3. Flirting in the West Market
After a few days of profound teaching from Madam Fu Ya, Yun Zhihe had improved a lot. Although she had always respected her teachers, Madam Fu Ya's temper was sometimes really disappointing.
It seems that she couldn't help but want to refute directly.
Xuanyuan He seemed to be used to it. He never refuted but just lowered his head and took the scolding.
Because of this, the two of them didn't communicate much and remained unfamiliar with each other, but Yun Zhihe felt a little melancholy.
She calmed herself down and came back to her senses, only to find that the Second Prince looked unhappy. His handsome face, which had been smiling, turned cold. She asked.
"Are you so unhappy about coming out with this prince?"
"No, no, no." Yun Zhihe quickly denied it and responded with a gentle smile, his eyes slightly curved.
Although she was apologizing to the Second Prince, she also wanted to relax recently, so she was a little happy. She suggested softly with great interest.
"Why don't we go for a walk and pick up the little black panther on the way."
Qin Zhi pursed his lips, didn't look at her, and nodded.
There were many novel gadgets on the road. Although Qin Zhi was the leader of the dandy ladies in Beijing, he had never seen so many strange and bizarre things.
After a while, I had a lot more things in my hands.
Yun Zhihe also paid for everything with a smile. Qin Zhi became more and more excited as he bought things. With a wave of his hand, he asked the servants to take the things back to the mansion.
He suddenly stopped, looked at Yun Zhihe, pursed his lips, and his beautiful pine green eyes were a little hesitant. Just when Yun Zhihe was confused, his slender fingertips pointed at the hairpin on the stall next to him.
“…This prince wants that.”
As if trying to hide something, he raised his neck and acted arrogantly.
It was a hairpin made of white jade. The jade was not very delicate, but it was white and smooth. The style was also very simple, and it had a magnolia carved on it.
Under normal circumstances, Qin Zhi would absolutely look down on such simple things.
But he saw someone nearby bought a hairpin and lovingly put it on the man next to him. They were in perfect harmony and very affectionate with each other. It was obvious that they were a newlywed couple.
Yun Zhihe had just been paying the bill, and Qin Zhi watched for a long time. Somehow, his heart suddenly began to tremble.
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, turned his face away, and his ears turned a little red. Yun Zhihe understood what he meant, took out his purse, paid for it, took it over, and asked the saleswoman to pack it up.
"No need to pack it." Qin Zhi suddenly stopped him, paused, and glanced at Yun Zhihe, "You..."
"you……"
"...You bring it to this prince."
The servants carried the purchased things back and loaded them into the carriage. Azhi also left. Now there was no one who could serve the prince.
Yun Zhihe just thought that he was interested and suddenly fell in love with this simple magnolia hairpin. She was also good-tempered and let the pampered Second Prince treat her as a servant. She calmly took the hairpin and wanted to put it on him.
This hairpin does not suit him. Qin Zhi is wearing a black jade crown today, and this white hairpin seems a bit superfluous. But he doesn't think it is ugly. Instead, he feels happy. He lowers his head obediently and lets Yun Zhihe put the hairpin on him.
Yun Zhihe had an inexplicable fragrance on her body, not the smell of cosmetics, but rather a clear and bright scent with a slight scent of ink. Her fingertips accidentally touched his neck, which felt cool and soft.
Her chest was beating so hard she could almost hear it.
She asked softly, "Is the Second Prince satisfied?"
Qin Zhi paused, nodded, and spoke in a hoarse voice, pretending to be indifferent.
"……good."
Then he hurried forward, covering his red ears.
The West Market is the most prosperous market between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. As they walked around, they came to the place with the most people from the Western Regions in the West Market. This is the central area. The Second Prince does not come here often. When he saw the people from the Western Regions coming and going, he looked at them with some surprise.
Some of them resembled him, while others were blond and blue-eyed.
“Hmm!”
He was so engrossed in watching that he was suddenly bumped into by someone. He was about to get angry, but the crowd surged and he was soon pushed away. He frowned and tried to determine the location.
The crowd around was bustling, and everyone was wearing colorful clothes. After searching for a long time, Yun Zhihe's slim figure could not be found.
This was an invitation I had been looking forward to for a long time, and I hadn't spent enough time with him. How could I not be angry when I was separated by the crowd? The servants around me were also waved away by him. At this time, I was alone and felt helpless.
He stood by the alley, his arms folded as he watched the people passing by.
If she can't find me within a stick of incense, then...
Then...
Qin Zhi was a little discouraged, but his face became even colder.
He was handsome, with a figure as straight as a bamboo and a face with a wild temperament. After a while, someone patted his shoulder.
He was already in a bad mood, and when he looked up, he saw a fierce look on the face of a woman he didn't know, with a smile on her face, and a hint of greed and disgust, and he spoke directly.
"roll."
Merciless.
The woman was startled for a moment, then laughed again, "Oh~ My dear, you are handsome and wild, I like you."
She wanted to make a move, but just as she stretched out her hand, Qin Zhi slapped it away with a "slap".
"hiss--"
Qin Zhize looked at her with disgust as he patted her hand. Her long fingers were sticky and disgusting. He was still waiting for Yun Zhihe to stop getting entangled with such a person. His voice was low and threatening.
"Get out of here, or else..."
Before he could finish, the woman stood up and rushed over in anger, strangling Qin Zhi's arm.
"You bitch! Do you think I'm a precious master just because I'm showing you some kindness?!"
"you--"
Qin Zhi had never seen such a rude person before, and he was also furious. He wanted to pull out the whip on his waist and hit this desperate woman in the face.
But his fingertips suddenly touched nothing.
The whip must have fallen during the collision just now. In just a moment, Qin Zhi panicked and the woman was still teasing him without knowing the consequences.
"Stop! I'm the Second Prince! If you touch me again, I'll kill all your clans!"
Qin Zhi struggled to break free from the woman's grip on his wrist, but unfortunately, men and women have different physical strengths, so he couldn't move.
"Huh? I'm still a princess!"
“Hmm!”
She showed disdain and began to lean towards Qin Zhi, but was kicked away just as she was about to touch him.
Yun Zhihe discovered that Qin Zhi was missing for some time. She searched around anxiously and returned along the same route.
I hope nothing goes wrong with this uncle.
When she found him, she saw Qin Zhi struggling with his wrist being strangled by an unfamiliar woman, and her heart almost stopped.
If he made a mistake, Yun Zhihe would not be able to afford the compensation even with ten heads.
"Bang!"
In just a moment, she suddenly burst out with strength, rushed forward quickly, and kicked the female gangster away with an extremely hard kick.
Her usually calm face was rarely tinged with anger, and she protected Qin Zhi behind her.
She truly despised the act of teasing a decent boy in broad daylight. Moreover, if the Second Prince made a mistake...
Qin Zhi came back to his senses and could still feel the woman's grip on his wrist. Looking at her back, his panic turned into grievance.
Gritting his teeth, his eyes suddenly turned red, and the usually tough Second Prince sobbed softly, his voice hoarse.
"Why did you come just now..."
He was also touched by that shameless woman.
Yun Zhihe bowed his head and apologized, his voice filled with anger, "Zhihe will definitely seek justice for the Second Prince."
The female gangster slowly stood up and was about to curse, but when she saw Yun Zhihe, she was stunned and her attitude became much softer.
"This young lady...is this your young master?"
She looked at Qin Zhi's handsome face with some reluctance and greed in her eyes, then turned to Yun Zhihe and said, "How about I pay more and we can come together?"
Qin Zhi then understood what the ruffian meant. She thought he was selling himself like those prostitutes from the Western Regions.
Qin Zhi was shaking with anger. He had never been insulted like this in his life. A dignified prince was misunderstood as a lowly prostitute. He wanted to chop this person into pieces on the spot.
Almost all the men from the Western Regions are in this line of work. The female gangster looked at Qin Zhi's pine green eyes and thought he was one of those men from the Western Regions.
Yun Zhihe paused and figured out the reason.
I had originally wanted to wait for Azhi and the others to arrive, but now I just had a fire in my heart that needed to be vented, my expression became even more indifferent, and I walked forward.
Just when the ruffian thought he was going to pay, he punched him.
Her martial arts skills were only good enough for self-defense, but the situation was so special that even she couldn't contain her anger and stood up for the Second Prince.
Azhi and the others will be here soon, so it won’t be too much for me to fight with this guy first. I won’t be beaten to death anyway. The punch just now made the woman stagger, and the woman reacted and wanted to fight back.
Yun Zhihe had not learned much martial arts, and was unable to dodge and was hit by a punch, and his fair skin turned purple.
"Fuck! You're protecting this bitch from the Western Regions like she's a treasure!"
The woman was cursing, and while she was talking, Yun Zhihe lowered his eyes and pounced on her, pushing her to the ground. His body moved subconsciously, grabbing her head and slamming it to the ground.
Fortunately, the women in the Female-Respecting Country are strong and powerful, so Yun Zhihe has enough strength. Even though she has never learned martial arts, she knows what this move is... grappling?
This word suddenly appeared in my head.
"Bang!"
He grabbed the woman's hair with his hands, then restrained her body so that she couldn't exert any strength, and slammed her head against the ground with all her might. There was a crisp sound as her head hit the ground.
The woman's arrogant curses turned into pleas for mercy, and soon her head was covered in blood.
"Second Prince! Miss!"
Just at this time, Azhi arrived with a nearby patrol team. The dark crowd standing nearby was dispersed, and the woman on the ground was also taken away.
There was a bruise on Yun Zhihe Runya's face, which looked scary. She was panting and adjusting her breathing to calm her accelerated heartbeat after the fight.
Qin Zhi, who was still in a daze, looked at the wound on Yun Zhihe's face. Tears suddenly fell from his slightly red eyes and he choked with sobs, "You, you..."
Yun Zhihe only then remembered to apologize hastily. This incident could accuse her of multiple crimes, and if the Second Prince wanted to punish her, she would not be able to escape.
Fortunately, the second prince was not harmed.
"Zhi He was careless and failed to protect the Second Prince. Please punish me, Second Prince."
Qin Zhi just looked at her with red eyes and biting her lower lip without making a sound.
He had only a little fondness for her.
Gentle and considerate, talented, and clear as the moon, it was probably because a long time ago, the girl smiled at him as gently as the breeze and bright moon, and the unruly and willful Second Prince had fallen in love with her very early on.
He once tapped the wine glass with his fingertips lazily at a banquet, and then looked at the girl with a smile on her face, as if the bright moon was shining on her face, drinking with others.
I only liked her a little bit.
Just a little bit.
He and Yun Zhihe sat in the carriage. The servant brought the medicine and the second prince took it.
"You saved this prince, so I won't hold you accountable for your mistakes."
His voice was still magnetic and hoarse, and his Adam's apple was trembling. He hesitated, and the fingertips that were applying the medicine touched her wound. Yun Zhihe was obviously a little flattered.
"Don't move, I'll... apply medicine to you."
Qin Zhi's handsome face flushed slightly. It was rare for the Second Prince, who was avoided by the women in the capital because of his rebelliousness, to appear so docile.
Qin Zhi was extremely powerful in shooting arrows, but his fingertips were very gentle when applying medicine.
"Let me see the wound on your face..."
Qin Zhi slowly moved closer, lowered his eyes, and their breathing gradually became close, their breaths intertwined at the tip of their noses.
Yun Zhihe was a little confused, and she was afraid of offending him so she deliberately slowed down her breathing. Qin Zhi's fingertips touched her face, and her chest felt sweet, and she suddenly felt a little confused and infatuated.
"I……"
Now, I like her even more.
His Adam's apple trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips again, moving slightly closer, his breath blending with their noses. Just as he was about to lean in, Qin Zhi stood up quickly as if he had suddenly woken up.
"cough."
The tips of his ears turned red and he cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment.
Qin Zhi wanted to kiss her, but as the second prince, it would be cheap for him to take the initiative to get close to her.
Moreover, this piece of wood didn't react at all. Is it... nervous?
Thinking of this, his chest felt sweet and sickly.
Yun Zhihe was really confused. He said, "The wound on your face..." and came closer to see her injury, but wasn't he getting too close?
She looked at the Second Prince's unconcealable smile again, and always felt that he seemed... very happy to see her being beaten like this?
Lady Yun, who was surrounded by the clear wind and bright moon, seemed to be a little frustrated and confused for a rare moment.
Really, are you that happy?
