Qingyun put down the tea cup in her hand and raised her hand. Xia Chan appeared, took the teapot away, and replaced it with a new pot of tea.

"Gu Shangshu, you are one of the few people who likes to drink scented tea."

"I'm used to it. I didn't like drinking it before." Gu Mingrui looked at the tea in his hand and chuckled.

"Scented tea is sweet and greasy. Does Gu Shangshu plan to drink scented tea for the rest of his life?".

A new teapot was brought over, with only plain water in it. Qingyun added some different dried flowers into it, and the sweet floral fragrance gradually spread.

"It has become a habit, so what if you drink it for a lifetime?" Gu Mingrui tightened the tea cup in his hand.

Qingyun stood up and picked up the kettle. Signing for him to get new tea.

Gu Mingrui drank all the tea in his hand and pushed the tea cup in front of Qingyun.

Qingyun laughed and poured the tea slowly, the heat rising along the water line.

"Since it's already cold, just pour it. Why do you have to drink it?"

"It's just a cup of tea, it's not good to waste it."

"Gu Shangshu really has diligence and frugality engraved in his bones."

"It's been like this since I was young, and it can't be changed."

Qingyun curled her lips, "I, the princess, love this scented tea very much. It's sweet and delicious. But there are times when I get tired of drinking it. It's not as good as Gu Shangshu's love, which I have to drink for a lifetime."

"The princess is joking, how can I compare with you? You have been drinking this scented tea for a lot longer than me. Compared with your understanding of scented tea, I can be said to be a layman."

Qingyun was a little curious, "Gu Shangshu really thinks so?"

Gu Mingrui was silent.

Qingyun laughed, "If Gu Shangshu thinks so, why should he be polite to this princess?"

"Don't be surprised, Princess. I made a mistake."

"Gu Mingrui, you were funny when you were still teaching me a lesson. Now you have become one with the officialdom. Even when you talk to me, you have the flavor of officialdom."

Gu Mingrui tightened his grip on the teacup and lowered his head to look at the ruddy tea, not daring to look up at Qingyun.

"I was young and frivolous at the time, and I didn't know what to say. I was disrespectful to Her Majesty the Princess. I hope the Princess will not blame you."

"Gu Mingrui, you have offended me many times. Don't blame me once or twice. Do you think I am such an easy person to talk to?"

Gu Mingrui stopped talking, just lowered his head and frowned, as if he was struggling with something.

Qingyun didn't give him a chance to adjust, "Do you know the reason why Shen Lingfei entered the Ministry of Industry?"

"I know." Gu Mingrui finally raised his head, and his eyes changed slightly "to give up on his idea of ​​joining the army."

"Yes, so you should understand very well what Shen Shangshu means. Why are you so deep in the drama that you can't get out?"

Gu Mingrui took a deep breath, "But have you ever thought about it, Shen Lingfei is the legitimate son of the Shen family, he can't grow up forever. His eldest sister will get married sooner or later, how can he support the entire Shen family at that time? ?".

Qingyun was silent for a while, "But...is he willing?".

Gu Mingrui raised his head and looked straight at Qingyun, "Have you ever asked Qingxiao if he is willing?"

Qingyun's heart trembled. Yes, just like the Shen family, Qing Xiao is the only heir to the Qing family.

He entered the officialdom from Qing Xiao and protected the entire Qing family with Qing Rongxu. She had the opportunity to run wild and cause trouble in the capital, but she never asked Qing Xiao if he was willing.

If it was Shen Lingfei, she could say without hesitation that he was unwilling. But Qingxiao, she didn’t know. If there must be an answer, I don't want to.

Qingyun took a deep breath and smiled a little reluctantly, "You're right, the Shen family still needs Shen Lingfei. It's time for him to grow up at this time."

Qingyun looked out the window at the children playing and adults passing by. Suddenly laughed, "Gu Mingrui, how old is Shen Lingfei today?".

Gu Mingrui was caught off guard by the question, "This year should be twenty-eight years old, don't you know that?"

"So, he still has two years to win the championship," Qingyun smiled happily.

Gu Mingrui had an ominous premonition, "Yes, but Shen Lingyu will get married this year."

"I know, Gu Mingrui, we have been discussing whether Shen Lingfei should grow up, but have we forgotten one thing?"

"whats the matter?".

"Actually, Shen Lingfei has grown up, hasn't he?".

Gu Mingrui looked at Qingyun suspiciously, not quite understanding what she meant.

"What would the former Shen Lingfei do if this happened?"

"I should have rushed into the palace and made trouble in front of His Majesty to demand someone...".

As he spoke, Gu Mingrui stopped. He understood what Qingyun meant.

Even Shen Lingfei a year ago would do what he said when faced with the current situation.

But now he doesn't. Even if there is no news for so many days, he is still silently trying to find a way to wait. He didn't make any excessive demands, and he wasn't impatient at all.

Qingyun looked at him like this and knew that Gu Mingrui understood the meaning of her words.

He smiled and said, "Gu Mingrui, we all underestimate him. Since he doesn't want to grow up, let's give him more time. I think this is the real reason why Shen Shangshu handed over Shen Lingfei to you."

"But......".

"Gu Mingrui, there is no need to drink scented tea all the time. You will get tired of it after a long time. You can try other teas, maybe you will find one you like."

"I hope so," Gu Mingrui smiled easily, looking at Qingyun's leaving figure.

What Qingyun didn't see was that after she left. Gu Mingrui slowly drank all the scented tea without leaving a drop.

The next day, in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Qingyun was changing Yan Siyuan's dressing, and the surrounding temperature continued to rise. Qingyun's face was as red as sunset, and she felt like she could hardly breathe.

She looked like she was buried in Yan Siyuan's arms. He quickly wrapped the silk fabric around Yan Siyuan.

Yan Siyuan also felt uncomfortable, Qingyun's gentle breath sprayed on his body, burning his skin. Every inch and every inch is mixed with the flavor of Qingyun.

His ears were red and hot, and he clenched his knees with his hands, resisting the impulse in his body.

He thought it would be better if he closed his eyes, but he didn't expect that his senses would become more intense after closing his eyes, eroding his sanity.

Qingyun's hands continued to speed up, and she tied the last knot. Qingyun immediately stayed away from Yan Siyuan and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Siyuan pulled the quilt next to him to cover himself, and glanced at Qingyun who was far away, with a gloomy look on his face.

"Okay, you can go to Xizhu to get the money."

Qingyun had just recovered from the ambiguous atmosphere just now, and when she heard his words, her temper suddenly rose.

"Do you really think of me as a doctor?"

"What else? Aren't you here just for the money?" Yan Siyuan lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Do you think I lack your money? If I wasn't afraid that you would die, I wouldn't have come." Qingyun crossed her arms and stared.

Yan Siyuan finally raised his head and looked at Qingyun with sharp eyes, "Are you afraid that I will die?"
