After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Nian Su Su comforted her, "I know."

Xiao Yunzheng's eyes turned red, and her voice choked with sobs, "I've never seen big brother so decadent, I'm scared..."

She hugged Nian Susu and cried, burying her head in her shoulder and crying bitterly.

There was no one here, so she could express her grief to her heart's content.

Nian Susu hugged her back and stroked her back gently, "Don't worry, Master Xiao is a serious person and he takes the overall situation into consideration. He just can't accept it for the time being, but he will be fine once he figures it out."

She said it lightly, and she couldn't guarantee that she could accept it calmly if such a thing happened to her.

Xiao Yunzheng cried and told her: "Big brother really likes Yao Yuan very much... He read books and practiced calligraphy for her, and learned to play the piano and flute. Even though he has no talent at all, and even though my second brother and I laughed at him many times, he never gave up.

Once he was drunk, I asked him a question, he smiled like a fool, and said cheerfully: "Miss Li said this is the taste of literati and scholars, I want to learn to understand her world. Although I am a rough man, I am willing to learn for her."

She pushed Nian Susu away, her almond-shaped eyes were full of tears, she sniffed and the tears fell even harder, "Big brother never felt inferior before, but now he always feels that he is not worthy of Yao Yuan."

When you like someone, you will feel that you are not worthy of him in every way. You are afraid that you are not doing well enough and that you are afraid of making him annoyed.

Nian Susu listened to Xiao Jianting's story, but she thought of another person...

Xiao Yunzheng asked her innocently: "Lingling, do you think Yaoyuan likes big brother?"

After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "I like it."

Xiao Yunzheng finally smiled, her tears turning into laughter, but her eyes were still filled with sadness. The two of them liked each other, but they couldn't be together...

"Okay, stop crying." Nian Susu helped her wipe the tears off her face. "Don't worry, I'll pass on the message."

Only then did Xiao Yunzheng stop crying.

The two walked together towards Xizhimen.

At the intersection leading to Xizhimen and the East Palace, she saw Qin Junyu.

The wind was freezing and he was wearing thin clothes. His black cloak was blown away, revealing the moon-white robe underneath. His whole body was wrapped in the wind, swaying.

He was talking to a minister.

Xiao Yunzheng saw that she was staring at a certain place, so she followed her line of sight.

She could recognize Qin Junyu's back at a glance.

She remembered what Nian Qiaoyue had said. Although she did not believe most of them, there was one thing she was half-believing and half-doubting - Nian Susu liked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

She had already gotten the definite answer to this question from what happened later.

She also said that if Nian Susu liked Qin Junyu, she would compete with her fairly and would never play tricks behind her back.

They had not yet become friends.

Now that they have a good relationship, Xiao Yunzheng has not deliberately thought about the relationship between the three of them, and pretends to be ignorant even though she knows the truth.

They were in sync about the matter of Qin Junyu, and no one mentioned it in front of the other, probably because they both wanted to avoid the topic.

Qin Junyu stood between the two of them like a forbidden area. No one wanted to mention him, and no one dared to mention him.

Now that I meet him face to face, I have to think about it.

How does she balance these two relationships?

What about Nian Susu? She must know that she likes Qin Junyu, so how will she decide?

Qin Junyu looked at them and saw that the minister who had talked to him had left. He was standing alone below. They walked down the stairs.

The three of them stared at each other from a distance. The first one to look away was Nian Susu. She lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "It's getting late. Let's go."

They were still some distance away from Qin Junyu and did not pass by him. He wanted to say something but did not open his mouth.

Xiao Yunzheng suddenly stopped, pushed away Nian Susu's hand and smiled, "Brother Yu seems to have something to say to you, go over."

Her smile was so genuine that it made Nian Susu feel guilty.

Half of her heart told her not to go, but the other half urged her to go.

Nian Susu didn't look at him, "No need, let's go."

He pretended to leave and his foot had already stepped out.

Xiao Yunzheng suddenly raised her voice and shouted to Qin Junyu: "Brother Yu, come here."

It was so sudden that Nian Susu stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.

"Lingling, my father is still waiting for me, I'm leaving first!" She shrugged nonchalantly.

Qin Junyu was already walking towards them. Xiao Yunzheng was afraid that she would regret it if she stayed any longer, so she left quickly.

The moment she turned around, she began to understand her brother's feelings.

Feeling the approaching footsteps behind her, Nian Susu suddenly became flustered. She said very quickly: "Your Highness, I have something else to do. I'll take my leave first."

Nian Susu wanted to catch up with Xiao Yunzheng who was walking hurriedly in front of her, but just as she took a step, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Her body turned around and then she fell into a strong chest, and the scent of cedar filled her nose.

"Why are you running away?" His voice came from above her head, like the sound of jade, striking her heart again and again.

Nian Susu blushed and pushed him away, "Your Highness, someone is coming."

Her eyes fell behind him, and someone was coming out of Qinghui Palace and walking towards the stairs.

Qin Junyu didn't even look at her. With a sullen face, he pulled her to the back of the huge stone lion statue next to them. The shadow cast a large area that enveloped the two of them.

They stood face to face, she looked up at him nervously.

He rolled his throat, suddenly moved forward and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, not giving her a chance to breathe.

"Your Highness..." Nian Susu tried to push him away, but her struggle seemed completely useless to him and she didn't move at all.

"Please don't push me away, okay?" Qin Junyu's almost pleading tone sounded both pitiful and heartbreaking.

She really stopped and let him hold her quietly.

There was no smell of alcohol on him, and he had not touched the wine during the meal, so he was sober and knew clearly what he was doing at the moment.

She couldn't help but wonder why Qin Junyu, who was always quiet and self-restrained, would do such an abnormal thing?

Could it be that she was frightened by the emperor's marriage?

Nian Susu was also scared when she thought about it. What if one day the emperor also casually assigned her to a certain young master on a whim? What would she do? Could she only accept her fate and marry someone she didn't love like Wang Yuejiao?

After thinking this over, she raised her hand to respond to the hug.

Qin Junyu let her go.

Both of their faces were pale with a hint of red, especially Qin Junyu, who already had a sickly pale complexion, and even a little bit of red could make it stand out.

He calmed down and thought about his actions just now. He felt very guilty, "Miss Nian... I'm sorry."

Nian Susu's heart was beating wildly.

He hugged her and apologized, but he didn't say what he meant. She was too embarrassed to ask, so she could only scratch her head and change the subject, thinking that what happened just now was an illusion.

"Is your injury... feeling better?" She pointed at his right shoulder.
