Yan Muning did not look away and just stared at Yun Jiangli quietly.
Not sure if it was because of Prince Yi’s sudden visit today or because of Yun Jiangli’s words just now, but the little prince was feeling a little depressed and a little sour at the moment.
His big beauty was the Young Hall Master of Renji Tang, and perhaps many people really cared about him.
And he was just a lazy prince…
Yun Jiangli looked at the youth who was just on the verge of getting angry, and his bright round eyes suddenly dimmed a little, with a layer of slight sadness.
He suddenly panicked, thinking that he might have said too much and bullied him too much.
“Xiao Qi, you…”
Yun Jiangli took the youth’s hand and tried to coax him.
For the first time, the little prince did not break free from Yun Jiangli’s hand. He blinked with some confusion and interrupted Yun Jiangli: “Are you doing this for me or for him?”
Yun Jiangli was startled. Just when he wanted to ask who “he” was, the youth held his hand and gently placed it on his belly.
Under his palm, through the soft fabric, was the youth’s cute little belly. It used to be so thin that it made people feel distressed, but now it had a small bulge.
Thinking that this was the youth nurturing the baby that he loved, Yun Jiangli’s breathing suddenly became a little faster. His palms trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with deep love and attachment. He almost couldn’t help wanting to rub the youth into his own flesh and blood.
“So, it’s for him?”
The little prince, who had waited for a long time without getting a reply from Yun Jiangli, asked again stubbornly.
Yun Jiangli was almost laughing when he heard this, and he really wanted to crack open the youth’s little head to see what was inside.
“For you.”
Yun Jiangli responded directly. If he didn’t explain it clearly at this time, the stubborn little prince might get into a dead end.
“Xiao Qi, if I didn’t love you, how did he come? Hmm?”
Yun Jiangli’s palm was still covering the youth’s belly, and he even took the initiative to rub it a few times, “Are you jealous of your own child now?”
Yan Muning felt the warmth of his palm, listened to his magnetic and hoarse voice speaking embarrassing words, and the phoenix eyes that were so close to him seemed to want to pull him in and immerse him in that depth.
But this person was so close to him, and every word he said was filled with a warm breath on his face and ears…
The little prince couldn’t stand this evil man, blushed, and tilted his head, stammering, “You, what are you talking about… Who, who, who is jealous?”
“Can I make dumplings for you tonight to appease your jealousy?”
Yun Jiangli watched the pink on the youth’s face gradually spread to his neck, but he still had a hard mouth, so he chuckled and stretched out two fingers to pinch the little prince’s mouth.
Yan Muning, who was teased by Yun Jiangli, was so angry that he bit the finger that was delivered to him and gritted his teeth in anger.
Yun Jiangli was happy to pamper him, so he let him go.
Since the two of them met again in the capital, it was rare for them to have such a peaceful and calm time together.
“Why… why weren’t you there that morning?”
After a long silence, Yan Muning suddenly asked.
Yun Jiangli was a little confused by the little prince’s question. He narrowed his eyes and figured out when the youth was asking.
So the little thing has been thinking about this matter?
“At that time, I went to the wine shop to buy brewed-wine Ruyi cake for you…”
Recalling that day, Yun Jiangli didn’t know where to start, so he could only talk about the most important things.
“I was too harsh with you at night, and I was afraid that you would be angry when you woke up, and I was also afraid that you would be hungry. I thought of buying some of your favorite cakes, but who knew…” Yun Jiangli paused. “But who knew that when I returned home, I couldn’t find you anymore?”
“When I first noticed you were missing, I thought you were being hunted down by assassins again. You were in some danger, and I was scared out of my wits.”
Yun Jiangli glanced at the little prince with a bit of complaint.
Yan Muning felt a little guilty thinking about his behavior of leaving without saying goodbye. He touched his nose secretly and then pulled a strand of his hair around his fingertips, muttering softly, “How can you be scared? I don’t believe it.”
In the little prince’s eyes, the big beauty was always cold and aloof. He had hardly ever seen him have any emotional fluctuations.
“Heh.”
Yun Jiangli sneered and imitated the youth by pinching his hair and rubbing it between his fingertips: “I don’t know which heartless person said he wanted to marry me, but he disappeared after getting out of the bed.”
“Later, I found that you also took the fat bird away with you, and then I believed that you left on your own and not in an accident.”
Speaking of this, Yun Jiangli was furious. He still couldn’t figure out why his status couldn’t even be compared to a fat bird?
Earlier, Yun Jiangli was reluctant to say these things, or perhaps he was too disdainful to say them. He was naturally cold and taciturn. The people around him were all smart people who obeyed him loyally, so he didn’t need to say anything more.
After a long time, he felt that “explanation” was redundant.
Before meeting Yan Muning, he had never thought about what kind of person he would be attracted to, and he had never expected that one day, he would be passionately and noisily moved by such a talkative, willful, yet honest and kind youth.
No matter how smart a person is, he or she will be clumsy when it comes to feelings when they first experience love.
Yun Jiangli was jealous, sulky, and experienced bitterness and longing, and only then did he learn to open his heart to his little lover.
At the moment, Yun Jiangli is willing to tell the little prince everything he wants to know.
At most, if he talks too much in front of his little lover, he will be more indifferent in front of outsiders, which can be balanced.
Moreover, Yun Jiangli has found some new evil tastes in front of the little prince—
Similar to…
The sense of accomplishment you get from personally brushing the fur of a kitten back into your arms?
“Then, where is my wine-brewed Ruyi Cake?” the little prince asked with a red face.
Yun Jiangli: “……”
He didn’t expect that after all this, some conscienceless person would only think about the wine-brewed Ruyi Cake?
Yun Jiangli gritted his teeth and said, “I ate it.”
Yan Muning stared at him with round eyes, not making sense: “Didn’t you buy it to coax me?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said anything. Now that the Ruyi Cake was mentioned, the little prince felt so hungry that his stomach started to growl.
“Little ancestor, please be reasonable. Didn’t we just talk about something that happened more than two months ago?”
Yun Jiangli didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The little prince grasped the important information decisively and immediately started to act arrogantly: “You said I was unreasonable!”
“You said you loved me just now, but now you think I’m unreasonable, and you keep saying you want to coax me… You have no sincerity at all, and you even ask me for a status. Do you think it’s so easy to be my princess…”
Yan Muning kept talking.
At last, the words suddenly changed: “You are not allowed to go to Prince Yi’s mansion.”
Yun Jiangli suppressed his laughter and nodded: “No. I don’t like any other mansion except Prince An’s mansion.”
“Then, if I say I haven’t forgiven you yet, does what you said that day about coming to coax me every day still count?” The little prince held on to the last bit of pride, lowered his eyes, blushed, and was too embarrassed to look at Yun Jiangli.
“It counts.”
Yun Jiangli responded decisively and couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub the soft hair that he had missed for a long time and said with a smile, “I am happy to coax you, just waiting for Xiao Wangye to calm down one day, but remember to give me a status as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, I will never have a status in this Prince An’s mansion.”
From that day on, the two of them really started a life of one coaxing the other and the other listening.
A heavy snow fell for several days in a row. It finally cleared up that day. The snow had not yet melted away, and Yuchi Zhao rushed to Prince An’s mansion.
As soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he pulled Yan Muning up and down, left and right, and looked him up and down.
Seeing the little prince’s face was rosy and he didn’t look like he was being bullied, he sat down on the warm couch with relief, rubbing his hands and shouting, “I heard that Prince Yi rushed to your mansion that day, I was so worried! It was snowing too hard, and I couldn’t get over in time, I was afraid you would suffer!”
Xiao Jiu, who was standing by, gave him a cup of hot tea: “Shizi ye, cover your hands quickly, it’s cold outside.”
Yan Muning slumped lazily: “How can it be so exaggerated? What can happen? If there is something wrong, why did you rush over, idiot.”
Yuchi Zhao rolled his eyes at him, took a few sips of hot tea, and looked at the cup curiously: “What kind of tea is this? I can’t even tell. It smells so good.”
“Young Hall Master Yun specially prepared it for His Highness, saying it is the most suitable to drink in winter.”
Xiao Jiu responded and filled the cup for him.
“Then this! This can’t be for pregnancy protection, right? Can I drink it?” Yuchi Zhao looked at the teacup in shock and then looked at Yan Muning.
Yan Muning glanced at him: “Drink it if you want.”
Yuchi Zhao smiled and took a few more sips, then turned to Xiao Jiu and said, “Jiu’er, go to the door and help me watch these, don’t let anyone come over, I have something to say to your master.”
Xiao Jiu nodded sensibly and left, closing the door from the outside.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so mysterious?”
Yan Muning was puzzled and asked after sitting up straighter.
In the past, when they talked, they never avoided the guards.
Yuchi Zhao crossed his legs, leaned on the table, and moved closer to him, saying in a low voice, “Ah Ning, remember what I told you last time that my father mentioned Prince Yi to me?”
“But you know my father, he just reminded me and didn’t say much.”
“It was the day before yesterday when I received a letter from my eldest brother, in which he said a few words in detail. My eldest brother said that Prince Yi is acting very crazy now, and I heard that some of his subordinates are secretly looking for something… some organization or institution.”
Yan Muning frowned when he heard this.
“How did Brother Yuchi know about these things?” Yan Muning also asked in a low voice.
“It was said that Prince Yi sent someone to find my father, intending to…”
Yuchi Zhao did not say anything but raised his hand to gesture.
Yan Muning nodded. He had heard some of it because his second and fifth brothers mentioned this before, so he knew it.
Yuchi Zhao continued, “My father directly detained the three people he sent. The leader was very tight-lipped and swallowed the poison without saying anything. The other two were not close confidants of that person, and they didn’t know much and were timid. In order to save their lives, they also said nonsense that they could and couldn’t say.”
“My eldest brother said that the verified news has been reported to His Majesty, but some of the news is vague and has no beginning or end. It is impossible to report it to His Majesty.”
“My eldest brother mentioned in his letter that he later sent someone to investigate based on the news from those two people. We only know that Prince Yi suddenly became so crazy. It seems that someone in the capital went to talk to him about something at the beginning of last year.”
Yan Muning went over these words in his mind several times and gently touched the teacup in Yuchi Zhao’s hand and said, “Thank you, Ah Zhao.”
“Well, who are we? Why are you being so polite?”
Yuchi waved his hands and took a sip from the teacup.
It just so happened that he hadn’t found a suitable opportunity to tell Yuchi Zhao about the mess that happened when he was in Jinzhou.
Now that it happened to be brought up, Yan Muning twisted the teacup in his hands and spoke carefully: “Ah Zhao, didn’t you ask me a while ago how I came back with so many injuries?”
Yuchi Zhao, who was just about to lean on the armrest lazily, immediately perked up when he heard this: “Yes, tell me now!”
“Actually… I have never known how to tell you, but now you also… know a little bit. I will not hide it from you—”
“It was my third brother who did it.” It’s been so long since this happened, but Yan Muning still feels a little sad when he mentions it.
“Sh*t.”
Yuchi Zhao jumped up and stood on the couch, angrily saying, “He is really crazy!”
Yan Muning was just about to tell his friend to stop getting agitated and sit down to calm down when there was a knock on the door.
“Your Highness, Young Hall Master Yun is here.” Xiao Jiu’s voice came.
Yun Jiangli came to give the little prince pear soup. He glanced at the servants standing in front of the door and asked with a frown, “Is Xiao Wangye asleep?”
Xiao Jiu replied, “No, Master is with…”
“Xiao Jiu, let Young Hall Master come in.” Yan Mning raised his voice and called Xiao Jiu.
Yun Jiangli entered the room with the pear soup and saw the ugly Shizi ye again.
Tsk, this guy might as well move his Prince’s mansion into Prince An’s mansion!
Yan Muning saw the soup bowl in Yun Jiangli’s hand, and his eyes lit up. These past two days, the big beauty always made him something sweet to eat. He didn’t know what was in it, but it was refreshing and not disgusting, and he liked it very much.
“Shizi ye is here again ah.”
Yun Jiangli smiled and said, “Why are you standing so high?”
“Hehehe, yes, yes, it’s finally clear, and the snow has stopped…” Yuchi Zhao touched his nose awkwardly and sat back on the couch with his legs crossed, thinking to himself, Why does this jealous guy always come out ah?
Yun Jiangli looked at the little prince, who stretched out his claws towards the soup bowl, pursed his lips, and dodged the hand holding the soup bowl: “Be careful not to get burned.”
After saying that, he sat directly next to Yan Muning, opened the soup bowl, carefully scooped out a little with a spoon, blew it on his lips, and then handed it directly to the little prince’s mouth: “Here, taste it.”
The little prince’s eyes almost popped out. What’s wrong with this guy? Although the two of them have been getting along very well these days, but it’s not necessary for him to suddenly do this…
“Xiao Qi had a cough last night, so I thought of stewing a bowl of pear soup for him. I didn’t know that Shizi ye would come today, so I didn’t prepare any for you. Really sorry.”
Yun Jiangli was polite, but there was really no apology in his tone.
Yuchi Zhao laughed dryly: “It’s fine, it’s fine. I don’t like such sweet things either.”
Yun Jiangli lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes hiding the burning possessiveness in them, and scooped up another spoonful of soup to cool it down: “Be good, drink more. I felt sorry for you when you coughed last night.”
Yan Muning had just taken a drink and almost choked when he heard these words.
He raised his hand to cover his lips, glared at Yun Jiangli, and warned him fiercely with his eyes: Shut up.
How could this person say such misleading words without changing his expression! Last night, last night my ass, how about those who hear it from a distance? If they don’t know what was said, they would think that the big beauty was in his bedroom last night.
But it was clearly eleven o’clock in the morning when he told the big beauty about the matter ah!
Yuchi Zhao was completely annoyed when he saw the two people flirting with each other in front of him: every time he came to Prince An’s mansion recently, he had to be forced to stuff a mouthful of dog food.
He was also inexplicably regarded as a love rival by Yun jealous Jiangli. This life was really enough!
Yuchi secretly swore: He would also find a consort and bring them to Yan Muning to stuff dog food together!
