Hearing this, I looked at Nancy and said, "If someone likes you, you'll like them..."
I haven't finished speaking yet.
Nancy interrupted me, saying, "Your Highness, you're not trying to tell me that someone likes me, are you? I don't like just anyone, and even if someone likes me a lot, I might not like them back..."
That's all.
Before I could say anything, he continued, "What were you busy with the other day? I haven't seen you at all."
"I'm a prince, I have to do something, don't I?"
After I finished speaking, I said to him, "Are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to dinner."
"have!"
Nancy replied.
I invited him to dinner at Fuyunlou that evening.
I have a private room reserved at Fuyunlou all year round, so he knows which room it is without me having to tell him.
night.
When Nancy arrived, she realized I had only invited him: "Why are there just the two of us today?"
"Let it be quieter."
As I spoke, I poured Nancy a cup of tea.
Nancy took a small sip and drank it all in one go, then told me about some things that happened when he went to guard the city gate that day.
Looking at his incessant chatter.
I picked up a pastry and handed it to him: "You've been guarding the city gate for most of the day, aren't you hungry? Here, eat something first."
"Your Highness, you are so kind."
Nancy didn't stand on ceremony and took the food and started eating.
Not long after.
The kitchen started serving the dishes.
I've been friends with Nancy for many years, so I naturally know what she likes to eat. I ordered some of my favorite dishes, and also quite a few of hers.
Perhaps it's because our tastes are quite similar.
He didn't think much of it, assuming that I also liked those dishes.
Would you like some wine?
The reason I asked this was because he had eaten with me so many times, but he had never drunk any alcohol.
Nancy quickly waved her hand.
"No, I won't drink, you drink. Didn't I tell you before that I can't handle alcohol? I have a very low alcohol tolerance, I'd pass out before even half a glass..."
Since he said that, I didn't press him any further.
I was feeling irritable, so I drank more than usual.
Nancy noticed something was wrong with me and reached for the wine jug in front of me: "Don't you know that drinking too much is bad? Stop drinking."
It was the first time I noticed how slender and fair his fingers were.
"Okay, I won't drink it."
I started eating the dishes, and every time I ate a little, I would use the serving chopsticks that were placed to the side to pick up some food for him.
Nancy was used to me doing this, so she didn't think much of it. Seeing that I was putting more food on my plate than usual, she quickly said, "That's enough, that's enough. Stop putting food on my plate. You can eat some yourself."
I wanted to tell him that I liked him, but when I opened my mouth, I couldn't say it.
The days that followed.
We see each other often, and he often treats me to meals.
Not long after.
My mother and the others told me they wanted to have me selected in the imperial concubine selection. Seeing that they were serious, I glanced at them and said, "Mother, please don't worry about me. I don't want to get married right now. If you force me, I'll leave the capital and go out to make my way in the world."
Before they could say anything.
I said again, "Father, you yourself got married late, why force me? Besides, can you bear to let me marry a woman I don't like?"
Li Fengyu said expressionlessly, "Is that what we mean? We just want you to pick and choose, to see if there's anything you like."
"that is."
An Wanwan echoed.
I really wanted to tell them that I had someone I liked, but I didn't dare. First, I was afraid they wouldn't accept it, and second, I was afraid they would do something to Nancy.
"We'll talk about it later."
