She was so reckless. Didn't she think about what would happen if he couldn't react in time? Didn't she think about how badly she would fall if he didn't catch her?
After he briefly adjusted his internal breath, he changed his clothes and went out. Qin Qingyao held his arm and they went to the restaurant to eat together.
"After dinner, I'm going to the palace and then to the training ground outside the city. I won't be back for about three days."
"Hmm? Why?"
"There's a martial arts competition in the military camp every three years, and as a general, I must be there."
"What day is it today?"
"November 1st."
"Oh, I see. It's a competition between you, the military officers and generals, right?"
"Um."
"It seems like there's still room for challenge. There will be many people challenging you, right?"
Dugu Yu weakly patted Qin Qingyao's head. "Thanks to you, he's probably going to be embarrassed this year. He's got internal injuries and vomiting blood at this critical moment. He's really unlucky..."
Qin Qingyao knew about this competition, and also knew that Dugu Yu and Ling Jingxuan had fought each other under the instigation of the military officers.
Before this, Dugu Yu saw Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng being so affectionate and shameless. The jealousy and anger in his heart at that moment made him completely understand his own heart.
Let him understand that his feelings for Lin Xiafeng are definitely more than just pure friendship. He wants to possess her forever and hide her so that she belongs to him alone!
But the relationship between Lin Xiafeng and Ling Jingxuan is obviously more than just friends.
Therefore, he was in a dilemma as to whether to choose Lin Xiafeng, the woman, or Ling Jingxuan, the friend.
He was very angry that the two people had concealed the truth from him, and angry that Ling Jingxuan had defiled Lin Xiafeng, so when he fought with Ling Jingxuan, his face was ferocious and he almost killed her.
But in the end, of course, he lost because he was restless, his breathing was unstable, he was too impatient, and he wanted to defeat Ling Jingxuan too much.
To put it bluntly, Ling Jingxuan’s leading male role is so brilliant, how could he lose to the supporting male lead Dugu Yu!
"Honey, can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"When was the last time you saw Lin Xiafeng?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
"Did you see her being so shameless with Ling Jingxuan?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
"I've said it before, they're a match made in heaven! No one can separate them, so anything they do together is perfectly normal."
"Don't be sad, okay?"
Qin Qingyao looked at Dugu Yu with a sincere face. As Dugu Yu's legitimate princess, she was so sincere in comforting him not to be jealous and sad because of another woman who did not belong to him. She was also very great, wasn't she!
Dugu Yu didn't know why Qin Qingyao was talking nonsense again. He hadn't seen Lin Xiafeng for a long time, let alone seeing her being shameless with Ling Jingxuan. What was going on?
Qin Qingyao continued, "When masters clash, the situation changes rapidly. The angrier and more impatient you are, the easier it is to reveal your true colors, and the more uglier your defeat will be."
"You have to know that it's better to lose than to lose the battle. You should be more open-minded and calm. That's how you behave like a great man. Besides, losing to Ling Jingxuan is not a shameful thing. It's really great that you can fight the male protagonist!"
Male lead?
"So, don't get too serious with him. Don't lose face and lose people! It will leave a psychological scar!"
"The best thing would be for you to go up and exchange a few casual moves with him, then calmly cup your fists and say, 'I lose. Your Highness Prince Duan's skills are unmatched, and I admire you deeply!'"
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao, who was talking in a very serious manner while clenching her fists at the air, and was almost laughing at her.
In his prime, he was only on par with Ling Jingxuan. Now he was injured by her and was vomiting blood. Of course he couldn't beat Prince Duan, so why would he use her irrelevant consolation?
So, the male protagonist’s golden thigh is really powerful!
Dugu Yuzhen didn't see what happened between Lin Xiafeng and Ling Jingxuan. Even if he did, he wouldn't be too upset now, because those two were a match made in heaven, as Qin Qingyao had said many times.
Therefore, if a fight really breaks out, it is still uncertain who will win or lose.
Look, Qin Qingyao caused Dugu Yu to suffer internal injuries, so he was doomed to lose. After all, he was the male protagonist, and he was the winner in all important occasions where he showed his dominance!
Dugu Yu decided that he would not fight if he could avoid it. If what this girl said was true and he needed to fight Ling Jingxuan, he would just exchange a few moves and then admit defeat.
Otherwise, the injury will get worse, which is asking for trouble.
Deep down in his heart, he was also afraid that he would come back injured, and Qin Qingyao would be worried when she saw him.
Qin Qingyao sent Dugu Yu out, and when she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something!
A very important thing!
"Hubby, I know you value talent, but your Yanling Army is already very powerful. You have so many talented people under you. You don't need to continue to strengthen yourself, right?"
"At least give others a chance. If you find someone you like, don't extend an olive branch, okay?"
Qin Qingyao said this because she knew that Dugu Yu had received a great general in this competition.
That person was a man of great talent in both civil and military affairs, but Qin Qingyao didn't remember his name.
However, the reason why that person competed so hard was not to catch Dugu Yu's eye, but to catch Ling Jingxuan!
But Dugu Yu happened to take a fancy to him, and Ling Jingxuan ignored him, so he became Dugu Yu's subordinate.
Afterwards, in order to prove his ability to Ling Jingxuan, he tried his best to persuade Dugu Yu to help Prince Duan, and even acted as a pimp for Dugu Yu, telling others how good Prince Duan was.
How worth following!
In the end, he certainly succeeded in attracting the attention of Prince Duan.
He enjoyed all the cultivation given by Dugu Yu, and with Dugu Yu's people, he worked for Ling Jingxuan with a clear conscience.
He also felt that Dugu Yu was not proactive enough towards Prince Duan, and that he was simply not worthy of Ling Jingxuan treating him so sincerely and as a good brother.
Damn, this is the epitome of a ruthless and treacherous person!
But Dugu Yu believed Lin Xiafeng's explanation and believed that what he saw of those two people being shameless was just an accident, and that Prince Duan was an upright gentleman who would never do such a reckless thing!
So Dugu Yu felt that he was too mean. Compared with Prince Duan, he was simply narrow-minded and judged others by his own standards!
Those two people had a misunderstanding, but he didn't. He really realized that his feelings for Lin Xiafeng were not just ordinary friendship, but he had improper thoughts about her!
So he always felt guilty towards his two good friends Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng, and felt that the ungrateful man was right.
Therefore, they turned a blind eye to his betrayal and his obedience to Ling Jingxuan.
It's so infuriating!
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao with an anxious look on her face, as if she would not let him go unless he agreed.
He will go, actually to be a referee. To be promoted to a position under his command out of turn is simply an unexpected surprise and it won't happen easily.
"Okay, I understand."
"Thank you, husband!" Qin Qingyao jumped up excitedly and gave him a kiss.
As soon as Dugu Yu left, Qin Qingyao went back to her parents' home.
She was a social animal. Instead of staying alone in such a huge palace for three days, she might as well take this opportunity to go home and show filial piety to her parents.
Qin Yuelin was not at the Qin family. Although he was not qualified to participate in such an important competition, he would still benefit a lot from going and watching.
"Mom, is Third Brother's back injury completely healed?"
"Who knows? Anyway, he feels that everything is fine."
Mrs. Qin saw that Qin Qingyao was in very good spirits and her personality was as cheerful and lively as before at home. It seemed that she was living well in the palace.
"Yao'er, have you gained some weight?"
"Really? It's obviously because it's cold!"
At noon, none of the men in the Qin family were at the dinner table. Qin Qingyao followed her mother and three sisters-in-law, and her hearty eating was so overwhelming that her mother couldn't stand it.
"Yao'er, do you usually eat so much in the palace?"
No way, she was supposed to eat two bowls of rice in the palace. Today, seeing that her sisters-in-law were eating like cats, she felt embarrassed to serve them more rice, so she ate more vegetables and one bowl less of rice.
Several sisters-in-law covered their mouths and chuckled, "My little sister's face is indeed fatter than before after this trip. It seems that the prince treats me very well."
Madam Qin had a melancholy look on her face. Was it really because the prince treated her badly that she turned her grief and anger into appetite and gave up on herself?
Qin Qingyao was so depressed. She was eating at home, and her husband didn't complain that she ate too much. He even picked up some food for her! It was so cold, how could she survive the winter without gaining some weight?
Then Qin Qingyao's third sister-in-law picked up a piece of fish for her, and she saw a small part of her wrist exposed from her sleeve.
She grabbed her third sister-in-law's wrist and stretched out her own to compare. Wow, you wouldn't know until you compare. After this comparison, everyone at the table burst into laughter!
"Third sister, the prince has been taking good care of you these past few months and you've become plump and white. Mother doesn't have to worry about you getting used to living in the palace!"
Qin Qingyao touched her third sister-in-law's arms, which were so thin that they seemed to break if pinched. Then she touched her own arms, which were so soft that she couldn't even feel the bones!
Can’t eat anymore!
Mrs. Qin saw Qin Qingyao put down her chopsticks, sighed and shook her head. What a silly child! It was a good thing that King Wu Ling had not revealed his intention to take a concubine. If another woman entered the palace, how could she, such a heartless person, survive?
"By the way, mother, how long has my second brother not been back?"
"It's almost the end of the year, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to send him off on some business, so he hasn't been back much lately."
"What could possibly happen to him?"
Aren’t important matters always waiting for Prince Duan to come to the rescue in the end?
"Girls, don't ask about the affairs of the court!"
"What's the big deal? The prince has left court, and he occasionally tells me about the morning court."
Madam Qin gave her three daughters-in-law a look that said, "Pretend you didn't hear anything." She glared at Qin Qingyao and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Never say anything like that again!"
"Yes, yes, I get it!" So many rules! If you don't compare, you won't know how good my prince husband is.
