Chapter 119 Say You Love Me
Ruoyun sighed: "Now that you put it that way, Ren Yue is quite pitiful."
Ye Youlan smiled gently: "Hurry up and put away your sympathy. Once you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will no longer feel pity for her."
Chen Xiaoling said, "She's really annoying. I won't talk about her anymore."
Ye Youlan pointed at the two people standing under the tree in front: "Chen Su and Li Chuang are over there, go take a walk!"
"What about you?"
"Of course I'm going to find my prince."
In Fengwan Pavilion, the Seventh Prince changed out of his dinner clothes. He didn't like the smell of alcohol on his body. To be more precise, it was Ye Youlan who didn't like the smell of alcohol on him.
Seeing Ye Youlan coming back, he wondered: "I thought you were going to talk for a long time?"
"Ren Yue came and looked upset, so I came back."
Seeing that she was unhappy, the Seventh Prince came over and took her hand: "How about we go home if you're upset?"
"No, if I leave early, it means I care about her very much. I have to stick with her until the last day. And tomorrow you don't have to go anywhere, just stay with me."
"why?"
"I want to piss off Ren Yue to death so that she can only see you but can't touch you."
A smile appeared on the Seventh Prince's cold face: "Finally I see you jealous of me."
"Bah, she doesn't deserve my jealousy. I just want to piss her off."
The Seventh Prince took a small stuffed doll from the table and handed it to Ye Youlan: "This is a gift I got from throwing darts. It's for you."
"Why only one?"
"I'll just throw it once."
Ye Youlan smiled: "Do you know? These gifts were all made by our embroiderer."
When the Seventh Prince heard this, he quickly took back the doll: "Then I'll take it back."
Ye Youlan snatched it away: "Why would you take it back after you gave it to me? Even though it's not worth much, because it was given by you, it is now a priceless treasure."
Ye Youlan tied the little doll to her belt and asked the Seventh Prince if it looked good.
"It looks good." The Seventh Prince said it looked good, but his eyes were fixed on the hairpin in Ye Youlan's hair. It was just a simple silver hairpin without any decoration.
"This hairpin is too plain. When did you buy it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Youlan pulled out the hairpin and said with a smile, "My eldest brother gave it to me. He has two women with him now, and he wanted to be a good match, so he bought two identical hairpins. I stopped him, but how can you give a gift like that?"
The Seventh Prince laughed, "I think General Ye is enjoying it."
Ye Youlan curled her lips and said, "Which man doesn't want to be hugged by women?"
The Seventh Prince hugged Ye Youlan and said, "I don't want to. I only want to be with you in this life."
"Men's words are deceiving. When I'm old, with wrinkles on my face and a bloated body, will you still cling to me like this? I don't believe it."
"If I become an old man, will you dislike me?"
Ye Youlan said firmly: "No, even if you are old, you are still a handsome old man."
"You believe in yourself so much, why can't you firmly believe in me?"
Ye Youlan didn't want to discuss this hypothetical topic. She smiled and looked at the Seventh Prince: "We don't need to dwell on things that haven't happened, nor do we need to make vows to express our feelings. Let everything take its course and live in the present. The most important thing is that I can feel your affection right now."
"You're just going to muddle through?"
"Cherish the moment."
"But why do I feel like you're still not confident in entrusting yourself to me?"
Ye Youlan's beautiful eyes wandered as she asked, "How can I prove my feelings to you so that you can believe that I am willing to spend my life with you?"
The Seventh Prince raised his head and thought for a moment, then whispered, "Say you love me."
Ye Youlan laughed: "It's too corny, I can't say it."
The Seventh Prince looked at her disappointedly: "If you said you loved me from the bottom of your heart, it wouldn't be so corny."
Ye Youlan found him really childish, so she put her face against the Seventh Prince's chest and whispered, "Li Ke, I love you."
The Seventh Prince was very satisfied. He hugged Ye Youlan tightly and replied, "Ye Youlan, I love you too. More than you can imagine."
"I know that you have loved me for several years when I didn't know you loved me, and you have done a lot for me. I am very grateful to you."
The Seventh Prince pushed Ye Youlan away and looked at her in confusion: "What have I done for you? How come I don't know?"
Ye Youlan said coquettishly: "You don't need to know, anyway, I know that you love me very much."
The next day, the women went to enjoy the flowers, while the men went fishing, drinking tea, and playing chess. Li Zong, Li Chuang, Zhang Liang, and Chen Su were all busy with official duties and would probably not arrive until the evening.
Chen Xiaoling envied the prince for his cleverness. It was good to be a leisurely prince.
Ren Yue and Yu Rou held hands and went to appreciate the flowers, talking and laughing, looking very intimate.
Chen Xiaoling signaled Youlan, Miaoyu and Ruoyun to look at them with her eyes.
"Is Yu Rou deliberately trying to piss us off?"
Ye Youlan glanced at him and said, "Yu Rou may not be the one, but Ren Yue is definitely the one."
"Let's go to the pavilion and have some tea. Out of sight, out of mind."
Ren Yue smelled the fragrance of the flowers in front of her, but her eyes turned to the backs of the people who left and said, "They went to the pavilion to drink tea. Should we go over? Will it disturb them? I always feel that they don't like me very much."
Yu Rou also looked over there and saw four people sitting in the pavilion talking and laughing. She smiled faintly: "It's too small there, there's not enough space for so many people. I'll walk around with my sister for a while."
Ren Yue said nothing more. She stretched out her slender hand, Yu Rou took it, and the two continued to walk forward.
"You're going back to the city tomorrow. I wonder if we'll have another chance to enjoy flowers and drink tea together like this in the future?"
Ren Yue's voice was filled with a hint of sadness, and she seemed very lonely. "I've been in Beijing for such a long time and I'm the only one who can talk to you."
Yu Rou smiled: "Sister, you can come to my house to play, or you can stay at my house."
Ren Yue forced a smile: "I am a widow, don't you mind?"
"Sister, why do you have to belittle yourself? I, Qin Yurou, only value character when making friends. I am willing to date people if we can get along well."
"Then I will bother you later, and you must treat me well."
Ren Yue mentioned her aunt's love for her intentionally or unintentionally, and said that when she entered the palace, she would definitely say a few good words for Yu Rou in front of the empress dowager.
Yu Rou was very grateful: "My father-in-law is ill and it will be difficult for him to return to serve the court for several months. My husband is only a fourth-rank official now. It will be difficult for him to get promoted without someone to look after him. I will trouble you, sister."
When Ren Qishan entered the palace, the emperor just chatted with him for a few words and sent him away. As for his desire to personally select the person to teach the prince, the emperor said he had already made arrangements.
Ren Qishan was very angry and went to see the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother warned him not to overreach, fearing that it might backfire.
Ren Qishan sneered, "If I hadn't made plans sooner, I would have been led by the nose. The ten princes are all relatively close in age, so which of the concubines' families wouldn't be wary of them? The Queen is frail and childless, so the eldest prince is being raised under her name, but mother and son are alienated, so he's ultimately unreliable."
The Queen Mother's face gradually turned cold: "What do you want to do?"
Ren Qishan smiled proudly: "I haven't decided what to do yet, but the teacher who teaches the prince must be my person, and the successor must be trained slowly."
The Queen Mother frowned. She asked, "That Li Da is already useless. Are you considering throwing the chess piece away?"
Ren Qishan nodded: "The Seventh Prince has never given up on investigating the Liangcheng ambush case. I will slowly lead the clues to Li Da, and then the chess piece will be lost."
