Chapter 155: The Cold-blooded Governor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace 4
Yingsi dared not accept the compliment, "Serving the country is the duty of the people."
The emperor glanced at her meaningfully and said with a faint smile: "What a great service to the country! Women are truly as good as men."
After a pause, he continued, "It just so happens that I have invited an old acquaintance of yours today, so you can just meet him together."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Fu hurriedly shouted, "Announce that the Governor of the Eastern Depot, Wei Xuanzhi, is here to see you—"
Yingsi's smile froze and she turned to look outside the hall.
Wei Xuanzhi was still wearing the brown Feiyu suit and a sword at his waist as he entered the hall.
The five years seemed to have no effect on him, his appearance and expression were the same as before.
The cold eyes looked ahead with indifference.
He must have known that she had returned to Beijing, but he didn't show any reaction, not even a glance at her.
Yingsi glanced at him and then looked away.
Forget it, there are still ten points of favorability left, I can take them and leave.
"Your Majesty, I am Wei Xuanzhi. Your Majesty, please come and see me." His voice was as cold as ever.
The emperor nodded and asked him to sit aside. Then the two looked at each other and said to Yingsi, "I just said that you and Xuanzhi are familiar with each other. Have you been in frequent contact in the past few years?"
Yingsi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you are joking. I have never had much contact with this gentleman. I have not been in the capital in recent years, and I have even forgotten what he looks like."
Wei Xuanzhi from the opposite side cast a stern look at her, but Yingsi simply ignored it.
"Oh?" The emperor turned to look at Wei Xuanzhi again: "Have you forgotten too?"
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at that place and said in a deep voice: "Yes."
The emperor looked up in surprise and suddenly smiled: "I thought you two were in love with each other, so I would take this opportunity to announce your marriage today. It seems that I was overthinking it."
After saying this, he looked up in confusion.
Then the emperor said, "But I think about it. Yingsi used to be the queen's favorite maid, and now she is not young anymore. It is not right for a woman not to marry. Why don't you help recommend some good men today? I will help her get married..."
Yingsi was about to refuse when Wei Xuanzhi opposite her suddenly stood up, walked to the front of the hall and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I just said something that was not in my mind."
Hearing this, the emperor was shocked again: "So, you want to marry Yingsi?"
Yingsi frowned and looked at him, and he glanced sideways, meeting her gaze.
As if he understood something, Yingsi withdrew his gaze.
Wei Xuanzhi replied: "Yes."
The emperor looked at Yingsi again, seeming a little embarrassed: "But you have some flaws after all, and I don't know if Yingsi is willing."
Yingsi paused, then opened her lips and said, "I... am willing."
After this incident, Yingsi truly realized the horror of the emperor's scheming.
From the very beginning, she was not allowed to enter the palace because of the Lianzhou matter. All the arrangements were made to make her marry Wei Xuanzhi.
But she had no idea why the emperor did this.
After leaving Shou'an Hall, everyone was congratulating her and Wei Xuanzhi.
Yingsi dealt with it nonchalantly, but was kidnapped when she was about to step into Zhang Leqing's carriage.
As soon as the hands landed on her waist, she guessed who it was.
So she was not surprised at all when she ended up in the house of Prefect Wei Xuan.
He looked at her for a long while, and finally opened his mouth.
"You don't have to come."
Yingsi had been expecting him to say something nice, but now she was too lazy to listen to a single word.
"My Lord, do you regret it? That's great. I don't really want to get married either. Let's go to the palace and make it clear. Let the Emperor appoint me to someone else."
He frowned slightly: "You know that's not what I meant."
Yingsi sneered, "How would I know what you mean? If I misunderstand you and you say it was a coincidence, an accident, or something like that, how would I get justice?"
He was stunned for a moment, as if he recalled something, and then sighed: "It's my fault."
Yingsi raised an eyebrow. The sun rose from the west. How could he have made a mistake?
"How could you be wrong, sir? You have always been cautious and calculated everything. I am the one who is wrong."
Once she starts to act sarcastic, it means she is really angry.
Wei Xuanzhi lowered his eyes, took a step forward, took her hand, and then took out an exquisite warm jade pendant from his arms.
"This is the last thing in the Gu family. I want to marry you, and this is the only thing that can compare to my heart..."
Ying Si lowered her head and glanced at him, then raised her eyes and smiled softly: "My Lord's heart is like a needle in the sea. I don't know what your heart is like, so how can I know if this thing can be compared to it?"
He blinked his eyelashes and looked at her seriously: "Then what should I do?"
She looked at him, her red lips slightly parted.
"explain."
Wei Xuanzhi was startled: "Say...what."
She also took a step closer, followed his example and put her hands behind her back, then looked up at him with a burning gaze: "Say... you like me, you love me, you miss me, you can't bear to leave me..."
“I want to listen to it every day, every moment…”
There was a gleam in her eyes, as if cunning.
Wei Xuanzhi was silent for a moment, then opened his lips and said, "Will you be happy after hearing these? They are just a few flowery words, how can they tell a person's true heart?"
She rolled her eyes and tilted her head slightly, revealing a charming expression.
"Other people's may not be able to be judged, but yours... can be judged..."
"Why."
She moved closer until her lips were close to his jaw, and she whispered softly...
"Because I just want to hear you say it~"
Looking at her, his eyelashes suddenly trembled, and his jaw moved slightly downwards, so that he could easily touch that softness, and then his breath stagnated in his chest, and his heart was filled with love...
System: Favorability +10~
System: Congratulations to the host, your favorability has reached full level and your mission has been completed.
Ying Si: "Then can I run away early?"
System: According to the regulations, it is possible, but there is still a long time before the hero dies, and there is no guarantee that there will be any problems later.
A low, hoarse voice came from my ear: "Love turns around, lingering in my dreams..."
Yingsi raised his eyes and met a pair of eyes that were no longer restrained. After his forbearance faded away, his love was more turbulent than ever.
His love never stays on the surface. It only bursts out like a flood when his heart can no longer hold it.
It can be seen and heard.
She looked into his eyes, and suddenly blinked her eyelashes. She couldn't help but hold his face and whispered: "I can't bear to..."
Wei Xuanzhi's eyes froze: "What?"
Yingsi shook her head slightly and smiled: "Nothing, I just said, I like you a little bit."
He curled his lips slightly, "I know."
Yingsi raised her eyes, looking serious: "I'm serious."
He picked her up and their eyes finally leveled.
"understood."
"You haven't said it yet."
He was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes: "There is no one else in sight, all around... is you."
