Chapter 380 Extra 1: Ning & Qing (2)
"Um."
Next.
Chu Youning started a new round of eating.
later.
After leaving the table.
Chu Youning returned to his own mansion next door and leaned against the roof skillfully to enjoy the cool breeze.
Qing Qianxue arrived a little late, holding a cloak in her hand, and walked over to put it on her.
"I've told you so many times, the nights have been a little chilly lately, and I've eaten so much that I'm going to climb up to the roof to enjoy the cool breeze."
"Hey, isn't this my Qian Qingqing~"
Chu Youning turned his head and grinned.
The girl of the past has now grown into a young lady. Her face has become less youthful and more mature and charming, with an indescribable sense of casualness in her charm.
Of course, the most important thing is that the bean sprout-like body that the girl herself disliked in the past has now become well-proportioned.
“You.”
Qing Qianxue sat down beside her skillfully, took out a jade flute and started playing a tune. Chu Youning leaned on Qing Qianxue's back skillfully and looked at the dark night.
After a long time.
Chu Youning closed his eyes unconsciously.
Qing Qianxue stopped when she saw this, put the jade flute on her waist, picked up the person carefully, and carried him back to the room.
When he was about to leave, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
He turned his head and met those sparkling eyes.
He doesn't look sleepy at all.
"Qian Qing, I have something for you to keep."
"good."
Qing Qianxue didn't ask what it was, but smiled gently and nodded.
Chu Youning took out a golden cloth bag that looked like it contained a scroll from under the pillow, then smiled lazily and handed it to him.
Qing Qianxue took the bag, and saw Chu Youning speak again: "Take it back to the mansion and have a look~"
"good."
This time.
Chu Youning did not keep Qing Qianxue any longer.
After Qing Qianxue returned home, she sat under the bright candlelight, looking at the cloth bag, her heartbeat inexplicably slowing down.
He opened the bag carefully.
He was familiar with the style of the scroll without even having to take it out.
It's an imperial edict.
He opened it and took a look. It was the imperial decree granting marriage from the emperor.
His eyes paused as he glanced at a certain spot.
The gaps in the past were now filled with dates.
【The marriage was completed on May 20th, the eleventh year of Emperor An.】
May 20th, today is exactly 52 days away from the deadline.
His fingertips gently stroked the words, which were completely different from the handwriting in the imperial edict. Qing Qianxue couldn't help but chuckle. Then... he carefully painted those words one by one for a long time.
Year after year.
Ning Ning once said that in her world, girls of twenty-three or twenty-four have just finished their studies, and some even continue to go to school. Once their careers are stable, many girls get married at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
He thought he would have to wait a few more years.
Unexpectedly, he arrived early.
Her sudden surprise really made him very happy.
then.
The Imperial Master's Mansion, which is usually known for its silence at night, was inexplicably lively tonight.
Why is it so lively?
The Imperial Master was so excited that he couldn't sleep tonight, so he called all the people in the Shadow Pavilion to start a one-on-one duel.
After successfully defeating everyone.
The Imperial Preceptor was practicing swordplay in the martial arts training ground. He was full of energy the entire night, as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Everyone in the Shadow Pavilion thought that their master had gone to the full-moon banquet and was stimulated. None of them dared to sleep.
Wait until daybreak.
Qing Qianxue finally stopped.
He looked at the members of Shadow Pavilion and smiled warmly: "From today on, the Imperial Master's Mansion will be renovated. All the things in the mansion should be replaced with new ones. Red silk, wedding characters, lanterns, everything that should be hung should be hung up. Also... send all the betrothal gifts that I have collected over the past few years to the eldest princess."
Everyone in Shadow Pavilion looked at Qing Qianxue with their eyes wide open and were stunned for a long while.
Qianye still reacts the fastest.
She immediately looked at Qing Qianxue with a face full of joy: "The eldest princess is finally going to marry the master!!!"
The idiots reacted instantly, and Qian Miao couldn't help but smile: "Master, rest assured, I will complete the task you assigned me and make sure you marry comfortably!!!"
After Qing Qianxue left with satisfaction.
Qian Yan couldn't help but tug at Qian Miao's sleeves and said, "Brother, when the master becomes a consort in the future, he should live in the Princess's residence. Then why... do we have to go to great lengths to rebuild this Imperial Master's residence?"
"The master is in a good mood, so just do whatever he asks you to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Qian Miao rolled his eyes at him.
Afraid that his stupid Ou Doudou would do something stupid when his master was happiest, and get punished again by accident, Qian Miao pulled him away a little, and then continued in a low voice:
"You are really too stupid, boy. A married woman is like water spilled out. If the woman moves into the Princess's residence in the future, the head of the family will be the Princess, right?"
Stupid Ou Doudou nodded.
Qian Miao continued earnestly, "Then...if the master makes the princess angry in the future and the princess doesn't let him in, can the master go back to our Imperial Master's Mansion instead of sleeping in the study room and lying on the table?"
"Oh~ I understand! Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely renovate the master's safe haven in the future!!!"
~~~
Chu Youning finally decided to get married.
The palace is naturally the happiest one.
When Emperor Wenzong of Chu stayed in Qiwu Palace that night, he almost couldn't help dancing.
"An'er, someone will finally take care of the royal sister!!!"
"In the future, with my Imperial Master keeping an eye on her, she won't have much time to compete with me in wits and courage!!!"
When talking about this, Emperor Wenzong of Chu felt heartbroken.
He! He had originally planned to retire early!
result……
No one knew what medicine his good sister had given the crown prince six years ago, but ever since he recovered from his illness six years ago, she had been finding excuses to not help him actively handle government affairs.
As for the others, every time they heard him summon them into Yu's study, they ran faster than rabbits.
For the first time ever, no one is fighting for the imperial power.
All political affairs are now in his hands, and he can't get rid of them.
"Your Majesty... my suggestion is that you don't have to be too happy yet. Your sister is just getting married, not that she will not be staying in the palace in the future.
You will still have to face what you have to face in the future."
Cui Zhaoan spoke in a gentle tone.
"Speaking of which, Yu'er's wedding cannot be rushed. I'll go see if there's anything else I need to prepare!"
Having said that, Cui Zhaoan quickly got up and ran away.
So ah.
After a busy day, Chu Wenzong, who wanted to find a warm harbor, waited for Cui Zhaoan to come back. He fell asleep in grievance and never returned to the warm harbor.
What was waiting for him was only Chu Youning's wanton and smirking smile and his gnashing teeth in his dream.
