Three days after Puyang Zheng returned to the court, he paid a large sum of money to redeem a young waiter from Hehuan Tower. This incident became widely known in the capital and caused an uproar.
Qi Yan, the culprit of the incident, officially moved into the General's Mansion.
Drinking hot tea leisurely, Qi Yan quietly read the book. According to him, Puyang Zheng prepared the wing closest to his study for Qi Yan, which showed how favored he was.
Outsiders didn't know Qi Yan's true identity, so they only insulted the sweetheart of Hehuan Tower, which deceived the upright general.
Qi Yan ignored those rumors. It was not the emperor, the prime minister, or the people who should be worried now, but Puyang Zheng who was pacing back and forth in his room.
"What do you mean?"
Continuing to read the book, Qi Yan said silently: "This is a stupid crime for the general."
"What?" Puyang Zheng was angry: "You are so presumptuous! How can I destroy the Puyang family's wisdom for generations?"
[The male protagonist's favorability towards Qi Yan is -10, current favorability: -5]
Qi Yan was not in a hurry, but choked: "If you really lose another wife, it will ruin the Puyang family's reputation."
Hearing this, Puyang Zheng had nothing to say.
"When I go to the palace tomorrow, the general must follow my words, so that the emperor can relent and let go of the engagement."
"No matter what the emperor asks tomorrow, you have to say that we are old acquaintances and have already fallen in love with each other. We can't admit it because of secular and official affairs."
"Your Majesty, if you ask more questions, you can blame me for trivial matters. Just say that I heard that you married another wife, and I felt unwilling and resentful..."
"Also, the general will have to perform a play with me later..."
A real drama.
Puyang Zheng didn't realize it yet, so he just said: "What's the matter?"
Putting down the book in his hand, Qi Yan stood up and walked towards Puyang Zheng with light steps. As she walked around, her robe slipped off, revealing her slim and slender figure, which was really not covered with hair.
"What are you doing!" Pu Yangzheng's face froze, with a hint of redness.
Qi Yan smiled without saying a word and quietly approached Puyang Zheng. Before Puyang Zheng could recover, he put his hands on his broad shoulders.
"You!" Puyang Zheng wanted to push him away with his hand, but he touched the smooth skin of his hand, which made him a little distraught.
Without leaving any chance to Pu Yangzheng, Qi Yan leaned forward and pressed his lips fiercely.
Although this was not the first time they kissed, Pu Yangzheng looked even more confused. He glared at Qi Yan and looked into his smiling eyes.
"Well… "
Qi Yan let out a muffled groan.
The tongue that wanted to drive straight in hit the white teeth, and Qi Yan took a deep breath in pain.
"It's so confusing..."
"Don't understand Fengqing?" Pu Yangzheng pulled away from his cold body and repeated, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"The general has no wife and is very self-sufficient. Is it possible that he really has no needs..." The hoarse voice coupled with Qi Yan's charming appearance really made people swallow their saliva.
Qi Yan's explicit words caused a blush to appear on Pu Yangzheng's resolute face. He took two steps back, trying to distance himself from Qi Yan, but Qi Yan took two steps forward reluctantly. Helpless, Puyang Zheng stepped away again, and Qi Yan followed...
Qi Yan only found it funny. Puyang Zheng didn't look like a general on the battlefield at this moment. He was obviously a shy white-faced scholar. Seeing his appearance, Qi Yan began to wonder if he was asking too much...
Puyang Zheng stepped back, stumbled, and fell down on the hard couch. Seeing that Qi Yan did not stop, but walked over even faster, he couldn't help but shouted: "Stop! Don't come forward again!"
"How can the play stop before the audience comes?"
