Chapter 339 A powerful official dressed as a man 1
"Don't mention it, it's not bad that Gu Heng likes you. If you can't make it, just give in to him! If you're with him, it will be a way out for us in the future!"
Yu Yan continued to glare at Gu Heng, shaking her head inwardly to reject the system's suggestion.
"I don't want it. I've already found a golden thigh for myself. Why should I cling to him? He's moody. What if he changes his mind and kills me one day?"
"It's a double layer of protection! If the prince is deposed one day, don't you still have the thread of the powerful official in your hand? It will still ensure that your path as a powerful official will be smooth!"
"Are you sure he will make my dream come true? Do you think he's a fool? Will he watch me replace him as the powerful official he has been working for for many years?"
"Put aside your mean mind! He's not a fool, but he's a love-brained person! Just look at his love-brained look that's obsessed with you. He can't stand seeing you suffer any injustice at all, and you'll have him under your control in the future. From now on, you'll have the chance to dump him, so how can he dump you?"
"This……"
Yu Yan continued to stare at Gu Heng, and indeed saw in his eyes the full doting and admiration for her.
But the most important thing is that being with him will inevitably expose her secret as a woman. She is not sure whether Gu Heng will be so angry that he will kill her after knowing this secret!
Wouldn't that mean she would lose everything? She couldn't take that risk.
Quarter of an hour later, Yuyan and Gu Heng returned to the banquet again.
There is no doubt that Gu Heng's appeal was still blocked this time, and he also received a lot of contempt from Yu Yan.
After the two returned to their respective seats, Yuyan pretended to be indifferent and continued to drink and enjoy the dance.
She just smiled off the indirect questions from her colleagues.
When Nangong Chen saw Yuyan coming back, he thought for a moment, glanced at Gu Heng who was drinking alone, stood up and walked towards Yuyan.
But when he got to Yuyan, he didn't know what to ask or say. He could only sit beside her and drink with her in silence.
The two of them had just drunk two glasses of wine when they saw Nangong Rao walking towards them gracefully.
Nangong Rao went to Gu Heng first, but was rejected, so she turned to Yu Yan.
Seeing Yuyan's sad face at this time, Nangong Rao poured Yuyan a glass of wine and comforted him softly with a smile on her lips.
"Master Yu, don't worry too much. As long as Master Yu doesn't want to, even if Gu Heng is in a high position and has great power, he can't force you to do it! As long as Master Yu finds a beautiful woman and gets married soon, Gu Heng will naturally give up that idea."
"Thank you, Princess, for your comfort." Yuyan raised her glass and clinked it with Nangong Rao.
But I didn't take it seriously in my heart, and even complained about it.
You people are really talking without any consideration. With her status, neither men nor women are suitable for her!
As Nangong Rao finished speaking, another gloating voice came from the side.
"But seeing how in love Prime Minister Gu looks, he probably won't let go easily. Lord Yu should find a way out for himself! I think the princess is great, why don't you become her consort!"
Yun Nishang came over to join in the fun at some point. After some proposal, she raised her wine glass and clinked it with Yuyan. She looked at Yuyan and smiled as if she was bathed in spring breeze.
What I said made me want to beat her to death. She is such an annoying person. She is everywhere.
Yuyan looked at Yun Nishang with gritted teeth, but finally took the wine bottle and drank it all.
Yuyan had just finished a glass of wine when she saw Nangong Rao pouring her another glass of wine and said in a happy tone.
"Miss Yun's suggestion is very good. I also have a good impression of Lord Yu. What do you think, Lord Yu?"
Before Yuyan could say anything, Xia Yujiao, who came over to look for Nangong Rao, excitedly retorted. While scolding Yun Nishang, she hugged Nangong Rao's arm and tried to curry favor with him.
"How can he be a good match? Apart from his good looks, his family background and official position are nothing. Yun Nishang, how dare you insult Princess Renyang like this? The princess is a beautiful woman with a noble status. I think my brother is the best match for you."
“…………” Yuyan looked at the women surrounding her, stroking her forehead in silence.
Nangong Chen didn't pay any attention to them at all. He just stared blankly at Yuyan's profile with an absent-minded look on his face.
Gu Heng had been paying attention to Yu Yan all the time. Seeing more and more people gathering around Yu Yan, his eyes changed for a moment, and then he put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and walked towards Yu Yan.
Before I got close, I heard Yun Nishang and Xia Yujiao arguing.
"Xia Yujiao, what do you mean? You knew that Xia Ruofeng and I were engaged, but you still said such things. Do you intend to cancel the engagement with my family? In this case, well, I won't stop your family from marrying another princess. I will report to my father tomorrow and ask him to cancel the engagement."
"Humph, Yun Nishang, you said that, don't regret it when the time comes. Everyone knows that you have been infatuated with my brother since you were a child, and you have reached the point where you will not marry anyone else but him. Now that you have said this today, you'd better have some backbone and don't let me look down on you."
"Once I have spoken, I will not go back on my word. I will never regret it." Yun Nishang replied loudly with great backbone.
Yuyan looked at the domineering Yun Nishang, and thought of the shy and timid girl she met last time, and couldn't help feeling confused.
"Is it okay for her to do this? This is so different from the original owner's personality! Won't it ruin her character?" Why hasn't she been struck by lightning even though she has done this?
"...Well... their system may not have very high requirements for this!" The system answered ambiguously, and then began to worry about their own tasks.
"Host, don't worry about these things for now. With her around, your mission may encounter setbacks. Why don't you stay away from her?"
"It's okay. With her intelligence, I can handle her more than enough."
"........."
Do you have any errors in your self-perception? For example, are you overconfident?
Gu Heng had already walked to Yuyan's side at this time. He ignored the other people around him. He just knelt on one knee and half-knelt in front of Yuyan. His slender hand fell on her wrist which was holding the wine glass, and he spoke in a soft tone.
"It's too noisy here, come sit over there!"
As he said that, he took Yuyan's wrist and wanted to take her away.
Unexpectedly, she was rejected by Yu Yan, and she looked at Gu Heng provocatively.
"I like bustle and hustle and bustle, but Gu Xiang likes quietness. We are not the same kind of people, so Gu Xiang should just go back by himself!"
Gu Heng looked at her deeply without saying anything. He only instructed the palace maid beside him to add a low stool to the left side of Yuyan's empty seat.
Because of Gu Heng's arrival, Yun Nishang and Xia Yujiao stopped arguing, but because they each had some purposes, neither of them left.
Nangong Rao watched Gu Heng's actions, then ordered the palace maid to add another stool on the other side of the low table, and then she sat down opposite Gu Heng with peace of mind.
Yun Nishang and Xia Yujiao were not willing to be outdone, and ordered the palace maids to add a stool on each side of Nangong Rao.
In the end, the six of them sat opposite each other around a small low table. This scene attracted everyone's attention.
