Dugu Yu handed the gift to the servant who was sent to inform Madam Qin, and then he involuntarily followed the person who was sent to inform Qin Qingyao and walked towards Qin Qingyao's yard.

At this time, Qin Qingyao was practicing handstand in her own yard.

Baizhi and Baiji watched from the side, and four guards were on standby at all times, fearing that she would fall and get hurt.

"Princess, you're sweating, why don't you get down?"

"Don't... don't talk to me. I don't have the energy to talk to you!"

Bai Zhi: “…”

Qi Mo, "Princess, how about I teach you boxing? Exercise should be more effective in losing weight than standing like this, right?"

Qin Qingyao said "Oh" and then nothing else happened.

Ten seconds later, "Please help me get down here!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Qin Qingyao was standing upside down on a small stool at this time, with her hands supporting the edge of the stool. No matter which hand loosened its strength first, the stool would flip over and she would fall to her death!

When they helped her up before, Baizhi and Baiji had put in a lot of effort and spent two or three days. This time, the standards were set a little higher and it took a little longer.

In fact, it only takes three sips of tea...

Baizhi and Baiji hurried over to help her, but apart from holding her legs, they didn't know what to do. The two little girls couldn't even hold the princess!

The four guards could carry him, but they didn't dare to touch him.

So, when the two maids rushed over, they could only move close to them and protect them more closely.

As a result, Qin Qingyao's arms were really weak, and she was sweating. Her left hand suddenly slipped from the edge of the small stool, and the small stool was pushed over by her right hand at the same time.

"ah……"

Baizhi and Baiji wanted to hug her but failed, so they could only use her as a cushion. The four guards did not dare to touch the princess, so they had to support the two girls. In the end, no one could hold on, and a large group of people fell down at once.

At the gate of the courtyard, "What are you doing?"

Dugu Yu's dark face appeared at the perfect time, frightening the two maids and four guards to death.

Qin Qingyao now has disheveled hair, a red face, and sweat all over his hair, looking like a madman.

And she twisted her waist!

So he fell on the two maids and couldn't get up for a long time, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe.

Dugu Yu strode over and pulled Qin Qingyao up, only to see her face twisted in pain. "What happened? Where did you fall?"

"My waist...my waist hurts!"

Qin Qingyao was now twisted with her body unable to stand straight, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't even speak. Dugu Yu put one arm around her back and with the other hand he touched her waist along with where her own hand had been.

"here?"

"Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

"Click"

"ah!!!"

At the gate of the courtyard, "What are you doing?"

Dugu Yu hadn't felt this kind of frightened feeling at someone's words for at least twenty years. Turning around, he saw his mother-in-law standing at the gate with a look of panic and anger on her face.

Qin Qingyao was in such a mess now, and she was screaming and crying in pain in his hands, as if she had been caught in a domestic violence scene!

Madam Qin walked over quickly, pulled Qin Qingyao out of Dugu Yu's arms, and asked him in a timid tone, "What are you doing?"

Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao holding her waist and grimacing, and before he had time to check whether he had pressed it for her, he looked at his mother-in-law's angry face, feeling a little anxious and a little aggrieved.

No matter how much it looked like he had domestically abused Qin Qingyao, he really didn't hit anyone...

After the pain subsided, Qin Qingyao twisted her waist and found that she was healed.

"Mom, why are you being so mean to my husband? I just twisted my waist, and my husband is helping me!"

Mrs. Qin was originally very afraid of Dugu Yu, so her roar was really very weak, and Dugu Yu was so angry that he was scared to death.

"What's wrong with your waist? What are you doing? Look at what you look like!"

After saying that, he looked at Bai Zhi and Bai Ji who were kneeling beside him and said, "You two, why don't you take the young lady to wash and dress up!"

"yes!"

The two girls carried Qin Qingyao back to the house.

Madam Qin, "Your Highness, why don't you go to the living room and rest for a while? I'll go check on lunch."

"Mother-in-law, go and do your work. Don't worry about me."

"Then please make yourself at your leisure, Your Majesty. We are all family, so don't be polite."

After saying this, Madam Qin was supported by the nanny and walked away.

Dugu Yu glared coldly at the four guards. "First day as a guard? Don't you know what a secret guard is? Did you get the word 'secret' wrong?"

Playing shuttlecock today and stacking people tomorrow, who gave you the courage?

The four knew that the prince was angry and felt that they were doomed. They had finally fought hard to join the Yanling Army and be promoted to become the prince's personal guards, but now it was all over...

"Get out!"

"yes!"

In a dark corner of the Qin Mansion, "What do you think the prince means by this?"

"Did you say get out, not get back?"

"What's the difference?"

"What a difference! Going down means stepping aside. Where are you going back to? Back to the Royal Guards or the Flame Army? You're not going back to the main camp to take those new recruits with you, are you?"

"Those four...seem to have returned to the main camp..."

Those four were the four who were previously sent to Lin Xiafeng.

"Is it too late to go to the princess and ask for mercy?"

…

This was Dugu Yu's second visit to Qin Qingyao's courtyard.

But when he came for the first time, he only walked into the inner hall and asked Qin Qingyao's name through the screen.

Now that he thought about it, the girl who said the three words "Qin Qingyao" behind the curtain for a long time without saying anything was so different from his current princess.

Dugu Yu couldn't help but smile and slowly admired Qin Qingyao's yard.

Doesn't that girl love flowers and plants? There aren't many plants in this yard. Could it be that the servants have neglected them since the young lady got married?

Dugu Yu never thought that one day he would be so bored that he would go to the yard of a girl's boudoir and look at every corner, eaves and roof tile!

The point is, he didn't feel bored at all. He was just curious about the place where Qin Qingyao had lived since childhood.

It’s fun to think that Qin Qingyao has been living in this yard since she was very young.

With her neurotic temperament, she must have made things difficult for her servants!

But I feel that it would be very interesting to take care of a young lady like this and let her grow up.

Dugu Yu saw the little girl standing on duty in the yard and asked, "How long have you been in this yard?"

"To answer your Highness, it's been almost four months."

Four months. It’s only been a few days since Qin Qingyao married him for three months. This maid just came before she got married!

After walking around the yard, Dugu Yu went into the house. There was a nanny in her forties in the house who quickly served him tea.

Dugu Yu sat on the chair he sat on when he first came here, but there was no screen next to him, so he could also see the chair that Qin Qingyao sat on.

Dugu Yu politely took the tea and took a sip. "How long has Mammy been with the princess?"

"This old servant has little luck. I was not able to serve the princess for long. I just came to this courtyard and the young lady got married within a month."

Dugu Yu: “…”

"Why? Isn't there anyone in this courtyard to take care of the princess as she grows up?"

The nanny smiled and said, "When the master and his family moved into this mansion, the third young lady was already ten years old. There were some servants who served her closely, but they later neglected their duties and broke the rules, so they all left the mansion."

"Everyone left the house? All four months ago?"

"Speaking of which, it was the day when Your Highness personally came to the mansion to ask for my name. I wanted to chase after you and talk to you more, but I accidentally fell and hurt my head."

"Then, all the maids, old women, servants, and guards in this courtyard left the house. Not a single one was left behind. The servants here now were all assigned from the courtyards of other young masters and ladies."

"After the princess married into the palace, there was no need for anyone to serve her except for daily cleaning, so it inevitably looked a bit deserted."

Dugu Yu felt a little puzzled. Just because Qin Qingyao fell, they drove away everyone in the yard?

She is not that overbearing in the palace. She fell down just now, but I didn't see her blaming anyone.

That woman had no regard for anyone, and she spent the whole day in the palace chatting and laughing with everyone, no matter what rank the maids or servants were, and she would get anyone to dig wild vegetables and play shuttlecock with her.

Why would such a person drive away all the people who had taken care of him for several years? And on the day he came to ask for his name?

Qin Qingyao changed her clothes, washed up, and simply tied her hair before coming out.

"Husband!"

"Does your waist still hurt?"

When Dugu Yu saw her come out, he stood up from the chair unconsciously, walked over and put his hand on her waist. The nanny smiled with her hand covering her mouth, and gave a look, asking the servants in the room to leave.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you, husband! Are you done with the military camp stuff?"

"Well, now that you're done, are you going home?"

"Let's have lunch here. Mom has already asked the kitchen to prepare our meal."

"good."

The two walked out hand in hand, and just a few steps out of the courtyard they met Aunt Pan.

Qin Qingyao suddenly felt unhappy.

"My humble concubine greets the prince and princess!"

"Who are you……"

"She is my father's concubine." Qin Qingyao looked at Aunt Pan, "What do you want to see me about?"

"No, no, Auntie was just passing by."

"Hey, where can I go from your yard to pass by my yard? Jump into the lake?"

Less than two minutes after meeting, Dugu Yu was absolutely certain that Qin Qingyao did not like this concubine.

Aunt Pan has evil intentions and almost ruined her. There's no way she could like him.

She appeared at the gate of her yard so stealthily. Why did it feel like she came to find Dugu Yu on purpose? What bad things did she want to do?

Qin Qingyao didn't give her any chance to perform and pulled Dugu Yu away.

At the dinner table, because Dugu Yu came and the house was full of women, it was inappropriate, so Qin Shangshu and Qin Yuefeng were called back by Mrs. Qin.

Qin Yuelu was in the palace and Qin Yuelin was in the military camp, and they could not come back.

During the meal, Qin Qingyao only had half a bowl of rice, and then she ate the dishes very reservedly, chewing each bit slowly and carefully. This was completely different from her usual appetite at home.

Could it be that she doesn't like the food here? No way, she has been eating here for so many years.

Did the Qin family change their chef?
