"Ziyu, I'll have to trouble you then."
Because of her master's health, Song Jinyu specially asked the Lin family to help search for some rare medicinal materials in the South Sea.
Song Jinyu and Lin Ziyu walked hand in hand on the street. Lin Ziyu said cheerfully, "It's just a small thing. Don't be so polite!"
As the sky was getting dark, they decided to send Lin Ziyu home first. Lin Ziyu didn't decline. After getting along with Song Jinyu for a long time, she found that Song Jinyu didn't distinguish between high and low. She never used her status as the young lady of the prefect's mansion to overwhelm others.
Instead, she took good care of Lin Ziyu everywhere.
No wonder her elder brother liked her, and so did Prince Yu. Lin Ziyu felt really regretful. How nice it would be if Song Jinyu became her sister - in - law. It was a pity that her elder brother couldn't compete with Prince Yu.
Suddenly, they were blocked by a simple yet luxurious carriage. Qing Feng jumped off the carriage and said, "Young lady, His Highness the Prince has something to see you."
The two girls looked at each other. Song Jinyu said, "Let this young lady send Miss Lin home first, and then I'll go to the Prince's Mansion to bother His Highness." After saying that, she bowed with Lin Ziyu and was about to leave.
Qing Feng stood still, still blocking their way. "This subordinate will send Miss Lin home for you..."
Song Jinyu had no choice but to glare angrily at the carriage. This man was really too overbearing!
She had to say to Lin Ziyu, "You go back first... I'll come to find you tomorrow." The young girl made a face at her and then left.
Song Jinyu walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain. "What's the matter?"
The person in the carriage stared at her expressionlessly and coldly, insisting on not saying a word. Song Jinyu sighed and then got into the carriage and sat beside him.
"You stay at home every day. When you go out occasionally, you either go to the pharmacy or go to find Lin Ziyu." Zhongli Mingye finally couldn't help complaining.
Song Jinyu tilted her head and looked at him. "Didn't we just meet yesterday?" Was he being petty just because she went to play with Lin Ziyu?
"Does this Prince not go to find you, and you don't know to find this Prince?"
Song Jinyu didn't understand. Didn't he have official business? "I have nothing to do. What should I find you for?" Why was he so persistent with her?
Hearing her words, Zhongli Mingye got even angrier! "Song Jinyu!"
What on earth was wrong with him? Was he drunk? She reached out and touched Zhongli Mingye's forehead. "Well, there's no fever!"
This sentence seemed to irritate Zhongli Mingye. He was so angry that he reached out and pulled Song Jinyu into his arms. He held her tightly and wouldn't let her move.
He said hoarsely, "This Prince misses you every day, you heartless girl." The ambiguous words made Song Jinyu blush. She struggled to get out of his arms. Unfortunately, the man's strength was too great, and she couldn't poison him.
She sighed, "What about this young lady's reputation?"
"If this Prince goes to your mansion every day and is seen by others, it will surely damage this Prince's reputation."
Moreover, there was still that "concubine" in Liuzhou. Song Jinyu felt very uncomfortable. Although she knew Zhongli Mingye's grievances, she still couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
So that was it.
Zhongli Mingye hugged her and couldn't help kissing her hair, smelling the nice osmanthus fragrance. His eyes gradually darkened. Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply. He traced her delicate red lips with his tongue carefully. Since they came back from the capital, they hadn't been so intimate for many days.
Being kissed in a daze, she didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that others would find out the amorous atmosphere in the carriage.
She had no choice but to let him do as he pleased. Well, in the little bit of clear - mindedness she still had, she deeply understood that she missed him very much too.
After a long time, Zhongli Mingye finally let her go. He looked at her blushing little face contentedly, which was like a juicy peach.
Song Jinyu's hand was clasped in his arms. The two of them were very close. His warm body trembled slightly because of his passion.
Her wet and clear eyes made Zhongli Mingye even more infatuated.
"Accompany this Prince for dinner tonight."
"No... My father..." Song Jinyu trembled and tried to push him away. Who knew that Zhongli Mingye glared at her fiercely. "Even your father can't refuse this Prince!"
So, later that day, Song Jinyu had dinner in Prince Yu's Mansion. She was indignant in her heart. Didn't he just want to have a meal with her? Why couldn't he just talk properly and had to do such a thing. After dinner, Zhongli Mingye sent her back. On the way, he couldn't help teasing her.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, Zhongli Mingye received a report from Qing Feng. It turned out that the carriage of Princess Suoli of the Gu tribe had arrived outside the city of Liuzhou and was just waiting to enter the city after the city gate opened the next day.
This time, the great prince Nai An and the third prince Xicheng of the Gu tribe also accompanied Princess Suoli into the city.
They should have entered the city before the city gate closed today, but unfortunately, it was already late, so Song Chuyu decided to close the city gate.
"It doesn't matter... Every country has its laws, and every city has its regulations."
No matter how much Zhongli Mingye attached importance to the carriage of the Gu princess, he couldn't ignore the regulations.
"Your Highness, if someone with ill intentions says that General Song is unreasonable..." Qing Feng's worry was not unfounded. "Tell them that it was arranged by this Prince."
Qing Feng: "..." Was this considered loving the one and thus loving everything related to her?
After Song Jinyu returned to the mansion, the lights in her courtyard were quietly lit. She sat silently on the soft couch under the crabapple tree. The summer heat had dissipated, and it was a bit cool at night. Afraid that she would catch a cold, Niaoniao brought a quilt for her to cover.
He said, "This Prince misses you every day..."
Thinking of his words, Song Jinyu's cheeks burned. The more she indulged in it, the more she couldn't bear to see other women around him. But today, she was kissed in a daze, and she even forgot what she wanted to say.
Alas... She buried her head in the quilt. Didn't she miss him every day too?
Late at night, several figures appeared in the mansion of Prefect Song.
Before long, they were captured by Cheng Song!
However, before the interrogation was completed, those people committed suicide early. Song Jinyu was really annoyed and just threw the bodies to Song Chuyu.
At the same time, the news also reached Prince Yu's Mansion. They were afraid that something unexpected would happen during the period when the Gu princess was staying in Liuzhou City.
Zhongli Mingye arranged for Song Chuyu to send many people to guard Princess Suoli and the two princes who accompanied her.
The accident that happened in the mansion of Prefect Song also caught his attention. So, the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion naturally entered the prefect's mansion. They claimed it was "to protect the prefect..." From then on, as long as Song Jinyu left home, the news would reach Prince Yu's Mansion immediately. This really made her extremely angry!
If it weren't for considering Zhongli Mingye's face, Song Jinyu would have run to Prince Yu's Mansion to scold him several times.
