Chapter 106 Duplicity
Sheng Yunqing frowned and clenched his hands to try to break free from his grasp, but he held her even tighter.

Ye Jinchen leaned closer to her, looking at her exquisite face that he had been thinking about day and night in his mind, with affection flowing in his eyes. He raised his lips slightly, looking at her in fascination.

Sheng Yunqing glared at him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Qing'er, I survived a near-death experience on the battlefield. Now that I have a position in the court, I am capable of protecting you. I don't have to bear the pain of pushing you away anymore."

Sheng Yunqing gritted his teeth and said coldly, "But now, I want to push you away."

Ye Jinchen reached out and held her in his arms, stroking the back of her head and smelling the fragrance of her hair. A year was enough for him to figure out that she was not opposed to having intimate contact with him, and did not like him to have contact with other girls. That was because she liked him.

Only then did he understand that girls have a kind of face-saving emotion called saying one thing and thinking another.

"I miss you, Qing'er." Ye Jinchen's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't help but kiss her lips.

With just a light touch, Sheng Yunqing frowned and turned away, his face gloomy and ugly: "It's so dirty! Who knows how many girls you have kissed?"

Ye Jinchen just hugged her even tighter, his lips raised with a happy smile, and said: "Heaven and earth can bear witness, I have only kissed you."

Sheng Yunqing was almost unable to breathe due to his hug, and bit his neck in anger.

Ye Jinchen seemed unconscious, just venting his overwhelming emotions after a long separation. He hugged her and said, "Qing'er, last time you said that as long as I come back, you will tell me how you feel about me. Do you still mean it?"

He pursed his lips again and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

Sheng Yunqing opened his mouth, clenched his fists, and said, "I say, what can't be said?"

Ye Jinchen's eyes lit up, and he distanced the two of them. He held her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said, "Do you really want to tell me?"

Sheng Yunqing looked at Ye Jinchen's appearance, and Mu Jiyue's words just now floated in her ears: "In the past year, Brother Chen has never left me for a moment. In the days you don't know, I accompanied him through life and death. How can such love be compared with ordinary people? If he didn't like me, I would not appear in the capital of Zhuluo Kingdom, don't you think so?"

After thinking about it, her heart was blocked, a trace of coldness flashed across her eyes, and she said: "I hate you."

Hearing this, Ye Jinchen's body stiffened and he asked cautiously, "What?"

Sheng Yunqing broke free from his restraints, crossed his arms, raised his chin slightly, snorted coldly, and said: "In the past, now, in the future, and forever."

Ye Jinchen's heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand to touch her cheek and said, "Qing'er..."

Sheng Yunqing shook off his hand and glared at him, "I don't need your protection anymore."

After she finished speaking, she left quickly without looking back.

Before returning to the banquet, he saw the girl on the stage dancing a dance unique to Western Shu. Her graceful figure was charming and alluring.

Sheng Yunqing's eyes dimmed and he lowered his head and returned to his seat.

"Yunqing, the emperor seems to like Princess Qinxue very much." Li Zhiwan, who was sitting behind him, said worriedly.

Sheng Yunqing exhaled, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "I don't care who likes her or who hates her."

When Ye Jinchen came back, he didn't even look at the stage. He just sat down with a heavy heart and drank his wine. The girl on the stage finished her dance, and the people below applauded and praised her.

"Exotic dances are graceful and elegant, and have a unique flavor."

"Princess Qinxue is so beautiful!"

Sheng Yunqing had a cold expression and did not show much emotion. Another person who felt as upset as Sheng Yunqing was Ming Yulan.

Ming Yulan, who was sitting next to Prime Minister Ming, had red eyes. She wanted to hold back her tears, but her tears were glared back by Prime Minister Ming.

She had no choice but to lower her head, occasionally sniffing in grievance. Having Sheng Yunqing was not enough, and now there was Mu Jiyue. Her position as a concubine was probably in jeopardy...

Ye Jinfeng looked at Mu Jiyue and said, "I heard that Princess Qinxue saved Prince Ye in the Northern Frontier."

Mu Jiyue smiled sweetly: "Jiyue loves Brother Chen. If Brother Chen is in trouble, Jiyue will naturally come forward to help if she can."

Ye Jinfeng raised his lips, glanced at the silent Sheng Yunqing, then looked at Ye Jinchen and said, "Seventh brother, the girl has taken the initiative, why don't I be the matchmaker and let you and Princess Qinxue get married on a certain day, okay?"

Hearing this, Sheng Yunqing was startled. He frowned and looked at Ye Jinchen, his fingers holding the wine glass gradually tightened.

"It's okay with me." The empress dowager beside him smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Mu Jiyue glanced at the Queen Mother, lowered her head shyly, and said, "Thanks to the Emperor and the Queen Mother for their mercy."

Ye Jinchen put down the wine glass with such force that the wine in the glass splashed out, flowing across the wound on the back of his hand, but he remained calm and said in a low voice: "I don't want to."

As soon as he finished speaking, the court officials who had started discussing suddenly fell silent, and the stalemate became awkward.

Sheng Yunqing slowly loosened his fingers around the wine glass and let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

Ming Yulan's tears, which were about to flow out, were squeezed out by her eyes that were bent with laughter, which looked extremely weird.

The corners of Ye Jinfeng's lips curled up slightly. He naturally expected that Ye Jinchen would refuse, so he dared to propose such an idea. Seeing that Ye Jinchen and Sheng Yunqing were unhappy, he was happy.

If Ye Jinchen really married such a beautiful and powerful princess, he would find a noodle to hang himself with!

He stroked his beard in a pretentious manner and said, "Seventh brother, Princess Qinxue is your savior after all, how can you be so indifferent?"

Ye Jinchen looked up at him and said, "How can the grace of saving a life be linked to love?"

"It's okay, Your Majesty." Mu Jiyue smiled cheerfully, not looking angry at all, and said with a smile, "Jiyue doesn't like to force things. If Brother Chen goes against his will and marries me, I won't be happy. As long as I can watch from afar, I will be very happy. Jiyue wants to live in your country for a while, and I hope Your Majesty won't find it annoying."

"Of course, Princess Qinxue can stay as long as she wants." Ye Jinfeng sneered in his heart. Once Mu Jiyue came, he might cause chaos in the Sheng family, the Ming family, and even Prince Ye's Mansion. Wouldn't he be the one who benefits in the end?
Ming Yulan sighed inwardly, thinking that this must be a powerful character. She raised her eyes to look at Sheng Yunqing again, and saw that she was still calm and composed.

wrong.

Ming Yulan frowned slightly. Who does Ye Jinchen like now? Is her enemy Sheng Yunqing or Mu Jiyue?
