It’s me who likes you, and I—I also allow you to like you.
Zhao Ting held Tang Yuyao's hand without letting go, but he turned around and leaned against the edge of the tub to look at Tang Yuyao.
Tang Yuyao was slightly startled when she heard such words, but she couldn't believe it.
"Do you like...?" She looked down at Zhao Ting with a blank look in her eyes.
I wonder if it was the water vapor in the clean room that enveloped people, adding a touch of vague softness to people. Tang Yuyao looked at Zhao Ting at this moment, and what she saw was not the master who hated and disliked her, nor the master who ruthlessly ordered her to be killed. But... it was the man she had secretly liked for seven years, who would only smile and be gentle when facing her.
It was the man she knew well.
She felt sour in her heart, and her eye circles turned red uncontrollably, and her eyes were filled with tears that seemed like they would never fall out.
Zhao Ting wanted to laugh but felt distressed at the same time. The closest person to him had always been her, not Chen An. He didn't know that he liked her, he was just used to having her around and couldn't live without her. But this time she suddenly said that she wanted to leave and that she had someone she liked. Only in his anger did he suddenly realize that he might like her.
He wasn't sure when he said it just now, but now seeing her look like whether to cry or not, his heart softened for a moment, as if soaked in a pool of spring water, and he knew that he really liked her. of.
It's great that she likes him too.
Zhao Ting didn't need to ask at all. Just listening to Tang Yuyao's words, he guessed that the person he liked was a fabrication of hers. She clearly likes him, but she just doesn't dare to say it because of her status!
identity……
She was originally a girl from a good family, but after being rescued by him seven years ago, she followed him into the palace as a slave. It would be no problem for her to be promoted as his aunt, but in the future... he would eventually get married, right? Princess and concubine, what should she do?
With her status, let alone a princess, she was not even qualified to be his concubine.
Zhao Ting frowned slightly, thinking about countermeasures. Is he trying to find a way to create another identity for her, or is he just dragging it out? Neither his father nor his mother mentioned the matter of his choosing a concubine. If he doesn't choose a concubine, then Yuyao will be the only one in his house, no matter she is No matter what her status, no one can bully her.
"Yuyao." Zhao Ting called her softly, lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand, "Yuyao, don't worry, I will protect you and will never let anyone bully you."
When a man swears in front of the woman he likes, his tone is a bit harsh because he is serious about it.
But Tang Yuyao suddenly got excited and came back to her senses completely. All the charm and softness disappeared without a trace in an instant. Looking at the man in front of her, she couldn't see the tenderness and attachment in his eyes. All she could see was his ruthlessness and cruelty. Cold-blooded.
She moved her hands slightly, her eyes immediately lowered, and she tried hard to keep her voice from trembling: "I believe in you, this slave."
Do you really believe it?
Only a fool would believe it!
Zhao Ting was that fool now. He heard the wholehearted trust in Tang Yuyao's words, which put a big smile on his face. He couldn't help but want to pull Tang Yuyao into his arms and hug her tightly. But it was obviously not possible. Her face was as red as the morning glow in the sky. He was afraid that if he was too Meng Lang, she would not be able to accept it.
Although he really wanted to see her so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head, this was really not a good time.
Even if she could ignore what the people below said, she was still hungry.
Zhao Ting couldn't help but feel a little guilty, blaming him for being so angry earlier that he didn't even give her time to eat.
"I can wash it myself. You go and ask someone to bring some food." After shaking Tang Yuyao's hand, Zhao Ting finally reluctantly let go and took the handkerchief in her other hand.
Tang Yuyao was indeed out of breath. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, her secret would be exposed.
"Yes, slave, go right away." Without even asking what he wanted to eat, he hurriedly turned around and went out.
Zhao Ting laughed when he saw her panicking, thinking she was too shy.
Lan Xiang and Chen An were both at the door, and Yuqiu was standing in the dark not far away. When she saw Tang Yuyao coming out, Lan Xiang immediately stepped forward, mouthed into the room, and asked: "Sister Yuyao, what's wrong? "
Tang Yuyao shook her head and said: "Master wants to eat, go and ask the kitchen to bring it."
Young Master Lan Xiang had to ask, "Did Master say what you want to eat?"
She simply forgot to ask.
But presumably he couldn't care less about eating at the moment, so he couldn't be acting so happy. No matter whether he would kill this kitten or puppy in the future, but for now, he really liked it.
"Just a bowl of shredded chicken noodles and two snacks." This is what he usually eats.
Lan Xiang wrote it down and whispered, "Sister Yuyao, you haven't had dinner yet. Can I bring you two buns?"
She wasn't hungry at all.
"No, I'll take a break from serving the master for a while. Let's talk about it when we get back." Tang Yuyao said lightly.
That's what it's like to be a servant. Lan Xiang didn't try to persuade her anymore and hurried to the kitchen.
The master didn't take a break, so the kitchen didn't dare to neglect him, so as soon as Zhao Ting came out of the bathroom after putting on his clothes, hot shredded chicken noodles and snacks were brought into the room. Lan Xiang held the tray, and Tang Yuyao placed it on the table. Seeing him come out, they stood by the side with their hands down to invite him to eat.
Zhao Ting didn't act ridiculously in the clean room just now, but when he came out and saw Tang Yuyao still acting so well-behaved, he didn't like it. He didn't care about Lan Xiang. He stepped forward and took Tang Yuyao's hand and pressed her directly to the table. He sat down and said, "You've been busy and haven't been able to eat dinner yet, so hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"
What?
This is not what the master wants to eat, but is it for Sister Yuyao?
Lan Xiang forgot to go out and stood aside, covering her mouth in disgrace.
Tang Yuyao was also surprised: "Aren't you hungry?"
Zhao Ting felt like he was crazy. Why did he like her so unexpectedly? It was so cute. He couldn't hold it back, and smiled and tapped Tang Yuyao's face. The tender and smooth touch almost made him forget what to say: "...I have eaten a lot for dinner. I'm not hungry. This is specially requested for you. "
"...Oh." Tang Yuyao took the chopsticks handed by Zhao Ting.
If there wasn't a trace of reason left, Lan Xiang would have wanted to scream, God, the master is... is he going to take over Sister Yuyao? It's great that the master is so considerate to Sister Yuyao. She can't help but want to giggle just looking at her. This is so happy!
She actually had a silly smile on her face: "Master, that slave will leave first."
Zhao Ting waved his hand and said nothing.
Lan Xiang walked out briskly, and as soon as she reached the door, she pulled Chen An and whispered: "Eunuch Chen, you lost!"
Chen An was still a little confused: "What?"
Lan Xiang said: "The noodles and snacks I brought in just now were not what the master wanted to eat at all. They were for Sister Yuyao to eat. I just saw it with my own eyes when I was inside. The master even handed chopsticks to Sister Yuyao, saying It’s Sister Yuyao who’s so busy that she hasn’t had dinner yet, so I ordered it for her!”
Chen An's face fell: "Really?"
Lan Xiang said proudly: "Can this be false? I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears!"
That is indeed true.
Chen Anxin was chilled, Tang Yuyao, this little vixen! The partial master can’t see anyone but being seduced by her!
Also feeling sad was Yuqiu, who was waiting in the dark. Although her master had exempted her from serving him today, she felt uneasy and still came over. Sure enough, Yuyao is so powerful. As long as she is around, she will never be able to stand out.
But do you want to go to the King of Martial Arts?
King Wu's main concubine had a lot of concubines, as well as several legitimate sons and concubines. Even if she could climb up, let alone give birth to a son and a half, she would be eaten by those women as soon as she entered Prince Wu's palace. None left.
Damn Tang Yuyao!
She clearly said that she didn't dare to think like that, because she was afraid of death!
fear death?
It would be nice to be really dead!
Yuqiu looked at the door of the main room and cursed fiercely.

In Prince Wu's Mansion, Zhao Yu was leaning on his concubine Li, who was feeding him oranges one bite at a time.
While Mrs. Li was peeling oranges, he said, "Cousin, you go to the palace tomorrow to meet your mother and concubine!"
Li was confused: "Huh? Does my cousin want me to tell my aunt something?"
Li's single name is the word "meng". She is the niece of Concubine Li's natal family in the palace, and she has always been close to Concubine Li.
Zhao Yu said: "Let's find out why the mother-in-law is so unhappy with the seventh brother. If possible, please persuade her."
Mrs. Li was unwilling: "It's not just a day or two that my mother doesn't like King An. I haven't liked him for so many years. I can't persuade him. Besides, cousin, you are really confused. Isn't it better for my mother to favor you?" ? The mother-in-law has been favored for more than twenty years and has many good things in her hands. If she loves Prince An, can all her things still belong to you? "
Zhao Yu stood up abruptly, but because he bumped into Mr. Li too quickly, he didn't care. He just said angrily: "Short-sighted! Just go if I tell you to. I have my own reasons for doing this. Could it be that I will harm myself?"
Li's chin hurt from being hit, but seeing that Zhao Yu was angry, he didn't dare to say anything. He just nodded aggrievedly and said, "Yes, I will go tomorrow."
"Hmph!" Zhao Yu snorted coldly, stood up and walked out.
Although he is only twenty this year, he does have a concubine and two concubines, but now he has lost his appetite at Li's place, and he doesn't want to go to anyone else. Somehow he suddenly remembered the weak and helpless look of Tang Yuyao he saw today, so he walked to the study room and hired a maid in the study room that night.
The little maid looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was so delicate and weak that she could be knocked down by a gust of wind.
When Mrs. Li found out, she almost tore the veil with hatred.
