"Oh my god, the princess of Central Plains, is she going to marry the king?"
"But the king already has a queen."
"Who says that princesses from the Central Plains must be the Grand Consort? They've been defeated and are seeking peace, so they must be the Junior Consort."
"A concubine? Our king has even cancelled the selection of concubines, so why would he need a concubine?"
"Perhaps the princess from the Central Plains is beautiful?"
"Beautiful? I don't believe there is a woman in this world more beautiful than our Queen."
"I don't believe it either!"
"Besides, the king didn't say anything about the marriage. Maybe the people from the Central Plains just made their own decision."
…
Tu Qingyu happened to hear the servant saying these words when he passed by.
A princess who married for a foreign country?
Dabao had already shown her, and she was indeed a beauty, but it was indeed Zhongyuan's own decision.
The envoy leading the team is still that scumbag.
Now it's time to watch some fun.
Helian Lingfeng returned before the marriage delegation arrived.
He was riding a horse, looking dusty all the way, and he saw Tu Qingyu standing in the crowd and looking at him.
He jumped off the horse swiftly, strode over, stretched out his hands, and hugged Tu Qingyu.
In full view of the crowd, no one reacted.
Except for Tu Qingyu, she noticed that the man's eyes were always on her since he appeared.
She felt a little disgusted when she was hugged tightly. The man was very dirty and it looked like he hadn't taken a shower for several days.
She reached out to push, but he buried his head in the crook of her neck.
His voice was low, "Did you miss me?"
She didn't answer, so he held her like that for a while before letting her go.
Take her hand and go in, and go together to pay your respects to the Concubine Dowager.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..." The concubine looked at him with eyes full of relief, "My son, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard. The Central Plains has been corrupt for a long time. The weapons and armor of the soldiers in the border towns can be cut through without much effort."
“Has it come to this?”
"Yes." His eyes darkened. "It will be soon. Soon the desert will be able to..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but everyone present knew what he meant.
The Queen Mother had long known her son's ambition and strength, and it was only a matter of time before he took control of the Central Plains.
"What about the marriage alliance that the Central Plains is talking about?" When she said this, she glanced at Tu Qingyu next to her.
Even Helian Lingfeng looked at her subconsciously.
Of course, there was no expression on her face, and Helian Lingfeng was a little disappointed.
But he still explained: "It was the Emperor of the Central Plains who made the decision on his own. We have never mentioned the idea of marriage."
The concubine thought for a moment, "Maybe they just sent a princess here to test your attitude. If a marriage is possible, that would be great. If not, she's just a woman. For them, it's not a big loss."
"My son guesses that's what he meant."
The two chatted for a while, and then the concubine sent Helian Lingfeng back to rest.
Helian Lingfeng returned to the palace and took the initiative to wash up.
When I came back, I saw Tu Qingyu still reading a book leisurely, and I suddenly felt a little depressed.
He walked over and snatched the book from Tu Qingyu's hand, then leaned over, put his hands on the couch, and trapped her in the middle.
His eyes were deep and cold, "Don't you have anything to say?"
She looked up in confusion, "What?"
"The envoys for the marriage are about to arrive. As my Queen, don't you have anything to say?"
"Will the king agree to the marriage?"
"What if I agree? What are you going to do?"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for... well..."
Helian Lingfeng didn't even listen to her finish her words. He leaned over and kissed her angrily, and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.
His kiss this time was completely different from the last time. It was like gnawing, and soon, the smell of rust came from between the lips and teeth.
"Um..." She struggled to push him away with her hands, but the next second, both of her hands were restrained by his hand.
This kiss almost made Tu Qingyu, an experienced driver, unable to resist.
By the time they separated, both were out of breath.
Helian Lingfeng reached out and wiped the blood oozing from her lips with his fingertips. He spoke word by word, "I'll ask you again. Someone wants to marry you. As the Queen Consort, what should you do?"
"I..." Her eyes turned red with anger, but Helian Lingfeng continued to threaten her in a low voice: "Think it over before you speak."
She turned her head away from him, and when she saw him about to kiss her again, she quickly raised her hand to block him, "I, I don't agree!"
He paused, a hint of smile flashing in his eyes, "What else?"
"you……"
"Um?"
His narrow eyes narrowed, and she could only continue fiercely: "I am your Queen, I do not agree with you taking a concubine."
"Alright!" He stood up with satisfaction. "Since the Queen Mother has said she disagrees, then I will obey her."
"You scoundrel!" She was so angry that she wanted to hit him with a book.
He laughed heartily. "How can I be a scoundrel? Am I not obedient enough to the Queen Mother?"
He likes Tu Qingyu who is full of energy and spirit.
After this incident, he found that his queen's attitude towards him had changed greatly.
Not so cold and polite anymore, and although not gentle either, he liked it that way.
How can a girl of sixteen or seventeen be so lifeless?
The king, whose relationship with his queen has become closer, has been in a good mood these days.
Ever since that kiss that day, he seemed to have mastered the trick to control his own queen.
Don't ask anything, just do it. For example, if she becomes cold again, just give her a kiss. If one kiss doesn't work, kiss her a few more times.
Dabao couldn't help but complain at his silly look, "He doesn't really think that he can kiss you if you don't want him to, right?"
Wasn't everything he wanted to do guided by Tu Qingyu intentionally or unintentionally?
Tu Qingyu: "Dabao, you really understand everything now."
Dabao: "That's right. After all, I'm so old now, how can I not make progress?"
Helian Lingfeng's good mood continued until the marriage delegation arrived.
When he learned that the envoy leading the team was Xu Mingzhe, his mood plummeted.
Xu Mingzhe - the pretty boy that Sijie Qingyu fell in love with in Zhongyuan.
The youngest son of Duke Liang and a descendant of the Central Plains royal family.
When I came back from the military camp at night, my face was black.
He wandered around the palace, looking at everyone he disliked.
A palace servant accidentally bumped into him, and he was furious, "Get out!"
Tu Qingyu almost thought that he would hit the waiter or have him taken away and punished.
She didn't expect that he would just say "get out", which surprised her a little.
"What's wrong?" She walked over, with some imperceptible concern in her clear eyes.
The man who was originally furious instantly controlled his temper.
He smiled gently and said, "Nothing, I'll go wash up now."
During the time they spent together, he had unknowingly completely adapted to Tu Qingyu's lifestyle.
