At this time, the two of them were already on the grass on the other side of the woods.
After tying the horse to a tree at the edge of the forest, Ming Chuji left for a while, using the excuse that he had dropped something.
When he came back, he was jogging towards me with a handkerchief holding a bag of wild fruits.
"Just now I saw some wild fruits over there. I've eaten these fruits before. They're very sweet. I wonder if you've ever eaten them before? Would you like to try some?"
The young man brought the red and yellow washed wild fruits to her, his eyes shining brightly.
Tu Qingyu suddenly thought, if she said that she didn't like these things at this moment, would the boy cry?
The thought flashed through her mind, and soon she reached out, took one and put it in her mouth.
It tastes sweet and refreshing, without any sour taste at all.
She nodded and said seriously, "It's delicious."
The most important thing in the world is sincerity.
After saying that, she picked up another one and quickly handed it to Ming Chuji's mouth.
The boy was obviously stunned. She raised her hand and said, "Why? Do you think my hands are dirty?"
"No, no." He blushed and shook his head desperately, "I just, just..."
Unable to explain why, he immediately opened his mouth and ate the wild fruit in Tu Qingyu's hand.
Perhaps he was eating in a hurry, and while eating, his lips touched Tu Qingyu's fingertips.
This time, his face turned even redder.
Not only his face, but even his hands holding the fruit were shaking.
Tu Qingyu opened his innocent eyes and asked him, "What's wrong with your hand? I see you're shaking badly. Did you hurt yourself when you were picking the fruit just now?"
After saying that, she reached out and held Ming Chuji's hand holding the fruit.
He pretended to turn up his sleeve to see if he was hurt anywhere.
Ming Chuji quickly pulled his hand back like a frightened cat, and the fruits scattered all over the floor.
"What's wrong?" She looked at the fruit on the ground and felt sad. "Just now you said you didn't mind me, but now you're avoiding me and you still say you don't mind me."
"No, no, no, it's not disrespectful. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. We..."
"But I'm a man."
"you!"
Ming Chuji was choked and didn't know how to continue.
You can't say that he already knows that she is a woman, right?
Will this make my sister uncomfortable?
Also, if he told it, would he be able to see his sister again in the future?
After thinking for a moment, he bent down, pretended to pick up some fruit, and stopped talking about the previous topic.
Tu Qingyu laughed and patted his shoulder with one hand, "I'm just teasing you, how can you be so stupid."
He straightened up. "Stay? Don't you like staying here?"
"No, it's good to be idle."
He curled his lips and smiled.
The two appeared in front of everyone again, and it was getting late.
Xuan Fengnian couldn't help but ask, "Where have you two been all day?"
Ming Chuji and Tu Qingyu looked at each other, with smiles in their eyes.
He spoke calmly, "We ran to the woods in the north and got lost there, and then we found our way back."
"Really?" Xuan Fengnian was full of suspicion. "You've been here so many times, and you can still get lost?"
The first few times he came, he thought Ming Chuji was very good at knowing the way.
Ming Chuji nodded, "Maybe it's spring now, many things are different from winter."
"Yes, we were also puzzled for a while when we looked at a flowering tree just now."
Xuan Fengnian walked over and patted Ming Chuji on the shoulder, "My dear Ming brother, you are not the first today."
"I know." He nodded. "It's Brother Tu, right? Her horseback archery skills are so good that we can't compare to her."
"So you knew."
"I still have some self-awareness."
The others gathered around and said, "Brother Tu, your horse archery is amazing. I wonder who your teacher is. We would like to learn a thing or two from him."
Tu Qingyu showed a look of loss, "This was taught by the Great General. As you know, the Great General has always paid attention to the training of the younger generation. Although the Great General and I are five generations apart, my mother used her connections to send me to the Great General's command."
“That’s how it is.”
All the young men fell silent.
After a while, he comforted her, "You don't have to be too sad. The general sacrificed his life for his country..."
As they spoke, they could no longer comfort themselves.
Tu Qingyu raised his head and smiled, "It's okay, I know the general must be living well in heaven now."
"Uh-huh."
When they parted, Ming Chuji wanted to make an appointment to meet next time, but he didn't know what excuse to use.
Finally, he could no longer think of anything else, so he could only ask reluctantly, "Chu Ji and Brother Tu hit it off right away. I'm so happy today. I don't know when I can see Brother Tu again."
Tu Qingyu took out a jade pendant and said, "If you want to play with me, take this jade pendant to Shengqu Villa and tell the manager inside. I will show up."
"Shengqu Villa..." He took the jade pendant and repeated these four words in his mouth, fearing that he would forget.
"Okay, I have to go back now, Chu Ji, see you next time."
The next time they met, he felt for the first time that these three words were so beautiful.
The first person Tu Qingyu met after returning was still that nanny.
She really went to the palace today, dragging her almost broken leg.
For most of her life, as the prince's wet nurse, she was indeed respected everywhere.
Even the King of Qi treated her politely.
The punishment she received in public yesterday had made her extremely angry, and now when she saw Tu Qingyu, she wanted to eat him alive.
"Greetings, Princess." She saluted sarcastically, then said proudly, "Princess Li has summoned you to the palace for an audience tomorrow. Princess, please make your preparations early."
The servants around subconsciously looked at Tu Qingyu.
Even Tu Qingyu's personal maids looked nervous.
Yes, since ancient times, there have been few good relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.
Especially the original owner, an orphan whose father and brother had passed away, was disliked by Concubine Li.
The original body was easy to bully. Every time she entered the palace, she would be tortured to death.
That's why they looked at her so nervously.
"I understand." She responded calmly, then walked around her and went straight back to her yard.
Chunlan: "Miss, Concubine Li always comes back... What should I do?"
Dong Ping: "Yes, you are always covered in wounds every time you enter the palace. Why don't we pretend to be sick?"
Tu Qingyu curled her lips, "What are you afraid of? If an enemy comes, we will stop him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. In this palace, it's not just Concubine Li who has the final say."
"Can……"
Chunlan and the others were still very worried, but Tu Qingyu ignored them.
As soon as she entered the palace the next day, she went straight to the emperor's Qinzheng Hall.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Qi requests an audience."
"Princess Qi? Why is she coming here instead of going to see Concubine Li?"
"This... I don't know, but the Princess of Qi is crying loudly outside. Do you want to summon her?"
"Pass it on."
Ministers were coming and going in the Qinzheng Palace. If she was allowed to continue crying outside, I wonder what kind of gossip would spread in the capital.
