Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

"afraid."

Liu Hao looked straight at Yuan Jing without dodging or avoiding his gaze, and admitted it directly.

"If that's the case, why?" Yuan Jing asked.

"It is human nature to seek fortune and avoid disaster. Liu Yao is just an ordinary citizen. It is natural that he would be afraid of being punished by Your Majesty."

"But even if I am afraid of death, I still have principles I want to uphold. Today's matter is beneficial to me, but it has nothing to do with the princess, so naturally I should bear the responsibility."

Liu Yao explained it lightly, without deliberately emphasizing what he had paid for, nor caring about his false image like others.

Although she said that she was afraid of death, Yuan Jing felt that her eyes were particularly clear.

Since he began planning his ascension to the throne, Yuan Jing has come into contact with many people, including palace servants, guards, and some talented counselors.

Many people, clearly tempted by the conditions he proposed, still insisted on putting on airs and waiting for others to invite them.

What they value is money and power, and they are very hypocritical, allowing people to flatter them with false reputations and to place them on a high pedestal.

Yuan Jing hated this kind of person the most, just like he hated the person who used the favor of the imperial concubine to achieve the result he wanted.

Naturally, he would not tolerate such people. Those who put on airs would eventually go back crying and beg him to stay.

There are not many people available under my command. After these people have corrected their mistakes, they still need to be used, but there is not much trust in them.

Having seen many hypocritical people, he couldn't help but feel differently when he saw someone as pure and straightforward as Liu Yao.

Yuan Jing suddenly recalled the many stories he had heard about the new number one scholar before the marriage was granted.

What are the small three yuan and big three yuan that are achieved consecutively?

Among her classmates, she had no bad reputation at all;

How about when he was selected as the third place in the imperial examination because of his appearance before answering the questions, and then he was selected as the first place in the imperial examination because of his talent after answering the questions?

……

He is well-educated, responsible, and seems to have good character. When he becomes an official in the future, he will definitely be able to accomplish some practical things.

But...she was an official under that man.

Yuan Jing's eyes that were full of interest instantly withdrew, and he responded coldly:

"Okay, then it's up to you."

"I am going to take a bath and get ready to rest. Please do as you please, Prince Consort."

Yuan Jing pulled the bell hanging beside the bed.

Soon, Xianyun pushed the door open and walked in, followed by a long line of servants carrying hot water and prepared bathing supplies.

Yuan Jing sat in front of the dressing table, Xianyun stood behind him, taking off his hair and removing the makeup on his face.

After that, he stepped back a few steps and stood aside.

Hot steam rose from the screen embroidered with green mountains and clear waters. The people who were setting up the inner bathroom came out one by one, and Xianyun went out with the servants.

Yuan Jing's hair accessories were removed, revealing her long black hair draped behind her. Her face was clean, less coquettish and more cold.

Just like the white clouds floating in the distant sky, unattainable and inviolable, and they never let go of anyone in their eyes.

He stood up and walked straight to the furnished bathroom.

Liu Yao stood alone in the empty room, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then turned around, pushed the door open and returned to her yard.

If she wants to rest...she also needs to wash up first.

When pretending to be a man, the time when one takes off clothes and washes is the easiest time to reveal one's identity.

Liu Yao had trained himself to be able to take baths quickly over a long period of time, and it didn't take long for him to come back feeling refreshed.

At this time, the sound of water splashing could still be heard from behind the screen.

Liu Hao didn't take it to heart.

She moved a set of clean bedding from the closet and spread it on the chaise longue. She rolled into it, wrapped the quilt around her body from head down, and closed her eyes.

The chaise longue was also brought by the princess. It is no ordinary item. It is made of top-quality materials and its design was created by the top craftsmen in the palace.

When Liu Que lay on it, he felt his whole body relax, which made him relax after being busy for many days.

She smelled the refreshing natural woody scent at the tip of her nose. The light and not strong smell made her feel sleepy.

It wasn't long before Liuqiao's breathing became even.

The next moment, Yuan Jing walked out wearing a snow-white middle garment.

When Liu Yao came back, he heard the sound.

But at that time he didn't know what Liu Yao was doing that caused the noisy noise outside, and he became suspicious, so he didn't go out.

Only now, when the room was quiet, did he come out.

Yuan Jing touched the skin on his arm and felt that his skin was about to become wrinkled.

There were too many things to worry about when Liu Yao stayed in the room, so it was not very convenient.

He frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

When Yuan Jing was in the deep palace and had no power or status, he was surrounded by malice.

He didn't know how much effort he had put in to live to this day.

Therefore, there is no long-term trust in anyone other than oneself.

At that moment before, he did have some trust in Liu Yao because of what he saw in his eyes.

When people leave and you are alone, the greatest malice towards the world will climb to the top of your brain.

"In the future, it would be better for her to stay with Meng more often."

But that is all in the future, I still need to be patient today.

Yuan Jing suppressed his anger and walked directly towards the bed.

When he arrived at the location, he was about to draw the curtains and go to sleep. He happened to look back and saw Liu Yao's figure, and his unhappiness disappeared instantly.

The chaise longue where she slept was deliberately moved several feet away from the bed, as if Yuan Jing's distrust was known in advance.

He remained in the same posture, quiet and motionless, like the calm surface of water, which made people feel only tranquility and not arouse the slightest sense of vigilance.

Yuan Jing felt much more relaxed. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he even had the mind to look at the appearance of this number one scholar.

The rumors are true.

The top scholar was indeed handsome, with a gentle appearance that made one feel close to him and no one could say that he was not good-looking.

He is as gentle as jade, extremely soft in manners, kind and polite to others, and a gentle and elegant young man.

Most women who get married cannot refuse such a partner.

Yuan Jing pondered in his heart, retracted his gaze, lay back on the bed, and pulled down the curtains.

Liu Yao's silhouette was dimly imprinted on the curtains, and Yuan Jing truly felt that he was sleeping with a stranger.

Even though they didn't sleep in the same bed, it was an experience he had never had before.

Miraculously, he still felt at peace.

……

Officials of this dynasty are entitled to three days of marriage leave.

On the wedding night, Liu Gao stayed in Yuan Jing's yard.

The next day, she went to her cousin's yard based on the impression outsiders had of her.

Yuan Jing didn't care about her either.

But on the third day, Liuqiao came again.

He asked doubtfully:

"Today is not your wedding night, what are you doing here?"

Liu Yao said, "I will go to see the emperor tomorrow to thank him. I will stay in the princess's courtyard tonight so that the emperor will not suspect anything tomorrow."

Yuan Jing thought about it and realized that it was true.

It was another harmonious night.

Yuan Jing lay on the bed, looking at the shadow of Liu Yao, and suddenly remembered that last night was her wedding night with her beloved. She didn't know...

He pressed his eyebrows to stop his thoughts in time.

Maybe I'm too idle today and I'm in the mood to think about all kinds of random things.

Go to bed early, because tomorrow you will have to pretend to be sensible and act disgusting in front of that disgusting person.
