Chapter 403 Genius Doctor, Fake Daughter, and Deposed Prince 12
Suddenly, Cha Jiu raised his head and whispered something.
Pei Yu seemed not to hear clearly, so he leaned forward slightly, lowered his head and listened patiently.
He had a warm smile on his face.
When he looked at Cha Jiu, the tenderness in his eyes was like spring water, which could melt all the ice and snow in the sky.
Yun Zhiruo looked at this scene, her face twisted with jealousy.
"Zhiruo" Madam Yun called Yun Zhiruo several times before the latter came to her senses.
"Let's go back. I'm afraid Zhichu may not like this golden brocade." Madam Yun said in a low voice.
There is no harm without contrast.
Now, she was holding this half piece of cloth, standing among the precious treasures in the yard, and she felt miserable.
Yun An, who was standing by, heard this and shook his head.
How come Mrs. Yun still doesn't understand?
What matters in a gift is not the value, but the thought. If Madam Yun prepared it sincerely, even if it was just coarse linen, Ah Chu would be happy to accept it and wear it.
This was a truth that was clear to outsiders, but Mrs. Yun was confused by it and thought that it was because of her fate that Cha Jiu looked down on her.
Cha Jiu was too lazy to explain and continued chatting and laughing with Pei Yu.
Madam Yun sighed, took Yun Zhiruo's hand and was about to walk out.
Yun Zhiruo shook her hand away.
Mrs. Yun was stunned.
At this moment, Yun Zhiruo's eyes were filled with Pei Yu's handsome face, which was as bright as the bright moon.
As if possessed by a ghost, she mustered up her courage, walked towards him, and called softly, "Your Highness."
As she wished.
Pei Yu turned around and looked at her.
Yun Zhiruo looked at his face greedily and said earnestly, "My master Du Zhong will come to Yun Mansion to see me in three days. It will be inconvenient for you to be examined by then."
She desperately wanted to do something to attract the other person's attention.
But surprisingly, Pei Yu's reaction to this incident was not as good as the first time.
He said calmly but politely, "If it is convenient for the ghost doctor, I will be waiting for you at home. If it is not convenient, there is no need to force it."
Yun An hesitated to speak.
Cha Jiu also looked at Pei Yu in confusion.
Yun Zhiruo wanted to say something, but was dragged back to the Yun Mansion by Madam Yun.
"What nonsense are you talking about in front of the Second Prince?"
Madam Yun whispered in reproach, "Everyone knows that your master can only treat one nobleman every time he comes out of this world. Your father has already arranged this position for the fourth prince, who is now the most favored by the emperor."
Ever since Pei Yu was demoted, the emperor fell ill.
The fourth prince took care of his father every day, never complaining about the hard work, and even cut off his own flesh to make medicine, begging his father for recovery.
This filial piety moved the emperor. In addition, the Fourth Prince had extraordinary means and abilities. Therefore, two-thirds of the affairs in the court were now handed over to him by the emperor to handle. He was in the limelight.
Doctor Yun was no fool, so he naturally left this opportunity to curry favor with the Fourth Prince.
Yun Zhiruo was stunned and said quickly: "But we have already promised the Second Prince. If we break our promise now, won't we offend him?"
Madam Yun said, "It's just a deposed prince. Just find some excuse to get away with it and don't tear your face off. Now the fourth prince is the one we are betting on."
"Zhiruo, do you want to be the wife of a deposed prince, powerless and imprisoned in the courtyard for life; or do you want to be the future crown prince's concubine with unlimited glory and wealth?"
Yun Zhiruo bit her lip and closed her eyes.
She likes Pei Yu.
But it cannot be denied.
She hesitated on this issue.
…
That night.
There was a warm charcoal fire burning in the house, and the warm yellow candlelight flickered.
Pei Yu was sitting alone on the Eight Immortals Chair wearing an outer robe, quietly looking at the book in his hand.
He looked very serious and absorbed.
But if there were other people present at this time, they would easily notice that he had not turned a page in his book for a long time.
From time to time, there were sounds of laughter coming from outside the window.
It was Chajiu, Yun'an and the others playing snowball fight.
Today is Cha Jiu's birthday. In the afternoon, there was another incident about Madam Yun sending gifts. Pei Yu was worried that Cha Jiu was in a bad mood, so he told Yun An and the others not to serve him for the time being and to have a good time with her.
Whenever he heard the little girl's clear and cheerful voice, Pei Yu's sullen brows would soften slightly. He would listen attentively for a while, even forgetting to read the book.
Not long after, Cha Jiu, who was sweating profusely from playing, pushed the door open, his little face flushed, and he was pouring tea breathlessly.
But not for yourself.
But give it to him first.
Pei Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Just drink it yourself, don't worry about me."
Cha Jiu always takes care of him first out of habit.
From the bottom of your heart, put his needs first.
Every time Pei Yu discovered this, he felt relieved.
Cha Jiu was very thirsty, so he didn't bother to be polite with him. He just gulped down the tea and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.
Carefree.
Pei Yu had no choice but to take out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve and personally wipe the water stains on her lips and the snow on her hair and clothes.
"You, can you be more polite in your gestures? Whose girl wipes her mouth with her hands?"
"Also, I saw you stuff the snowball into Yun'an's neck. Can you just pick a man's collar?"
Cha Jiu stood still and obediently let Pei Yu dry her hair.
He even smiled with his eyes squinted when being scolded.
There seemed to be broken stars in those bright smiling eyes.
The light pear swirl is mixed with sweet wine.
Good and soft.
Pei Yu didn't have the heart to say another word of reprimand, so he softened his tone and asked, "Is it fun?"
"It's fun." Cha Jiu nodded, his eyes sparkling, and he said expectantly: "Yun An also said that there will be a fireworks show on the street later. Your Highness, when are we going out?"
Pei Yu's eyes dimmed slightly, but he still kept a warm smile on his face: "You and Yun An go."
Cha Jiu was stunned: "Aren't you going?"
Pei Yu shook his head: "I am imprisoned here. I am not allowed to go out without the emperor's order."
Cha Jiu lowered his head with a guilty look, as if he realized that he had said something wrong.
"If Your Highness doesn't go, I won't go either." She muttered, "I want to accompany Your Highness."
Pei Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't need you to accompany me."
Cha Jiu insisted: "Then Your Highness please accompany me. I need company."
Pei Yu was helpless, shaking his head and laughing.
The little girl is very clever.
But it always touches the softest part of his heart.
Let him always retain the last bit of kindness towards this world and not be completely consumed by hatred.
Pei Yu thought about it, called Yun An over, and whispered some instructions to him.
Half an hour later.
Just as Cha Jiu was sitting in the house, yawning and eating cakes lazily.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of iron striking outside the yard.
What followed was a dazzling fire, briefly illuminating the quiet and cold courtyard.
"Hey" Cha Jiu stopped eating the cake and turned to look out the window.
Pei Yu chuckled: "Let's go outside and take a look."
At the same time, Yun An also shouted in the yard: "Achu! Come out and watch the fireworks! His Highness asked me to bring the fireworks performer to the door!"
Cha Jiu's eyes lit up and he immediately jumped up from his chair, holding Pei Yu's hand and walked out.
She also did not forget to bring him a thick black fox cloak to put on.
The gate of the mansion was open, and people standing in the yard could clearly see the scene outside.
The fireworks performer hit the molten iron with a wooden hammer, and a fire dragon flew into the night sky and turned into golden stars falling from the sky. It was a spectacular sight.
"good!"
The people watching around cheered.
Cha Jiu also clapped and laughed excitedly.
Pei Yu stood beside her and suddenly called her softly.
"At the beginning."
"Um"
"Happy birthday."
Cha Jiu looked up at him and found that he was also looking down at her quietly. The tenderness in his eyes was even more brilliant than the stars in the sky.
Cha Jiu smiled and reached out to pinch his fingertips under his robe.
“I am very happy on this birthday.”
"Because I met His Highness."
