Qin Qingyao narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Hey, I told you a long time ago, several times!"
I said, I will protect you!
Dugu Yu frowned. Qin Qingyao said so many things to her every day. How could he know which sentence she was referring to now?
"Husband, remember to tell my father to let my second brother leave the prince, the sooner the better!"
"Back then, Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng asked you to marry me, wasn't it to win over the Qin family and make my father give up the Crown Prince and support Prince Duan? I agree, and I will help."
Do you agree? I don't agree!
Dugu Yu was so angry with Qin Qingyao that he didn't want to eat. After Qin Qingyao had eaten and drunk her fill, he went to the study.
The desk was piled high with official documents, but he couldn't pay attention to any of them. He felt upset when he saw the densely packed words on the books.
In his impression, Qin Qingyao has never been a person who gives up or compromises easily, but why did she suddenly change her mind and not only stop being annoyed with Ling Jingxuan but also help him?
What do you mean by the heir to the throne chosen by heaven? Why?
Especially when he thought about how Ling Anli righteously accused Qin Qingyao and Ling Jingxuan of what they did in the Imperial Garden yesterday, he really didn't mind at all at that time, but now, he just had a knot in his heart that he couldn't untie, and he was irritated!
He threw the book in his hand away and tried hard to recall what Qin Qingyao had said to him.
I couldn't remember what her purpose was in doing this, but I remembered that she said Ling Jingxuan was the male lead!
She had said that Ling Jingxuan would definitely accomplish whatever she wanted to do. When he and Ling Jingxuan stood together, he always lost and was always the foil. It was all destined...
Lin Xiafeng already knew that he liked Ling Jingxuan.
So, what about Qin Qingyao?
Will she...
Dugu Yu stood up from the chair and went to the garden but saw no one.
"Where's the princess?"
The gardener replied, "Your Highness, the princess did not come to practice swordplay today."
When Dugu Yu returned to his room, he found that Qin Qingyao had smeared pearl powder on her face again and was applying a facial mask.
I was furious just now, but now I see that I am not so angry anymore.
"Why didn't you practice sword today?"
Qin Qingyao, "I practiced sword before to deal with Ling Jingxuan, but now I don't want to deal with him anymore, so I won't practice anymore."
Dugu Yu, "No, I must practice!"
"ah?"
Dugu Yu stood beside Qin Qingyao with his arms folded, watching her wash her face and then apply some makeup on it, hesitating but still didn't give up his determination. He personally forced her to go to the garden to practice sword.
Qin Qingyao was overwhelmed. "Husband, what are you doing? It's so cold today!"
"Didn't you practice before when it was even colder than today?"
"But I don't want to practice anymore!"
Dugu Yu, "I won't let you give up halfway. If you don't want to practice for Ling Jingxuan, then practice for me. Take the sword!"
Qin Qingyao shuddered at Dugu Yu's scolding. Did he take the wrong medicine today? Why was he so fierce?
I've never seen him so active before. Why does he have to force her to practice sword?
Dugu Yu is not good at expressing himself and doesn't know how to say what he is thinking.
Even if Qin Qingyao racked her brains, she would never know that the reason why he was so actively urging her to practice sword was because he was jealous after letting his imagination run wild.
Under Dugu Yu's full supervision, he worked up a sweat in the cold weather.
When she went to bed at night, Qin Qingyao saw the big red copy of "Dugu Family Rules" posted on the headboard, and took a brush to black out the fourth rule.
Dugu Yu watched her actions silently, curled the corners of his lips coldly, and said nothing.
The fourth rule prohibits Dugu Yu from going to Wangjiang Tower.
At first, she was so serious, afraid that he would not agree, but now she just does it without any hesitation. Are all women in the world like Qin Qingyao, turning against each other without even any foreshadowing or twists?
It seems like she wanted to kick Ling Jingxuan into a rat hole yesterday, but today she is going to fight for him with her whole family. Can you still have some stance?
Dugu Yu was very angry, but he didn't say anything. Just paint it if you want. I won't go to Wangjiang Tower. I'll make you mad to death!
The next morning, after Dugu Yu returned from court, he found that Qin Qingyao was not waiting for him in the yard, but at the gate.
"Why are you outside? It's so cold."
"It's okay, it's not cold. I didn't ask the kitchen to make breakfast today. Honey, let's go to Wangjiang Tower for dinner."
The main reason was that the probability of Dugu Yu meeting Ling Jingxuan by chance when he went to Wangjiang Tower was very high, but it was not certain for her, so she had to drag Dugu Yu along.
Besides, as a married woman, it is impossible for her to have a secret conversation with Ling Jingxuan without Dugu Yu being present. That would be too unreasonable.
But when Dugu Yu heard this, he almost exploded with anger, "I won't go."
Qin Qingyao, "Why?"
Dugu Yu started walking home, not caring if Qin Qingyao followed him or not. "I don't want to eat breakfast."
Qin Qingyao followed Dugu Yu like a little tail, "How can this be? Skipping breakfast is not good for your health."
"Anyway, I'm not going!"
"Then let's eat at home. I'll tell the kitchen to make it quick, okay?"
Dugu Yu said "hmm" in an almost inaudible voice and went back to his room to change clothes.
Qin Qingyao also knew that Dugu Yu seemed to be in a bad mood these past two days, but she didn't know what was wrong, as if he was throwing a tantrum like a child.
But I haven't seen him throw a tantrum and go on a hunger strike to protest against food before?
She went to the kitchen herself and gave some instructions, asking them to make more according to Dugu Yu's taste. Then she returned to the room to look for Dugu Yu and saw someone who had just fallen off the bed.
"Husband, what are you doing? Do you want to sleep?"
Dugu Yu put one hand behind his back and said expressionlessly, "No."
Then he hurried to the small desk and threw the brush hidden behind him into the pen holder in a flash, forgetting to wash the ink off it!
When he went to the cloakroom to change clothes, Qin Qingyao took a look at the bed, but there was nothing there. Why was he climbing on the bed?
Turning around with a puzzled look on her face, she saw that on the ugly and ferocious household rules sheet at the head of the bed, there were a few more lines of small words in the blank space next to the two lines of words that she had blacked out.
Article 4 of the Dugu Family Rules: You are not allowed to help Ling Jingxuan without your husband's permission, and you are not allowed to approach within three meters of Wangjiang Tower without your husband's company!
Qin Qingyao, "..."
Dugu Yu, who said he would not eat, did not eat less breakfast. Qin Qingyao had something to say in her heart, but she was afraid that he would get angry and go on a hunger strike again, so she had to hold it in.
She was very well-behaved throughout the breakfast time and was proactive in picking up food for Dugu Yu.
After dinner, she followed Dugu Yu to the study. The new year had just begun, and Dugu Yu had a lot of work to do.
When they arrived at the study, Qin Qingyao finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Hubby, are you jealous?"
Dugu Yu, "Have you made dumplings?"
Qin Qingyao, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, do you not want me to help Ling Jingxuan?"
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao seriously, then nodded, "Yeah."
Qin Qingyao suddenly leaned forward, staring intently into Dugu Yu's eyes, "Are you afraid that I'll run away with him?"
Dugu Yu: “…”
"You..." He didn't expect Qin Qingyao to be so straightforward. Now that he has been exposed, is he going to admit it?
If you don't admit it, can you keep it secret?
Having a wife who knows everything, sometimes you really don’t have any privacy at all!
Dugu Yu nodded, "Yeah."
“Pfft…hahahahahaha…”
Qin Qingyao held her stomach and laughed uncontrollably. Even the guards outside the door heard the princess's hearty laughter. Their prince could actually make people laugh, and laugh so happily. He has made progress!
Dugu Yu was very embarrassed and serious at first, but when he saw Qin Qingyao laughing non-stop, his face turned red.
"What are you laughing at? Stop laughing!"
Qin Qingyao reached out and grabbed Dugu Yu's neck, "Then I won't laugh if you admit it yourself."
"What do you want me to admit?"
"Admit that you're jealous. Admit that you're afraid I'll run away with someone else!"
Dugu Yu frowned.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Dugu Yu pursed his lips.
"Will you tell me? If you don't, then I will..."
"how?"
Qin Qingyao bumped into Dugu Yu's chest and rubbed it hard, "Then let me say it for you! You just can't bear to leave me! You just cherish me, you just like me, you just can't leave me!"
Dugu Yu's face flushed red and he didn't say anything, but he didn't refute a word either.
Qin Qingyao was self-indulgent enough before she looked up at Dugu Yu and said, "Hubby, you don't have to be jealous of Ling Jingxuan. I like you, only you, and I won't run away with anyone else."
"From now on, even if you feel jealous, you're not allowed to go on a hunger strike again, okay? I'd be so sad if you starved yourself!"
Dugu Yu was embarrassed and annoyed, "When did I start a hunger strike in protest?"
Qin Qingyao patted Dugu Yu's chest, "Okay, okay, you didn't, you didn't, you're the most obedient!"
Dugu Yu, “…”
Although he did not take Qin Qingyao to see Ling Jingxuan and also forbade her to see him on her own, he still listened to Qin Qingyao's words and seriously analyzed Qin Yuelu's future with Minister Qin.
Qin Yuelu is an overly upright person. He sticks to his own ideas, is inflexible, does not understand conspiracies and strategies, and only knows the principles in the books of sages. With this kind of attitude, how can he help the prince to ascend to the throne amidst the conspiracies and intrigues of many princes?
I'm afraid that the prince has not done anything yet, but he has already lost his life. Qin Qingyao will cry to death then!
But Qin Yuelu has been studying with the prince since he was a teenager, and it has been almost ten years now. How could he just leave like that? There must be a suitable reason, right?
Besides, when Qin Yuelu entered the palace, Qin Shangshu was not yet a Shangshu. It took a lot of effort for him to send his son to be a companion to the prince.
Thanks to the good deeds of his ancestors, he not only got in, but also became the prince. What a blessing this is.
Now that he suddenly said he was leaving, even if the prince let him go, Minister Qin couldn't help but feel unwilling.
