Li Sui felt that she was suddenly shrouded in a layer of sadness, turned her head slightly, and showed half of her face, he couldn't see what the expression was, only felt a burst of worrying irritability.

For so long, he has exhausted his patience and gentleness, loved her, tolerated her, and was considerate of her, and never thought of taking advantage of others' danger to force her to be with him.

But he will also be tired, he will be lost, and he will be sad, he has made so many promises to her, why can't she hear it in her heart?

Li Sui clenched his fists, a green tendon burst out of his forehead, but his tone of voice was as gentle as he could, "Jin Yu, I know that you are not indifferent to me, but why do you just refuse to accept my affection for you?" ”

Ye Jinyu stiffened his back and looked at the retreating pedestrians and shops outside the window, and in his words he heard a strong sadness and a sense of powerlessness that he had worked hard for a long time but had not been rewarded.

She will feel sorry for him, and she will feel guilty for it, and even feel that she is too hypocritical and cowardly, thinking so much and worrying so much, and she doesn't even dare to talk about love.

But she was really afraid, afraid that she would be trapped in it and unable to extricate herself, afraid that she would rather compromise than be able to do without him, afraid that she would become a scheming girl in the back house who only knows how to compete for favor.

In fact, she is not afraid of a fruitless relationship, after all, no one can guarantee how long a relationship will last, she is just worried that she will get lost.

"Then why me? With your status, you can't find what you want, and there's no need to waste time on me. Ye Jinyu hid his hand in his sleeve, held it tightly, and silently accumulated courage for himself.

Li Sui's calm on the surface was about to be unbearable, and one of his hearts was put into a pool of mud and stirred around, but the person who made him willing to do it was indifferent to this, and even persuaded him that there was no need for it.

"No matter how good others are, what does Ben Hou have to do with him, Ben Hou just takes a fancy to you, don't think about perfunctory me, let's make it clear today." Li Sui, who was stimulated, decided not to care about those so-called plans, what kind of step-by-step, what kind of gentle offensive, if this little girl refused to cooperate, even if he really poured his heart out of her, it would be useless.

This is a conscienceless person, and if she continues to avoid it like this, maybe one day she will sneak away.

Ye Jinyu has seen many sides of Hou Ye, and she has also seen many of his emotions, like she is so angry and strong now, she has not been taught.

But there has never been a time like this now, which makes her frightened at the same time, and at the same time bursts out of deep guilt and distress.

But what could she do? She didn't want to hurt him, and she had to. Well, it seems more hypocritical to say that, but she really doesn't dare to take the risk.

If he really wanted an answer, then she would ...... Take a gamble!

Ye Jinyu raised his head, looked at the other party's eyes seriously, and in his re-shining eyes, he said solemnly: "If you can promise me that you will only marry me in the future and never take a concubine, I will try it with you." ”

Li Sui's eyes suddenly darkened again, and he looked at her in shock and incredulity, his face full of incomprehension.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Jinyu only smiled bitterly, turned his head to look out the window again, and took the initiative to end the topic.

Li Sui was indeed shocked, it was the first time he had heard such a request, and he had never thought that any girl would be able to say such a thing before.

He can understand the feelings of a wife who wants to monopolize her husband, but no wife would make such a request to her husband openly, let alone a girl who has not yet left the court.

Isn't she afraid of being identified as a jealous woman? Isn't it ruining your reputation? Oh yes, she's not afraid, that time when she was in Xiangjun Villa, she said she didn't care about this.

She is not even afraid of this, and he can also ensure that his love for her is undiminished, why do he have to worry about the problem of wives and concubines.

Li Sui looked at her thin silhouette, the softness in his heart was poked again, he was afraid that he would hurt her if he said something, and when he saw that she had drilled the tip of the horns, he had to say it.

"Although I am a marquis, but there are no relatives and elders in the family, His Majesty said in the early years that in the future, my marriage will be decided by him, and I will not disappoint the Li family's loyalty to the Northern Palace......"

Ye Jinyu moved his head slightly, wanting to look at the person who spoke, but he didn't really look at it.

He wanted to tell her that he couldn't help his marriage, so he couldn't promise her anything.

It's okay this way, and she will be able to persuade herself to give up even more clearly after making it clear.

Li Sui thought about her, and his tone became more and more affectionate and firm, "This is Your Majesty's promise to the Li family, and he will not change it again." I can promise you no more concubines, and I can also raise you as a flat wife, but the future Mrs. Hou ......"

"No need!" Ye Jinyu finally turned her head, she was not angry at all now, and even smiled at him, even if they had different views, she also knew that disobeying the emperor's order was a fatal thing.

It's just that she knows what she knows, even if she understands his difficulties, she won't compromise because of this. He has his last resort, and she also has her principles, even if she has to be lonely for the rest of her life, she will not agree to the second maid and one husband.

"I am very grateful for your kindness to me, and I am glad that you have taken me so seriously and made such a concession for me. But what you gave me wasn't what I wanted. ”

"And what do you want?" Li Sui tensed his body, he gave her his sincerity again, but she still refused to take a good look.

What does she want? She wants to have a couple for the rest of her life, but he can't give it to her, and there is no point in discussing it anymore.

"I want to be free, if Master Hou really cherishes me, it's better to let me go." Ye Jinyu looked at his eyes seriously, feeling his suppressed anger and shock, she knew that he would not let her go easily, the women who entered the Hou Mansion were only the people he wanted to let go, but there were no people who wanted him to let go. Qi Yan reads

It's just that she doesn't want to discuss the previous topic anymore, even if Hou Ye doesn't agree, when her parents' affairs are understood, she has to find a way to leave.

"That's it!" Li Sui's anger rolled around his chest again and again, until it slowly dissipated on its own, and he was sure that he would not lose control, and then he allowed himself to speak: "These things will be discussed later, don't disturb the interest of swimming in the lake." ”

It's already messed up! Ye Jinyu couldn't help but complain in her heart, she wanted to cry without tears, she didn't look forward to the surprise of swimming in the lake at all, she just felt embarrassed and sad in her heart.

When they didn't make it clear before, she could still secretly hold on to a little expectation that Hou Ye could only take a scoop of her three thousand weak water.

But now she has clearly known that even if Hou Ye is willing to do this, there is still an imperial order between them, and if she wants to forcibly cross over, she has to exchange her life. She didn't think she liked the other party enough to give up her life for him, and so did the other party, so now she was going to die completely.

Her first love is about to fall like this, but she doesn't even have some good memories left, can she not be sad or regretful?

also has Hou Ye's negative attitude, he won't think that as long as he detains her by his side, she will obey him sooner or later. That's impossible, it's impossible to die.

There is a lake in the west of the city, one end extends to the outside of the city, and the other end runs through the main street of Nanshi, the name of this lake is called Xuannan Lake, which is a combination of the names of these two places, which is easy to understand.

Ye Jinyu boarded a delicate painting boat with Li Sui, although the painting boat was small, but the five interior facilities were quite elegant and high-end, she and Hou Ye entered the cabin, except for the boatman on the outer deck, there were only larks and two plainclothes guards.

But Ye Jinyu knew that this was only superficial, how many guards were secretly followed, and there was no need to think about it, at least he could deal with an assassination operation.

The windows of the painting boat are open, and Ye Jinyu sits at the window, looking at the sparkling lake in the sun, and the large and small painting boats are dotted among them, like flowers blooming on the lake. The sound of silk and bamboo came from the painting boats in all directions, faintly, and it did not make people feel noisy.

With the movement of the painting boat, Ye Jinyu saw clearly a painting boat not far away, twice as big as their one, and on the deck were a group of girls with fluttering clothes, spinning lightly in the sound of drums, like water fairies, very eye-catching.

Ye Jinyu was fascinated by it, and from time to time she would applaud with the spectators on the painting boat, and Li Sui called her a few times, but she didn't respond.

Li Sui smiled helplessly and dotingly, and put the dim sum back again. Waiting for their painting boat to go away and not see the scene on the other painting boat, Ye Jinyu turned around unsatisfied.

"Like to dance?" Li Sui moved the snack to her hand again.

Ye Jinyu glanced down, it was crystal cake, a snack she liked to eat recently. There was a layer of warmth in my heart, but I hesitated, but I didn't take it.

It seemed that as long as she ate this, the determination she had just made in the carriage would be vanished by a piece of pastry.

She took two sips of water with a teacup in her hand, pretending to joke casually, "I don't like to dance by myself, but I like to watch others dance, they dance very beautifully." ”

Li Yi glanced at the untouched crystal cake, and the lost emotions flashed in his eyes, without letting the person on the other side notice.

"When Ben Hou can return to Beijing in the future, he will take you into the palace to open your eyes when he has the opportunity, and the singing and dancing party of Yunshao Mansion is famous all over the world."

Ye Jinyu held the teacup in her hand, the smooth porcelain glaze groped her palm, there was a hint of itching, but when it was conveyed to her heart, it turned into resistance. How could she not hear the temptation in Hou Ye's words, if she agreed, she would not only agree to this agreement, but also his proposal in the carriage.

"I heard that the rules in the palace are strict and cumbersome, and if you make a mistake, you will worry about your life, so I still don't ask for trouble." Ye Jinyu smiled self-deprecatingly, and then turned his head to look out the window after speaking.

The lake in front of us is getting narrower and narrower, and the willows on both sides of the shore are hanging low, and the houses are scattered and the flow of people is shuttling.

Li Yi's eyes darkened, but there was not much loss in his heart, he had expected her to have such an attitude. But it doesn't matter, the days will be long in the future, and he doesn't believe that he can't impress her.

Ye Jinyu looked at the backward scenery on the shore, this direction and this distance, is it going to Nanshi?

"Wait until you cross the stone bridge in front of you, and you look to the left." Li Yi seemed to see her doubts, and suddenly reminded her.

Ye Jinyu's face was still facing the window, as if he hadn't heard his reminder, but it didn't take long for her to nod her head slightly.

Their painting boat was only one floor, not too high, and it crossed smoothly under the stone bridge. Ye Jinyu remembered Hou Ye's reminder, and just got out of the stone bridge, he moved to the window on the left and looked at the rows of two-story attics on the shore.

There are all kinds of shops lined up in turn, there are several steps near the lake, scattered people stand on the steps, some people are watching the scenery in the lake, some people are sitting by the lake and busy, and some people stay for a short time to rest, everywhere is full of life.

Ye Jinyu didn't see any surprises, thinking to himself that Hou Ye pulled her out to experience the living atmosphere of ordinary people?

"Do you see that small vermilion lacquer building?" I don't know when Li Yi also sat over.

Ye Jinyu straightened her back, pretending not to care where the other party was sitting, the painting boat walked very slowly, as if it was just moving slowly with the current, and her eyes quickly fixed on an attic, "Is it that Sheng's cloth house?" ”

"Yes!"

Ye Jinyu observed for a while, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with this cloth village?" Looks like business isn't bad. ”

Li Yi looked up and said, "You look upstairs." ”
