Li Yuyan was confused: "Did you really say that we should continue to be friends?"

"Seriously!" Ji Qingyu smiled warmly, like a touch of warmth in autumn.

Seeing that she was not moved, he quickly added: "The kind of close friend who talks over wine and talks about everything!"

Seeing his sincere expression, Li Yuyan thought for a moment, and felt soft when she remembered that when he had just returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year, he had helped him get the topographic map from the Ministry of War.

It's better to have only one or two drinks without getting drunk, and to talk clearly to many friends than to many enemies.

Then he smiled lightly and nodded: "That's fine."

Ji Qingyu put the two bottles of wine back into the horseback bag and said with a smile: "Then let's ride slowly?"

"Okay." Li Yuyan got on his horse.

Ji Qingyu also got on the horse, and the two of them rode slowly together.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the surrounding scenery was coated with a layer of warm light.

The two figures walked on equal footing. Although they looked at each other silently, Ji Qingyu's lips curled up slightly.

It had been a long time since she and he had been alone together like this.

When they arrived at the restaurant, when the shopkeeper saw Li Yuyan, he smiled so hard that his eyes were not eyes and his eyebrows were not eyebrows, and he bowed his hands and saluted: "Young man, I have seen the princess!"

Li Yuyan looked at Ji Qingyu, who smiled and said, "Everyone in my restaurant knows the identity of the princess."

After a pause, Ji Qingyu said to the shopkeeper: "Old Ji Tou, send all the specialty dishes of our restaurant to the private room."

"Okay, okay!" the shopkeeper said happily, then turned around and told the waiter to get busy.

The East Palace at this moment.

The secret guard reported: "Your Highness, the princess left the Imperial College today to study. She did not return to Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, but followed Prince Qing."

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng frowned: "Ji Qingyu?"

Secret guard: "Exactly, my subordinates saw Prince Qing carrying two jugs of wine from a distance, as if inviting the princess to drink together."

Ye Yiheng cursed, was she just deceived by Ji Qingyu's two bottles of wine?

Thinking about her poor drinking ability, he was inexplicably irritated.

This woman is so annoying!

How many times have I told her that if a man invites her to drink, he must have bad intentions!

Over here at the restaurant.

When Ji Qingyu and Li Yuyan arrived at the private room on the second floor, not long after, the food was served and the lids of the two jugs of orange wine were opened.

Ji Qingyu stood up and first poured the wine glass in front of her, then filled the wine glass in front of him.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Li Yuyan slowly said: "Qingyu, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

Hearing her call "Qingyu", Ji Qingyu smiled warmly on his face, but felt a dull pain in his heart.

"Ayan, I want to know what's the difference between me and Ye Yiheng?"

"Tell the truth?"

"Of course I'm telling the truth!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and you are two different individuals. If we really talk about it, he is inferior to you in many ways. For example, his cold illness is more severe than yours, and he has eye problems..."

"But you chose him!" Just when he was about to get excited, Ji Qingyu forced himself to calm down, pinched his thigh, smiled and asked, "Ayan, why did you choose him?"

"Should I choose him?" Li Yuyan muttered and repeated.

Ji Qingyu chuckled: "Didn't you say that you were in love with each other when you were in front of the emperor that day? Could it be that it was fake?"

His eyes were always sharp, and Li Yuyan smiled lightly: "Emotional matters are so unreasonable. Maybe I moved into the East Palace for a long time, and I have a good impression of him inexplicably."

Seeing her eyes dodge, Ji Qingyu clenched his fist, suppressed the idea of ​​holding her wrist, and asked in a deep voice: "Is he coercing you?"

"No."

"Ayan, look at me and tell the truth!" Ji Qingyu stared at her with burning eyes, "Did he kiss you?"

Li Yuyan shook her head blankly. Apart from chewing her neck, the madman had never kissed her. Even when she approached her, he pushed her away. How could he kiss her?

Ji Qingyu laughed at himself, he saw it with his own eyes in her courtyard the day before yesterday!

"Otherwise, what's the explanation for the red mark on your neck before? Ayan, could it be that if I did the same to you, you would choose me?"

Li Yuyan patted the table: "Ji Qingyu, what nonsense are you talking about? If you keep doing this, there is no need to drink any more wine today."

Hearing this, Ji Qingyu raised his head and poured the wine from the cup down his throat.

The usually extremely sweet orange wine was filled with bitterness at this moment, but there was still a gentle smile on his face.

"You see you are angry, don't you? Didn't we say we need to speak clearly?"

After saying that, he clenched the hand holding the cup tightly. He was Ji Qingyu, who was known as the little bully in the capital. He liked a woman and restrained himself again and again. He wanted to do things that he dared not do, but the blind man did them.

This is not like his past style!

Li Yuyan picked up the wine glass, took a small sip, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, when I am with you, I feel very relaxed as you used to be, and I don't need to be wary of anything. You have your secrets, and I have mine."

Secret, Li Yu and Li Yu, at that time we were in the best state of getting along."

"In front of His Highness the Crown Prince, I felt inexplicably afraid and panicked. I wanted to escape from him all the time."

But for some reason, once she was far away from him, she would always think of him every night in the dead of night. Even if she didn't think of him, in those dreams, she and he would always meet and get madly entangled with each other.

Like a curse, the more she tried to escape, the more she couldn't escape. On the contrary, she took the initiative to get closer to him.

She did not say these last words.

Ji Qingyu said: "Now even if you want to escape, you can't escape. Is it because of your identity?"

Li Yuyan smiled lightly, neither admitting nor denying.

After pondering in his mind for a long time, he asked: "Ayan, if you give up the Zhenbei Palace, and I give up my position as the county king, and my parents, how about we two wandering around the world?"

She shook her head: "There is no such thing as a what-if! You are a little bully, you can be as willful as you used to be, and you can leave your parents whenever you want. But I am different. I finally have a family, and I don't even have time to cherish it. How can I give it up?"

Ji Qingyu sighed: "Then can we still be friends?"

She took a big sip of wine, coughed, and smiled, her eyes twinkling with laughter: "Usually, I thought you and I were very good friends. When you are lonely in life, you have a friend with whom you can talk without any hindrance because of your status."

,That is a good thing. But, Qingyu, I didn’t expect..."

Ji Qingyu smiled bitterly: "If we could turn back time, we could be Li Yu and Li Yu's pure friends again!"

Ayan, do you know why I changed my name to Li Yu? It was because I wanted to get close to you.

In the Shanye Inn, you healed my arm and lent me money. At that time, I fell in love with you!

If feelings come first, Ayan, I fell in love with you much earlier than the blind man!

The blind man must be scornful of her, she had no choice but to choose the blind man.

If he had a closer skin-to-skin contact with her, would she choose him?

Thinking of this, Ji Qingyu lifted the wine pot and quietly pressed the button on the bottom of the pot. The drug in the compartment quickly dissolved into the wine.

As long as she drank the orange wine with the drug dissolved in it, she would fall asleep. Knowing that she had some medical skills, she deliberately chose a colorless and odorless drug.
