Chapter 59 Jealousy "Please..."
"It seems that Miss Qu is not simple." Xie Yuting narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Yueying came back to her senses instantly and asked cautiously, "What do you mean?"
Xie Yuting pretended to be mysterious: "I'll tell you when I get back."
It's so infuriating. How can you say things halfway?
On the way back, Jiang Yueying looked at Xie Yuting angrily, as if the other party had committed a heinous crime.
She was already in a bad mood, and this guy kept her in suspense. How abominable.
"Little princess, why are you looking at me with such deep affection?"
"Hurry up and tell me." Jiang Yueying said stiffly.
For some reason, she really cared about Qu Qianyi...
Now they were in the carriage, guarded by the East Palace's entourage outside, and no one could hear their conversation.
Xie Yuting fell onto the soft couch at the back, leaning against the table, and said slowly: "I'm afraid Miss Qu has realized that I'm pretending to be stupid and I'm not a fool."
"Ah?!" Jiang Yueying was so scared that she almost jumped up.
When was it discovered? Will the other party reveal it? This is a big deal. Xie Yuting can still be so leisurely. How can he be so carefree?
She pushed him in panic: "Why don't you take it seriously?"
Xie Yuting remained calm and composed. "What are you afraid of? Judging from her expression, she probably already knew about this. She even came here to remind me about the theft of the imperial mausoleum. It's obvious she's on the side of the Eastern Palace."
"I just wonder if this is also what Minister Qu meant."
That made sense. Qu Qianyi had helped her several times, so she should have no bad intentions. But... what if she had other feelings for Xie Yuting?
The case of the theft in the imperial mausoleum is of great importance. Qu Qianyi is not an ignorant child and naturally knows the pros and cons. Even so, she still comes to remind Xie Yuting. Who would risk his life to help someone for no reason?
Either they want to be a meritorious official, or they are in love with the prince himself.
After much thought, based on the piano score, the latter is the most likely possibility.
Jiang Yueying frowned slightly and pursed her lips unconsciously.
He glanced down and fixed his gaze on Xie Yuting's face.
He was dressed in a gorgeous robe, leaning on the armrest in a dashing manner, his sleeves rippling like running water, his peach blossom eyes gently closed, with a faint smile at the corner of his lips, like a fox pretending to be asleep.
She couldn't help but curse in her heart, "You stinky hooligan who attracts all kinds of people."
Peach blossoms are coming to my door!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Jiang Yueying gently kicked him and asked, "Do you like that music sheet?"
Xie Yuting raised his head and immediately handed over the music score: "If you want to see it, I'll give it to you. Miss Qu's music skills are the best in Kyoto, so the music score she compiled must be good."
Jiang Yueying held the music score and muttered to herself: You really understand it. You even know why I am the best in Kyoto in piano skills.
snort.
"Tell me... why did she give you the music score?" she asked awkwardly.
Xie Yuting said, "I just looked through it carefully. There's no secret message inside, and there's no code in the music. It shouldn't be trying to pass on any intelligence to me."
"..." Jiang Yueying was stunned. He was serious again at this time?
He really doesn't understand romance.
"Then let me take a look first." With selfish motives, she quickly took the music score and put it in her arms.
She thought to herself, it’s just playing the piano, so she would ask someone to buy her a piano tomorrow.
…
The next day, Jiang Yueying really brought a zither to Nanyuan.
There is no need to go out and buy it now. After all, Xie Yuting listens to music all day long, so it is easy to find a piano in the East Palace.
Under the osmanthus tree.
On the table lies a seven-stringed zither made of paulownia wood and painted with gold. The body of the zither is slender and smooth, and the surface is as smooth as jade. The strings emit a subtle luster under the sunlight, so bright, elegant and quiet that one dares not touch it easily.
Jiang Yueying stared at the piano intently, plucking the strings from time to time. Sure enough, a piercing sound pierced her eardrums, and she couldn't help but frown.
Alas, the sound of the piano played by others is like the music of nature, but she doesn’t even know how to pluck the strings.
So stupid.
He couldn't help but think of Qu Qianyi again. Her appearance, talent, and demeanor are rare in this world. If she really likes Xie Yuting, why would Xie Yuting dare not like her?
The prince can have many concubines.
But considering Qu Qianyi's family background, being a concubine would be too much of an injustice. The other party shouldn't be too upset...
She sat under the osmanthus tree, with a sad face, plucking the strings of the zither randomly, and the clanging sound echoed throughout the South Garden.
His warm chest pressed against her back, and the faint scent of ginkgo leaves lingered around her. Xie Yuting, who had returned at some point, put his arms around her waist and said in a tone that sounded a bit provocative: "Did you miss me?"
Jiang Yueying's thoughts were interrupted, and she stopped moving her hands: "Why did you come back so early? Is it settled with Minister Meng?"
Xie Yuting nuzzled her neck and said, "Well, you didn't see Minister Meng's expression. He was secretly sizing me up during court today, as if he didn't believe that Grand Tutor Du was my teacher."
"But I told him about the teacher's death, and this gentleman immediately changed his face and said he would cut the third brother into pieces."
Jiang Yueying sighed.
A few days later, the news of Master Du's death reached Kyoto. I wonder how many of his former disciples were heartbroken.
As he spoke, Xie Yuting casually plucked the strings of his zither: "You want to learn to play the zither?"
Jiang Yueying couldn't explain why she had to embarrass herself with this zither, and stammered an excuse: "I'm just curious... Miss Qu's music score."
"The musicians in my palace are comparable to those in the imperial court. If you really want to learn, just let them teach you."
Jiang Yueying listened absentmindedly, her mind still on Qu Qianyi. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and asked, "Are you familiar with Miss Qu?"
When these words were spoken, both of them were stunned.
Her ears instantly turned red, and she tried to make amends: "I was just asking casually. After all, she knows your secret. What if...?" She couldn't explain the reason for a long time.
Xie Yuting stared deeply at her blushing cheeks, and suddenly he understood.
"When I was studying at Chongwen Hall, Miss Qu often attended classes with the princes and princesses, so I knew her. Later, I insisted on returning to the Eastern Palace, so I never went to Chongwen Hall again."
To put it clearly, we were classmates when we were children, but we were not familiar with each other and we had little contact after growing up.
She pricked up her ears and listened carefully, muttering inexplicably: "So they are childhood sweethearts..."
Xie Yuting: “……?”
How can we be childhood sweethearts? That’s not how the word is used.
Aren't his words clear enough?
It was so unfair. He picked up the girl and walked straight to the bedroom. Jiang Yueying struggled on his shoulders, panicking. He didn't know what was wrong with this guy.
As soon as she returned to the room, she was thrown onto the bed. The colorful tassels on the bedside shook violently, like ripples on a turbulent lake.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Yueying's cheeks puffed up with anger. "I just asked Miss Qu, why are you doing this?"
She felt so aggrieved that Xie Yuting had actually thrown her down for Qu Qianyi. Although the couch was very soft, like falling into a cloud of cotton, he... was just too much!
"You keep calling her Miss Qu. I've never seen you so concerned about her." Xie Yuting leaned closer, pinched her chin, and looked at her carefully. "Little Princess, are you jealous?"
Eat, be jealous...
My heart suddenly started pounding.
Jiang Yueying immediately retorted: "How could I be jealous of you!"
The blush on her cheeks and the rosy corners of her eyes are like the finest rouge, which is intoxicating.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips parted slightly. The disguised ferocity and inner panic blended together, contrasting with an indescribable beauty.
Xie Yuting chuckled: "Little Princess, feel your heart, are these words false?"
"...Don't be so sentimental."
She muttered softly, her mind in turmoil.
What's going on? Is she really jealous...
Xie Yuting pretended to get off the bed and said, "Since the little princess doesn't admit it, I have no choice but to go find Miss Qu."
Jiang Yueying acted faster than she thought. She grabbed his hair and pulled it, making the man scream. She held her breath and pushed Xie Yuting down on the couch. To prevent him from running away, she sat on his waist and held him down tightly.
After completing a series of movements, she was already out of breath. Her round eyes were wide open, with ripples trembling in the depths of her eyes, as if she was about to go crazy at the next moment.
Or the kind that cries and gets angry at the same time.
Xie Yuting's hair was pinned down by her, and when he tried to move his head, Jiang Yueying grabbed his chin and said coldly, "Do you dare to try?"
"Don't press my hair." He laughed angrily.
Jiang Yueying only then noticed it and helped him tidy up his hair, making sure it wouldn't hurt, and continued to hold him down to prevent him from running away.
Seeing that she was really angry, Xie Yuting softened his tone instantly: "Don't be angry, I'll find time to return the music sheet to Miss Qu, okay?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yueying's anger subsided a lot.
“Will it be…”
"I didn't know at first that this was the music sheet she had personally compiled. As the saying goes, no merit, no reward. I can't just take someone else's things for free. Besides, I don't like music sheets, I only like sword sheets."
His voice was soft and coaxing.
Jiang Yueying felt a tingling sensation in her ears. She pursed her lips and began to regret her impulsiveness.
Just now, when she learned that Xie Yuting was going to look for Qu Qianyi, she suddenly couldn't control herself and did a series of incredible things... Xie Yuting couldn't be blamed for this.
Was it a bit too harsh? Didn’t it hurt him?
[Hello, reviewer, this is the female protagonist pulling the male protagonist's hair.]
I seemed to have pulled his hair quite hard just now...
Xie Yuting suddenly said: "I don't like people who play the piano, I only like people who practice swordsmanship."
Jiang Yueying seemed to be scalded, she was at a loss and her eyes were wandering around.
In a panic, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of his face. Xie Yuting was lying on the couch with messy hair. Even though he was in a lower position, he was still calm and composed, staring at her with burning eyes.
She blushed again.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart that Xie Yuting, this troublemaker, should have covered his peach blossom eyes to stop him from looking at people with such affectionate eyes and causing misunderstandings.
The palm of her hand was suddenly scratched.
Her body trembled slightly, and she glared at him with her eyes lowered.
Xie Yuting said frivolously, "Little Princess, how long have you been riding on me? Do you really like it so much? Why not wait for a day and consummate the marriage today?"
As he was speaking, a burst of internal energy shot out from his fingertips, and the bed curtains instantly spread out, blocking out the sunlight outside, and the bed became slightly dim.
"I don't mind having sex in broad daylight." His big palm pressed against her narrow waist.
There was a gentle breeze outside the house, and the window frames rustled softly.
Their breathing intertwined on the couch as they stared at each other.
Xie Yuting looked at her calmly, waiting for her to get angry and curse at him, or run away.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueying just remained silent for a long time.
Xie Yuting was so quiet that he felt strange and couldn't help but add, "Little Princess, are you shy already?"
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yueying's dark eyes flickered, and she said word by word: "Okay, let's consummate the marriage today."
"Huh?" Xie Yuting was stunned.
Then, Jiang Yueying ripped open his outer robe, and there was a ripping sound -
There was a big tear in the gorgeous robe.
Jiang Yueying continued her efforts and tore off his robe and undershirt in one breath. She also took off the hard waist belt under his buttocks and threw it on the ground.
Ding-dong.
The gold and jade inlaid waist belt made a crisp sound.
Xie Yuting was stunned and speechless for a moment.
After Jiang Yueying threw the waist belt, her movements froze. What should she do next...?
After a long while, Xie Yuting took the initiative and pressed the girl's frail body down, supporting her head with his arms. He looked down at her with a stern gaze, "Are you serious?"
Riding a tiger, it was difficult to back down. Jiang Yueying puffed out her chest and said, "So what if it is—hmm!"
Before she finished speaking, Xie Yuting blocked her lips and kissed her tightly, fiercely and passionately.
Their lips pressed together, rubbing against each other, causing a fiery heat. After getting permission, Xie Yuting did not hesitate to be polite with her. He pinched her chin and wantonly invaded the girl's soft lips and tongue, licking every inch of her mouth. The hot breath exchanged and entangled with each other, making people dizzy.
Jiang Yueying's chest kept rising and falling, and her breathing echoed in the quiet room, making the atmosphere even more heated.
She clumsily tried to untie Xie Yuting's clothes. Most of them had been torn just now, so now it was even easier to take them off. She pulled them off with a light tug.
Revealing a large area of smooth chest and flowing and clean muscle lines, he looks very charming in the dim atmosphere.
Her palms rested on the other's firm and elastic chest. She couldn't help but want to take a look. Just as she raised her head, she was held down hard, and the flaming kiss instantly burned her neck.
Xie Yuting placed kisses on the side of her neck, and his sharp teeth bit a small piece of thin skin and deliberately bit it hard.
"Hiss..." Jiang Yueying cried out in pain softly. The place where she was bitten was numb and unbearable, and she even wanted more.
His large palms went straight in, opened the thin collar, untied the laces, and his hands were as flexible as fish.
The wind blew gently outside the bed curtains.
Inadvertently, the dress was dropped on the ground, along with the petticoat, all piled up together.
Suddenly she felt a little cold and shivered, and Xie Yuting immediately hugged her tightly.
Jiang Yueying moaned softly, her whole body flushed red.
Her eyes were already misty, and her eyes were filled with water mist, which looked so wet and pitiful.
"Do you feel it?" He took her hand.
Jiang Yueying's eyes suddenly widened, and she froze when she realized something.
Something was wrong, not what she had imagined.
She struggled to get up. Xie Yuting didn't understand why, so he let her prop up her upper body. He saw the girl's eyes staring at that place, her face flushed like a peach blossom.
Xie Yuting kissed her and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Do you really want to see it clearly?"
Jiang Yueying's tears fell and she suddenly burst into tears.
"?" Xie Yuting hurriedly coaxed, "Why are you crying?"
Jiang Yueying took another furtive glance and bit her lip: "Why are you different from other men? Yours is too... exaggerated."
"Have you seen other men?" Xie Yuting narrowed his eyes suddenly, looking dangerous.
"No, no, I saw it on the fire avoidance map..."
Xie Yuting took a deep breath: "So you were crying out of fear?"
Jiang Yueying was embarrassed to admit it, but she was not prepared and was afraid that it would be very painful, so she had to say: "Wait a little longer, I... am afraid I can't swallow it."
It's easy to say.
Xie Yuting's forehead veins throbbed: "Are you going to abandon me?"
She was in the wrong to begin with. She was the one who agreed to consummate the marriage, but she backed out in the end. Anyone would be angry... Fortunately, Xie Yuting had a good temper, otherwise he would have turned hostile on the spot.
So Jiang Yueying no longer cared about her shame and gently kissed Xie Yuting's lower abdomen, and said coquettishly: "Please..."
After acting coquettishly, her cheeks flushed red, and she hugged the soft pillow beside her to cover her head, feeling completely ashamed to face anyone.
The air was instantly quiet. Jiang Yueying didn't dare to look at Xie Yuting's expression, and she didn't understand why he didn't say anything. Was he really angry? She didn't mean it...
She was nervous and moved the soft pillow away, revealing a crack to peek at Xie Yuting. As a result, she saw Xie Yuting slowly...
In the dim light, his outline was covered with a veil and lowered.
Jiang Yueying was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out, and then fireworks exploded in her head.
"Don't, Xie Yuting..."
The other party turned a deaf ear.
A breeze blew by, gently spreading a large area of shyness.
When the bright moon sank in the west, Jiang Yueying seemed to be in a dream, her eyes as red as a rabbit's.
Looking at him in a daze, she saw Xie Yuting chuckle and then kiss her ear.
Very light and precious.
Jiang Yueying came back to her senses, her voice soft and sticky: "Who told you... not to..."
"My little princess loves cleanliness, so naturally she smells the sweetest," Xie Yuting smiled. "I'll let you go this time, but don't try to escape next time."
Why did she say such disgusting things? Jiang Yueying blushed and was extremely embarrassed: "I...next time I will definitely not back down."
The other party would even do such a thing for her, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to get married. It was really inappropriate.
Xie Yuting covered the two of them with the quilt, hugged her and comforted her: "It's a matter between husband and wife, there's no need to feel guilty, but next time you have to comfort me well, otherwise I will make a fuss."
Jiang Yueying nodded and rubbed him dependently.
…
The next day, in the main hall where the court was held.
When the case of the theft in the imperial mausoleum was mentioned, Minister Meng of the Ministry of Works suddenly stood up and said that he had a way to find the thief behind the scenes.
When these words were spoken, the whole court was surprised.
Minister Meng was confident: "Your Majesty, I suspect this was the work of an internal traitor. When the Ministry of Works was rebuilding the imperial mausoleum, I applied a special powder between the bricks and stones. This powder is a secret recipe from the Jiangnan Fragrance Pavilion. It can retain its fragrance for half a year, even in the rain."
Emperor Liang was quite surprised: "You mean, this thief's feet left this kind of fragrance?"
Meng Ruhui is a very methodical person who never lies. Everyone believes what he says.
"That's right," Minister Meng said righteously, "We only need to have all the officials from the Ministry of Works and the officials guarding the imperial mausoleum to check and we'll know."
One official immediately lost his temper and said, "It's fine if the guards guarding the imperial mausoleum inspect it, but why does the Ministry of Works have to do it too?"
