Chapter 163 Marriage Proposal
Changliu handed the imperial edict in, and quickly pulled the curtain shut, covering the room tightly.
It looked like his young master was about to lose his temper, and he was afraid that his anger would be released.
Changliu pricked up his ears and waited for a moment, only to hear a "bang" in the carriage and couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Xie Tingzhou asked coldly: "Have you received the order?"
Chen Yu stood up and picked up the imperial edict that Xie Tingzhou had thrown in a corner.
"Can I still disobey your order?"
Xie Tingzhou clenched his jaw.
He expected that Emperor Tongxu would promote Shen Yu, but he never expected it to be such a position.
Why did Emperor Tongxu summon her into the palace and keep her by his side?
Could it be that...
A thought flashed through my mind.
Could it be that Emperor Tongxu already knew about their relationship and was using Chen Yu to restrain him?
Xie Tingzhou felt warmth on the back of his hand, and lowered his eyes to see her hand covering his.
"It will be fine." Chen Yu comforted: "Emperor Tongxu is not afraid of letting a wolf into the house, so why should I be afraid? Besides, I have advantages in front of the emperor, and many things cannot escape my eyes."
Xie Tingzhou frowned slightly, held her hand with his backhand, and rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb a few times.
He knew that what she said made sense, and he had said before leaving Beijing that he would let her go, but once she encountered an unknown situation, he still felt uneasy.
"The palace is much more dangerous than the outside world. If you take a wrong step, you may be killed."
"Don't you have me to protect me? They don't dare." Chen Yu said briskly.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her face and said, "If you were the Crown Prince's Consort of Beilin, they would be even more afraid."
The Beilin Palace is very festive today.
Zhong Bo, Lu Yao and others had been waiting at the door long ago. A banquet was set up in the mansion, waiting to welcome Shen Yu who had returned triumphantly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he was pulled by Xie Tingzhou to Qingpu Ju.
"Everyone, please take your seats." Uncle Zhong called everyone.
Seeing their sleeves tangled together, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He arranged for the kitchen to send dinner to the room, and almost said he wanted to send it to the bridal chamber.
"I brought them gifts." Chen Yu followed Xie Tingzhou into the room.
Xie Tingzhou closed the door with his backhand, lowered his eyes to look at her and asked, "Where's mine?"
Chen Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "Tomorrow
Let Xiao Chuan bring it over together."
"dislike."
Chen Yu raised her eyes, "You haven't even seen what I gave you, and you're already saying you don't like it."
Xie Tingzhou held the door open, circled her in front of him, and stared at her without blinking, "What I like, you have brought back for me."
He reached out and stroked her face, and whispered, "You're just a little thinner."
Qingpu Residence became quiet, and even the guards disappeared somewhere.
There was a sound of saliva exchanging like spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves in the room.
Xie Tingzhou kissed her, taking away her chance to breathe, and it seemed as if a fire was burning in his chest.
After being separated for fifty-one days, he missed the person in his arms so much.
There was a sudden chill on her wrist, as if something was put on it. As soon as Shen Yu raised her hand, Xie Tingzhou grabbed it and intertwined their fingers.
He stepped back slightly, leaned against her forehead and murmured, "Marry me, Ayu."
Chen Yu's heart seemed to be burned into a hole by these five words. Through her misty eyes, she saw the earnestness in his eyes, as well as the fire that he had suppressed.
There was a sudden "thump" sound from under the eaves of the house.
Then came Chang Liu's angry voice, "You kicked me! I will never be friends with you again."
Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes, ignoring the interruptions outside the window, stared at Chen Yu, and asked: "Will you marry me?"
"Your tone doesn't sound like you're asking for marriage, it sounds like you're forcing marriage." Chen Yu curled her lips.
Xie Tingzhou's nose got closer, "Then let's call it forced marriage. You have to marry me even if you don't want to."
He tilted his nose slightly and kissed her lips.
Chen Yu felt hot all over, and she felt as if a strong wind was passing through her. She was pressed backwards by him, and all the strength in her body was drained by him.
She quickly reached out and grabbed the window frame, and her fingers silently pushed the window open a little, but no one noticed.
Chang Liu didn't notice anything unusual. He took out the little turtle from his chest, patted it, raised his head and said thankfully: "Fortunately--"
His voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at the scene inside the window.
Xie Tingzhou suddenly raised his eyes and looked over with a sharp gaze like an arrow.
He held the back of Chen Yu's head with one hand and pressed her into his arms. Chen Yu buried herself in his arms, blushing and not daring to move.
Chang Liu saw the hand of His Royal Highness leaning on the window sill, with veins bulging on the back of his hand, as if he would draw his sword and kill him in the next moment.
Here.
"Your Highness." Chang Liu held the little turtle in his arms and said fearfully, "I, I fell down from above. I didn't mean to do that."
Xie Tingzhou swept his sharp gaze around the courtyard, "Get out!"
There was a slight sound of footsteps on the eaves, and the treetops moved slightly.
The secret guards originally came and went silently, and they made noises deliberately to indicate that they had already withdrawn.
Chang Liu's legs went weak after being stared at by His Highness just now. He was the one with the best lightness skill in the whole palace, but now he couldn't even move.
Xifeng came down from the eaves, picked up Changliu, nodded to the prince, and walked out of the yard.
Chang Liu hung on Xi Feng's shoulder and said aggrievedly: "I treated you as my brother, but you kicked me."
"I told you not to lie down and eavesdrop, but who knew you were so fragile."
Chang Liu was still frightened, "The prince is so scary."
Xifeng put him down and patted his head, "You have to remember that the master is the master. His Highness treats us kindly on weekdays, but there are some reverse scales that cannot be touched?"
"What is your highness's reverse scale?"
Xifeng: "I didn't know before, but now... it should be Shiyu."
Xie Tingzhou let go of Chen Yu, looked down at her, stroked his sleeves, and the window opened completely. The courtyard was already empty.
The wind was not cool at night, and Xie Tingzhou had no place to vent his anger, so he turned to the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea.
"You scared Changliu." Shen Yu said.
The teacup stopped at his lips, "He disturbed us." Xie Tingzhou said and drank the tea again.
Chen Yu's face was still a little red. She lowered her head and saw the bracelet on her wrist, then she remembered that it was Xie Tingzhou who had just put it on her.
She raised her hand and asked, "What is this?"
Xie Tingzhou walked towards her, hugged her tightly from behind, and lifted her up while holding her hand.
“This is something my mother left behind.”
Chen Yu wanted to turn her head to look at him, but Xie Tingzhou put his chin against her temples, "You want to say that the quality is very poor, right?"
Chen Yu looked at the bracelet on her wrist, which was something she had never touched since she was born. It could be seen everywhere on the street, and one tael of silver could buy ten such bracelets.
Such a shabby bracelet should not belong to Princess Beilin.
Xie Tingzhou half closed his eyes, and darkness gradually emerged from his eyes, "I am not the daughter of Princess Beilin, she...she wishes I would die."
