Today, since he got up in the morning, he hasn't seen that psychopath Qin Qingyao.
No one sticks to him like a dog-skin plaster, no one nags him incessantly, and no one forces him to do something shameful and stupid.
It’s really great!
The housekeeper was outside the study, "My Lord, it's almost dark, aren't you going to the Qin family to pick up the princess?"
"Maybe she wants to sleep at her parents' house."
Official: “…”
After Qin Qingyao entered the mansion, she was warmly welcomed by everyone because they were all afraid that the princess would be angry and not come back, or that Minister Qin would be angry and not let her come back.
As a result, the princess came back happily without any unhappiness on her face, and everyone was happy.
"I'm so hungry, Mammy, please notify the kitchen and make me some food. By the way, has the prince eaten yet?"
"I've eaten. I'm in the study!"
"Then just make two dishes. Hurry up, I'm hungry!"
"Okay, just wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"
As soon as Qin Qingyao entered the living room, the little girl who threw the flowers today happily brought back two cannas that had just bloomed that day.
"Princess, that hibiscus is not easy to take care of. It's wilted today. Do you think this canna is beautiful?"
"It looks great, it's really well-made, you have good taste!"
The little girl blushed as she took care of the flowers. The two cannas, red as blood, were placed in a white porcelain vase, and they looked really beautiful.
The kitchen staff was reluctant to just cook two side dishes for the princess, so they quickly prepared four dishes and a soup for her, including fish, meat, and her favorite mushrooms.
The food was served, and Qin Qingyao sat on a chair and waited, "Go and call the prince over, and have him eat with me!"
"Uh...Princess, the prince has already eaten."
"I know he's eaten. He watched me eat."
"yes!"
When Dugu Yu heard someone say that the princess was calling him to dinner, he thought he had misheard.
"She's back?"
"Yes, the princess has just returned and is waiting for you in the restaurant."
Dugu Yu listened to the rumors in the morning and at noon, and was so angry that he didn't eat much. In the evening, he had no appetite even when looking at the jade bottle, and he felt hungry as soon as he was mentioned to the restaurant.
So this time Qin Qingyao didn't need to say anything threatening. He got up happily and went to the restaurant.
Qin Qingyao was already eating with four dishes and a soup, using a set of bowls and chopsticks. She didn't even wait for him, nor did she plan to invite him to eat with her!
The servants around her served her with smiles on their faces, vying to serve her food and asking her to eat more.
There were two cannas in the jade vase, with several flowers blooming on the petals. They were a particularly bright red, completely unlike the two ugly, wilted flowers that appeared when facing him.
Dugu Yu felt a sudden surge of anger in his chest. Whose palace was this? The treatment was so disparate!
Seeing Qin Qingyao wolfing down the food with such relish, he thought that the dishes the chef prepared for her might be tastier than those prepared for himself!
That's why he has no appetite at night!
Qin Qingyao saw that he was smiling happily, without any reluctance at all, "Husband, you are here!"
Dugu Yu's whole body was releasing cold air, "Why did you call me here?"
There was no bowl or chopsticks for him on the table. These bold people didn't even let him eat!
"I asked you to come and have dinner with me! But the food the chefs at home made was so delicious that I couldn't resist and ate it myself first, hehe!"
"Swallow it in your mouth before you laugh!"
Qin Qingyao shifted her butt and patted the chair she had vacated, "Come and sit down!"
There is no food for me, so why should I sit? I won’t sit!
Dugu Yu ran to the tea place nearby and sat down. Out of sight, out of mind! Qin Qingyao glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. This will be considered as accompanying her for dinner."
She pulled her chair towards the table by herself, and with the help of the maids around her, she devoured the food and ate it with great relish.
Dugu Yu looked at the rapidly decreasing amount of food on the plate and twitched his lips in disdain. "Why didn't the Qin family invite you to dinner today? You're the reincarnation of a starving ghost!"
But I have to say, smelling the food and watching Qin Qingyao's demeanor of sweeping away everything in her path really makes one's mouth water. Dugu Yu unconsciously swallowed and turned his head away.
This time it really is out of sight, out of mind!
Qin Qingyao was so full that she couldn't eat any more. Looking at the leftovers on the plate, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "Tell the kitchen that they cooked very well. I ate so much by myself. Your Highness is not hungry, so he didn't eat any!"
"yes!"
Dugu Yu really couldn't stand Qin Qingyao's theory. Eating more vegetables is a respect for the kitchen, going to the garden to appreciate flowers is a respect for the gardener, and going home to eat is a respect for home. Why are there so many things?
Qin Qingyao rubbed her bulging stomach, walked over to Dugu Yu, and took his hand. "Husband, I'm so full. Please walk with me. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't digest the food!"
You deserve it! Who told you to eat so much?
Dugu Yu was pulled out by her and walked to the gate of the yard, starting to walk and stop, chanting: "One step, two steps, three steps... ninety-nine steps, it's your turn, my husband!"
Dugu Yu was hungry and in no mood to waste time with someone who was already full, so he said perfunctorily, "One hundred steps!"
"Oh yeah, we have one more guarantee of growing old together!"
Dugu Yu: “…”
"But I'm still feeling strong. Please walk with me for a while. I'll feel uncomfortable if you don't. Let's go to the garden. Did you know that some flowers only bloom at night and close at dawn?"
"Come on, I'll take you to see it!"
This is my palace, my garden, thank you!
The two of them strolled in the garden until almost midnight, when it was time to take a bath and go to bed. Qin Qingyao was very pleased with Dugu Yu's cooperation today, almost obeying his every word. The sadness and grievance of not accompanying her home also completely disappeared.
Dugu Yu is still quite cute even without any plot!
It’s a pity that he is the second male lead, and he has so many plots until he dies in the penultimate chapter. Damn it!
Qin Qingyao was originally very happy, but suddenly she hugged Duguyu's waist and said with a choked voice, "Duguyu, I will definitely protect you!"
Dugu Yu: “…”
This woman is absolutely insane. Who in the world would dare to brazenly claim to protect King Wu Ling? She simply has no idea of her own limitations!
When Qin Qingyao was withdrawing from his arms, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt and almost fell backwards. Dugu Yu quickly caught her.
After Dugu Yu helped her steady herself, he let go of her hand in disgust. This was the woman who had just said she would protect him, haha!
In the evening, Qin Qingyao took a bath first. She had been forcing herself to smile and coaxing her family all day and was really tired, so she fell asleep before Dugu Yu finished taking a bath.
Dugu Yu came out of the shower and stood beside the bed, looking at the woman who was sleeping soundly. He really didn't understand if she was too good at pretending or what.
He didn't accompany her back to her parents' home, and even the servants in the family felt that he was wrong. Don't think he didn't know that, led by the housekeeper and those old maids, they wanted to call him "Princess" ten times a minute in his ears!
He was given a hundred suggestions on how to go to Qin's house to make amends, but he didn't go.
He knew that as a son-in-law, he would be ashamed if he didn't go to Qin's house today, and she would be embarrassed, but for some reason, he had no intention of going to Qin's house at all.
Anyway, they have broken up now, and the Qin family knows that they are not in love at all, so why is this woman still pretending?
He shamelessly spread those shameless rumors, but today when he didn't accompany her back home the rumors were proven false. It was all in vain. He must be very disappointed!
When Qin Qingyao was sleeping, she arched her back towards the bed, reached out her hand and touched something, but felt nothing. She arched her back towards the bed again and felt a wall.
Then she turned over, and continued to grope and arch her body until she reached the edge of the bed.
I don’t know if I’m dreaming or awake, “Hubby, go to sleep~”
Dugu Yu's mouth twitched. Was she looking for him just now?
"Hmph!" Seeing the person rolling to the edge of the bed and about to fall off, Dugu Yu lifted his feet and climbed onto the bed, passed her, and slept inside, far away from her.
When he woke up the next morning, he was lying on his side with his back against the wall, and in his arms was Qin Qingyao, who was curled up in a ball, sleeping soundly on his chest with her little head resting on his chin.
Dugu Yu's face darkened immediately. It was definitely not him who took the initiative to hug her. This woman must have sneaked in while he was asleep! Didn't you see that he was squeezed against the wall?
A certain prince probably forgot that on the first night, because there was an extra person around him and Qin Qingyao was always moving around, he didn't sleep much all night.
But last night, Qin Qingyao snuggled into his arms and pushed him against the wall, so why didn't he wake up once?
Trapped between Qin Qingyao and the wall, he couldn't move at all. He could only turn over with the person in his arms, then roll himself to the outside and slowly remove the arm that was pressed by her.
Qin Qingyao woke up again...
"husband?"
"I'm going to court."
"Oh." Qin Qingyao didn't get up and throw herself into his arms. Instead, she took his hand and kissed the back of it. "Be careful and come back for dinner."
Dugu Yu: Is this a protest against yesterday?
In fact, it was not the case. Qin Qingyao was too sleepy and could not get up. It was not easy for her to say the eight words "Be careful and come back for dinner" and then fall asleep again.
It's really weird. Dugu Yu had a clear conscience the whole day yesterday and was determined not to go to the Qin family. He really didn't think it was a big deal.
But Qin Qingyao didn't pounce on him this morning, which made him feel strange.
Then, when he went out to court, he felt nervous when he thought about his father-in-law and brother-in-law being in the court.
After entering the court, the emperor had not arrived yet, but the Qin father and son had already arrived.
Ever since he visited the Qin family more than a month ago, the father and son have been very warm to him. They just smiled and said hello when they met, but their smiles to him were not the kind of formal and polite smiles.
Instead, he revealed the same stupidity as Qin Qingyao. Not as completely stupid as her, but definitely in the same vein.
Moreover, when talking to him, she likes to pat his shoulders and touch him, which is also very typical of the Qin family.
