Tai Shuqi's eyebrows relaxed, which was very different from when he usually frowned. He was usually as cold as ice. At this time, it seemed that even the sun above his head was eclipsed in front of him.
Xie Wanyu looked at him without blinking.
"Others, for example, you are out of jealousy." Tai Shuqi's thin lips opened and closed.
Xie Wanyu reacted belatedly, "How could I be jealous of her? Although her father is the left prime minister, my father is not an insignificant official. Why should I be like this?"
Looking at Xie Wanyu's contemptuous smile, Tai Shuqi said, "She pleases me."
Xie Wanyu looked at Tai Shuqi with a puzzled look. When she saw the joke in his eyes, Xie Wanyu immediately blushed. She instantly understood what Tai Shuqi meant.
What he meant was that Xie Wanyu was jealous.
After a moment, Xie Wanyu said, "Your Majesty, please be careful in your words and deeds. Fame and honor are of no importance to you, but to the women in the inner courtyard, they are a matter of life and death."
After saying that, she got off the swing, stepped on the gravel path with Shu Jin's embroidered shoes, and walked to the backyard garden.
Unexpectedly, Tai Shuqi followed him unhurriedly.
"You want fame and honor, don't I, the king, don't? That day when you were so cold that you crawled into my arms, did you forget?" Tai Shuqi frowned and said.
Xie Wanyu's eyes widened and she quickly reached out her hand to block his mouth.
Her brows and eyes immediately showed her most ferocious expression, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I don't care what your identity is, I won't make it easy for you!"
Xu Shi has been in charge of the house for too long and has developed her ability to speak her mind. Now when she heard what he said, she was immediately shocked.
After a long while, Xie Wanyu took back her hand, then nodded and said, "I am rude."
"From the time I was born to this day, you are still the first person to threaten me." Tai Shuqi couldn't help but feel that Xie Wanyu, who behaved dignifiedly and well-behaved, had an unknown side.
That was a character she tried her best to hide, which made him want to explore more and more.
Xie Wanyu just saw Taishu Ai looking at her with great interest, and the alarm bells rang in her heart, "The prince is here to pick up Fen Lan, I'm going to call her right now."
After saying that, she walked to the front yard, but Tai Shuqi grabbed her wrist, "Don't worry, doesn't she go home only in the evening? I can also have lunch here."
Xie Wanyu fixed her eyes on her wrist and said coldly, "Your Majesty, please respect yourself." Her tone was cold and distant.
Tai Shuqi took back his hand and said, "Xie Wanyu, you really turned your back on me."
The two of them had experienced life and death that day, and they still hugged each other and fell asleep. Tai Shuqi wanted to know what Xie Wanyu was thinking, but to his surprise, she acted as if that incident had never happened at all.
"My lord, it was just an act of helplessness that day. You and I both know that. Now that I am a woman and you are the superior King of Qin, do you still want me to entangle you with this?" Xie Wanyu asked with raised eyebrows.
Taishu Ai couldn't help but chuckle, "If you are like that, how are you different from your promiscuous eldest sister-in-law Xue Xuening?" His voice sank slightly, "I am not that superficial."
"Then what do you mean by today?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Tai Shuyi was speechless for a moment.
What could he say? He just wanted to know what Xie Wanyu was really thinking. If she revealed any emotion, he would have no scruples and use all his power to help her leave the Hou Mansion.
However, Xie Wanyu was brought up too well.
The rules she had developed since childhood warned her not to have other thoughts, and even if she did have them, she should suppress them in her heart.
Xie Wanyu walked around Tai Shuqi, biting her lip and walked to the backyard porch.
Because she knew that if she stayed any longer, she might let go in the next second.
Here, you can hear the sounds of several girls in the house arranging flowers.
"Sister Fenlan, you did something wrong." Xie Fengya said with a smile.
Su Mengqin said proudly, "My nanny in the palace taught me that this red one should be placed here."
Fen Lan was the only one who remained silent. Although she was the hardest working one, she was also the clumsiest one.
Xie Wanyu sighed, turned around and saw a gravel path under the corridor. The small stones had not been fixed by the mud, and stood there one by one.
She walked over without thinking, but her feet were empty and she knelt directly on the stones.
The pain from her knees made her mind clearer.
I am afraid that no woman would not like a man like Tai Shuqi, and she was naturally not exempt from the vulgarity.
A breeze blew slowly, and a good smell swept over.
Xie Wanyu's eyes widened, and when she looked up, she saw Tai Shuqi walking in front of her at some point. "What are you doing?" he asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just accidentally fell." Xie Wanyu stood up in a hurry, but because she had just fallen so hard, her knees hurt sharply when she stood up.
Tai Shuqi hurriedly supported her, a little helpless, "She can still fall here." He looked at Xie Wanyu with a half-smile.
But at this moment, someone poked his head out of the window.
"What are you doing!" A voice yelled.
Xie Wanyu came to her senses and looked over quickly, only to see Su Mengqin glaring at them angrily.
Tai Shuqi didn't show any humility, and held Xie Wanyu's hand harder, "Miss Su, could it be that you are taking care of me?"
Although Su Mengqin was arrogant, she did not dare to confront Tai Shuqi head-on.
Her eyes flinched, "It has long been rumored that Mrs. Hou is unruly, but now it seems that it is true." After speaking, she sneered.
Xie Wanyu looked over coldly. Su Mengqin was startled by Xie Wanyu's eyes. She didn't dare to look at him anymore, but her eyes wandered into the distance.
"Miss Su wants to spread rumors about me and Prince Qin." Xie Wanyu's eyes darkened, "What's the best way to shut up people?"
"Of course it makes people shut up forever." Tai Shuqi answered appropriately.
Su Mengqin was startled. She was not very courageous, so she hurriedly closed the window.
By the time Xie Wanyu and Tai Shuqi arrived at the front yard, Su Mengqin had already left in his carriage, and his movements were so fast that a cloud of dust was raised.
At this time, Fenlan and Xie Fengya also came out.
"Your Majesty." The two of them saluted Tai Shuyi at the same time.
Tai Shuyi nodded, and then said, "I'm here to take you home."
Fen Lan immediately stepped forward with a smile on her face, as if she were meeting for the first time, with deep dimples on both sides of her cheeks, "I haven't finished studying yet, please brother, please wait."
She would call Taishuqi her eldest brother in private, but in front of everyone, she would still call her Prince Taishuqi. This was a sign of propriety, and everyone in Prince Qin's palace liked her.
Xie Wanyu said directly, "I have taught enough today, so you can go back earlier today."
Mainly because she couldn't face Tai Shuqi's gaze, which made her feel very stressed.
