Chapter 85, His heart beats for her
Chapter 85, His heart beats for her
Ye Qingtong, of noble status.
Even if the lantern owner didn't flatter her or curry favor with her, there would still be many people cheering and trying to please her.
"If this lantern belonged to me, I would offer it to Miss Ye with both hands."
"It's just a lantern, boss, please don't narrow the road."
"This is Miss Ye from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She is not only the Queen's biological sister, but also the current Emperor's cousin. Young lady, who are you and your husband? How dare you snatch Miss Ye's coveted item?!"
……
"A gentleman does not take away what others love. If you are willing to give it to Miss Ye, I will treat you to whatever you like!"
Amid the voices of those who stood up for justice, Ye Qingtong's face, which had turned green and red, gradually returned to normal.
She glanced at the faces that were trying to please her, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on her pretty, fair face.
This is right!
She is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. Whenever she goes out, who would not flatter her if they knew her identity?
The couple who competed with her for the lantern and the stubborn lantern owner are the outliers among the outliers.
Ye Qingtong raised his chin slightly, "As that gentleman said, a gentleman does not take away what others love. What do you want in exchange for giving up this Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon?"
"Miss Ye, do you have any misunderstandings?" Shen Qingtang corrected her seriously, "I am a little girl, not a gentleman, not to mention -"
Shen Qingtang paused slightly, and blinked innocently at Ye Qingtong's surprised look.
"A gentleman does not take away what others love. I think Miss Ye needs to know more about this. I think Miss Ye understands the principle of first come first served better than me, right?"
Hiss~ah!
Is this because you feel sorry for your sister-in-law?
Feeling a sudden pain in his wrist, Shen Qingtang subconsciously looked towards Emperor Yu Ji, only to see that he pursed his thin lips and looked out of the crowd with a pair of cold eyes.
Before she looked up, she heard a voice with a hint of laughter at the end coming from behind the crowd.
"What a first come first served, I guess my sister-in-law is the Miss Shen that my brother made an exception to take into the 'backyard', right?"
The person who came was a stranger to Shen Qingtang.
But Ye Qingtong, who was familiar with him, suddenly became a little stiff with joy on his face.
What does His Royal Highness Prince Jing mean?
Ye Qingtong looked at Shen Qingtang in a daze, then looked at His Royal Highness Prince Jing and her brother Ye Ziyuan with a dull expression.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, is there any misunderstanding?" There is no one else that Prince Jing can call his brother except his 'brother-in-law and cousin'.
but……
Under Ye Qingtong's doubtful gaze, Shen Qingtang also followed Emperor Yu Ji's line of sight and looked at him.
Just one glance and she was filled with emotion.
He is worthy of being a royal family whose bloodline has been optimized for many generations.
This elegant and handsome Prince Jing, dressed in cloud satin brocade, has a pair of fox eyes, which makes the blood-red mole under his eyes look extremely charming and romantic...
Isn't this the legendary evil prince? !
but--
Shen Qingtang is not a flower maniac.
Knowing very well that Emperor Yu Ji disliked Prince Jing, she only took a glance at him and then stood beside Emperor Yu Ji with caution.
She was afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Jing might do something bad to Emperor Yuji who was on a secret visit.
"Your Highness Prince Jing? I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person?" As long as Emperor Yuji didn't say anything, she was happy to play dumb.
Behind her, where she couldn't see, Emperor Yu Ji looked at Shen Qingtang who was protecting him behind him. A faint light flashed in his deep and cold phoenix eyes, but no one noticed it except himself.
His heart was so hot that it almost melted his ribs. The uncontrollable beating sensation was throbbing wildly in his chest.
His heart beat for her again.
My dear Shu, do you know how much I feel when I am protected by your frail body...
When Emperor Yu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, Shen Qingtang still protected him perfectly.
"If there is nothing else, we will go ahead." For the safety of Emperor Yu Ji, she can give up her beloved things.
When she gave Jiang Quan a look, she was ready to use her thin and frail body to protect Emperor Yu Ji from His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who was "unclear about who is the enemy".
However, just as she was staring at Prince Jing vigilantly, the small blood-red mole dotted under the corner of Prince Jing's eye almost blinded her eyes when it outlined his red lips.
"Isn't my sister-in-law's last name Shen?"
Although His Royal Highness Prince Jing was smiling, his pair of smiling fox eyes were staring at Emperor Yuji without blinking.
"Meeting is destiny. Tonight, on the 15th of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the family reunites, I wonder if Chengze will have a chance to invite brother and sister-in-law to have a drink together?"
Well, they just don’t think highly of us.
Shen Qingtang wanted to continue to "protect" Emperor Yu Ji, but she didn't want to be held in his arms directly.
What do you mean?
Don't install it anymore?
When she looked at Emperor Yuji, he pinched her waist calmly.
"How dare I disobey your Highness Prince Jing's request?"
……Forehead?!
Are you sure you don't dare?
Not only did Shen Qingtang's breathing stagnate, but even Prince Jing and others who knew his identity well also had their eyebrows twitching for a moment.
It turns out that the emperor of Daqian also has such a humorous and witty side?
With Prince Jing's invitation, the lantern shop owner, who was still waiting for the solution of the puzzle, had a disheveled expression on his face.
"There are three more puzzles. Don't want to guess anymore?" If he didn't continue guessing, how would he send away his Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon?
Eh?
deliver? !
While the lantern owner's eyes were shining, Shen Qingtang, under Ye Qingtong's angry but silent gaze, confidently reached out to the lantern owner to ask for the money.
"Whether you guess or not, the result is the same. You might as well just give the lantern to me."
Shen Qingtang leaned into Emperor Yu Ji's arms. She thought that she might have some guesses.
But...not sure yet.
Looking at Shen Qingtang's slender white hand, Emperor Yu Ji pursed his thin lips for a moment, and the lantern shop owner took the Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon from the shelf quickly as if throwing away a hot potato, and stuffed it into Shen Qingtang's hand without any hesitation.
"Please take it, young lady. If you like it, please come again next time." The lantern owner was really happy.
If he could have more good opportunities like today, his little piggy bank would become fatter and fatter.
Taking the Jade Rabbit Looking at the Moon from the lantern owner, Shen Qingtang happily held it up to his face to admire it carefully, under Ye Qingtong's envious and jealous gaze.
"Such exquisite craftsmanship is really pleasing to the eye."
Seeing how much she liked it, Emperor Yu Ji couldn't help but curl his thin lips.
"It's just a trivial little thing, and you like it so much?"
"If I didn't like it, how could I be attracted to it at first sight?" Shen Qingtang said, and smiled at Emperor Yuji, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, how could Tang'er get this lantern?"
Beneath her delicate and lively eyebrows, Emperor Yu Ji's deep and indifferent phoenix eyes could not help but be tinged with a hint of warmth.
Perhaps, the person in front of him was much smarter than he thought.
Maybe, she guessed it.
Thank you for the reward from Yu Qiqi baby, love you biubiu
