When people talk about Nangong Ye, most of them say that he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are brothers, and they look so much alike. In fact, regardless of whether they look alike or not, Nangong Ye is also a handsome man, just that he still looks a little immature.
When he saw Yan Yiming at this moment, his deep eyes, which were exactly the same as Nangong Xuan's, seemed to have suddenly seen the light, and they were as bright as stars.
"My mother kept me here for half an hour, so I'm a little late. Does Ming blame me?"
The tone was just like acting coquettishly, and it was obvious that she knew Yan Yiming had no intention of blaming her, so this made the two of them even closer.
Yan Yiming smiled, then stopped smiling and raised his head, "Of course it's your fault."
The smile on Nangong Ye's lips froze. Xiaopingguo begged Yan Yiming to be a decent person. Yan Yiming automatically ignored Xiaopingguo's voice, blinked, and smiled again, "As a punishment, you have to buy me tea tomorrow. I like Biluochun."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, he realized that Yan Yiming was not angry at all but was teasing him on purpose. Nangong Ye was not angry at all after the false alarm. He even felt that Yan Yiming's naughty girlish behavior was more likable. What's more, Yan Yiming's words clearly meant that she wanted to ask him out on her own initiative.
Nangong Ye was in a good mood, and his temperament became more lively. He smiled and said, "If tomorrow is later, can I still invite you to have tea the day after tomorrow?"
Nangong Ye looked at Yan Yiming with gentle yet anxious eyes. If possible, not only tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but every day thereafter, he wanted to spend time with Yan Yiming.
"Since you are so handsome," Yan Yiming pretended to think seriously, and after looking Nangong Ye up and down, he said in a serious tone, "Of course I am very happy to do so."
Nangong Ye was very happy to be teased.
He used to dislike people saying that he looked like his brother, but as he and Yan Yiming gradually got to know each other, he was glad that he looked so similar to his brother. If it was because of their similar looks that it was possible for him to like him, he would be extremely happy.
Yan Yiming had no idea what Nangong Ye was thinking at the moment. She looked at Nangong Ye's facial features for a long time. Maybe it was because she had been looking at him for a long time, or maybe it was because she really didn't like Nangong Xuan and her fondness for Nangong Ye grew, and she felt less and less that the two were similar.
Nangong Ye looked up and met Yan Yiming's gaze fixed on his face. He asked her what she was looking at with some joy and trepidation.
"Look at you," Yan Yiming said with a smile, "After looking at you for a long time, I suddenly feel that the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince don't seem to be that similar."
Nangong Ye's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Yan Yiming would say that if they didn't look alike, then we wouldn't meet again. With a forced smile, he casually asked, "How are they not alike?"
"The eyes are not similar, and the lips are not similar either." Yan Yiming stretched out his hand and traced the lines of Nangong Ye's lips in the air. "The prince doesn't like to smile. Whether it's the color of his eyes or the curve of his lips, people stay away from him. The Fifth Prince always smiles, and people can't help but want to get close to him."
Nangong Ye sensed something different, as if Yan Yiming was not what he imagined, "Then which one does Ah Ming like?"
"People who love to laugh always have good luck," Yan Yiming said, looking at Nangong Ye, "I like people who laugh at me, and I also like people who can laugh at me."
Nangong Ye's eyes suddenly fell on Yan Yiming's face as if they were burning. Yan Yiming was wearing an ivory-white long dress today, with her neck and sleeves delicately decorated with silver thread, which made her face look even more beautiful. The jade pendant hanging from the ear drags on the fair shoulders and neck, moving again and again, making people want to use their hands instead of the earrings to gently stroke the creamy skin.
However, as a young man, I have never lacked these beautiful thoughts. If it weren't for this teahouse, I would have wanted to hug the person tightly in my arms.
Nangong Ye felt that it was already too late for some things to happen. Yan Yiming had already performed the ceremony of coming of age two years ago, and it was time for him to get married.
Most of those who can come here to drink tea are either rich or noble, and the little boy who can serve on the second floor has seen countless nobles. After entering the room and seeing Nangong Ye, he was so shocked that he dared not look up again. After making tea, he quickly left the room.
Xiao Pingguo heard that as soon as the little boy walked out of the room, he was pulled into the tea room two doors away by the maids who had been waiting outside. The young ladies who had been talking about this before anxiously asked Yan Yiming who he was in the same room with. The little boy glanced over here and then said a few words mysteriously.
The young ladies present were ready to ridicule him, but when they found out that this man was the Fifth Prince, they felt as if their throats were pinched and they couldn't utter a word.
After a while, someone suppressed his jealousy and said suspiciously, "Little kid, don't you recognize the wrong person..."
The little boy raised his hands to the sky and swore that he had seen the crown prince and the fifth prince before. How dare he tell such a lie?
The young ladies looked at each other, gnashing their teeth and wishing they could bite Yan Yiming to death. They couldn't get over it and could only whisper that Yan Yiming was shameless.
Yan Yiming guessed that the young lady probably wanted to scold her for seducing her younger brother and then her older brother, but because she was a lady from a wealthy family after all, she really couldn't say such words, otherwise she wouldn't have almost torn the handkerchief in her hand into two.
"Isn't this Miss Jian and Lord Jiang?" Nangong Ye suddenly spoke, drawing Yan Yiming's attention back from the next room.
Looking down at the long street below the teahouse, Jian Yuer was wearing a veil and talking to a handsome man.
"Lord Jiang?" This was not the Lord Jiang she had imagined.
"It is Jiang Yi, the only one who has won three top honors in the past hundred years. He is just a young man now." Nangong Ye's eyes stayed on Jiang Yi and Jian Yu'er for a while before continuing, "It's just that Jiang Yi is famous for being cold and indifferent. Even I have never seen Jiang Yi smile at anyone. I don't know what ability this Miss Jian has to make this cold-faced man laugh so happily."
Yan Yiming could tell that Nangong Ye was mocking Jian Yuer. He felt amused and touched. Such obvious protective behavior was really handsome and cute. However, he couldn't reveal that he knew it all along, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it. "Maybe they have known each other for a long time and have some connection."
Nangong Ye did not comment, but there were some things he did not say to Yan Yiming.
It was precisely because he had seen Jiang Yi treat others so coldly that the fact that he treated Jian Yuer differently now showed that there must be something fishy going on, or even some ambiguous elements.
However, Nangong Ye did not want to get involved in this matter. He hoped that his brother would marry Jian Yuer tomorrow so that he could feel at ease.
Before leaving, the two of them happened to run into a few young ladies who were traveling together. The people of Chenxia are open-minded and there is no saying that women cannot go out or see people. The young ladies seemed to have just realized that Nangong Ye was here. They all greeted him with joy. When they saw Yan Yiming, they pretended to be surprised and said, "Miss Yan is also here. I wonder if His Highness and Miss Yan met by chance or came here to drink tea together."
Most of these ladies are unwilling to believe that Yan Yiming and Nangong Ye have any connection.
As a result, Nangong Ye didn't think about hiding anything at all, or maybe he didn't even know a few of these ladies. Because he was in a really good mood today, he still showed off with a smile on his face, "Of course I came here to drink tea with Ah Ming."
The girls all looked unhappy, but the leader, Miss Li, still forced a smile and pretended to be surprised to invite Yan Yiming, "What a coincidence today, I didn't expect to meet Sister Yan. We just happened to meet up to go to Lihe Garden to appreciate the flowers. Sister Yan, why don't you go with us?"
Yan Yiming looked at the group of dramatic girls with a half-smile. Just then, Lu Mei came in from outside and happily handed the small paper bag in her hand to Yan Yiming.
Nangong Ye's eyes were immediately attracted by the small paper bag. He took a curious look and asked, "What is this?"
"Chestnut candy", Yan Yiming did not ignore Nangong Ye's eyes that suddenly lit up. He turned around and rejected Miss Li's invitation with great regret. He and Nangong Ye left together under the murderous gazes of the girls.
I could still hear the two of them talking intermittently.
The Fifth Prince couldn't hide his joy as he asked Yan Yiming, "So Ah Ming also likes to eat this?"
"You like it," Yan Yiming picked up one and teased Nangong Ye, "Qier said that His Highness likes this the most. It really has a child's taste."
Then they watched as the Fifth Prince came over and ate the chestnut candy from Yan Yiming's hand. In this position, he smiled at Yan Yiming and whispered, "Don't treat me like a child."
No one could hear what the two said afterwards, but one could tell from their intimate actions that they had a special relationship. The Fifth Prince even called Yan Yiming "A Ming" just now, and Yan Yiming actually fed candy to the Fifth Prince with his own hands?
Doesn’t Yan Yiming just follow the prince with his eyes wide open?
Why is the Fifth Prince so close to this notorious woman?
Little Apple followed behind and whispered to Yan Yiming, "Host, they all said that it was a shameless fairy like you who seduced Xiao Wuzi."
Yan Yiming picked up a chestnut candy and put it in his mouth, "Thank you for the compliment."
"Maybe everyone will know that you cheated on the prince tomorrow."
"It's just right that everyone knows about it. What's cheating? Have I ever been with Nangong Xuan?" Yan Yiming chewed the candy in his mouth, thinking of Nangong Ye's smile that only had her in his heart, and muttered, "Xiao Wuzi actually likes sweets so much, but the ancient cane sugar is really not very delicious, what a pity, if I have the chance, I will let him taste what kind of candy is delicious."
