He froze, his handsome, thin lips slightly parted, but he couldn't utter a single word no matter how many times he opened and closed them.
He really didn't know how to answer Su Wanyan's question, or rather, he never expected Su Wanyan to ask such a question.
"What? Are you embarrassed to say it?" Su Wanyan looked at him.
Yu Nanqing opened her mouth, and her ears immediately turned a light red.
"Hey, what are you afraid of? I've seen you in every kind of state, from the most disheveled to the most embarrassing. What's a little more?"
"..." It was precisely because she had seen his worst side.
That's why he wanted to always present himself in the most perfect way in front of her.
If he could, he would want to erase those miserable days completely.
"You know what I mean, the more you act like this, the more curious I get, you know?" Su Wanyan leaned closer: "Do you even fart? I don't think I've ever smelled anything on you before..."
"Yan'er!" Yu Nanqing was speechless. He raised his hand to cover her entire face, her face flushed red as she turned her head away, her eyes lowered: "Don't ask anymore."
"Why?" Su Wanyan pushed his hand away: "It's normal for me to be curious, isn't it?"
"Why would you be curious about these things?" Yu Nanqing frowned helplessly, pursing his thin lips as he looked at her, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face.
"Just be curious, there's no reason why."
"If someone asked you these questions, would you answer them?" Yu Nanqing countered.
"That depends on who it is." Su Wanyan grinned. "If you want to know, I'll tell you."
“…” Yu Nanqing turned her face away: “I won’t ask.”
"What? You're disgusted with me?" Su Wanyan glared at him speechlessly, then reached out and turned his face towards her. "I haven't even complained about you, and you're complaining about me?"
"I didn't!" Yu Nanqing frowned slightly and took the hand that was messing with his face.
He didn't want to answer that kind of question, which is why he didn't think of asking Su Wanyan.
If Su Wanyan speaks, then he will definitely have to answer.
He still wanted to maintain some dignity in front of Su Wanyan.
"If you're so hesitant to say, then it must be true." Su Wanyan smiled with narrowed eyes, "That's true, you're human after all, how could you not say something?"
"..." Yu Nanqing blushed and quickly explained, "No!"
Su Wanyan asked in surprise, "What? No?"
"..." Yu Nanqing raised her hand and helplessly covered her bright red face: "No..."
"How could there not be?"
"...How do I know?" There is no answer.
Is it real or a lie?
“…” Yu Nanqing raised her eyes: “I would never lie to you, not about anything.”
Even for such an embarrassing little thing, he never thought of lying.
"Have you ever had diarrhea?"
"..."
This made Yu Nanqing think of the days when Su Wanyan took care of him; the past was too painful to recall, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He covered his face, then bent down and buried his head in Su Wanyan's neck: "Yan'er, please, don't ask anymore."
If he were to ask any more questions, he would be so ashamed that he would die.
"Alright, alright." Seeing him like this, Su Wanyan had no choice but to stop. She raised her hand and touched his back. "I won't ask. You really are something. What's our relationship? We've met so many times before. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
After saying that, he added, "Besides, it's just the two of us here, no one else knows."
"..."
Su Wanyan laughed and said, "Why don't you ask me? If you ask me, I'll definitely answer, and maybe I can even turn the tables and make me feel embarrassed, then I won't keep asking you."
"..." That's impossible.
Not to mention that Su Wanyan was much more straightforward than him, he also didn't want to put her in any difficult position.
Under the marriage tree, Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing chatted casually.
Of course, most of the time Su Wanyan did the talking and Yu Nanqing listened, and Su Wanyan always liked to ask strange questions, leaving Yu Nanqing speechless.
A gentle breeze swept by, causing their clothes to overlap and intertwine. Yu Nanqing held Su Wanyan's hand, feeling that every move, every smile of the woman before him was like a painting, so beautiful that he forgot all the pain he had suffered in the past.
The mountains are cool and quiet, and at night, only the crisp chirping of insects can be heard.
Perhaps because she was tired during the day, Su Wanyan slept very soundly at night.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Su Wanyan was still asleep when she was awakened by a loud sound of martial arts practice.
It wouldn't be accurate to call it noisy. At first, the sounds were so uniform and clear, as if they came from beyond the heavens. Su Wanyan thought it sounded nice, so she perked up her ears in her sleep.
He only fully regained his senses when he heard the sound of martial arts monks practicing in the temple.
When Su Wanyan woke up, she reached out and found the bed empty, but the blankets were still warm.
She threw back the covers and got up: "Autumn leaves, yellow leaves."
Qiu Ye and Huang Ye had already prepared hot water for washing and were waiting outside. Upon hearing Su Wanyan's call, they immediately went into the room.
"Your Majesty, you're awake?"
Su Wanyan looked up: "Where is Yu Nanqing?"
"The prince is practicing martial arts with Guard Tian in the front yard," Qiu Ye said, handing him a glass of sandalwood.
Su Wanyan was slightly taken aback. Yu Nanqing could also practice martial arts?
She's never seen it before.
Without even bothering to wash up, he got out of bed and headed straight for the front yard.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, a gust of wind rushed towards them. In the blink of an eye, Yu Nanqing and Tanaka had already exchanged several blows, the blades flashing and the surrounding fallen leaves scattered in disarray.
Because the dormitory was small, Su Wanyan could sense that neither Yu Nanqing nor Tanaka were using their full strength.
When Xiao Bu saw Su Wanyan come out, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty."
"I have never seen Yu Nanqing practice martial arts. I have only seen him kill people with a knife."
He hadn't really met her; he deliberately avoided her.
Xiao Bu smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't practice much these days. In the past, we used to practice every morning in the army. Speaking of which, Your Highness has been paralyzed for three years, and your martial arts skills have become quite rusty."
Su Wanyan asked in surprise, "Is this still unfamiliar?"
"Of course, martial arts training is a matter of perseverance. For someone like Your Highness to remain unchanged for three years without progress is already excellent."
As they were speaking, Yu Nanqing caught a glimpse of that petite figure out of the corner of his eye. He quickly sheathed his sword and took a few steps to Su Wanyan's side, his eyes filled with excitement: "Yan'er! You're awake?"
Su Wanyan looked closely and saw no sweat.
He looked completely refreshed.
She replied with a smile, "I haven't washed up yet."
"I'll stay with you."
"No need, I can manage on my own. I'm hungry, could you go and ask the little monk to get me some food?"
"It was all prepared long ago." Yu Nanqing pulled her into the room without saying a word, intending to help her wash up.
Today is Buddha's Birthday, and even though the mosque is usually quiet, many people still come to worship Buddha and offer incense.
The people gathered willow branches from all directions, dipped them in a stream of clear spring water from the release pond, and used them to bathe the Buddha statue, praying for a peaceful and prosperous life.
After offering incense, the people would go to the meditation room to listen to the Buddhist scriptures.
