Shen Qingqing continued playing atop the wall, paying no attention whatsoever to Little Ye Yubei below. Little Ye Yubei had never been ignored like this before. He would remember this woman.
Just as he was about to leave, Shen Qingqing suddenly screamed from atop the wall, then plummeted downward. Ye Yubei tried to catch her.
But he was an incorporeal presence now, and could only watch helplessly as Little Ye Yubei caught her in his arms.
Ye Yubei trembled with rage. Getting jealous of himself-the Northern Emperor really was something else.
"Are you all right?"
Shen Qingqing had her arms around the young man's neck. Her cheeks instantly flushed, and she climbed down from Little Ye Yubei's arms. "I'm fine. Thank you."
"You're one of the Court Ladies admitted this time, aren't you?"

Little Ye Yubei's tone was icy. "Hugging another man behind His Majesty's back-what sort of behavior is that?"
Shen Qingqing stammered, "I... I didn't do it on purpose. You were the one who insisted on catching me. If His Majesty finds out, he'll definitely have both our heads chopped off. Don't think you'll get away either."
Little Ye Yubei: "...!!"

He certainly remembered this Court Lady now.
"I won't tell anyone about this. Behave yourself from now on, and don't climb walls again. What if you fall and die?"
Watching his own arrogant attitude, Ye Yubei wanted to march over and slap
