Men are superior to women: the heartthrob in Yunqi

Helian Yun stretched out his right hand, and his slender white fingers were like the translucent jade flute at his waist, and he picked up the cup in front of him steadily and forcefully. He lowered his eyes and looked at the "amber" in the cup, with a desperate look in his eyes. After a long time, he held up the bottom of the cup with his left hand, put his hands together, looked up at Mu Yao again, and drank it all in one gulp.

There was a sigh in the field. The ladies also looked sideways to see which pearl had attracted the attention of so many young men.

Mu Yao stood there in a daze, her almond-shaped eyes wide open. What did Helian Yun's actions mean? Was it what she was thinking? Suddenly, she was filled with thoughts.

Sometimes the sea of ​​my heart is filled with ripples, sometimes it is surging. Sometimes the waves are so high that I want to ride the wind and waves, and sometimes I retreat step by step and fear to move forward.

But Helian Qing beside him looked completely different. She was surprised and happy, and couldn't help trembling all over. After searching for her for a long time, her brother finally found the girl he liked!

Helian Qing turned to look at Mu Yao, then looked quietly at the gloomy-looking Xu Qingcheng in the distance. Her eyes darkened unconsciously, and she began to ponder carefully in her mind.

Xu Qingcheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly said goodbye to Ye Qinghan on the grounds that she had something to do at home. Ye Qinghan also had the same idea and suggested that he could go back with them. Xu Qingcheng couldn't refuse on the surface, but she didn't have time to care about it in her heart. Compared with Ye Qinghan, Helian Yun was a greater threat.

This man is as talented and beautiful as Yaolin Qiongshu, and he is also wild, chivalrous, and gentle. Putting aside his age disadvantage, Xu Qingcheng feels inferior to him. If you ask who in the world can compete with him, I'm afraid only Beiming Xieci can do it.

Mu Yao and Helian Qing were surprised by the arrival of Xu Qingcheng and Ye Qinghan.

Xu Qingcheng was worried that Mu Yao would be angry, so she wanted to take her ahead using Ye Qinghan's reputation.

The "Giveaway Willow" activity will begin soon. It's Mu Yao's first time attending the Spring Banquet, and she has to leave just as it starts. How is this different from admiring the moon when it's covered by clouds?

She was unwilling in her heart, but since the person was already in front of her, she said no more.

Helian Qing was anxious, holding Mu Yao and said without restraint: "Yaoyao, there are still many activities later, it's so fun. How about you stay and I'll take you back later?"

When Xu Qingcheng heard this, he was shocked. He stared at Helian Qing with an extremely unfriendly look.

Helian Qing was not afraid of his threats. She had disliked Xu Qingcheng for a long time. She usually looked aloof and kept strangers away, but she was actually a hypocrite in her bones.

Ye Qinghan smiled lightly, with a hint of amusement: "Ms. Helian is free today."

Helian Qing had a calm face and no guilt. She cleared her throat and said, "Your Highness, it was my second uncle and second aunt who asked me to follow my eldest brother. If you don't believe me, just ask him later." She didn't care about the position of Crown Princess. In her opinion, Ye Qinghan was not even a finger as good as Xie Ci, except that she was of noble birth. Her grandfather kept nagging her that she was the future backbone of the Helian family, but she was not that great! If Feng Xuanyan likes this seat, let her sit. Anyway, these two people are both conceited and aggressive, a perfect match!

Ye Qinghan showed a meaningful smile: "Thank you for your trouble, two elders." Then he looked at Mu Yao: "Lady Mu, there will be a lot of people when the Spring Banquet is over, why don't we go back together first?

Mu Yao was about to reply when she saw Helian Qing pulling at the corner of her clothes. She said, "Hey, I'd better take the Crown Prince's pleasure boat back first. I'll invite you to try some new dishes at Shuiyunjian some other day."

A painted boat? Helian Qing understood instantly: "Yaoyao, my brother and I came here on our private boat, so you don't have to worry about not having a boat to go back."

Ye Qinghan and Xu Qingcheng believed this!

The Helian family of Lanling County started out as a shipbuilding family and was the largest ship merchant in Dayun. One third of the royal warships were built by the Helian family. This was also the most important reason why Emperor Qingyuan liked Helian Qing.

Seeing Mu Yao was hesitant, Helian Qing said, "Yaoyao, there are still many steps to go. Are you willing to leave? Also, my boat is so beautiful. It is exquisite and sturdy, and it is made of teak. All the configurations inside are also the latest. There is only one in the world, and it was a birthday gift from my parents last year. Don't you want to go on it and play?"

Xu Qingcheng saw the change in Mu Yao's eyes and became uncertain.

Sure enough, Mu Yao said, "Brother Xu, why don't you go and do your work with the Crown Prince first? Don't worry about me."

Damn Helian Qing! Xu Qingcheng greeted her whole family in his heart! He was very disappointed with Mu Yao's reaction! Today was destined to be an unforgettable day. He finally experienced the feeling of shooting himself in the foot.

"I haven't seen Miss Helian being so enthusiastic towards others in the past. It seems that you and A Yao get along very well." Xu Qingcheng said with a forced smile.

Helian Qing didn't think that was the case. She felt Xu Qingcheng was warning her that she wanted to snatch Yaoyao from her.

She was really angry! Yunqi's women were precious, and Helian Qing was even more precious. From childhood to adulthood, which boy around her was not polite and caring to her? She narrowed her eyes slightly, and felt that it was necessary to help Mu Yao remind him.

Mi Li's eyes were full of disdain: "Mr. Xu, you and Yaoyao haven't gotten married yet, right? I heard that you will take part in this year's spring exam. I wonder how you are preparing? Everyone in the world calls "Mr. Hanmei" a romantic and elegant man. That lady and Yaoyao are waiting for the good news that you have passed the exam."

Yes! Xu Qingcheng still has to take the spring exam. How could she forget about this? Mu Yao couldn't help but blame herself. Xu Qingcheng was busy preparing for the wedding, and busy helping her manage "Shuiyunjian", and now he took time out of his busy schedule to accompany her to the Spring Banquet. When she thought of this, she said guiltily: "Brother Xu, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go back first. You have too many things to do."

Mu Yao didn't want Xu Qingcheng to stay with her. His eyes were too hot, always on her, and sometimes she felt tired. Mu Yao didn't like this suffocating feeling. Besides, Ye Qinghan was here. This man always liked to look at her with a half-smile, and his words were full of meaning, with a strong purpose.

Xu Qingcheng was in a dilemma now. Helian Qing's warning had sobered him up a bit. He didn't want Mu Yao to be unhappy, but he didn't want Helian Yun to take advantage of him. The situation was at a stalemate for a while.

It was Ye Qinghan who spoke up last and asked Xu Qingcheng to go back with him first.

Xu Qingcheng stood with her hands behind her back, veins bulging on the back of her hands from clenching her five fingers so hard.

Is it going to be unstoppable so soon?

He didn't dare to imagine and didn't want to think about it. He just wanted to leave quickly while he could still calm himself down.

Maybe I was really asking for too much and had a mental demon.

After they left, Helian Qing pulled Mu Yao down from the attic and joined the "Giving Willow Branches" activity with others.

The ladies plucked willow branches one after another, looking for the men they liked. The men responded by accepting the plucked willow branches.

The willows swayed by the green river. Soon, more and more talented men and beautiful women came together in pairs.

Mu Yao and Helian Qing stood under the tree.

The breeze blew by, and the beautiful hair secretly came out from under the fence, and was slightly lifted, which made the boys who were peeping at the beauty not far away have wild imaginations and were fascinated. However, no one of them came forward to disturb her, for fear of destroying this beautiful scenery.

Helian Qing was holding a broken willow branch in her hand, bored and gazing at the lovers on the other side of the river with envy.

She had had several lovers before, but she fell in love with Xie Ci at first sight at the "Yunqi Poetry Conference" held in Beiming. This was the first time she saw a peerless man who could be compared with her brother. After returning home, she cut off all her feelings and was willing to give up three thousand flowers for that stunning glimpse.

Mu Yaofu raised her head slightly, staring at a green branch not far from her head.

A piece of apricot blossoms hung from the top of the branch. She gently raised her jade feet, her snow-white ankles faintly visible. One of her slender jade hands held the branch tightly, while the other stretched out towards the blossoms, revealing a fat arm.

Suddenly, a shadow leaned over and took off the "concubine color" for her.

Looking back, a pair of deep eyes were looking at her with a smile, with countless tenderness and desire hidden in them. Mu Yao could still feel the man's warm breath through the veil. His extremely impactful and beautiful face was challenging every visual nerve of Mu Yao.

Her heart skipped a beat! She lost her balance and stumbled backwards. A big hand grasped her slender waist. Mu Yao could clearly feel the temperature of his palm, which was numb and hot!

"Is this what you want?" Helian Yun raised his mellow voice.

Mu Yao took a step back calmly and broke free from his restraints very naturally.

She stretched out her delicate hand, and her "heartfelt love" fell into her palm.

Under the veil, her delicate face was like fire, her eyes sparkling. Just as she was about to open her red lips, the extremely familiar voice behind her rang again.

"Yaoyao, Yaoyao, here I come!"

Mu Yao turned around suddenly and saw Zhao Huaian again!

She was completely confused! There were so many noble ladies wearing veils here, and she had changed her clothes, how could she be recognized like this?

Seeing that there was nothing on either side of him, Mu Yao rushed forward and covered his mouth tightly.

Zhao Huaian was dumbfounded. He actually had close contact with Yaoyao! Yaoyao's hands were so soft, and it felt so comfortable to put them on his face. But soon he lost this feeling. He felt a strong sense of suffocation, so he had to reluctantly pull Muyao's jade hand down, gasping for breath.

"Yaoyao, please be gentle, I'm almost suffocated to death."

Oh! You're right! I just want to smother you to death, smother you completely to death!

But thinking of the fat boy's 60 million taels of silver, she still gave him face and said kindly, "Brother Huai'an, don't shout so loudly, it will have a bad influence. Just call me Mu Yao, it's strange to call me Yaoyao."

Zhao Huaian pondered over Mu Yao's words in confusion: No way, it would be too formal to call her by her real name.

Helian Qing glared at Zhao Huaian with gritted teeth. What a beautiful painting! It was ruined by this fat guy.

Seeing how familiar Mu Yao and Zhao Huaian were, she became even angrier. She lifted her skirt, took two steps forward, and pushed his right shoulder hard.

Zhao Huaian was stunned, and when he came to his senses, his originally rosy face had turned as black as ink.

"Helian Qing, you are courting death, how dare you attack me!"

Zhao Huaian's fierce eyes were useless to Helian Qing, and did not stir up any ripples. But she was surprised that Zhao Huaian could recognize her? She asked cautiously: "How do you know it's me?"

Zhao Huaian looked at Helian Qing as if she was a fool: "Are you stupid? I can tell with my eyes!"

Mu Yao looked at Zhao Huaian thoughtfully. To confirm what she was thinking, she asked, "There are so many noble ladies wearing veils on their heads here. Do you recognize them all?"

Zhao Huaian smiled and said proudly, "As long as I have seen someone by name, I can recognize them by their figure."

His great grandfather taught him to read people since he was a child, and he also learned fortune-telling from several famous Feng Shui masters. His great grandfather said that these are skills that ordinary people don't often have, and learning them will benefit you for life.

Mu Yao nodded to Zhao Huaian in appreciation. The little fat boy was so wise that he seemed foolish. No wonder he could support the huge Floating Light Pavilion.

Zhao Huaian turned around and looked at Helian Qing coldly: "Helian Qing, you must let me come back today, otherwise don't even think about leaving." He didn't care about gentlemanly manners. Whoever dared to provoke him, he would get back double the reward.

The noise they made attracted the attention of people nearby.

Helian Qing calmly stretched out a slender jade finger and pointed to a place not far to his left.

Zhao Huaian looked in that direction and noticed that there was another person standing there. He looked closely and found that it was Helian Yun!

His great grandfather taught him from a young age that when he was out, he must learn to read people's expressions and judge the situation. Never make enemies with people who are stronger than you.

As luck would have it, Helian Yun was one of them. It was said that his martial arts were unfathomable, and he could even fight against the leader of the Bloodthirsty Pavilion. He was the strongest being!
