Chapter 63 Sweet and Soft
By the moat, Gu Yuanqing was captured by Ye Yunchu's secret guards and was tied up.
The playboy on the side was about to leave. After all, no one wanted to offend Ye Yunchu. You have to know that the prince of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is the prince's companion and a close minister to the future emperor.
They were dandies, but the prince was not. Even before he took the imperial examination, he had already done a lot for the court. Taking the imperial examination in the future would just be a formality. He was definitely a rising star in the court. Even now, no matter how many people tried to curry favor with him, they couldn't get close to him.
But it was really Gu Yuanqing who took the blame. If they didn't go back to see this excitement, they would regret it to death.
Although Gu Yuanqing was tied up, he has always been a flexible person and has a thick skin. Otherwise, how could he write that kind of storybook? He is an unruly person at heart.
She even struggled a bit, begging for mercy: "Good Xiuzhu, it's just a handkerchief, so I'll embroider one for you when I get home, don't be angry."
Ye Yunchu didn't even give him a glance, and with his thin lips slightly parted, he said only two words: "Get lost."
The dandy on the side couldn't help but say something mean: "Shancheng, how can the stinky handkerchief you embroidered compare to the fragrant and soft handkerchief of the concubine?"
There was laughter all around.
Gu Yuanqing immediately looked at the man and said, "How do you know that the concubine's handkerchief is so fragrant and soft? Did you smell it?"
The man immediately cowered when he heard this, hiding behind his friend, his fan covering his face before he tried to defend himself: "I didn't do that, I just thought that. That Su embroidery is precious. I'm the poorest among you. You know my father only gives me one or two taels of silver a day. I don't even dare to touch that precious Su embroidery, for fear that someone would damage it. Gu Yuanqing, you bastard, don't spread rumors about me!"
Gu Yuanqing snorted, "Although you don't have money, you have a thief's heart and you want to keep it all. If Xiuzhu throws me into the water, I will drag you down with me."
"What? What did you say? You're going to give birth? I'll go back right away."
The man hurried away.
"It's a headache from all the noise."
Ye Yunchu was holding Gu Yuanqing's folding fan made of precious materials. He unfolded the fan and fanned it casually, and the jade bones of the fan broke.
"Ye Yunchu!"
Gu Yuanqing was so distressed that blood was about to drip out: "You are not a human!"
Ye Yunchu sneered. He had completely damaged the fan, and now he knew to scream. Why didn't he show any regret when he lost his handkerchief?
"You are a human now."
Ye Yunchu threw the completely broken fan, Gu Yuanqing's favorite thing, into the moat like trash.
Gu Yuanqing was also thrown in, and the water splashed all over the dandies who were watching the fun, making them shiver with cold. These delicate young men had never experienced such hardship before, and they all started sneezing.
Ye Yunchu gave a look and left with the secret guards.
The dandy who was watching the excitement still had some conscience. He didn't run away in a hurry, but instead shouted: "Save him, save him quickly."
"Shancheng, hold on Shancheng!"
"Come on, grab some."
"Boatman, boatman, come here and pick him up with the bamboo pole."
There was chaos here. The playboys had some conscience, but not many. No one jumped down to save people. The servant who followed them was stopped when he wanted to jump down.
Gu Yuanqing didn't bring any servants with him, and because he was tied up, he suffered a lot.
There was no trace of his usual talented and brilliant demeanor. He gulped down the water, popping up and then sinking again.
"Help."
"save........"
His cries for help became increasingly feeble and weak.
The common people passing by did not dare to look at the excitement of these playboys, and just glanced and walked away.
But there are always those who are brave enough to hide and watch secretly.
As long as you don't get discovered, you can enjoy the fun however you want.
Ye Qiaoqiao and Li Runrun were hiding behind the tree, secretly watching this side.
They came out to eat noodles, and just as they were coming back from their meal, they saw Ye Qiaoqiao pulling Li Ruanruan.
Li Runrun looked at the prince who was showing off his great power again. She felt that the prince could act arrogantly not only in the mansion, but also outside.
Li Runrun hid under the willow tree, clutching her handkerchief tightly. She had to be extra careful when serving the prince in the future, otherwise she might be the next one to be thrown into the water.
She might not have such a good life and be saved by so many people.
Although it was a bit strange that among so many people no one jumped in to save him.
Maybe none of them can swim, Li Runrun thought, but she can swim, so she can soak in the water for a while longer.
In this way, maybe the prince will get angry and pull her out.
Li Runrun tilted her head and saw Ye Qiaoqiao's worried look. She scratched the willow bark with her hands, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
Li Ruanruan was even more puzzled. Was Ye Qiaoqiao worried?
Li Ruanruan whispered to her, "It's okay, don't worry. The prince knows his limits. If he dares to do this, he must not be afraid of being held accountable."
Li Runrun felt that Ye Yunchu was still very thoughtful, and he would take on responsibilities if he dared to do it.
So she wasn't worried at all.
Over there, Gu Yuanqing was pulled onto the boat by the boatman. He was so cold that he had lost consciousness all over. He sat on the boat and let the boatman untie the rope for him. His hands and feet were stiff.
Because the boatman was busy untying the rope for him, the boat went down the river and soon floated past the willow tree.
Gu Yuanqing used his frozen fingers to wring the water out of his hair and body, then raised his eyes and met Li Runrun's.
He held out his hand: "Little Tongfang."
Li Runrun was startled. How did this person know her? He wouldn't take revenge on her because of the prince's behavior, right? He wouldn't suddenly jump up and hit her.
Seeing Gu Yuanqing standing on the boat, Li Runrun stepped back.
Only then did Gu Yuanqing notice Ye Qiaoqiao next to Li Runrun. He just glanced at her and their eyes met, but he couldn't remember who she was.
Ye Qiaoqiao had already grabbed Li Ruanruan's hand and ran away hurriedly, without even looking back. She ran very fast, as if something was chasing her from behind, or as if she was scared.
Gu Yuanqing looked at their reactions and quickly lowered his head to look at himself. He was wet and messy. He even pulled a long, dirty seaweed out of his hair.
No wonder people were scared away. It was really shameful. Gu Yuanqing shook his head, took out a tael of silver from his sleeve, rewarded the boatman, and jumped ashore and went back.
"A-choo, A-choo."
He was freezing to death, and when he thought of his fan, his heart felt like it was bleeding.
She didn't think about the prince's precious handkerchief that he had lost at all.
Ye Qiaoqiao ran back to the shop in one breath before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ruanruan was extremely surprised: "Qiaoqiao, your face is so red, are you okay?"
Ye Qiaoqiao stared at Li Ruanruan in a daze, as if she hadn't come back to her senses yet. After a while, she said slowly, "Huh? Red... Oh, I'm hot. I ran too hot, so my face is red."
Ye Qiaoqiao ran in the cold wind and covered her face with her cold hands. She stopped looking at Li Runrun for fear of her girlish thoughts being discovered, and turned to face the shop.
But he saw Ye Yunchu walking into the shop with his secret guards.
