Wei Ziyu wiped away the tears on Ye Zhen's face little by little, and the previous irritability disappeared. His quiet and silent appearance seemed to have returned to his usual scholarly appearance, gentle and gentle, but also unfathomable.
"Okay, stop crying. Cry until your eyes are red. As soon as you go out, others will know that I hurt you."
Sure enough, she stopped crying, but her eyes still looked at him with nervousness and fear, and a vague sense of helplessness.
Wei Ziyu sighed softly. He hugged her to his chest, and his tall body enveloped her completely. He could no longer maintain his pretentious ferocity in front of her: "Zhenzhen, come to the teahouse in three days."
Ye Zhen was stunned, shook her head and said: "No, I won't come, we shouldn't see each other again."
Wei Ziyu threatened; "If you don't come, I will bite your lip again."
She paused: "What can I do if I come? Even if I meet you, it can't change the fact. You and I have become a thing of the past, and there is no possibility of it anymore..."
His hand holding her suddenly tightened, and his voice was cold: "I just want you to come, and you don't have to worry about anything else."
She frowned for a long time and finally nodded.
Only then did Wei Ziyu feel happy. He let go of her and carefully arranged her messy clothes and hairpins. He held her cheek in his palm and said, "You go back first. Don't be afraid. I have taken care of it."
He watched Ye Zhenpinting's figure walking away, her hairpin swaying slightly, her figure thin, her waist slender and not too bulky. She was suitable for wearing white clothes without any powder, so she would be as beautiful as a fairy. She was also suitable for adding jewels, silk and satin to make her look radiant. Eye-catching and noble.
Just like his father who loved beauties, he couldn't help but have a look of obsession in his eyes when he saw her. When he learned that she was Mrs. Qin Zheng, he actually felt a little regretful.
His father was once a wise man, but in his later years, he became arrogant, stupid, and debauched.
Li Wen quickly came to his side, bowed and said: "Your Highness, Miss Ye has returned to Linde Hall safe and sound, and no one found anything wrong."
Wei Ziyu hummed, then frowned and said, "Go and find out what happened to her in the past year. Everything is detailed. I want to know everything."
Li Wen was confused for a moment, and Wei Ziyu's eyes turned cold: "Why don't you go quickly?"
Li Wen went immediately without hesitation.
Wei Ziyu felt that there was still a trace of bitterness on the tip of his tongue, and he could feel that she was not heartless towards him. Besides, she acted extremely openly every time she saw him, and her eyes never showed a trace of embarrassment and unnaturalness after abandoning him. Even when she found out his identity, her eyes were filled with shock but no regret.
He really couldn't understand her.
Ye Zhen is not a difficult woman. On the contrary, she is extremely simple. She once exchanged her paintings and embroideries for money. He thought she was short of money and thought about having someone buy her embroidery at a high price. Later he learned that she was actually not short. She just wanted to save some money just in case. She said she was a vulgar person, but he thought she was cute and innocent.
He could see everything she had on her face. She couldn't hide her words or what was on her mind.
However, after meeting again after half a year, she was able to hide her thoughts and wrap herself up tightly.
When Wei Ziyu returned to the Linde Hall, he heard his father laughing loudly and talking about the reward. The reward was for the dancing girl in the hall. The enchanting women in green skirts knelt on the ground and thanked them all.
He looked at Ye Zhen not far away. She was sitting quietly on one side with her eyes lowered. She seemed to have done nothing but he knew that she was nervous. Every time she was nervous, she would be extra quiet. Just like after he kissed her, she could blush for a long time without saying a word.
Wei Ziyu sat back in front of the case, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Ye Min shyly looked at Wei Ziyu from time to time, hoping that he would take a look at her. Unfortunately, he never looked at her from beginning to end, and probably didn't even think of her.
Ye Min's expectations turned into disappointment and anger, and she wrung her handkerchief into a mess. Mrs. Liu pressed her hand, and her eyes told her not to lose her composure. Ye Min endured it again and again, and finally suppressed her grievances. Secretly thinking, how great would it be if she also had Ye Zhen's beauty? How could the prince brother not see her
It was a pity that she didn't even say a word to Wei Ziyu until the banquet was over, so she could only return to the Prime Minister's Mansion full of reluctance.
She couldn't help but ask Ms. Liu: "Mom, my father holds an important position in the court and everyone comes to fawn over him. Why isn't the prince's brother getting close to my dad? And not getting close to me either?"
Mrs. Liu looked around and whispered: "The emperor is most afraid of forming cliques for personal gain. Even if the prince has the intention, he would not dare to do so. If he arouses the emperor's suspicion, his position as prince will not be guaranteed."
Now that he is getting older, in addition to his love for beauty, he is also obsessed with the way to immortality. He raises a Taoist priest who is an unknown person, which shows that he is greedy for power. How can he tolerate someone coveting his position
Ye Min bit her lip, feeling hot when she thought of the prince's majestic figure, and then felt embarrassed again. After all, she is a woman. No matter how much she likes someone, she cannot shamelessly chase him.
That night, Ye Zhen and Qin Zheng returned to the Hou Mansion. She took off her complicated robes, took off her golden hairpins, and had someone prepare water. After taking a bath, she finally felt better.
Xiao Xi curiously and enviously asked her if she had really seen the Holy Lord? Are the banquets in the palace different from ordinary people, in that the dishes are all made of gold and silver and are extremely luxurious? Then he mumbled and asked Ye Zhen to take her with him next time...
The reason why Ye Zhen didn't take her with her was that she knew that this girl couldn't stand the stimulation, and her temperament was not calm enough when she grew up carefree with her host, and the city was not deep enough. When she suddenly saw Wei Ziyu, she learned that the little scholar Wei Feng It was actually the current crown prince Wei Ziyu, so she couldn't help but kneel on the ground because of her weak legs? Of course Ye Zhen couldn't take her with him.
As for the appointment at the teahouse three days later, Ye Zhen held her chin in thought.
She was sitting in front of the window with her long, semi-wet hair. Xiao Xi was chattering next to her. After a while, Qin Zheng came back after going to the study. Ye Zhen looked back at him and called "Master Hou" with a smile, and then asked Xiao Xi Sent away.
Qin Zheng stood next to her and touched her long, slightly wet hair. Looking at her beautiful and blushing face, her cool and soft black hair slid down her fingers. He took the handkerchief on one side and wiped it for her: "Be careful. Catch a cold."
Ye Zhen leaned on his abdomen and looked up at him and said, "With Lord Marquis here, you won't catch a cold."
With a smile on his face, he asked her if she felt uncomfortable being in the palace today.
Ye Zhen shook her head and said no.
Qin Zheng said: "I rarely attend such banquets. I usually stay at home to recuperate and rarely go out. If we are afraid of trouble, we will stay at home more and not go."
Ye Zhen hummed and said: "I also grew up outside. Although my grandma taught me etiquette, I am used to a life of freedom. There are many rules in the palace. I am afraid that a single oversight will cause trouble for the Marquis. In the future, I will If you can avoid me, you can avoid me, okay?"
"It's okay. Although your husband is not very capable, he can still protect you."
She hugged his waist and hummed softly.
Qin Zheng threw the handkerchief aside, held Ye Zhen's cheek, leaned over and kissed her lips. She raised her head to kiss him, but remained silent when the man's fingers pulled away the belt at her waist. : "Master Hou, it can't work here..."
"Um?"
He pressed her under the window. She was particularly beautiful in the moonlight and welcomed him more than usual. He stroked the sweaty hair from her cheeks and leaned forward to kiss her.
…
The day agreed upon three days later arrived soon. Ye Zhen got up early that day and walked with Qin Zheng in the garden. After breakfast, he went to the study room and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can find a book to read." .”
Ye Zhen agreed and went to the study.
Xiao Xi said happily: "Master Hou treats the young lady so well!"
Ye Zhen smiled, thinking that Wei Ziyu didn't wait for her and didn't know how to be angry. Would he do something else again
That man was bold and arrogant. He used to make bold words from time to time when he was just a scholar. Now that his identity is known, there is no telling what he will do.
Over there, Wei Ziyu had been waiting at the teahouse for a long time. Even at noon, he didn't see the person he wanted to see.
Instead, Li Wen got the news that Ye Zhen had been raised by an old nanny in a temple outside the city. The old nanny was a person close to Ye Zhen's mother, Li. After Li's death, she asked to take care of Ye Zhen. He was partial to the Liu family and ignored Ye Zhen for more than ten years. It was not until the Holy Emperor intended to propose marriage to Qin Zheng that he took her back.
According to the servants in the palace, Ye Zhen had been trying to escape when she first returned. Ye Xiang caught her back several times, and finally locked her in the room. Ye Zhen asked her maid Xiao Xi to secretly go out to deliver letters, but unfortunately she was also caught. After being beaten half to death, Ye Zhen finally realized that Ye Xiang was cold-blooded and ruthless, so she finally gave up her thoughts of running away and settled down at home to be married.
These are relatively secret information. The Liu family has a good way of disciplining people, and the servants of the prime minister's house dare not say anything easily. Therefore, the outside world only knows that Ye Xiang's daughter who has been away from home for fifteen years is back, but they don't know whether his daughter is willing to marry. To Qin Zheng, judging from the current news, she should be unwilling.
Of course, the maid who once served Ye Zhen said that Xiao Xi was beaten, and Ye Xiang did not give the doctor any treatment and was prepared to let her die on her own. No matter how Ye Zhen cried and begged, it was useless, but one day later, she did not know what happened. What happened in the middle, Mrs. Liu actually called a doctor, and Xiao Xi saved her life.
Ye Xiang is a smart man, how could he do some secret things in front of his servants? Isn't this giving the handle to others? What's more, there is a cunning Liu next to him.
Wei Ziyu's face turned livid and he punched the tea table into pieces!
Li Wen didn't dare to say anything. He still remembered that he was as angry as he was today when the prince just received the heartless letter from Ye Zhen. He was puzzled, angry and heartbroken at the same time, but at the same time, he was Wei Ziyu was the current prince. He was extremely proud and confident. How could he accept the fact that he was dumped by a woman
He wrote her a reply, and when he couldn't wait for a reply, he went back to look for her, but the building was empty. He couldn't believe it, and immediately became furious. From then on, no one was allowed to mention Ye Zhen again.
If it hadn't been for the unexpected reunion half a year later, Ye Zhen might still be in Wei Ziyu's restricted area now.
Ye Zhen went to the study to have lunch with Qin Zheng. He took her to read for a while, and Ye Zhen became drowsy. He had no choice but to let Ye Zhen go to the bed on the side of the study to sleep for a while. Ye Zhen came to sleep right away. In the afternoon, when she got up, she saw Qin Zheng still maintaining the same posture as when she left, sitting quietly at the desk with a book in his hand and reading carefully.
"woke up?"
"Um."
She rubbed her eyes and went to sit next to him. She leaned on his shoulder for a while and said, "Master Marquis, I won't disturb your reading, so I will go back to your room first."
Qin Zheng watched her get up and leave the study, lowered his eyes, and turned the pages.
When Ye Zhen went back, she met the maid and the boy on the way. When she bowed and walked sideways, Ye Zhen suddenly felt a note stuffed in her hand.
She pinched the note into her palm and looked back. She really couldn't see any flaw.
She returned to the room and unfolded the note, with two words written on it: "Tomorrow."
Wei Ziyu didn't expect her today, so he made an appointment with her tomorrow.
