The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

I don't know what he was thinking, he didn't even notice her walking behind him.

Hongping was about to call for She Yuyan, but Fang Qingyou made a shushing gesture to her, indicating not to disturb her.

Then, he tiptoed behind She Yuyan, patted her shoulder hard, and quickly slipped aside.

She Yuyan was startled. When she turned around, she found that there was no one behind her at all.

When he saw Hongping trying to suppress her laughter, he became even more puzzled.

Although Hongping was always close to her, her behavior never crossed the line between master and servant.

Then, they saw Fang Qingyou hiding behind a pillar.

In fact, She Yuyan only saw a pale yellow hem of clothing and was certain that it was Fang Qingyou, so she immediately got up and ran behind the pillar.

Only then did a glimmer of light appear in his eyes.

When Fang Qingyou realized that She Yuyan had discovered her, she immediately turned and ran away, but She Yuyan chased after her and quickly caught up with her.

"Qingyou, you little rascal, you actually bullied me..." She Yuyan looked resentful and grabbed Fang Qingyou to tickle her.

"Yu Yan, spare me! I was just playing with you... Haha... Ah..." Fang Qingyou was extremely ticklish, and she quickly begged for mercy.

"I won't let you off easily!" She Yuyan refused to let Fang Qingyou off the hook until she tickled her until she laughed until tears streamed down her face before she finally let her go.

"Hmph, Qingyou, you little rascal, let's see if you'll be naughty next time! If you're naughty again, I won't let you off so easily next time."

"I won't dare, I won't dare!" Fang Qingyou quickly shook her head.

Only then did a smile appear on She Yuyan's face: "That's a good girl!"

Seeing that She Yuyan still looked unenthusiastic, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but ask, "Yuyan, is something wrong? Why are you so unhappy? Tell me, and I'll cheer you up!"

Just as She Yuyan was about to speak, upon hearing the second half of the sentence, her face darkened, and she made a move to tickle Fang Qingyou again.

Startled, Fang Qingyou quickly begged for mercy: "Yu Yan, please, I was just joking, just joking!"

She Yuyan snorted, her expression brightening slightly.

Fang Qingyou's expression turned serious: "Yu Yan, what exactly happened?"

She Yuyan has a cheerful personality and is rarely seen looking worried.

She Yuyan sighed before speaking, and then said, "Qingyou, I'm so annoyed. My father told me that when he went to the palace yesterday, the Emperor said that I'm not young anymore and it's time for me to get married. He even asked my father if he had any suitable candidates so that I could name them and he could arrange a marriage for me..."

"Pfft—" Fang Qingyou couldn't help but laugh. She knew it was very unfair, but she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of She Yuyan's blind date.

When they entered the palace yesterday, Emperor Mingde did speak with She Ruifeng alone for a while. I didn't expect that they would talk about marriage matters in addition to state affairs.

Enraged, She Yuyan punched Fang Qingyou hard: "Qingyou, you're laughing all the time, and you're not even sad for me, you're just gloating!"

Fang Qingyou rubbed her aching arm and said innocently, "Yu Yan, I'm not gloating. I just wonder what kind of person is lucky enough to marry a woman like you."

Cough cough, although she was indeed secretly gloating.

She Yuyan has always been fearless, but I never expected her to be afraid of blind dates.

No matter how she looked at Fang Qingyou, she felt that Fang Qingyou was laughing at her. She glared at her fiercely and said, "Qingyou, don't be too happy yet. Let me tell you, you can't escape it either. The Emperor said that he intends to hold a banquet and invite all the unmarried young ladies and gentlemen of noble families. Then he will decide on a few couples..."

Fang Qingyou's expression changed instantly, and then she could no longer laugh.

If that's the case, then she would also be among those invited. Would Emperor Mingde arrange a marriage for her?

A ruler's word is law. Will she have to marry whomever Emperor Mingde betroths her to?

Fang Qingyou said it was terrifying.

She doesn't want to get married yet. She hasn't reached the age of adulthood in ancient times, and even if she had, she still can't accept that a teenage girl would get married.

She hasn't even enjoyed her youth enough, and she's already getting married?

puff--

Just thinking about getting married at such a young age makes her want to vomit blood.

Now, it's She Yuyan's turn to laugh.

"Qingyou, why are you not smiling anymore? Weren't you smiling happily just now?"

"Yu Yan, you must be joking with me, right?"

She Yuyan didn't answer, but just smiled and looked at Fang Qingyou: "What do you think?"

A hint of bitterness appeared on Fang Qingyou's face: "Yu Yan, I'm so young, surely it's not my place to be arranged a marriage by the Emperor?"

"Are you young? If I remember correctly, you'll be of marriageable age next March. How can that be considered young? Many young ladies from noble families start getting engaged as early as ten. You're almost fifteen now. Are you still young?"

Fang Qingyou's face immediately darkened.

She always felt that she was very young, and she knew about these things, but she just felt that marriage was something very far removed from her life.

Previously, Madam Ren had often brought up the matter of marriage with her, but she only told her to pay more attention and consider it if she met a suitable man.

But now that She Yuyan has said that, she feels like she's become an old maid.

Seeing Fang Qingyou's expression, She Yuyan laughed heartily.

That smile dispelled much of my worries.

Seeing She Yuyan smile made Fang Qingyou feel even more depressed.

However, she couldn't say anything, since she was the one who gloated first; this was karma.

Fang Qingyou still harbored a sliver of hope: "Yu Yan, if the Emperor were to arrange a marriage, he would probably choose a prominent family, right? Someone as insignificant as me, he probably wouldn't care, would he?"

"Qingyou, you're not exactly a nobody, are you?" She Yuyan looked at Fang Qingyou strangely. "You're the daughter of a second-rank official! Even if you don't mention that, you're still the Princess of Ping'an, personally bestowed by the Emperor. Besides, you were only bestowed this title yesterday. In addition, you made outstanding contributions in quelling the insect plague in the south. How could the Emperor not pay attention to you?"

He paused for a moment, then said with certainty, "Qingyou, I believe that if the Emperor were to arrange a marriage, you would definitely be one of the chosen ones!"

After hearing all this, Fang Qingyou almost burst into tears.

She actually understood all of this, but she just wanted to escape it. She didn't expect that She Yuyan would point it out so directly, extinguishing the last bit of hope in her heart.
