Chapter 281 The Village Beauty Who Falsely Claims Favors in a Farming Story (28)
What Zhao Ce meant by "playing" was just playing with it in the study room and not taking it away.
Su Yu: “…” It was all in vain.
After the night before yesterday, Zhao Ce seemed to have unlocked some kind of seal. Before, he would get hot in his ears just by kissing or hugging, but now he holds Su Yu in his arms and touches her all over without any scruples. He has grown very fast.
Su Yu blushed and twisted her body: "Itchy."
"Where is the itch? Let me rub it for you."
Su Yu: "...the place you rub is itchy."
Zhao Ce paused, silently took his hand away from her waist, and held Su Yu's hand instead: "This word is not written like this, I will teach you."
Su Yu's personal desk became a decoration, and Zhao Ce taught her calligraphy step by step.
Su Yu was absent-minded and glanced at the seal from time to time.
"I heard that you went to Wuweizhai today." Zhao Ce suddenly spoke during a break in calligraphy practice.
Su Yu paused for a moment, her heart suddenly beating rapidly.
"Yes, yes, I want to eat boiled pork slices."
The two of them were almost pressed against each other, and Zhao Ce instantly noticed that Su Yu's body was stiff.
She is lying.
Zhao Ce's eyes dimmed, and he said calmly: "The doctor said that you are weak, so it is better to eat less spicy food."
Su Yu nodded randomly, just wanting to change the subject as quickly as possible: "I understand."
Whenever this topic was mentioned in the past, she would mostly refute and had never been as obedient as she is now.
Abnormally obedient.
Zhao Ce suppressed the inquiry in his eyes and continued to ask, "Did you see anything interesting in Wuweizhai today?"
Su Yu immediately shook her head: "No, just a meal."
Zhao Ce held Su Yu's hand and paused for a moment. An ink spot soon appeared on the paper, and the calligraphy was ruined.
Zhao Ce didn't comment: "Really?"
He changed a new piece of paper and held Su Yu's hand again. Her spring clothes were thin, and they held each other so closely that the temperature between them rose unconsciously.
Su Yu’s face was red, perhaps because of the heat or nervousness.
She changed the subject, her voice soft and sweet, as if she was acting like a spoiled child: "My Lord, my clothes are still with you, when are you going to return them to me?"
Zhao Ce raised his eyes and followed her wishes, saying, "What if I say I don't want to return it?"
Su Yu's cheeks puffed up: "That's mine."
"What a joke! How did something in my palace become yours?"
Such shameless words coming out of Zhao Ce's mouth did not make people feel disgusted. Instead, they revealed an arrogant and domineering attitude and were full of hormones.
Su Yu retorted in a low voice: "You can't wear it."
Zhao Ce lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then said meaningfully: "I can't wear it, but I can keep it for someone who can wear it."
“Who is the one who can wear it?”
Zhao Ce leaned close to her ear and said, "What do you think?"
Su Yu dodged in a very unromantic way: "Don't blow into my ears, it's itchy."
Zhao Ce: “…”
Su Yu rubbed her ears, and when the red blush on her face faded away, she belatedly asked, "Wear it for me?"
Zhao Ce hummed.
Zhao Ce was very gentle and patient today. Even though Su Yu was being naughty and saying her wrists were sore, he did not force her to continue practicing calligraphy. Instead, he wrapped his big hands around her tender little hands and massaged them slowly.
"Ayu." Zhao Ce paused for a second, "Can I call you that?"
Su Yu nodded, learning very quickly, and said, "Brother A Ce."
Chunmei said that men all like to be called brother.
Zhao Ce's heart skipped a beat.
Su Yu leaned over to Zhao Ce's ear and said, "Do you like me wearing that dress?"
"……like."
"Then I'll wear it every day for you to see, okay?"
Zhao Ce's heart skipped a beat.
Su Yu wanted to complain about herself for being so generous. He liked to see her wearing that dress, so she wore it every day for him to see. But when she liked a seal, he was so stingy that he only let her touch it.
Unfortunately, before she could utter the words of accusation, she was pinched on the chin and kissed until her face turned red, and she was gasping for breath and couldn't even utter a coherent word.
For several days, except for touching the seal in the study, Su Yu never found a chance to steal it, but was instead taken advantage of.
Looking at the little girl's back as she fled in shame and anger, Zhao Ce's thin red lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to touch the wound on the corner of his mouth that was bitten out of anger. It didn't hurt, but there was a fine and dense numb feeling.
He doesn't have the strength to bite anyone.
While Zhao Ce was savoring the feeling just now, he was playing with the jade seal.
She wanted this seal.
This was the conclusion Zhao Ce came to after several days of observation.
What is certain is that it was Zhao Sheng who instigated her to do this. So the question is, what benefits did Zhao Sheng give her to make her take the risk of coveting his private seal?
Or maybe Zhao Sheng has some leverage over her.
Zhao Ce suddenly thought of something and called the butler: "How are the three people who caused trouble outside the palace that day?"
The butler thought for a moment and replied, "The prince said to lock them up for two months to let them suffer. I guess they are still in jail now."
Zhao Ce felt that it was suspenseful: "Send someone to take a look."
"yes."
The butler left without knowing why. What was so special about these three people? Why did the prince care about them so much?
Zhao Ce called the secret guard again: "Has there been any movement from Prince An in the past few days?"
"My Lord, not yet."
Zhao Ce frowned and pondered for a moment: "Send a few people to the girl's yard to watch, and arrest anyone who behaves suspiciously. Be careful not to disturb the girl."
"yes."
Zhao Ce took out a blueprint from the secret compartment of the long table and said, "Also, have someone make a seal based on this drawing."
The secret guard took it respectfully: "Yes."
After giving a few orders, Zhao Ce waved his hand to let the secret guards retreat, and sat in the study to think alone.
It seems I have to find some time to meet the strange female owner of Wuweizhai.
Thinking of the uncontrollable eye contact last time, Zhao Ce's face turned cold. No matter whether she had witchcraft or other abilities, if there was a next time, don't blame him for destroying Wuweizhai.
The task progress bar has been climbing slowly these past few days, but it's too slow, like a snail taking three steps forward and two steps back.
Su Yu was holding the system in the yard, basking in the sun, sighing from time to time.
Chunmei thought she was sighing because of the concubine issue, so she comforted her, "Miss, don't be discouraged. The concubine issue is of great importance. Since the prince has promised you, he will definitely not break his promise."
Su Yu looked at her weakly: "Yeah."
Chunmei thought about it and gave her an idea: "Why don't you go lie down on the prince's bed again?"
Su Yu frowned: "But he took all my clothes away."
If Su Yu hadn't mentioned it, Chunmei really wouldn't have paid attention to the clothes: "What did the prince do with your clothes?"
The next moment, Chunmei suddenly realized: "I understand."
Su Yu looked up at her.
"It's redundant."
Su Yu didn't understand: "What's redundant?"
"Of course, there are too many clothes."
Chunmei said seriously: "This must be the prince hinting to you that he likes you without clothes more than with clothes."
Su Yu sat up with a complicated expression, staring at her for a long time without blinking. When Chunmei herself suspected that she was imagining too much, the village girl in front of her suddenly grabbed her hand, her eyes so sincere that they seemed to be glowing.
"Chunmei, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of this meaning?"
Chunmei: “…”
The system turned over lazily: [Host, please stop making trouble. You have been tormenting this little maid so much that she is about to have a heart attack. ]
Su Yu chuckled: [There is no other way. Life is too boring. I have to find some fun for myself.]
