My apprentice is a little weird?

Chapter 431 Kneel down!

QQ~

There was a knock on the door, and soon there was a sound of running in the yard, and then the door creaked open a crack, and a pair of dark, bright eyes peeked out.

Zhenshu's eyes swept across Jiang Yan and subconsciously fell on Yin Li behind him. A blush flew across his cheeks and then he quickly looked away, took two steps back and opened the door.

When I entered the room, I saw Zhiwei sitting upright with a book in one hand and a cup of tea in the other, looking dignified and elegant.

When he saw Jiang Yan enter, he just glanced at him and passed by silently.

Jiang Yan ignored Zhiwei and continued to look cold and indifferent. He put down his clothes and left without saying anything.

This made Zhiwei feel like he had nowhere to vent his pent-up anger.

Before she could find any fault, she was choked back?

"How dare you, Jiang Yan, ignore this princess!"

"He came in, put down his clothes, and left without even asking if I liked them or if I needed anything else. What a fool! Don't you know how to please a woman?"

Zhiwei puffed out her cheeks, grabbed the clothes on the table and looked through them with a slightly impatient look.

I felt wronged and uneasy.

Is it because I am not good-looking or because my personality is not pleasing that makes him so cold to me?

Thinking of this, I felt a familiar red color appear in the corner of my eyes?

She subconsciously picked it up and unfolded it in front of her to take a closer look. Her eyes suddenly widened!

"This is! A woman's personal belonging?! This, this, this... could this have been bought by Jiang Yan?!"

Losing her voice, she subconsciously pressed herself against her body and gestured.

Hey, you never know until you try it on. It really fits me well and looks pretty good when I wear it.

The dark green silk thread on it outlines the peacock's spread tail, which is supported by her size, making the feathers more vivid.

"This! This scoundrel~"

Zhiwei bit her lower lip lightly, suddenly stood up and was about to chase out to question him, but for some unknown reason she put the thing in her hand away, and then went out to look for Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Yan! You, what did you buy for me?!"

Jiang Yan was racking his brains to figure out what was wrong when he suddenly heard Zhiwei Jiao's voice. He answered without paying any attention.

"Wasn't your lining a little damaged yesterday? I bought it from you today when I saw it. No need to thank me."

Zhiwei glared and put her hands on her hips.

"Thank you?! Humph! I don't need you to buy this kind of thing. And, how did you buy it... just right..."

"Oh, that's just a matter of convenience. Even if I don't touch you, just by looking at you for a long time, it's enough for me to know your size."

After saying that, Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

"Besides, with your size, do you really need me to measure it with a ruler?"

Zhiwei's pretty face flushed red and she clenched her fists. She was so angry at Jiang Yan's somewhat rogue yet calm tone that she trembled all over.

"You! You lecher, you pervert! You look tall and strong, and usually you're serious and reserved, but I never thought you'd be like this in private!"

"Me! I'm going to teach you a lesson today, you pervert!"

Zhiwei shouted in a delicate voice and clenched her fists, then took a stance on the spot, swinging her fists with a rhythmic and relaxed manner, performing a series of exciting punches like a gangster, showing off her beauty to the fullest.

Well, it's well-proportioned and round and smooth.

He just whimpered and kicked Jiang Yan!

The result is self-evident. In Jiang Yan's eyes, this can no longer be described as fancy moves, but rather as a meat bun hitting a dog, bah, it is clearly a glutinous rice ball hitting a wall.

Without even raising his head, Jiang Yan stretched out his right hand and precisely grasped her slender ankle. He suddenly exerted force with his wrist and pulled her back. With a crisp and clear move of the Azure Dragon Claw, he pulled her into his arms and subdued her fiercely!

Zhiwei screamed and fell forward, thinking that she was about to face the ground. She closed her eyes tightly and prepared herself, but in the end she fell into a warm embrace, her hands helplessly supporting Jiang Yan's chest.

The whole person looked pitiful, helpless and weak as he huddled in Jiang Yan's arms, like a cub being stared at by a tiger, shivering in the corner.

"You...what are you going to do~"

Zhiwei's voice was trembling, her tone was a little fearful but also contained a hint of expectation that she herself was not even aware of.

Jiang Yan hugged Zhiwei, and could feel the softness of the beauty in his arms, and the fragrance of orchids sprayed on his chest. His voice was crisp and shy, and at the same time, there was a bit of fear and expectation of the unknown, which added a bit of fragile temperament, making people want to destroy this beauty!

But for some reason, although this scene should have made his blood boil, he had no reaction, but things had already come to this point and the trajectory of things had developed to this point.

Everything seemed so natural, nothing unusual.

And he still couldn't detect anything unusual, he just felt vaguely that something was wrong.

So at this moment he only felt contradictory. In his cognition, everything was done according to what he wanted in his heart, and he was sure that he was right and took action for it.

Just like now.

But the mysterious feeling gave him a completely opposite answer?

It's as if... everything at this moment is fake.

"There must be a key to this... If we can find it, all problems will be solved, but it's hidden too deeply..."

Jiang Yan closed his eyes, lowered his brows, and slowly lowered his head.

Zhiwei seemed to be in a daze at the moment, motionless, like a still beauty. Her heart was pounding as she waited for Jiang Yan to come.

Five inches, three inches, one inch, close!

"With your mediocre skills, you're still over two hundred years away from being able to compete with me. Go home and have a rest~"

Zhiwei was stunned. What…what does that mean?

Then, he felt a flash before his eyes, and then he felt something solid beneath his feet. He stood still, staring in astonishment at Jiang Yan, who was carrying one hand on his back and slowly walking away...

"This……"

For a moment, Zhiwei was still in shock, her mind in a mess, not understanding what had just happened.

"Is this lady...being laughed at?"

"He actually laughed at me?! He laughed at me! Me! I was completely in his arms, like a dish, and he actually overturned the dish?"

"This is even harder than a piece of elm wood! Ahhhh! Damn Jiang Yan!"

Zhiwei stomped his feet in anger, but he couldn't do anything to the other party.

…………

Jiang Yan left in silence. He didn't dare to return to the courtyard but wandered around aimlessly.

At that moment, his cognition told him that everything was normal, but his sixth sense told him that if you dare to kiss her, you will die.

Although it was not so straightforward, the sense of crisis was so strong that Jiang Yan had to divert his attention.

"What's going on? Am I being influenced by Zhiwei? Have I been affected by this realm of seven emotions? But why don't I feel anything unusual? I feel like there's nothing wrong with me right now!"

Jiang Yan carefully reviewed everything he had experienced since entering the realm of seven emotions, racking his brain to remember every detail, not even some insignificant conversation with neighbors!

However, after doing this dozens of times, even the brain couldn't bear it and had intermittent pain, but still couldn't find any abnormalities!

This made him feel even more depressed!

"The absence of any abnormality is also an abnormality! I can vaguely remember that I encountered a crisis when I first arrived here, but now... I can't feel that kind of crisis at all..."

"So, what's the reason why I can't feel that kind of crisis anymore..."

I have no clue. Or rather, I've ignored all the clues! I can't remember them at all! Even if it's right in front of me, I'll still subconsciously ignore it...

"Horrible... simply..."

Jiang Yan's body trembled slightly. This was not physical pain, but the reflection of the trembling in his heart on his body.

"Calm down! Calm down... Fear won't solve everything. Don't lose faith even if you're imprisoned. Even the laws of nature have flaws, let alone this tiny realm of seven emotions!"

"As long as I can find the special key, I can wake up from this!"

"Wake up... wake up... Yes! Yin Li! How did she wake up? It was..."

Hope burst out in Jiang Yan's eyes, and he eagerly grasped at that glimmer of inspiration as if he was holding a life-saving rope.

"Yin Li... listened to me and stayed away from Zhiwei, not daring to get close... So how did I wake her up then?"

“It seems…it seems…?”

Jiang Yan looked bewildered again. He knew that Yin Li had been awakened by her once, but how exactly... he seemed to know, but he couldn't say it?

It's like the flower in the mirror and the moon in the water, which is within reach but out of reach.

This feeling of being able to watch from afar but not touch made Jiang Yan scratch his head! Even a little crazy!

But soon he slapped himself! The force was so strong that blood oozed from the corner of his lips.

"Calm down! Believe in yourself. Since I was able to wake up Yin Li, there's no reason for me not to prepare a way out for myself! And my sixth sense is the proof!"

"Even if I forget everything, my instinctive reaction will get me out of this predicament! Believe in yourself!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan suppressed his trembling and stabilized his body.

"wait…"

This was the result of his deduction when he first came to the realm of the seven emotions. At that time, he had only a vague understanding of it and didn't know what it was, but now he has tasted some of it.

"It's both a hope of getting out and a chance of a turnaround..."

…………

Time flows as usual, not stopping for anything or anyone.

In the evening, Jiang Yan returned to the courtyard as usual.

Yin Li, the pillow book, was nowhere to be seen, and Zhiwei was sitting alone on the steps in the hall, waiting for trial.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan subconsciously raised the corners of his lips, and his cold expression showed a bit of agitation. Before Zhiwei could open her mouth, he spoke first.

"What's this lady doing? Why are you sitting outside? It's getting dark. Are you...waiting for me?"

"Who! Who's waiting for you? I'm waiting for... for the Pillow Book! Right!"

"Who do you think you are? Is it worth it for me to wait for you?!"

"Miss, did you just call me?"

Pillow Book's little head popped out and asked curiously.

Zhiwei's expression froze and he spat secretly.

"Dead Pillow Book, you'll die if you don't break it!"

Jiang Yan shook his head slightly, walked over leisurely, lifted the hem of his skirt and sat down next to Zhiwei without saying a word. He just supported his knee with one hand and held up his chin, staring at Zhiwei straight.

Being stared at by the opposite sex with such naked eyes, Zhiwei's original intention to call for an explanation suddenly fizzled out, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

They put their legs together, lowered their heads and fiddled with their fingers, not daring to look at each other.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Haha, I just think the girl is pretty and want to take a closer look..."

Zhiwei's pretty face flushed slightly, and a few traces of joy rose in her heart, but also mixed with a little anger.

"Humph, you're so sweet now, what were you doing before?"

"I already held her in my arms...but she just walked away like a log without doing anything..."

Zhiwei didn't say the last sentence out loud, but only muttered it in her heart.

In this way, peace returned to the courtyard again.

But a subtle atmosphere gradually arose and lingered between the two of them.

Before they knew it, the distance between Zhiwei and Jiang Yan was very small, and they were almost touching each other.

Now all that’s left is for someone to break through that layer of window paper, and then everything will be accomplished.

But Zhiwei, who has always been known for her bold thinking and creative ideas, is now shy and conflicted, while Jiang Yan stares at Zhiwei with a strange look from beginning to end.

Also inaction.

After a long time, until the pillow book appeared and Yin Li called out, the two did not take any further action and returned to their rooms.

Zhiwei inevitably felt a sense of loss, and even a little regret and anger.

"Is Jiang Yan really made of wood? Even though this lady has made it so obvious, he remains indifferent?!"

"Or is it that this girl is not worthy of his attention..."

Zhiwei was uneasy because she could still feel the "emotions" coming from him, proving that he was not different from men and women in love.

But he just remained calm.

"Could it be...he is afraid of something?"

After thinking about it, Zhiwei slapped his head and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Yeah, how could I forget about this..."

"Although I have repeatedly explained to others that I was being pursued by my family because I ran away from my marriage, but with Xuanyuan Guards coming here in person, this identity can't be that simple!"

"What's more, that foolish idiot Zhenshu said something about 'Princess, get up' yesterday. Anyone with a sense of humour would immediately understand that I am the runaway princess if they just ask around!"

"So Jiang Yan is afraid of my identity, so he doesn't dare to express his feelings..."

After realizing this, Zhiwei couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"But what does it matter if I understand? Even if I tell him that I don't care about the difference in our status, Jiang Yan probably won't agree... After all, marrying a fugitive princess as a commoner is something that even an ordinary person wouldn't dare to do..."

"Ah... How wonderful it would be if I were Zhenshu... Now I'm all alone, while Zhenshu is always flirting with Jiang Yan's servant Yin Li, forgetting about me, the princess..."

Zhiwei had a worried look on his face. He looked in the direction of Jiang Yan and sighed softly.

…………

The lives of ordinary people are always the same, and have not changed for decades.

The same is true in the courtyard.

Jiang Yan still goes out every day. No one knows what he does and it seems like he is avoiding something. Zhiwei tacitly does not ask any questions and only has some contact with him when he leaves and comes back.

I spent most of the rest of the time in a daze, not knowing what I was thinking about.

Thus, two days passed.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, Zhiwei seemed to have made up her mind and got up early, which was rare. She got up when the sky was hazy and stood under the tree in the yard, with her back to the door, waiting silently.

But after a moment, the door was pushed open quietly, the movement was gentle and silent, and then Jiang Yan walked out.

He was also very worried at the moment. When he opened the door and saw the figure in the yard, he was stunned.

Zhiwei turned around gracefully, with her hands folded in front of her abdomen. She was wearing a moon-white cloud brocade long dress that Jiang Yan had personally selected. The wide sleeves hung lightly, and a beige soft silk belt was worn around her waist, which perfectly outlined her slender waist.

Her hair was tied up high, with a gilded and kingfisher-emerald phoenix hairpin inserted diagonally. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like rippling autumn water.

The whole person stared at Jiang Yan coldly, like a plum blossom in the snow, cold and noble.

"girl……"

"Your Majesty!"
