Chapter 20 Engagement

Yun Zhao was bored and wanted to stay far away from Xiao Changyin.

She saw that as soon as she left the pavilion, several good-looking girls approached her.

Su Xi looked anxious, but Qiu Yue was not in a hurry and just led Yun Zhao to an interesting and secluded place.

"You go and sit down, I'll be alone for a while."

Yun Zhao walked forward and sat on a stone bench near the pool.

There was fish food on the table nearby, so she took it and sprinkled it on the water.

Soon, the calm water surface rippled.

And before her eyes, one after another red and white koi couldn't help but circle around the fish food on the water.

"Princess, Miss Qin is here." Qiuyue walked forward with her head lowered, leaned over and whispered in Yun Zhao's ear.

Yun Zhao paused with his hand holding the fish food, then turned his head and looked at Qin Mingyue.

Just like her name, she is really like a bright moon hanging in the sky, cold and beautiful.

Yun Zhao pointed to another stone bench next to her and asked, "Miss Qin, do you want to sit down?"

Qin Mingyue stepped forward, her eyebrows curved in a gentle arc, "Although it is only the second time, I feel familiar every time I see the Crown Princess."

Yun Zhao's eyebrows twitched but he said nothing.

If she heard this for the first time, she would probably believe it.

But if you have heard it dozens of times, even if it is said sincerely, it will feel false when you hear it again.

Qiuyue stood far away, with worry in her eyes.

After thinking about it, she asked Su Xi to guard here while she quickly turned around and prepared to go to the pavilion to tell Xiao Changyin.

"The Crown Princess may not know that I once had a marriage contract with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Yun Zhao threw the remaining fish food in his hand into the pond, and then wiped the debris on his hand with a handkerchief.

He said "Oh" to Qin Mingyue.

"Isn't the Crown Princess angry at all?" Qin Mingyue felt strange. She thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that the Crown Princess didn't seem to care at all.

She ordered people to investigate Yun Guo's affairs.

His Highness the Crown Prince sneaked into the Yun Kingdom and did many unavoidable things. Just listening to the description in the letter of what His Highness had done for this woman made her feel sour and unbearable.

It's impossible for this woman not to be tempted.

Since I was moved, why did I act indifferent and unconcerned when I heard her say this?

Yun Zhao looked at her strangely, "Why should I be angry?"

She used the top of her leather fan to support her chin, and looked at Qin Mingyue seriously, the emotions in her eyes were very sincere.

She really didn't understand why this person thought she was angry.

Qin Mingyue suddenly raised her eyes and caught a glimpse of Xiao Changyin's figure from the corner of her eye. She didn't care to distinguish it carefully and smiled quickly, "I just hope that the Crown Princess will not misunderstand what I said today."

"My daughter used to have a marriage contract with His Highness, so there are sometimes rumors."

Yun Zhao nodded, "Who doesn't have a marriage contract yet?"

Qin Mingyue stood up and was about to leave, but when she suddenly heard these words, she froze on the spot.

"My daughter, please leave first."

Xiao Changyin has already walked in front of Yun Zhao. Qin Mingyue can't stay any longer, so she can only leave first.

She almost turned back three times every step of the way, hoping that the man would even lay his eyes on her.

Unfortunately not.

Qin Mingyue was a little disappointed. She had been preparing for her outfit today for a long time.

Yun Zhao was a little annoyed with Xiao Changyin, so he sat down on the stone bench next to him, but Xiao Changyin did not sit down, but stood behind her.

Looking from afar, they are a pair of perfect match made in heaven.

The girls who had tried their best to get close to the pavilion had some disappointment on their faces. With Fan Zhou standing there, they couldn't get close at all.

I originally thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally left the pavilion, but who knew that he went to the Crown Princess's place again.

No matter how much they wanted to enter the East Palace, they would not have the nerve to seduce the prince in front of the princess.

So I can only sigh constantly, after all, the opportunities to see His Royal Highness are very few.

"Mingyue, what happened? That woman drove you here?"

The speaker was Xu Lian'er, the daughter of General Anton, who was looking coldly in the direction of Yun Zhao. If the sight could be transformed into reality, Yun Zhao would have countless holes in his body at this time.

Qin Mingyue shook her head, "The Crown Princess is a wonderful person, don't say these words in the future."

Xu Lian'er's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe that Qin Mingyue would say that. After all, the two of them chatted a lot in private, and the various speculations about the Crown Princess were not considered well-intentioned.

"You just give up?"

"Mingyue, don't forget that without her, you are the most likely person to be the crown princess."

"Who else can match your reputation? You were engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince in the past."

Qin Mingyue felt bitter in her mouth when she heard this. To outsiders, it seemed that His Majesty had terminated the engagement for some unknown reason.

The rumors at that time were that the prince was incompetent and had aroused His Majesty's dislike, so he did not even find a good marriage partner for him.

She knows better than anyone how such rumors spread.

And she knows the truth better than anyone else.

However, she has no right to speak in the Qin family, and she has no right to speak in His Majesty.

"Okay." Qin Mingyue patted Xu Lian'er's shoulder, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is married, so please don't say this again."

Really worried that Xu Lian'er had nothing to say, Qin Mingyue added, "If you talk nonsense outside, what will you do to your father's future?"

Xu Lian'er said sadly, "Should we just let her sit firmly in the position of the Crown Princess?"

"His Highness is also pitiful. We in Beixiao don't have any kind of women, yet he wants to marry someone he doesn't like."

Don't like it?

Qin Mingyue's eyes were stunned and she didn't understand.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to treat the Crown Princess no differently than he treated other women in the past, coldly and without a trace of warmth.

But it seems that something is different.

"Li Xun." Xiao Changyin suddenly said, "I will follow Yunyang to Beixiao to celebrate my father's birthday."

Li Xun is the person who was once engaged to Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao slowly raised his head, "What?"

Although her expression did not change, there was confusion in her tone, as if she didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned Li Xun, or she seemed to have forgotten this person.

"It's nothing." The blackness in Xiao Changyin's eyes faded away bit by bit from the middle, until all the dark emotions filled his eyes.

But soon, after he raised his head, he hid all these emotions.

Not long after that, they started reciting poems and writing poems not far away, and Yun Shuiling was among them.

Because she was brought by Zheng Yue, and because she inadvertently revealed her identity and had just spoken to Yun Zhao, no one had any doubts.

And he was very considerate to her and praised her a few words after she composed the poem.
