The Yandere Came During the Night

It is another annual ceremony. The common people and dignitaries in Shangjing gather at the Baiyun Taoist Temple to pray for good weather and good luck in the coming year.

Shen Yuanqi was walking in the blooming peach blossom forest. Hearing the familiar laughter in front of him, he paused, turned around and left.

"Master Shen, wait for me!" The nine princesses hurriedly caught up, followed by two palace maids who carried food boxes, "Master Shen, the peach blossoms are blooming here and the scenery is pleasant, why don't we sit down and eat something?"

She raised her little face, her dark and bright eyes full of the joy of seeing her sweetheart. The two palace maids immediately took out the cloth towel and spread it on the soft grass, and then took out the refreshments in the food box one by one and placed them neatly.

"Come and sit!"

Shen Yuanqi was still hesitating, but the Ninth Princess had already dragged him to the ground. Seeing that he was sitting a little embarrassed, she pursed her lips and smiled happily.

"This green tea cake was newly developed by the chef of the imperial kitchen. It is sweet but not greasy. It melts in your mouth. It is full of tea fragrance. I like it. Master Shen, you can try it too." He twisted a piece of light green pastry and fed it to Shen Yuanqi's mouth, with a look of anticipation on his face.

Shen Yuanqi couldn't help sighing in his heart. Although the ninth princess is older than the deep palace, her temperament is very simple, and she always digs her heart out for those she cares about. She has no other means, and she doesn't know how to induce the other party to fall in love with her. The only thing she can do is to give all her favorite things to the other party. She likes to eat, so she sends delicious cakes to Shen's house from time to time, which makes Shen Yuanqi quite distressed.

From a very early time, Shen Yuanqi had imagined what kind of wife he would marry in the future. The other party must be virtuous and capable, gentle and submissive, and smooth in handling things. He works hard in the court, and his wife helps him manage the housework and stabilize the house. The Nine Princesses did not match his vision at all, but they possessed the most valuable quality - sincerity.

Who doesn't like sincere people? Having experienced so many betrayals and hardships, Shen Yuanqi yearns for a simple life and simple feelings. It's not that he doesn't love the Ninth Princess, but the other party is the emperor's direct sister, and his status is unattainable. Although he is a second-rank official, he is a businessman, and he was sold as a slave. No matter how you think about it, he is not worthy. The arrogant daughter of the nine princesses.

In order not to add to his grief, he could only suppress his inner desire and waved his hand, "Princess, eat it yourself, Xiaguan doesn't care about sweet and greasy cakes, please don't send someone to deliver food to Xiaguan in the future. box."

The Ninth Princess was stunned for a while, then forced a smile, "So you don't like eating cakes. Actually, I don't like it either, and I won't eat it again. What do you like? I'll send it off instead."

She stretched out her fingertips and unknowingly messed up the petal-shaped cakes, looking very depressed.

"Back to the Ninth Princess, Xiaguan has no other hobbies, so I don't dare to bother the Princess." Shen Yuanqi couldn't bear it, and added, "The cakes have already been brought, it would be a waste not to eat them, the Xiaguan will spend a little or two with the Princess. , I still have important things to discuss with my colleagues after eating, so I have to go ahead. The princess will not have to send things to my house in the future, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it.”

How could the Ninth Princess not feel such an obvious rejection, she blinked her wet eyes and murmured, "You, will you accompany me to finish the cake before leaving?"

Shen Yuanqi hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yes."

Jiu Gongzhu picked up a piece of pastry and grinded it bit by bit with her teeth. After grinding it for a long time, she couldn't see the puff pastry wrapped in the outer layer. According to this way of eating, even if the sun goes down, the cake will not be finished.

Shen Yuanqi wanted to laugh a little, but he restrained himself as soon as the corner of his mouth rose. The girl in front of her is so pure and beautiful, she should be combined with the best man of the big man, but not a poor man with no background or background.

The ninth princess slowly licked the meringue with the tip of her tongue, and her wet eyes were fixed on the handsome young man's face, as if the other party was the fine wine to accompany the meal.

Shen Yuanqi was so hot as she was looking at him, he was sitting on pins and needles. He was hesitating whether it was time to leave, when he saw his little servant hurried over and said, "Master, Lord Wu is looking for you."

"Why?"

"I don't know, the servant said that I have something important to discuss with you." Then he saw the nine princesses and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

This was a random excuse, but he didn't expect that someone would cooperate so much, Shen Yuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately got up to leave. When he was far away, Ninth Princess ate the cake in her hand in two or three bites and rubbed her red eyes.

"I want Lord Shen to be my concubine, and I ask the emperor to give me a marriage." She stood up with a determined look on her face.

Half a year ago, Yu Xiang successfully gave birth to the eldest son of Yu Guogong's mansion. Because he inherited all the advantages of his parents' appearance, the little baby had the strength to capture all the big Han women when he was still in the swaddling clothes. No matter what, her arms would not let go, even if Yu Xiang sent someone to ask for it, she would complain and scold her, and she urged her grandson to file a memorial quickly and ask him to seal the prince as his little great-grandson.

Before the full moon, he became the heir of Yu Guogong's mansion. This speed was unprecedented. This shows that the Yu family loves little babies.

At this time, the old lady took her little great-grandson to the dojo to watch the ceremony, leaving Yu Xiang to entertain with a group of noble ladies. Mrs. Xue took Yu Xiang to the side hall and asked, "Your eldest brother is in his twenties, and there is no one around who knows how to be hot and cold. Have you ever made a deal for him?"

Shen Yuanqi neither took a concubine, nor was he willing to marry a wife, he was already twenty-four or five, and he was considered an old leftover man in a big man. However, Yu Xiang was not an ancient person, so he didn't worry about him in the slightest, so he smiled and said, "If he wants to marry, he doesn't want to marry, what should I do for him? This is a matter of fate, a love for two people, and can't be forced. ."

"You can't say that. Men get married first and then start a career. When they have family and children, they can live comfortably, and then they can run their heads." Madam Xue smiled, but her eyes were a little cold when she looked at Yu Xiang, her heart was halfway through. Brother and sister, they don't have much affection, otherwise, how could they be so indifferent to their elder brother, and don't think about how much effort Shen Yuanqi had done when the Yu family was down, he was really an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

Yu Xiang noticed the change in her expression, but she didn't take it seriously, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Madam is right. Since Madam has asked, there must be a candidate already? Tell me, I can help my eldest brother. Palm eyes."

Madam Xue finally showed a satisfied look on her face when she saw her going on the road, "I did help him meet a girl, it is my niece, who just got married this year. Yuan Qi must be very committed. I brought her today, just over there in the dojo, would you like to take a look?"

Hearing that the other party was Madam Xue's direct niece, Yu Xiang's eyes flashed with cold light, and she was about to open her mouth to refuse, but heard a frantic voice resounding at the door of the hall, "No! Lord Shen is my concubine and cannot marry anyone else!"

The two turned back immediately, only to see the Ninth Princess pouting at her waist, glaring at Madam Xue fiercely.

Madam Xue was startled and stammered, "Yuan, when did Yuan Qi become the concubine? Why don't the women know?"

"It's over after today, I'll go back to the palace and ask the emperor to make an order." The ninth princess walked up to Mrs. Xue, looked down at her with her two nostrils, and reprimanded by imitating the majesty of the queen mother and the emperor's sister-in-law, "You are so bold. , even dare to rob this princess' concubine! Which family do you belong to, hurry up and register your name!"

No matter how stupid the Ninth Princess was, she was raised by the empress and the crown prince, and she was so awe-inspiring and extravagant that ordinary people could not bear it. Madam Xue was overwhelmed by her pressure, and looked at Yu Xiang with pleading eyes.

Yu Xiang smiled and patted the Ninth Princess and introduced, "This is Mrs. Xue, my eldest brother's adoptive mother. Back then, Mr. Xue was kind to my eldest brother, and asked the princess not to care about Mrs. Xue for his sake. ."

"It turned out to be you." The ninth princess stopped pouting, and retracted her raised jaw, looking at the sweet ninth princess again.

"Mrs. Xue has something else to do. I'll give her a ride. The princess will wait here for a while, and I'll come back and discuss with you about my elder brother's marriage." She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last two words, and Yu Xiang gave Ninth Princess a deep look. , helped Mrs. Xue, who was like a pardon, to go out.

When the two walked to the corner, Yu Xiang whispered in her ear, "My eldest brother remembers your kindness, and has taken care of your Xue Family over the years, and has never been unhappy. However, you have the heart of a villain. The belly of a gentleman, I always thought that my eldest brother and you were constantly walking around to see Xue's family business, so we fortified him everywhere, and from time to time stabbed his heart with cold words. These are nothing, my eldest brother can bear it, and I can bear it too. Yes, but you take our tolerance for granted, and now you are trying to count him back. If you marry your niece, my eldest brother's house will be in your hands. Is the surname Shen or Xue? To tell you the truth, my tolerance for you has reached the limit. If you dare to use any more crooked minds, I can destroy the family business of your Xue residence with just a touch of your pinky finger. Just do it yourself Bar!"

Madam Xue felt chills in her bones, and she couldn't recover when Yu Xiang went out all the way. Over the years, Shen Yuanqi has been respectful to her, and even Yu Xiang has been courteous and helpful to her, so that she has forgotten what a wicked and arrogant character this man was when he was not married.

Although Xue's family's business is large, what is it compared to the Yu Guogong's mansion? Going against Yu Xiang is like shaking a tree, not to mention involving a ninth princess.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Mrs. Xue finally woke up, suppressed the fear in her heart, and ran away with her niece.

Shen Yuanqi heard the announcement of the Ninth Princess in Leiyin Hall. He couldn't tell how he felt. It was like eating dozens of catties of honey, and his sweet teeth were a little soft. He knew he couldn't, but he couldn't help but look forward to the future.

Emperor Chengqian, who had just succeeded to the throne, needed to win over a group of capable people with little background for his own use. In addition, Shen Yuanqi had a clean style and a clean house. After several considerations, he was able to complete the Ninth Princess.

The ecstasy and gratitude in Shen Yuanqi's heart are indescribable. Compared with Yu Pinyan, his brother-in-law, he is wholeheartedly devoted to the Ninth Princess.
