Chapter 34 We will be obedient if we die
Zhao Mingzhu and An Yun slept and woke up frequently this morning.
Guess what when you wake up?
"It's time for dinner again." Zhao Mingzhu stretched her arms.
Gu Yu was curious when he saw this: "How can you be so well behaved and just sleep all the time?"
How can they sleep?
An Yun didn't care at all: "Princess, you're good at your studies and you're not sleepy listening to this, but Mingzhu and I are at the bottom of the class. What are we doing if we don't sleep? Are we playing guessing game with knowledge?"
She guessed 0 pieces of knowledge.
Gu Yu rolled his eyes when he heard this, but he didn't feel ashamed and even had the nerve to say it.
"If you can't even teach your children in the future, people will ask how you, as a mother, can be competent."
"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Zhao Mingzhu went out to get lunch and came back. Qiaoer wondered what she had prepared today.
Zhao Mingzhu opened it with great anticipation. An Yun had been eating for a few days and came over without any preparation at all:
"What are we having for dinner today?"
The first thing that catches your eye is a full bowl of rice.
An Yun nodded: "Look at this rice, it's crystal clear and plump, each grain is distinct, what a great cook."
Zhao Mingzhu opened the second layer and found another bowl of rice. An Yun:
"What a coincidence! You even prepared one for me, what a nice girl."
Zhao Mingzhu opened the third layer, and it was still rice. An Yun:
"You're so smart to put an extra portion in case we don't have enough."
Zhao Mingzhu had a bad feeling. When she opened it, there was another bowl of rice. She said: ...
An Yun came closer, thinking she had seen it wrong. She was surprised: "Why is it all rice today?"
Zhao Mingzhu didn't know either. She looked at Gu Yu who was coming back from the front and quickly closed all the lids.
"Princess, today we have the same eggplant stuffed with meat from yesterday. I'm tired of it. Can you swap it?"
An Yun raised her thumb and said, "That eggplant looks delicious. My mouth is watering just looking at it. If the princess doesn't like it, just let me eat it."
Gu Yu likes to eat eggplant stuffed with meat. She thought about it and agreed, then gave the food box in her hand to Zhao Mingzhu.
The two of them ran away with the food boxes, and as soon as they stepped out of the door, they heard Gu Yu's roar.
When Gu Yu caught up with the two people, Zhao Mingzhu and An Yun were eating with their mouths full of oil, but Zhao Mingzhu got ahead of her and acted like a rogue.
"Princess, you don't want to see me, your sister-in-law, starve, do you?"
Gu Yu took a deep breath. Why didn’t she realize that she was the emperor’s sister-in-law?
An Yun followed suit: "Princess, you don't want to see a weak me starving, right?"
"Go to hell." Gu Yuling uttered three words mercilessly.
Zhao Mingzhu yelled that it was ruthless, and then stuffed the food into her mouth. Gu Yu felt that if he didn't eat it now, he would just be licking the plate.
She raised her chopsticks and put the largest piece of freshly roasted chicken into her mouth before An Yun could.
An Yun wailed and was about to pick up her chopsticks, but Zhao Mingzhu snatched away the last piece.
"Mingzhu, are you the reincarnation of a bandit?" An Yun could only pick up some vegetables with grievance.
Zhao Mingzhu felt no guilt at all: "Anzai, eat more vegetables, it's good for you."
"What's the benefit?"
"have no idea."
An Yun: She just knew it.
…
A gentle breeze blew by the clear water lake, and the tender willows drooped and swayed leisurely. The tips of their long branches skimmed across the lake, creating ripples.
The spring scenery is beautiful.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Mingzhu lay on the lawn with her eyes closed, basking in the sun, like a lazy cat.
An Yun leaned against her, with her feet on Gu Yu's legs: "I really hope we can stay like this forever, for the rest of our lives."
Gu Yu was also a little sleepy, her eyelids drooped: "Don't make a wish easily, it is very likely that it will go against your wishes."
"That's right, Anzi, just keep telling us the bad news. Then we'll all be dead, dead, dead, dead, and obedient."
The sun is shining brightly today. Zhao Mingzhu opened her eyes and looked at the clear blue sky, with a flock of birds occasionally flying by.
But suddenly I heard An Yun yell, "Ah!"
It turned out that a ghost face suddenly appeared above her head, and she was so scared that she rolled to the side and stood up.
Lei Ruoshui put his hands on his hips and laughed: "You coward, I knew I could scare you."
Zhao Mingzhu and Gu Yu both woke up. An Yun gritted her teeth in anger. She was already a little grumpy after waking up, and when she saw Lei Ruoshui doing something bad, she pounced on him without thinking, and the two of them wrestled on the ground.
"Lei Ruoshui... If the tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a sick cat!"
"An Yun, you... you are a sick cat. Otherwise, how could you not even keep your fiancé? You are always hanging around us Lulu."
Gu Yu frowned as she looked at the two people on the ground and was about to separate them, but Zhao Mingzhu got there before her.
Zhao Mingzhu hasn't arrived yet, but An Yun wants to tell her to stay away from her because she is determined to defeat Lei Ruoshui today!
Zhao Mingzhu stopped in front of them, stretched out her hand and said anxiously, "Stop fighting! You won't kill me like this!"
An Yun and Lei Ruoshui: ...
At most, they wanted to win, but they were not prepared to lose their lives.
At this time, Su Lu, Zhu Yuhe and Li Can hurried over. Seeing this, Su Lu immediately persuaded the two:
"Stop fighting! Fighting is forbidden in the academy. We are all sisters, so why fight?"
"Miss Zhao, Princess, please persuade An Yun not to make a big deal out of this, or you'll be punished again."
But in just one morning, Su Lu had returned to normal, as if the unpleasantness with Gu Yu had never existed.
Gu Yu looked at her for a second longer. No wonder Zhao Mingzhu couldn't beat her before.
Gu Yu: "You two, don't forget the last time you had a fight and got reported to the palace. You went back and knelt until your knees were swollen."
As soon as she said this, An Yun and Lei Ruoshui let go of her hands at the same time, and then retreated tacitly.
Lei Ruoshui snorted, "The Imperial College is going to have a rowing competition later. How about we have a kite-fighting competition? Whoever lands first loses! Let's see who's the real sick cat!"
Without a second thought, An Yun grabbed Zhao Mingzhu and Gu Yu who were about to leave and challenged them: "Come on, who's afraid of you!"
Zhao Mingzhu and Gu Yu: Actually, I don’t really want to compete.
Zhao Mingzhu counted them one by one: "It's not fair, you have one extra person."
Lei Ruoshui waved his hand and said, "You all know that Lulu is weak and useless. She is not considered a human being."
Zhao Mingzhu saw her say it so bluntly, and Su Lu's face flashed with embarrassment.
After Lei Ruoshui and the others left, An Yun took them both and headed straight for the kite shop:
"Hurry, let's buy the best kite before they do. We can't lose today no matter what."
Zhao Mingzhu followed behind, showing no fighting spirit:
"Anzi, victory and defeat are common in the military, you have to get used to it."
"No! We must win!"
After arriving at the kite shop, An Yun waved her hand and asked them to take out the most expensive kite in the store.
Zhao Mingzhu sat down: "Why not pick the strongest one?"
An Yun looked at the pile of kites in front of her without turning her head:
"If I lose and it gets damaged, I can make a fuss and ask them to pay me back. I'll say it was made by my late great-grandmother before she died, and it's the only one in the world. I'll ask them for five times the price."
Zhao Mingzhu listened to this and asked, "Didn't you say we must win?"
An Yun said: "I also swear every night before going to bed that I will study hard in the future."
It’s the same as never having succeeded before. Slogans are just for shouting!
Zhao Mingzhu was in awe: "That makes sense."
Gu Yu was simply disgusted. No wonder they were always at the bottom yet contented. It turned out that they were masters of self-consolation.
