Chapter 125 Xiu Yu's Little Thoughts: Love Hidden in the Plaque

"Yu'er..." Xuanye walked over to Xiuyu with his hands behind his back, looking her up and down: "Are you really a carpenter?"

Xiu Yu raised her eyebrows slightly, but her hands didn't stop moving. "A carpenter is a craftsman. Why do you think Yu'er can't be a craftsman?"

Xuanye simply sat down to chat about his robes, looking up at Xiu Yu slightly and complimenting her, "You are the most accomplished craftsman in the world. Western things are as transparent as glass in your hands. You can take them apart and put them back together. Even I, your third brother, would be in awe of you. I wish I could become your disciple, let alone this plaque."

Xiu Yu looked at Xuan Ye's fiery gaze, her lips curved slightly, and she increased the pressure on her hands while saying, "Your Majesty, please get up and sit on the chair. If you get sick later, it won't be Yu Er's fault."

"How could I be so spoiled." Xuanye didn't care: "It's rare that I sent away those ministers so early, it's rare that there are such beautiful scenery around, and it's even rarer that you are by my side, and you are dressed up..." Xuanye stopped talking for a moment, but his eyes were still looking at Xiu Yu, full of affection.

"How are you dressed?" Xiu Yu finally stopped what she was doing and glanced at Xuanye.

Xuanye said in a clear voice: "You are dressed so uniquely, so beautifully."

Xiu Yu did not comment. She was dressed very differently today. Her long hair was not tied up like usual. She just tied the hair on both sides on the top of her head and pinned it with a hairpin. The rest of her hair was scattered behind her, giving her a look of a girl who had not yet married.

"Not serious again. It's a good thing the children are not here."

"It doesn't matter if they're here." Xuanye looked at Xiuyu deeply for a moment, then stood up and walked behind her. He stretched out his arms, gently clasped hers with his own, and whispered to her ear, "Since they're not here, I don't have to worry about the emperor's dignity. It's fine for you and me to work on the plaque together."

Xiu Yu blushed until her ears were red, and she whispered, "In carpentry, a slight mistake can lead to a huge loss. Please stop making trouble."

Xuanye inadvertently glanced at the unfinished plaque and saw a small uneven patch in the lower right corner, probably a few small characters. He couldn't see it clearly, so he bent down.

Xiu Yu's movements were faster than Xuan Ye's. She turned around immediately, stood in front of Xuan Ye, and said, "It's not done yet. There's nothing worth your close inspection."

"Yu'er." Xuanye looked into Xiu Yu's eyes, his lips slightly curved: "Do you know what 'there is no silver here' means? Could it be that there are still some secrets hidden between you and me?" He grasped Xiu Yu's wrist, and finally leaned over to look at the small words engraved on the lower right corner.

On the left was a Ye, on the right was a Yu, and in the middle was a heart. Xuanye's thin lips pressed together, curling up again and again. His gaze gradually grew fiery. He straightened up, looking closely at Xiuyu, whose face was already blushing, and wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

"When this plaque is finished, you won't be able to see these small words. Don't you want to show it to me? Don't you want me to know?"

Xiu Yu looked back into Xuanye's eyes and said softly, "Whether you know it or not, it's all there. I know."

"But I want to know too." Xuanye held Xiuyu tightly in his arms. "There are many things you are embarrassed to say, but you have done them all. I remember every bit of it in my heart. I will never forget it in this life or in eternity. Xuanye will always love Yu'er, I swear."
