Cui Yun, Why Are You So Eager?

There was a water source nearby. It was a living spring that was clean and sweet. It made it convenient for tourists to come and go. Even vendors would come here to get water.

Zheng Qianyu remembered this very clearly! This was where she had first met Crown Prince He.

Among the group of students, He Chu was the coldest. He was wearing a thin long robe. Although it was washed until it was colorless, it looked refreshing and clean.

Zheng Qianyu was illiterate, but she craned her neck to listen to the poems from these people. She was at a loss as she listened, but she increasingly felt that He Chu's literary talent was outstanding.

Until…

"Chu He, why are you engaged to Shen Hua from the Shen family? She's famous for being unreasonable. I heard that she's so noble that she won't even walk. She travels outside in a sedan chair."

"Brother He, I advise you to reconsider. Marrying a delicate and pretentious woman like Shen Hua will reduce your lifespan by more than ten years."

Zheng Qianyu's heart was broken.

'Ahhhhhhhhh! Why is Shen Hua everywhere? She's haunting me!'

'Still…'

She put her hands on her hips. "What nonsense are you talking about? Shen Hua is indeed arrogant, but she won't restrain her husband. Pfft! She's better at slandering and spreading rumors than a village woman. I advise you to take off your student clothes and go home to the farm."

So what if Shen Hua went out to make a sedan chair?

The Shen family was wealthy. It was not a problem to buy a hundred sedan chairs. Who were they hurting?

As for walking without getting off the ground, it was her own fault. She had climbed a tree to pick dates and fell.

When Zheng Qianyu found out about this, she went out of her way came to mock her.

Shen Hua lay on the couch and stuffed a big and sweet date into her mouth. It was only because of the date that she reluctantly felt sorry for Shen Hua.

"The girl is right."

At that time, He Chu took a step forward and bowed to Zheng Qianyu. He then said to his fellow students, "Brothers, no one is perfect. Shen Hua might have some small flaws, but in my eyes, she's frank and flawless. I hope that all of you will show mercy. Those who insult her will be insulting me."

Zheng Qianyu's broken heart pieced together again.

She envied Shen Hua. She was so envious that she was about to go silly.

Now, however, the person she was envious of was Zhou Zhizhi…

Zheng Qianyu really could not understand why a good scholar would be so foolishly filial.

Or was Crown Prince He really that blind?

Shen Hua's words just now rolled in her ears. The answer to it was obvious.

Thinking of this, the feelings of the girl completely crumbled at this moment.

Even when she thought of He Chu, his body no longer emitted the brilliance of attracting the opposite sex.

Love came and went quickly.

In the end, He Chu was just an ordinary man.

She was happy to pick up things that Shen Hua did not want.

As for Zhou Zhizhi, she… found it dirty.

Shen Hua stood on her tiptoes and looked in the direction Zheng Qianyu had left. There was nothing but a white scene.

When she left the manor, it was already snowing.

Shen Hua was a little tired. After looking around, her gaze landed on the stone slab on the side of the road.

She took small steps forward and pondered for a moment. She raised her hand to brush away the thick layer of snow before sitting down. She covered her frozen palm and exhaled.

It had been three days since she went to the embroidery workshop. It was time for Steward Sun to make a move.

It had probably been a few days since Shen Qu had questioned her sternly.

There was also the matter of Shen Zhui.

Shen Hua's mind went blank. For a moment, she had a headache and felt that it was really difficult to live.

…

"Fengzhou City is right ahead. If I continue to stay with a blockhead like you, I'll go crazy sooner or later."

On the official road, the carriage was driving at a leisurely pace. Ji He was complaining non-stop, regretting that he had to come here and travel.

Cui Yun was extremely boring!!!

Their last conversation was yesterday.

"Cui Yun, you and I are already at the age of marriage. If we both like the same woman, I am willing to give her to you on account of our meager relationship in the past."

"You're magnanimous."

"Cui Yun, since that's the case, why don't we talk about our expectations for our new wives in the future? We're both men; who doesn't care about looks? I like good-looking people."

"You're right."

"Xie Jiao from the Fuguo Public House is not bad, but she's as timid as a mouse. She would cry from fear just by someone saying something harsh."

"You're correct."

"Wei Yingying, the daughter of the Minister of Works, is bold, but she's abnormally pretentious. Her behavior is hard to tolerate."

"True."

Cui Yun responded appropriately.

However, his responses were stiff and emotionless.

Sensing that something was wrong, Ji He tried something else.

"To tell you the truth, I'm a woman! I pretended to be a man for more than ten years. Ha, you didn't expect this, did you?"

Cui Yun was not surprised at all. He just followed the conversation according.

"Seventh Princess, you must have endured humiliation for many years. It has been hard on you."

!!!

'Can't you just die?!'

Ji He lay on the ground, lifted the curtain, and let the cold wind blow in. He looked like he had lost the will to live.

Cui Yun seemed to be deep in thought.

Currently, there were only three unmarried princes, the second prince, Ji Cong, the seventh prince, Ji He, and Ji Teng, who had been a hostage for several years.

Concubine Jing had two sons and a daughter. Although Ji Cong was a fool, the fourth prince, Ji Wang, who was from the same mother, was deeply loved by Emperor Ji. He was the Crown Prince's strongest threat.

Ji Cong's marriage would be decided by Concubine Jing. There would definitely be many women who wanted to marry him.

No matter how much he disliked this son of his, Emperor Qi still remembered that he was at the age where he should choose the Seventh Prince's concubine. When he invited him into the palace, he felt a chill from this and became more and more certain that Ji He was a bringer of bad luck.

His thoughts of choosing a concubine for her were also put on hold.

As for Ji Teng, there was even less of a need to talk about him. Even if he died, Emperor Qi would not even look at him.

"Stop!"

Ji He's low voice rang in the carriage.

Ji Qing, who was driving the carriage, slowly pulled the reins. The carriage gradually slowed down. Soon, the wheels sank into the snow and did not move at all.

Cui Yun's sitting posture remained unchanged, and the appearance of a young master from an aristocratic family was revealed.

Along the way, Ji He was really noisy, but he was used to it.

However, it was different this time.

He sat up straight with a swoosh.

"Cui Yun!"

"Look at that! There's a fat ferret lying there!"

Cui Wei followed the direction of his finger and saw a furry ball curled up on a stone slab on the side of the road.

Its fur was snow-white. If one did not observe carefully, it looked like it had fused with the snow.

"I remember that your archery and riding skills are outstanding. Why don't you catch this ferret and cook its meat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the creature a few feet away turn over with difficulty.

As she moved, the wooden hairpin slipped off and her black hair fell.

Shen Hua, who was dizzy and sleepy, was not bothered to pick it up.

She was afraid of the cold, so she wrapped her scarf around her pale face a few times. She did not mind suffocating, though.

Her entire body was wrapped up without revealing any skin.

She was actually a woman.

Cui Yun, "…"

"It's rumored that there are always ghosts in the forest who turn into women just to drain the blood essence of passers-by."

As he spoke, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine.

Just then, Cui Yun moved.

"Cui Yun! Why are you getting off the carriage?!"

"Humans and demons have different paths. Why are you so eager?!"
