Qin Qingyao turned around and saw Dugu Yu standing behind her. She didn't know how long he had been there.
"Husband!"
Qin Qingyao ran over quickly, intending to hug Dugu Yu's waist, but when she was still two steps away, Dugu Yu had already stretched out his arms and picked her up, like he was holding a child...
Moreover, one hand was protecting the back of her head, preventing her from looking back at Murong Ce.
Therefore, she had no idea what Dugu Yu and Murong Ce exchanged through their eyes.
As he turned to leave, Qin Qingyao finally saw Murong Ce standing still. He waved and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Great Military Advisor!"
Dugu Yu's face turned even darker, and he took bigger steps when walking. Then he turned Qin Qingyao's head over and looked at him.
"My dear, there's frost on your hair."
She reached out to help Dugu Yu remove the spider webs and broken tree leaves from his hair bit by bit.
"When did you come up here?"
He was out running around in the middle of the night!
He really wanted to be angry. Even if he shouldn't disrespect her, shouldn't bring home someone she hated, and shouldn't say hello to her, she couldn't run away from home with another man!
Knowing that it was Murong Ce who took the initiative to look for her, she became even angrier!
However, he heard every word the two people said just now.
Only then did he realize that Qin Qingyao herself understood the deeper meaning behind his marriage to her better than he did.
But she still married him without hesitation and without any grudges.
The Qin family has always been very nice to him. Although he was not used to it at first, now he could go to the Qin family for dinner alone yesterday.
He was unable to refute what Murong Ce and Qin Qingyao said about Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng, because those two people went to his house yesterday to build relationships with him, or to put it bluntly, to win them over.
By the way, he mentioned the Qin family to him in a very subtle way, saying that the Qin family and he were one family, so they should listen to his opinions. Haha, it was obvious that he wanted the Qin family to listen to the opinions of the two of them that he conveyed!
He had no idea that Murong Ce, who was always silent, would actually smile so happily at Qin Qingyao and reveal his true inner thoughts to her.
He doesn't like Prince Duan and Lin Xiafeng, and he hasn't even told his good brother!
Poor Murong Ce would be furious if he knew what Dugu Yu was thinking at this moment. You and I are good brothers who have been through life and death together, but as soon as you left the battlefield, you were fooled around by Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng.
Didn’t I tell you that I don’t like those two people and don’t like you getting too close to them?
Aren't you blind and deaf and can't see it?
Open your eyes and look at yourself. Ever since you started fooling around with those two bastards, how many brothers who have been through thick and thin with you have you alienated? You have alienated everyone who was not wooed by Ling Jingxuan, without exception!
Qin Qingyao had no idea what Dugu Yu was thinking. He held her in his arms, and she was concentrating on helping him comb his hair.
"Husband, the leaves are too dry and have crumbled into my hair. Can I help you wash your hair?"
This was the first time a woman offered to wash his hair. In the past, if anyone dared to touch his head for a long time like Qin Qingyao did, they would be courting death!
Seeing her bright and expectant eyes, Dugu Yu couldn't bring himself to say the word "no need".
"Um."
"Hehe..." Qin Qingyao hugged Dugu Yu's neck and lay on his shoulder, being unbelievably well-behaved.
Dugu Yu felt that he should use his dignity as the head of the family to teach her a lesson, to see if she would dare to run out and not come home all night again!
But thinking that he was in the wrong first, and because he did not send anyone to protect her, she was abducted by Murong Ce, he could not say a word.
Zhao Jinghan went to boil water, and Qin Qingyao took the comb and carefully combed Dugu Yu's hair.
"Husband, your hair is too long, can I help you cut it?"
"Haircut?"
"Well, you haven't had a haircut before, have you?"
Our bodies and hair...are inherited from our parents...
"Cut it."
When Qin Qingyao was in school, she would often help her roommates trim their bangs and split ends.
So, it was no problem to help Dugu Yu trim the ends of his hair. After cutting off about ten centimeters, the quality of his hair looked better and he looked more energetic.
Qin Qingyao mixed hot water and poured it over her hair with a ladle. There were no soap beans for washing hair in the temple, so Dugu Yu had someone pick them at the foot of the mountain and crush them when he came back.
Qin Qingyao's hands were callous-free and very soft. While washing her hair, she imitated the shampooer in the barber shop and massaged Dugu Yu's scalp.
It took me more than half an hour to wash my hair.
"Alright! It's cold outside, you'll catch a cold. Let's go in and listen to the young master chanting. Wait until your hair is dry before going down the mountain."
Dugu Yu was not afraid of catching a cold, but Qin Qingyao, this idiot, got his sleeves and shoes wet while helping him wash his hair. How stupid!
"What are you wearing?"
"I don't know. I woke up early and it was already at the bedside."
How dare you wear clothes prepared for you by another man?
"Change it."
"oh."
Even if Dugu Yu didn't say it, she also wanted to change. It was so cold, and it was better to wear yesterday's dirty clothes than wet clothes!
"Why do you smell so drunk? How much did you drink?"
"I don't know..."
You're so stupid, what do you know?
When he clearly couldn't find her, Dugu Yu was almost going crazy with worry. He blamed himself so much that he wanted to commit suicide by cutting his stomach. But when he found her, he was so angry with this damn woman that he was about to explode!
The two finished their lunch in the temple on the mountain. Qin Qingyao prayed for amulets of peace for the Qin family and the old lady in front of the Buddha before going down the mountain.
When Dugu Yu watched Qin Qingyao kneeling devoutly in front of the Buddha to pray for the Qin family, he felt particularly uncomfortable when he thought of her analyzing with Murong Ce why he married her.
If he followed Ling Jingxuan's arrangement, the Qin family would end up like the "fence-sitter" that Qin Qingyao had predicted.
Was she really not afraid? Wasn't she afraid that he would help Ling Jingxuan harm the Qin family? She always said that she knew more than he imagined.
It turns out, there really are a lot.
Dugu Yu suddenly felt like a rebellious child in front of Qin Qingyao. Qin Qingyao knew everything, but she still tolerated and even indulged him...
Bah, bah, bah, what a crappy metaphor. He is not a naughty kid, he is a great general!
Carriages cannot go on the mountain, and Qin Qingyao was too stubborn to do anything, insisting that Dugu Yu carry her on his back.
Lying on his back, she counted them one by one, "This one is for the old lady, and this one is for my nephew..."
"Why isn't mine?"
"Hehe," Qin Qingyao hugged his neck, "It's useless to pray to the Buddha for your safety. I have to rely on myself!"
Dugu Yu: ...
She nuzzled Dugu Yu's face and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"
Don't overestimate your abilities!
Although he was disdainful in his heart, Dugu Yu's lips curled up unconsciously. This was the second time Qin Qingyao told him that she would protect him.
"By the way, where is Military Advisor Murong?"
The smile that just appeared on his face was shattered in an instant.
"What do you want with him?"
Qin Qingyao patted Dugu Yu's shoulder and said, "People like the Grand Military Advisor should be your close friends. He is much wiser than Ling Jingxuan!"
I really want to throw this dead woman down the mountain!
Prince Wuling asked for leave from attending court because he wanted to accompany the princess to the mountain to worship Buddha. This really surprised all the civil and military officials in the court.
Ling Jingxuan's face is so beautiful.
He had agreed with Dugu Yu that he would discuss the conscription with the emperor today, but Dugu Yu agreed in person, but in the end he simply didn't come to court?
Even though he and those people in the Ministry of War who didn't have to go to the battlefield were talking dryly, General Yang still voted firmly and resolutely against it. The result was of course a complete failure.
Now that it’s Huang, don’t even think about bringing up the issue of increasing the number of conscriptions in front of the emperor again this year!
When they arrived at the palace gate, Dugu Yu directly took Qin Qingyao off the horse and carried her all the way to the bedroom.
"Take a shower and change those clothes that smell of alcohol!"
"oh!"
Even though Qin Qingyao was so obedient, Dugu Yu still grumbled in dissatisfaction, "I haven't seen you drink so much even at the wedding wine ceremony!"
"Didn't you want to drink the wedding wine?" How dare you blame her?
"I don't want to drink? What if you took off your veil yourself?"
"Hey, weren't you indifferent when we got married? Why are you bringing up the past now? Are you in love with me?"
"I don't want to bother with you!"
Dugu Yu turned around and left, but Qin Qingyao jumped onto his back like an octopus and wouldn't get off.
"Kiss me before you leave."
Dugu Yu: “…”
"Go down."
"No."
"Get down!"
"I won't, I won't, I won't!"
The servant who brought in the hot water passed by the two of them with his head down the whole time, so I didn't see a thing...
After everyone left, Dugu Yu finally succumbed to Qin Qingyao's shameless tyranny. He turned his head, but before he could prepare himself mentally, Qin Qingyao had already approached him.
A servant stood at the door with a bucket of cold water, bewildered. Should he come back later?
Dugu Yu heard the sound of water sloshing around in the bucket outside the door, and finally pulled Qin Qingyao off him before he lost control.
Seeing her moist lips, blurry eyes and satisfied smile like a crazy fan, I almost gave up. Instead of throwing her back to the bathroom, I carried her directly to the bed.
"Take your bath!"
Dugu Yu threw Qin Qingyao back and left without looking back.
Qin Qingyao sat on the chair, feeling extremely discouraged. When would her husband's impotence be cured?
In another courtyard, Dugu Yu was also taking a bath... a cold bath...
After he calmed down, he called Zhao Jinghan and said, "Send four of your men to the princess to protect her safety."
"yes!"
"Do Baizhi and Baiji know martial arts?"
"Yes."
"Find out their backgrounds. If they are suitable, have them trained. Don't keep half-baked useless people around the princess!"
"yes!"
Zhao Jinghan left the study, still thinking about his own prince's order. He was venting his anger on himself. He had angered the princess and left, and now he blamed the Bai sisters for not taking good care of her. Tsk tsk...
