Ever since that sentence was said, Chu Zhiyao didn't know how long he had been waiting, it seemed to be a long time, and it seemed to be very short.But when she said the words, she realized that the words were not as difficult as she imagined.And the princess was not as indifferent as she thought.

At least, she knew that Ji Rufan understood and didn't reject her immediately.

If there is no rejection, does it mean that she has hope?A small flame ignited in Chu Zhiyao's heart, which was also the motivation for her to go to Beijing.Just as soon as he entered the palace gate, he was overwhelmed by the completely unfamiliar environment and strict atmosphere.

Now that she finally made it clear, she regained her original courage.In fact, it is not to force the princess to respond immediately, maybe the princess will never give her a response.But Chu Zhiyao felt that she had officially stated that she was serious and solemn about this relationship.

It is actually very rare for a person who was injured in the previous life to be willing to devote himself wholeheartedly to it again in this life.Chu Zhiyao used to be determined not to fall in love with anyone, but what he met was the famous Princess Yu, whom almost no one would not love.

And she is naturally not exempt.

Ji Rufan was in a trance for a long time. She thought about many things and had many worries.However, it is undeniable that after hearing Chu Zhiyao's words, her first reaction was not to resist and retreat, after the violent impact in her heart, a small spark actually appeared.

It was not the first time that this kind of subtle emotion had arisen. Ji Rufan had already sensed the occasional fluctuations in his heart when he was in Nancheng.But until today, it was the first time for her to think positively about her emotional changes, and for the first time to clearly hear Chu Zhiyao's thoughts.This is a feeling that the sense of ritual is higher than the actual meaning, but Ji Rufan finds it very useful.

"Chu Zhiyao, do you know what that sentence just said means?" Ji Rufan had a preliminary answer in his mind and adjusted his mood.

Chu Zhiyao's heart beat faster, but he tried his best to maintain his usual expression.She will never take back what she said, let alone deny it.

"I know very well. If the princess wants to hear it, I can repeat it again."

But Ji Rufan raised his hand to stop it, and said, "No need. I understand what you just said."

"So, what is the princess' answer?"

Chu Zhiyao seemed to be waiting for the answer to a thousand-year-old mystery to be revealed. He wanted to hold his breath, but his heart beat faster.Her back had already started to heat up and she was about to ooze sweat, but her sixth sense told her: Chu Zhiyao, if you persevere, you will get the answer you want.

Ji Rufan's soft lips were tightly closed, but Chu Zhiyao kept staring, expecting to get something that would please him from these lips.Suddenly, she heard a graceful and soft voice, but the answer was different from what she expected.

"Chu Zhiyao, I understand what you mean. I am very moved and very, very happy."

When Ji Rufan said this, he hesitated, as if he was thinking about it.

"But right now I still have a lot of important things unresolved, I..."

Ji Rufan wanted to continue talking, but fell into Chu Zhiyao's warm embrace.

Like embracing a rare treasure, although Chu Zhiyao wrapped his arms around Ji Rufan, he didn't dare to use too much force.He just got close to her and held her in his arms, conveying his own warmth and his heartbeat.

"It's okay, princess, I understand. I'm very happy that you didn't refuse me to punish me in person. I will wait for you, and I am willing to wait for you."

wait?Ji Rufan didn't know how long this word would take, because Yuan Yiheng was not as easy to deal with as Lin Yuanru.Moreover, the background of the Yuan family is also destined to involve even greater turmoil, and she is not even sure whether she and Chu Zhiyao can get out of the turmoil.

"Chu Zhiyao, are you sure you want to wait for me? Waiting for me is very dangerous, and it will take a long time." Ji Rufan's voice was calm, but only she knew what she was expecting in her heart.

Chu Zhiyao's arms did not leave, but because they were standing close to each other, the temperature between them rose rapidly.Chu Zhiyao's warmth gradually melted Ji Rufan.And Chu Zhiyao's soft words made Ji Rufan's heart more crisp.

"No matter how long, I am willing to wait. Because it is you, so I am willing."

Now that Chu Zhiyao had spoken, he no longer concealed it.Although she is not a master of love, and she doesn't know anything about romance, she knows very well what it feels like to like someone.The current feeling is the feeling of heartbeat, she really fell in love with Ji Rufan.Even though the other party was the aloof Princess Yu, she still had no choice but to fall in love with her.

"Hmm." This hmm was simply the most shy and softest Ji Rufan's hmm in her life, and even she herself felt blush.Not to mention Chu Zhiyao, his heartbeat accelerated several times after listening to it.

It was almost overflowing from his heart, and Chu Zhiyao had to open his mouth slightly to breathe in order to barely control the excitement in his heart.And the sudden light kiss on the cheek made her dizzy.

"Princess, you..."

This kiss is so fragrant and soft, and the princess is so beautiful and gentle.Chu Zhiyao twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of smiles and satisfaction.

Ji Rufan was frightened by his impulsive behavior, and quickly backed away a little, unable to believe that he kissed Chu Zhiyao's face on his own initiative.

Yuan Yiheng did not have the opportunity to meet his fiancée when he returned to Beijing this time, and the emperor never told him to enter the palace to accompany Princess Yu.This was obviously abnormal, but Yuan Yiheng followed his grandfather's advice and started with Chu Zhiyao first.However, the news of Nancheng's return made the grandfather and grandson of Zhongyuanhou's mansion feel uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, the Chu family is just a big family in Nancheng, even the richest man is nothing."

Zhong Yuanhou's body has been difficult to return to the toughness of the past, after all, he fought in the battlefield for too long when he was young, leaving too many scars.When you get old, it's time to pay off your debts.

"The Chu family, back then, the Chu family from the south of the Yangtze River ran to a place so far away in Nancheng to set up their own business, and they still became the richest man. You don't think this is a big deal"

Yuan Yiheng is different from his grandfather. When he was born, his starting point was already very high, so to him, no matter how capable the Chu family is, they are just businessmen.It can't be compared with those prominent families or royal relatives he came into contact with since he was a child.

But Zhong Yuanhou has climbed all the way, and the older he is, the more experience he has, the more he will look at problems comprehensively.After what he said, Yuan Yiheng really changed his view of the Chu family.

"Grandpa, even though the members of the Chu family are capable, after all, they are only doing business in the past dynasties, and I am afraid they will not be successful. The emperor always pays attention to family background, otherwise the sick son of the Song family would not be selected as a son-in-law."

"The foundation of the Song family is there. Even if Song Qimin is paralyzed in bed, the emperor is reluctant to give up easily. What's more, the kid is indeed talented, and the emperor cherishes it even more."

Yuan Yiheng made many military exploits on the battlefield, and he is a well-known young general, but as a peer, he could not avoid being compared with Song Qimin by his elders.Originally, they could be twin stars with both civil and military skills, but it's a pity that one of them was abolished.But even the abolished side is still being compared with himself, which makes Yuan Yiheng feel very uncomfortable.

"The Song family will play tricks. Every time there is something in the court, the Song family will just stand there and talk for a long time. In the end, it is not us generals who contribute."

"Yiheng."

Zhong Yuanhou's voice was not loud, but his tone was quite severe.Yuan Yiheng knew that he was emotional and made a slip of the tongue.

Zhong Yuanhou paused, and then said: "Civilian officials and military generals perform their own duties. If someone from the Song family asks you for military power and replaces you to do what the general will do, you will be willing to give up what you have in your hand." Hand it over?"

Yuan Yiheng shook his head firmly without even thinking about it.

"That's fine. You have what you hold tightly in your hand, and the Song family also has it. Now another Chu family has appeared, which might disrupt the situation. You must be more careful."

Yuan Yiheng's heart tightened. Grandpa has never been a person who is easy to worry about, but why he mentioned the Chu family this time, there is always something in his words.

"Grandpa, do you know something about the Chu family? Why does a family of merchants make you care so much?"

Marquis Zhongyuan sighed and said, "No."

When Yuan Yiheng left his grandfather's room, he kept thinking about his grandfather's last expression just now.Although Grandpa didn't say anything, he always felt that the Chu family's background was not simple.After returning to the room, he immediately sent his confidants to dig deeper into the background of the Chu family's ancestors.

As for Ma Wang, he really didn't care about it for a while.He believed that even if the horse king fell into Ji Rufan's hands for a while, he would not betray him easily. After all, the deal between them was more important than the war horse.And in his hands, he also holds what Ma Wang cares about.After returning to Beijing for such a long time, the emperor did not inquire about the crime, which shows that Ma Wang has not made a breakthrough.

Song Qimin didn't plan to keep Princess Ze in the mansion for dinner, because usually when the princess came to visit him, it was just a sloppy formality, and it was rare for her to stay for a long time like today.Song Qimin looked at the sky, hesitated again and again, and asked politely, "Princess, it's getting late, why don't you go back to the palace after having dinner in the mansion."

"Okay."

Song Qimin was at a loss for words, but Princess Ze agreed without even thinking about it.He had no choice but to give Xiaoshun a quick wink and let the kitchen prepare. After all, Princess Ze stayed to eat, and she absolutely couldn't eat the same meager diet as a sick person like herself.

"Song Qimin, if you don't give me a clear answer today, I won't just want to eat here."

Song Qimin raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Is the princess still planning to stay overnight?"

Ji Rusu knew that Song Qimin was deliberately teasing her, so she was too embarrassed to answer.She just wanted to make Song Qimin unable to succeed, so she nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I want to stay here."

Song Qimin blushed instantly, and even the water he just drank was about to be choked out.

Looking at his distressed appearance, Ji Rusu couldn't help being a little funny, but he still got up and patted his back for relief.

"Isn't it just staying for a meal? Why are you so nervous and excited?"

Ji Rufan said so, but he was puzzled in his heart: Staying overnight was just a joke, why Song Qimin was more casual than her.

His face was flushed, and he finally slowed down.Song Qimin took another sip of water before he said leisurely: "If the princess stays here, I'm afraid it will cost Qimin's life."

"Song Qimin, I'm your fiancée, what's the problem staying with you?" Ji Rusu was really angry when he said that.

"Okay, I agree to your request." Song Qimin raised his hand and stopped the topic.
