Yun Xuan was wearing a dark green robe, with an upright posture, looking like a sanctimonious nobleman.
He looked at Yu Tanqi and whispered, "There are so many people here, could you please invite Miss Yu to sit in a private room?"
"No." Yu Tanqi refused decisively.
The girl lowered her head slightly, her black feather-like eyelashes drooping, covering her eyes. It was clearly a very humble gesture, but Yun Xuan could see her obvious dissatisfaction.
After being stopped by him many times, Yu Tanqi knew that his disguise of being timid and cowardly could no longer hold up, so he simply gave up and spoke in a not very friendly tone.
"Men and women should not touch each other. I don't want to have too much contact with other men. Please speak quickly, Your Highness."
Yunxuan remained silent.
Men and women should not touch each other.
She had said this to him many times.
He wondered, if Jiang Shi was not her fiancé, would she treat Jiang Shi the same way as he did?
He looked at the girl who always lowered her head and eyes in front of him.
The fingers hanging by her side moved slightly, and Yun Xuan wanted to reach out and lift her chin so that she could look at him.
"Why do you always keep your head down and refuse to look at me?" he asked the question again.
The young man's voice was a little hoarse.
Yu Tanqi felt that Yun Xuan was deliberately causing trouble for her. In order to avoid being troubled by him with this question next time, she looked up at him.
Yunxuan's breathing became tight.
The girl's clear and lively eyes were like gems washed by clear water, and his shadow was reflected in the depths of her pupils.
"I see you now, can you let me go?"
But what she said was, as always, something he didn't like to hear.
"Is Miss Yu in a hurry to return to Wu'an Marquis Mansion?"
"Yes." Otherwise, go back to your hometown in Jining Prefecture?
"Prince Jiang is not here, and Miss Yu is the only one in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion. Don't you feel lonely and bored?"
"I don't think so."
Yu Tanqi frowned slightly, feeling a little impatient.
She didn't want to engage in useless socializing on the street with someone who obviously had bad intentions.
There were many people watching them around, most of them were officials and nobles. It would be really unpleasant if any rumors were spread.
"I am not feeling well, so I will not talk to you any more. I will take my leave now."
She walked past him and tried to leave.
As the two passed each other, Yun Xuan suddenly asked, "Miss Yu, do you still remember the Fourth Princess?"
Yu Tanqi paused.
"You know, the Fourth Princess approached you with ill intentions from the beginning."
Yun Xuan looked at the girl's fair and soft profile, and whispered with an expectation that she herself didn't know existed, "She wants your fiancé, so she framed you again and again. Not only does she want to destroy your innocence, she wants your life too."
"She is gone, Your Highness, why bother mentioning her to me?"
"Do you know why she died?"
Yu Tanqi pursed her lips and said, "The cause of the Fourth Princess' death is known to everyone in the capital."
Yun Xuan chuckled: "That's not the real cause of her death."
He suddenly approached Yu Tanqi and whispered in her ear: "She died because she wanted you to die."
Yu Tanqi's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly distanced himself from him.
Yun Xuan looked at her evasive expression and actions, his eyes dimmed slightly.
"Prince Jiang is a gentle and kind person. He treats everyone equally and has a bit of compassion. Even when facing the Fourth Princess, who clearly has other feelings for him, he still treats her with courtesy."
"Such tenderness gives the Fourth Princess hope, but it will hurt those around her. Miss Yu, don't you think that with Prince Jiang's temperament, he's not suitable to be your fiancé?"
"A man with a fiancée should reject all advances from other women, so as not to upset his fiancée."
These words sound very reasonable. If someone doesn't know the truth, they might be deceived by Yun Xuan.
But Yu Tanqi understood Jiang Shi's character and trusted him very much, so how could he be easily provoked by Yun Xuan?
As expected of a villain, he even tried to brainwash her to make her suspicious of Jiang Shi and alienate them, but this trick didn't work on her.
"I don't know what Your Highness is talking about. I'm really not feeling well. Please forgive me. I'll take my leave."
Yu Tanqi was afraid that Yun Xuan would stop her again, so she lifted her skirt and almost trotted towards the carriage.
Yun Xuan watched her leave impatiently and did not stop her this time.
Until the hem of her red skirt completely disappeared from sight, Yun Xuan still did not look away, and just watched the carriage of Wu'an Marquis Mansion gradually leave.
The people around him looked at him and whispered, but he ignored them.
The young man's ink-black long hair was blown by the autumn wind, and a fallen leaf floated in front of him. His eyes were calm and deep, but inexplicably made people feel lonely.
After the autumn examination, the spring examination begins.
Yunxuan thought casually.
Jiang Shi wanted to marry Yu Tanqi after passing the imperial examination, but how could he get what he wanted?
…
Yu Tanqi sat in the carriage, feeling a little uneasy.
Linlang and Taohua were sitting nearby, also frowning.
Linlang: "Why does Prince Yun always appear in front of Miss suddenly recently, and say things that are not true? What does he want to do?"
Taohua said boldly: "Is he interested in the young lady?"
Yu Tanqi was almost scared to death by these words.
"Taohua, don't make random guesses, this is impossible!" She quickly retorted with a serious face.
"King Yun is not as simple as you think. No one of you is allowed to say anything like that again."
Tao Hua quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "I know I was wrong, and I will never make random guesses again next time."
Linlang also made assurances, but she also had doubts in her heart.
