Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1619 Is it because I don’t belong to the right family?

Princess Jin Huai spent the next one or two days in uneasiness.

While she expected Chen Shaoyou to find ways to reply to her letter, she was also worried about being punished for not listening to the queen.

She just endured it in fear.

But on this day, she finally received the news: "Princess, I invite you to go to a place."

With an uneasy mood, Princess Jinhuai followed the palace officials to the Xiefang Hall next to the Imperial Garden.

She was led directly into the apse, and shortly after she sat down restlessly, there was a sound from outside.

"Mr. Chen, I'm a little tired after walking around for a long time. How about we go inside to rest for a while and have some tea?"

"it is good."

Hearing this haunting voice, Princess Jin Huai jumped up and stood up immediately.

The palace attendant beside her reminded her in a low voice: "My Majesty, I want you to listen quietly to the end. This is Yin's decree."

Princess Jinhuai had no choice but to hold back her temper.

But the handkerchief that was almost clenched showed her inner tension.

She was afraid, afraid of hearing bad news.

She was also afraid, afraid that Mr. Chen would not be able to detect Lu Yi's temptation.

There she was, quietly listening to the conversation outside through a thin door.

Lu Yi held the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Chen Shaoyou.

The fragrance of tea overflows, and the misty white steam changes in the air, giving the view of the Xiefang Hall a feeling of being in the depths of the clouds.

The man opposite him was sitting upright, with his crow-feather-like black hair half bundled and half loose, draped over his body, and his jade-colored robe spread out like flowing water.

He is a very good-looking man, no wonder Ah Liu is jealous.

He picked up the tea, took a sip, smiled and praised, "Good tea."

Lu Yi covered her lips and smiled, "It's fine if you like it, Master."

Chen Shaoyou put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Miss Lu Yi to have such good craftsmanship. Being able to drink the tea brewed by Miss Lu Yi is a blessing for being born late."

"Then..." Lu Yi suddenly raised her eyes and extended her voice. She glanced at Chen Shaoyou, and then quickly looked away.

The girl's shyness and reserve are vividly interpreted.

Chen Shaoyou lowered his eyelids and said in a low and soft voice: "Miss Lu Yi, do you want to tell me something?"

Lu Yi was silent for a moment, but her nervous and rapid breathing could be heard.

She took a deep breath, as if to gather her courage, and then spoke.

"Mr. Chen, since I dare to ask my sister by name for this marriage, it shows that I am not a coy person."

"I want an answer from you now. Please tell me seriously. Do you like me? Do you want to get married?"

After hearing such straightforward words, Chen Shaoyou slowly raised his eyelashes.

He looked at the girl in front of him. Her green dress made her look extraordinary.

It was just a glance, and he looked away, observing the etiquette and not overstepping the mark.He said: "Miss Lu Yi, are you serious?"

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "Yes! Of course it is! Does Mr. Chen not believe me?"

Chen Shaoyou lowered his eyelids again, his expression showing no emotion or anger.

Suddenly, he raised the corners of his lips: "Of course... I am willing."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately covered his face with a handkerchief.

Jin Huai, who was in the inner hall, was in tears after the initial disbelief.

She covered her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.

I was afraid that the crying would disturb the good things outside.

Chen Shaoyou didn't know this.

At this time, Lu Yi put down the veil and did not dare to look at Chen Shaoyou, looking shy.

Her voice was full of joy and expectation, and she said cautiously: "Can I ask you a question?"

Chen Shaoyou smiled and nodded: "Miss Lu Yi, please ask."

Lu Yi was silent, as if hesitating.

Then, she said: "My sister has checked your background for me. To be honest, with my background, I would be a little uneasy about being worthy of you."

"When I heard you said yes, I don't know how to describe my feelings, but I am very happy, really happy."

"But there is one thing that I am very concerned about. My sister told me that you have been exchanging letters with a woman, and your words reveal that you are in love."

"And that woman is the current Princess Jin Huai. She is more beautiful than me, has a nobler background than me, and has better conditions than me."

"I want to know, between me and Princess Jinhuai, are you really willing to choose me, don't you mind my identity, don't you mind that I'm not a golden girl?"

Chen Shaoyou answered immediately, as if without thinking: "You don't mind my identity as a concubine, how can I care about your identity?"

Lu Yi opened his eyes wide, as if in disbelief.

She asked again: "Do you really don't mind?"

Chen Shaoyou replied firmly: "I don't mind."

Lu Yi asked again: "What about Princess Jin Huai? How do you explain it?"

Chen Shaoyou lowered his eyelids again, covering up all his emotions.

He said it calmly: "If you make friends through literature, you will make friends who are close friends, not the women in your life."

"The princess is knowledgeable and kind. She is a good friend and a confidant, but she is not the person I want to be my wife."

"My family will not allow me to marry her, and we are far apart from each other. It would be wrong for us to get together."

"Isn't it right that the door is closed?" Princess Jinhuai inside couldn't hold it back after all. She opened the door of the inner hall and walked out, looking at Chen Shaoyou with tears in her eyes.

"Is it because I don't belong to the right family? Is it just because of that? Shaoyou, do you dare to look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't like me at all?"
