Chapter 29 Marry or Marry
"She is just a maid who has served me for many years. How can she be a concubine?" Ye Qingyu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"That's not right. I heard that your father has assigned her to be your concubine. Do you still want to hide it from me?" Qing Yi told the gossip he heard from Qingqing and questioned.
"That was my father's intention, but I never agreed to it." Ye Qingyu explained helplessly.
"But you didn't refuse!" Qing Yi insisted.
"I didn't summon her to bed, so how could I refuse her? She's been taking care of me for years. Should I just kick her out?"
"Just let her go. I think Qingqing is a hundred times better than her. She takes care of you carefully and thoughtfully." After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Qing Yi felt that he would feel more at ease if Qingqing stayed with Ye Qingyu.
"Haha, Qingqing would definitely be happy to hear you say that."
"Alas, with my charisma, I'm not afraid of them. By the way, have you mentioned the marriage arrangement to the Emperor?" Qing Yi was truly worried about this. Although he didn't quite understand the intricacies of imperial power, he knew that if the Emperor really issued an order to grant a marriage, it would be a huge problem.
"Don't worry, I will marry no one but you." Ye Qingyu said with a smile.
"Marry me? It should be you who marries me! You have to marry me!" Qing Yi raised his eyebrows and teased deliberately.
"Humph! Tell me, how much do you plan to give me in marriage gift?"
"Uh, Xiaoye, why are you so vulgar? We are destined to be together, how can we be measured by worldly things? From now on, let's go into the world together, travel around the world like the Martial Saint, and live a free and easy life like a fairy. How wonderful!" Qing Yi knew clearly in his heart that in terms of family property and status, he would never be able to compare with the little prince of the Northwest in his life, so he found another way and painted a beautiful dream for the future.
"Let's go out into the world together?" Ye Qingyu murmured, as if remembering the conversation with Emperor Chu yesterday. He seemed to have said that the person you love must be someone you want to walk side by side with. It turned out that Qingyi thought so too.
"Xiao Ye, what are you daydreaming about?" Qing Yi saw Ye Qingyu lowering his head in deep thought and couldn't help but interrupt him.
"Nothing!" Ye Qingyu shook his head slightly, thinking, what am I thinking about?
The two chatted for a while, and then went to the back garden of the palace together.
Only now, with his beloved, did Qingyi finally have the heart to appreciate the flowers. As expected of a royal palace, every detail exuded luxury and elegance. Ruyi, accompanied by two maids, brought tea and fruit, placing them delicately on the stone table. She picked up a palm-leaf fan and stood behind Ye Qingyu, fanning him.
Qing Yi glanced at her from the corner of his eye and asked casually, "Where's Qingqing?"
However, there was silence all around, and no one responded to his question. Qing Yi looked at Ye Qingyu, only to see him narrowing his eyes slightly, with the extravagant look of a young master from an aristocratic family.
Qing Yi curled his lips, reached out and plucked a grape from the fruit bowl, and threw it towards Ye Qingyu's face. Ye Qingyu reacted very quickly, gently raised his hand, caught the grape steadily, and put it into his mouth.
"Where is Qingqing?" Ye Qingyu spoke at this time.
After hearing the young prince's question, Ruyi replied respectfully, "My lord, Qingqing is waiting outside the garden. Do you need to call her over?"
Qingqing is a maid who followed from Xibei Wangcheng. She has a low rank in the royal palace in the capital, and she cannot serve the young prince closely when Ruyi is present.
"All of you step back and let Qingqing come over." Ye Qingyu ordered lightly.
"Yes, master." Ruyi and her two maids responded in unison, but when Ruyi responded, she secretly glared at Qingyi and thought to herself: This guy is really talkative.
After a while, he came over gently.
"Master, are you looking for me?" She didn't know what was going on. Ruyi said that the master called her over.
Ye Qingyu raised her chin slightly, pouted in Qingyi's direction, and said, "He was the one looking for you."
Qingqing was slightly startled, then turned to Qingyi, bowed, and asked politely: "Master Qingyi, what can I do for you?" In the palace, Qingqing's temper subsided a lot.
"Fan me quickly, it's so hot." Qing Yi had a smile on his lips and his tone was lazy.
Hearing this, she was speechless and secretly complained: "Why do you want me to fan you?" Thinking of this, her eyes unconsciously turned to her master beside her.
"Why are you looking at him? He has Ruyi serving him attentively, how can he do without you?" Qing Yi said.
Qingqing suddenly realized that this brat was jealous and asked her to be the jealous scapegoat.
"Master, Young Master Qingyi..." she said softly but stopped herself from speaking.
"How about I assign two maids to you?" Ye Qingyu said slowly.
"Hmm? Xiaoye, what do you mean? Why did you assign the maid to me? I'm not that spoiled." Qing Yi said, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he smiled and said, "How about you give me that Ruyi?"
Ye Qingyu frowned slightly, looked at Qing Yi, and asked, "What do you want her to do?"
Qing Yi had a frivolous smile on his face: "Let her fan me, let her stay outside when we sleep, and let her stand and watch when we eat..."
"Qing Yi, she has taken care of me for many years. If you bully her again, you can't stay in the palace."
"Ah, Xiaoye! You're actually trying to drive me away? Qingqing, look at how ungrateful your master is! He forgets his loyalty for the sake of beauty!"
Qingqing listened at the side, her mouth twitching, and she secretly complained in her heart: Brat, how many words do you know? What nonsense are you talking about...
"Follow me into the palace tomorrow." Ye Qingyu ignored Qing Yi's shouting.
"Ah, entering the palace? Really?" Qing Yi suddenly became excited. As expected, he could go to the palace of Da Chu to take a look. Is it really as magnificent as described in the Jianghu stories?
"Qingyi, be careful with your words and actions when you get to the palace," Ye Qingyu warned.
"Hey, I get it, Xiaoye. Isn't it enough that I listen to you?" Qing Yi's words made the person next to him curl his lips slightly. This brat can only be subdued by his own master. When he was taken out of the house this morning, he almost got into a fight with someone. Fortunately, he used his master to scare him.
On the way back, Qing Yi used both temptation and threats to prevent Qingqing from telling her master what happened today.
