"Make way."
Yu Shuo came over but didn't receive any kindness; instead, he was complained about for blocking the light.
He touched his nose and moved aside a little, but still craned his neck to look. What on earth was making her so focused?
Seeing that it was getting late, he stepped forward and grabbed Qin Su's arm, saying, "We can talk about it tomorrow. It's too late."
After observing for so long, Yu Shuo roughly understood that the two were planning to make weapons. As for why they wanted to make weapons, he didn't know, but he didn't want to interfere.
The women in the backyard mostly entertained themselves with embroidery, banquets, and playing musical instruments, but Qin Su had never been interested in these things. As for martial arts, her injuries had not yet healed, so how could she be forced to do something that she was interested in but would not reopen her wounds?
Qin Su then noticed that Yu Shuo had returned. She rubbed her temples and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's Hai Shi (9-11 PM)." Yu Shuo gestured for Lian Tao to go back first.
Seeing that it was indeed late, even Tao didn't want to disturb Qin Su's rest. Besides, Qin Su planned to go to the poetry gathering tomorrow, and if she slept too late, she might not be able to get up tomorrow.
Even if they get up, they will probably be exhausted.
Seeing Lian Tao leave, Qin Su went over and tidied up the table.
"What are you planning to do with this?" Yu Shuo also helped her pack. He just separated the blueprints and materials, worried that he wouldn't know which parts were which and that Qin Su and the others wouldn't be able to find them later.
Qin Su stretched her body and moved her limbs, which felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. "A kind of small weapon, called a sleeve dart, is suitable for assassination."
Yu Shuo didn't press Qin Su about why she knew about such a thing, assuming it was just a relatively niche weapon in the martial arts world.
"Go wash up first. I've already had the water ready." He gently pushed Qin Su towards the bath.
Although she said she was washing up, Qin Su could only wipe herself lightly, as her ruptured wound couldn't get wet.
Sitting on the bed, Qin Su, dressed in a moderately thick undergarment, remembered the invitation that Steward Zhang had brought earlier that day and mentioned it to Yu Shuo.
She really didn't know anything about this Prince of Minzhou. What if there were some hidden secrets that she didn't know but Yu Shuo did?
Yu Shuo paused for a moment as he covered her with the blanket, then quickly lifted it up and pulled her into his arms. "If you don't want to go, then don't go. The Prince of Minzhou has almost faded from the center of power."
“I just find it strange that he would send me an invitation. We clearly have no connection whatsoever…” At this point, she suddenly sat up straight and stared at Yu Shuo, “We have no connection, but that doesn’t mean we have no connection.”
"It's not a good intersection. Susu, don't worry about it, I'll handle this."
Qin Su didn't take it seriously.
"Take a rest, you must be tired too."
Qin Su did indeed feel somewhat tired.
When I first started researching hidden blades, I just thought they were very ingenious and interesting. The more I studied and experimented, the more interested I became, the less I paid attention to the time, and the less tired I felt.
Now that I'm resting, I feel extremely tired.
She hugged Yu Shuo's slender waist and nestled obediently in his arms to rest.
I slept without any dreams.
When Qin Su opened her eyes, Yu Shuo had already gotten up and was changing clothes with his back to her.
Qin Su simply turned over and rested her chin on her hand to look at him.
Hmm~ Broad shoulders, narrow waist, muscles that aren't overly exaggerated, but you can still feel their explosive power. Yu Shuo is clearly the type who looks slender when clothed, but when he takes his clothes off, the muscles he hides are still quite obvious.
Seemingly noticing Qin Su's attention, Yu Shuo turned his head to look. Seeing that she didn't even blink, his hand pausing slightly as he fastened his belt, but he quickly finished dressing and walked over.
"If Your Highness still wants to see, it will be evening." He pulled the blanket up slightly. "It's still early, Your Highness, sleep a little longer. I'll have Chongyang take you there later."
Heshan Academy is located in the suburbs of Beijing, not far away, and it's quick to get there by official road.
Qin Su shook her head. "I'm not going to sleep."
Hearing her say that, Yu Shuo reached out and picked her up, saying, "Then I will help you get dressed, my lady."
"Go ahead and get busy. I know you've been busy lately."
"Even if you're busy, a little extra time won't make a difference." With that, he pushed over a floor-standing clothes rack, on which hung several outfits that Qin Su usually wore. "Which one would you like to wear today?"
Qin Su thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep it simple."
She usually likes to show off, and her clothes are all red, and most of them are cross-collar and waist-length, which is suitable for people who practice martial arts.
Today is a poetry gathering, and those scholars don't like to be ostentatious, so let's dress simply.
Yu Shuo's understanding of simplicity is not much different from that of ordinary people, but he thinks that Qin Su's "simple" attire probably means that there are fewer decorations on the red dress.
I initially considered giving her a waist-length, cross-collar style, but then felt it inappropriate and found a matching jacket and skirt instead. The jacket was mostly red, embroidered with white plum blossoms and butterflies, while the skirt was a pale yellow, giving it a fresh and delicate feel.
"Make sure the jacket and skirt are loose so they don't press too hard against the wound."
He paused for a moment, then said, "If anything happens, let Chongyang handle it. Don't resort to violence."
Her wound reopened when she killed Xue Huai'an last time, and Yu Shuo didn't want it to keep recurring.
"good."
Qin Su readily agreed.
She thought Yu Shuo was just picking out clothes for her and would leave soon. Unexpectedly, he pressed her against the dressing table, seemingly intending to comb her hair.
"No, do you know how?" Qin Su pressed down on the ivory comb and waved her hand. "Let Aci do it. She's always good at combing hair."
Yu Shuo pulled out a comb. "I, your husband, at least went to learn how to use it properly, okay?"
Qin Su didn't believe him, but she didn't want to have an unpleasant argument with him over such a small matter, so she let him comb his hair.
I figured if it really didn't work out, I'd just go later.
She stared at the person in the mirror, watching Yu Shuo do it... and it actually worked!
"How is it?" Yu Shuo asked her while looking at the person in the mirror.
Qin Su in the mirror wasn't wearing makeup yet, but she was already naturally beautiful, and even without makeup, she was stunningly gorgeous.
Yu Shuo styled her hair in the "Startled Swan" bun, and it was indeed beautiful. If she were the one doing it, it definitely wouldn't be as meticulous.
A large, slender, fair hand pulled a hairpin from its bosom. The hairpin was crescent-shaped and adorned with pinkish pearls, but the main body was made of mother-of-pearl.
"When did you buy it?" She had never seen this hairpin before, nor did she seem to have seen it on the street.
Yu Shuo arranged the hair ornaments for her, but then felt they were a bit plain. He picked out other hair ornaments from the dressing case to match, almost going through the process repeatedly, before finally saying, "Chongyang said he bought them a long time ago. He wanted to give them to you before he went to war."
Yu Shuo still doesn't remember the year they got married, but when he saw the hairpin, he immediately thought it was a gift for Qin Su.
There couldn't possibly be anything belonging to other women here.
Qin Su reached out to touch it, a hint of a smile appearing in her eyes. "It's very beautiful, I like it very much."
Yu Shuo was about to apply makeup to her when Qin Su shook her head, "Just a little lip rouge will do."
It's not that she doesn't love beauty, but she knows that cosmetics contain a lot of things that are bad for the skin, so it's better not to wear makeup at all.
