Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 9
He seemed to see my hesitation, smiled at the corner of his lips, and drank the whole bowl of tea.

"That's all I'm going to say here, and I ask the girl to decide for herself." After speaking, she stood up and turned around to leave, but turned around and said: "I just ask the girl to understand that this is the truth that is outdated."

Xu Shi squeezed the cup a little too hard, and the water in the cup swirled out and spilled on the tiger's mouth.Wet and a little uncomfortable.Taking a deep breath, he threw the copper plate on the table and got up to leave.

Going straight to Liuli Lake all the way, I felt a little apprehensive.I was amazed by my boldness, but at the same time, I began to have hope for the unclear future.It's like knowing that it is a poppy, beautiful but poisonous, but I still can't help myself to get close to it.

Could it be him that the man the gentleman mentioned?
If it's really him, should I or shouldn't I?
My aunt said that people should know their duties and should not ask for things that do not belong to them.If you know that your status is not worthy but still force it, you will only end up in a miserable end.

But I still have a life to live.

Holding the skirt slightly in his hand, he kept on stepping, his eyes eagerly looking ahead.Occasionally there is a breeze blowing, and Liuhai sways, just like my heart is beating non-stop.

Panting, I ran to Liuli Lake, and immediately looked around.

There are countless boats and boats on the lake, and the talented and beautiful women are pleasing to the eye, but I don't see the person I think in my heart.

I tried my best to keep my eyes wide open, not wanting to miss any corner, but I looked at the scenery, but there was still no one that belonged to me.

Could it be that Mr. lied to me?

I looked around several times, but there was still no one I thought of.

Suddenly remembering the half-embroidered wedding dress in the room, my heart panicked, and I felt a sudden sour feeling.This feeling gripped my whole heart, like fear and regret.

The nose was sour, and the eye sockets became hot, and suddenly big tears fell down.Slowly squat down on the ground, wrapping your hands around your body.

"Miss Qing'er, why are you here?" Qingyue's voice sounded beside her, and a shadow was cast on the bluestone board.

I raised my head slightly, and the sunlight was so strong that I had to stretch out my right hand to block the light.

The figure knelt down and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the girl?"

I put down my hand and grinned: "It's okay." The voice was hoarse.

When he saw my face covered with tears, he panicked all of a sudden.

"Qing'er, why are you crying? But who bullied you? Tell me and I'll avenge you!" While speaking, she wanted to wipe my tears with her sleeve, but she was afraid of being abrupt, so she either advanced or retreated for a while.

Seeing him at a loss, I just find it funny.In this way, the sadness in my heart seems to have eased a lot.

He raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears, and looked at him with his eyes open.

"Yang Shaoxia, why are you here?"

Seeing that I stopped crying, Yang Ziyu was relieved.Pointing to a painting boat on the Liuli Lake, he said: "I have an appointment with someone, do you want Qing'er to go with me?"

Automatically ignoring his change from "Miss Qing'er" to "Qing'er", I frowned, "I'm not going, I still have something to do."

Standing up with his hands on the ground, he patted the dust on his skirt. "Young man, play around, I'll take a step first."

"Ah!" he called out.

I turned around, "What's wrong?"

Yang Ziyu stood up with a smile, and looked at me with piercing eyes, "The girl hasn't answered what I told the girl last time."

"What's the matter?" I wondered.

He froze for a moment, and his smile widened.

"Last time I said that I fell in love with the girl, but the girl hasn't given me an answer yet."

"Well," I looked up at the sky and fanned my sleeves. "It's really hot, I think I may have some heatstroke. Then I'll go home first."

When she turned her head, she bumped into a pair of deep blue eyes.There are turmoil in the peach blossom eyes, standing under the willow tree and smiling, the beauty is infinite in an instant.

"Qing'er?" He opened his lips and spit out these two words in a pleasant voice.

It seems that a flower has bloomed in my heart.

He trotted forward in a hurry, and called out flatteringly: "Master Shi Zi."

Cheng Yu nodded lightly, but kept his eyes on Yang Ziyu.Yang Ziyu also raised his head and looked at Cheng Yu carefully.

"Xiao Qing'er, who is he?" Yue Shao pointed at Yang Ziyu with the end of his folding fan, and asked me with his head tilted. "Could it be that you have a lover?"

I smiled awkwardly: "Stop joking, Yue, we are just ordinary friends." Then I changed the subject, "Why don't you see the second son?" The three of them have always acted together.

Yue Shao retracted the fingering fan, and tapped his chin lightly instead. "He has something to do at home."

"Qing'er, who are these two?" Yang Ziyu followed me at some point and stood shoulder to shoulder with me.

Cheng Yu smiled elegantly, and his movements were full of grace and luxury.

"I'm Cheng Yu."

Yue Shao also put away his fan, "I will become a Yue."

"The surname is Cheng, so it must be from the royal family." Yang Ziyu smiled and cupped his hands, "I am Yang Ziyu, a member of the Li Xiao sect." His words were neither humble nor overbearing.

Cheng Yu accepted the gift with a smile, and then gave me an indifferent look.

I understood immediately and ran behind him in a hurry.After standing still, I found that Yang Ziyu was looking at the place where I was standing just now with a little melancholy.

A chill hits the back of my head.

Cheng Yu cupped his hands, "I still have something to do, so just go ahead."

Yang Ziyu nodded and said: "Brother Cheng Yu, please do as you please, but I still have some things to discuss with Qing'er, I hope Brother Cheng Yu can make it easier for me."

Cheng Yu remained calm.Just look sideways at me.

I smiled dryly at Yang Ziyu: "Yang Shaoxia, my family's eldest son has something to do, so I naturally have to attend to it. If there is anything to do, let's talk about it another day."

Yang Ziyu was disappointed when he heard the words, but Cheng Yu said, "Since Mr. Yang has something to ask for you, you can stay here and listen to what he has to say, and you don't have to follow me."

My heart suddenly stagnated, I was still waiting for him to say that, why did he leave me and leave?
"Thank you brother Cheng Yu." Yang Ziyu thanked.

"Master" I called out, but he didn't seem to hear it, he just turned around and left.Yue Shao waved his fan and looked at me and Yang Ziyu with a funny look, and then followed.

The two of them walked to the lake, and a boat came to pick them up.But I don't know what happened, but the two of them didn't get on the boat, but just stood on the shore, as if they were discussing something or waiting for something.

"Qinger"

Yang Ziyu walked in front of me, covering Cheng Yu's direction.

I looked at him displeased, "What's the matter, young man?"

He scratched his head, and suddenly said: "Qing'er, I'm not young anymore, my mother has written several times to ask me to go back to my hometown to get married, but I have always refused."

"What does it have to do with me if you don't want to get married?" I questioned, feeling restless.

"The reason why I didn't want it was because I didn't have anyone I liked. But now that I've met you, I hope you can go back to my hometown with me."

Then, as if he mustered up his courage, he said loudly: "Qing'er, I want to marry you."

There was thunder in my mind, and for a moment I could only stare at him blankly, unable to say a word.

After a long while, there was the sound of mosquitoes moaning, "You, you and I don't know each other's family background, temperament and hobbies, how can we make lifelong decisions so easily?"

He said: "My father and mother got married after only three days of acquaintance. I like you. Time and family background are not a problem. If you have any doubts, I would like to be honest with you." His eyes are very bright, "Under Xia Yang Ziyu, who lives in Mocheng. His parents are still alive, and his younger sister has not yet left the court. The family already makes a living in business and has some savings. I am a teacher of Li Xiao's head, and I like sword dancing..."

He looked very serious, as if he was doing something great.

"As for you, Qing'er," he blushed again when he said this, "I know you have no father or mother, and you were adopted by Prince Yi's mansion since you were a child, and you are a maid in Prince Yi's mansion."

"Is that enough?" I struggled to utter a word, shocked in my heart.

He nodded and said firmly: "Enough."

I couldn't speak, I could only stare blankly at him.

Seeing that I didn't express my opinion, Yang Ziyu also became anxious.

"Qing'er, will you agree to marry me?" Immediately, he raised his right hand to make an oath gesture, "I, Yang Ziyu, swear to the sky that I will never leave you forever."

Never give up.

I began to be confused, why did he dare to say that he would never leave?We have only met three times, why would he dare to make an oath at will?

Yang Ziyu probably sensed my doubts, and quickly took out a silver bracelet from her sleeve.Small peach blossoms are carved on it, delicate and beautiful.

"My grandma gave it to my mother, and my mother asked me to give it to her future daughter-in-law. I've met so many people, but I just want to give it to you." His expression was damn serious again.

Did you lie to me about what you said?

I tried to observe him carefully, hoping to see a trace of falsehood in his expression, but all I could find was honesty.

"it is good."

I heard a voice, it didn't seem to be me, but it was so like me.

I was surprised to see the ecstasy on Yang Ziyu's face, and I watched him put the bracelet on my hand in surprise.Even more surprised to see him holding my hand.

I just felt that my whole body was stiff and my whole brain stopped turning.

How could I promise him?How can I do such a thing?

how do I…

how come?
"Qing'er, since you have promised me, I will go to the palace to propose marriage to Prince Yi tomorrow!" Yang Ziyu said happily.

His palm was big and warm, and trembling, as if he got something he dreamed of.

I nodded blankly and responded with a "good" word.

Standing on tiptoe slightly, she looked over his shoulder.

Cheng Yu and Yue Shao just boarded the boat, with their backs to me.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, I think his back is so depressed.Yue Shao looked sideways at Cheng Yu, thoughtful.

I turned my gaze back to Yang Ziyu's face, his smile made people feel warm.

"Don't you have something else to do?" He said just now about making an appointment with someone, "Then I'll go home first."

He thought I was being shy, so he nodded. "Don't worry, I will propose marriage tomorrow!"

I nodded casually, then turned around and walked away slowly under his gaze.That little boy, did he just walk into my life?

I wandered all the way back to the palace, and when I saw the back door, I remembered that there was a clean and shy boy queuing up for me under the scorching sun, and I just left him there.

Feeling guilty, I hurriedly wanted to find him back.But before he could move, he heard Aunt Zhao's scolding voice.

"Tell me, what did you do?! Such a big man disappears as soon as he says he won't see him. How can I safely marry someone like you?!" The aunt walked out quickly as she spoke, her face full of anxiety.

Then came out the flushed Li family boy, his forehead was covered with sweat.I didn't dare to breathe when I followed my aunt, it looked like I was about to cry.

I couldn't bear to see him being scolded again, so I quickly called out, "Auntie."

Aunt Zhao stopped her steps when she heard the words, and she relaxed when she saw it was me.Just don't talk.

On the contrary, the boy from the Li family ran to me in three steps at a time, "Where did you go, girl? You scared me to death!" He complained a bit.

I smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I just walked away because I had something to do, and I forgot to tell you."

Seeing me subdued, he also eased his tone. "It's fine as long as the girl is fine." Then he stuffed the things in my arms into my arms, "It's still hot, girl, hurry up and eat."

The sweet smell came out, and the pastry in his hand was soft and warm.

Thinking of the marriage he had just agreed to Yang Ziyu, the delicious food in his hand suddenly turned into a hot potato, neither picking it up nor throwing it away.

Aunt Zhao came over and looked at me with a frown: "You are so ignorant at such an age, do you know how scared this child is?"

The Li family boy hurriedly waved his hands: "I'm fine, I'm fine, auntie, don't blame Miss Qing'er."

"We're getting married soon, why are you still calling me so unfamiliar?" My aunt was displeased, and then she turned to me, "The day is coming, are you ready for those things?"

"Auntie." I called softly.

"Don't try to change the subject, if you haven't done it, go back to my room and embroider the wedding dress immediately!" Auntie raised her eyebrows.

I hesitated for a while, and finally made up my mind. I looked at my aunt firmly and said, "Auntie, I'm not getting married anymore."

Kneeling in front of the study, waiting for the prince to come back.

Aunt Zhao was mad at what I said in the afternoon, and the Li family boy was so angry that he cried.

So I kneel here now.

The sky has already darkened, and the hot air during the day is slightly cooler at night, which is considered comfortable.It's just that I have been kneeling for a long time, and my knees are sore and numb.And I'm hungry too.

A burst of voices came from far and near, and gradually, the serious face of the prince appeared in sight.Aunt Zhao frowned, kept talking to the prince, and looked at me from time to time.

Put your hands on your knees and rub gently in slow motion.

The prince stood still in front of me, stared at me for a while, then said: "Come in with me." After speaking, he turned and went into the study.

I stood up slowly, a little unsteady. My aunt reflexively wanted to reach out to help me, but when she stretched halfway, she suddenly remembered the reason why I was punished to kneel, and withdrew her hand angrily.

I smiled at her, and followed the prince into the study with bumpy steps.

He walked behind the desk and didn't sit down, just looked at me lightly.A pair of cold eyes very much like Cheng Yu.

"I heard that you want to marry a young hero?"

I nodded.

"Yes. His name is Yang Ziyu, and he lives in Mocheng."

The prince's eyes were full of inquiries, "You lived in the palace since you were a child, how did you meet him?"

After thinking about it, I decided to hide the matter of Cheng Feng.So he said: "I was robbed of my purse on the street that day, and fortunately he helped me. After that, we met a few times, and we were in the same mind. Today he proposed to me, and I agreed to him. I made an appointment to come to the door tomorrow Propose marriage."

As soon as I said this, I heard Uncle Zhao's "Prince" from outside the door.

The prince waved his sleeves, "Come in."

Uncle Zhao entered the door and stood beside me.

"How's it going?"

"Returning to the lord, Yang Ziyu is twenty years old. He was sent to Li Xiao's family to practice martial arts at a very young age. It has been more than ten years. He has a simple and honest temperament, and he is a very good child." Uncle Zhao said, between words On the contrary, he has some appreciation for Yang Ziyu.

The prince raised his eyebrows: "Then you mean that he is a person worth entrusting for life."

"The subordinates dare not jump to conclusions."

The prince looked at me again: "Qing'er, do you really like him?"

I collected myself and lowered my head slightly.

"Yes."

There was a silence after that.

After a while, the prince's slightly tired voice sounded.

"That's all, that's all, since you like it, then I'll meet him tomorrow."

I blessed myself: "Thank you, my lord."
