crunch...

The door opened.

Xiao Yao walked out and saw Xie Yunchu in the yard. She asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Why is your face so red?

Xie Yunchu nodded, and clasped his hands with a slightly tipsy look, "Your Highness, I feel much better."

Xiao Yao smiled. Sometimes he would switch between referring to himself as subordinate or minister. He didn't know if he was tired of switching between the two.

"Where's Aunt Yirui? Tang An is not here either." She rubbed her temples and saw that there was no one else in the yard except Xie Yunchu. "I clearly heard Zhen'er's voice just now."

Xie Yunchu said nervously: "Princess Jinning said that she had something to do, so she called Eunuch Tang and Aunt Yirui away." He felt so guilty that he didn't dare to look at her.

Xiao Yao nodded, but seeing that his face was red today, something seemed amiss.

When she came over, she smelled alcohol on him, "Did you drink? You're not sick, but you're still drinking?"

"I……"

"What's wrong? Just say what you want to say." When did Xie Yunchu become so awkward, as if hesitating to speak?

He just said: "I, I'm not sick."

"Oh, I see, you've been drinking, how come you're sick?" Xiao Yao asked in a serious and accusing manner, "You're still young, so it's better to stay away from alcohol and sex."

Look, he's not speaking fluently and his hands are shaking.

This is a very drunk person.

Xie Yunchu suddenly raised his eyes, "I am not young anymore, I am only half a year younger than Your Highness, no, less than half a year..."

Seeing that he was serious, Xiao Yao smiled and thought he was drunk. "Since you are fine, go and rest."

After saying that, he turned and went into the study.

Xie Yunchu opened his mouth, and seeing that she was about to close the door, he rushed over.

Xiao Yao was stunned. She held the door with both hands and glared at Xie Yunchu who was so close to her. "What's the matter?"

"me--"

"???"

"Sister..." Xie Yunchu said, "I have something to tell you."

After saying that, I didn't even dare to look her in the eyes.

Xiao Yao laughed out loud, "So when you drink, you will become my brother Yun Chu."

She reached out and touched his face, "So good."

His face was red and he rarely smiled.

Xiao Yao said, "Okay, come in and talk." Then she turned and walked inside.

After Xie Yunchu went in, he closed the door immediately.

Every time he took a step toward Xiao Yao, his heart began beating so hard that it made it difficult for him to breathe.

Feeling a little dizzy, he covered his chest, trying to slow down his heartbeat.

"Xie Yunchu, what's wrong with you today?" Xiao Yao felt that something was wrong with him.

She turned back and raised her hand to touch his forehead. When she looked up at him, he also lowered his eyes to look at her.

"Sister, I am no longer the little tail that followed you when we were little."

Xie Yunchu suppressed his panic and excitement and spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Yao was stunned. Maybe his fever was due to drinking alcohol, not illness, or something else?

She nodded, "Well, you have grown up." Now when she looked at him, she had to look up at him.

He was a full head taller than me.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Xie Yunchu didn't know where he got the courage from, and grabbed her hand, "Sister."

"what you do?"

He put her hands on her face. "I might, might be drunk." He felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest.

"You are drunk." She pulled her hand back in a hurry. If she hadn't reacted before, she would have been stupid.

So what else could she not understand when she saw his affectionate, gentle gaze?

but……

She took two steps back, and he took two steps after her.

But they have always been just siblings, just confidants.

He chased her until she retreated to the table, with no way to retreat, and said, "Yun Chu knows that my sister wants to choose a servant for the king."

"Yes, it was arranged by the Queen Mother."

"Sister, can you choose me?"

"what?"

Xie Yunchu suddenly bent down, as if he was shorter than her, and looked up at her with eyes full of piety, "Sister, can you please choose me to be your servant?"

"You're crazy."

"I am the only one who knows who my sister likes. I can help her, even if it means I can cover up for her in the future, so that she can feel free to like that person."

Xie Yunchu put his hands on her shoulders, "Sister has loved me the most since I was a child, please love me again this time..."

"You are presumptuous!"

Xiao Yao just felt incredible, "How could you do this to me, how dare you."

"When it comes to feelings, how can you dare to do it? My sister dares to fall in love with that person. I, my sister and I are childhood sweethearts. I am only less than half a year younger than you. Why can't we do the same?"

Xiao Yao just felt her head was a little empty.

She looked at Xie Yunchu, such a handsome young man, but he had actually lost his youthfulness. The corners of his eyes were red, and he looked like a poor little thing begging for mercy.

He has been... since childhood

He has been sophisticated, calm, and spoiled since childhood, and his childhood and present self overlap.

Xiao Yao pushed his hand away, "No, we can't."

"Why not? The Emperor and the Empress asked Princess Jinning to bring us together. Can't you see that?"

Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment.

Xie Yunchu had a pleading look on his face. In front of her, he didn't want any pride, he only wanted her.

"Sister, will you choose me?" he asked.

"The relationship between you and me is that of bosom friends, like close relatives. If I hurt you in the future..."

"Then let me hurt you, sister. I am willing to do so. As long as you give me a chance, I want to stay with you. I only want you."

It suddenly occurred to her.

She treated Xie Yunchu as her closest relative, so she thought it was not feasible.

But what about Rong Xun?

When she was young, she only knew that she liked him, and she would put her uncle in front and behind every day.

Whenever she encountered a problem or wanted to do something, Uncle Rong always looked calm.

He was able to calm himself down quickly.

Day after day, apart from going to the upper study and the imperial study to pay respects to her father, the emperor and her mother, she spent the rest of her time in the Imperial Observatory accompanying Rong Xun to do his homework.

Until she grew up, when she was seventeen years old, her mother asked her what kind of husband she wanted to find.

The only figure in her mind was Rong Xun.

She has kept this secret in her heart for more than a year.

Looking at Xie Yunchu, the playmate who grew up with her, he naturally knew what she was thinking.

It's just that she never expressed it clearly, or did anything out of the ordinary...

However, Xie Yunchu still knew about it.

"Although the emperor has paved the way for my sister, you have a long way to go before you become the empress. If someone else becomes your husband, how can I feel at ease? If others know your thoughts, will they use these to discredit my sister?"

Xie Yunchu looked at her, "Sister, do you want me to kneel down and beg you?"

Xiao Yao didn't say anything.

She couldn't say anything nice.

Xie Yunchu knelt on one knee and looked up at her, "Sister, choose me to be your servant, I will do whatever you want me to do."

"Get up."

"Sister, promise me?"

Xiao Yao was extremely confused. She never expected that Xie Yunchu would use this trick. Especially when she saw how pitiful he looked, and then thought about choosing another stranger to serve the king, could she really do it?
