This long-awaited meeting was not as smooth as Nangong Xuan had imagined.
He thought he could win back Yan Yiming today, but he didn't expect Yan Yiming to say such a thing.
I finally believed that the person Yan Yiming really thought of was me, but now I began to feel uncertain again. However, I still had a faint expectation in my heart, because Yan Yiming said, "It was His Highness who betrayed me at the beginning, but the Fifth Prince did not. He treated me wholeheartedly, and I will not let him down."
This answer puzzled Nangong Xuan. What kind of feelings did Yan Yiming have for Nangong Ye? Do you really like him or do you just want to not let him down?
But no matter what, Yan Yiming rejected him because of Nangong Ye.
This thought made Nangong Xuan extremely uncomfortable. He was angry that someone had snatched Yan Yiming away, but he was also angry at why this person was his own younger brother. If it was someone else, if it was the third emperor's younger brother, he could have directly asked his father to grant him Yan Yiming in marriage, but this person was his own younger brother.
But as he said, the Queen would never agree to Yan Yiming marrying Nangong Ye. As for his father, if he did not agree, his father would never agree either. So it was just a fantasy for Nangong Ye to marry Yan Yiming.
Since this was the case, Nangong Xuan gradually began to think.
At this time, in the Mansion of Duke Dingguo, Old Lady Yan and others returned to the mansion and heard Madam Yan excitedly say that the prince had personally picked up Yan Yiming to go to the palace, and they were shocked.
Mrs. Yan is simple-minded and doesn't think much, but Old Lady Yan is not like that. She only needs to think about it to know that this is clearly the prince's intention.
They knew very well that the prince disliked Yan Yiming, and the prince must have known about the affair between Ah Ming and the fifth prince.
What is the prince doing?
In a hurry, she asked Yan Yiming about his attitude. Mrs. Yan recalled, "A Ming didn't say much and followed him."
Old Lady Yang's expression suddenly changed. She didn't believe that Yan Yiming couldn't see it, but even so, she still followed the prince. Could it be that she was still thinking about the prince in her heart? She should have thought of it earlier. How can feelings be given up so easily?
He hurriedly ordered people to go look for Yan Yiming, but he ran into Yan Yiming who had just returned as soon as he stepped out of the door. Seeing Old Lady Yan, Yan Yiming smiled and said, "Grandma, you're back."
Old Lady Yan carefully looked at Yan Yiming's expression, waved her hand and asked the people around her to go down and call Yan Yiming over, and asked why the prince was looking for her.
Yan Yiming did not hide anything and conveyed Nangong Xuan's words in detail to Old Lady Yan. After listening to her, Old Lady Yan fell into deep thought.
He had not expected that the prince would change his mind and promise Yan Yiming the position of crown princess.
But even so, Old Lady Yan did not change her mind about betrothing Yan Yiming to Nangong Ye. The Yan family was upright and since they had promised the Fifth Prince, they would not send Yan Yiming to the East Palace for power.
However, it now sounds like the Queen is not optimistic about the relationship between Yan Yiming and Nangong Ye. She dared to ask His Majesty for an explanation for her granddaughter, but now it seems impossible. After all, no one expected that the Prince would change his mind. Even if she went to meet His Majesty, if the Crown Prince said that he would marry A Ming, His Majesty would definitely marry A Ming to the Crown Prince instead of the Fifth Prince.
It just so happened that the fifth prince was not in the capital, making the matter even more difficult.
After returning to her own courtyard, Lu Mei carefully asked Prince Yan Yiming if he had bullied her.
Yan Yiming smiled and patted Lu Mei's head, saying, "Of course not."
Now that Nangong Xuan's favorability has risen to 70%, how could he bully her? But it becomes a problem again when it reaches 70.
Obviously, blindly negative stimulation has no effect. Nangong Xuan's good feelings caused by jealousy have reached saturation, so after being slapped too many times, it is time to give him some candy.
But he had to ensure that Nangong Xuantang was given to eat, and he also had to keep Nangong Ye's good impression of him. Yan Yiming pounded his head on the pillow, and after a long time he sighed softly.
Going bald.
One month after Nangong Ye left Beijing, the Queen's birthday arrived. All those who were of the second rank and above were allowed to bring their legitimate daughters into the palace to celebrate the birthday. Yan Yiming was among them, and of course Jian Yuer was also there.
Because of Yan Yiming's existence, Jian Yuer's emotional strategy is now very different from the original game. For example, in the game, Jian Yuer and Nangong Xuan should have been in love with each other during this month, but now they are quite cold. At first it was Nangong Xuan who took the initiative, but now it is Jian Yuer who is more proactive.
According to records, Jian Yuer had been to the East Palace once, but because of her introverted personality, she never asked Nangong Xuan why he didn't go to see her. Nangong Xuan's EQ is only 22, and he can't see Jian Yuer's intentions at all. He inexplicably tells Jian Yuer that he is not doing her justice.
Jian Yuer stood there in a daze, wondering why she was sorry. Is it the recent coldness, or is it about the future?
Jian Yuer's heart gradually grew cold. Jian Yuyan was angry because he knew that Jian Yuer had gone to the Eastern Palace without telling him. But when he turned around, he found that Jian Yuer's face was grim and she had already thought about it. I felt sorry for Jian Yuer's sadness, but I was also happy that they would have nothing to do with each other anymore.
After that, Nangong Xuan and Jian Yuer had no more contact.
Nangong Ye did not make it back to the capital on the day of the Queen's birthday. I heard that Nangong Ye went to Fujian and Zhejiang, and the trip was not smooth, so the day he returned to the capital was even longer than previously predicted.
On that day, Yan Yiming entered the palace early with Old Lady Yan and Madam Yan. As a recent celebrity, Yan Yiming received attention from all sides.
Xiaopingguo deliberately reminded Yan Yiming, "Everyone is looking at you."
Yan Yiming picked up a strand of hair and sighed, "It must be because I was born too beautiful. What a sin."
Little Apple: ...
When Yan Yiming and Old Lady Yan went to pay respects to the Queen, he could feel the Queen's gaze on him, probing and yet seemingly kind. She called Yan Yiming over as if she knew nothing, and after a careful look, she smiled and said to the people around her,
"She is indeed the most beautiful lady in our capital. I haven't seen her for a long time, but she has become more and more beautiful."
Whether it was his potential in appearance or in work, Yan Yiming could not fail to hear the thorn in the Queen's words. Yan Yiming smiled sweetly, pretended to be stupid, and said thank you Queen for the compliment, then stood aside obediently.
The queen was slightly surprised, thinking that Yan Yiming had indeed changed a lot recently. However, she also thought that he might be pretending because of Ye'er's incident, and she disliked Yan Yiming even more.
After the greetings, and after talking to Old Lady Yan and others who had been kept by the Queen, Yan Yiming, his younger sister and other young ladies went to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the flowers.
After all, Yan Yiming was the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo and had a prominent status, so most people greeted her with a smile wherever she went. Little Apple was like a radar, whispering in Yan Yiming's ear.
"The girl in green on the left said to the host, you are useless except for your face, and the girl in red on the right said to the host, how dare you show up here? Oh, there is nothing new." Little Apple couldn't help but sigh, "The women in ancient times were too reserved and boring. The look in that lady's eyes clearly wanted to call you a shameless vixen."
Yan Yiming cursed with a smile, his eyes falling on the women who were talking to Jian Yuer in the distance.
In the original game, Miss Yan hated Jian Yuer because Nangong Xuan fell in love with Jian Yuer and targeted her everywhere. At today's birthday party, she even took the lead in mocking Jian Yuer for seducing the prince. She was clearly shameless but insisted on pretending to be pure.
Jian Yuer had always wanted to restore her friendship with Miss Yan. She was sad and angry when she heard this. She then had an argument with Miss Yan, and after a few pushes, Jian Yuer fell into the lake next to them.
As for why the lake suddenly appeared, it might be a brilliant plan, but it was because of this fall into the water that the prince personally came to the rescue. From then on, Jian Yuer completely stepped on Miss Yan's face and became the queen. The prince slapped Miss Yan hard with actual actions, and when he left, Miss Yan was thrown to the ground and burst into tears.
Of course this is a game.
Now she is no longer that villainous girl, but according to the progress of the game, Yan Yiming made a bold guess. Even if I hadn't taken the lead today, Jian Yuer would have fallen into the water.
As expected, even if Yan Yiming didn't say it, some people still knew about Jian Yuer and the prince.
Most people tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. Jian Yuer and Yan Yiming are of similar status, but Yan Yiming has a hot temper and will never let go of any flaws, so most people don't dare to provoke her. But Jian Yuer was weak in character, and even though she had a prominent status, some people dared to tell her what to do. Moreover, there were more noble ladies with prominent status in Jinling than just the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jian Yuer has known about the affair between Yan Yiming and the Fifth Prince recently. Everyone says that Yan Yiming is shameless. Jian Yuer feels very guilty after hearing this. If it weren't for her, Yan Yiming would not have ended up like this.
Just now someone happened to say something bad about Yan Yiming, and Jian Yuer retorted, but she didn't expect that the woman's next words would make her face pale.
That person was the granddaughter of the current Grand Tutor, whose status was no lower than Jian Yuer's. She sneered and whispered to Jian Yuer, "If someone else said so, it would be fine, but Miss Jian, how could you say such a thing?"
When everyone was confused, the young lady mocked, "If it weren't for you, the Crown Prince, how could you abandon Sister Yan and how could the rumors about Sister Yan and the Fifth Prince spread?"
There was an uproar all around, followed by a mixture of sarcasm and ridicule.
"No wonder Miss Jian and Miss Yan were as close as sisters back then, but now they don't even say a word to each other."
"Miss Jian, why are you like this? You are the bad guy, but now you want to be a good guy. I don't think Miss Yan will appreciate your kindness."
After being ridiculed several times, Jian Yuer was already panicked. She had never thought that other people would know about this. Who told them? Was it... Yan Yiming?
When she was at a loss, a bright red came into her sight. Yan Yiming stepped forward and blocked her behind him, with a smile on his lips and a clear voice, "What are you sisters talking about? You are talking so affectionately, why not tell me."
Jian Yuer raised her head and looked at Yan Yiming in an instant, almost shedding tears in anxiety.
Everyone present could not believe that Yan Yiming was still protecting Jian Yuer. Jian Yuer hesitated for a moment and then grabbed Yan Yiming's sleeve. The woman just now stared at Yan Yiming in disbelief and said angrily,
"Yan Yiming, are you stupid?"
When the Crown Prince and several other princes arrived at the Imperial Garden, they saw the crowd from afar and asked casually what happened. The little palace maid trembled and said, "It seems... Miss Yan from Dingguo Mansion and Miss Yang from Taishi Mansion had a conflict..."
Nangong Xuan's expression changed slightly and he hurried over.
He walked forward quickly, and just as he got closer, a sharp female voice happened to shout Yan Yiming's name, "You are just a toy that His Highness doesn't want. What qualifications do you have to act so arrogantly here? And you, you always protect her, but you know she hates you..."
Nangong Xuan's heart tightened. The people around him heard the footsteps, turned around and saw the person coming, and they were all frightened and exclaimed "Your Highness".
Miss Yang, Jian Yuer and others turned around in a hurry, but someone screamed. Jian Yuer didn't know whether she slipped or something else, and she fell into the lake behind her.
At this moment, Yan Yiming, who was standing beside her, suddenly reached out and threw her back, but he lost his balance in an instant and fell straight into the water. There was a sound of gasps all around. As Yan Yiming fell into the water, he asked Xiao Pingguo under his breath, "How much reward can I get for saving Jian Yuer this time?"
"This is really a big profit," Little Apple said excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, his body was pulled over by a strong hand.
Under everyone's surprised and incredible gazes, the prince jumped into the water almost instantly and then pulled the person out.
The surroundings were silent for a moment before they exploded, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"
