Chapter 136: Being a couple with you brings a lot of troubles
In the East Palace, Qiao'er had already brought back the news that Zhao Mingzhu would be returning soon.
Everyone was very happy and began to make all preparations for the Crown Princess to return home, and even replaced all the furniture in Tingchao Courtyard with new ones.
Today, Jinzhu was on patrol as usual, looking for any parts that had not been moved to their proper places, and she saw someone standing in front of the Jiaoweiqin.
"Inducing wind?"
Seeing her turn her head, her face was grim: "How many times have I told you, my name is Yinfeng."
As soon as she finished speaking, she was hit on the head with a spatula, and she put her hands on her hips:
"How can you talk to our sister Jinzhu like a phoenix? What phoenix are you talking about? If you're destined to be a sparrow, just lie still. You're always coming and going like a phoenix. If I had known earlier, I would have sent you to the palace for training. You have no regard for respect or inferiority at all."
"I repeat, whether it's Feng or Huang, you're overstepping your bounds. You've entered the Eastern Palace and haven't even changed your name. You're trying to seduce people by acting like a vixen, who are you trying to seduce?"
Su Lu has suffered a lot these days. She is angry but helpless.
She is so much nobler than these lowly slaves that anyone can teach her a lesson now.
But she couldn't do anything and could only keep her head down and remain silent.
Shuangyun looked at the other party covering his head and listening to the lesson, and weighed the spatula in his hand with satisfaction. This way of beating people was still more refreshing.
When Changhe comes back, she will have to try to see if the other party's head is okay.
Jinzhu helplessly looked at Shuangyun who was touching the spatula, and whispered to Su Lu:
"Shuangyun is quick-witted, but she doesn't mean any harm. If the noble hears your name, it will bring disaster upon you. This is not the common people. The palace has complicated rules and regulations. The slightest mistake could cost you your life."
Originally, names like hers and Yinzhu were not allowed, but the name given by the Crown Princess avoided the sense of presumption.
"Be good and call me Yinfeng from now on."
Su Lu walked away and said unconvincedly, "I am His Highness's man. Anyone who dares to take my life is not taking him seriously."
After all, he was brought back by Gu Qingheng. You have to look at the owner before beating the dog!
Jinzhu pulled Shuangyun, who was about to hit the other party, and said helplessly: "You looked like the Crown Princess before...but she is coming back now."
Su Lu ignored the pain in her head and blurted out in shock: "Zhao Mingzhu is back?"
Jinzhu let go, Shuangyun rushed over with a roar, raised his hand and shoveled down with a very loud thud.
Qiao'er was so frightened that she came out from the small kitchen, but when she saw the scene, she shrank back because she didn't like that teasing chicken.
Shuangyun twisted Su Lu's ears and said angrily:
"I told you the first time I saw you, I knew you were restless. Now it's come true. Wait for the Crown Princess to come back. I will definitely urge her to drive you away!"
Su Lu was not willing to be beaten all the time, so she pushed the man away with a vicious look in her eyes.
There was pain in his heart. He knew that it was very likely that Gu Qingheng would throw away himself as a substitute after bringing Zhao Mingzhu back.
Thinking of this, she turned around and left angrily.
Shuangyun watched her run away, frowned and said to Jinzhu: "As long as she is here, I feel like I have a rabbit in my heart."
Very uneasy.
No, when the Crown Princess comes back, I must ask her to send those people away as soon as possible.
Late at night the next day, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the East Palace gate.
Zhao Mingzhu jumped off the carriage, and Qiao'er and others smiled when they saw her.
"The servants greet the Crown Princess."
"Get up quickly."
Zhao Mingzhu touched the heads of these girls one by one, and they walked inside together, leaving Gu Qingheng behind.
"Crown Princess, we were scared to death when you disappeared during this period." Jinzhu sighed softly. She missed the empty Tingchao Courtyard terribly as she watched over it every day.
A master like Zhao Mingzhu is hard to find, which makes her often want to be a maid in the Eastern Palace for the rest of her life.
Zhao Mingzhu listened to her and thought that Qiao'er should not have said that she faked her death. It is better to have less trouble than more.
"I just fell off a cliff and got lost. Luckily, I was rescued by a hunter."
Yinzhu frowned after hearing this: "Why didn't the Crown Princess ask him to report the news back to the East Palace earlier, so that you wouldn't have to suffer outside for these days."
After hearing this, Qiao'er became a little nervous. Zhao Mingzhu smiled slightly and said, "Qiao'er had aphasia when she woke up, and I was in a coma the whole time."
Qiao'er breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Crown Princess remembered the unified statement they had agreed upon before.
Passing through the hanging flower gate, I entered Tingchao Courtyard. Just then, the wind blew by, and the bamboos rustled.
Zhao Mingzhu looked at the scene in front of her and sighed. She really thought that she would never come back.
I didn't expect that he would come back.
Thinking of this, Zhao Mingzhu sighed softly. She felt annoyed when she thought about what would happen next.
"What are you sighing about?" Gu Qingheng came in, took off her outer clothes, and held her in his arms.
"It's nothing. It's a lot of trouble to be your wife." Zhao Mingzhu said quickly.
Qiao'er and Jinzhu in the room looked at each other in panic. The Crown Princess' words were really too bold.
They pricked up their ears and listened to Gu Qingheng's reaction.
Gu Qingheng looked down at the halo on his hair and kissed it: "It won't last long."
Zhao Mingzhu curled her lips and asked, "Who knows?"
A man's mouth is a lie.
At this time, someone at the Changhe Gate said, "Your Highness, are we going to the palace tomorrow?"
"Um."
Changhe responded and went to prepare, but turned his head.
He looked at the spatula on his forehead, and the corner of his eye twitched: "Is the blindness cured?"
Before, Shuangyun always landed on Changshu, and only realized it after hitting the wrong person.
Shuangyun took back the spatula and sneered: "Don't worry, I won't admit my mistake again in the future."
Changhe glanced at her and walked away.
Shuangyun nodded. He left right away? She was still waiting for him to retaliate, but that was all that happened...
"How is it, did you succeed?" Changshu appeared and laughed at Shuangyun.
Shuangyun came back to his senses and nodded: "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost made a mistake again."
She almost hit Changshu just now, but fortunately he corrected himself immediately.
Changshu waved his hand after hearing this: "It's not worth mentioning, as long as you hit it."
He took out the amulet he had asked for last time and handed it to Shuangyun: "I asked for it on my way to Guoqing Temple. I hope you don't mind."
Shuangyun took it and looked at it. She had received gifts from Changshu several times, and each time he said it was just a gift.
But she is not a fool.
"Thank you. I just happened to embroider a sachet for you." Shuangyun casually pushed the thing into his arms and hurried in.
The long tree was left very happy.
As soon as Shuangyun entered, he heard Jinzhu seemed to be saying something earnestly, but the Crown Princess was already drowsy.
Seeing that Gu Qingheng was not there, she thought he must have gone to take a shower and change clothes.
"What are you talking about?"
Jinzhu also saw Zhao Mingzhu sleeping, and she spoke softly:
"I advise the Crown Princess to hurry up and have an heir. Her disappearance could easily be used as an excuse to make a fuss."
Shuangyun disagreed after hearing this: "I have a different opinion from you. I think it's not possible."
Jinzhu was puzzled, and Shuangyun said in two different voices, "You're just back, and you're pregnant already. Don't you think it's even weirder?"
Jinzhu lost her voice, she really had forgotten.
"Okay, okay, you two, it's late at night, why don't you go to bed early?" Zhao Mingzhu rubbed her hair, yawned, went to bed and closed her eyes.
Didn’t Gu Qingheng say that there were few people who knew about it? Someone had appeared in front of everyone on her behalf recently.
In fact, pregnancy is a natural thing.
But she won't be able to get pregnant at the moment, Gu Qingheng understands her better than she does.
I asked Bo Ling to prepare a contraceptive pill that men can also drink.
