Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Xuanyuan Yan couldn't eat anymore, he put down his bowl and chopsticks almost immediately, picked up the teacup and drank water.

"Your Highness, have you finished eating now? Your appetite is not good today. You don't even eat half of what you normally eat. Is it because you were drunk last night?"

"Cough cough cough..."

He was really talking about something irrelevant. He felt helpless. How could he be taken advantage of by this little girl in front of him? !

"Don't you have something to discuss? Let's go to the study."

The servants brought tea and a few plates of freshly cut fruit to the study. After everyone left, Qing Yi considerately closed the study door for the two of them and moved away.

Bai Er, who was the most impatient, could no longer bear it. Like a monkey, he jumped from a distant roof to a big tree, and then from the tree to the ground. After a quick roll, he stood up neatly.

Then he planned to walk quietly to the window of the study.

Qing Yi stopped the man and scolded him in a low voice:

"If you dare to take another step forward, be careful or the master will peel off your skin!"

Bai Er couldn't help but shrink his head. Tsk, he was so excited that he forgot that his master was not someone who was easy to talk to.

During the time that Miss Qingyue has been in the mansion, everyone has let down their guard!

He had no choice but to touch his nose, pull Qing Yi back a little further away, and then asked in a low voice:

"Brother, what do you think Miss Qingyue is going to say to the master today? Please don't do it to reject our master!

Alas, our master is good in every way, except that he is a little old. "

Qing Yi gave him a slap on the head speechlessly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our master hasn't even come of age yet, how can he be older?"

"But Miss Qingyue is not even fourteen yet, and the master is five or six years older than her, tsk tsk ..."

Qing Yi choked violently, and then slapped him on the head.

"What do you know? They're a good match only when they're older. They know how to care for others when they're older." He glanced at Bai Er, who looked a little shifty at the moment, snorted and said:

"You are a rough guy who has never even touched a little girl's hand. You know nothing! Stay away!"

Bai Er's face flushed red, and he shouted in a low voice:

"I call this being polite and courteous! Besides, when have you ever held a girl's hand? Humph, we are the same, so don't talk down to each other!"

After saying that, he did a neat backflip and jumped onto the tree next to him. After a few jumps, he quickly disappeared without a trace.

Qing Yi shook his head helplessly and couldn't help but prick up his ears to eavesdrop, but he was standing too far away and could not hear anything.

Inside the house, Shangguan Qingyue startled Xuanyuan Yan as soon as she opened her mouth:

"Your Highness, were you speaking the truth last night after drinking, or were you talking nonsense because you were confused?"

He was pouring tea and almost spilled it all on the table. He calmed himself down, looked into the other person's eyes and said seriously:

"Of course it's true. Although I was a little drunk last night, my mind was very clear."

Shangguan Qingyue exhaled lightly, and her straight back unconsciously leaned back against the chair. If the other party denied it, she really didn't know what to do, and she couldn't even stay in the prince's mansion anymore.

Xuanyuan Yan stared at the girl in front of him without blinking, taking in every tiny movement she made.

After discovering that the other party was not as calm and composed as he appeared, he finally had some idea in his mind, so he took the opportunity to ask:

"Qingqing."

The intimacy and ambiguity of this title were infinitely magnified at this moment. Shangguan Qingyue's heartstrings trembled. She didn't dare to look at the other party, and only responded softly: "Hmm?"

Xuanyuan Yan looked at the black head with a few tufts of hair in front of him, his eyes filled with deep doting and love.

"I like you, but because you are still young, I am afraid that you will be scared by me, so I have kept it hidden in my heart. If you find out and stay away from me from now on, I will regret it."

He took a deep breath and continued:

"Qingqing, are you also pleased with me?"

He spoke very slowly, and each word was like a stone dropped into a lake, making a thudding sound.

Are you happy?

Shangguan Qingyue finally raised her head and looked at the handsome and elegant man opposite her. It was hard not to be moved, right?

However, she had never thought about the relationship between men and women.

She thought there was a huge gap between them, whether it was their social status or the idea of ​​polygamy, women's husbands being their gods, etc., which she found difficult to accept.

So she was silent for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to ask:

"Your Highness, can you accept being with one person for the rest of your life? You cannot have any concubines, maids, or side concubines. You can only marry one wife and stay with her for the rest of your life."

Then he added in a low voice:

"If you can't accept it, there's no need for us to continue talking."

Even if another ten or twenty years passed, she felt that she still could not accept sharing a husband with someone else. In this case, it was better to make it clear at the beginning.

Xuanyuan Yan chuckled and asked instead of answering:

"You have been in my house for two months. Have you seen the maids who serve me closely?"

After hearing this, Shangguan Qingyue's eyes suddenly became bright and she shook her head.

“I have been taught strictly by my mother since I was young. Outsiders all praise me for my talent, understanding and hardworking, but no one knows how I survived those years.

As time went by, I became more and more reluctant to get along with my mother, and even to the point where I was fed up with all women. Because of this, as soon as I reached the age, I immediately asked my father for permission to move out of the palace. "

Shangguan Qingyue's heart beat wildly as he listened to the sound. Suddenly, his throat felt dry. He picked up the teacup and took several gulps of the slightly cool tea.

Xuanyuan Yan was in no hurry to stop her, so he could only frown and pick up the teapot to add tea for her, and advised:

"Drink two more sips of hot water, or you'll have a stomachache."

She nodded obediently, holding the teacup in both hands and drinking from it in small sips, her ears red and she was too embarrassed to look up.

Xuanyuan Yan suppressed his smile and continued his unfinished words:

"So, for more than ten years, you are the only one who can break the barrier in my heart and be with me day and night. It will not change in the future, I promise you."

The little girl was like a cooked shrimp, and all the exposed skin was stained with red. Xuanyuan Yan felt that if he let her continue to be shy, she would probably start to smoke.

But the business was not yet finished, so he had to simply say:

"I will go to your house to propose marriage in a few days. You are still young, so we are not in a hurry to get married, but this marriage needs to be settled first.

Otherwise, if you get kidnapped by some pretty boy, I won’t even have anywhere to cry!"

His little girl was a precious unpolished jade, and he wished he could tie her tightly to him so that no one could discover her good points except himself.

But this is only something he can think about. The most important thing now is to convince his future father-in-law and mother-in-law to agree to their engagement.

But when he thought of Aunt Baili's extreme love for her daughter, he felt a headache. So he sighed and said with grievance:

"You must help me when the time comes, otherwise I'm really worried that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will kick me out."

Shangguan Qingyue held her burning cheeks with both hands, rolled her eyes at him, and poured a basin of cold water on him:

"Your Highness, we haven't even started yet, aren't you thinking too far ahead?

You may have forgotten that the Imperial Concubine dislikes me very much and even... tried to kill me. If she knew, she would be furious and strongly oppose it. "

Xuanyuan Yan's gentle face immediately became cold and stiff. He had already found out some clues as to why his good mother would kill a little girl. He believed that the truth would be revealed soon.

However, he didn't want the girl in front of him to be involved in any of these dark and dirty things.

In addition, in order to get rid of his mother's control over himself, he has been planning for a long time, waiting for the right time to act decisively.

He didn't want to tell the person in front of him about this, so he just said:

"Don't worry, mother can't stop you. Leave everything to me, just do whatever you want to do, just don't refuse me when the time comes."

Shangguan Qingyue felt completely safe, and she really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

There is such a person who fully supports your hobbies, spares no effort to help you realize your wishes, and takes all obstacles and difficulties on himself.

It's hard not to be attracted by a man like this!

but……

What should she do if she doesn’t know how to get along with him after the two of them expressed their feelings?

As soon as Shangguan Qingyue tentatively said that she wanted to move back to the Shangguan Mansion, Xuanyuan Yan rejected her idea without hesitation.

"Now my uncle and aunt live in Cuiwei Mountain, which is too far from the capital. It will be too hard for you to go back and forth. If you go back to Shangguan Mansion, it will be unsafe for you alone."

Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but whispered back:

"I can ask my eldest brother and sister to move back as well. Wouldn't that be safer?"

Xuanyuan Yan's eyes widened slightly.

"You've already promised to take care of me for four months, not even a day less!"
