Miss Yan, the most beautiful lady in the capital, has always been the object of pursuit by the young men of the capital's noble families. Unfortunately, Miss Yan had already made it clear that she would only marry the Crown Prince in this life.
If it were them, it would be fine, but that person is the prince, and who can compare with his nobility.
There are people who envy and jealous, including Nangong Ye.
They were both born to the Queen and were equally noble. They looked very similar, but Yan Yiming still only had the Crown Prince in her eyes. To her, he was just a younger brother of the same age as Yan Yiqi.
I have been envious, of course, and even jealous, but that's all.
But now he heard something. Even though Yan Yiming was already there, the prince was having a secret meeting with Jian Yuer.
Nangong Ye couldn't stop his anger, even though that was his biological brother.
Why do some people fail to get any results despite being infatuated with something, why do some people already have something but still don't know how to be satisfied, why do some people not know how to cherish but there are still people who think about them without expecting anything in return.
Of course he recognized the young lady just now. She was the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Jian's family and had a more prominent status than Yan Yiming.
The prince was close to her and even gave South Pearls to Jian Yuer, but gave Yan Yiming ordinary pearls. It was obvious which was more important, and it was precisely because of this that Nangong Ye became more and more angry.
Could it be that he wanted to take both of them into his pocket?
Then who is taller and who is shorter?
The answer is obvious, so Yan Yiming said that.
How could he not be angry when the person he held dear to his heart was treated like a worn-out shoe? However, besides being angry, Nangong Ye heard other meanings. Did Yan Yiming mean to give up the prince?
If she could give up the prince, he was confident that he could compete with her.
Just by looking into Yan Yiming's eyes, Nangong Ye suddenly understood that no matter whether he was ready to give up or not, Yan Yiming still only had the prince in his heart.
She had never looked at him like this before, but this one glance made him unable to look away. When her expression changed quickly as if she had just woken up from a dream, Nangong Ye realized that Yan Yiming had simply recognized the wrong person.
He looks 90% similar to his biological brother, the current Crown Prince Nangong Xuan.
Even this brief moment of palpitations was because of Nangong Xuan, which inevitably made people feel too absurd.
He recalled their conversation just now, how the prince had abandoned her for the woman named Jian, and her faint sigh, saying that she had repeatedly wronged herself just to prevent the prince from hating her more.
Maybe giving up is more like self-consolation.
Compared to Nangong Ye's complicated thoughts, Young Master Yan couldn't help but lose his temper and cursed, "I knew she must have done something to let you down! And you kept it a secret for her! When did you become such a coward! "
"I just don't want to get entangled anymore, let's part ways amicably," Yan Yiming said helplessly, "Children, don't get involved, just go play."
The children not only included Young Master Yan, but also included the Fifth Prince in this category. Nangong Ye's eyelids jumped, and he looked at Yan Yiming with a complicated expression and suddenly said,
"Is it dispersed?"
The brother and sister shut up at the same time. Yan Yiming's eyes moved and he was silent for a moment. He turned around and signaled Young Master Yan to go play somewhere else first. "Don't let anyone in. I want to talk to His Highness the Fifth Prince for a while."
Young Master Yan looked at Yan Yiming, then looked right at Nangong Ye, and finally understood his intention and turned to leave. Before leaving, he took Lu Mei, who had a dazed look on her face, with him.
"The tea is cold, so I won't serve you tea," Yan Yiming smiled and sat back on the stone bench, "Your Highness, please feel free to do as you please."
Nangong Ye sat in the seat opposite Yan Yiming. He had no appetite for the tea that Jian Yuer had drunk, and he didn't stay for tea. He locked his eyes on Yan Yiming, seeing her calm appearance as if nothing had happened just now.
"Your Highness has not been to Yan's residence for many days."
If it were in the past, Nangong Ye would have concealed all his thoughts to avoid embarrassing her, but now that the prince is no longer a barrier, Nangong Ye doesn't think it's necessary to hide it anymore. He just stared straight into Yan Yiming's eyes and said, "It has indeed been a long time since we last saw each other."
Last time, Nangong Ye accidentally revealed what he was thinking and was discovered by Yan Yiming.
As expected, Yan Yiming's smile froze slightly, then he sighed and raised his head, finally getting rid of her false appearance of being relaxed and said helplessly, "Your Highness, this is not worth it."
Without waiting for Nangong Ye to speak, Yan Yiming continued, "I never expected that His Highness would come to the mansion today, and he accidentally heard everything that Jian Yuer and I said. I have kept this a secret, not even from my mother."
"So I don't understand why you have to keep this secret," Nangong Ye felt inexplicably complicated, thinking of Yan Yiming's words just now, "You don't want this to be exposed and ruin Jian Yuer's reputation, causing the prince to dislike you even more? You said I'm not worth it, but they treated you like that, is everything you did worth it?"
Yan Yiming was silent.
Although he stopped Yan Yiming from speaking, Nangong Ye didn't feel any improvement in his mood at all.
No matter how much you like the prince, he has already chosen not to want you, hasn't he?
Yan Yiming didn't want to talk, and Nangong Ye didn't force her. After a while, he asked Yan Yiming as if he occasionally remembered, "Are the prince and I really alike?"
Yan Yiming's eyes moved slightly, "The Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince are both born to the Queen, so they are somewhat similar."
"Just a little bit?" Nangong Ye said, "If they are just a little bit similar, how could you mistake me for him?"
"I didn't," Yan Yiming answered quickly, and then he seemed to feel that his answer was too fast and didn't seem real, so he added, "I just didn't expect His Highness to be here, so I was a little surprised."
Nangong Ye looked at the woman who was clearly stubborn, and continued to ask calmly, "You didn't expect me to show up, but you were expecting the prince to show up here?"
Yan Yiming looked up at Nangong Ye, with anger in his eyes, but he suppressed it and smiled, "Your Highness, since you have already guessed it, why bother to mock me like this? What if I am looking forward to it? The prince will not appear here at all."
"Yes, you clearly know that the prince will not show up, but you still look forward to his coming. Is he really that good?" Nangong Ye approached, the anger in his eyes difficult to suppress, "He is so good, so good that you despise you in every way and only have him wholeheartedly, so good that he has another woman in his heart now and you still won't let go!"
With every word Nangong Ye said, Yan Yiming's face turned paler, as if irritated by Nangong Ye's aggressive attitude. The calmness she tried her best to maintain began to crack inch by inch.
She raised her head and glared at Nangong Ye angrily, then stood up suddenly and said angrily, "No matter what he does, it has nothing to do with me. If Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will take my leave..."
Nangong Ye felt anger rushing to his head, and he stood up and grabbed the man back, saying angrily, "Are you angry because I said it right? A year ago, your father and mother personally mentioned your marriage and he didn't marry you. Now that he has Jian Yuer, he will not marry you. Do you know your status? You are the eldest daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. Even if you become the queen mother in the future, you can still bear it. But now, do you want to wait for the prince to marry Jian Yuer before being carried into the East Palace as a concubine?"
"Let me go," Yan Yiming tried to break free without much effort, but Nangong Ye held him even tighter.
Her cheek was so close to him, so close that he could almost smell the light fragrance on her body. Nangong Ye moved the hand that was holding her wrist slightly upwards and held her hand. His anger was finally suppressed a little and he said in a deep voice,
"Even if you really want to, your grandfather won't agree, because the Duke Dingguo's Mansion can't afford to lose face like this. Ah Ming, you and the prince will have no future. He doesn't like you anymore, but there are others who will. I can accompany you to see every peach blossom in Fuyu Mountain and help you pick every pearl. I won't let you be so sad. Please look back at me, okay?"
Yan Yiming stood there in a daze. She stared at Nangong Ye blankly, as if she was shocked by his words and couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Nangong Ye's heart softened. He gently lifted her face and wiped away the tears with his thumb. "You don't know how long I have liked you."
Yan Yiming looked up at him steadily, tears streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably, but suddenly Yan Yiming stepped back a few steps, wiped the tears from his face and shook his head, "This is not possible."
"Why?" Nangong Ye couldn't help but feel hurt, he clearly saw the hesitation in her eyes.
"Because it's not fair to you."
Yan Yiming said, "Your Highness, I can be with anyone, but that person will never be you. Listen to me. It's not that you are not good, but that you two are too similar."
"Isn't this good? I thought you would like it."
"But you won't like it," Yan Yiming said, "You two are too similar. Whenever I see you, I will think of him. You won't like me looking at you but thinking of someone else."
It took Nangong Ye a while to understand what Yan Yiming meant. He laughed and said, "As long as I am willing, there will be no unfairness. I believe that one day, even if I see his face, I will only think of my name."
