The sun is rising.
The pavilions and towers on the waterside are covered in golden clouds and are magnificent.
Hua Gu bathed in the golden morning glow and stood at the railing for a while. When she was about to leave, she suddenly heard voices in the house.
Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er got up.
The two of them slept for only half an hour.
Since they were in the palace and there were other people waiting for them, the two of them naturally felt embarrassed to sleep any longer.
Put on the wedding gown and comb your hair simply.
"Squeak..."
Luo Qingzhou opened the door.
Outside the door, Hua Gu, a girl in a bright red dress with pink skin, was holding a basin of hot water and waiting with her head lowered. When she saw him open the door, she bowed and said, "Sir, Hua Gu will help you and your wife wash up."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled, then he reached out to take the basin and said, "Thank you, we can do it ourselves."
After saying that, he brought the basin in.
After they finished washing up and came out, Hua Gu was still standing in the corridor with her head down.
Miss Qin Er glanced at her, walked up to her, stretched out her hand and held hers, and said softly: "Miss Huagu, Brother Qingzhou told me last night, don't worry, I have no objection. However, I still need to go back and tell the others."
Hua Gu trembled when he heard this, and slowly raised his head, staring at her in a daze.
"Let's go, second brother and the others are still waiting."
Luo Qingzhou took Miss Qin Er and left quickly.
Hua Gu looked at the backs of the two people and stood there in a daze for a long time before she reacted. A smile as brilliant as the morning glow suddenly appeared on her face.
She entered the room and walked over to the bed.
The bed was neatly laid out, and the flower petals in front of it were unchanged.
The white cloth draped over the head of the bed was still lying there motionless, still snow-white and dust-free, without any trace of any kind.
"Sure enough, her body is too weak..."
She suddenly thought of herself, and suddenly felt a sense of closeness and kinship with that weak and kind girl.
Luo Qingzhou took Miss Qin Er to the palace in front.
Qin Wenzhen and Qin Chuan had already gotten up and were waiting outside the palace.
Xia Chan was also standing not far away, in a daze.
When Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er appeared together, all three of them were stunned.
Qin Chuan came up to him with a look of surprise on his face: "Wei Mo, why are you here too? When did you come? Who brought you here?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "I came last night. The princess sent someone to take me to the palace."
"last night?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Where did you rest last night? You..."
“Ahem!”
Qin Wenzheng coughed, interrupted him, and said, "Let's go and say goodbye to His Highness. We should go back."
Several people entered the palace together.
Qin Weimo walked to Xia Chan's side, reached out and held her little hand, and smiled softly: "Chanchan, look, I'm not afraid of you anymore."
Xia Chan's hands trembled and her body tensed. After seeing that she really stopped coughing, she lowered her head and gradually relaxed.
Nangong Huoyue had already gotten up and was reading in the study. When she heard Yuewu's report, she immediately stood up and went to the door to greet him. She directly held Luo Qingzhou's wrist and said gratefully, "Sir, I didn't sleep all night last night. I kept thinking about what you said. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that you were really an immortal who had been banished to the mortal world. You are unfathomable. You could actually think of those things..."
"Your Highness."
Luo Qingzhou interrupted her and said, "Please think about it carefully and think twice before you act. For now, it's OK for only the two of us to know what we said last night."
Nangong Huoyue paused, released his wrist, and nodded, "I will definitely keep this in mind."
Luo Qingzhou bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave."
Nangong Huoyue looked at him reluctantly, then looked at the bride in wedding gown behind him, nodded slightly and said: "Sir, you just got married yesterday. According to the rules, you have to serve tea to your father-in-law and mother-in-law today, so I won't waste your time."
The group said goodbye and left.
Nangong Huoyue looked at his back, with a complicated light in her eyes.
Yuewu rode on horseback, accompanied by guards, and sent them directly back to the Qin Mansion.
Everyone in the Qin family stayed awake all night last night.
Nangong Xueyi also stayed here last night and waited with them.
When everyone in the Qin family saw Qin Wenzhen and his companions return safely, they cried for joy.
A group of people gathered in the hall.
Qin Chuan's face was full of excitement, and he vividly recounted the incident of the eldest princess' sudden and domineering appearance at the dangerous moment last night.
Everyone was extremely excited when they heard this.
"The princess is so powerful that she doesn't even take the Royal Guard seriously."
"It's not just the Jinyiwei. When Luo Changtian saw the princess, she shot him and sent him flying. He didn't dare to say a word. When His Majesty came, Luo Changtian was ready to complain. But, haha, he was slapped hard by His Majesty. Even His Majesty smiled at the princess."
"Oh, and there's our Qing Zhou. The princess is really good to Qing Zhou. She even held Qing Zhou's hand in front of so many people and waited for him to leave..."
When Song Ruyue heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows and asked, "Holding hands?"
The others were also surprised.
Qin Wenzheng immediately said with a sullen face, "What nonsense are you talking about? The princess was holding Qingzhou's wrist to show her appreciation and closeness to him. Since ancient times, wise kings, generals, famous ministers, and even monarchs who were eager to seek talents have all behaved in this way."
Luo Qingzhou immediately said, "My father-in-law is right. It is recorded in the books that the four gentlemen of the nine kingdoms and the founding emperors later all did this in order to win over talented people and make them serve them wholeheartedly."
Song Ruyue's burning gaze finally shifted away from him.
Qin Chuan didn't dare to say anything more.
Miss Qin Er looked around and asked, "Where's Sister Meijiao?"
Nangong Xueyi said, "Mei Jiao is sleeping in your room. She didn't sleep last night. She came to inform you this morning that you had nothing to do in the palace, so she went to sleep with you."
Song Ruyue said with gratitude: "Fortunately, Meijiao is a smart kid. After you were captured, she immediately went to the palace to inform the princess. Otherwise, hey..."
Bai Ling said at the side: "It was the son-in-law who asked the princess to notify him."
Everyone looked at her.
Bai Ling said crisply, "I was standing next to the princess at the time. When the son-in-law was captured, he passed by the princess and whispered to her. I heard it."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and immediately said, "I did say that, but if Princess Meijiao hadn't notified her in time, the princess wouldn't have arrived so quickly."
Song Ruyue said: "When Meijiao gets up, I will cook for her myself and prepare a table of delicious food."
The few of them talked for a while.
Luo Qingzhou said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, is it time to serve tea?"
When Song Ruyue heard this, she was about to sit down when Qin Wenzheng waved his hand and said, "No need, you guys should go back and rest. Forget about these red tapes, just spend time with Weimo. Everyone should be tired, so go back."
Although Song Ruyue was somewhat reluctant, she thought about what happened last night and how everyone must be sleepy and tired after not sleeping all night, so she could only say, "Well, let's all go and rest. There's nothing to do today, so take a day off."
The maids dispersed immediately.
The others also dispersed one by one.
Luo Qingzhou supported Miss Qin Er and was about to leave when Song Ruyue called them, "Qingzhou, Weimo, wait a moment. I have something to ask you."
Seeing this, the others immediately retreated.
Soon, only Luo Qingzhou, Miss Qin Er, and Song Ruyue were left in the hall.
Song Ruyue looked at the two of them for a while before asking, "Did you sleep together in the palace last night?"
Qin Weimo's cheeks flushed slightly, and he whispered, "Yes."
Song Ruyue's heart tightened, and she immediately asked, "Did you have your wedding night?"
Qin Weimo nodded.
Luo Qingzhou quickly explained: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I didn't touch Wei Mo."
Song Ruyue was stunned when she heard this, and frowned, "Wei Mo said that you had your wedding night, and you said that you didn't touch her. Who of you is telling the truth?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Second Miss meant that if we slept together, it should be considered as the bridal chamber. But Second Miss is weak, so I didn't touch her."
Song Ruyue looked at her daughter and said, "Is that so?"
Qin Weimo lowered his head and said, "Well, Brother Qingzhou didn't touch Weimo."
Song Ruyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but with some regret, she sighed and said, "Qingzhou, it's not that mother-in-law doesn't allow you to touch Wei Mo. Wei Mo's condition has just stabilized, and no one knows if she will suddenly flare up again. If you...if you cause her condition again, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "Qingzhou knows."
Song Ruyue looked at him with relief and said, "Qingzhou is sensible. You can hold back. Mother-in-law is very grateful to you. But don't worry, you can choose any maid in the mansion. If you need one, just tell mother-in-law. If you are embarrassed to tell me, you can tell Weimo, she will help you arrange it."
Then he sighed again and said, "Wait for a while. When Wei Mo's condition is completely stable, you can be affectionate again. Qing Zhou, you are not in a hurry, right?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said, "No hurry."
Song Ruyue nodded and wanted to chat for a few more words when Miss Qin Er immediately said, "Mother, you should go back and rest. We should go back too."
Song Ruyue yawned and said, "Go ahead."
Luo Qingzhou felt relieved and immediately helped Miss Qin Er to say goodbye and leave.
After leaving the hall, Qiu'er walked out of the corridor and whispered, "Miss, Princess Meijiao is sleeping in her room, but she is on the couch, not on the bed. If you want to rest, you can go to my room."
Qin Weimo said softly: "Brother Qingzhou, do you want to rest?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "You go, I have something else to do."
Qin Weimo didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and said, "Then Weimo will say that you went to study."
"Um."
Luo Qingzhou sent her back to Meixiang Garden, but did not go in, and prepared to leave directly.
Zhu Er said at the door: "Son-in-law, now that you are back, why don't you go and see your new house? It is decorated so beautifully."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Isn't the princess sleeping in there?"
Zhu Er pouted and whispered, "I was going to let the princess sleep in Qiu Er's room, but she didn't want to because it was obviously the new room of the son-in-law and the young lady..."
"Pearl."
Miss Qin Er interrupted her and said in a rare stern tone, "If Sister Meijiao hadn't gone to see the princess in time last night, my uncle and my father would have been in trouble. Don't say these things anymore."
Zhu Er quickly slapped her lips and bowed her head to admit her mistake: "Miss, I will never dare to do it again..."
Seeing this, Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but tease: "Zhu'er, next time you talk nonsense, remember to ask your son-in-law to help you block your mouth."
Zhu'er lowered her head and dared not say another word.
Miss Qin Er glanced at him and said, "Brother Qingzhou, it can be tonight."
Luo Qingzhou quickly said goodbye and said, "I'm going to study."
After walking a few steps, Miss Qin Er suddenly said, "Brother Qingzhou, go see my sister, and talk to Xia Chan and Bai Ling. They must have been very worried last night."
Luo Qingzhou agreed: "Okay."
When Miss Qin Er saw him walking away, she entered the courtyard with Qiu'er's support and said softly, "Qiu'er, get ready tonight."
Qiu Er was slightly startled, then immediately understood and asked in a low voice: "Miss, last night..."
Miss Qin sighed and said, "My son-in-law didn't dare to touch me, but... I followed your instructions and helped him with my hands. I don't know if it counts as a bridal chamber."
Qiu Er laughed softly and said, "It should be counted. After all, the son-in-law is comfortable."
Miss Qin also laughed and said, "It seems that he is indeed very comfortable."
The two of them talked in low voices and gently pushed open the door.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Meijiao had already woken up when she heard the sound and was about to come out. Seeing that there were only the two of them, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Wei Mo, where is that guy?"
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "He went to study."
Nangong Meijiao frowned and asked, "Did you have your wedding night last night?"
Miss Qin Er said, "They slept together."
Nangong Meijiao looked at her and nodded, "That guy is still a man. He is not blinded by desire. I thought you couldn't walk today."
Qiu'er quickly retreated and closed the door.
Nangong Meijiao helped Miss Qin Er sit on the couch and asked curiously, "How did you sleep last night? Tell me."
Miss Qin Er smiled and said, "We just lay together, and then... talked for a while, and then it was dawn."
"That's it?"
Nangong Meijiao was stunned for a moment, and said half-doubtfully: "That guy really didn't touch you at all? Why don't I believe it?"
Miss Qin Er said: "He did touch me. He just hugged me, stroked my hair and back, and kissed me a few times."
"Anything else?"
“No more.”
"What about you?"
"I... I touched him for a while."
"Hands on?"
"When he left, it was almost dawn, so he didn't have time to do anything."
Nangong Meijiao frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Why is it so late? Has he been staying at the Princess's place the whole time?"
Miss Qin Er said: "Well, the princess is discussing something with him."
Nangong Meijiao was silent for a while, then said, "Wei Mo, I feel like the princess's appreciation for him seems a little unusual?"
Miss Qin Er asked in confusion: "Why is it abnormal?"
Nangong Meijiao said: "Actually, I was not the one who went to inform the princess last night. The princess knew the news before I went. When I went there, I didn't see her, I only saw Yuewu. Yuewu said that the princess had already left with her people."
After hearing this, Miss Qin was slightly startled and asked, "Who notified me?"
Nangong Meijiao frowned and said, "I suspect that there are people from the princess in the mansion, keeping an eye on his every move, or someone is watching the situation in the mansion from outside. I guess when the Jinyiwei came, the news would be passed into the palace. And..."
After a pause, she continued, "With the Princess's ability, I think she should have gotten the news when the Royal Guards first received the order, but she didn't send anyone to inform us in advance. Instead, she waited until the incident happened before she went to rescue us... In this way, we will be grateful to her, and Luo Qingzhou will be devoted to her."
Miss Qin Er was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "No matter what, the princess has done us a favor."
Nangong Meijiao said: "I don't deny this. But Weimo, Luo Qingzhou is too good, everyone covets him, you better watch out."
Miss Qin Er said with a smile: "Sister Meijiao, there are so many people helping Wei Mo to watch, and there is also Sister Meijiao, what are you afraid of."
Nangong Meijiao's face froze for a moment, and she snorted, "What does it have to do with me? It has nothing to do with me."
The two chatted for a while longer, then went to lie down on the bed and continued chatting.
"Wei Mo, this is your new bed. He hasn't even slept on it yet. Isn't it not good for me to lie here?"
"It's okay, he doesn't know."
"Humph, so what if he knows? How dare he despise this princess?"
"That's right. He didn't dare to say anything even if he knew. He was just secretly happy in his heart."
"Hmm? Weimo, what do you mean?"
"Nothing. Sister Meijiao, it's so big here, can I touch it?"
"… "
When Luo Qingzhou arrived at Lingchan Moon Palace, Bailing and Xia Chan were talking in the front yard.
Bailing is asking about what happened in the palace last night.
Of course, especially about him.
When they saw him come in, they immediately shut up.
A brilliant smile immediately appeared on Bai Ling's pink face: "Congratulations to the uncle for returning home, congratulations to the uncle and the second young lady on their wedding night, I wish the uncle and the second young lady a long and happy life together, and a quick birth..."
At this point, she suddenly paused, then smiled and said, "I wish the son-in-law and the second young lady happiness forever."
Xia Chan stood aside, clenched the sword in her hand, turned around silently and went into the house.
The smile on Bailing's face gradually faded, and she whispered, "Son-in-law, you must have ignored Chanchan last night, right? Go and comfort Chanchan. She's not angry, but she must be a little sad in her heart."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and went into the house.
Another room.
The sunlight shines in through the window.
A girl in a snow-white dress stood in front of the window, staring at the morning glow in the sky, in a daze.
Suddenly, the jade in her hand moved.
After a pause, she looked down.
Senior sister, he should have gone back, right? To be honest, every time I meet him, I always feel sad, why are all the good things in the world taken away by you? I like his amazing talent, and he promised to help me. Don't worry, I will take good care of him.
The girl put away the jade and did not reply, her eyes once again looking towards the clouds in the distance.
In the palace.
The girl in a fiery red dress, holding the jade in her hand, waited for a long time, but got no reply. She snorted coldly and opened the chat history from last night.
Save him, he's been captured.
Who, your husband? If you don't tell me who it is, I won't save you.
Um
Sister, then you beg me. If you don't beg me, I won't save you.
Please
When she saw these last two words, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she finally felt a little better.
