The sparse shadows sway, the moonlight floats, and it is as bright as water, falling on the earth surrounded by twilight.
There is a faint fragrance floating, and the path in the secluded garden passes through the flowers, disturbing the moonlight and sleeping flowers. In the silence, only the sound of hurried footsteps and the rustling of expensive clothing materials can be heard.
The next moment, someone stepped out from the end of the corridor.
The moonlight is not as good as the person's face, the starry sky is not as good as the person's bright eyes, and the sea of flowers everywhere is not as beautiful as the person's dimples. The sleeves of the clothes are fluttering, carrying a wisp of musk orchid fragrance, following the swift steps of the flowing clouds, the ring around the waist makes a crisp sound, and the Shu embroidery on the robe reveals delicate patterns under the moonlight. When you get closer, you can see that his complexion and demeanor are absolutely perfect, like a jade carved with incense, his skin is like a spring plum blossoming in snow, his face is like an autumn chrysanthemum covered with frost, his body is like a pine growing in an empty valley, and his color is like a rosy glow reflecting a Chengtang.
Like a crow's ink hair moving along with it, it seems to have a touch of orchid, making it even more thrilling and handsome in the night. He should be a person who is as unpredictable as a fairy, but at this moment his whole body is as cold as frost, his brows are frowned, and his thin lips are tightly pursed, revealing a bit of anxiety.
In just a few moments, Chu Yu had already walked to Qiongxiang Garden and opened the door to enter.
The curtain made of jade shells was brushed aside, Chu Yu first untied the luxurious robe stained with late night autumn dew without saying a word, and then hurried inside. As soon as he walked around a red fish playing with lotus jade screen, he heard movement from the bed inside.
"Zhener!" Chu Yu blurted out softly, and subconsciously opened her arms to hold Xiao Tuanzi, who had just gotten up from the bed and rushed towards her, securely in her arms.
"Daddy..." The lovely doll in his arms was only four years old, and his voice was soft and tender, but at this time he was weak and weak due to his illness and high fever.
Chu Yu looked at her daughter who was blushing due to cold syndrome with distress: "Why is Zhen'er uncomfortable?"
Zhen'er clung to Chu Yu's neck with her small arms, her face pressed against her father's chest, and she didn't speak.
The nurses, maids and servants next to her knelt down hurriedly, and Biyu, the eldest maid in the room, hurriedly confessed: "Second master, the girl said she was a little tired after eating at noon, so I will wait for the girl to sleep, who knows that at night I felt a little uncomfortable. Just now, I had sent someone to hand over a sign to the imperial doctor. The imperial doctor said that the weather was suddenly cold, and I felt a little cold inadvertently, which made me feel hot. But the girl refused to take the medicine for a long time, which made the steward The second master Xun came back to persuade the girl, and the servants are willing to accept the punishment for disturbing the second master's busy work."
Ever since Chu Yu married into the Hou's mansion, he had obtained such a daughter, and he doted on her like a pearl like a jade. Although he felt sorry for his daughter's sick appearance, he was not the kind to vent his anger to others indiscriminately. master. Besides, the maids and servants in his daughter's room were all carefully selected and trained by him, and they were all shrewd, meticulous, loyal and reliable people.
The girl was sick, and no one in the room pushed back and forth to pass the responsibility to others. Whether it was to hand over the sign to ask for the imperial doctor immediately or to send someone to find him back, they were all done in an orderly and remarkable way, which was enough to show the seriousness of the family.
"Nothing is more important than being true. You all know that it is right to seek me back immediately." Chu Yu did not scold the servants, but just took warm medicine from the carved tray in the maid's hand.
The small sapphire bowl warmed the jade spoon, and the black concoction did not seem so bitter. Chu Yu changed his posture, let his daughter sit in his arms, and personally blew the decoction in the spoon to cool, and put it on his lips again. While carefully testing the temperature, he fed it to Zhen'er.
Zhen'er's beautiful, watery eyes turned a little red: "Daddy..."
The coldness on Chu Yu's brows melted away completely, and the eyes of Second Master Chu, who was so powerful in Beijing, were filled with tenderness, and his tone was as soft as a melting red candle, with a light and gorgeous color and temperature: "Good boy!" , listen to daddy's advice and drink the medicine, after drinking the medicine, I really won't feel bad."
The daughter who was always obedient was very stubborn today, she refused to open her mouth no matter what, and looked at her father aggrievedly with her soft, waxy and pink face.
When Zhen'er was born, Chu Yu suffered a lot. She loved her daughter so much that she didn't know what to do. How could she see her daughter's pitiful appearance? Any father will be found for you."
After hearing this, Zhen'er's wet eyes turned red, and her pink lips loosened: "Zhen'er hasn't seen Big Daddy for a long time... Zhen'er misses Big Daddy..."
Chu Yu choked, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he was sore and writhing indescribably, but he didn't show it on his face, and gently stroked his daughter's little head: "Okay, as long as you are really obedient and take the medicine, Daddy Get big daddy."
Coaxed her daughter to drink the medicine, and then stuffed the little guy into the bed. The little girl who was still listless just now seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, excitedly opened a pair of big flickering eyes, and tugged at Chu Yu's sleeves Said: "When Daddy comes back, Zhen'er will tell him that I have memorized all the thousand-character prose in the past two days, and even my husband praised me for being amazing."
Chu Yu tucked in the quilt, and put her palms on her daughter's forehead: "Of course, we are really the smartest girls, and no one else can compare." A father sees that his daughter is good everywhere.
Perhaps because of the effect of the medicine, Zhen'er couldn't hold it anymore, his eyelids gradually closed, and he was still muttering: "Daddy...doesn't Daddy like Zhen'er..."
Chu Yu's hand that patted her daughter to sleep was stiff, and her tone was as gentle as usual: "Why, Daddy loves Zhen'er the most. Daddy has been too busy recently, so he has no time to see Zhen'er. Zhen'er sleeps first Well... When you wake up, Big Daddy will be by Zhen'er's side..."
The candle light flickered, reflecting Chu Yu's figure flickering on and off...
He didn't get up until he heard his daughter's long and steady breathing, and turned to walk outside.
The night was getting dark, the autumn dew was heavy, and the wind was quite chilly. Chu Yu was only wearing unlined clothing, and her body was slightly shivering.
The steward held up his robe and came out: "Second Lord..."
Chu Yu took the robe with one hand and put it on, raised his eyebrows a little coldly, and smiled coldly at the corners of his lips: "Send someone to prepare the carriage."
The steward was startled: "It's so late, the second master still wants to go out?"
Chu Yu didn't turn her head back: "Since I have agreed to the truth, I will always invite our Lord Hou, who is 'everyday', to come back..."
The light and fluffy words made the chief manager tremble uncontrollably. The murderous intent on Chu Erye's body was particularly terrifying in the moonlight. There was not even half of the tenderness on his beautiful face that he faced his daughter just now. .
And this hostility was aimed at no one else, but his daughter's other father, his husband, Qin Zheng, the young master of the Zhenbeihou Mansion.
Where can I find Lord Qin Xiaohou? You can find it in Flower Street and Willow Lane.
