Yun Jiangli frowned and took a step back, keeping a distance from Prince Yi. He narrowed his eyes, unwilling to look him in the face, and said with obvious disgust, “Never heard of it.”
He didn’t expect that Prince Yi’s style of doing things would be so straightforward.
Everything he did seemed crazy, and he acted eccentrically and cruelly, but if one thinks about it carefully, he is a very scheming person.
Although Yun Jiangli had been on guard when he heard Jian Shuang say that Prince Yi’s people were looking for “Xuezhu”, but he didn’t expect this person to test him.
If he wasn’t sure, he wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.
Thinking of this, Yun Jiangli’s aura became a little colder, and he stared at Prince Yi with a sense of oppression in his eyes: “Does Your Highness still have anything else to say?”
Prince Yi seemed not surprised to receive this negative answer, and he did not care about Yun Jiangli’s attitude either and was still smiling.
The two were of similar stature, and Prince Yi lazily leaned against the door, slightly raised his chin, and looked at Yun Jiangli: “Young Hall Master, since you have never heard of ‘Xuezhu’, then you are not curious at all?”
Yun Jiangli was a little disdainful of Prince Yi’s overly obvious temptation and coldly said, “I have studied medicine since I was young, and I specialize in this. I am not curious about other things.”
Prince Yi listened to his answer and did not comment. He just used his amorous peach blossom eyes to scan Yun Jiangli’s face back and forth, hooked his lips, and chuckled: “Young Hall Master is so beautiful, this king willing to lie in the beauty’s arms. Is the beauty interested?”
Yun Jiangli’s phoenix eyes dimmed. Prince Yi’s words were both real and fake and really annoying.
When he spoke again, his tone was already filled with a warning: “No intention.”
“Hahaha, why are you in such a hurry, Young Hall Master? This king is really interested in you, why don’t we talk more?”
Prince Yi clapped his hands and laughed out loud: “Maybe if we talk more, Young Hall Master will find that this king is more interesting?”
Yun Jiangli narrowed his eyes, showing his impatience. He always kept his emotions to himself, but Prince Yi’s weird temper really annoyed him. He didn’t care what he was up to and naturally had no patience to deal with him.
He calculated the time. It had been about half an incense stick since the two of them entered the inner room. His little prince must be getting anxious waiting.
“Your Highness may be free and at ease, but the affairs of Renji Tang in the capital are complicated. I’m sorry that I can’t accompany Your Highness to chat.” Yun Jiangli responded politely and calmly.
Prince Yi’s eyes stayed on Yun Jiangli’s face for a long time, then he shook his sleeves, stopped leaning against the wall, and stood up straight: “Well, this king can’t go back with this trip to the capital anyway, and I have plenty of free time. I’ll just wait until Young Hall Master is not busy.”
After saying that, he turned around, raised his hand to push the door, paused for a moment, turned around, and smiled: “What this king just said was not a joke.”
“Young Hall Master is so beautiful, this king really likes Young Hall Master. Why don’t you think about it carefully? If you change your mind, you can always come to Prince Yi’s mansion to find this king.”
Without waiting for Yun Jiangli’s response, Prince Yi pushed the door and walked out directly.
Yun Jiangli followed a few steps behind and left the inner room.
When they returned to the front hall, Yan Muning was still sitting in his previous seat. When he saw them coming out, he looked directly at Yun Jiangli, passing over Prince Yi, who was walking in front.
Yun Jiangli felt the youth’s eyes moving back and forth on him for a long time before he withdrew them with a sense of relief.
He felt warm in his heart, raised his eyes, and met the little prince’s round eyes. After being glared at by the youth, he felt much more relieved, and the irritation caused by Prince Yi just now also dissipated a lot.
Prince Yi had achieved his purpose of coming to Prince An’s mansion today, so he had no intention of staying any longer. He walked directly to Yan Muning and said, “Seventh Brother, this Young Hall Master Yun is really extraordinary. With him by your side, Third Brother feels relieved. It’s getting late. Third Brother will go back first and come to see you another day.”
After saying that, he walked out on his own.
Yan Muning’s heart had been tense for too long, and when he stood up suddenly, he was dizzy for a moment, his legs went limp, and he almost fell down, but Chen Mo quickly supported him from behind, and he stood up.
Fortunately, Prince Yi’s people had already followed their master and walked out of the front hall and did not notice the movements of the little prince.
“Your Highness, are you alright?”
Shiyi was a little worried and asked in a low voice while holding his arm.
Yan Muning shook his head slightly and whispered, “It’s fine, I just sat there for a long time. Let’s go and see Prince Yi off first.”
Then he led his attendants out of the front hall and went to the main gate of the mansion.
Since returning to the front hall, Yun Jiangli’s eyes have never left the little prince. He saw the swaying just now clearly, but because there were so many servants around, he couldn’t go forward.
The little prince led people to send Prince Yi and his party to the carriage and leave, and only then did he feel completely relieved.
The heavy snow had not stopped yet, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.
Shiyi supported Yan Muning and walked slowly to the backyard, Yun Jiangli followed behind not too far.
Seeing the youth’s unsteady steps, his heart was in his throat. He slipped from time to time when stepping on the snow and raised his hand to cover his lower abdomen in a panic, which made Yun Jiangli’s brows knotted.
When they passed through the corridor and turned into the backyard, the guards in the front yard could no longer follow, and only a few of the closest people were left around the little prince.
Yun Jiangli no longer had any scruples and took a big step forward, directly holding Yan Muning’s legs and picking him up. His movements were so smooth that they startled Shiyi and Chen Mo, who were following him.
The little prince’s feet suddenly left the ground, and the whole person was in the air, which scared him so much that he screamed. After he recovered and saw what was going on, he began to pounce: “Yun Jiangli! Put me down!”
Yun Jiangli, who had been holding back for a long time, did not let go. He walked towards the warm pavilion with a sullen face and steady strides: “Don’t move. The ground is very slippery. Be careful not to fall.”
“Yun Jiangli, you old bastard, doesn’t this king need any dignity!”
The little prince cursed him in a low voice while gritting his teeth. His movements were much smaller, and his hands tightly grasped Yun Jiangli’s collar.
It looked like he was afraid of falling accidentally, but he was still mumbling and cursing.
Yun Jiangli suddenly stopped and looked down at the youth, whose face was red and who was still cursing in his arms, “Xiao Qi, if you curse again, I will kiss you.”
Yan Muning’s eyes widened and his voice stopped abruptly.
It’s fine if he just carries him, but if he gets kissed again, his dignity as Prince An will be completely lost.
But the little prince forgot that he remembered to suppress his voice when he was cursing just now, but Yun Jiangli’s “kiss you” was a normal sentence. The few servants who were still following around were already stunned by what Young Hall Master Yun said.
Shiyi and Chen Mo looked at each other and asked in a disbelieving voice, “Brother Chen Mo… this, this, this means that the two masters are in love?”
Chen Mo shook his head and answered Shiyi’s question with his eyes: You ask me, who should I ask!
The distance to the warm pavilion is not close, and the little prince has been numb all the way. With the mentality of out of sight, out of mind, he buried his head in Yun Jiangli’s chest and pretended to be an ostrich.
When Yun Jiangli walked into the yard with the little prince in his arms, he ran into Ah Xiao and Lao Qi, who had just come out of Jiayue Pavilion.
The moment they saw who was in their boss’s arms, they opened their mouths to speak but were stopped by Yun Jiangli’s eyes.
The two turned around and faced the wall in unison, silently saying in their hearts: We didn’t see anything.
Since the little prince didn’t know that he had met many people along the way, he didn’t know that after he entered the warm pavilion, a row of curious heads were lying outside the window.
Yun Jiangli had just put the person on the couch when the little prince rolled to the innermost part.
He directly crawled into the quilt, covered himself from head to toe, and said vaguely, “This king is tired.”
“Xiao Wangye, you always use this excuse to chase me away.” Yun Jiangli laughed angrily and stood beside the couch with his arms folded: “Why, are you so impatient to even deal with me now?”
Yan Muning listened to the big beauty’s words, curled up in the quilt, and muttered to him.
After waiting for a long time, and he still didn’t come out, Yun Jiangli directly picked him up and frowned, saying, “Weren’t you feeling uncomfortable just now? Be obedient, let me take a look.”
The little prince got angry when this matter was mentioned. Who was the one he was worried about?
Yan Muning grabbed the quilt and refused to let go: “I won’t let you see!”
Yun Jiangli didn’t dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting the spoiled little prince, and he couldn’t get him out of the quilt even after a long time.
“Xiao Qi, come out.”
He raised his hand and slapped the little prince’s buttocks twice through the quilt.
Yan Muning, who was slapped on the buttocks for no reason, was ashamed and angry. He sat up and picked up the pillow to hit him.
Yun Jiangli raised his hand to block it, took the pillow, and pinched the little prince’s wrist: “Hmm, you look more energetic now. Do you have the strength to hit me now?”
After checking the youth’s pulse, he said in a cold tone, “I told you to calm down, why didn’t you listen?”
“You are even being fierce!” The little prince was anxious.
“I can’t be calm! You clearly know what Prince Yi is here for. I have told you so much before, but it was all in vain! Today I tried my best to protect you, but you still took the initiative to deliver yourself to him. Are you trying to make me die of anxiety!”
Yan Muning’s temper flared up, and his voice also rose a little.
Yun Jiangli smiled a little after hearing this and gazed at the youth with gentle eyes: “Xiao Qi, are you worried about me?”
“I’m afraid I can’t protect you! Third Brother is a madman now, he…”
Yan Muning was still talking and only realized that the big beauty had asked him something halfway through.
“You’re still laughing!”
The little prince glared at him angrily.
Yun Jiangli took the opportunity to move forward and said, “So, Xiao Wangye, can you give me a status as soon as possible? With a status, I won’t be afraid of being bullied by others anymore, right?”
Through the window, the conversation inside the room was not very clear. The conversation between the two masters was intermittent, but it was enough for the gossiping servants outside the window to figure it out.
“Let me take a look”, “No, I won’t let you see.”
The guards had mixed feelings. What did master want to see…
After hearing Yun Jiangli’s vague words—
“Someone… bullied me”, Ah Xiao and Lao Qi both blushed.
A bunch of “sh*t” popped up in his mind. How could his boss say such a thing without changing his expression? Unfortunately, they were always worried that their young hall master was too thin-skinned and couldn’t pursue the little prince.
If his young hall master fought alone, there would only be a few people in the whole Dasheng who could withstand him. Ah Xiao wanted to ask who in his blood was so daring that he could bully Yun Jiangli?
Chen Mo, who was always calm, was forced to squat by the window and eavesdrop with a group of people. He recalled that night in the small courtyard of Jinzhou, he was also forced to listen to all kinds of shameful sounds and lewd words…
Now listening to the movement in the warm pavilion, Chen Mo raised his hand to cover his eyes. He felt that he could not let this group of people listen to the next words and began to drive them away with a wooden face: “Go away, go, go and do your own things!”
……
In the warm pavilion.
“Xiao Wangye, where is my status?” Yun Jiangli was still insisting and had already forced the blushing youth to shrink to the corner of the bed, with no way to retreat.
Yan Muning stuttered, “What status? What are you talking about… When did this king, this king say that he would give you a status?”
After hearing this, Yun Jiangli sighed and stopped talking. He slowly returned to the bedside, took out a delicate jade bottle from the medicine box, poured out a pill, and handed it to Yan Muning: “It’s for pregnancy protection, not bitter.”
The little prince didn’t know why this person suddenly changed the subject. Was he angry?
He secretly observed the big beauty’s expression and swallowed the pill with some trepidation. It was not bitter, and the tip of his tongue was even a little sweet. He didn’t know how it was made.
“Come here.”
Yun Jiangli stacked two soft pillows and motioned the little prince to come over. “If you sit for a long time like today, remember to lean on a soft pillow so that your waist can be more comfortable.”
“Control your temper as well, so that he won’t bother you all the time.”
Yun Jiangli touched Yan Muning’s belly with his fingertips.
This time, the little prince did not pull away the claw that was poking his belly. He nodded with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with this person, as if… he had something to say.
Sure enough, before he could finish thinking, Yun Jiangli spoke again: “Xiao Wangye, aren’t you curious about what Prince Yi said to me?”
Yan Muning’s face froze, and he said nervously, “Why? Did my third brother make things difficult for you?”
Yun Jiangli shook his head: “It’s not that difficult either.”
“It’s just that, Prince Yi, he praised me for my beauty.”
Yan Mu Ning: “?”
“He also said that he liked me.” Yun Jiangli continued to speak slowly, his tone calm and without any fluctuations.
Yan Muning: “!!”
The little prince was not calm. He suddenly felt sour in his heart and felt a little aggrieved. He clenched his fists and asked with a trembling voice, “Then, what did you say?”
Yun Jiangli said seriously, “Of course I refused.”
Yan Muning just breathed a sigh of relief and then heard Yun Jiangli continue: “But Prince Yi seemed very persistent. Before leaving, he told me to think about it carefully. He also said that if I change my mind at any time, Prince Yi’s mansion will be waiting for me at any time.”
The little prince is angry! Listen, is this still human language?
Yun Jiangli saw that the little prince was about to explode, so he stopped saying bullying words. He stared directly into his eyes and said in a gentle voice, “So, if you ask me, Xiao Wangye should give me the title of princess consort An as soon as possible.”
“Otherwise, someone will always be thinking about me. After all, Xiao Wangye also said that I am a great beauty.”
Yan Muning: “……”
The author has something to say:
Yan Muning: Who is this person? His nerve is too big, I don’t recognize him.
