Upon hearing this, the crown prince reached out to slap the man. He knew perfectly well that the person before him had no special status. What right did someone like him have to provoke him?
However, a slender hand grabbed his wrist. Qi Yaojin shook off his hand.
Qi Yaojin was a princess who was pampered by the emperor and empress from a young age, and she had her own pride since childhood. However, she was repeatedly thwarted by her own brother.
Now that her brother is going to lay a hand on the person he loves most, then she shouldn't blame her for disowning him: "Qi Yaoqin, I don't care how you treat me normally, but try touching him and see what happens."
Qi Yaojin glanced at the Crown Prince with her deep eyes. Her expression was not good; it was serious, something the Crown Prince had never seen before.
"Hmph!" Qi Yaojin snorted coldly, shook off his hand, and pulled Fu Ziyan away from the place.
The crown prince stood there dumbfounded, looking at Qi Yaojin who showed no remorse. He couldn't understand why the people who had tried to please him in the past had all left him in the end.
He didn't understand how Mu Qiluan, a mere general, could wield such power, causing all those who fawned over him to leave.
Evening Song, those ministers, and even her own younger sister were all like that.
…
Fu Ziyan led Qi Yaojin to one of the inns owned by his family. When they entered the private room, Fu Ziyan asked her about the Crown Prince: "Just now, you called him Imperial Brother?"
"Your Majesty, that's not a title to be used casually, so who is this person before you?"
Fu Ziyan always thought that the other party was a lady from a prominent family, so she had a particularly good temperament, and never thought that she might have another identity.
Qi Yaojin coughed lightly, her face flushed as she looked at the person in front of her: "Yes, that was my elder brother, the Crown Prince. I am Father's youngest daughter."
Fu Ziyan pondered for a moment upon hearing this: "Princess Yunqing?"
Qi Yaojin nodded gently; indeed, everyone called her Princess Yunqing.
Fu Ziyan suddenly realized that the other party had never intended to deceive him in the first place. She had told him that her name was Qi Yaojin, and that Qi was originally the imperial surname, which he had never realized before.
So when he wanted to ask her out, she never told him where her home was. He thought it was because she felt he wasn't sincere enough, which explained why she encouraged him to take the imperial examinations.
"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I'm afraid you'll be scared." He didn't pursue fame or fortune, and he told himself that he was a princess, afraid that he would scare the princess away.
So he only vaguely told him his name, but unexpectedly, this fool didn't think of himself as being with the princess at all.
Fu Ziyan looked at the smiling woman before him and asked, "If I pass the imperial examination, will you agree to marry me?"
Qi Yaojin nodded. Actually, she didn't care whether he passed the imperial examination or not. It was just that if he didn't hold any official position, her father would not agree to their marriage.
"Alright, the imperial examinations will be held soon, and I will sign up to participate." He would definitely go for the sake of his beloved.
Qi Yaojin was overjoyed and gave him a kiss on the cheek before going home. To be honest, although she was usually quite bold, this was the first time she had done something like this, and she was still inexplicably shy. After cleaning up, she immediately ran away.
Fu Ziyan stood on the bank and gently stroked his cheek, a smile involuntarily curving his lips.
