Chapter 265: The Lady of the Marquisate vs. the Younger Prince
Ji Yunhuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "The Third Prince is of noble status, this is unreasonable."
Jing Yu's face darkened instantly. "Sister Huan is married now. Have you forgotten all about our friendship when we were young? You clearly promised to help me all the time. You said that as long as I beat my second brother in the year-end assessment, you would give me any reward I asked for."
"Now I am better than my second brother in everything. Even my father praises me for my knowledge, but you refuse to see me anymore! You still call me the Third Prince. You are so distant to me. Sister Huan, do you hate me so much?"
This emotion had been suppressed for too long. Jing Yu almost roared as he questioned Ji Yunhuan. His eyes were slightly red and he looked like he was about to cry.
Ji Yunhuan looked embarrassed. She had indeed said such words. At that time, the Third Prince was particularly attached to her and listened to her. She was entrusted by the eldest prince to try every means to coax the Third Prince to study. She remembered that the reward the Third Prince wanted in the end was a hug from her.
They were still young at that time, so it was fine for them to hug him, but now the Third Prince has grown up, why is he still acting like a child?
"It's not that I hate Your Highness, but there is a difference between men and women, and between different social statuses. I can't be as rude as I was when I was a child."
Jing Yu raised his eyes to look at Ji Yunhuan, the affection in his eyes almost overflowing, "I don't care, I just want you to treat me like before!"
"Sister Huan, please don't abandon me, okay? You can treat me as your brother, your apprentice, your friend, or anything else. If you ignore me, I will definitely be outdone by my second brother."
Ji Yunhuan recalled things from his previous life.
She was trapped in the Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion and was oppressed by the old lady and a concubine. In the final analysis, it was because Liang Wanzhou didn't care about her and allowed the concubine to bully her.
She was caught up in the inner house strife and used all means to finally drive Wan Niang away. Just when she was finally relieved, she heard the news that Jing Yu was disliked by the emperor, and even the queen was neglected.
When Jing Yu lost power, the second prince came to the fore. After that, the second prince made rapid progress and eventually ascended the throne.
In Jing State, the eldest son is respected. If there is no eldest son, the legitimate son will be enthroned instead of the eldest son.
Ji Yunhuan's father is the Prime Minister of the dynasty. He is an upright person and never gets involved in the fight for the throne. But she knows that her father is definitely biased towards Jing Yu. The Second Prince naturally cannot tolerate Prime Minister Ji or the Ji family.
Ji Yunhuan's mind moved, and a translucent panel appeared in front of her eyes. She found the mind-reading skill.
Mind-reading skills can be transferred to other people for use, but the effectiveness will be compromised, and physical contact is required to give it away.
Ji Yunhuan raised her hands and hugged Jing Yu. She stood on tiptoe and touched the back of Jing Yu's head like she did when they were children.
"You've grown up, why are you still making trouble like a kid? You are a prince, and there are many people around you who can give you advice and suggestions. Why do you need me to help you? This is just this once, and you are not allowed to make trouble again in the future."
A golden light penetrated into Jing Yu's forehead, and no one could see it except Ji Yunhuan.
Jing Yu lowered his head and rested it on Ji Yunhuan's shoulder. He smelled the familiar scent of Ji Yunhuan and her thin shoulder blades pressed against his face. He found that Sister Huan had lost weight again. She was much thinner than when she got married.
Sister Huan thought they had not seen each other for two or three years, but in fact he had secretly visited Sister Huan many times.
On the day of his wedding, he watched a sedan chair being carried in from the side door of the mansion, and at that moment he wanted to kill Liang Wanzhou.
"It's different. They are just counselors, but you are my teacher, my sister, my confidant, and the most...important person in my life. Without you pushing me, how could I have won over my second brother?"
Jing Yu added in his heart, He is also the person I love the most.
Ji Yunhuan let go of Jing Yu and smiled helplessly, "Why are you still like a child? You have to be urged and coaxed by others before you are willing to make progress. If you want to see me in the future, come to the Princess's Mansion. As for the Xuanwu Marquis' Mansion..."
Ji Yunhuan paused for a moment, revealing a dejected look, "I am already married, it is not appropriate for me to meet a man outside of my family in the Marquis's mansion."
Jing Yu's arms suddenly felt empty. He was jealous to the point of going crazy when he thought about how that bastard Liang Wanzhou could be with Sister Huan every day, and that bastard could even hug and kiss Sister Huan!
"If you don't like Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, I can find a way to take you in..."
The princess' heart skipped a beat. She pulled Jing Yu hard and whispered, "Yu'er, stop talking!"
If Jingyu continues to say this, it will no longer be covered up by the friendship of youth, or the friendship between master and disciple. If Huan'er knew Jingyu's thoughts, given Huan'er's upbringing and temperament, I'm afraid she will never see Jingyu again.
How should Huan'er deal with herself in the future? Will there be some rumors in the capital? Huan'er's life in the Marquis' Mansion will only become more difficult. Even for Huan'er, she can't let Jing Yu break this window paper.
Jing Yu's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air and fell down dejectedly. He clenched his fist, lowered his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I know, Sister Huan, I won't make things difficult for you."
Shiqin stood by and didn't dare to breathe.
It turned out that the Third Prince actually had such thoughts about his wife. Her heart was pounding, and she felt both relieved and scared.
If this matter were to get out, it would be nothing more than a youthful romance for the Third Prince, but it would be a disaster for his wife who is already a married woman.
Shiqin carefully observed the lady's expression. The lady's face looked normal, and she looked at the third prince with calm eyes, as if she was not aware of the third prince's thoughts.
Ji Yunhuan smiled faintly and said, "It's good that your Highness the Third Prince understands. You should not behave like this in public. You are the legitimate son of the Empress. You should stop acting like a child. You should be self-disciplined, polite, intelligent and studious so that the court officials will trust you more."
Jing Yu nodded obediently, "As long as Sister Huan says it, I will listen to it."
The princess heaved a sigh of relief and didn't dare to let Jing Yu continue to pester her. She pointed at the painting on the table and said with a smile: "Huan'er, ignore him. The more you pay attention to him, the more excited he becomes. Come and take a look at my painting."
Ji Yunhuan walked around the table, carefully appreciating it, and praised with a smile:
"This summer landscape painting is very well done, free and unrestrained, and has a great style. If a meticulous painting is too realistic, it will lose its interest. The eldest princess's painting is very lively, with mountains, water, and mandarin ducks. The artistic conception is profound and unforgettable."
The princess burst into laughter. "Huan'er is indeed a good judge of taste. Jingyu, this idiot, doesn't know how to appreciate my writing at all."
Jing Yu calmed down and came over to say, "It's obviously not like what you drew."
Ji Yunhuan smiled and turned to look at Jing Yu, her gentle breath falling on Jing Yu's face.
"Your Highness is wrong. The eldest princess is just expressing her feelings. It can only be understood but not expressed in words."
After Ji Yunhuan finished speaking, he bent down, picked up a slender paintbrush, dipped it in a few drops of red paint, and began to paint carefully.
Jing Yu froze in place, his breathing rapid and his hands and feet numb.
He knew that Sister Huan was a well-behaved and reserved person, and that she definitely didn't do it on purpose, but he couldn't help but be moved again and again, falling deeper and deeper in love, unable to extricate himself!
