"When Shu'er recovers from her illness, I will bring her back to the capital."
Yu Tanqi naturally knew what Yun Xuan meant by "recovering from illness".
She didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she bowed and walked around him. "My father is still waiting for me, so I'll take my leave now."
She moved out of Yu Shangheng's house because she didn't believe Yun Xuan was so bold as to stop her from leaving.
Yu Shangheng, as the second-rank governor of the river, recently came to Beijing to meet the emperor to report on government affairs. Countless eyes in the entire capital were staring at him.
Yun Xuan has already been suspected by the emperor, so he has to be extremely cautious at this time. If the emperor catches him, he will definitely order the death penalty and the extermination of his entire family.
Yun Xuan knew very well how cruel and heartless the emperor was.
He looked at the girl's slender figure and his eyes darkened.
"Miss Yu, you only have one life. You should live for yourself, instead of just following the rules and living a numb and painful life."
Yu Tanqi paused and frowned slightly.
What does he mean?
Why couldn't she understand what he was saying?
Yu Tanqi didn't turn around, but said calmly: "Your Highness should say this to yourself."
Yun Xuan's voice sank slightly. "Could it be that the affection between childhood sweethearts is not as important to Miss Yu as the betrothal agreement?"
Yu Tanqi wanted to turn around and shout, "What's it to you? Mind your own business."
However, her status as a noble lady prevented her from saying such rude words to a prince.
She could only suppress her displeasure and tried to calmly say, "I don't know what Your Highness is talking about. Men and women shouldn't touch each other in public. Please respect yourself, Your Highness."
Stop talking loudly to her behind her back; she's afraid of being watched.
Yu Tanqi quickened his pace and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he no longer heard Yun Xuan's voice.
Yun Xuan watched quietly as Yu Tanqi's figure disappeared from his sight.
She walked quickly, afraid that he would stop her again.
Yun Xuan suddenly chuckled.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. When he learned that she had finally left the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, he led his horse and rode over alone.
The girl under the apricot blossoms is soft and tender, with rosy cheeks, even more beautiful than the apricot blossoms blooming on the branches.
Yun Xuan came to the wall covered with apricot blossoms where Yu Tanqi had stood before.
He looked at the apricot blossoms on the wall, but what came to his mind was the cute image of a girl tilting her pink and white face up, trying to pick the apricot blossoms from the high wall.
The young man's crimson lips were pressed into a straight line, his Adam's apple rolled, and his long eyelashes drooped, hiding the emotions surging in his eyes.
Suddenly, a strange sight appeared in his eyes.
A few beautiful little flowers actually grew on a wooden stump that had its trunk cut and should have been dry.
Small white, blue and purple flowers bloom quietly in the corners where no one cares.
A dead tree comes back to life with spring.
Yun Xuan suddenly thought of this sentence.
His eyes flashed slightly, and he squatted down, broke off the dead wood with tricolor flowers, and held it tightly in his palm.
…
Only after Yu Tanqi returned to the house did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Yun Xuan would never come here.
Yu Shangheng seemed to have finished talking with Jiang Shi at this time, and the two walked towards Yu Tanqi one after the other.
Yu Shangheng looked at Yu Tanqi and said, "You and I haven't seen each other for many years. You should live with me while I'm in the capital."
Yu Tanqi was very surprised, but did not dare to refute and could only agree in a low voice.
After a pause, she said softly, "My things are all in Wu'an Marquis Mansion. I have to go back and get some daily necessities."
Yu Shangheng looked at his daughter's obedient appearance and was quite satisfied. "Just let Linlang take someone to get it. I have something to tell you."
It turned out to be her turn.
Yu Tanqi felt inexplicably nervous again.
"It's getting late, let's have lunch first."
Every time Yu Shangheng went to Kyoto, he would bring the chef from the mansion with him. One reason was that he didn't want to waste time looking for a chef, and the other was to prevent someone with ulterior motives from poisoning him.
No matter when and where, you can feel at ease only when it is used by your own people.
He taught Yu Tanqi this since he was a child, and Yu Tanqi has always remembered it.
Yu Shangheng looked at Yu Tanqi and asked, "You're in good health now, so I guess there's nothing you can't eat, right?"
Yu Tanqi nodded gently: "Yeah, I also want to eat home-cooked food."
Yu Shangheng said, "Then let Lao Zhang cook a few dishes that you liked when you were little."
After a pause, he looked at Jiang Shi and asked, "Is there any food that Prince Jiang is not eating?"
Jiang Shi smiled softly and shook his head: "There is no dish that this junior cannot eat."
"That's good."
Yu Shangheng is actually from the south. The Yu family is also a scholarly family in the local area. He is the third son in the family. He has been smart since childhood. After going to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he won the third place in the imperial examination. In the end, he went to take up his post alone and rarely returned to his hometown. There were only a few children born in his hometown who were with him.
Uncle Yu and Chef Zhang, who was brought to the capital this time, are both family-born children.
Because the climate in the south is humid, southerners tend to have a heavier taste, and most dishes are spicy and salty.
After Xie Lin married Yu Shangheng, she was weak and couldn't eat heavy-flavored food. Yu Shangheng accommodated her and also ate light food.
Later, a doctor told Xie Lin that eating spicy food could dispel the coldness in her body. Xie Lin then asked Chef Zhang to make more of Yu Shangheng's favorite hometown dishes and ate spicy food with him.
Before Xie Lin passed away, she said to Yu Shangheng: "After I die, you can eat whatever you want. Live happily and don't be sad for me all the time. Otherwise, I will be worried about you even in my grave."
Yu Shangheng listened to his wife very much. After she passed away, he asked Chef Zhang to cook southern dishes all day long.
He always brings his own food every time he goes to Kyoto.
