He also loves to ask him for help and order him to do things. His annoying look, as if he is not an outsider, is exactly the same as Qin Qingyao!
After more than a month, he got used to it no matter how uncomfortable he was.
Today, as soon as he entered the court, the atmosphere seemed a little subtle, and everyone quietly stepped away from him.
Although it was like this before, it seemed to be different a few days after he got married. People led by the Yang family and the Qin family all liked to get close to him.
At least smile and say hello or something.
But not today. The atmosphere in the court today was exactly the same as the one when he returned to the palace from outside yesterday.
These colleagues treated him like the servants in the mansion. They could not find fault with them, but they made it clear to him that they were distancing themselves from him.
He never minded it before, but he didn't know why he felt a little uncomfortable today, probably because he didn't have enough food to eat last night.
He was ready to greet the smiling faces of the Qin family father and son as usual, and then say hello to them, but Qin Yuefeng bowed slightly when he was still five steps away, "Good morning, Your Highness!"
The one with the blank expression and the one who was perfunctory, let alone making any physical moves, was basically warning him not to come any closer!
Minister Qin was even more direct. He stood in his own position the whole time, as if he was concentrating on waiting for the emperor to come, and didn't even glance at him.
Dugu Yu felt unhappy throughout the entire morning court session. He knew that he had done something wrong. If today was the day to return home, he would definitely go with Qin Qingyao.
But the three-day visit to the parents’ home means three-day visit, this is the rule, there is no four-day visit!
Dugu Yu had no concept of admitting mistakes or apologizing. As a prince, his high and mighty status did not allow him to take the initiative to show goodwill to the Qin father and son.
So the situation is, if you ignore me, I will ignore you!
After leaving the court, the Qin father and son left the palace together without even saying goodbye.
Only then did Dugu Yu notice that neither the Minister of Personnel nor the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple was a hundred times busier than him, the general in peacetime.
Why do they insist on going home to eat and sleep every day? With so many people in the Qin family, it is definitely impossible for each person to have their own table. They must eat together at a large table.
Don’t you think it’s a waste of time? Why?
But did they waste their time? No, didn't they do their job better than anyone else?
He was in a daze when General Yang passed by him. He took the initiative to speak, "General Yang."
General Yang, who had already walked over, had no choice but to turn back and ask, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
"fine."
Didn't you set this stupid rule of greeting each other when meeting without his permission?
General Yang didn't even raise his head. "If your Highness has nothing else to do, I'll go home first. My old lady got angry yesterday and is still lying in bed!"
No wonder General Yang didn't even bother to look at him today. It turned out that Old Lady Yang was so angry with him that she fell ill.
Why did she become sick because of him? He felt that no one else could make her so angry.
Dugu Yu was in a daze that morning. He left the palace and walked on the street, hearing people whispering or laughing at him.
It was still about the Wuling Palace, but it was no longer about how much the prince doted on the princess, but rather that the prince had never loved the princess at all.
The talk about him being brave and mighty on his wedding night never happened, and the talk about him loving the princess deeply was all a lie.
Prince Wu Ling would rather hang out outside alone than accompany the princess back home. Yet there are still people spreading rumors that they have a good relationship. They have been slapped in the face!
Dugu Yu was very angry, yes, angry!
Yesterday, he heard rumors all over the street about how he doted on Qin Qingyao. He just thought it was funny and absurd, but he didn't get angry.
But after hearing these words today, he was not only very angry, but also wanted to hit someone!
Is he that bad?
How could he let Qin Qingyao stay alone in her empty room every night?
When did he stay away from home?
He was clearly watching her eating alone last night, and he was even hungry while helping her digest the food!
But he couldn't hit anyone, nor could he argue with those people who gossiped about him. It was an ironclad fact that he didn't go to the Qin family yesterday.
Wherever he went, there were people buzzing around, each one more outrageous than the last. Dugu Yu decided to go home quickly and get some quiet time.
As soon as he entered the door, his first reaction was to look at the steps of the pavilion. There was no one sitting there with their heads in their hands waiting. He didn't know whether he was relieved or what he felt.
As soon as I walked in and went down the stairs, Qin Qingyao was behind a bush not far from the pavilion. She was wearing a simple dirty apron, holding a shovel in one hand and a piece of grass in the other, and her hands were covered in dirt.
After seeing him, she rushed over with a smile as beautiful as a flower and hugged him.
Dugu Yu was extremely disgusted, "You have soiled my court dress."
Qin Qingyao grinned, "Wash yourself~"
"Are you busy with work today? If not, come and help me pick some wild vegetables. I found a lot of wild vegetables at home. They are all natural and pollution-free!"
"Can't afford to buy vegetables at home?" If you sell one of your flower vase, it will be enough to buy you enough food for thirty years.
"Each dish tastes different!" She stepped out of Dugu Yu's arms and showed off the grass in her hand. "This is called bitter herb. It tastes a little bitter and can clear away heat and reduce internal heat!"
"I also saw a lot of shepherd's purse. I'll dig up some more and we'll make dumplings to eat tonight. They're so delicious!"
The legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, Princess Wuling, actually eats bitter wild vegetables. She is really sick!
"You should eat more shepherd's purse. It's good for your eyes because it clears the liver and improves eyesight. You stay in the study reading every day, so be careful not to hurt your eyes."
Dugu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to her.
After Qin Qingyao handed the task of digging wild vegetables to the two maids, she took Dugu Yu's arm and went to the restaurant to eat. She felt embarrassed to hold his hand because she knew her hands were too dirty.
Dugu Yu gave her a look that said, "You know you're dirty too." What princess would be so dirty and grimy digging for food in the dirt? Enough!
Qin Qingyao washed himself carefully before coming to the living room, where he found Dugu Yu waiting for him. Grateful, he rushed over to him, lying in his arms and kissing him on the face.
"You waited for me to eat today! That's great, give me a reward!"
Dugu Yu felt that he and Qin Qingyao would never be able to agree on the same ideas in this life. Everything he took for granted, she firmly opposed, and everything she thought was the truth, he thought was nonsense.
All her self-righteous rewards were torture and torment to him. Why would someone like to spit on another person's face? There's something wrong!
When the two of them eat now, they no longer need to compete with each other in wits and courage like in a war, and Qin Qingyao doesn't need to preach in a rage. Dugu Yu knows which dish she wants with just a glance from her.
I even picked up some food for her, but she would steal it from his bowl from time to time. How could there be such a disgusting person!
"Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"
Huh? This is the first time Dugu Yu has taken the initiative to ask about her whereabouts!
"No, why, do you have any plans?"
Dugu Yu wanted to ask her if she could accompany him to the Yang Mansion to see the old lady who was suffering from a heart attack, but he was definitely not the type to ask for help, so he said coldly, "Come with me to the Yang Mansion."
"Yang Mansion? What are you doing? I still need to dig wild vegetables!"
"Go see the old lady."
Qin Qingyao's reaction far exceeded Dugu Yu's expectations. She was so happy that she jumped up from her chair.
"Okay, then I'll quickly go dig some more bitter melons, wash them, and bring them to the old lady to try!"
After Qin Qingyao finished speaking, she left Dugu Yu in the restaurant and ran away. She didn't stick to him or wait for him to leave, nor did she insist on seeing him off to the study door.
This woman is still fussing over what happened when she returned home yesterday!
Dugu Yu returned to the study, and the housekeeper came to ask, "What do we do with the return gifts that the princess prepared? Do we put them into storage?"
Dugu Yu, "She didn't bring it back?"
Wasn't that something she carefully selected herself?
"No, the princess didn't bring anything with her. She only brought two maids, Baizhi and Baiji. She hired a humble carriage and left quietly."
"I didn't ask the Qin family to send me back when I came back. I came back in an inconspicuous carriage after dark."
Do you need to emphasize twice that it is insignificant?
Dugu Yu couldn't concentrate on reading because of the housekeeper's distraction. He thought that Qin Qingyao was too high-profile in public and that was why everyone knew that he didn't accompany her back home.
The result is not at all.
She had tried her best to keep a low profile. If he hadn't shown off in public, no one would have known that he didn't go to the Qin family.
The reason why the butler specifically mentioned it today and emphasized twice that it was insignificant was to tell the prince that he had also heard the rumors outside.
But he knew very well that the rumor about the loving relationship was half spread intentionally by the servants in their palace to give the princess face, and half was happily fanned by the princess herself.
But the rumor that the prince doesn't take the princess seriously at all, and that she is sent to the cold palace as soon as she enters the palace and doesn't even bother to go back home, has nothing to do with the princess. It was made up by you, the prince.
You are so idle that you just wander around outside and let everyone stare at you, instead of going to the Qin family. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for the Qin family? You slap someone in the face and then step on him in a show of force.
How unfair!
Dugu Yu finally understood why the Qin father and son suddenly treated him as an outsider again, and also understood why Old Lady Yang became sick from anger.
It would be fine if he didn't go to the Qin family, but it was really too much for him to show off outside.
He put down his book and walked out, feeling irritated wherever he went. "Where's the princess?"
"Digging wild vegetables in the garden."
He walked to the garden with his hands behind his back, and saw Qin Qingyao running around with a basket full of wild vegetables from a distance.
Those who accompanied her in digging wild vegetables included maids, servants and gardeners.
"Princess, there are so many wild vegetables in spring, and they are so fresh and tender. This garden has been fertilized constantly, so they have grown so fat. But I threw them away before. If you like to eat them, I will save them for you next spring!"
"Okay, from now on just remove the weeds and keep the wild vegetables!"
"Okay!"
"Princess, there's a huge bitter melon here!"
Qin Qingyao ran over happily carrying a small shovel and a basket.
