I originally wanted to pick up a vase, but then I thought about how much Qin Qingyao loves to grow flowers, so I decided to leave the vase to her.
Prince Yi's family is prosperous and numerous. Not only the peers, but also the elders and the children of the eldest son of the prince's family must prepare gifts.
Logically speaking, since Prince Yi's two sons have been granted the title of Prince, they should go to their fiefdoms.
But because the old concubine was still alive and she liked the feeling of being surrounded by her children and grandchildren, the emperor agreed and the whole family lived in Prince Yi's mansion.
Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, the two princes did not attend court and did not worry much about state affairs on weekdays.
I just do odd jobs for the prince and the princes, and act as a counselor or something.
But that doesn't mean their identities are unimportant. After all, they are of legitimate royal blood. If the old emperor's sons all die, the two brothers still have the right to inherit the throne!
The eldest brother, Ling Jingjue, has already started a family and currently has three sons and two daughters.
The second one, Ling Jingyue, is a bachelor and a nobleman. He is a loyal follower of the heroine. Excluding the big villain, the prince, Ling Jingyue is definitely the third male lead!
Dugu Yu prepared gifts for the old empress dowager, Prince Yi and Ling Jingjue's three sons, and asked Qin Qingyao to prepare gifts for the two girls.
Qin Qingyao had never given anyone a gift before, and didn't know what size the gift should be, so she found two exquisite nanmu boxes and filled them with sea pearls.
Zhaoling State is not near the sea, and all the sea pearls in their country are imported from Qingli State.
Qin Qingyao's pearls were awarded by the emperor and presented to Emperor Zhaoling by the envoys of Qingli Kingdom as a state gift. They are definitely top-notch goods.
It would certainly not be rude to give it to two little girls aged three or five.
The gifts for the elders and juniors have been prepared, and there is one more person, Princess Anli, who calls herself the younger sister.
After all, it was someone else's birthday. When she came today, she had already reminded him personally. How could Dugu Yu not prepare?
but……
Qin Qingyao always said that she knew everything, but there was one thing she was obviously not aware of.
That is, Princess Anli likes Dugu Yu.
If she knew, she would have jumped up and warned him to stay away from An Li.
Not many people knew about this matter, and the old empress dowager and Prince Yi would not allow it, so everyone just pretended that it never happened.
An Li is a sensible person. She is not desperate and just refuses to get married. She behaves the same as usual in her daily life. In front of Dugu Yu, she treats him like a brother and sister, and no one can see any flaws in her.
Sometimes Dugu Yu felt that Princess Anli might really treat him as a brother, rather than liking him.
He didn't know what it felt like to like someone before, but now, with Qin Qingyao by his side, he really understood it better than anyone else.
Having said that, Dugu Yu still felt a little nervous in front of Qin Qingyao, hesitating whether he should tell her about this.
If I don't tell her, she will be furious when she finds out.
But if I tell her, I'm afraid she'll get angry. Seeing Princess Anli, she'll be upset and glare at me, so I'll confront her head-on.
So after thinking about it, he decided to wait until he returned from Prince Yi's Mansion tomorrow.
If she wants to get angry, just be nice to him, he will give in to her in everything.
But if her bad temper caused a conflict with Princess Anli in Prince Yi's Mansion, and the old concubine wanted to punish her, even he, her husband, might not be able to protect her.
Dugu Yu was absent-mindedly rummaging around in the warehouse. He was really not good at giving birthday presents to girls, especially to a girl with such an awkward identity.
Then he saw two butterfly jade pendants in a thick and exquisite wooden box.
It is obvious that these jade pendants are a pair, and the jade is of absolutely top quality. The carving is also extremely exquisite and looks natural.
Dugu Yu took the box out of the storehouse, thinking that he would take this opportunity to use the pair of jade pendants to wish her to find her ideal person as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether she didn't marry for his sake or not, Dugu Yu felt that he should make his attitude clear to Princess Anli again.
I can't let her delay me. After all, she is one year older than Qin Qingyao and will be nineteen after the New Year.
At night, Qin Qingyao was always thinking about the plot that Dugu Yu would be following with Lin Xiafeng tomorrow, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Dugu Yu could see that she was unhappy and thought that she was bothered by the fact that Prince Yi's Mansion sent two invitations.
In the final analysis, it was because he had disrespected and ignored Qin Qingyao before that others did not treat her as a princess. It was all his fault, so he felt very guilty.
Therefore, even though he knew that Qin Qingyao didn't like it very much, he would still take her to Prince Yi's Mansion, and take this opportunity to let those who looked down on her reflect on themselves!
Let’s see how good their relationship is and whether they dare to treat his princess lightly in the future!
The two of them fell into dreams with their own thoughts. As soon as the morning court ended the next day, Dugu Yu hurried home to change clothes.
After finishing the meal, I took the gift and went out with Qin Qingyao. It was snowing lightly.
Therefore, when Dugu Yu went out, in addition to the gifts that the servants held, he also held a large bag in his hand.
Inside was the fur cloak he bought for Qin Qingyao more than a month ago.
But Dugu Yu was always embarrassed to give it to Qin Qingyao in person, so he took it into the carriage and placed it at the innermost seat.
Along the way, he was thinking about what kind of opening remarks he should use to give the cloak he bought to the little girl opposite without making himself too nervous.
Qin Qingyao was in a daze the whole way. She was about to enter the base camp of the heroine's knights. She was so nervous! She was ten thousand times more nervous than entering the palace!
She snatched the second male lead and frantically added more scenes for herself to criticize the female lead. If the old concubine knew about this, she would just snap her fingers and vent her anger on Lin Xiafeng. Wouldn't that be like a piece of cake?
She was so nervous all the way that she didn't notice that the man next to her, who had been married to her for nearly half a year, was so shy that he couldn't even open his mouth to give her a gift in person, and his face turned red from holding it in.
When we arrived at Prince Yi's Mansion, the snow was getting heavier.
The servants helped take out the gifts from the carriage. Dugu Yu was just about to get in to take out the cloak and put it on Qin Qingyao when Ling Jingyue walked out from the gate.
"Prince Wu Ling, grandma was just talking about you. It's cold outside, come in quickly!"
Dugu Yu turned around and said hello to Ling Jingyue, and the carriage carrying his cloak rushed all the way back to the palace.
After all, there were a lot of carriages and horses in front of Prince Yi's mansion today, and they really couldn't delay for too long and block other people's way.
Dugu Yu brought Qin Qingyao and Ling Jingyue into the mansion. Looking at the snow falling heavier and heavier, his mind was full of his cloak.
At this time, a servant came from behind Ling Jingyue to report, "Second Young Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Duan, Prince Ning, and Prince Rui have arrived outside the door."
Ling Jingyue apologized very much and asked her servants to lead the way for Dugu Yu and the others, while she went out to meet the prince.
Dugu Yu finally got some free time and pulled Qin Qingyao under a roof. "Wait here for a while. Don't run around. I left something in the car. Go get it."
Dugu Yu left after he finished speaking, running very fast.
Qin Qingyao suddenly felt extremely cold and helpless, and she and Baizhi and Baiji were shivering under the eaves.
Prince Yi's mansion is very busy today, and the servants are spinning like tops.
So, seeing that Dugu Yu asked Qin Qingyao to wait under the eaves, the servant who was leading the way went to lead others.
Bai Zhi felt cold and angry. "What's wrong with the people in Prince Yi's Mansion? They should at least arrange a warm room for the princess to stay in. They let her stay here in the wind and snow so early in the morning..."
"Okay, Baizhi, stop talking. This is someone else's territory. It's nice to enjoy the snow."
As for Chuxue, if it weren't for the incident at Prince Yi's Mansion, she would definitely have dragged Dugu Yu to accompany her to the garden.
How beautiful it is to see two people shivering and hugging each other for warmth.
But now, seeing Dugu Yu's back as he ran away, Qin Qingyao felt indescribably cold in her heart, even colder than snow.
In the original novel, Dugu Yu was on his way here when he happened to meet Lin Xiafeng, who was bullied by the Lin sisters and kicked off the carriage. He was shivering and struggling to move forward in the snow and ice.
Then, feeling so sorry for her, I took her to buy her a super luxurious cloak that was the most beautiful among all the other ones, which wrapped her up warmly and tightly.
The two of them walked in together, attracting a lot of attention.
They came here together today, but didn't meet Lin Xiafeng on the way. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Dugu Yu ran out again.
This powerful plot is hard to resist!
In fact, the carriage had left not long ago, but the weather was too cold and the driver wanted to go home quickly, so he ran faster. Dugu Yu took a long time to catch up with him.
As soon as I got out of the carriage after getting my cloak, I saw a girl being pushed down from a carriage in front of me, and then she disappeared into the distance.
Isn't that Lin Xiafeng? !
Dugu Yu walked over quickly and pulled Lin Xiafeng up from the snow. The little maid Caiwei beside her was so distressed for her young lady that her nose and eyes were red.
"What's going on?"
Caiwei was filled with righteous indignation. "What else could it be? The Third Miss and the others were jealous that our young lady had received a personal invitation from the old concubine. They said that since she was a private guest, she should go alone and not ride in the Prime Minister's carriage, and then pushed our young lady off!"
Lin Xiafeng brushed off the snowflakes on her dress and said calmly, "Okay, Caiwei, don't be angry. I'm fine. Do you think you can handle it by arguing with them?"
Dugu Yu clenched his fists immediately upon hearing this, "Do they often bully you like this?"
Caiwei, "More than that, they simply..."
"Okay, Caiwei!" Lin Xiafeng glared at Caiwei seriously, successfully making her shut up angrily.
Then she leaned forward slightly towards Dugu Yu and said, "I'm sorry, Caiwei doesn't know the rules and made a fool of herself for Dugu."
Sometimes, when making a complaint, it is important to be brief and rely on the other person's imagination to describe the situation. This is far more effective than saying everything yourself.
For example, now, Dugu Yu feels sorry for Lin Xiafeng, such an elegant and generous woman, who is always torn apart and bullied by those monsters and demons.
