As he wiped the food, he said to the diners at the stall with a beaming face, "Who says the prince doesn't really like the princess? If he doesn't like her, can he come and buy wontons for her in person early in the morning?"
"Those who talk nonsense behind her back are just jealous of the princess's favor."
"My wonton stall has witnessed the love and affection between Prince Wu Ling and his wife all the way to this day!"
"Let me tell you, on the day the prince and princess got married..."
…
Qin Qingyao was still asleep when Dugu Yu returned home. Afraid that the wontons would be cold and not tasty, Dugu Yu took them directly to Qin Qingyao's bedside. His voice, calling her to get up and eat, was so gentle that it could drown one.
However, Qin Qingyao shrank back into the quilt reflexively.
Dugu Yu, “…”
How could he be so scary?
"Qingqing, get up and eat. I bought you wontons. Do you want some?"
Qin Qingyao ignored her, and then Dugu Yu sat at the head of the bed, holding her and the quilt in his arms. One hand protected her, and with the other hand he took a spoon and scooped a wonton under her nose and shook it, "Are you really not going to eat it?"
Qin Qingyao was struggling in her mind, wondering whether she was more sleepy or more hungry.
Then, just as Dugu Yu stuffed the wonton into his mouth, he saw the person in his arms tilting his little head back, looking at him with confused and dissatisfied eyes.
Dugu Yu: “…”
He rolled his throat and swallowed the wonton in his mouth without chewing it.
Then he quickly scooped another one and handed it to Qin Qingyao's mouth, "You eat it."
The two of them shared a bowl of wontons, and Qin Qingyao's sleepiness was completely gone, but not only was he not full, he felt even hungrier.
After getting up and washing up, Dugu Yu ordered someone to send the bowls and food boxes of wontons back to the wonton stall.
After the two of them finished their meal, Qin Qingyao was just about to go out for a romantic stroll, because the previous Laba farce would definitely be discussed by many people.
She has to direct Xiao Tiantian and the others to help guide public opinion, and by the way, pull Dugu Yu out to show their love, so that everyone can see who is the real boss!
As a result, just after finishing breakfast, a servant came to the gatehouse to report that the second son and sixth daughter of the Lin family had arrived.
Qin Qingyao, "..."
In the original novel, Lin Xiafeng came alone on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, wearing a cloak.
It's the tenth day of the lunar month, why is she here? And she brought her second brother with her?
Speaking of Lin Boyan, the second brother of the Lin family, he is definitely a man with vision.
He was the only one among the many children of the Lin family who did not bully Lin Xiafeng when she was down and out, and even helped her several times.
Therefore, now that Lin Xiafeng has risen to prominence, he has been given a lot of support. Thanks to his sister, he has many opportunities to show up in front of His Royal Highness Prince Duan.
But he and Dugu Yu were not really familiar with each other. Apart from Prince Duan Ling Jingxuan, Lin Xiafeng basically kept Dugu Yu firmly in his hands and did not bring any other friends to him.
Qin Qingyao yawned. She felt sleepy after eating. Seeing the heroine's performance, she might as well go back to sleep!
Moreover, according to the original plot, she would be "instructed" by Lin Xiafeng today. She has no masochistic tendencies, so why would she go there?
As a result, Qin Qingyao, who was about to slip away, was firmly grabbed by Dugu Yu and led to the reception hall.
"Hubby, they're here to find you, why are you pulling me here?"
"Since there are female guests, it is natural that you, the hostess, should be present."
The corners of Qin Qingyao's mouth couldn't stop twitching. She wondered if her husband still remembered how she got furious last time because Lin Xiafeng entered the palace without greeting her.
But things have changed today!
Qin Qingyao was dragged away by Dugu Yu in a listless manner. It seemed that she could not escape from today's plot. She dug a hole and buried herself in it. It was her fault for acting like that in the past. She deserved it!
As soon as she entered the room, the first thing Qin Qingyao saw was a large bundle placed on the small coffee table next to Lin Xiafeng. Needless to say, it was definitely the cloak that Dugu Yu gave her.
"Greetings, Prince Wu Ling, Princess. Please forgive me for interrupting you so hastily!"
Qin Qingyao rolled her eyes. "When have you ever come here without interrupting me? When have you ever come here without sending me a post in advance?"
Dugu Yu, "No problem, is there anything wrong with you two?"
Lin Boyan smiled at Dugu Yu in a friendly manner and said, "My little sister is shy and feels embarrassed to come to my house to thank me, so she asked me to accompany her!"
Lin Xiafeng gave his second brother a reproachful look, then placed his hand on the bag containing the cloak, and looked at Dugu Yu with a look of gratitude and guilt.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping Feng'er out the other day. Otherwise, I would have made a fool of myself in Prince Yi's mansion."
"Your Highness, I am deeply grateful for your generous help, but I cannot accept gifts without merit. This snow wolf fur cloak is truly precious, and I dare not take it away, so I am asking my brother to accompany me to return it to you."
Although she knew the whole plot, Qin Qingyao was still furious. She said she came to return the cloak, but why did she feel that Lin Xiafeng came to show off to her?
In the original novel, Miss Qin San never left the gate of Prince Wuling's Mansion and never went to Prince Yi's Mansion, so she had no idea about the cloak.
It was Lin Xiafeng's unnecessary trip that made it known to everyone in Prince Wuling's Mansion, making Miss Qin San jealous and angry, so much so that she went crazy and decided to make things difficult for the heroine.
The final result, of course, was that he was slapped in the face and returned home empty-handed!
Moreover, Dugu Yu did not take back the cloak, but coaxed and begged Lin Xiafeng to wear it again!
Damn!
The more Qin Qingyao thought about it, the angrier she became, and she didn't even notice what the three people were saying.
The servants brought the tea and she took it and put it into her mouth. However, the freshly brewed tea was so hot that she almost doubted her life. With a "puff", she spat out the whole tea she had just poured into her mouth.
Because she moved too much, her hand shook and the tea in the cup scalded her hand. She screamed in pain and threw the cup away.
This series of accidents caught everyone off guard. Dugu Yu stood up from his chair and blew on Qin Qingyao's scalded hand several times before he had time to speak.
"Is your mouth okay? Did you burn it? Open your mouth so I can see!"
Qin Qingyao's upper jaw was burned and peeled, his tongue was numb and had no feeling, and his claws were burning with pain.
She was gasping for breath and had no time to answer Dugu Yu, nor could she say the insincere "It's okay".
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao's tears rolling in her eyes, and he was so distressed that he quickly ordered, "Come here, quickly get a basin of cold water and some ointment for the burns!"
Qin Qingyao couldn't help but complain after catching her breath, "What kind of tea is this? Why is it so hot?"
The bewildered maids nearby fell to their knees, "This servant deserves death, please punish me, Princess!"
Lin Xiafeng quickly stood up and asked, "Is the princess okay?"
"This is the Tuo tea I brought today to thank His Majesty for his help. It must be brewed with boiling water to fully appreciate its flavor."
"I forgot to remind Princess just now. It is really my fault. If Princess wants to blame me, I will bear the responsibility. Please spare these innocent maids!"
Qin Qingyao's eyes were filled with tears from the pain, and her tongue was numb, so she didn't even want to argue with Lin Xiafeng. Which of your eyes saw that she was going to punish the servants, so why did you come out and pretend to be a good person?
What's more, all of this was caused by you in the first place, and has nothing to do with others. She knows it better than anyone else, and she doesn't need you to remind her!
Dugu Yu looked at Qin Qingyao, whose chest was heaving with anger and whose face was full of indescribable frustration, and he knew that she was very unhappy with Lin Xiafeng.
"Miss Six, you're worrying too much. This was just an accident. The princess has no intention of blaming anyone. I still need to take the princess to get medicine, so I won't see her off. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality!"
Dugu Yu's sudden departure left Lin Xiafeng and Lin Boyan at a loss.
They haven't even said a few words yet. If they leave so soon, what will people say if they see them?
Do you think they were directly kicked out of Prince Wuling's Palace?
In fact, the reason they came here today was to shut up the world and to restore Lin Xiafeng's precarious reputation.
So she brought Lin Boyan to return the cloak in a grand manner, just to tell everyone that she, Lin Xiafeng, did not take anything from King Wu Ling.
Of course, if she was really kicked out, then the romantic rumors between her and Dugu Yu could be completely debunked, but as the heroine, doesn't she have to save face?
She wanted everyone to see that she was clear-minded and pure, and that the relationship between her and King Wu Ling was absolutely a gentlemanly one, with no compromise whatsoever!
But she didn't want people to mistakenly think that King Wu Ling looked down on her!
Which gentleman would drive someone out of their friendship?
However, Dugu Yu did not give the brother and sister another chance to perform. Without waiting for the servants to bring water or medicine, he directly carried Qin Qingyao back to the room.
Baiji hurried over with a basin of cold water, only to see an empty hall...
Qin Qingyao only injured her mouth and hands, and her legs and feet were not injured. Seeing Dugu Yu holding her and running back to the room, the servants were frightened and thought something had happened to the princess.
There are various medicines for injuries in their room.
Anyway, there has never been a shortage of these things in Prince Wu Ling's Mansion. Now they have just been moved from the study to the bedroom.
Dugu Yu applied medicine on Qin Qingyao's hand with such care, as if he was afraid of breaking her skin.
Seeing such a mighty and strong man doing such gentle and delicate work, Qin Qingyao's heart melted into a pool of spring water and her little face flushed.
I'm not that angry anymore after being tricked by Lin Xiafeng.
"You're just going to let them go?"
Dugu Yu frowned and thought for a moment, "Should I invite them to dinner?"
After all, they brought gifts.
But then he thought about it, Qin Qingyao had injured her hand, and he still had to feed her at noon, so it would be inconvenient to have outsiders around.
So before Qin Qingyao could say anything, he added, "Forget it."
Then they quickly bandaged Qin Qingyao's hand to make it look like she was seriously injured and disabled, saying that they were afraid she would be careless and rub the wound and the skin would peel off.
Except for the lack of a bow, it looks much better than the one Qin Qingyao made herself!
Fortunately, it is winter now, so no matter how thick the dumplings are, they will not be cooked.
