For the first time, Jian Yuyan clearly realized that he really liked Yan Yiming.
In this world, apart from Jian Yuer, Yan Yiming is the second woman who makes him feel distressed and concerned.
Even though it was because the face looked too similar to Yu'er in the beginning, but in the past six months since they knew Yan Yiming, he rarely looked for Jian Yu'er's shadow on Yan Yiming.
Yan Yiming is an extremely contradictory yet inexplicably harmonious woman. When she becomes dissolute, even the women in the brothels cannot compare to her. But when she picks up a pen or plays chess, she is more steady and virtuous than many young ladies from aristocratic families. She is clearly of the most unbearable identity, yet she has an indescribable dignity.
Jian Yuyan smiled helplessly. He hadn't visited A Ming recently, but the number of times he missed her increased day by day.
His men were painting a picture of a beauty. The painting was originally intended for A Ming but was accidentally seen by Yu'er. These past two days, Yu'er would ask from time to time whether the painting was finished. Jian Yuyan could only paint a new picture for Jian Yu'er.
The brushstrokes were still familiar. He had painted too many beauties, but the most of them were still Jian Yuer. He picked up the brush casually and in a short while he had a clear outline, and then he carefully depicted the facial features and eyebrows.
When the painting was framed and given to Jian Yuer, Jian Yuer was a little surprised, "Hey, why isn't it the one from that day? That one was already very good."
"That one was accidentally drawn with a mistake," Jian Yuyan said with a smile, "Do you like this one?"
"Of course I like it." She happened to have worn the dress in the painting a few days ago, so it must be specially painted for her by her brother these days. Jian Yuer looked at the painting carefully several times, "My brother's painting skills are really getting better and better."
Jian Yuyan touched Jian Yuer's hair lovingly, "As long as Yuer likes it."
Prime Minister Jian sent someone to look for Jian Yuyan. The smile on Jian Yuyan's face disappeared completely. His beautiful upturned peach blossom eyes quickly became deep and complicated after saying goodbye to Jian Yuer.
Prime Minister Jian called Jian Yuyan over, and after dismissing the others around him, he leisurely whispered to Jian Yuyan, "Your Majesty is seriously ill."
Jian Yuyan suddenly looked up.
The current emperor is actually not very old, he is just in his forties, but like the original Taizu, the successors of the Nangong family do not seem to live long.
Your Majesty's ascension to the throne has always been a secret that no one dared to discuss. After all, Your Majesty was neither the eldest son nor the legitimate heir. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Your Majesty has been extremely diligent since he ascended the throne. Now that the world is at peace, his health has also declined.
There was no sign of joy on Prime Minister Jian's face, but Jian Yuyan felt indescribably complicated and sad in his heart.
Yan Yiming watched the replay of the plot and saw that Jian Yuyan's expression changed instantly after he said goodbye to Jian Yuer, and suddenly he had a strange feeling.
Yan Yiming didn't know what Jian Yuyan and Jian Xiang said afterwards, but there was a short summary of the game's background, which basically said that the emperor fell ill at that time, and ordered the crown prince to be regent, and the princes of various vassal states were ordered to return to Beijing.
Yan Yiming looked at the words "kings of various places" and suddenly realized, "Xiao Wu is going back to Beijing?"
Little Apple was stunned for a moment, "Ah... yeah."
The area north of Peking is not peaceful. The other male protagonist in the game, Shao Jingyu, is in Beidaying, even further north of Peking. King Nangong Ye of Yue has been guarding Peking for a year. He did not even return to the capital at the end of last year. It can be seen that the political affairs in Peking are really busy.
If Nangong Ye returns to Beijing this time, it will be his first time returning to Beijing since he left Beijing.
Thinking of Nangong Ye, Yan Yiming suddenly sighed with some sadness. It has been a year and a half since he left the first world. Nangong Ye is now eighteen years old and is truly an adult.
I don’t know what has changed now compared to the past.
Xiao Pingguo thought about it, but Nangong Ye was not one of the four male protagonists after all, so the few years about him in the game were very minimal. The only part that was written about him took place in the future, so Xiao Pingguo couldn't explain it clearly.
Fortunately, Yan Yiming did not ask any more questions, but took out the card used to capture Jian Yuyan.
The card will only show the summary of all the stories on this card after the walkthrough is completely completed. Now there is only one sentence on the back of the card, "Trust and redemption will give you happiness in the darkness of the world."
When Yan Yiming didn't know Jian Yuyan's identity at first, he thought it was just a dark reflection of Jian Yuyan's love experience. However, after learning about his identity, the meaning behind this sentence became much richer and deeper than before.
He has a dark identity that is completely different from his gentle appearance. From the moment he was born, he has been carrying hatred that he can never get rid of.
On the back of the card, in addition to Jian Yuyan’s handsome photo, there are four data about Jian Yuyan’s card.
IQ: 155, EQ: 197, execution: 98, decision-making ability: 89.
Yan Yiming looked at the last two data and his delicate eyebrows slightly frowned.
In terms of IQ and action, Jian Yuyan is 10 points higher than Nangong Xuan, but because this is an SSR card, the basic data is supposed to be high, so in terms of IQ and action, Jian Yuyan and Nangong Xuan should be roughly the same.
Among the four people, Jian Yuyan has the highest emotional intelligence, with a high score of 187, which directly beats Nangong Xuan, who has an emotional intelligence of only 22.
But the last item, decision-making ability, the decision-making ability value on Nangong Xuan's SR card is as high as 178, but Jian Yuyan is clearly an SSR card, and his decision-making ability is only 89.
As a person in a higher position, especially as an emperor, excellent decision-making ability is undoubtedly the most important requirement, but Jian Yuyan's decision-making ability is terribly low.
During the time that he and Jian Yuyan knew each other, Jian Yuyan was actually a person who was easily soft-hearted, so he was able to quickly change his previous thoughts after Yan Yiming showed weakness. His relationship with her is on and off, and he and Jian Yuer have been unable to let go and come to terms with each other for many years. He is sentimental and easily swayed. To put it nicely, he is gentle and considerate, but to put it bluntly, he is clearly indecisive.
With Jian Yuyan's personality, Yan Yiming really doubted whether he was suitable to be a decisive and ruthless superior.
Xiaopingguo would definitely pretend to be dead at this time, and Yan Yiming would not be able to ask her anything. Xiaopingguo had let the cat out of the bag at the beginning, and Yan Yiming remembered that the cat said that Nangong Xuan did not ascend the throne smoothly.
Chinese characters are so profound that Yan Yiming couldn't figure out whether the key point of this sentence was "smoothly" or "ascend the throne", so no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what the final outcome would be.
So he decided not to think about it anymore. Yan Yiming shook his head, which was dizzy from thinking, and went back to sleep.
Why think so much? What is going to happen will happen. She just needs to go with the flow of the story.
Although Jian Yuyan did not mention to Yan Yiming that he would no longer come to Plum Garden, he had already promised Jian Yuer after all, so Jian Yuyan never stayed overnight in Plum Garden again, and came here less often during the day.
He was reluctant to reject Jian Yuer, but also reluctant to abandon Yan Yiming. Now that the situation had developed into this, Jian Yuyan himself didn't know how to end it.
Yan Yiming once discussed Jian Yuyan’s complicated psychological process with Xiaopingguo.
First, he can't let go of Jian Yuer and loves her to the core. Second, Jian Yuyan still has illusions and doesn't think the probability of him and Jian Yuer ending up together is zero.
First, he couldn't let go of himself, and after spending some time together, he slowly developed feelings for Jian Yuer. Second, Jian Yuyan didn't think that the probability of him and Jian Yuer ending up together would be 0, but it was definitely not 100%. In other words, he was prepared to take the blame himself if his fantasy was shattered.
If it was Nangong Xuan, he wouldn't have such concerns at all. For someone like him, if he likes someone, he would do it 100%.
He was too soft-hearted and gave the initiative of this matter to Jian Yuer. This was the biggest reason why Jian Yuyan fell into this choice.
Little Apple listened in a daze for most of the day, and finally concluded, "So in the end you are still the top one. If Jian Yuyan and Jian Yuer can really become a couple, you will definitely be the one who gets kicked out?"
Yan Yiming:! ! ? ? ?
This doesn't sound nice at all, but it seems to be true?
If Jian Yuer is really willing to go to the orthopedics department with Jian Yuyan, no matter how soft-hearted or guilty Jian Yuyan is, he will not stay with her anymore.
“So,” Yan Yiming circled his own name with a pen, “If you don’t want to be kicked out, there’s only one way.”
"What can I do?"
"Let Jian Yuyan's fantasy be completely shattered," Yan Yiming said softly, "I want to take a gamble. I want to bet that Jian Yuer will keep Jian Yuyan or send him to me."
Two days later, Jian Yuyan came to the Plum Garden. When he arrived, Yan Yiming was painting.
Because he retained the memories of the former Miss Yan, Yan Yiming was quite good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he was not as proficient as Jian Yuyan.
Jian Yuyan chuckled and walked over, stood behind Yan Yiming, held her hand and patiently taught her, then watched Yan Yiming slowly describe it himself, and soon he had outlined the handsome outline of a man.
Yan Yiming looked up and asked him with a smile, "Am I a fast learner?"
Jian Yuyan realized that Yan Yiming's painting was of himself. He couldn't help laughing, but his heart was warm. He suddenly remembered that he had taught Yu'er to paint, but Yu'er stopped learning from him as she grew up.
When he came to his senses, he realized that Yan Yiming was looking at him seriously. Jian Yuyan felt a little guilty. He reached out and held Yan Yiming's hand, pulled her to sit on his lap and asked her softly, "Are you feeling bored recently? Let me take you out to play."
He came less often since the last time, and was afraid of being seen by Yu'er again, so he never took Yan Yiming out again. Yan Yiming was actually a very playful person, and it was really boring for her to stay in the house every day.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yiming shook his head and said, "I have caught a cold recently. I am not feeling well and don't want to go out. Brother Yan is not here, so I might as well catch a cold."
Jian Yuyan didn't say anything else, but took advantage of Yan Yiming's inattention to ask the maid beside him if Yan Yiming was feeling unwell these days.
The girl shook her head in confusion, "The girl is in good health."
Jian Yuyan sighed. Ah Ming must have said that on purpose. How could he let go of such a smart, considerate woman?
In the end, he did not point it out. Instead, he asked someone to send the best supplements to Yan Yiming. He also ordered the little girl beside Yan Yiming to accompany Yan Yiming out of the plum garden more often when she had time. Since he could not accompany her, he let her play by herself.
It was March again, and peach blossoms were everywhere on Fuyu Mountain. Jiang Yi accompanied Jian Yuer to Fuyu Temple.
These days, my brother no longer goes out every day, and my father is very satisfied with Jiang Yi. Jian Yuer is also happy. When she came back from Fu Yu Temple, she was talking to Jiang Yi, but she saw a familiar figure.
Although she had only seen the woman once, Jian Yuer remembered her clearly, especially since she happened to be wearing the same pure white gauze dress with silver trim that she had worn that day.
Although Jian Yuyan no longer had any contact with this woman, Jian Yuer was somewhat curious and wanted to see what the woman looked like who could make her brother like her so much, so she walked towards the woman.
Jiang Yi had already spotted the woman when Jian Yu'er turned her head, and immediately remembered the smiling eyes of the woman when she suddenly turned her head that day. He suddenly became interested, and chuckled to remind Jian Yu'er to slow down. After catching up with her in a few steps, the woman happened to turn around.
For a moment, everyone's expressions froze on their faces.
The woman opened her eyes wide because she was too shocked, but then she seemed to understand something. She hurriedly took out a veil to cover her face, forced a smile, and turned away.
Leaving behind Jiang Yi, whose eyes were dark and no one knew what he was thinking, and Jian Yuer, whose hands were shaking in shock.
Jian Yu'er didn't know how she walked back to the Jian residence until she heard a familiar voice. Jian Yuyan saw that her face was pale, and very naturally reached out and touched Jian Yu'er's forehead, "Did you catch a cold? Why do you look so bad?"
Jian Yuer suddenly woke up, and when she saw who it was, she suddenly took two steps back to avoid Jian Yuyan's hand.
Jian Yuyan's hands froze in the air, and he called her again with a forced smile, "Yu'er?"
"I... I'll go back first," Jian Yuer avoided Jian Yuyan's sight and left in a hurry without giving Jian Yuyan a chance to ask again.
Jian Yuyan's handsome features lost all expression as he stared at Jian Yuer's gradually disappearing figure. After an unknown amount of time, he turned around and walked out of the house towards the plum garden.
The author has something to say: Yan Yiming: I am innocent, I am wronged, I am aggrieved, it was you who asked me to go out and play, how would I know that Jian Yuer would come back too!
Little Apple: Hehe~~~
