Chapter 55 Direct Confession
"Your Highness, do you still remember that you saved someone by the Cang River?"
Feng Shenyu moved closer and looked at Li Yueyao eagerly.
"Canghe?"
Li Yueyao thought about it again.
Feng Shenyu added, "This man is good-looking. For the sake of his face, please save his life."
When Li Yueyao heard Feng Shenyu say this, she suddenly remembered that she had seen a man with his lower body immersed in water, dying by the Cang River.
He said this, then had someone throw him a bottle of detoxification pills and left.
Li Yueyao belatedly realized what was happening and looked at Fengshenyu in front of her. She said doubtfully, "That person, could it be... you?"
Feng Shenyu opened his eyes wide and innocently, blinked and said, "Yes, Your Highness, that person is me."
Li Yueyao looked at the strange Fengshen Jade in front of her, and her IQ suddenly came online. She stammered:
"So...so...I am...the person you have been looking for?"
Feng Shenyu saw that Li Yueyao finally remembered, smiled and nodded.
Li Yueyao was even more frightened when she saw Feng Shenyu smile, and said in panic, "This...this is ridiculous."
"Your Highness, I was sixteen years old that year, and I was stuck studying in the academy every day. One day, I felt restless and sneaked out for a walk by the river.
But I was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake. Fortunately, Your Highness passed by and saved me.
For so many years, I have been looking for you, hoping to repay your kindness."
Li Yueyao took a long time to find her voice, and after a moment's deliberation, she said, "Right Prime Minister, this is just a small favor, and I don't expect any reward from you."
Feng Shenyu said, “Your Highness, I was just trying to repay you at first, but later it became an obsession to find you.
Not long ago, you came down from Chunshan. I saw you from afar by the Cang River and followed you all the way into the city, but accidentally lost you.
During the first two days when you attended court, I asked for leave and sent someone to look for you in the capital.
But I never expected to see you on the roadside on the third day.
When we met again, you were still as bright and elegant as you were ten years ago. At that moment, I felt that the ten years of waiting were worth it.
Li Yueyao listened to Feng Shenyu's words, and felt something was wrong, so she quickly interrupted him:
"Look, looking for me is just an obsession. You don't have to be with me..."
Feng Shenyu interrupted Li Yueyao and said, "No, Your Highness, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you ten years ago.
What's more, you saved my life."
Seeing this, Li Yueyao thought to herself: Damn, this guy had planned his confession today!
No, I'm not ready yet. I've never thought about developing anything with the Right Prime Minister.
So he quickly said, "Right Prime Minister, look, I am only one year older than you and have long passed the marriageable age.
This... There are so many young ladies of marriageable age from noble families out there, why should the Right Prime Minister be obsessed with those old things?
Besides…”
Feng Shenyu interrupted Li Yueyao again and said, "Your Highness, I just want to tell you that I love you.
That night, I took the initiative to hug Your Highness, so Your Highness touched me inappropriately, which I desired very much.
I just hope Your Highness will remember to be responsible to me."
After saying this, Feng Shenyu turned around and got out of the car.
Li Yueyao was left alone in the car, stunned.
This...what the hell is going on!
Could it be that I have been eating my own melon?
This is too magical...
It’s one thing to envy others’ ten-year love, but when it happens to you, why does it seem more and more wrong the more you think about it?
I felt guilty for several days because of my drunkenness that day, but he actually enjoyed it...
Just like that, Li Yueyao returned home and still hadn't come to her senses.
After getting off the car, he walked towards the mansion with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and almost tripped over the threshold.
Cuiwei quickly supported the person from the side.
Li Yueyao was absent-minded until lunch.
Nanny Qin saw this and asked Li Yueyao, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you worried?"
Li Yueyao nodded.
"Well, someone confessed to me and said that he liked me."
Cuiwei heard this and started grinning.
Nanny Qin also smiled and said, "It must be the Right Prime Minister."
Li Yueyao reacted, came back to her senses, looked at Aunt Qin and asked, "Aunt, how did you know?"
Nanny Qin smiled and said, "I'm afraid Your Highness is the only one who doesn't know. We can all see that the Right Prime Minister looks at you differently."
Li Yueyao turned around and looked at the smiling Cuiwei and asked, "You noticed it too?"
"Yes, Your Highness.
That night you were drinking with the Right Prime Minister, and the Right Prime Minister looked at you with a tearful look in his eyes, as if he wished his eyes could grow on you.
Anyone with eyes can see it.”
Li Yueyao's eyes widened when she heard this. "Is it really that obvious?"
Cuiwei and Nanny Qin nodded vigorously.
Then Nanny Qin said, "Your Highness, the Right Prime Minister has good conditions and is very suitable.
He is different from Pei Xiang. His heart and eyes are full of you, and he has been searching for you for ten years.
In ten years, the daughter-in-law will become a mother-in-law and the son will grow up to be a young man.
How many decades can a person have in his life? It is obvious that he is also infatuated."
Li Yueyao didn't appreciate it at all. She curled her lips and said, "Auntie, which side are you from?"
"My dear prince, your aunt is naturally on your side, but you can't ignore your lifelong affairs.
You see, this matter has almost become a source of worry for His Majesty."
Li Yueyao listened and said, "Give me some time to think about it, this is too sudden.
This right prime minister is a trusted official in the court. If he were to marry me and become my son-in-law, it would affect his future.
Besides, he is still needed in many places in the court. If he is absent from the court, won't the Left Prime Minister become even more powerful? "
Nanny Qin nodded after hearing this: "Your Highness's concerns are not without reason."
Then he picked up a piece of spinach and handed it to Li Yueyao, saying, "Anyway, this matter is not urgent. Your Highness, please take your time to consider it."
Li Yueyao nodded and continued eating.
When Feng Shenyu returned home, he saw Li Huaiyu teasing the little thrush in the cage under the corridor of the flower hall.
Seeing Feng Shenyu coming back, he walked up to him with a gossipy look on his face.
"How's it going? Did it go well?"
Feng Shenyu nodded expressionlessly.
"Did my aunt accept it?"
Feng Shenyu walked into the flower hall without stopping.
After sitting down, he sighed and said, "She remembered the incident when she saved me, and I also expressed my feelings.
But I don’t know whether she agrees or accepts it…”
Li Huaiyu laughed and said, "If someone suddenly comes out and expresses their love, anyone would be confused. Give your aunt some time and let her think about it."
Feng Shenyu nodded and said, "This is the only way."
"Anyway, I don't have to go to court recently, and I won't be busy until after the Lantern Festival.
You can use this month to study and improve your relationship."
Feng Shenyu nodded after hearing this.
In the next few days, Feng Shenyu never saw Li Yueyao again because Li Yueyao avoided him even more.
Li Yueyao sent Qian Lou to deliver the New Year gifts to various royal palaces, and she never went out herself.
All the visiting cards submitted by Feng Shenyu were returned, saying that Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess was not feeling well and would not see guests.
Feng Shenyu saw that this was not a solution, so he called Yu Zhan over and gave him some instructions.
On the night of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yueyao had just laid down when she heard some noise outside.
"Cuiwei, what happened outside?" Li Yueyao asked.
"Your Highness, it seems someone broke into the mansion at night." Cuiwei replied.
Li Yueyao frowned after hearing this: "Who is so bold?"
"Your Highness, the little thief must have strayed in by mistake. Chen Yue has already chased him. Don't worry."
Li Yueyao felt relieved when she heard that Chen Yue had gone after her.
After a while, she heard the door being pushed open, and asked with her eyes closed, "Cuiwei, have you caught the thief?"
"Thief? Your Highness, are you talking about me?"
Feng Shenyu's voice suddenly sounded in Li Yueyao's ears.
