Chapter 84 Humble and Jealous
The new step-out bed has been moved in.
One wall is lined with incense cabinets filled with various incense powders collected from Kyoto, as well as dozens of exquisite incense-making tools.
The garden swing is also set up.
Yuntang sat on the swing and kicked his feet. The swing swayed slightly, bringing a comfortable breeze.
Whatever she wants, Xiao Jin will give her.
No more acting, no more crying, no more sleeping with him. Just open your mouth and Xiao Jin will give you everything.
So interesting!
Yuntang had a faint smile on his face, and his heart had never felt so comfortable.
She was still somewhat complacent and proud. The powerful, cruel and ruthless Regent, Xiao Jin, fell on her.
He still coveted and was obsessed with her body.
But now, he wants something more, that is her heart!
Yuntang couldn't help but wonder, to what extent would Xiao Jin go in order to win her heart?
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Jin returned from court.
Yuntang sat motionless on the swing, looking at Xiao Jin with indifferent eyes as he took steps towards her.
She was not asked to salute.
Xiao Jin leaned down, his phoenix eyes filled with tenderness, "Xiao Yu'er, are you going out? I will accompany you."
Going out?
"Okay." Yuntang agreed with a smile.
The carriage from the Prince Regent's Palace drove towards the West City.
Xiao Jin said he was accompanying her, as if he was really just going out for fun. They went to see a play, went shopping, and bought jewelry. If Yun Tang took a second look at anything, Xiao Jin would buy it without mercy!
Yuntang didn't care because it wasn't his own money being spent.
Shopping happily.
It was not until a secret guard quietly reported to Xiao Jin that Xiao Jin's expression darkened slightly and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Then he walked over, took Yuntang's hand, and said gently: "Xiao Yu'er, are you tired? Let's go to the teahouse and rest."
Yuntang noticed his interaction with the secret guard, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and nodded in agreement.
Went to the teahouse.
Xiao Jin ordered some refreshments and left the place on the pretext of something, taking the guards with him. Only Qinglan and the other three remained to serve him.
Yuntang looked suspicious.
What is Xiao Jin planning?
But soon! Yuntang knew the answer.
Gu Mingyan is here.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Gu Mingyan was dressed in white, his face was decadent and gloomy, and he looked pale and bloodless. When he saw Yuntang, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Su Tangyu! It's really you!"
Gu Mingyan walked in excitedly and was immediately stopped by Qinglan and the others.
Yun Tang glanced at the wall next to him, waved his hand and ordered, "Qinglan, you guys step back, I have something to say to the prince."
Qinglan wanted to say something but stopped herself and had to retreat due to the order.
When closing the door, I heard Xiao Bing ask curiously, "Sister Qinglan, who is he?"
Qinglan said with disdain, "What a fool with no vision."
When Gu Mingyan heard this, his face turned even paler and he became shaky and unable to stand steadily.
Yun Tang looked indifferent, "Prince, please sit down."
After Gu Mingyan sat down nearby, he opened his mouth to explain, "Su Tangyu, I'm no longer the prince. Two months ago, my father passed away. I inherited the title and am now the Marquis of Ningguo."
Yuntang looked surprised. "My condolences, congratulations."
The combination of these two words was incredibly awkward and absurd. But Gu Mingyan didn't mind. He had experienced so much in just a few months.
He didn't say it because the Regent had found out about him and had him and the former Ningguo Marquis imprisoned and tortured. He had endured it all, but his father had suffered and died of a serious illness.
Gu Mingyan didn't blame Yuntang.
It was his fault for not doing better and being caught.
"I heard the princess the Regent was going to marry looked just like you. I was afraid it was you, that you'd be caught and tortured, so I came to see you. Are you alright?"
Yuntang smiled, flicked his sleeves and asked him, "What do you think?"
Gu Mingyan looked at Yuntang infatuatedly, without blinking. After not seeing her for a few months, Yuntang became even more beautiful!
Her face was rounder, her complexion rosy, her features picturesque and stunning. Her black hair was adorned with a gold and jade hairpin and jeweled earrings, sparkling with brilliance.
She wore a rich, elegant palace gown of brocade, loose at the waist, and shoes embroidered with Sichuan pearls. She looked noble and beautiful, even more so than the pampered and spoiled girl she had been before.
Gu Mingyan's throat was blocked and he couldn't say that sentence anymore. He was worried that she would be tortured and bullied.
The Prince Regent wants to marry her as his princess!
The scale and ceremony of the wedding preparations shocked all the civil and military officials. When the news spread, the common people in Kyoto were all wondering who the Regent would marry.
Gu Mingyan once dreamed that the Prince Regent married a noble lady from another family. This way, after a few years, he could go find Su Tangyu and rekindle their old relationship!
But now...
Gu Mingyan was apprehensive. After mustering up the courage, he finally asked the question deep in his heart: "Su Tangyu, are you really willing to marry the Regent?"
Yuntang thought about it.
At first, I was unwilling.
But later he found out that Xiao Jin had fallen in love with her, so he gave in to her step by step, allowing her to get ahead of him and act tyrannically.
The Yun family's prosperity and wealth require Xiao Jin.
Her child also needs this powerful father.
Yuntang is willing to marry now!
Anyway, now that she has a baby, the Yun family is prosperous and she can run away at any time with ease.
What's more... Yuntang glanced at the wall next to her. She dared to say that Xiao Jin must be eavesdropping!
He was worried about gains and losses, so he used Gu Mingyan to test her.
The humility made Yuntang laugh in his heart.
In order to prevent someone from going crazy and starting a killing spree, Yun Tang smiled and gave the answer in a pleasant voice.
"I am willing to marry Xiao Jin."
"Su Tangyu, did the Regent threaten you?" Gu Mingyan stood up anxiously, "I can help you! As long as you tell me, I..."
"Gu! Ming! Yan!"
Yun Tang lowered her voice and sternly interrupted him, "I don't need your help! Also, my last name isn't Su, I'm Yun Tang! The second daughter of the Jiangnan Yun family!"
Gu Mingyan was in a trance, his eyes filled with sadness and regret. "Are you really going to marry him? He treated you like that before, he doesn't deserve to marry you."
"Gu Mingyan, please go."
Yuntang saw that he looked like a pitiful creature and wanted to spare his life, thinking that he might be of use in the future.
"Stop dreaming and wake up. Even without Xiao Jin, I wouldn't look down on you!"
Gu Mingyan was distraught and stumbled away.
Next door, the secret guards were waiting for orders.
Xiao Jin was in a very good mood and graciously drove the man away, "He is a marquis after all. I will forgive him this time."
The secret guard put away his knife and retreated respectfully.
Xiao Jin stood up, straightened his robe, and walked back. He looked at Yun Tang with delighted and doting eyes, "Xiao Yu'er, I'm back."
Yuntang glanced at him, holding the teacup and ignoring him.
Xiao Jin walked over and sat down next to her. Without trying to hide his plan, he explained bluntly, "This king is also trying to avoid being cuckolded in the future."
"Don't worry, it won't happen." Yuntang smiled at him.
The person ran away, where did the green hat come from?
However, Yuntang was unhappy about Xiao Jin's behavior, and she wanted to ask for some benefits!
"Xiao Jin, has my brother secured his official position? You're not going to lie to me, are you?"
"I got it." Xiao Jin took her hand, kissed her forehead, and said in a lazy and coaxing voice, "Salt and Iron Envoy, how is it?"
Yun Tang's eyes lit up! What a lucrative job!
