Dugu Yu's face suddenly turned dark. He had finally wanted to show off his talent in front of her, but she was distracted and didn't hear him. This was simply outrageous!
Qin Qingyao was just about to ask Dugu Yu to say it again when servants came over with two more people.
Qin Qingyao's face, which suddenly shone with joy, made Dugu Yu feel as if someone had hit him hard in the heart, causing him to feel a dull pain.
Obviously, she only showed that kind of expression in front of him before!
Qin Qingyao no longer cared about Dugu Yu's poem. She ran towards the newcomers, holding up her skirt. "Big brother, third brother, why are you here too?"
Both brothers smiled gently and dotingly. Qin Yuefeng reached out and gently patted the snowflakes off Qin Qingyao's hair. Qin Yuelin rubbed his hands together and then covered Qin Qingyao's red ears with his palms.
His hands were so big that they lifted up Qin Qingyao's entire face.
"Why don't you put on more clothes? You're freezing and your ears are cold."
If Qin Yuelin hadn't said it, Qin Qingyao really didn't realize how comfortable it was to be pressed against his warm palm.
"Hey, it hasn't snowed yet when I went out. Who knew it would be so cold today?"
Qin Yuefeng, "Mother, eldest sister, and second sister are all here, chatting in the greenhouse. There are also the lady and the old lady from the Yang Mansion. You can go find them."
"Great!" Qin Qingyao was just hoping for this. She was standing here in the cold, watching the heroine shine. What was she trying to gain? She wasn't the male supporting role!
As for Dugu Yu...
Forget it, even if she was present, she couldn’t stop Lin Xiafeng’s domineering aura, it was annoying to watch!
She turned around and said to Dugu Yu, "My husband, I'm going back to the house to find my mother first!"
Before Dugu Yu could say anything, Princess Anli spoke first, "Why isn't the princess going with us to the plum garden? I heard that the princess loves flowers, and there are many kinds of plum blossoms in the palace, and you haven't seen them yet!"
Qin Qingyao grinned, "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I am just an ordinary person and cannot do such a noble thing as walking in the snow to find plum blossoms. Farewell!"
Dugu Yu watched Qin Qingyao walk away, then shifted his gaze to Qin Yuelin's big hands. He knew that the three of them were siblings, but he still felt unhappy when he saw their open and intimate interactions.
Even if she is your biological sister, she is already married. Can't she understand some rules?
You are touching the princess's opponent, you are committing insubordination!
However, he could only think about it indignantly in his heart. He didn't dare to blame his brother-in-law. Anyway, expecting the Qin family to understand the rules was simply a dream. Just look at Qin Qingyao and you will know.
What's more, he felt very guilty now, afraid that the Qin family would think that he had not taken good care of Qin Qingyao and had let her catch a cold.
He knew it was very cold today, and he really wanted Qin Qingyao to stay by his side. Moreover, he had already done his best to help Qin Qingyao block the wind and snow...
But now it seems that the little bit of warmth he can provide is far less attractive to Qin Qingyao than the brazier in the greenhouse.
His eyes unconsciously drifted to Lin Xiafeng, and he was dazzled by the snow-white cloak.
You bought it for your wife, why would you put it on someone else?
But when he looked at Lin Xiafeng's face full of annoyance, regret and helplessness, it was a different feeling in the eyes of others.
Princess Anli put her hands behind her back and rubbed against Dugu Yu like a little rabbit. She smiled with narrowed eyes and said, "Brother Dugu, isn't Sister Feng'er so beautiful and smart that you can't take your eyes off her?"
"As a woman, I'm already falling for her, let alone a man."
Falling for Lin Xiafeng? Don't talk nonsense, I'm not!
Dugu Yu looked around nervously, then remembered that Qin Qingyao had already left...
Fortunately!
Before he could figure out how to respond to Princess Anli's words, Ling Jingyue in front of him was already calling everyone to continue walking deeper into the plum garden.
Dugu Yu nodded apologetically to Princess Anli and hurried to catch up.
Princess Anli stood behind Dugu Yu, and the cute smile on her face suddenly disappeared, leaving only a look of sadness and melancholy.
"Brother Dugu, when will you be able to look at me like you look at your sister Feng'er?"
"I'm not greedy. Just give me a little bit of the attention you give her, just a little bit!"
The Qin brothers then looked at each other, and the indescribable look in their eyes could only be understood but not expressed in words.
Not to mention that Dugu Yu has already married a wife, even if he is still single, it is impossible for someone from Prince Yi's Mansion to marry into Prince Wuling's Mansion!
What is Princess Anli thinking?
Qin Yuelin walked over with a smile, "Your Highness, everyone has gone far away, aren't you going?"
"Ah?" Ling Anli was staring at Dugu Yu's back in a daze, completely forgetting that there was someone behind him. Otherwise, he would not have uttered those heartfelt words to himself!
Frightened by Qin Yuelin's voice, she turned around and saw the two Qin brothers looking at her with smiles on their faces. Unless they were deaf, they must have heard every word she said.
Princess Anli was immediately enraged and humiliated. She glared at them fiercely and turned away.
Qin Yuelin, "Oh my god, this princess has a bad temper. She covets our little sister's man and even confronts us!"
Qin Yuefeng glared at him and said, "Misfortune comes from the mouth, be honest!"
"Tsk~"
"Just pretend you didn't hear anything about this, and don't tell any nonsense to Xiaoer."
"Do you think I'm stupid? She can't enter Prince Wu Ling's palace, so why would she bother our little one with such a thing? Look at how our little one treats our beloved Prince Wu Ling. How shameless!"
Qin Yuefeng couldn't help but smile and pulled his brother to catch up with the main group.
Relying on their youth and strength, these people braved the snow and waves for a whole morning and finally returned to the house. At this time, the old concubine also came out of the room and sat right above the living room, waiting to receive the New Year gifts from the younger generations.
Although Prince Yi's Mansion has no shortage of these things, the old man just wants to have some fun, right?
After Dugu Yu entered the room, he saw Qin Qingyao with her mother and sisters, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
He knew he should go over to say hello and greet them, but his legs seemed to be nailed to the ground and he couldn't move forward at all.
He doesn't dare.
Thanks to those idle young ladies who like to gossip, everyone now knows that the big cloak on Lin Xiafeng was given by him.
After everyone knew that he came with Qin Qingyao, he left her and went to "pick up" Lin Xiafeng!
Although he really felt wronged, meeting Lin Xiafeng was a complete accident and it was not arranged by him!
But so what? Everyone has accepted it, so it is the fact even if it is not true.
The Qin family must have known about this. He didn't know how his mother-in-law would feel about it, but she definitely wouldn't praise him for doing a good job...
He had helped Lin Xiafeng many times before, but every time he did it with a clear conscience. He was very happy to support Lin Xiafeng!
But this time, it felt like I had done something shameful and was stripped naked and put on display.
He finally realized that he was a married man, and it was not a good look for him to be good friends with an unmarried girl and to help her out and be considerate all the time!
When Mrs. Qin saw Dugu Yu, she nodded and greeted him calmly. The old lady of the Yang family was much more honest and rolled her eyes at him.
The old lady came with her granddaughter-in-law, but General Yang was too busy and did not come.
Old Lady Yang was furious after hearing those gossips, but when she saw Qin Qingyao acting as if nothing had happened and still being so carefree and cheerful in front of her family, she felt both relieved and distressed.
How could Yu'er not cherish such a good wife? I don't know what he's doing with that concubine of the Lin family!
How could he look good after slapping his own princess in the face like this?
The more guilty Old Lady Yang felt for Dugu Yu, the more she doted on Qin Qingyao.
Seeing how close the old lady was to Qin Qingyao, the eldest sister-in-law of the Yang family felt even more uncomfortable. However, she endured it at home as long as the old lady was happy.
But this is happening outside, with so many people watching. She doesn't have many good words to say to her granddaughter-in-law, but she is so close to Princess Wuling. How can she, as her granddaughter-in-law, not feel disheartened?
You have time to worry about Princess Wu Ling's reputation, but who will give face to your own granddaughter-in-law?
After Madam Qin greeted Dugu Yu, she took Qin Qingyao's hand and patted it, "Yao'er, go to your husband."
She came with King Wu Ling today, and she always stood behind her family, so others thought that the couple was having a conflict.
When the old lady heard what Mrs. Qin said, she felt that the Qin family was gentle, generous and sensible, and nodded in appreciation.
Qin Qingyao ran over happily. Dugu Yu unconsciously held her hand, but found that her hand was warm and his was cold, so he quickly let go.
After those people exchanged greetings with the old empress dowager for a while, it was time to present the New Year gifts. The crown prince was naturally the first in line, followed by the princes, and after they finished, it was Dugu Yu's turn.
Qin Qingyao very politely accompanied Dugu Yu to deliver the New Year gift to the old empress dowager and also gave gifts to the younger generations.
After delivering the gifts, Princess Anli pouted and complained, "Brother Dugu, where is my gift? I reminded you yesterday, you didn't forget me again, did you?"
Dugu Yu, "No, this..."
He took out the exquisite and heavy wooden box, opened it and handed it to Princess Anli, preparing to say that this pair of jade pendants were given to her, and he hoped that she would find her ideal husband soon.
As a result, before he could even say a word, the old lady Yang next to him got furious.
He slammed the cane in his hand to the ground with a bang, followed by a roar, "What are you holding?!"
Dugu Yu was yelled at by the old lady and immediately retracted his outstretched hand, completely confused as to why.
Princess Anli's hand, which was stretched out to receive the gift, froze in mid-air, and the atmosphere was frozen in awkwardness.
Qin Qingyao took a look at the pair of butterfly jade pendants in Dugu Yu's hand. It was obvious that they were not ordinary items. But they were just a pair of jade pendants. Why was the old lady so angry?
