Chapter 22: I'm so annoyed!

  "Your Highness, Qingyu's temper is just a bit impatient, you'd better go take a look. It wouldn't be good for Vice General Li to chase after him either, after all, Qingyu is your fiancé now." Minister Liu smiled as he looked at Ziyueye, and his gaze made Ziyueye's plan to sit for a while and then leave fall apart, so she could only smile and respond with a "yes", asking someone about the direction Qingyu had gone in before slowly walking over.

  Let's slow down a bit... If she were to bump into some romantic scene, it would be hard to explain. Ziyue Ye was heading in the opposite direction of Liu Qingyou, walking aimlessly on the winding bridge over flowing water. On the way, she encountered many servants, who inevitably knelt and bowed, prompting Ziyue Ye to furrow her brow, flip her body, and leap onto the rooftop, where the scenery of the Prime Minister's estate was laid out before her eyes.

  Lying lazily on the rooftop, his gaze was fixed on Liu Qingyu and Li Yu standing under the willow tree that had just been pruned. They were indeed a loving couple, similar in age and with little difference between them. Xiang Wang had intentions, and the goddess seemed to have feelings too...

  Liu Qingyou was choked by the aura of Zi Ruo's leaves and directly walked towards his own house. He really shouldn't have come out, if he hadn't wanted to see someone he had been thinking about for a long time, he wouldn't have come out, but that scoundrel had messed everything up...

  "Master Liu!" Li Yu's voice was heard from afar. Master Liu Qingyou's footsteps paused and he stopped in his tracks.

  How is this possible? How did she manage to catch up?!

  His heart was both shocked and delighted, how should he face her now? Just now he had already lost his composure, who knows what Li Yu's thoughts about him would be... At this moment, he didn't want to see her, yet still turned around with a faint smile, "Deputy General Li, what business do you have with me?"

  "You don't have to take what the prince says to heart." Li Yu walked forward, looking at him gently and said softly. Only after walking in did she realize that he was such a handsome man, it's a pity that he's paired with Zi Ruoye.

  "Being infatuated is just a feeling of discontent in one's heart." Although he was very angry at Zi Ruoye's words, whenever he thought about it at midnight, he would always think of Yun Cong and worry that he had spoiled Yun Cong too much. Even Liu Qingyou didn't know why she couldn't admit that maybe she loved Yun Cong, and every time she thought about this, her heart felt suffocated!

  He just can't stand seeing her doing well! Every time he sees her, she's always talking about Yun Cong, and it makes him feel uncomfortable in his heart!

  "She can't even withstand a light punch from me, she must be a weak person. So don't take it to heart." Li Yu comforted.

  Zi Ruoye lay on the rooftop, smiling complacently. Ah, yes, she was indeed very weak. So, Li Yu, hurry up and take Liu Qingyou away, how could she possibly protect Liu Qingyou well? Because she was just "that kind of person"......

  "Although I, Qing Yu, don't like that person very much, after all, she is going to be my future wife. Please, Vice General Li, don't speak of her in such a manner." Liu Qing Yu said calmly, recently he didn't know what was wrong with him, no matter how he annoyed or disliked her, it wasn't anyone else's business, but hearing others say such things made his heart feel uncomfortable again.

  "But... didn't you, Liu Gongzi... like me?" Li Yu looked at Liu Qingyao, and since seeing him today, the story she had heard from the storyteller kept echoing in her mind. Just now, when they were talking, she also noticed that Liu Qingyao had secretly glanced at her several times, and she was certain that there was some truth to the story.

  "What's wrong?" Liu Qingyou looked at Li Yu and asked, he really didn't like people who stopped talking halfway through, after looking for a while, suddenly realized that a man staring at a woman like this wasn't good, and quickly shifted his gaze away.

  "It's nothing." Li Yu felt that it was still necessary to confirm again before speaking, besides... the person in front of her was already engaged, and it was an imperial marriage.

  "I heard you got married at the age of 13, which was also the day I got married. However, I will still send my gift." He casually mentioned the age of 13, but saw that Liu Qingyu's face suddenly turned pale, and his heart was filled with doubts, wondering if he really didn't want to marry Zi Ruoye?

  "This matter Qingyu has always known, no need... Vice General Li to remind. Qingyu's body is a bit uncomfortable, so I'll take my leave first." Said politely, then hurriedly walked towards her own small courtyard.

  Zi Ruoye was even more shocked after hearing this brief conversation, how could it be like this! Liu Qingyou's reaction completely exceeded her expectations. She had thought that with Liu Qingyou's temperament, she would first respond to Li Yu and express her own intentions, then they could discuss how to get rid of this arranged marriage. But the script wasn't going as expected?

  Zi Ruoye furrowed her brow, reluctantly flipping over the roof, she still went to ask Liu Qingyou what was going on...

  Liu Qingyou walked while regretting what he had just said. He clearly didn't mean to say those things, so why did the words change as soon as they left his mouth? Now that he finally saw Li Yu, why did he end up saying those things?!

  It must be Zi Ruoye who made him like this! It's all her fault! If it weren't for her, how could he say such things without thinking clearly?!

  Zi Ruoye had originally wanted to use her lightness skill to directly reach Liu Qingyu's courtyard, but she thought better of it and decided to walk instead. After walking for a short distance, she saw Li Yu with a gloomy expression walking towards her.

  "Have you seen You'er?" Zǐ Ruò Yè walked up with a smile, saying in an impatient tone, "This Chancellor must have me come over to take a look. This young master is throwing a tantrum and I'm the one who has to come and coax him! Honestly!"

  "Prince Wang is not yet married to Master Liu, so it's better not to be too familiar with him, or it will tarnish his reputation." Li Yu didn't respond, but instead said coldly, "I'll take my leave first and go bid farewell to Minister Liu."

  Qingyu is indeed the one that Zi Yanran has betrothed to her, by rights they should already be legitimate now. A woman like you openly walking into a man's courtyard, didn't you think about whether it would tarnish his reputation? After Li Yu finished speaking she left, not even giving her the chance to continue nodding and bowing, Zi Ruoye directly walked towards Qingyu's courtyard.

  The servant girl in the small courtyard saw Liu Qingyou hastily leave the house, and now she was back in less than a moment, looking at the house with suspicion.

  Second Master, weren't you going to see the king? How did you come back so quickly?

  Just as I was about to knock on the door and ask Liu Qing if she needed tea or refreshments, I saw Zi Ruoye stumbling over with a drunken expression. I was startled and said, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

  "Where is Yu'er?" Although he was drunk, his tone was very gentle. In Zi Ruoye's eyes, the servant standing in front of her was only eleven or twelve years old, still a child, and had shed his usual demeanor, revealing a hint of his true self.

  "The second young master has just entered the house." The maid replied with her head lowered, and when the king had called the second young master just now, he was indeed gentle. Although she also didn't like the king in her heart, after all, his reputation was really bad...

  "I can go in myself."

  Seeing Ziyueye walking in on her own, the maid thought of saying that men's bedrooms were off-limits to women, but then she changed her mind. After all, Wangye and Second Master had already been betrothed, and everyone outside considered them a couple... so it shouldn't be a problem. She continued sweeping the floor with her broom.

  Zi Ruoye walked to the door of Liu Qingyou, but heard that Liu Qingyou was muttering to himself in the room. It turned out to be some "I hate you!" and "It's all your fault!", going back and forth between these two sentences. She thought that the person being scolded was probably herself, but she didn't know what she had done wrong this time...

  Knocked on the door, but heard a flustered voice inside, "Who!"

  "Cough, it's me... Zi..." Before she could finish speaking, she was startled by Liu Qingyou suddenly opening the door. She saw that his cheeks were slightly flushed, probably from anger, and he was staring at her with a pair of watery eyes.

  "What are you doing here!" Can't he just leave him alone! Why does this guy always have to appear out of nowhere! Just a moment ago, his mind was still reeling from the thought of her letting him sit on her lap, and now it's overlapping with that time when he accidentally fell onto her, making him really annoyed!

  "Ah. I just wanted to ask, what did you just say to Li Yu? Why does her face look so strange?" Zi Ruoye asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear as she stood at the door.

  "Mind your own business about what I said to her!" Liu Qingyou was dazed by Zi Ruoye's question and subconsciously refuted what she had just said.

  "But it's different from what I thought."

  "So what do you want to do!" She thought she was far away at that time, with her martial arts skills, she must not have heard what he said. In her heart, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If she had heard him show even the slightest intention of protecting her, she would definitely be laughed at by this person.

  "This king thought... " couldn't say that he had heard everything, paused for a moment, and Zi Ruoye said lightly, "Liu Qingyou, you actually like her. Why did I just see her expression, but it seemed like you two were arguing?"

  His heartbeat slowed down, if it wasn't for Zi Ruoye standing in front of him, he would have lost his composure. Every time they met, she was always so lifeless, but suddenly hearing her speak to him in such a soft voice made him feel uneasy. "Mind your own business! I'll say what I want, and now I don't want to see you! Don't you know it's impolite for a woman to enter a man's courtyard uninvited?" He said, then slammed the door shut, completely cutting off Zi Ruoye.

  Zi Ruoye looked at the door that was suddenly closed, opened her mouth, and finally had to swallow her words back into her stomach. Why couldn't Liu Qingyao have a good conversation with her? Probably because he was hugged by her in front of Li Yu today, so he's angry now.
