"Okay, please come in."
She brought people to Zhuangzi's peach blossom forest. There was a pavilion in the middle of the forest. Outside the pavilion was a created stream. The water flowed down from a high place, carrying fallen petals with it. The water was shimmering, which had a unique charm.
Ming Chuji looked at the chessboard in the center of the pavilion and asked, "Brother Tu, are you good at chess?"
Tu Qingyu: "I'm not really good, but I know a thing or two. Compared to that, I still prefer swords."
"Your riding skills are so good. If you have the chance, you will definitely become a famous general." It's a pity that my sister is a woman, and there is no precedent for women to join the army in this dynasty.
"Yeah, what a pity..." She laughed to herself.
"If there is a chance, Chu Ji will help Brother Tu fulfill his wish!" He looked at Tu Qingyu's lost expression and spoke seriously without thinking.
Tu Qingyu looked at him with a smile, "Forget it, what chance do you have?"
Unless you rebel and become emperor?
Even if you become an emperor, it is very difficult to carry out reforms.
Can this small body do it?
Ming Chuji did not continue the topic, but just looked at the chessboard in the pavilion and said with great interest, "Brother Tu, how about a game of hand-to-hand?"
"OK."
It can be seen that although Ming Chuji looks gentle and refined, he is very dangerous when playing chess.
Tu Qingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "You like to risk your life to survive? Your style of doing things is a bit extreme."
Not smooth enough. No wonder Dabao said that he resigned from his official position in his previous life because he couldn't stand the emperor, and then disappeared.
So clean.
I wonder how such a pure person would react after knowing that she is the Princess of Qi.
Ming Chuji looked up and smiled: "Brother Tu said he knew a thing or two, but I see that even my master might not be able to beat you in this chess game."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "It's my foolish brother who lost."
Tu Qingyu stood up and patted his shoulder, "You are also very good."
She treated him to lunch at the farm, and in the afternoon they went to the back mountain and picked some wild fruits and peach blossoms to make wine.
Ming Chuji felt that the more he got along with the person, the more he liked him.
"Brother Tu can actually brew wine?"
"I know a thing or two."
"I won't trust your little knowledge anymore."
"You know it too."
"It's different. Brother Tu is obviously more proficient. I was wondering what kind of parents could raise someone like you."
Even in a family as aristocratic as theirs, there was no woman like her.
He was proficient in riding and shooting, liked swords, and was also well-versed in poetry, calligraphy, chess and wine.
Their style of doing things is both free and easy and elegant.
How could there be such a perfect person in this world?
To be honest, even after they met, he still didn't know which family his sister came from.
But it doesn’t matter. When the time comes, you will know it naturally.
In the evening, he looked at the sky and said goodbye reluctantly, "It's getting late, and it's time for me to say goodbye. Today... I am truly fortunate to have met Brother Tu."
"Well, you've already said it once. I'm so lucky." Tu Qingyu said with a smile, "If you don't want to leave, you can stay here."
"Stay, stay overnight?" Ming Chuji's face suddenly flushed red. "No, no, that's not necessary."
They are a single man and a single woman. If the news of him staying overnight gets out and causes rumors, won’t it be bad for my sister?
"Okay, then be careful on your way back."
After Ming Chuji returned, she stayed alone on the farm for a few more days.
As soon as I returned to my side yard, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
There was not a single servant guarding the yard; it was obvious that they had been sent away.
Dabao: "Master, Huo Qixiao is in your room."
Tu Qingyu: "What's wrong with him?"
"Where are they?" Chunju was about to open the door in confusion, but was stopped by Tu Qingyu, "Wait, you guys go down first."
She was really afraid that the drunk man would hurt these girls.
After they went down, she could fight better.
Chunlan and the others have been very obedient since she came. As soon as they heard her instructions, they bowed and left without asking any questions.
There was no one in the yard, so she gently pushed open the door.
The room was pitch black, without any sound, and without ventilation, the smell of alcohol was even stronger.
The door closed, and Dabao shouted in his heart, "Master, be careful!"
Without Dabao shouting, she also noticed the dark shadow rushing towards her.
She turned sideways and raised her leg, "Bang!"
A muffled groan was heard, and from the sound it was known that it was from that bastard.
He was kicked hard and had been drinking, so he fell to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.
She slowly lit the candle and found a place to sit down.
Finally, he said in surprise, "Ah! Prince? Why is it you? I thought it was some scoundrel."
"You..." Huo Qixiao propped himself up and stood up, then staggered to Tu Qingyu, "Where have you been for so long? Why are you back so late?"
Tu Qingyu didn't say anything, just looked at him as if he was a fool.
It wasn't until he was drunk and uncomfortable that she spoke again, "Is there anything else, Your Highness? Nothing, I need to rest."
"This is the palace. Can't I come here if I have nothing to do?"
"Your Highness, do you want to go out on your own, or should I call someone to chase you out?"
If we kick him out, we will lose face.
"Y-I am your husband!"
"Don't, it's disgusting."
Huo Qixiao looked at her and felt angry.
Whether it was because of the alcohol or some other psychological factor, he quickly stepped forward and reached out to hug Tu Qingyu.
Tu Qingyu stood up and dodged to the side, but he fell on the stool again.
"Look carefully, I'm not Shu Muyun."
When this name was mentioned, Huo Qixiao's face turned dark.
He sat there, breathing lightly, and after a long time, he spoke softly, "Princess, let's live a good life. It's true that I did a lot of wrong things in the past, but you are not without fault either.
In this case, let's both take a step back and not pursue the matter.
If you are willing, we can consummate our marriage today and become a legitimate couple. You can move back to the main courtyard and take charge of the household.
From now on, this king will respect you and give you all the honors that a princess deserves."
As he spoke, his tone no longer sounded like an apology, but rather a hint of almsgiving.
Indeed, in his heart, Tu Qingyu had already married him.
No matter what happened in the past, he was willing to be with her now and had promised so much, so she had no reason to refuse.
After all, she couldn't stay in this remote courtyard and be a widow forever.
Tu Qingyu sneered, "What are you daydreaming about? You don't think I should be grateful for what you said, do you?
"I am not completely without fault either. Come on, tell me, what fault have I done?"
