Chapter 52 Drinking and Talking
Li Yueyao listened and smiled, saying, "He grew up with me since childhood and is the great-nephew of my grandmother.
He is not a talented person, but he is a very gentle person. We have had a good relationship since we were young.
I didn't have any crush on anyone at that time, but when I reached the marriageable age, I chose him from among a crowd of people.
After he died, his cousin from his aunt's family wore mourning clothes for him. Only then did I realize that he and his cousin were in love with each other, and I was the one who broke them up.
Later, I felt that this blind marriage was really boring, so the wedding was postponed again and again..."
After Feng Shenyu heard this, the depressed mood in his heart instantly dissipated.
He raised a glass of wine and said to Li Yueyao, "Come, Your Highness, this glass of wine is a toast to the wasted youth between you and me."
Li Yueyao laughed when she heard this, picked up the wine glass, clinked it with hers, and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he said: "You Xiang is different from me. Although you have been searching for ten years, you finally found it.
At last, I have a partner to walk with and a beautiful woman in my arms for the rest of my life.
Unlike me, year after year, I can only be accompanied by the breeze, the bright moon, and wine."
After hearing this, Feng Shenyu turned around and looked at Li Yueyao's profile, thinking to himself: Your Highness, from now on, besides the breeze, the bright moon, and the wine, I will also be by your side.
I will not break off my relationship with you until heaven and earth unite.
Cuiwei, who was standing next to him, was so moved by the way Feng Shenyu looked at her master that she could almost pull out threads.
Hmm? Doesn't the Right Prime Minister have a crush on someone? What does he...what does he mean by this?
Feng Shenyu said to Li Yueyao with a melancholy look on his face: "However, Your Highness, although I have found that person and know her identity.
But she doesn't know that I like her, what should I do?"
After hearing this, Cuiwei thought to herself: Could it be that the person the Right Prime Minister likes is his own master?
Li Yueyao didn't notice anything, but turned around and looked at Feng Shenyu in amazement.
"I didn't expect that you, Right Prime Minister, still have a crush on me. You're quite innocent!"
After listening to Li Yueyao's comments, Feng Shenyu took a deep breath and said, "So, what should I do next?"
Li Yueyao was very excited after hearing the gossip about Feng Shenyu and recommended it enthusiastically.
"Two approaches, one radical and one gentle. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Seeing Li Yueyao so excited, Feng Shenyu also became curious and said, "Let's talk about the radical one first."
Li Yueyao said with sparkling eyes: "Just confess your feelings and tell her that you like her."
Feng Shenyu shook his head after hearing this and said, "It's not appropriate. I'm afraid she won't be able to accept it for the time being and will be scared away."
Li Yueyao listened and said, "Then the second method is to boil the frog in warm water.
Keep appearing in front of her, thinking what she thinks, doing what she does, taking care of her, comforting her, and let her slowly get used to your presence.
Then observe her carefully. If she doesn't mind, wait for the right moment to confess your feelings. This way, you'll have a good chance of success."
Feng Shenyu nodded in a serious tone after hearing this and said, "Yes, that's right. This method is more suitable."
Seeing Feng Shenyu accept her suggestion, Li Yueyao said proudly, "That's right, I didn't read those storybooks in vain."
Feng Shenyu raised his wine glass and said, "Thank you for your advice, Your Highness. I'll toast to Your Highness with this glass."
Li Yueyao picked up the wine glass and drank it, then waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor."
The two drank and talked, and before they knew it, the night was coming from afar.
Cuiwei directed everyone to light the lanterns.
Li Yueyao was drunk and was reciting: "I raise my glass to the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three..."
Feng Shenyu was staring at Li Yueyao's blushing face. She had such a rosy face and peach blossom cheeks that she became more and more beautiful the more he looked at her.
Cuiwei was now certain that the Right Prime Minister liked her master.
Looking at the two people who were such a perfect match in front of her, Cuiwei felt very happy and prepared to tell Nanny Qin about this matter soon.
It's really frustrating that my master is so clueless. I hope Nanny Qin can give His Highness some advice.
Finally, Li Yueyao was drunk and passed out at the table.
Feng Shenyu saw this and shouted, "Your Highness? Your Highness?"
But Li Yueyao didn't respond, Feng Shenyu stood up and said, "Your Highness, it's too cold at night to sleep here. I'll take Your Highness back."
As he said this, he walked forward and picked up Li Yueyao horizontally.
Li Yueyao drunkenly leaned her head on Feng Shenyu's shoulder.
Feng Shenyu smelled the faint scent of gardenia mixed with the smell of wine on Li Yueyao, and sighed in his heart:
It turns out this is what it feels like to have the one you love in your arms, making your heart feel at ease and complete.
But then I thought that I love you but you don’t know it, and I felt melancholy again.
Cuiwei wanted to step forward to stop her, but she saw Li Yueyao's hand on her beautiful chest, groping non-stop...
He stopped again and led the way in front, not daring to look back.
Feng Shenyu naturally felt Li Yueyao's restless hand gradually reaching into her inner clothes.
Suddenly, Fengshenyu's body paused, his steps stopped for a moment, and his whole body turned red and warm.
Li Yueyao caressed Feng Shenyu's chest unconsciously. It was not at all charming, she was just touching blindly.
But for Feng Shenyu, this hand felt soft and warm, yet it also felt like a branding iron setting fire to his chest.
Every inch of my body that was touched by Li Yueyao's hands felt tingling and numb as if it had been electrocuted.
Suddenly, my heart started beating like a drum, my steps became unsteady, and my breathing became disordered.
Every step after that was torture.
Under the cover of night, no one noticed Feng Shenyu's embarrassment.
Feng Shenyu felt that the hand on her chest made her happy and distressed.
Finally, he moved step by step to the outside of Li Yueyao's dormitory, and Feng Shenyu was sweating all over.
Nanny Qin was suddenly startled when she saw Feng Shenyu carrying Li Yueyao towards her.
Then he reacted and stopped the man at the gate of the yard.
"Right Prime Minister, please stop."
After saying that, he called Gan Hong over and carried Li Yueyao into the yard.
Feng Shenyu also knew that Nanny Qin had served two queens and was very particular about etiquette. She stopped him at this moment for the sake of Li Yueyao's reputation.
Therefore, after handing the person over to Gan Hong, he bowed to Nanny Qin and took his leave.
Holding the clothes on his chest, he fled from the Grand Princess's residence and breathed a sigh of relief after getting into his carriage.
After Nanny Qin settled Li Yueyao down, she called Cuiwei out with a sullen face.
"Tell me, why did the Right Prime Minister come back with the princess?"
Cuiwei looked at Nanny Qin's expression and realized belatedly that she seemed to have done something inappropriate.
But he still told Nanny Qin everything he had seen.
Nanny Qin looked thoughtful after hearing this and said, "You're saying that Your Highness is the one the Right Prime Minister is looking for? The Right Prime Minister has taken a fancy to Our Highness?"
Cuiwei nodded vigorously.
Nanny Qin thought for a moment and said, "The Right Prime Minister comes from a famous family. His status, age, and appearance are all comparable to that of our prince.
He's a pretty good candidate."
Cuiwei nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice after hearing this: "Mammy, but I noticed that His Highness doesn't seem to realize that the Right Prime Minister is talking about her."
"Those involved are always confused!" Nanny Qin sighed.
"Who says it's not?" Cuiwei agreed.
Then he said, "Back then, there was a rumor in the capital that our prince was unlucky in marriage. The Empress Dowager even sent for the abbot of the royal temple, Xiyun Zen Temple, to read the prince's fortune.
The host said, Your Highness is destined to marry late, the later the better, the more fulfilling it will be.”
Cuiwei frowned after hearing this and said, "Then, Madam, what should we do next?"
Nanny Qin thought for a moment and said, "For this matter, we should first observe the intentions of our Highness and see what her attitude is towards the Right Prime Minister."
Cuiwei listened and continued, "I see that our prince likes the Right Prime Minister's face very much and is always staring at it."
Nanny Qin laughed and said, "A handsome man like the Right Prime Minister is indeed rare, and everyone wants to take a second look at him.
It’s just that our Highness likes to watch openly.”
