Chapter 194 Stay
Yingliu glared at Xiaoyu coquettishly.
“You are the one who blames me. It was me who got drunk yesterday and pulled me over and said that I haven’t had a good night’s sleep for a long time.
I felt sorry for you because you slept for so long and I couldn't bear to wake you up, but you blamed me."
Xiao Yu looked at Ying Liu, seeing her cute appearance, and pursed his lips, "Then yesterday I..."
Ying Liu snatched the teacup he had finished drinking and rolled her eyes, "Mr. Xiao is as chaste as a jade. I, your servant, slept on the soft couch in the outer room yesterday."
Xiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to Ying Liu, "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
Ying Liu put the teacup on the table. "It's not like I'm suffering. Anyway, I like guests like you. I think it's great for the two of us to have a pure chat.
But, Master Xiao, my distinguished guest will be here soon, so now that you are awake, you should pack up and leave."
She pretended to be angry and chased him away, but there was a smile in her eyes.
Xiao Yu felt that he had judged others by his own standards. He opened his mouth to say something, but he was not an expert in love affairs and he did not know how to coax girls. In the end, he could only say dryly, "I'm leaving now."
Ying Liu couldn't stop laughing, and she held onto the table and said to him, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't drop anything that might cause misunderstanding."
As they were talking, a voice came from outside, "Where is Miss Yingliu?"
When Ying Liu heard the voice, she immediately stopped smiling and said, "Oh no, my distinguished guest is here."
When Xiao Yu heard this, his face changed drastically, "What should I do? If he bumps into me here, will it have any effect on you? I...I'll jump off the second floor?"
As he said that, Xiao Yu really turned around and walked towards the window. Ying Liu pulled him back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "What's the point of you jumping down? Are we really having an affair?"
Xiao Yu was choked by what she said, "What should we do then?"
Ying Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, just say you came to borrow the chess manual from me."
Before he could finish his words, the door of the outer room of Yingliu's room was pushed open, and a person in a white brocade robe walked into the room and entered Xiao Yu's sight first. Following the white robe, he looked upwards and saw the Crown Princess dressed as a man coming in, waving a folding fan.
Xiao Yu's back suddenly stiffened.
He had heard that the Crown Princess often visited the Broken Red Mansion, but he had always thought it was just a rumor. After all, there had been too many rumors about the Crown Princess since she came to the Great Yan Kingdom.
True and false, who knows which one is the truth.
Looking clearly at the person in front of him at this moment, Xiao Yu was stunned.
Su Qingqing, on the other hand, frowned as soon as she saw someone in the room as soon as she entered, "Is there anyone else in your room?"
She asked Ying Liu, her voice obviously cold and unhappy, which was consistent with her unruly and arrogant personality.
Ying Liu hurriedly went up to him and bowed, "He is the son of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion. He came to me to borrow a chessboard. I am looking for one for him."
Xiao Yu came back to his senses and bowed to Su Qingqing. Because Su Qingqing was dressed as a man, Ying Liu did not directly address her. For a moment, Xiao Yu was not sure whether Ying Liu knew Su Qingqing's identity, so he could only say respectfully, "Sorry for bothering you."
Su Qingqing snorted coldly, "I am indeed disturbing you. Your father didn't blow me up, so you are here waiting for me?"
Xiao Yu immediately lowered his eyes. These words made him realize that Su Qingqing did not hide her identity. "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I really came here to borrow the chessboard."
Su Qingqing fanned herself and walked to the chair next to her, pulled it open, and sat down carelessly, "Did I misunderstand you?"
Xiao Yu lowered his head, "I dare not."
Su Qingqing sneered, "Don't dare? That means you are deceiving me?"
Xiao Yu pursed his lips, not knowing how to respond for a moment. He knew clearly that the Crown Princess was just trying to make things difficult for him.
That's right, as soon as the Crown Princess came to the Kingdom of Yan, she was tripped up by Rong San, and then Rong San went to her for trouble many times.
Now the shop that their family gave to the Crown Prince almost blew up the Crown Princess.
Since he is the son of the Rong'an Marquis, it is normal for the Crown Princess to be annoyed with him.
In other words, it would be strange if you weren't annoyed with him.
As the son of the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, he has no share of the Rong'an Marquis's glory, but has to bear a lot of the blame. Xiao Yu smiled bitterly in his heart.
Su Qingqing glanced at him and said unhappily, "What are you standing there for? Am I punishing you to stand?"
Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "I dare not."
Su Qingqing said, "Don't dare? I see you look dissatisfied."
Ying Liu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, why do you have to be angry with him? He is just a concubine's son in the Rong'an Marquis's mansion. Everyone knows that the concubine's sons in the Rong'an Marquis's mansion are all spoiled by the wives of the principal wives. The affairs of their mansion are beyond the reach of the concubines. You are really wronging him by taking your anger out on him."
Su Qingqing glanced at Ying Liu and softened her attitude a little, "This is the first time I've seen someone who can make you say something nice."
Ying Liu smiled and said, "I'm not saying anything nice, he's really feeling wronged too."
After looking at Xiao Yu, Ying Liu did not continue. After all, it was his private matter. Su Qingqing raised her eyebrows and leaned back. "Okay, in that case, I'll let you go."
Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when he thought Su Qingqing wanted him to get out and he was ready to get out, he heard the Crown Princess say, "Meeting is fate, come on, let's have a drink together."
Xiao Yu: Huh?
He slowly raised his head, his eyes widened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and looked at Su Qingqing in surprise.
The Crown Princess stared at him, "Why? I can't invite you, the illegitimate son of the Rong'an Marquis?"
Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "I dare not."
Su Qingqing kicked the stool next to her away like a bandit, "Then sit down."
Xiao Yu: ...
What sin had he committed to offend this ancestor?
Knowing that Su Qingqing had attacked Su Yunyun right under the Empress Dowager's nose on the day she entered the palace to offer tea, Xiao Yu did not dare to anger this ancestor and had to obey the order and sit down.
Su Qingqing waved her hand, "Alright, let's drink and listen to music, all the irrelevant people please leave, it's annoying to see so many people standing around, get out of here."
She waved her hand, and Ying Liu said hurriedly: "You guys wait at the door, I will serve the queen and Mr. Xiao here."
After everyone left, only Su Qingqing and her servant were left in the room, playing the flute to Yingliu. Su Qingqing poured a glass of wine and drank it by herself, then said to Yingliu, "Play the new song you composed."
Yingliu responded with a smile, placed the guzheng not far in front of Su Qingqing, and started playing.
It turned out to be a marching song, which made the listeners feel passionate and excited.
Xiao Yu had been suppressed by the wife of Marquis Rong'an when he was growing up. Over the years, what he longed for most was to be able to roam freely and travel the world.
Su Qingqing looked at Xiao Yu's expression and rubbed her fingertips. After Xiao Yu drank three cups of wine, she said with a half-smile, "I have a good job for you. Do you dare to take it?"
