Chapter 133 Nodding for some unknown reason

Ji Jinyou's face tensed up, and she pushed him hard: "Don't make such a joke."

Xue Yili took a step forward, holding Ji Jinyou's shoulders with both hands, looking serious and speaking in a solemn tone: "This is not a joke, I like you and want to marry you."

Ji Jinyou was stunned as if struck by lightning. He looked up at Xue Yili's handsome face and remained silent for a long time.

Looking at the dazed look of the little girl, Xue Yili's lips curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just waited quietly for her to come back to her senses.

Ji Jinyou carefully looked at Xue Yili's expression and found that he was not joking. His heart began to beat uncontrollably and his cheeks suddenly became hot.

Because of this sudden news, the man in front of me, who I had known since childhood, suddenly became a stranger.

She didn't know how to deal with this situation, nor did she know how to answer him. She was panicked, took two steps back, turned around and ran.

Looking at the panicked figure, Xue Yili sighed softly and did not chase after him.

Ji Jinyou ran back to the palace where he was staying in one breath and said, "I'm tired and need to sleep for a while. Don't disturb me."

Then he went into the inner room, kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, crawled under the quilt, and covered his head.

Jin Xing and Hai Tang, who had run back with them, followed them to the door. Seeing the situation, they looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not dare to go in to disturb them. They closed the door gently and quietly retreated.

Ji Jinyou hid in the quilt for a while before her heartbeat slowly calmed down. She threw back the quilt, sat up, put on her shoes, got down, and turned around a few times, but her heart was still restless.

She wanted to talk to someone, but this matter was of great importance and she couldn't tell Jin Xing and the others.

I had no choice but to chat with the system: [Everyone, Xue Yili said he likes me.]

System: [Our Youzi is so cute, it's normal for him to like you. ]

Facing the silent system, Ji Jinyou choked and remained silent for a moment before continuing: [He said that he wanted to marry me.]

The system doesn't think it's strange: [There are so many people who want to marry you, one more is not too much. ]

Ji Jinyou clenched her fingers and walked back and forth: [But I always treated him as my brother, how could he like me. ]

System: [If I like you, I like you. To use your human words, there is no logic to feelings.]

Ji Jinyou's mind was not on the system's answer at all, and he muttered to himself: [Why should he like me? He is the crown prince of Dayao, and he will ascend the throne as emperor in the future. His wife will be the queen of Dayao. He should marry someone from Dayao.]

System:

Youzai'er is right. 】

Ji Jinyou continued: [I will not marry him. I have to go to the palace to see my mother every day. How can I marry someone so far away?]

Hearing Ji Jinyou's panic, the system comforted her: [No matter where you marry, I will always be with you.]

Ji Jinyou still talked to himself: [But why did he suddenly like me? When did he start to like me? ]

The system cannot answer and remains silent.

Ji Jinyou kept walking around in circles in the room until she felt dizzy, but she still couldn't figure out why Xue Yili's feelings towards her suddenly changed.

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. Ji Jinyou became restless and finally called out, "Xingxing, Xingxing."

Jin Xing had been guarding the door. When she heard the noise, she opened the door and came in. Seeing the girl looking uneasy, she hurried forward and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Jinyou grabbed Jin Xing's hand and said, "Pack up your things, let's go home."

Jin Xing was stunned. "Young Master, what happened? Aren't you going to leave after Miss Yao's engagement party?"

Ji Jinyou didn't want to tell the truth, "I miss my mother. I want to go back for the New Year."

Thinking of her young master's different reactions after meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Jin Xing felt that this was not true. However, it was the first time she saw her little princess so flustered. She did not ask any more questions, just agreed, turned around and went out, telling Haitang to start packing up.

Xue Yili didn't catch up with her earlier because he wanted to give the little girl some time to calm down and then come back to have a good talk with her. However, he didn't expect that a palace maid would come to report that the little princess was packing her luggage and seemed to be leaving.

The corners of his mouth sank, he stood up and walked out quickly.

Ji Jinyou was extremely anxious and wanted to escape from this place so that she wouldn't have to face Xue Yili who had suddenly changed.

While he was busy, he heard the voice of the palace servants paying respects to the prince from outside the door. Knowing that Xue Yili had come, Ji Jinyou's heart trembled uncontrollably. He didn't want to face him at all, and whispered, "Just say I'm asleep."

Then he threw away the clothes he was holding, ran into the inner room, ran to the bed, lay down on it, pulled the quilt to cover himself, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a while, he remembered that he had not taken off his shoes, so he swung his feet and threw the shoes to the ground.

As soon as Xue Yili entered the room, he saw Jin Xing and Hai Tang standing in front of a pile of boxes and looking towards the inner room. Xue Yili asked, "Where is the little princess?"

Jin Xing and Hai Tang put down their things and saluted Xue Yili. Xue Yili asked them to get up. Jin Xing then replied, "To answer your Highness, our young master just went to bed."

Xue Yili waved his hand: "You guys go down first, I'll go in and take a look."

Jin Xing hesitated for a moment, but thinking of her young master's abnormal behavior, she agreed and took Haitang back to the door of the side room. They didn't go far away, but stood guard at the door to make sure that they could rush in as soon as the young master shouted.

Xue Yili walked straight into the inner room. The first thing he saw was two embroidered shoes lying on the ground. One was tilted and the other was turned upside down. It was obvious that they were thrown there in a panic. Xue Yili couldn't help but smile and deliberately increased his pace as he walked towards the bed.

Ji Jinyou lay face down on the bed, listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer. Her heart began to beat uncontrollably again. Her hands under the quilt were pressed tightly on her chest, but she couldn't stop the beating of her heart like a drum.

The footsteps stopped, and then there was a sinking sound beside him, and someone sat on the bed. Ji Jinyou's heart tightened, his heartbeat became faster, and his eyes closed more tightly.

Xue Yili sat beside the bed, looked down, and saw the little girl lying on her side with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep, but her eyelashes were trembling. His eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he just watched her quietly.

Ji Jinyou waited for a while, but there was no movement from the person behind him. He wondered what he was doing. He was afraid that he would find out that he was pretending to be asleep, so he didn't dare to look back. He just lay there in agony, his body almost stiff.

Seeing that the little girl was deliberately breathing lightly, Xue Yili was afraid that she would suffocate herself, so he reached out and gently touched her head. His deep and magnetic voice was particularly gentle: "Youyou, don't be afraid."

Ji Jinyou didn't say anything and didn't even blink, but his frightened heart suddenly calmed down.

Xue Yili noticed that the little girl's breathing had returned to normal. He chuckled and patted her head soothingly before saying, "I'm sorry, I scared you just now."

Ji Jinyou was really a little frightened by him and didn't answer. Xue Yili said in a gentle and kind voice: "Can we talk?"

Keep avoiding is not the solution to the problem, nor is it Ji Jinyou's style. She was silent for a moment and asked, "When did you start to like me?"

It was a good thing that she was willing to pay attention to him. Xue Yili smiled silently and told the truth: "When you came this time, I liked you when I saw you at the city gate that day."

Ji Jinyou blushed and pretended to be calm before asking, "Then, what do you like about me?"

Xue Yili: “Everything.”

Ji Jinyou felt his face was burning and turned towards the pillow.

Xue Yili saw the little girl's red cheeks, and his hand that was about to touch her head reached out uncontrollably, but he retracted it just before it touched her.

He was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice became even deeper: "Youyou, I know you can't accept it for the time being, and I know you have a lot of concerns, but don't be afraid, don't think too much, and don't leave."

"You are willing to try to get along with that top scholar, so why not give Brother Ali a chance as well?"

Ji Jinyou: "But I always treat you as my brother."

"I know." Xue Yili said guiltily: "I originally thought that we would be brother and sister for life, but... I'm sorry, I can't control my own heart."

Hearing the apology in his tone, and thinking that they might not be able to be siblings anymore after she refused, Ji Jinyou felt a lump in her throat: "But Dayao is too far away. I don't want to be too far away from my mother, my father, the queen mother, and my brothers and sisters. I will miss them."

Hearing the grievance in the little girl's voice, Xue Yili felt distressed and guilty: "I won't restrict you. Even after getting married, as long as you want to go back, you can go back anytime. If I am free, I will accompany you."

It's easy to say, but if she really married him, she wouldn't be so comfortable. Even if he let her run away, the court officials would impeach her. Ji Jinyou picked up the quilt and snorted, "You are going to be the emperor in the future. How can an emperor run away to another country?"

Xue Yili: "That's fine. I will discuss it with your father later. Our two countries have always been on good terms. I am your consort. Even if I am the emperor, it is reasonable for me to visit my own in-laws."

Ji Jinyou snorted again. She said it tactfully, but with Xue Yili's intelligence, she didn't believe that he couldn't hear her refusal. He was just playing dumb with her.

After thinking for a while, Ji Jinyou said, "When my father and mother asked me what kind of husband I wanted, I put forward a condition, that is, the man who marries me cannot take concubines, nor can he take in a concubine, let alone keep a mistress."

This condition was a bit harsh for men from wealthy families. But in Dasheng, she was the most favored little princess, protected by her father, the emperor, her mother, her concubines, and her brothers and sisters. This requirement could be easily fulfilled. If she was not satisfied with her husband, she could even divorce him.

But if she married Xue Yili, it was obvious that as a future emperor he would not marry only her for his whole life, and she would not be able to live as carefree as she did in Dayao.

Xue Yili said without hesitation: "You are enough for me in this life. I promise you that there will never be another woman in the future."

These words surprised Ji Jinyou. She finally turned around and looked at Xue Yili in disbelief.

Looking at the little girl's watery and pure eyes, Xue Yili raised his hands to the sky and spoke every word: "I, Xue Yili, swear here today that in this life, there will be no other woman except Ji Jinyou, otherwise, let..."

Ji Jinyou knelt up and covered his mouth with her hand, interrupting him: "Don't say it, it's unlucky."

Xue Yili held her hand, his eyes burning: "Can you trust me?"

Ji Jinyou pulled her hand back and put it behind her back, looking away: "What does it matter whether I believe it or not? I don't like you and I don't want to marry you."

The little girl's voice became quieter and quieter, but Xue Yili smiled. He reached out and rubbed her head: "Youyou, stay and try to get along with me. If you still don't want to marry me after Ah Yao's engagement party next year, then we can be brother and sister again, and I will never get involved."

Ji Jinyou glanced at him secretly. The afternoon sun shone in through the glass window and fell on Xue Yili's face, making the handsome face like a sculpture even more beautiful and hard to look away. Ji Jinyou was stunned for a moment and nodded his head as if possessed by some strange force.
