On the first day of the lunar new year, when Chu Yu went to the palace to thank him, he brought back his daughter along the way.
Yan Chengqi had no daughter under his knees, and the queen mother liked to see a clever and sensible girl in front of her, so she stayed for two more days. After this trip, Zhen'er got a reward, and it took two carriages to drive him home.
On the way back to the Duke's mansion, Zhen'er brushed off a string of glazed jade bracelets from the Western Regions on his wrist, took out Chi Su from his cuff, and said, "Uncle asked me to give this handbook to Daddy."
Chu Yu put down the half-volume book in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and took the ruler. Whether he and Qin Zheng can get back together still depends on his brother's wishes. Now it's no different than before, but because of his young age, he can act recklessly, his body can't tolerate tossing. No matter how much elder brother pampers him, I'm afraid he won't let go.
Therefore, when I saw the words "For the rest of my life, do not remarry with the Qin family" written on the ruler, I was not at all surprised.
Chu Yu stared at these words for a long while, then sighed, "Don't return... marry and..."
Zhen'er's heart tightened, his body tensed up, and he frowned and said, "Daddy..."
Chu Yu came back to her senses, looked down at her daughter, and smiled suddenly. The ruler was folded and gathered in his sleeves, he stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhen'er's little head: "From now on, those words that hurt the spring and autumn can be put away, and you don't need to worry too much at a young age."
Zhen'er thought that her father was scolding her, and just about to obey obediently, she suddenly recalled, raised her head suddenly, her eyes sparkled: "Daddy! What do you mean, big daddy will be back?"
Chu Yu bent her lips, flicked between Zhen'er's eyebrows with her fingers, and said slowly, "It depends on what he wants."
Zhen'er covered her forehead and laughed out loud, thinking that Daddy might not be able to wait long ago.
…
Duke's Mansion, Study Room.
Cold sweat dripped from the corner of Qin Zheng's forehead. Originally, he had a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but now they were filled with sadness. There are deep lines between the brows, which are as heavy as a broken city on the battlefield.
That sentence of "Don't remarry" was like a heavy mountain pressing on him, crushing his body to pieces.
"Qing Ci..." Qin Zheng was extremely frustrated, but he still managed to squeeze out a sad smile.
Chu Yu glanced at it lightly, continued to copy the Buddhist scriptures, and said in a flat tone: "All things that have potential are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed in this way. Sometimes there must be something in fate, and there is no time in life. Don't force it."
Qin Zheng swayed slightly, clenched the ruler tightly with his fingertips, and said through gritted teeth, "Qing Ci, I just want to stay with you for the rest of my life, and I don't want to wrong you any more."
Chu Yu raised her eyes and said, "You don't want to wrong me?"
Qin Zheng nodded slowly, and said seriously, "No."
"Elder brother is like father, you saw it." Chu Yu pointed at the ruler.
Qin Zheng lowered his eyes, unconsciously clenched his hands, and said in silence for a long time, "I'll beg the queen."
Chu Yu shook his head and said, "Don't look at my elder brother's humble and gentle appearance. In terms of hard-heartedness, I am not as good as him."
The lines on Qin Zheng's brows deepened, and the corners of his eyes were reddened: "Then I... go and ask His Majesty for orders..."
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, sneered and said nothing.
Qin Zheng became even more frustrated. He felt that what he said was a fantasy. How could His Majesty dare to go against the Queen's wishes, unless His Majesty did not want to enter the gate of the Queen's bedroom within two months.
Chu Yu wrapped the Zihao brush in his hand around his fingertips, sighed intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "I can't marry the Qin family, but the Duke's mansion can't be left without successors. Sooner or later, my brother will make the decision, and I will welcome others. "
Qin Zheng's eyes widened suddenly.
Chu Yu tapped on the case with a pen, and said to himself: "My lord can't slack off in his duties in court. After all, I'm really young. Someone should take care of the rear house."
A pair of good peach blossom eyes turned into bull's eyes, Qin Zheng was like a child who was robbed of candy, he was so wronged beyond words.
Chu Yu tossed the brush, and thoughtfully said: "If you want to choose a wife again, you must find a virtuous and gentle one. It doesn't matter if the family background is inferior, and it doesn't matter if the appearance is inferior."
Qin Zheng couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Chu Yu's wrist, stared into his eyes, and said, "You actually want to marry a wife?"
Chu Yu nodded and said, "I want to marry."
Qin Zheng stomped anxiously: "How can you think like that?"
Chu Yu said lightly: "Why can't I think like this? Everyone wants to marry a wife, and so do I."
Qin Zheng almost held Chu Yu in his arms, as if holding him tighter, the person in front of him would not leave him: "Who do you want to marry?"
Chu Yu sneered, "It's not you anyway."
Qin Zheng was angry: "Why can't it be me?"
Chu Yu said immediately, "Do you want it to be you?"
Qin Zheng said angrily, "Why can't it be me?"
Chu Yu said without blinking, "Okay, then I will marry you."
Qin Zheng was about to say something when he choked suddenly and was dumbfounded. After a while, he let go of Chu Yu's red wrist in a daze, and said, "Qingci, what did you just say?"
Chu Yu rubbed his painful wrists, looking as if he really couldn't do anything about you: "You forced me to marry you, if that's the case, I'm going to begrudgingly..."
Qin Zheng choked and coughed again and again: "Wait, wait..."
Chu Yu hooked the corners of her lips: "What? You don't want to?"
Qin Zheng choked for a moment, then murmured for a while: "No, it's not that I don't want to..."
"That is yes." Chu Yu sighed: "My Chu family is also a family of Zhongming Dingshi, a family of hairpin tassels. I have a title, land, and good looks. Isn't the Marquis a steady profit? Such a big deal Tell you to pick it up, why would you still be reluctant?"
Qin Zheng held back for a long while, then burst out laughing, took the arrogant beauty into his arms, bit his earlobe lightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes! Why don't you want to? It's okay to marry the second master. The smoke from the old Qin family's ancestral grave is the blessing of my eight lifetimes of cultivation, Qin Zheng."
There were bits and pieces of smiles in Chu Yu's eyes, so he didn't care about the hand that slipped into his collar.
Qin Zheng hummed softly and pinched Chu Yu's waist, saying, "You little fox, you have already figured it out, and you still want to play tricks on me."
Chu Yu found a comfortable position in Qin Zheng's arms, leaned lazily, and said, "I have to listen to my brother's orders. If you really want to be with me in good faith, why bother about getting married?"
Qin Zheng's eyes were gentle, he held Chu Yu's hand, and kissed him devoutly: "I am willing."
Chu Yu was satisfied, so naturally he didn't mind such trivial things as Qin Zheng untiing his belt later.
"What kind of fate is there to never force it? Could this be what the Second Master of Chu said? I was really being teased by you." Qin Zheng pressed Chu Yu down on the desk, and stroked the back of his neck inch by inch with his fingertips. Down.
Chu Yu chuckled, no.
Qin Zheng kissed the exquisite butterfly bone: "I would like to marry and rest forever."
Chu Yu clasped Qin Zheng's hand backwards, and said, "Your Majesty promises so much, don't forget each other again."
"For the rest of my life, I dare not forget." Qin Zheng said solemnly.
The red candles were flickering, the shadows of the trees were whirling, and rustling noises came from the study.
Chu Yu panted and said in a low voice: "Presumptuous, see where this place is... um..."
Qin Zheng smiled lowly: "The study room, no wonder people often say that books have beauty, beauty, and jade..."
"Uh huh... nonsense..."
"Second master is starting to dislike the poor wife? It's so fickle..."
"You... well, take it easy..."
Qin Zheng didn't mind being hurt a bit, so he had a good time without saying a word.
