As soon as he left, Yan Shiyue pulled Huo Qijing up to the tree house. Looking out of the window, he could see the two of them clearly.
Xu Wanyang asked earnestly, "Did you come out of Fuyuan? Did you see Empress Fu?"
"It's you." Chu Ningyuan looked at her and said, "Why are you asking His Highness? Do you want to see His Highness?"
Xu Wanyang asked: "Have you seen His Highness?"
"You want to know?" Chu Ningyuan rode closer to her, pretending to get closer, and said meaningfully, "Why should I tell you?"
Xu Wanyang asked: "What do you want me to do to tell me?"
Although there was a lantern in front of the door, the light was insufficient. Yan Shiyue's eyes were sore from staring, and she couldn't see Xu Wanyang's expression clearly.
Yan Shiyue stepped back and rubbed his eyes: "My eyesight is not good! Why don't you help me check it!"
"I won't watch it," Huo Qijing leaned against the windowsill, "Who knows when you'll think of it and get angry again!"
"Hey!" She lowered her voice and said, "How can you think of me like that? Am I that kind of person?" He lowered his eyes to look at her, and then she burst out laughing: "Yes, I am!"
...
...
She touched his face lustfully: "It's good that you have this awareness!"
He looked at her, then grabbed her hand and pulled it down, wrapping it around his waist: "Hug me."
She leaned over obediently, put her arms around his waist, and tilted her little face up: "What's wrong?"
Huo Qijing looked at her and smiled after a while: "When she is well behaved, she is extremely well behaved. But when she loses her temper... she is simply not a human being."
Hey! How can you describe him as not a human being? She stared at him speechlessly.
He raised his hand and stroked between her eyebrows. In the dim light, she could clearly feel the slightly rough calluses on his knuckles.
He was silent for a long time before he said softly, "These past two days, I've often thought of what you said that day."
Yan Shiyue lowered her eyes guiltily.
Well, she was a little emotional at the time, but who would have thought that his ears were so sharp! She didn't dare to think about his words and the oath he made that day. She felt so distressed when she thought about it.
Huo Qijing said: "In your previous life, I mean..."
He hesitated to speak. Yan Shiyue understood what he meant.
She said, "No."
He stopped and looked at her. She also looked at him quietly, then repeated: "No. From the beginning to the end, I only have Ah Jing."
He looked at her, and she whispered, "If you don't leave, I won't abandon you. Even if I really have the chance to go back, I will never abandon you. I swear."
He then smiled, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear: "I want to get married." He was like a child who couldn't get candy, repeating again and again: "I want to get married. Ayue, I want to get married."
After the morning court session the next day, Yan Shiyue went to the imperial study.
Then, just as Gu Jiuxing turned the corner, someone grabbed him. Manager Gu was so frightened that he almost cried out. When he saw that it was her, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Your Highness! You are going to scare this old slave to death!"
Yan Shiyue said seriously: "Give this to Aye."
Then she handed a paper frog to Gu Jiuxing. Gu Jiuxing looked at it in surprise: "Your Highness, what are you talking about?"
"Don't ask!" Yan Shiyue said more seriously: "Leave it to Aye!"
Gu Jiuxing didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurried in to hand it to Emperor Ming Yan. Emperor Ming Yan glanced at it and ordered him to open it, but there was nothing written inside.
Emperor Mingyan asked, "Where are the people?"
Gu Jiuxing said: "It's outside."
"Call him in!"
Gu Jiuxing called her in. Yan Shiyue bowed with a smile, sat down and started eating.
Emperor Mingyan asked, "What's the point of doing this?"
Yan Shiyue picked up a small bun and said with a smile: "Guess! Don't you all like to give something that seems to be true and then ask people to guess? I can also be mysterious!"
Emperor Ming Yan smiled and said, "Have you had enough fun? Do you want to jump around?"
Ah? Yan Shiyue opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Aye, did you really guess it?"
Emperor Ming Yan teased her: "You are only a little knowledgeable, and you dare to play with this! I don't need to think too deeply!"
My dear father! Yan Shiyue looked at him speechlessly.
Emperor Mingyan said again: "March 29th."
She bit the bun and asked, "Hmm?"
Emperor Ming Yan glanced at her and said, "You want to jump around, isn't it just to get married? This is the date newly calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory! You can show up any time you want these few days!"
Yan Shiyue was impressed by Emperor Ming Yan's intelligence. Really impressed.
She asked, "Should I show up looking glamorous or sickly?"
"It's up to you," Emperor Mingyan said, "each has its pros and cons. It doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want."
"Okay," Yan Shiyue thought for a moment, "'Wu Qi' still has one thing to do. Once it's done, I'll make a grand return!"
When she returned to the guard post, Chu Ningyuan came up to her and whispered, "I met that man yesterday."
She hummed.
Chu Ningyuan said: "I can't explain it clearly. When I first met her, I thought she was a straightforward woman, but yesterday... well, you say she behaved a little bit, I tried to make some moves, but she didn't seem to care, and seemed... like she was used to the world."
He asked, “What’s wrong with that?”
Yan Shiyue shook her head: "Your feelings are different from mine. I think both of us, no, you and Xiaoyan, are the ones who suspected that the neighbor stole the axe!"
Chu Ningyuan said: "Maybe."
As the two were talking, Guo Hao came in from outside. When he saw them, he came over and said with a smile: "Ning Yuan! Wu Qi!"
He reached out and put his hand on her shoulder.
Yan Shiyue took two steps forward naturally, and stood on the other side of Chu Ningyuan with a smile. Guo Hao didn't notice anything wrong at all, so he said, "Let me tell you, I recently found a rouge shop, it's very cheap, I bought a box for my wife the day before yesterday, it's been two days, and my wife has been very happy! I'll take you there after I get off work?"
Yan Shiyue shook her head: "No, my wife, he doesn't like rouge."
"You don't like it?" Guo Hao came over and said, "I know a jewelry store..."
"Hey," Yan Shiyue shook his head: "To be honest with you, Brother Guo, my wife only likes swords. Do you know a good weapons shop?"
Chu Ningyuan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He always felt that Yan Shiyue's expression and movements when portraying Wu Qi were flawless.
But in fact, when you really look closely, she never has any physical contact with anyone.
She was short, so it was easy for people to put their hands on her shoulders, but she could always avoid it without making a sound...
As for Xu Wanyang yesterday, he tried to make some moves on her, but she kept asking him questions and dodged him in a perfunctory manner. It made him feel as if just a couple of touches from him and then telling her the news was a tacit agreement between the two parties.
If you really think about it, she asked more boldly and directly when he made the move...it seemed like she knew the kind of lustful man very well.
After Guo Hao left, Chu Ningyuan said to her, "I'm sure she has been through the world of prostitution. To me, she looks like a prostitute who has received special training and has no concept of chastity."
