uninvited guest
Only others can avoid it and keep it out.
There is a distinguished guest, but I cannot refuse him directly.
Qin Yuyao waved her hand, signaling the maids serving tea to leave. Jin Yu also pulled Qing Yu along with her and retreated from the flower hall to the outermost area.
Although it was a bit far, they could rush in immediately as long as Qin Yuyao called them. They didn't have such a strong hostility towards this princess from the grassland.
However, at the palace banquet, he repeatedly expressed his willingness to share a husband with Qin Yuyao, which really made the two of them a little annoyed.
Princess Shengyang waved her hand, and the maidservants behind her also retreated. Then she looked subtly at Qin Yuyao, the Princess of Zhen'an who was rumored to be much loved by Prince Zhen'an.
"Princess Shengyang, I wonder why you came here today?" Qin Yuyao spoke slowly and calmly, without any anger or panic as she had shown a few days ago when someone asked her husband in public whether he could accept a concubine.
Princess Shengyang was a little surprised that Qin Yuyao would speak so directly. She nodded immediately and said helplessly, "Princess Zhen'an, there's no need to be so nervous. I just thought we were neighbors now, so I came to visit."
This sounded a bit strange. Qin Yuyao blinked, feeling a bit puzzled. "If Princess Shengyang had been paying attention, she would have known that Luan Zhengya was out on an important matter today and was not in the mansion."
The implication is that there is nothing to talk about with her.
These words were a bit rude, but Princess Shengyang smiled and said, "I'm not looking for him. I came here specifically to see you today."
Princess Shengyang was also a beauty; it was hard to forget her face once you'd seen her. At this moment, her narrow, long, almond-shaped eyes tilted upwards, and she looked at Qin Yuyao with a teasing expression.
"Before coming here, I thought women from Sheng Country should all be shy or dignified. But Miss Yuyao is very different. Her eyes are as bright as the moon on the grassland." Sheng Yang said, and simply raised his right hand to stare at Qin Yuyao.
At the palace banquet, she nearly stepped on her face, but Qin Yuyao simply looked back at her with a calm expression. Even after Luan Zhengya rejected her, she didn't show much joy.
Even if she really moved next door, she didn't make any move to inquire about it, and no one even came to inquire.
Princess Shengyang nodded repeatedly at this thought. After a long pause, just before Qin Yuyao almost stood up, she said, "The palace banquet was a special occasion. This was done to build rapprochement between the two countries. It was also to seek support. I had thought that if I married Luan Zhengya, this status would help me return to the grasslands. But now I have to make other plans."
Qin Yuyao was stunned and her eyes widened slightly. She had never expected Princess Shengyang to tell her such things, and the contents were even considered confidential.
Qin Yuyao placed her right hand lightly on the armrest, her fingertips turning slightly white. Then she whispered, "Princess Shengyang, why are you telling me all this? If you want me to pass on a message to Luan Zhengya, I will tell him everything when he comes back in the evening."
In front of her, no matter how many little thoughts Princess Shengyang had, they should be reduced by half. Thinking of this, Qin Yuyao lowered her eyes slightly and drank most of the tea in front of her.
Princess Shengyang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Ah, I really envy Luan Zhengya. Having a wife as interesting as you makes this matter so simple."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Shengyang took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to the coffee table next to Qin Yuyao with a smile on her face.
"All the important matters are written in it. Luan Zhengya will know when she sees it." After saying that, Princess Shengyang stood up, took half a step forward and approached Qin Yuyao, and was about to speak.
Qin Yuyao didn't expect that Princess Shengyang was so brave. The distance between them was less than half a hand. Qin Yuyao subconsciously wanted to stand up.
Although she didn't know what the other party wanted to do to her, the defensive feeling in her heart made Qin Yuyao stand up suddenly and subconsciously push Princess Shengyang away.
Princess Shengyang was caught off guard and was pushed half a meter away. She was a little surprised. She had been riding horses on the grasslands for years, and even some grassland warriors would be defeated in a competition with her.
Who would have thought that the daughter of the Right Prime Minister from Shengjing would be as good as her? Sheng Yang couldn't help but take another step forward, his interest growing stronger.
"Sheng Yang." A familiar voice sounded from outside the flower hall. Behind Luan Zhengya followed two men dressed as deputy generals. One of them was Xiao Chengjing, who politely declined the emperor's marriage proposal at the palace banquet.
The two of them naturally followed Luan Zhengya in watching what had just happened. They looked at each other with some surprise and a sense of absurdity.
Qin Yuyao heard the voice and took two steps at a time, hiding beside Luan Zhengya in the blink of an eye. Luan Zhengya also stretched out her right hand and protected Qin Yuyao under her arm.
Looking at Princess Shengyang in the center of the flower hall, his eyes were filled with murderous intent: "I didn't know Princess Shengyang would take advantage of others' misfortune? If it was something important, she could have sent a visiting card in advance. Why did she come directly to my house?"
As he spoke, Luan Zhengya looked down at Qin Yuyao and saw that she was safe and sound. He also saw the surprise on Qin Yuyao's face gradually disappear.
Then he said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what's the matter." As he spoke, he took Qin Yuyao to sit on the side. Luan Zhengya waved her hand and asked the maids to clear away all the things from the seat where the two of them had just sat.
Princess Shengyang curled her lips in boredom upon seeing this, then said, "Originally, I thought you hadn't returned yet, so I wrote you a letter. Now that you've happened to be back, I'll tell you straight away."
After a pause, Princess Shengyang turned her beautiful eyes to look at Qin Yuyao and smiled gently. Even though Luan Zhengya was staring at her eagerly, she still cast a coquettish glance at Qin Yuyao.
Qin Yuyao's eyes suddenly widened. Could it be that this was really what she thought? Thinking of this, Qin Yuyao subconsciously looked at Luan Zhengya. She also heard that these two people must be familiar with each other, otherwise they wouldn't be so blunt.
But Princess Shengyang's words and actions really confused Qin Yuyao. Looking at the two deputy generals sitting opposite her, they all looked calm, as if she was the only one who was not calm.
At this time, Princess Shengyang smiled and said, "Luan Zhengya, your princess is so adorable that I can't bear to bully her. Oh, what a pity."
The voice that was soft and gentle just now suddenly changed to a magnetic male voice. As this changed, Xiao Chengjing on the opposite side suddenly coughed: "Shengyue, when you change back, can you say hello?"
Xiao Chengjing wiped his mouth with some resentment, and continued to pour himself a full cup of tea and drink it.
Qin Yuyao blinked. Hearing this, she finally understood that this Princess Shengyang wasn't actually a princess. Instead, she was a man named Shengyue?!
At this time, Qin Yuyao looked at this "Princess Shengyang" again and found that this princess was about the same height as Luan Zhengya, but the pearls and jade on her head and the voice she spoke just now were indeed extremely confusing.
Looking at his appearance again, one can already imagine how beautiful the real Princess Shengyue must be.
Luan Zhengya gave Shengyue a warning look before whispering to Qin Yuyao, "Princess Shengyue is still on the grassland. Shengyue is her brother, born of the same mother. They are twins, a boy and a girl. It's difficult to tell them apart unless you're close to them."
After a pause, Luan Zhengya put her arm around Qin Yuyao's shoulders and said, "Princess Shengyang is now staying on the grassland to compete with her uncles for the throne. Shengyue has been here to present the map. I learned this voice-changing technique since I was a child, so I can impersonate Princess Shengyang without anyone noticing."
Although he was clearly talking about his own affairs, Sheng Yue continued to sit next to Qin Yuyao calmly: "What's the point of listening to him? I know my own affairs better than he does..."
Before Sheng Yue could finish her words, she noticed Luan Zhengya glanced at her lightly and immediately stopped talking.
"Then Princess Shengyang specifically asked to move here so that she could discuss important matters with you more conveniently?" Qin Yuyao raised her head and looked at Luan Zhengya.
Hearing this, Sheng Yue wanted to interrupt. In the blink of an eye, she smiled awkwardly and started drinking from her teacup.
"Yes, my lady, please keep this matter secret. Just pretend that Princess Shengyang really came to Prince Zhen'an's mansion to cause trouble for you. Just act it out to the outside world so that people will think that Princess Shengyang is still trying to pursue Prince Zhen'an." At the end, Luan Zhengya reached out and held Qin Yuyao's hand.
A pair of deep eyes looked at Qin Yuyao steadily, as if trying to read something from her eyes. Seeing that Qin Yuyao didn't speak, he grabbed her hand and shook it again.
Completely ignoring the presence of three living people, Qin Yuyao's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but mutter, "Today I only knew that Princess Shengyang came to visit, and I didn't know there was anyone else."
After saying this, Qin Yuyao stood up and nodded slightly to Xiao Chengjing, Sheng Yue and the other two before saying, "Since the prince has important matters to discuss with you, I will go back to the courtyard. The shop's account books have not been settled yet."
Luan Zhengya was helpless. She had no intention of avoiding her, but now that she had spoken, if she stayed, she might not be used to it.
Nodding, Luan Zhengya said softly, "It's still early. I'll go back later to have dinner with you."
Soon, Qin Yuyao's mouth curled up, obviously she was happy. Luan Zhengya finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had always felt that she was in a bad mood, but now she felt relieved to see her smile.
As soon as Qin Yuyao came out of the flower hall, Jin Yu came up to her and said, "Miss." As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced behind her, only to find that only her own young lady had come out.
Princess Shengyang actually stayed inside. Although there were two deputy generals inside, she only let her own daughter come out. Jin Yu was puzzled.
Seeing Jin Yu's frown, Qin Yuyao smiled slightly, knowing that she was mistaken. However, she couldn't tell her the reason directly, so she patted Jin Yu's shoulder to reassure her.
The young lady wasn't angry at all? Jin Yu, who was comforted, was puzzled, but she always agreed with everything Qin Yuyao did, so she didn't say anything else.
Caring about the young lady and the prince is also for the young lady's happiness. If the young lady doesn't say it, she naturally won't ask.
