Liu Buqi, who says one thing and means another
Half an hour later, Liu Buqi, who had calmed down, brought Yue Hanxin to the meeting room in the front yard.
Yue Lingxi, Gao Yi and Wang Changling had just finished discussing military training. After this winter, Youzhou would definitely attack Yehe, and most of the existing troops would be withdrawn, so Youzhou's defense would inevitably be weakened.
Therefore, it is imperative to recruit some veterans and train some new recruits!
The two people who were originally invited to stay for dinner stood up and said goodbye when they saw Liu Buqi and Yue Hanxin at the door. It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and they didn't want to get involved in this situation!
Of course, whether it was Gao Yi or Wang Changling, they still bowed to Liu Buqi and called her "Madam" as usual, but ignored Yue Hanxin!
When people grow old, they become demons. When the imperial princess enters Youzhou, she represents the Crown Prince Yue Chengqiu, who is the regent. Naturally, the subordinates of Prince Yan must know how to avoid suspicion!
Yue Hanxin waited until the foreign officials left, then gently shook off the support of her personal maid, took two quick steps forward, and knelt down on both knees to kowtow to Yue Lingxi, just like she had just done in front of the palace gate.
"Your Highness, I am honored to meet you!" Although this was not the first time they met, the situation was different now. Even if she had to face him in the most humble manner, Yue Hanxin still blushed because of the change in their identities!
The rosy crimson that extended to her neck made her exposed skin as round and smooth as jade. Her kneeling figure with her head bowed and her status as a favored daughter of heaven made her look even more lovable despite her shy tone.
But Yue Lingxi was not moved at all. He just turned around and asked Liu Buqi calmly, "Have you eaten?" No matter how Liu Buqi tried to signal, it was as if there was no Yue Hanxin in front of him!
And the dignified princess of the empire just knelt on the ground like this. Even her personal maid looked up in surprise and looked at the high and mighty Prince Yan!
It was not until Liu Buqi became extremely angry and glared at Yue Lingxi that he pinched her fiercely, that he simply waved his hand in the direction of Yue Hanxin.
Liu Buqi stood up and helped Yue Hanxin, who was kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face.
An old lady followed her from a distance and hurriedly came forward to bring two cups of hot tea. Yue Hanxin held up one of the cups with both hands, walked slowly to Yue Lingxi, knelt down again, raised the tea high above her head and handed it to her!
"Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do that!" Yue Hanxin's action was a tea-serving etiquette that was only required when a concubine entered the house!
Liu Buqi was about to stop him, but Yue Lingxi had already taken the tea and placed it aside casually. Although he took the tea, he didn't drink a sip!
Yue Hanxin stood up and walked back, then picked up another cup of tea and knelt before Liu Buqi to offer her the tea. Liu Buqi quickly stepped aside to avoid the princess's gift, waving her hands continuously, "Sister, hurry up!"
Yue Hanxin held up the teacup motionlessly, "Please take it in, Madam!"
One insisted on kneeling down to offer tea, while the other resolutely refused to accept it! Seeing the situation become deadlocked, the personal maid who had been kneeling beside the princess said terrifiedly:
"I beg Madam to accept the tea and give Her Royal Highness a chance to live!"
Liu Buqi suddenly realized that if she insisted on not taking the tea that a concubine had to kneel down to offer to her mistress, it would be equivalent to not letting Yue Hanxin enter the house, which would be tantamount to breaking off the marriage!
If Yue Lingxi rejected the marriage proposal in public, Princess Yixiang would only have her reputation damaged. But if a mistress like this refused to let her in, her reputation would be completely ruined!
The princess of the empire, offering tea as a concubine, was rejected. She was afraid she would die here! "Alas!" Liu Buqi could only take the teacup and drink up the tea in it!
Only then did Yue Hanxin finally enter the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion!
Although a princess's marriage should be grand and spectacular, judging by Yue Lingxi's attitude, I'm afraid there won't be any wedding ceremony at all!
Although the depression in his heart had not diminished at all, Liu Buqi now really felt a little sorry for Yue Hanxin!
…
After a long time of trouble, the three of them still hadn't eaten dinner. They asked the servants to bring the food, and Liu Buqi had to apologize to Yue Hanxin again.
"Well, um... Hanxin, the food in Youzhou is rough and simple, not as refined as in the capital. The prince and I are used to simple meals. If there's anything you're not used to, I'll ask Deshenglou to prepare some food that suits your taste!"
Yue Hanxin had already poured a bowl of soup for Yue Lingxi and Liu Buqi, and respectfully placed it in front of them. Upon hearing Liu Buqi's words, he quickly refused:
"Don't worry, Madam. I'm not a spoiled person. Since I've entered the mansion, I naturally have to follow the local customs. Everything will be normal!"
In just a cup of tea, Yue Lingxi had finished his meal and left first, leaving the two of them to eat alone in silence, both of them feeling bored.
After dinner, Liu Buqi sent Yue Hanxin back to the backyard. He went straight to Yue Lingxi's study, pushed the door open naturally, and saw him studying the terrain of Yehe!
"Alas! She is a poor creature, forced to come to Youzhou where she has no one to rely on! You should be nicer to her. After all, you are relatives, right?"
Liu Buqi already felt a little bit amused and helpless about herself! She clearly couldn't tolerate sharing her husband with others, but now she was advising her lover to be nicer to other women!
Apart from denouncing this evil old society with tears and blood, I have no other ideas and no other tricks to use!
Yue Lingxi, however, was somewhat dismissive. "Just let her stay in the palace. We'll provide her with good food and drink!"
Then he said seriously, "Buqi, what do you think the emperor's intention is? He knows that I am Yue Fan's son, and he knows that it was Gongsun Wuhui who assassinated Yue Beiqiu!"
"According to normal logic, he should have told Yue Chengqiu everything by now. But judging from Yue Hanxin's entry into Youzhou, the prince probably still doesn't know my identity, otherwise he would never have sent his own sister here!"
For some reason, Liu Buqi couldn't concentrate. Just like Bai Jinjing's reminder before, she didn't actually listen to Yue Lingxi's doubts at all!
She just mumbled a few words about Yue Hua probably still wanting to find an opportunity to make a comeback, which was obviously irrelevant. Seeing her like this, Yue Lingxi felt both angry and ridiculous!
What's infuriating is that this silly woman actually helped him welcome the woman who forced his father to commit suicide into his house! It seems that he really wants her to serve him! He even felt sympathy for Yue Hanxin!
The funny thing is, Liu Buqi clearly didn't want another woman to exist in this mansion! He even pretended to be magnanimous and tolerant, but now he has made himself distracted!
Forget it, I have to take action myself and dispel this silly woman’s wild thoughts!
Under Liu Buqi's astonished gaze, Yue Lingxi picked her up lightly, and without caring how many servants were outside, he carried her straight back to the bedroom in the courtyard where they lived!
Liu Buqi's fetal position is now stable, and she can do some big things!
