Yu Xiaoqiao and Si Wenming returned to Yu Chuwan's room.

While Yu Xiaoqiao was greeting Yu Chuwan, she looked at Lao Mu, who shrank his neck and shook his head slightly.

Yu Xiaoqiao's heart trembled, but she kept a faint smile on her face: "It's getting late." Then she picked up Lao Mu and left the inn.

The carriage swayed forward, and there were not many pedestrians on the road after the heavy snow.

Yu Xiaoqiao lifted a corner of the car curtain and saw Qi Tianyi and the guard from afar.

Lao Mu stood on Yu Xiaoqiao's legs and barked twice, as if calling someone.

Yu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and stroked Lao Mu's head. When she looked up again, the two of them were gone.

The guard saw Yu Xiaoqiao from afar, pulled Qi Tianyi into a corner, and was secretly looking at the carriage.

"You, know Yu Xiaoqiao?" Qi Tianyi frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

Nangong Yao, dressed as a guard, nodded, then shook his head fiercely, "How could I know Princess Daxin?"

"How do you know she is a princess?" Qi Tianyi crossed his arms and looked at him meaningfully.

Nangong Yao was startled, his eyes rolling in his sockets, "...I saw her in Haojing when Prince Su was selecting a concubine, but it has nothing to do with you."

After he finished speaking, he snorted through his nose and strode away.

Qi Tianyi hurried to catch up, his mind full of everything that had happened over the past year, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Could it be that you like Yu Xiaoqiao?" Qi Tianyi, a man of meticulous mind, looked at Nangong Yao, who never took anything to heart, with a hint of bitterness in his eyes, and asked curiously.

Nangong Yao was stunned and couldn't help but smile, "Yes - I like it, I like it very much! I love it, I love it very much!"

"Those who went with you mentioned that you went out often during the days of the concubine selection, and went to the prime minister's residence several times. Is this true?" Qi Tianyi coughed twice, tightened his cloak, and couldn't help but shrink his head.

Nangong Yao glared at him fiercely, "Your Highness, you are becoming more and more arrogant. If you want to know something, just ask me. Why are you stalking me or doing underground work?"

After he finished speaking, he swung his arms and strode away.

"You're so narrow-minded. I...am not worried about your safety..." Qi Tianyi lacked confidence and his voice gradually became smaller.

Nangong Yao turned around and walked closer to him, shaking his head and said, "Speak up! You people, the Prime Minister is so confident and confident that you are used to it! Most of you are dreaming, worrying about the country and the people!"

Looking at the handsome face, three parts of anger, three parts of contempt, and four parts of indifference, Qi Tianyi's usual cold and majestic appearance disappeared at this moment.

Qi Tianyi had a helpless look on his face, standing there, watching him stride forward again. He sighed softly, took two quick steps to catch up with him, his thoughts filled with the scene when he met him again after a long separation a year ago.

Nangong Yao, the third son of General Nangong Yu of Qi State, has been Qi Tianyi's study companion since childhood.

When he was twelve years old, Nangong Yao's mother was seriously ill, so he returned home to take care of her.

It’s been many years since we last met.

When we met again six years later, Nangong Yao was already an eighteen-year-old boy.

He is handsome and fair, with a face like jade, an elegant demeanor, and a natural air of nobility and elegance.

Qi Tianyi recognized him at the first sight, but Nangong Yao couldn't remember him at all.

Qi Tianyi grabbed him and talked for a long time. Nangong Yao finally found him from her endless memories. "Oh, it turns out to be Wei Xiaohan!"

Because he was poisoned by a cold and was extremely afraid of cold since childhood, Nangong Yao gave him this nickname.

Qi Tianyi invited him back to the palace, but he refused.

A few months later, Nangong Yao took the initiative to find him and said he wanted to be his bodyguard.

Qi Tianyi looked at him, who was exhausted from all the traveling and dusty, and smiled faintly, "Okay!"

Later, after a private investigation, he found out that the Nangong family had arranged a marriage for him, but he ran away on the eve of the wedding.

Since that day, Nangong Yao has been accompanying Qi Tianyi as a bodyguard for nearly two years.

Qi Tianyi has always been indifferent to outsiders, but he occasionally jokes with Nangong Yao.

"Why did you run away from marriage?" Looking at Nangong Yao who always said shocking things, Qi Tianyi would occasionally ask.

Nangong Yao always looked impatient, "I heard that he has a round face and a pair of dead fish eyes...his feet are as big as Empress Ma's...and he has bad breath!"

"Haven't you never seen him before? I can tell what he looks like, but he also has bad breath..." Qi Tianyi knew he was lying, but he still chatted with him seriously, even feeling unsatisfied.

Nangong Yao was at a loss for words when asked. He was used to playing tricks and occasionally being a hooligan. He lifted Qi Tianyi's chin with one hand and said, "I'll tell you the truth. I... don't like women. You know what I mean."

As he spoke, his eyes narrowed and flashed with ambiguity.

Qi Tianyi took a breath when he was stared at and swallowed his saliva slowly.

Later, after using this trick many times, Qi Tianyi found a way to deal with it. He imitated him and lifted Nangong Yao's chin, "Actually, I am also... a homosexual."

Every time, Nangong Yao blushed and avoided it shyly like a girl.

Qi Tianyi started to shudder at first, and patted his forehead, thinking that he was dazzled.

To prove it, he never tired of testing him and often played tricks on him in various ways.

Until one time, Nangong Yao was extremely angry and said to him very seriously, "If you continue like this, I will leave!"

Qi Tianyi never dared to do that again.

After returning to Qi from the Academy, Qi Tianyi mentioned Yu Xiaoqiao to him, telling him about her various novel ideas and some strange behaviors...

Nangong Yao listened with great interest and often mentioned Yu Xiaoqiao's situation intentionally or unintentionally.

Later, when Prince Su was choosing a concubine, it was not his turn anyway.

However, he kept nagging Qi Tianyi so much that his ears became callused, and he finally agreed to let him go with him as a guard.

Later, he heard from his subordinates that Nangong Yao often secretly went to the prime minister's residence and stood outside Yu Xiaoqiao's house for half the night, and no one knew what he was doing.

Originally, I didn't think much about it. I just thought that he wanted to verify all the novelty and weirdness of Yu Xiaoqiao.

But today, he ran into Yu Xiaoqiao at the inn, and Yu Xiaoqiao was staring at him in a daze.

Just now Yu Xiaoqiao looked at him from afar again, but Nangong Yao was the strange one, as if he was a mouse seeing a cat.

Qi Tianyi's doubts surged out like a flood.

Although Nangong Yao did not look back, he always felt that the back of his head was being stared at by an eagle's eyes. He stopped suddenly while walking, turned around and was bombarded with a long string of words.

"To tell you the truth, I fell in love with Princess Anping, Yu Xiaoqiao, at first sight, and I couldn't help myself... But she was in love with that Young Master Si, and I didn't want to ruin it... So, I could only bury my deep love in my heart and endure the pain of unrequited love alone..."

He was reciting lines as if he was memorizing them, and his expression was particularly exaggerated, which made Qi Tianyi laugh.
