Chapter 15 Chance Encounter
Chapter 15 Chance Encounter
After calming down, Yan Qingwan carefully avoided the road he had just taken and turned to another path.
Yan Qingwan lowered his head and quietly concentrated on walking, and before he knew it, he arrived at a rockery in the imperial garden.
Her mind was in a mess and she didn't pay attention to her surroundings.
Suddenly, a woman's scream was heard coming from inside the rockery.
Yan Qingwan paused, then moved faster than he could think and looked inside the rockery.
Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly saw the fifth prince, Prince An, standing opposite a woman who looked familiar.
Prince An stood there with a figure as tall and straight as a pine tree. The royal blue robe he wore made his appearance even more extraordinary.
More importantly, he also had a good-looking face with red lips, white teeth, fresh and handsome appearance, and he looked like a handsome and elegant gentleman.
After Yan Qingwan realized that his behavior was inappropriate, he quickly retracted his gaze and took a step back, fearing that he would be noticed by the people inside.
Inside, Prince An lowered his head slightly, gazed lovingly at the pretty face below him, and asked softly, "Fang Zhi, how about I ask my father to marry you as my princess?"
The girl opposite shuddered all over, then she lowered her head, bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth, choked with sobs, and said with difficulty: "I am just a concubine's daughter, I am really not worthy of Your Highness..."
Prince An hurriedly whispered to comfort him, "What I like is you as a person, not your identity. As long as you agree, I will take care of everything else."
His tone was full of sincerity and determination.
Mu Fangzhi was secretly happy, but she looked very hesitant. Tears welled up in her eyes. She refused softly, "This is not good. After all, it's my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. My stepmother...she has already found a family for me. She said that all I have to do next is go through the formalities and I will be married off in half a year."
As she continued speaking, her voice became lower and lower, and at the end it sounded like the buzzing of a mosquito. If Prince An had not been close enough, he would not have been able to hear it all.
When she said the last sentence, she even squatted on the ground and sobbed softly. Her aggrieved look was so heartbreaking.
outside.
Yan Qingwan wanted to turn around and leave, but the conversation inside was like a cat scratching her heart. She would have been fine if she didn't listen, but she only listened to half of it. If she didn't hear the rest clearly, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night when she got home.
She was so anxious that she wished she could crawl into the rockery and listen carefully.
Oh my, it looks like I've encountered gossip.
It's still about His Royal Highness Prince An who is in love.
Yan Qingwan's heart was pounding with excitement, and she clung tightly to the rockery.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a shadow getting closer and closer, even blocking the sunlight above her head, and she could also feel a slight warmth coming from behind.
Yan Qingwan was so frightened that he clenched his fists and all the hair on his body stood up.
That guy is scaring her from behind?
Yan Qingwan mustered up the courage to look back, only to see a broad chest. His gaze moved slightly upwards, and I was like, “Oh my god!”
Standing behind her was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his personal eunuch!
Yan Qingwan originally wanted to open his mouth to remind them to speak in a lower voice so as not to disturb the two people in the rockery.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, the Crown Prince opposite her quickly covered her lips.
Yan Qingwan was stunned.
Then I reacted instantly, okay.
You are good-looking, so I won't suffer any loss.
It was just that the distance between them was too close. Although he gave her a strong sense of oppression, his appearance gave her a visual impact. Coupled with the slight warmth from his palms and back, her legs felt a little weak.
Yan Qingwan had to take a few deep breaths, and when he calmed down, he looked up at the prince.
His face turned slightly cold, and the conversation between the two people in the rockery rang in his ears again.
The eunuch standing next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who looked like a man but had a feminine appearance and was wearing a sunflower-shaped collared shirt, a black gauze hat and a rhino horn belt, felt his heart suddenly tighten. He quickly raised his eyes to look at his master, then carefully observed the situation inside the rockery, praying secretly that he would never hear Prince An utter any shocking words again.
I only heard Prince An inside comforting her: "Don't be sad, I have sent my men to investigate. There is a cousin who you have known since childhood. She is not your lover!"
Mu Fangzhi trembled and said, "Really? But, but my stepmother told me that although the other party's family background is not as good as ours, he has a good character. There is only one concubine in the family, and they have never given birth to children. After I marry him, as long as I can give birth to a legitimate son, I can secure the position of the main wife."
Prince An: "Silly girl, you are not her biological daughter, so she will not treat you sincerely. Fangzhi, as long as you are willing to marry me, I will protect you."
Mu Fangzhi: "Your Highness, I understand your good intentions, but I am only a concubine's daughter. My marriage is naturally decided by my mother. If I go against her wishes, it will definitely bring trouble to my aunt. Besides, I really don't want to hinder Your Highness's future. From now on, I just hope that we can go our separate ways, get married, and part ways."
When Yan Qingwan heard this, a hint of embarrassment flashed through his heart. As his eyes wandered, he noticed that his eunuch, who was standing one step behind the Crown Prince, had a pale face, sweat on his forehead, and his calves were trembling slightly with nervousness.
Yan Qingwan: “…”
With the comparison, she felt better.
Hey.
Then I felt a cool breeze coming from behind me.
Yan Qingwan: “…”
It's June now, honey!
It turned out that the human-shaped air conditioner described in the novel was not a lie, so she believed it.
She quietly turned her head and glanced at the expression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind her.
His face was extremely dark, as if a storm was about to come.
Feeling the girl's movements below, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lowered his gaze and looked directly at Yan Qingwan with cold eyes.
Yan Qingwan quickly withdrew his gaze in panic, then looked around as if nothing had happened.
Si Jinchen: “…”
He felt the soft, delicate and hot touch coming from the big palm. He paused, and his palm unconsciously felt as if it was burned, and his fingers couldn't help but shrink.
He wanted to withdraw his hand, but hesitated. His whole body was tense and it seemed that he could smell the fragrance emanating from the woman in front of him with every breath, which made him frown.
Seeing that she was still shaking her head, he thought for a moment, then stretched out his other hand to hold Yan Qingwan's head in place to prevent her from moving.
Yan Qingwan finally calmed down.
Si Jinchen also breathed a sigh of relief.
Inside the rockery.
Prince An excitedly grabbed Fang Zhi's hand and said seriously, "Fang Zhi, don't you know how I feel about you? I know you don't have confidence in me now, but you must believe that I can properly handle the affairs of your stepmother and aunt. Just wait and be my princess."
Mu Fangzhi felt the warmth from his palm, and the hesitation in her heart was slightly alleviated.
She lowered her head and bit her lip, then whispered, "Okay, I'll wait for your news. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it's also giving myself a chance."
Upon hearing this, Prince An nodded, gently reached out and wiped away the tears from Mu Fangzhi's eyes, and comforted her: "Well, we will definitely get what we want."
After saying that, he excitedly hugged Mu Fangzhi tightly, trying to give her a reliable hug.
A hint of joy flashed in Mu Fangzhi's eyes as she was held in his arms. Half of the matter was done. It all depended on how Prince An would proceed. She just hoped that she could jump out of the cage of the Mu family.
She closed her eyes, silently feeling the temperature of Prince An's body, and prayed silently in her heart that the days ahead would be smooth as she wished.
When Yan Qingwan heard Prince An say that we will definitely get what we want, he was forced by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to slowly retreat and come to a wide area.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince completely removed his hand and took a few steps back, keeping his distance.
After Yan Qingwan regained her freedom, she bowed slightly and said, "Your servant Yan Qingwan greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced down at her and said "hmm" coldly.
The young man next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the sky, then lowered his voice and reminded: "Your Highness, it's getting late, Miss Yan..."
Hearing the voice, the prince suddenly came back to his senses and responded softly. He lowered his head to look at the girl who was only as tall as his chest, and said to the eunuch beside him: "Cheng Yi, take Miss Yan back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."
After saying this, he took a step forward and soon disappeared around the corner.
"Miss Yan, please keep today's events confidential. If rumors get out, it will be troublesome."
Yan Qingwan withdrew his gaze from the Crown Prince's back and nodded calmly to the eunuch beside him: "Of course I know."
"Then please go ahead, Miss Yan!"
Yan Qingwan nodded and walked forward.
