Fengqi knew everything about her marriage to the other side, so it was obvious that Xuanshu had said something unknown.
It is also possible that some exaggeration may be added.
Her hand was held.
The burning temperature from Cheng Fengqi's palms was transmitted to her palms. Perhaps because of his martial arts training, there were thin calluses on his palms.
When it touched the back of her hand, the calluses made it itchy and hot... and the darkness infinitely magnified the feeling.
Xuan Yue's mind was in a mess. She was constantly thinking about all sorts of things and even forgot to answer Cheng Fengqi's questions.
And for Cheng Feng, this silence is an attitude and an answer.
Cheng Fengqi waited for a long time, but Xuan Yue didn't answer. Finally, he reluctantly let go of her hand slowly.
Xuan Yue was completely defenseless against him at this moment, but what else could he do?
Even when touching, he only dared to be so cautious.
He wanted to withdraw his hand, but it was held again. Xuan Yue's soft and delicate palm held his, but she could only hold a few fingers.
this……
Cheng Fengqi suddenly raised his eyes, and anticipation flashed in his bright eyes.
Does Xuan Yue's behavior represent her...
"That depends on how Master Cheng performs." Xuan Yue's voice trembled slightly with a hint of sarcasm, "I have a lot of requirements for the chief."
Cheng Fengqi laughed.
Smiling happily, he held Xuan Yue's hand tightly and said, "I will work hard and not let you down, Master Xuan."
"good."
Xuan Yue's voice was very soft, but it was clearly heard by Cheng Fengqi.
The carriage moved forward slowly. The two men sat side by side in the carriage, keeping a certain distance between them, with only their hands clasped together under their sleeves.
It seems like I can never hold you enough.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Xuan family's gate, and Xuan Yue finally reacted, "Master Cheng..."
"Fengqi." Cheng Fengqi said, "When no one is around, Yueyue can call me Fengqi, okay?"
Xuan Yue's cheeks were burning hot.
Why do the word "Yueyue" sound so special when it comes out of Cheng Fengqi's mouth?
Xuan Yue calmed herself down. She was now an official appointed by the imperial court. How could she still be so shy about these things?
She said, "Then...goodbye, the wind is rising."
They also have a holiday on New Year's Eve, and they won't see each other for the next few days. Thinking of this, Xuan Yue felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Cheng Fengqi squeezed Xuan Yue's hand and said, "See you tomorrow, Yueyue."
The Cheng family's carriage followed all the way. At this moment, both of them got off the carriage, one returned to his own carriage, and the other watched the carriage leave and prepared to return home.
But just as Xuan Yue turned around, she heard a familiar voice, "Sister, did you get it?"
Xuan Yue was startled, and soon realized it was Xuan Shu. She glared at her unhappily and said, "What nonsense."
It sounds weird to talk about whether to take it or not.
Xuan Shu smiled and came forward to look at Hongmei in her arms, "How can Master Cheng be so capable?"
"This is a reward from the Queen." Xuan Yue explained.
Xuan Shu immediately asked, "Why doesn't the Queen reward me?"
Xuan Yue laughed angrily, "Why don't you go ask the Queen?"
Xuan Shu shook her head quickly. How dare she? She only dared to grumble in front of her sister.
The two sisters walked into the house together. Xuan Yue said as they walked, "Don't make up rumors anymore. If you do that again..."
Xuan Shu just smiled, not looking afraid of Xuan Yue at all.
Anyway, my sister loves her and won’t do anything to her.
Xuan Yue really didn't do anything to Xuan Shu. He just glared at her again and said, "Your Majesty and the Queen have entrusted the selection of female officials to us. Have you completed the task I gave you?"
Xuan Shu cried out in pain, "Sister, this year is New Year, you won't do that, will you?"
"Besides, it's so late now, even the dogs are asleep..."
Xuan Yue looked at her, "You're not going to eat during the New Year? You still have to work during the New Year, go."
Xuan Yue originally thought that Cheng Fengqi's "see you tomorrow" was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect to actually see Cheng Fengqi at home the next day.
"Sir." The servant came to report, "Sir Cheng, the Minister of Revenue, is here. He said he has some official business to discuss with you."
Xuan Yue: "...Please."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but stand up and walk outside, and finally met Cheng Fengqi who walked in quickly.
The two looked at each other, with strange lights in their eyes, but neither of them showed any abnormality on their faces. Xuan Yue clasped his fists and said, "Minister Cheng."
Cheng Fengqi clasped his fists in return, "Lord Xuan."
The two looked at each other, expressionless. Xuan Yue led Cheng Fengqi to the study and closed the door.
Instead of relaxing, I became even more nervous.
It's not like she had never been alone in a room with other men before, and she had also been alone with Cheng Fengqi before, but she had never been as nervous as she was now.
She stood at the door, unwilling to move forward.
No matter where he moved, he would be closer to Cheng Fengqi.
In contrast, Cheng Fengqi was very comfortable. He was looking at Xuan Yue's study.
Just as he expected, the study was clean and tidy, and official documents were neatly arranged on the desk.
The red plum blossoms were placed in a porcelain vase, which was now placed on the desk, and seemed to be emitting a faint fragrance.
"Yueyue."
Cheng Fengqi's voice rang out, "Aren't you going to treat me to tea?"
As he spoke, he walked to the tea table on the side of the study and started making tea.
There is a charcoal stove next to the tea table, and there is boiling water in the pot on it, which is used to make tea.
Xuan Yue's eyes fell on Cheng Fengqi. His movements were smooth and flowing, and he looked really pleasing to the eye.
Xuan Yue just looked at her, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly.
Cheng Feng made some tea, poured a cup, and pushed it towards Xuan Yue, "Yue Yue, try it."
Cheng Fengqi's call was very natural and smooth, and Xuan Yue immediately felt like she was the guest.
What a great way of turning the tables.
But she still walked over and sat down, took a sip, and praised: "Not bad, I didn't expect that Master Cheng has such skills."
Cheng Fengqi also picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Lord Xuan, there are still many things you don't know."
He reached out and hooked Xuan Yue's other hand, and gently scraped her palm with his warm fingertips. "There is a long time to come, and Lord Xuan can slowly understand."
Xuan Yue subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but she keenly noticed that Cheng Fengqi's hand seemed to be trembling slightly.
Is it...nervous?
He looked calm and composed, but...
A smile flashed in Xuan Yue's eyes. She did not take her hand back, but instead held Cheng Fengqi's hand.
The fingertips also lightly tickled Cheng Fengqi's palm.
Cheng Fengqi's body trembled slightly, his eyelashes fluttered rapidly, the tips of his ears turned red, and he looked very nervous.
"Didn't Lord Cheng say he had official business to discuss with me? What does Lord Cheng want to talk to me about?" Xuan Yue asked.
What official business does Cheng Fengqi have?
However, he had placed his old mother under house arrest in a Buddhist temple. When he went to see her this morning, there was no one else at home. He felt very lonely, so he found an excuse to visit Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue's tone was teasing, and it was obvious that she already knew what Cheng Fengqi was thinking, and her question was asked with a bit of bad taste.
How could Cheng Fengqi not hear it?
He coughed lightly, held Xuan Yue's hand tightly, rubbed it in his palm, and said, "Is there anything more important than seeing you?"
He had admired her for a long time, and finally got permission to take a further step yesterday. He was so happy that he didn't sleep well last night.
All night long, all that lingered in his mind were Xuan Yue's every frown and smile.
The world has become exceptionally beautiful.
Xuan Yue glared at him, feeling that what Cheng Fengqi said was rather disgusting, but Feifan didn't feel disgusted after hearing it. On the contrary... she felt it was sweet.
Cheng Fengqi didn't leave the study until noon.
In fact, the two of them didn't do anything in there. They just held hands, drank tea, and talked a few words. From time to time, when they looked at each other, they couldn't help laughing.
It couldn’t be purer!
After all, Cheng Fengqi is a stranger, and their current relationship... is not stable yet. Even though he was reluctant, he left the Xuan family after noon.
Before leaving, he said, "Yueyue, see you tomorrow."
He looked back every few steps, his eyes full of reluctance. He made Xuan Yue feel a little sad about the separation.
Cheng Fengqi finally left.
As soon as Xuan Yue turned around, she saw someone not far away looking at her with a smile. He quickly walked up to her and looked her up and down.
Then he said, "Sister, your concubine...is not up to standard."
Xuan Yue blushed when she was told that, and glared at Xuan Shu in anger. What the hell was going on?!
But after Xuan Yue returned to the study, he couldn't help but wonder: What kind of "mistress" is qualified?
Why does she feel that... Cheng Fengqi is pretty good?
The next day, Cheng Fengqi went to Xuan's house again. The two people in the study were no different from yesterday, drinking tea and talking.
Not much was said, but both of them tasted the sweetness in the tea.
It was not until near noon that the voice of the servant came from outside the study, "Miss, the second lady wants you to meet the guest."
Although Xuan Yue and Xuan Shu are both officials, the servants of the Xuan family are still accustomed to calling them the eldest and second young ladies, after all, Master Xuan is still the head of the family.
Xuan Yue was startled by the sudden voice of the servant, and subconsciously pulled her hand out of Cheng Fengqi's palm.
Then he said to the outside world: "I have guests here."
Cheng Fengqi came to visit openly, and his family members would know this if they asked.
Xuan Shu kept an eye on everything going on and was particularly concerned about her and Cheng Fengqi, so it was impossible for him not to know such news.
What is this for?
And let her go to meet guests.
"Yueyue, if you are busy, you may go first." Cheng Fengqi was very considerate, "I'll wait for you here."
Xuan Yue hesitated a little.
What if...Xuan Shu really has something important to tell us?
"Okay." Xuan Yue stood up, "I'll be back soon."
Xuan Yue quickly arrived at Xuan Shu's yard. Nothing happened. Xuan Yue was very sensitive and realized that Xuan Shu wanted to get rid of her.
Xuan Yue’s study.
As soon as Xuan Yue left, a servant came again, holding a box of scrolls in his arms.
"Master Cheng."
After the servant bowed, he put the scroll down, but accidentally dropped it as the wind blew by.
The scrolls unraveled...
A portrait of a man appeared in Cheng Fengqi's sight. At first glance, Cheng Fengqi narrowed his eyes.
"What are these?" he asked aloud.
The servant immediately replied, "It was the Second Miss who asked me to deliver it. I didn't know about it."
"The second lady just said, please take your time to choose, eldest lady."
After the servants delivered the things, they left quickly. Cheng Fengqi looked at the scroll and laughed out of anger on the spot.
Take your time to choose!
When Xuan Yue returned to the study, Cheng Fengqi was sitting next to the scroll, looking down at it.
Xuan Yue frowned, "What is this?"
Cheng Fengqi looked up at her. Xuan Yue saw a bit of grievance in Cheng Fengqi's eyes for no reason. "This, you have to ask Master Xuan."
Xuan Yue picked one up and opened it. The portrait of the man she saw almost scared her. She immediately understood, "Xuan Shu sent it?"
What on earth does this girl want to do?
"Master Xuan." Cheng Fengqi said.
Xuan Yue's heart trembled. Since the night before yesterday, Cheng Fengqi had been calling her "Yueyue", but now he called her "Lord Xuan". Was he really angry?
Yes, it’s normal to be angry when encountering such things.
"Feng Qi, this matter..." Xuan Yue immediately explained. Xuan Yue had given her many scrolls in recent days and asked her to choose one.
But she really didn't mean to do that.
So I never even looked at these scrolls. They were thrown into the woodshed and burned as firewood as soon as they were delivered.
Before Xuan Yue finished speaking, Cheng Fengqi said, "I just looked carefully, these people...are not as good as me."
Um? ? ?
Xuan Yue didn't react for a moment, staring blankly at Cheng Fengqi. What does this mean? Are they still comparable?
"Don't you think so, Lord Xuan?" Cheng Fengqi asked.
Xuan Yue said: "I haven't seen these scrolls, let me see..."
The hand she stretched out was grabbed, Cheng Fengqi's lips curled up, and his other hand tightly wrapped around her waist.
"No one is as good as me." He said again.
Xuan Yue was about to speak when Cheng Fengqi's head suddenly moved closer, and the next moment, their lips were touching.
All the scrolls were thrown out of the window at this moment.
…
When Xie Yao and Xiao Ji learned that Cheng Fengqi had been running to Xuan's house for three consecutive days from the first to the third day of the New Year, they understood that the two must have talked it out.
Xiao Ji said: "Yaoyao, Xuan Yue was the one you pushed out, aren't you afraid of her..."
"Don't be afraid." Xie Yao answered with great confidence.
She still has this confidence.
"Your Majesty." Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji with a smile, "I have always had a good eye."
Don't employ someone you doubt, and don't doubt someone you employ. Since she has chosen Xuan Yue, of course she will always trust her.
Xiao Ji thought so too. Xie Yao always had a good vision and had never made a mistake.
He thought about it and said, "Actually, it's okay if we don't get involved in this matter." Although he was inexplicably happy that Cheng Fengqi liked Xuan Yue!
