Yu Nanqing had no choice but to keep following her around.
He didn't really care whether the game was fun or not; he just wanted to keep her company.
Su Wanyan held the customs clearance form with some regret: "It's not completely stamped, so it doesn't feel quite perfect."
"If Yan'er likes it, have them send the document to the Prince's mansion tomorrow."
Su Wanyan pouted: "Then what's the point?"
"..." Yu Nanqing silently pursed her lips.
"Pfft." Su Wanyan suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
Yu Nanqing asked curiously, "What is Yan'er laughing at?"
"Thinking back to the answers you submitted, it was also a blank sheet of paper. Now that I think about it, it really is a kind of perfect match."
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing's heart stirred slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked at her intently: "Why didn't Yan'er write anything?"
“There are too many to write down, and besides…” Su Wanyan swung her toes from side to side, “I don’t really want others to know.”
She didn't want others to know what Yu Nanqing liked to eat or wear, nor did she want others to know what Yu Nanqing did on a daily basis.
Today's celebration is officially organized, and what she wrote may very well be used as a reference in the near future.
It was also partly her selfish desire to prevent him from being coveted by others.
Yu Nanqing's eyes brightened slightly as he gently took her small hand in his, the warmth of their hands lingering in each other's eyes: "Me too..."
"I don't want others to know Yan'er's preferences either."
He wished he could hide her away completely, so he wouldn't have to hang strings of symbols of their relationship on himself to assert his ownership.
"Let's do it again next year on Qixi Festival?" Su Wanyan looked up, smiling sweetly.
"Mm." Their eyes met, and Yu Nanqing's lips curled up: "Okay."
On the other side, Lu Chao, who had just emerged from the maze, looked left and right, but Yu Nanqing did not appear for a long time.
Not only did Yu Nanqing and Su Wanyan not appear at the exit, but Fu Shao and Mu Jin, who came with them, were also nowhere to be seen.
Seeing her absent-minded appearance, the young master of the Yan family who was with her also bid her farewell early.
Lu Chao felt a surge of frustration, but there was nothing he could do, as the maze originally had four entrances and exits.
Well, at least I've shown my face to Yu Nanqing today. Haste makes waste, there's plenty of time.
She was left all alone, and she lost interest in the celebration. Lu Chao sighed and returned to the Lu residence early.
The next day, early in the morning.
Prince Gong's Mansion.
"What?" Su Wanyan's voice was filled with surprise: "You've stamped all the seals?"
She looked at Qiuye and Huangye with surprise and envy.
Qiu Ye's face beamed with pride: "Yes!"
Then it dawned on her, and she was stunned: "Your Majesty hasn't finished the challenge?"
She then added, "This servant and Huang Ye have finished covering it up."
"So... how did you guys pass the two-person challenge?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Qiuye's face instantly turned red: "Well... I just happened to run into someone, and I didn't have anyone with me, so..."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan's eyes widened in surprise: "What? What?"
My gossipy nature was instantly ignited.
"Oh, Your Majesty! Please don't ask anymore. Anyway, Huang Ye and I have passed all the checkpoints."
"..." Qiu Ye was unwilling to speak, but Su Wanyan was not about to let it go, so she looked at Huang Ye.
Huang Ye remained calm: "I just found two people to accompany me temporarily. When Qiu Ye and I went there, a couple came out from inside. We saw that they had won a lot of copper coins and were tempted."
Su Wanyan looked at Huang Ye suspiciously: "Is it really that simple?"
She didn't believe it.
This isn't some modern place where love is free. In this feudal ancient world, how could such a small amount of copper coins allow them to team up with a strange man?
They work under her, why would they need a pittance?
The strict separation of men and women can be put aside for now. If others find out and spread rumors with exaggerated embellishments, Qiuye and Huangye will be unable to explain themselves even if they jump into the Yellow River.
Su Wanyan may not care, but Qiu Ye and Huang Ye cannot afford to ignore this matter.
Under Su Wanyan's unwavering gaze, Huang Ye blushed slightly and became somewhat uneasy.
Su Wanyan pressed, "What exactly happened? Tell me the truth."
Qiu Ye and Huang Ye still dared not hide it: "Actually, it's about Zhang Da and Sanbao in the manor..."
"..." Da Zhang and San Bao were servants who worked for Steward You and Steward Qin in the Prince's Mansion.
Prince Gong's Mansion is very large and has many departments. When he was in the capital, he hired four stewards. When he came to Fucheng, he left one of the stewards in the capital and the other three came with him.
However, Butler You and Butler Qin were newly hired after arriving in Fucheng, and each of them brought their own apprentices with them.
The stewards wielded great power; they were less hired and more gifts exchanged between aristocratic families.
Wang Zhang personally handled all the hiring matters. Knowing that Prince Gong's Mansion was short of stewards, the Fucheng family tried to find ways to curry favor with the mansion.
The stewards of the Prince's Mansion must be selected from among the best. Many aristocratic families send their own trained stewards over. Steward You and Steward Qin were the last two stewards selected by Wang Zhang after comparing and selecting them.
The two stewards were quite diligent in their work in the mansion and never made any mistakes.
Su Wanyan was speechless: "Then why don't you just say it directly? Why do you have to be so secretive and even learn to make up lies to deceive me?"
If they are people from your own household, you don't need to worry too much. You see each other all the time when you work together, so you're quite familiar with each other.
Qiu Ye and Huang Ye's hearts jumped, and they quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please forgive us. We did not lie to Your Majesty, but... but... it's very embarrassing."
Yesterday was Qixi Festival, and those who weren't on duty all went to celebrate.
Qiu Ye and Huang Ye were about to give up on playing the maze when they happened to run into Da Zhang and San Bao. They also happened to see people inside winning money and coming out, so they were all tempted.
Qiuye and the others got along well with everyone else in the manor, and they helped each other with whatever they needed. After discussing it, they thought it was a good idea and went in together.
And this matter... it was indeed private, and since the group didn't have any particular intentions, they naturally wanted to keep it a secret.
They couldn't just openly proclaim in the mansion that even if they didn't get married, Zhang and Sanbao would still get married in the future.
Su Wanyan rubbed her forehead: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have asked. I was too talkative."
Both Qiu Ye and Huang Ye know their limits; it's she who's meddling.
Qiu Ye quickly shook her head: "No, no, Your Highness was just worried about us. It was my fault. I will never hide it from Your Highness again."
"Stop talking, get up, stop kneeling."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
However, Su Wanyan was still curious: "You two really have no interest in her?"
Qiu Ye shook her head repeatedly: "No, no! Absolutely not!"
Su Wanyan looked at Huang Ye, who also shook her head repeatedly: "This servant doesn't have any either."
They were just good buddies.
"Then why were you blushing just now?"
"...This servant is ashamed." Qiu Ye lowered her head, looking dejected.
