"No way, but I've been feeling a bit dizzy recently." Yu Yan facepalmed herself, then said softly: "Perhaps I didn't sleep well tonight, why don't you make me some food to drink?"
"Alright." Nian En nodded her head and accepted the comb in her hands, gently stroking her hair, then said softly: "The Empress usually dresses up a bit, and is always so simple and clean."
"For whom?" Yu Yan asked, disappointed.
"My prince, the reason why I'm angry is because the prince likes you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated you well if he was angry. Otherwise, I would have died a long time ago." Nian En said softly.
"You think so? You think he likes me too? " Yu Yan turned her head and asked her softly.
"Yeah, Nian An thinks the same. Look, they all think the same."
Yu Yan was silent for a moment, then whispered: "But what does he think?"
"The Empress can ask him." Nian En tied up her hair and picked a gold hairpin to save it for her. She also put on a pair of gold flower leaves and pearl earrings for her.
"I'm not going out, why would I wear this?"
Yu Yan shook her head, the pair of earrings lightly shook, shining all over her eyes.
"If you don't want to go out and wear it, show it to yourself. The Empress said that a person's life is to please themselves, so why is the Empress trying to take advantage now?" These days, the Empress had been depressed and couldn't sleep, but when the prince arrived last night, the Empress had been happy, and the Empress …
"I haven't finished reading this book." Yu Yan stood up and took the book out.
Nian En did not persuade her anymore, and continued to persuade her. Yu Yan had to say that she was tired and was about to sleep.
After living with Yu Yan for so many years, Nian En knew very well that she was not a man who could support her family. If you tell her these things about love, she will turn her attention to him and never talk to you again.
However, she was a girl after all. How could she treat herself as a man? It was tiring for Yu Yan to support three people in the next few years. Nian En hoped that she would live a lighter, richer, more comfortable life.
Nian En could not understand, if other women had this duke's love, they would have already pounced on them, why would they retreat?
— —
It was dark.
Yu Yan sent Nian An and Nian En back to their room early, but did not close the door tightly, and looked out the window from time to time. However, it was almost the middle of the night!
She knew who she was waiting for and what she was waiting for, but she felt it was ridiculous and ridiculous. What was the difference between a girl like her, who was so anxious for someone else, and a woman who was competing for a favor?
During the day, Chen Yao and Ye Mingyue would feed him wild fruits. The few of them were so intimate that it was obvious they had feelings for each other. Since Ye Mingyue could accept a man's three wives and four concubines, could it be that she had to accept fate just like them? Just because of a man, she became a crazy woman who worried about her personal gains and losses?
While she was still in a daze, she knocked on the window twice and turned around. He was standing by the window, staring at her with his bright black eyes.
"Yes." Mu Qingli hurriedly retracted her frightening thoughts and lazily snorted.
"Change your clothes and take you kiting." He took her hand and whispered.
Yu Yan was startled, and quickly raised her head to look at him … She said last night that he wanted to fly a kite, so he took her there today? But it was already the middle of the night, if he didn't sleep, would he still not let her sleep? Why are you still flying a kite at this time? She was purely here to torture her!
"Hurry up and change your clothes. Wear thicker clothes, and the wind will be stronger tonight." He pushed her again and said softly.
Yu Yan became even more melancholy, what was he doing? Was it the same with other women? No wonder those people were so obsessed with him. She had done these kinds of things many times, right?
"What are you daydreaming for?" He grimaced slightly and squeezed her cold little hand.
"I don't want to go." Yu Yan reacted and shook her head vigorously.
Hurry up and change your clothes. If you don't, I'll help you change. Impatient, he threw her hand inside and snapped.
Yu Yan knelt up, slammed the window heavily, jumped off the imperial concubine's bed, and ran towards the wardrobe.
Wear what? She rummaged through the closet, her eyes fixed on a long, yellowish dress with a new lotus on the hem and pearls of dew. Last time, Steward Fu called over a servant from the palace's clothing department to help her choose a style. She casually chose this item and only after she finished it did she realize that the dewdrops were made from pearls and were extremely beautiful.
After a moment's hesitation, she changed into a long skirt and walked over to the bronze mirror. The candlelight was too dim. Inside the copper mirror, a figure could be seen, its features obscured.
The window suddenly opened, and Yu Yan quickly turned around. He peeked through the window with her upper body, and just as he was looking in her direction, her eyes met hers, and her long eyebrows furrowed for a moment before slowly opening.
"This isn't good, I'll change it again." Yu Yan was suddenly angry, she was only wearing a new dress, why was he frowning and glaring at her? Was it that ugly? She raised a hand to cover the birthmark on her forehead and glared at him. "Go away, don't look at it there."
"Yu Yan, who gave you the guts to make such a ruckus?" He stared at her.
You're the dog... You're still sleeping with me in your arms! Yu Yan did not curse out loud. She only roared in her heart, and then bit her lips, and decided that she would not change clothes. Sick to death, the diaphragm should kill him!
It was still the same hairstyle that Nian En gave her in the afternoon. She did not take out the golden hairpin or the earrings, she obviously wanted to wait for to see them, but now she felt that these things were too annoying.
"Don't you have a cloak?" He pushed open the door and asked in a low voice.
"No, no one gave me a brocade robe, and no one gave me a peony skirt either." Yu Yan said coldly, and quickly walked to the side of the bed.
"Why are you throwing a tantrum for no reason? And you want me to coax you? " His face darkened as he stared at her back.
"I don't know how to treat my wounds, and I can't accompany you for two to three years, so why are you coaxing me?" Kill him with a random stick and you'll be done with it. " Yu Yan did not even look back as she bent over to touch the bed.
She also had a hidden tunnel here. She just didn't know how to turn the switch, how to turn it, which way to turn it, or if she twisted it incorrectly, would there be tens of thousands of arrows piercing her heart? This cunning Yulixiao, who had dug so many tunnels under the Duke Palaces, wasn't he still a person who was afraid of death!
Yulixiao's expression on the other hand, slowly turned better as he moved behind her, lowering his head to look at her, then forcefully slapped her buttocks.
Ah!" Yu Yan jumped up, clutching her butt in pain.
"Get out of the way." As he slowly spoke, he rolled his sleeves and touched the right corner of the bed. Before Yu Yan could see clearly, the tunnel entrance slowly appeared in front of them.
"Come here." He held out his hand to her.
Yu Yan also thought that since she had become a fatty, she would be able to squash him later. She slammed her hand into his palm, her face cold, and jumped down.
"Hey!" Yulixiao was shocked, he immediately jumped down and carried her to the ground.
"What on earth is your temper?" He pressed her into his arms and whispered, "You still dare to make me look at your face? "Then don't go, I'll make you cry again later …"
"You …" Yu Yan had been stabbed, and she had surrounded him during the day to feed him that red fruit. He was so happy, yet at night she came here to mock him?
She pursed her lips and slowly calmed down. After lowering her head for a while, she turned to the side to blessing herself. Looking in the direction of the secret passage, she softly said, "Your Highness, please."
In fact, Yulixiao would rather see her angry expression than see her cold expression, which was swiftly retracting back into its shell.
He frowned at her, and the dim light in the tunnel dimmed. Half her body was in shadow, and her face was expressionless. After looking for a while, Yulixiao started walking forward, with Yu Yan following behind him slowly. His figure leaned against the blue stone wall, and the cold, wet air on both sides of him pounced on her.
After walking a while, he suddenly extended his hand out behind him. Without waiting for Yu Yan's reaction, he grabbed her hand and lightly pulled her hand forward, pulling her along like this.
His palm was very hot, so hot that her cold hands began to sweat.
This time, it seemed like she walked for a long time, until Yu Yan was unable to move. On the way, the two of them did not speak a word. They just stood there, hand in hand, holding each other's hand.
Yu Yan felt a little awkward. She tried to struggle free halfway, but it felt like she was punishing her, she pinched hard, until her bones started to creak. After squeezed thrice, Yu Yan felt that she had let go of her pitiful hand.
He stopped abruptly, let go of her hand, and fumbled at the wall for a moment. Yu Yan looked up at the dark blue, silk-like sky. The sky was filled with stars, shining brilliantly, and the half-moon was hidden behind the clouds, gently sprinkling down its radiance.
The sound of the horses galloping could be heard, and in the blink of an eye, Yu Yan had already guessed where they were!
This was Yulixiao's stable, he had brought her here before and enjoyed a few days of peace. In fact, his arrangements were quite suitable for her. For example, there were only horses and the little boy's stable. For example, she was in the Prince's Mansion at the Crane Zither Academy. They were all quiet.
Although Yulixiao was tyrannical, he was careful. He was always able to make Yu Yan accept his good points in small areas.
He turned his head to look at Yu Yan. He grabbed her arm and tugged in front of him, then grabbed her waist and lifted her up.
"Your Highness, I can't go up." She lowered her eyes and whispered.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly pushed up, and she quickly steadied herself. She looked down and saw that he had used his palms to lift her up.
Yu Yan quickly climbed up using all four limbs. The corner of her skirt was still at the exit of the secret passage, and a figure agilely landed in front of her.
She knelt on the grass and raised her head to look at Yulixiao. He stood in front of her and gently wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
In fact, he could crush her throat with two fingers, like a cat toying with a mouse.
The corner of Yu Yan's eyes twitched, she quickly stood up, patted off the grass pollen on her skirt and walked forward. "Yulian bent down to pick a few leaves and tossed them around in her hands for a while before handing them over to Yu Yan. Yu Yanqing took a look and saw that he had actually made a grasshopper …
"You know this?" Yu Yan was extremely surprised, she turned her head and looked at him, holding the green grasshopper.
He did not make a sound. He bent down and broke off another blade of grass. He used a handkerchief to wipe away the dust and dew. He gently folded it and blew on it.
Like the sound of insects, like the sound of frogs, he blew out all sorts of sounds and walked slowly forward.
