Quick Wear: Saving Three Thousand Matches

Kong Kong: [Master, I know I was wrong.]

How could it be so outspoken? It actually forgot the unpredictable nature of its master. Woo woo woo...

At this time, Jin Jiusi was lying quietly on the windowsill of the room, his eyes passing over the numerous courtyards and pavilions, and fixed on the exquisite rockery pavilion in the distance.

She frowned slightly and ordered, "See what Yun Chenyu is busy with in the palace right now?"

It's getting late, why is he still not coming back?

Kong Kong: Wuuuuu... I have completely fallen out of favor!

I originally thought that I was finally released from prison and regained my freedom.

I never thought that the giant needed me to serve as a tool to gather information.

Then the scene changed and we arrived at the imperial palace, the Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, all matters concerning the court meeting have been prepared."

"That's very good. Chen Yu, it's getting late, why don't you stay and have dinner with me and the Queen before leaving the palace."

"Your Majesty, I have guests at home. I have already spent too long in the palace. If I were to return late, I would be neglecting the guests. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Oh? Yun Xiang's guest? I wonder if it's a man or a woman?"

A teasing voice came from outside the door. Yun Chenyu and Feng Qiansu looked over and saw Queen Qi Lingyue coming in with a group of palace maids and eunuchs carrying meals.

"Your Majesty, the Queen!"

Yun Chenyu stood up to salute, but was stopped by Qi Lingyue.

"No need to be polite. Let's talk about the guest from Yun Xiang."

Qi Lingyue raised her eyebrows as she spoke, then walked over to Feng Qiansu and sat down.

"It's... a woman." Yun Chenyu said with his eyes lowered.

Qi Lingyue looked at him in surprise, then chuckled and said, "Has the Prime Minister...changed his personality? I just heard during the day that the Prime Minister went to the Duke's Mansion to cancel the engagement. Could it be because of this guest?" She looked at Yun Chenyu with a playful expression.

Yun Chenyu blushed slightly and quickly shook his head to deny, "Your Majesty, please don't tease me. She is just my good friend."

Feng Qiansu was moved upon seeing this, and spoke to his relief, saying, "Lord Yun, you must be tired after helping me with government affairs all day. Anxi, serve the meal."

Yun Chenyu was about to open his mouth to refuse when he heard Qi Lingyue say, "Since His Majesty has said so, Prime Minister Yun should stay."

He hesitated for a moment, then replied, "As you command."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Xi beside him shouted, "Serve the meal—"

Immediately afterwards, several palace maids and eunuchs placed the meal that had been prepared long ago on the dining table.

The three of them sat around the table in a harmonious atmosphere.

However, Yun Chenyu's mind was no longer here. He looked at the sky outside the window from time to time.

Seeing Yun Chenyu's absent-mindedness, Feng Qiansu and Qi Lingyue looked at each other and laughed.

"I wonder where this distinguished guest came from that made our Prime Minister Yun so worried?" Qi Lingyue joked.

Yun Chenyu's expression was a little unnatural. "A friend I met by chance when I went to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Oh? The friend who can make Yun Xiang look out the window so frequently must be extraordinary." Qi Lingyue blinked, showing a curious expression.

She didn't believe that they were really just friends. Everyone in the Imperial City knew that our Second Young Master Yun had always been in love with the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

Now, she broke off the engagement so easily. There must be something fishy going on. Her surname isn't even Qi!

When Yun Chenyu heard Qi Lingyue's words, his face turned slightly red.

Seeing this, the emperor burst into laughter. "Yue'er, please stop teasing Prime Minister Yun. However, I am also a little curious about Prime Minister Yun's friend. I would like to invite you to the palace some other day."

Yun Chenyu was startled and quickly stood up to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After dinner, Yun Chenyu got up and said goodbye.

Qi Lingyue looked at his back thoughtfully, with a smile on her lips.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea." Qi Lingyue said softly to Feng Qiansu.

"What's your idea? Yue'er, tell me about it." Feng Qiansu asked curiously.

"I want to hold a banquet and invite the nobles of the capital to attend, and also invite Yun Xiang's friend." Qi Lingyue said with a smile.

"Well, that's a good idea." Feng Qiansu nodded, "Let's see who the friends of my Yun Xiang are."

At this moment, the Yun Mansion was brightly lit, as bright as day.

As soon as Yun Chenyu stepped into the courtyard, he heard a surprised cry: "Master, you are finally back!"

Xiao Shu was holding a lantern at this moment, carefully lighting the candles in the corridor.

When he looked up and saw Yun Chenyu walking in quickly from outside the door, an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face, and he hurriedly took two steps at a time to greet him.

"Master, you haven't eaten yet, right? The food is being warmed up in the small kitchen. Xiao Shu will go and bring it to you now."

"No need, I've already had it in the palace. Have you...had dinner with her?" Yun Chenyu asked casually.

"Sir, we have used them all before." Xiao Shu answered truthfully

Yun Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then asked, "That's good, what about her?"

"She went back to her room after dinner. I'm afraid she has already rested." Xiao Shu replied.

Why is the young master so concerned about that girl of unknown origin?

"By the way, sir. She injured the servants brought by Sister Qingyu during the day." Xiao Shu said a little awkwardly.

Yun Chenyu stopped walking after hearing this and asked, "Is she hurt?"

Xiao Shu shook his head and said, "No, but Sister Qingyu is Madam's person, so I'm afraid..."

Shouldn’t the young master’s first reaction be to ask whether the lady is angry?

Actually...

"That's fine. Xiaoshu, go down and prepare some hot water for bathing."

"Yes, son."

Yun Chenyu sent Xiao Shu away and turned to walk towards Jin Jiusi's room.

Looking at the dim room, he took a deep breath and carefully pushed the door open and went in.

He lit the candlestick, walked to the bed and sat down gently, staring quietly at Jin Jiusi who was sleeping soundly.

Her sleeping face is peaceful and serene, as innocent as a child.

But Yun Chenyu knew that this was not her true appearance.

Yun Chenyu reached out and helped her pull the quilt that was not covered properly, with a hint of pampering in his eyes.

Suddenly, his hand was clamped, his head spun around, and he was pinned down on the bed by Jin Jiusi.

"My Lord Prime Minister, you will have to pay the price for disturbing my sweet dream." Jin Jiusi smiled evilly and reached out to pinch the hair on his shoulders and rubbed it gently.

Yun Chenyu looked at the beautiful and charming fox eyes and asked with a smile, "Miss, how do you want me to pay the price?"

"Of course, that's right."

She tilted her head slightly, closed her beautiful eyes, and moved her lips directly towards the person in front of her.

In an instant, a hot and ambiguous atmosphere spread.

After a long time, Jin Jiusi left his lips.

Yun Chenyu's face flushed, and she stammered, "You, you..."

Jin Jiusi chuckled, leaned close to his ear, and exhaled like orchid: "This lady just wants to taste the taste of the Prime Minister..."
