After that, Chu Zhuo's favor for Rong Yu became more and more serious, and he even cooked for her as if she were the emperor. It was not just a whim, but he did it every day just to please Rong Yu. When the news spread outside the palace, everyone was shocked - His Majesty had fallen to this point, could it be that Master Ji was really a fox demon in reincarnation
The ministers were extremely worried, but since Rong Yuxi had not persuaded them to interfere with government affairs and persecute loyal officials, they could not find a way to do anything. Even if His Majesty was willing to pamper him to the point of lawlessness and refused to take another concubine into the harem, they were helpless.
Apart from being extremely shocked by Rong Yu's favor, Chu Zhuo did nothing wrong in other aspects. He managed the country in an orderly manner and was not blinded by beauty.
What else can the ministers say? They can only turn a blind eye.
Throughout the midwinter to early spring, Chu Zhuo stayed with Rong Yu in Yuqing Palace, not daring to let anyone go out to get some fresh air. They were not idle in the house. In addition to Chu Zhuo's necessary office hours, sometimes they would play chess or paint for a whole day, or when they were in a good mood, they would whisper and kiss, pull Rong Yu to the couch and be affectionate, full of love and inseparable.
By the time the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the ground had long been covered with snow, the chill in the air had been dispelled by the warm wind, and the palace servants had changed their winter clothes into spring ones. Chu Zhuo had someone build a swing in the yard—this was a request made by Rong Yu, and Chu Zhuo naturally fulfilled it.
The swing is tied to a peach tree, and the tree is full of blooming peach blossoms, which is a beautiful sight.
Chu Zhuo let Rong Yu sit on it, and stood behind him to push the swing, not daring to push it too high, lest Rong Yu be startled. Rong Yu was not afraid at all, if his body was not so easily broken, he could have easily rotated 360 degrees on the swing.
Pale pink petals fluttered down and were blown into the courtyard by the breeze. Under a peach tree, the emperor in black pushed the young man in red on the swing, forming a beautiful picture.
A petal fell on Rong Yu's black hair. Chu Zhuo picked it out and held it in his palm before Rong Yu: "The peach blossoms are young and lush. The peach blossoms are getting married, and they are suitable for a family. It thinks you are suitable for a family of its own."
Rong Yu's eyelids jumped: "Speak human language."
"…" Chu Zhuo realized that it was not feasible for Xiao Lianhua to play with art, so he said bluntly, "I want to marry you."
He paused, and seeing that Rong Yu didn't respond, he added cautiously: "Is it okay?"
Originally, he wanted to wait until Rong Yu recovered from her wounds before giving her the title, but the ceremony of conferring the title of queen was complicated and required several hours of exposure to the cold wind. Rong Yu would collapse easily when the wind blew, so Chu Zhuo really didn't dare to toss her around in the winter.
This delay lasted until the warm spring. It was no longer cold outside, and Chu Zhuo's wedding plan was put on the agenda again.
Rong Yu said: "You mean, marry me as queen?"
Chu Zhuo nodded: "That's what I mean."
Rong Yu refused outright: "No."
Chu Zhuo was stunned: "Why?"
They clearly have a mutual understanding.
Rong Yu glanced at the blood jade ring on Chu Zhuo's thumb and looked away calmly: "Think for yourself. I think it's good like this now."
You don’t even wear a wedding ring and you still want to get married? No way.
When Rong Yu first came to this world, he was wearing a flaming ring on his ring finger, but after seeing Chu Zhuo's empty ring finger, he immediately threw the flaming ring into the space of the blood jade bracelet.
It was Taeyang who betrayed their marriage first, unilaterally taking off the ring and announcing divorce. It is not easy to remarry.
Even if there are some hidden secrets in the timeline... He doesn't care, he just wants to survive now.
Chu Zhuo: “… ?”
No matter how hard he tried to think, he couldn't think of the ring as the problem. In this dynasty, there was no such thing as wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger, and he would not know about this outside world.
Chu Zhuo could only guess in another direction.
Maybe Little Lotus is not ready yet... After all, it is a big event for an emperor to crown a queen, and it must be announced to the world, so the pressure from public opinion must be huge.
The people of the world were not very happy with Xiao Lianhua to begin with, and they would definitely make more noise when they heard that she was going to be crowned as the queen. Chu Zhuo didn't care about these remarks, but Xiao Lianhua would definitely not like to hear them.
He had to first overcome all objections and make the harsh comments disappear so that he could protect his beloved. He hoped that Little Lotus would be with him amid the blessings of the whole country, rather than under pressure and being cursed by the people.
This needs to be considered carefully.
Of course, it is difficult to change the public impression. If I really cannot convince everyone by then... at worst, I can just give up the throne and live a carefree life like a little lotus, so as to avoid being stared at and talked about by everyone.
Chu Zhuo didn't have much ambition. He just liked to lead troops in battles before, and from now on he only liked Little Lotus. The throne of the country was in his hands, and it was not something he was reluctant to give up.
He couldn't bear to let go of what he could only tolerate.
For a moment, Chu Zhuo's mind was in a state of confusion. In fact, he was pushing Rong Yu's swing as if nothing had happened.
"Yeah, no rush, take your time." Chu Zhuo said.
"There's no need to be so slow." Rong Yu said.
Chu Zhuo's eyes lit up: "Hmm?"
Rong Yu: "You can push the swing faster."
Chu Zhuo: “…Oh.”
After dinner, Rong Yu took a walk in the yard to digest the food, then sat on the swing again: "Come on."
Chu Zhuo walked over and asked: "Do you like playing on the swing?"
"It's better than going back to the room to sleep." Rong Yu said.
Chu Zhuo laughed and was about to walk to the swing and push it, when Rong Yu said, "Sit next to me."
The swing is big enough to accommodate two people.
Chu Zhuo sat down next to him: "Want to swing together?"
Rong Yu said, "Let's go wild together."
Chu Zhuo: “?”
"Don't you think," Rong Yu turned to look at him and whispered, "sleeping on the swing is more interesting than sleeping in the house?"
Chu Zhuo's breathing stagnated and he felt like he was going crazy.
"I have sent everyone away. Now there are only you and me in the entire Yuqing Palace..." Before Rong Yu finished speaking, Chu Zhuo lowered his head and kissed him.
"Did you think of this when you proposed installing the swing?" Chu Zhuo asked him.
Rong Yu admitted very frankly: "Yes." Isn't the devil looking for excitement and novelty? He has never been conservative in this regard.
Chu Zhuo curled his lips: "It has been planned for a long time."
"I see you're happy to be fooled."
"That's true." Chu Zhuo said, "I'm very happy with it."
The swing vines swayed slightly, and the rain of flowers fell under the tree. The moonlight cast a pair of long shadows on the ground. Chu Zhuo was worried that Rong Yu would catch a cold at night, so he wrapped him up in clothes and carried him into the house to continue.
The next day, Blood Jade Bracelet protested fiercely: You guys are really getting more and more outrageous! It's fine that you suddenly put me in the confinement room on the bed, the desk, and the bathtub, but why is there mosaic on the swing too? Can't you be more specific about the occasion and time? Huh? !
Rong Yu: It’s just a swing, a small scene, no need to make a fuss.
Blood Jade Bracelet: What counts as a grand occasion? Does the Dragon Throne count
Rong Yu: Yes, this is more exciting, let’s plan it next time.
Blood Jade Bracelet:…
Blood Jade Bracelet: I found that the frequency of my entering the confinement room in this world has increased sharply. Is your broken relationship almost repaired
Rong Yu: It’s because the frequency of the previous world was extremely low.
Yan Zhao's cold temperature almost made him frigid.
The blood jade bracelet could not be refuted.
Perhaps knowing that Rongyu was tired last night, Chu Zhuo did not wake Rongyu up early in the morning before going to court today, allowing him to sleep in. Rongyu slowly got dressed and walked out to see breakfast on the desk.
Regardless of whether he eats or not, Chu Zhuo has prepared breakfast for him. He put it on the desk instead of the dining table, probably because the dining table is far away and Rong Yu may be too lazy to walk a few more steps.
Rongyu walked to the desk, sat down and slowly enjoyed his breakfast.
There were also the four treasures of the study on the table, neatly arranged. They were all arranged by Chu Zhuo himself. Chu Zhuo did not allow the palace servants to tidy up this desk, and anyone who violated the order would be killed.
Rong Yu used to practice painting, but later he realized that his hand tremors could not be eliminated by diligent practice, so he threw away his brushes and was too lazy to do useless work. What he wanted to do was to cure his hand tremors.
After that, this desk belonged to Chu Zhuo. Rong Yu didn't care what Chu Zhuo drew every day, just like he didn't care what memorials Chu Zhuo reviewed every day.
Today, however, I rarely regained interest.
Because the furnishings on this desk were not the same as what he saw last night, and there was less paint.
In other words, after he fell asleep last night, Chu Zhuo did not sleep with him, but came here to paint another picture.
What kind of willpower allows a man to not fall asleep with a beautiful woman after a night of love, but instead put on his clothes, get out of bed and paint
Is his charm not as good as painting
Rong Yu wants to find out what Chu Zhuo painted last night.
As soon as he opened the cabinet door, Rong Yu saw a large pile of scrolls. He took out the scrolls and unfolded them one by one, and found that the paintings were all of Ji Yu.
No, Chu Zhuo drew him.
Even though it is Ji Yu's appearance, his movements and expressions are all about tolerance.
The way he plays chess, drinks tea, holds a snack in his mouth, sits in front of the dressing mirror with his black hair tied up with a hairband, lies in bed in the quilt and refuses to get up, lies on the couch with his naked back and a red lotus blossoming...
Each painting is of him, signed with the time and Chu Zhuo's name.
Every time Rong Yu looked at a painting, he could remember what happened at that time.
Chu Zhuo played chess with him, Chu Zhuo made tea for him, Chu Zhuo made snacks for him, Chu Zhuo braided his hair for him, Chu Zhuo woke him up when he stayed in bed, and Chu Zhuo also drew the red lotus on his back...
These were the little details of his daily interactions with Chu Zhuo, all of which were drawn by Chu Zhuo.
But there was only him in the painting, not Chu Zhuo.
All the paintings are of him. Even if there are scenery, it is only to set off his personality.
The last painting was signed "Yesterday" and it showed a man in red sitting on a swing under a peach tree, his hair and body dotted with fallen flowers.
There is no Chu Zhuo pushing the swing behind him in the painting.
Perhaps in Chu Zhuo's eyes, he doesn't need himself, what he needs is tolerance.
Rongyu looked at it for a while, put away all the scrolls, and was about to put them back when he suddenly stopped.
He narrowed his eyes and pressed the button. A secret compartment suddenly appeared in the cabinet, containing another stack of scrolls.
It's hidden so tightly, could it be that it can't be told to anyone
Rong Yu took out the scroll and unfolded it.
The first one is a picture of him bathing.
The second picture shows him coming out of the bath.
The third one was a picture of a woman in a erotic palace lying on the bed.
The fourth picture has the same nature as above, and the location is desk.
Rongyu jumped directly to the last picture with an expressionless face.
Sure enough, the painting showed him and Chu Zhuo on the swing last night.
Blood Jade Bracelet: What is this painting about? Why do mosaics appear in front of my eyes
Rong Yu said calmly, "You are the same color as your master."
Blood Jade Bracelet: What
Rong Yu smiled, then dropped the scroll with a cold look in his eyes.
Sure, the sun.
She pretends to be so pure, but she is actually quite coquettish in private.
