Under the screen wall, the two of them were stunned.
Sun Cheng, who was following behind, Zhiqu quietly exited the courtyard and stood guard at a distance from the courtyard gate.
At this time, Tang Queqing was wearing a linen apron with mud on his waist, and he was holding a small shovel in his hand.
There was some sweat on his face, and his eyes were sparkling and bright under the night lights. A few drops of sweat gathered on the tip of his nose, and he trembled with the intensity of his breathing when he suddenly bumped into Zhu Yunxi who walked in.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the flower garden behind the screen wall. Under a few unknown flowers, the soil was loose and well-kept.
Just...
Taking care of flowers and plants at night?
Zhu Yunxi looked curiously at Tang Queqing who appeared in the house arranged for him by the Tang family.
There was some nervousness on her face, but also some curiosity.
I thought that I used a question sentence before, but the other party used an affirmative sentence.
Obviously, this girl also knew about the old man’s arrangement early on.
"You know the marriage that the old man has decided."
"You don't know the marriage arranged by His Majesty?"
Once again, almost exactly, Zhu Yunxi and Tang Queqing spoke at the same time.
Immediately, Tang Queqing's face turned red and her eyes were filled with shyness.
She bit her lips lightly, frowned, looked at Zhu Yunxi with wide eyes, and then couldn't help but tilt her head.
Hearing that there was no movement behind him, Tang Queqing quietly opened his mouth to breathe out, and carefully reached out and patted his chest.
She felt that she had never been so nervous, not even when she was facing the generals and disciples in Fengyang City, the central capital, practicing their killing skills on the school grounds, and riding horses to attack her group of girls.
So nervous.
Zhu Yunxi felt that this matter suddenly became a little interesting.
Without the freedom of marriage, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing to bump into such a cute little girl.
He pretended to be surprised, and while walking towards the lit pavilion not far away, he said: "Why is Miss Tang at my residence so late at night?"
"This is my yard!"
Tang Queqing angrily untied the linen apron around his waist, threw the small shovel in his hand into a basket nearby, and followed Zhu Yunxi in a declaration.
Zhu Yunxi, who had just sat down to pour a cup of tea, was suddenly stunned with his raised hand.
He retracted his hand and looked up at Tang Queqing, who followed him in and stood in front of him.
"The house in the Duke of Xinguo's mansion is not enough to live in?"
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but think of Tang and the countless beautiful ladies, but felt that this was not the reason why the Tang family could not arrange a separate residence for him.
However, Tang Queqing stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yunxi, and then poured another cup for himself. He was probably tired from the previous work, so he raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.
"Your Majesty and Grandpa told me that people in my family who are of the same age as the emperor's grandson should communicate more with the emperor's grandson while he is staying in Fengyang."
"Communicate more..." Zhu Yunxi was surprised for a moment.
He looked outside the pavilion at the annex building belonging to Tang Queqing, and then looked at the girl from the Tang family standing in front of him.
But I was already muttering in my heart.
The old man and Mr. Tang are really not afraid that they will be alone, so they will do something that violates human ethics and etiquette?
Tang Queqing's gaze always stayed on Zhu Yunxi's face.
Seeing his reaction at this time, I couldn't help but roll my eyes: "This building is a twin building. I usually live in the west wing, and the east wing is vacant. Now it is where His Highness lives."
When Zhu Yunxi was still lamenting the uniqueness of the Tang family's construction.
Tang Queqing added: "We have always heard in Zhongdu that His Highness is pure, filial and benevolent, upright and behaves like a gentleman. He will probably not do anything that violates etiquette and morality."
Is she saying that I am a gentleman?
Zhu Yunxi looked at Tang Queqing with a smile on his face. At present, he could not connect the girl in front of him with the heroine he met on the river beach outside the city during the day.
"Miss Tang is so majestic when she trains other girls today. What can I not dare to do?"
When Tang Queqing saw Zhu Yunxi mentioning this matter, he lost some of the reserve and shyness of girls, and said: "Your Majesty has decided on the marriage, but before marrying His Highness, Your Highness, please respect yourself."
If it hadn't been for her grandfather's kind words and His Majesty's wish, the marriage would have been settled now and would only be waiting for the ceremony. Even in this courtyard, she would not have let Zhu Yunxi in.
Do you really think that you are no longer a daughter-in-law?
Grandpa is so fascinated by those women now that he doesn’t care about anything!
Zhu Yunxi also came to his senses at this time. Seeing that Tang Queqing was still standing in front of him, he stretched out his hand to motion for Tang Queqing to sit down.
He opened his mouth and said: "Then the officials from the Ministry of Rites, Qin Tianjian, Taichang Temple, and Guanglu Temple who came with me to Zhongdu this time are all for our...our marriage?"
When he said this, Zhu Yunxi always had a strange feeling.
It is a bit outrageous to talk about the marriage between the two of them to a girl who has not yet been officially engaged to him.
Tang Queqing nodded, but felt that it was a bit outrageous. He turned his head silently and looked at a group of fireflies that suddenly flew over from the bushes outside.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little unpredictable.
Just when Zhu Yunxi was thinking about how to start or end the conversation.
Tang Queqing, however, mustered up his courage and slapped his hands heavily on the table.
Zhu Yunxi was stunned by this sudden attack.
Tang Queqing, who had plucked up the courage, looked at the man who was very close at hand and would need to accompany him for the rest of his life.
With a peach blossom face on her face, Tang Queqing said solemnly: "I heard before that you have changed a lot now, and you are a good person. I can't refuse this marriage, but before we get engaged, I have to explain something to you."
Zhu Yunxi suddenly relaxed.
If you can't refuse, just accept it.
He nodded, smiling and looking at the little girl in front of him who was brave and brave outside, but docile and courteous after returning home.
Tang Queqing's eyes flashed: "First, even if I marry you in the future, you can't stop me from studying the art of war."
After finishing speaking, she stared at Zhu Yunxi attentively, waiting for his answer.
Zhu Yunxi hummed and nodded.
Tang Queqing's face was filled with joy, and he immediately calmed down and continued: "Secondly, you will definitely have many...many concubines in the future, but you will never allow...the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties!"
Zhu Yunxi immediately laughed and nodded in agreement.
Tang Queqing added: "Third, if we get married in the future, we will become husband and wife. I have no control over your affairs in the court or outside, but if you have something on your mind, you have to tell me."
After finishing speaking, Tang Queqing looked at Zhu Yunxi and added: "I will also tell you..."
It seems that a marriage without big storms and turbulent experiences is also very good?
The smile on Zhu Yunxi's face became stronger and stronger, and his eyes were fixed on Tang Queqing's eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
"I promise you."
Tang Queqing, who had been waiting for an answer, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Under Zhu Yunxi's gaze, she stood up gracefully.
The body of Fu is doing the ceremony, which is outstanding and graceful, but his eyes are staring at Zhu Yunxi affectionately.
"I remember what Your Highness said."
"It's getting late, and the temperature here is getting cooler. Your Highness, it's better to take a rest early."
Suddenly, Tang Queqing's image changed again. After he finished speaking and stood up, his shy and crimson face seemed to be dripping with water.
Under Zhu Yunxi's increasingly eager gaze, he left lightly and gracefully with a touch of gentleness and reserve.
Looking at Tang Queqing's leaving figure, Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and sighed silently.
