Chapter 51: Scheming Beauty vs. Dark Minister 013
Everyone was delighted.
I didn't expect that the usually silent and gloomy guy actually has someone he likes.
Everyone greeted Chuli as a sister-in-law, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Xie Huai'an took her to the armory, where all the best weapons in the dynasty were stored.
One of the beautiful knife handles was specially customized by a killer blacksmith in the court, but now it has disappeared and the master is long gone.
The knife is patterned with embroidery.
I heard that this was used by a female general in the previous dynasty.
Xie Huai'an specially took out this knife and gave it to Chuli.
To be honest, Hatsuri is very scared of this thing.
But seeing that Xie Huai'an seemed very sincere, it was difficult to refuse him in person.
"Hatsuri, I know you like this kind of knife handle, so I picked one out for you to use for self-defense."
Chuli took it in surprise. When did she ever express that she liked this thing?
Then, Xie Huai'an was seen holding her in his arms, teaching her how to use it step by step, with gentle and careful techniques.
But this knife is very sharp.
An idea suddenly occurred to Chuli.
If anyone wants to give a gift, just give a knife...
Hatsuri could only be forced to listen to him explain the identity of this knife and the story of that knife.
Like a living person, with his own thoughts.
Afterwards, Hatsuri was really a little sleepy.
Yawning frequently, she casually sat on the ground with her head down, listening to Xie Huai'an's introduction word by word.
"Hatsuri, you and I are already engaged. When do you think it would be a good time for us to get married?"
Only these words awakened her.
When she was sitting on the ground and looked over, she happened to see Xie Huai'an lowering his head. Chu Li's sight, which had nowhere to hide, fell perfectly into Xie Huai'an's eyes.
There was a hint of shyness in Chuli's eyes, and she even hesitated when speaking: "Of course, I can, but we need to choose an auspicious day."
"Um."
As if she thought of something, she suddenly stood up.
She looked at him seriously and said, "How are you going to explain to others that I am the daughter of a criminal who is a member of a riotous party? If the emperor finds out, how are you going to get out of this situation? You are already in this position, and I don't want you to encounter any unnecessary changes because of me."
Before deciding to marry her, Xie Huai'an had already secretly investigated and learned all this. When the Chu family was raided and executed, their daughter was innocent and should not be implicated.
He has been reporting this matter to the emperor.
The emperor is the only one who knows that he is engaged.
He knew what Hatsuri was worried about, and he also knew what troubles they would face if they were together, but he was willing to make changes for this: "Don't worry, these are not obstacles to my love for you."
It was a blessing for Hatsuri to meet him.
But she still has concerns.
"If I lied to you, would you point the knife at me yourself?"
"No, I will believe whatever you say."
This is what Xie Huai'an said to himself at the very beginning. It has never changed and its meaning remains the same.
Chu Li could never have imagined that in the days to come, Xie Huai'an's heart and people would always be devoted to her and stand on her side.
She felt a little sad, yet a little happy.
She didn't know when that day would come, but at this moment she was willing to join hands with Xie Huai'an.
"good."
"I do."
"Well, then, let's go home and tell our mother about this?"
"good."
The next second, Xie Huai'an pulled her into his arms and said, "What will we do if we don't have children in the future?"
After saying this, he looked a little lonely.
Chuli knew what he was worried about, that he was worried that he would not be able to have children. Fortunately, she was a very fertile girl.
Came to this plane to have children.
Chu Li took his hand and said with a smile: "What if I am the one in ten thousand? What if we have a child? Things are unpredictable and you never know what will happen in the future."
Xie Huai'an lowered his head and smiled.
The two of them walked out arm in arm.
When I got home, I discussed it with Xie's mother several times.
Xie's mother cried with joy. She had always been worried about her son's marriage. It seemed that the two of them had been together for a long time and had fallen in love with each other.
On the first day of Hatsuri's arrival, when she saw the poor baby, she already fell in love with the girl.
Now she is married to her son.
What a perfect match!
She took Hatsuri to the place where her deceased father Xie was buried.
"God bless you, the Xie family has spirits. Giving me such a virtuous daughter-in-law is a blessing that our Xie family has earned for generations!"
night.
The cold weather has passed and spring is coming soon.
The weather seems to be warming up a bit.
Hatsuri lay on the bed, feeling somewhat delighted.
She had already begun to fantasize about her married life and was about to blow out the candles.
Somehow, it seemed like someone sneaked in through the curtain of my window.
She became a little more alert.
I found myself suddenly falling into someone's arms and then being pulled onto the bed.
"Don't talk."
I felt a warm breath by my ears, and the hand on my shoulder was already taking off my clothes.
A young man full of vigor and vitality broke into the girl's room.
Hatsuri could smell the alcohol on him and he was clinging to her, so she asked, "Sir, have you been drinking?"
Xie Huai'an dug his teeth into her neck and uttered only one sentence: "Why don't you call me brother anymore?"
This was the first time that Hatsuri saw him drinking in the months she had been with him, and the man looked drunk.
The woman's face was also tinged with a blush through the night.
She said veiledly: "Brother Huai'an, why are you drinking?"
“Happy.”
Inside the quilt, there was not even an inch of silk left on Chu Li.
A glimpse of spring.
Xie Huai'an couldn't hold back.
"Hatsuri."
A night of love followed.
At dawn, Xie Huai'an had already put on his clothes and prepared to leave, waking up the person beside him as he left.
He kissed her cheek, his voice extremely hoarse and gentle: "Are you awake? You can sleep a little longer."
Hatsuri had just woken up. A beam of light shone through the window onto her delicate face. Because she had just woken up, her voice was a little soft: "Sir, are you leaving?"
"Well, it's time to go to court."
Then he covered her with the quilt again, and Hatsuri took his hand and smiled at him.
The man misunderstood the meaning.
I leaned over and came again in the morning.
When he really couldn't waste any more time, he let Chu Li go, leaving a sentence: "Since my lover is here, what's the harm in not attending the morning court?"
Chuli buried herself in the quilt, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The Xie family is going to have a wedding, and the whole of Kyoto has started to spread the news, but no one has seen what the bride looks like.
Everyone is guessing and betting.
Bet that the bride is a peerless beauty.
Some people also bet that she might be a person with a disability, which is why she was paired with the son of the Xie family.
Hatsuri goes out on the street for the first time.
Looking at the dazzling array of products, she wanted to take some back home and cook them for Xie Huaiyu.
When I saw the vegetable seeds again, I suddenly thought of the knife.
When she was about to go over to take a look, someone patted her from behind, which scared her.
"Hatsuri, when did you come to Kyoto?"
