Ning Yunqi's smile deepened as she lowered her head to face Ye Jinsu. "Then we'll have to see if Miss Ye wants it or not."
A trace of disgust flashed past Ye Jinsu's eyes. Ning Yunqi had leaned too close to her.
She quietly got up and put some distance between herself and Ning Yunqi. When she turned her head, her brows were knitted in an inaudible frown. She then spoke with certainty, "Of course I want it!"
"But I feel that Ning Wang seems to have a better chance of winning?"
Ning Yunqi laughed even louder. "Then why did you come here today?"
Ye Jinxiu turned her head to look at him and smiled.
"That's because I feel that things can go even more smoothly with His Highness the king of Qi …"
"This is really embarrassing." Ye Jinsu sat down with a vexed expression.
"Your Highness, how do you think I should choose?" Ye Jinsu opened her eyes and looked at him with an innocent look.
"Miss Ye is a smart person, a smart person naturally knows what to choose."
Ye Jinsu smiled and stood up.
"There are times when intelligent people can't be as smart as you think. It would be better for someone like me who isn't intelligent to go back and think about it. Perhaps, I will know what to choose." After saying that, Ye Jinsu stood up and walked out of the room.
Ning Yunqi didn't say a word as she sat on her seat and silently drank her wine.
However, the moment Ye Jinsu walked to the door and opened it, the two men standing outside immediately took out their swords and sabers.
Ye Jinsu stopped at the door.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by that?"
Ning Yunqi sat motionlessly as he looked at Ye Jinsu's back. He smiled and spoke with a relaxed tone, "It's not easy to make a trip here. How can you leave so early? If you don't accompany this king for a drink? "
Finished speaking, Ning Yunqi stepped down from the box and carried Ye Jinsha back, closing the door behind her.
Ning Yunqi's strength was a bit too great for her to handle. Ye Jinsu fell to the ground from his pull, looking a bit panicked.
"Since Miss Ye is a smart person, how about you understand it now?"
Ning Yunqi looked at Ye Jinsu who was on the ground and squatted down. He reached out his hand to stroke Ye Jinsu's hair.
Ye Jinsu reflexively avoided it. He frowned slightly and said with a stern voice, "Prince Qi is forcing me?"
Ning Yunqi stood up and laughed a few times, as if he was laughing at Ye Jinsu's naivety.
"Since you're here, do you think you can escape?"
Ye Jinxiu closed her eyes and clenched her hands into fists, showing a slightly annoyed expression.
The room was silent for a long time. Ning Yunqi sat at the side, pouring wine and eating. It seemed that she was giving Ye Jinxiu some time to consider.
"What do you think, Miss Ye?" Ning Yunqi looked at Ye Jinsu and asked at a moderate pace.
Ye Jinsu glanced at him and seemed to have made up her mind. She stood up and said, "I hope His Highness the Prince of Qi will not disappoint me."
Ning Yunqi smiled and clapped her hands a few times, seeming to be cheering.
"I hope Miss Ye will not disappoint me." After saying that, Ning Yunqi raised his glass towards Ye Jinsu, as if he wanted to toast her.
However, Ye Jinsu only glanced at the wine cup in front of her and didn't pick it up. She looked at Ning Yunqi and spoke. "If I remember correctly, some barbarians have recently infiltrated the capital. Has the Emperor handed this matter over to His Highness?"
Ning Yunqi didn't seem to be very interested in her words, but seeing that Ye Jinsu wasn't going to toast him, he put down his wine cup with some regret. Sighing, he started to answer Ye Jinsu's question, "Does Miss Ye have any good methods to deal with this?"
The matter of the barbarians sneaking into the capital was a small matter. If they were to secretly stir up trouble, it would certainly cause a great deal of harm.
Therefore, if this matter was handled well, Ning Yunqi's position in front of the emperor would be even higher.
Ye Jinsu smiled and spoke carelessly, "This is an important matter. I've only heard one or two words from His Highness King Ning."
"It's just a little bit of the superficial knowledge of women, I'm afraid it won't enter the eyes of Prince Qi."
After saying that, Ye Jinsu stood up and walked towards Ning Yunqi.
She bent her body slightly towards Ning Yunqi's ear, her lips slightly parted.
The room was silent, with only a few faint sounds of breathing.
After saying that, Ye Jinsu stood up with a smile, "I wonder if His Highness is satisfied with this greeting gift?"
Ning Yunqi looked at Ye Jinsu, and the expression in his eyes deepened, but the smile on his face grew even more pronounced.
"Then I will wait for Miss Ye's good voice." Ning Yunqi raised her glass and emptied it.
Seeing that Ye Jinxiu still had not touched her glass of wine, Ning Yunqi smiled at her and asked, "What? Are you afraid that I'll poison it?"
Ye Jinsu didn't say anything and just looked outside.
There was a bit of noise coming from outside.
According to the instructions from before, Little Red was already causing trouble outside.
Ye Jinxiu stood up and glanced at the private box's door, "Can I go out now?"
"My young maid is probably waiting anxiously outside." Ye Jinsu said as if she was referring to something.
Ning Yunqi didn't say a word. He only looked at Ye Jinsu, his gaze clear and unable to refute her. Finally, he extended his hand in the direction of the door, indicating that Ye Jinsu could go out.
Sure enough, Little Red was making a ruckus outside. She was dragged to another box and waited for a long time, but still didn't see Ye Jinsu come out. According to the orders, Little Red directly shouted that she wanted to go in to look for someone.
Ye Jinsu pushed open the door and walked out. She frowned as she looked at Xiao Hong, who was being driven by a group of people. She pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you making such a ruckus? I've only exchanged a few words with His Highness, what are you so anxious for!"
Xiao Hong lowered its head and fearfully said, "This servant is worried about Miss …"
"What are you worried about? Will the Prince of Qi still be able to eat me?" Ye Jinsu laughed lightly and turned to look at Ning Yunqi before turning to leave.
Ning Yunqi was still sitting there. She reached out her hand to pour herself another glass of wine. When she saw Ye Jinsu turn around, she raised her glass and toasted her.
There seemed to be some regret on his face. He couldn't drink with Ye Jinsu.
In the carriage, Ye Jinsu's expression returned to normal. She leaned against the window and lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
Xiao Hong sat at the side and pulled on Ye Jinsu's sleeves as she asked nervously, "Miss, what did the Prince of Qi say to you? He didn't do anything to you, did he? "
To let a sword be taken after entering and not bring a maid along, this was just too frightening.
Fortunately, they had already agreed that if Ye Jinsu hadn't come out after so long, Little Red would cause trouble outside.
Ye Jinsu shook her head, "It's fine. He won't do anything to me."
She raised her head and thought back to Ning Yunqi's appearance, thinking to herself.
Did he believe her?
With her goal in mind, she naturally could not reveal it too clearly. She had to pretend that she was trying to dissuade him. Ning Yunqi had also confessed to his intentions. If he hadn't been pulled over, it would have been too risky to let him out.
This feast seemed to be held regularly in Ning Yunqi's hands, but every movement and movement of this feast was deeply imprinted into Ye Jinsu's heart.
He just didn't know if he would actually do as he said.
