Yu Tanqi could naturally feel that Yu Shangheng always looked at her with a dazed look in his eyes.
Her father was a deeply infatuated man and had been thinking about her mother who unfortunately passed away at an early age for many years.
But she always felt that in addition to nostalgia, Yu Shangheng's eyes when he looked at her also contained a hint of indescribable emotion.
Yu Tanqi's heart tightened and he looked up at Yu Shangheng.
Yu Shangheng regained his composure, looked at her and said with emotion, "It's been nearly six years since we last met. In the blink of an eye, you've grown into a big girl."
Yu Tanqi curved her lips and smiled, looking very cute and adorable.
Although she had been looking forward to seeing her father, when she finally saw him, she didn't know what to say.
There was an obvious atmosphere of alienation between the parents who had not seen each other for many years.
Yu Shangheng vaguely remembered the time when he sent his daughter away. At that time, she was even thinner than she is now, and her eyes were full of reluctance and sadness when she looked at him. However, he still resolutely decided to send her to the Xie family in Chenjun.
He didn't even send her off in person, but just asked the guards to escort her all the way to the Xie family in Chenjun.
She didn't cry or make a fuss along the way, and was very well-behaved and obedient. She never resisted his decision, nor did she tell him that she wanted to go home.
Yu Shangheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Tan Qi, I have something to say to Prince Jiang. Go find Butler Yu first and ask him to show you around."
"Okay." Yu Tanqi nodded obediently, and looked at Jiang Shi worriedly when he stood up.
Jiang Shi smiled and shook his head at her, indicating that she didn't need to worry about him.
Yu Tanqi also felt that nothing could stump Jiang Shi, so he followed Uncle Yu away with peace of mind.
"Your Excellency and Prince Jiang will have a long conversation, and this house is too small. Let me take the young lady for a walk outside," said Uncle Yu.
Naturally, Yu Tanqi couldn't refuse, so he followed Uncle Yu out of the house.
As they walked, Uncle Yu casually asked, "Miss, how have you been in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion these past two years? Is Prince Jiang treating you well?"
He looked at Yu Tanqi, not missing a single change in her expression.
As a servant of the Yu family, Uncle Yu watched Yu Tanqi grow up. He regarded her as a junior in his heart and naturally cared about her lifelong affairs.
When Yu Shangheng was investigating Jiang Shi alone, he first sounded out Yu Tanqi's attitude to see if she was really willing to fulfill her engagement with Jiang Shi.
"I live very well in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, and the prince treats me very well." Yu Tanqi said this sincerely.
Uncle Yu asked again, "I heard that the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion only has one owner, Prince Jiang, and not many servants. Are there any ignorant servants that bother the young lady? Are you comfortable and used to living in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?"
"Although there are not many servants in the Marquis' Mansion, they are all loyal and capable. There are no ignorant servants. I live very comfortably." Yu Tanqi answered everything.
Outside the courtyard is a deep alley. Since most of the people living here are scholars, it is quite quiet and there are only a few passers-by walking outside.
Pink apricot blossoms climbed out from the top of the wall, the shadows of the flowers swayed, like brocade and clouds, emitting a faint fragrance.
Yu Tanqi stopped at the top of the wall to admire the red apricots growing out of the wall. As he admired them, he felt itchy and wanted to break off some branches and take them home to put in a vase.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of horse hooves and looked up casually.
The young man was wearing a dark green robe and leading a brown horse, with gorgeous peach blossoms blooming behind him.
Although he was surrounded by a spring scene full of flowers, he had an innate, deep and suppressed loneliness.
Yu Tanqi almost thought he was seeing things. How could Yun Xuan suddenly appear here?
She blinked hard, and when she found that he had not disappeared, she immediately turned around and was about to leave.
"Ms. Yu, please wait a moment." Yun Xuan opened his mouth and tried to call her.
Yu Tanqi refused to listen and kept walking.
Uncle Yu looked at the handsome young man who was following closely behind him, leading a horse, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Who is he? Why doesn't the young lady want to talk to him?"
Yu Tanqi also replied in a low voice: "He is the Prince of Yun. Men and women should not be intimate with each other. I am not familiar with him, so I don't want to talk to him."
In fact, he was afraid that he would fall into Yunxuan's trap by accident.
Don't underestimate the villain's abilities.
Yu Tanqi always felt that Yun Xuan might kidnap her at any time and use her to threaten Jiang Shi.
Whether it is a male-oriented or female-oriented novel, the author likes to use this routine, so she has to be on guard.
Uncle Yu hesitated to speak.
What Yu Tanqi said made sense, but Yun Xuan's behavior of following closely behind her didn't seem like he was unfamiliar with her.
Yun Xuan rode his horse and quickly stood in front of Yu Tanqi.
The young man sat on the horse, staring at her with his eyes downcast, and whispered: "Miss Yu, don't be nervous. I just want to say a few words to you."
Yu Tanqi lowered his head, his tone calm and cold: "I don't think there is anything that can be discussed between the prince and me."
She always does.
Yun Xuan gripped the horse's reins tightly and bit the soft flesh on her lips, with a resentment and anger that she herself was not aware of.
The pain cleared his mind, he jumped off the horse and slowly walked to Yu Tanqi.
Yu Tanqi quickly stepped back.
Dan Hua stood in front of Yu Tanqi and looked at Yun Xuan with a vigilant expression.
Yun Xuan didn't move forward. He just looked at Yu Tanqi, who lowered her head and didn't want to look at him, and whispered, "Since you came to the capital, you rarely leave the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. You stay alone in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion all day. Are you really happy?"
Yu Tanqi frowned slightly, feeling a little strange. Yun Xuan suddenly ran over just to tell her this?
"Your Highness is wrong. I am not alone in the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion. There are many people accompanying me, including the Crown Prince. How could I not be happy?"
"Besides the servants, who else is there in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion? Don't you want to have fun with other girls your own age? Jiang Shi has to go to the Imperial College to study during the day, so he doesn't have much time to spend with you, but he doesn't allow you to go out. He's confining you to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion like this. He's not really sincere to you at all."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Tanqi was a little unhappy, and his voice turned completely cold. "What happens to us doesn't seem to be any of the prince's business, right?"
Yun Xuan continued with the same rhetoric: "My sister asked me to look after you before she left the capital. Naturally, I don't want you to be trapped in the Wu'an Marquis's mansion by Jiang Shi and waste your life. You are in the best years of your life now. You should get out more often, see the scenery, and make more friends."
Yu Tanqi found it very funny: "How could I not know? When did I become a close friend of the prince's sister, Princess Yunshu? Instead of worrying about me, your Highness should worry more about Princess Yunshu. She has been sent to Jiangnan to recuperate for more than a year, and I don't know when you will let her return to the capital."
Her tone was somewhat sarcastic in the last sentence.
Yun Xuan remained calm, staring at Yu Tanqi with his narrow and deep eyes, not hiding his little thoughts about her.
