The Crown Prince’s New Female Staff - Chapter 38
When rumors arose in the capital, the aristocratic family had learned the lesson because of the previous lessons. They strictly forbade the younger generation in the family to discuss this matter, but only discussed the thoughts of the prince when interacting with colleagues.
The rumors were groundless, Xie Yu’s people were busy all of a sudden, and Qi Liangye was not in a hurry when he found out that the people around him had been replaced by Xie Yu’s people.
The two seem to be pulling each other indefinitely, and the battle will not end until one of them can’t hold back.
In a blink of an eye, three days have passed. After Xie Yu has arranged all the affairs of Saibei, he continues to listen to the reports of Xie Ruyi and Xie Abao.
No matter how Xie Yu prepared for the battle, Qi Liangye was still unhurried, and this change was not until Amur Khan’s second edict was passed on to the court.
The rumors did not continue to spread because it was no longer necessary.
Qi Liangye sat on the chair in the study, looking at the woman who was walking slowly into the room, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at her calmly.
The man’s delicate eyebrows seemed to be covered with mist at this time, but it was so obvious that it showed a bit of evil, Xie Yu’s eyes became cold involuntarily.
She was wearing a white dress, her black hair was still tied behind her head as usual, and she still saluted him as usual, just like at the beginning, the simple relationship between monarch and minister.
“What are you doing?”
He seemed to be teasing her on purpose, as if he was teasing a kitten, his low voice was clear, as if he didn’t know what was going on, he pretended to be.
The woman smiled slightly, “I have already prepared all the defense affairs of Saibei. I don’t know what was written in Amur Khan’s edict. I will ask.”
Qi Liangye stared at her half-open, half-closed, extremely red lips, his eyes sank.
“Don’t you know?”
He used the lid of the teacup to gently put aside the foam in the tea, lowered his head and took a sip of the tea. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that she was standing in the center of the study, instead of standing in front of the desk as before, his eyes deepened again.
“Amur Khan wants to have two surnames with me?”
She raised her eyebrows and asked without hesitation. Without waiting for him to answer, he continued: “Actually, it would be good if I marry a Xiongnu,”
Qi Liangye looked at her calmly, “Xie Yu, don’t joke.”
“Then what are you joking with me?”
The woman’s face was instantly frosty,
“Even if you really obey Amur Khan’s edict, I have a way to get out. What you want is to force me to beg you.”
Qi Liangye also chuckled, he slowly got up, walked half a step in front of her, and looked down at her, “What I want is not you begging me, but marrying into the East Palace.”
He stroked the woman’s face with his thumb and touched her blushing lips slightly. Those eyes were staring at him coldly, without a trace of emotion, nor did he respond to his movements.
“Speaking of which, how do you feel about me?”
The man’s voice was lighter than before, as light as a feather, but it pierced straight into her heart.
“I think I’m so fooled, I ran back to your Saibei with an empty promise, and then never came back in my life.”
“Think I’m just a passerby, or a pet picked up by the roadside, give me a few sweets, and then abandon it without hesitation?”
“Still think I can’t hold you back at all?”
With her fingertips hard, she stepped back slightly, her brows full of impatience, but the man’s big palms hounded her back like iron pliers, preventing her from moving half an inch.
With **** pinching her chin, his eyes met, his expression gradually became cold, “Speak, Ayu.”
“Then what should I do?”
Xie Yu mocked unceremoniously, “You are trapped in the deep courtyard within the palace wall, like other women, you are just a canary in your hand all your life, watching your desire for profit and beauty. Taking countless concubines, constantly squeezing my freedom, constantly hollowing out my bones and blood, and I can only be forced to play a role that is not me at all, but also pretend to be happy, you appease me a few words, I will be grateful, you are left out In a few days, I’m going to hit the wall and commit suicide,”
“Is that so?”
“So, man.”
She sneered unceremoniously, as if she didn’t see the frost on his face, and continued: “How much is your promise worth?”
As soon as the air was quiet, the sound of their breathing intertwined became more obvious.
For a long time, his knuckles exerted force, and a piece of white appeared. The woman’s jaw was pinched, and her brows furrowed even deeper.
“You do not trust me.”
Qi Liangye’s eyes narrowed slightly, both doubtful and affirmative.
“If you want to put me in the position of the Crown Princess, you have to pay something.”
The man also sneered, let go of her chin, took a step back, and turned around with a flick of his sleeves, “Ayu, look, all you want is a promise, but you have made such a big circle with Gu.”
His long black hair was like a waterfall. At this time, it was tied down behind him. Xie Yu looked at his back and said again: “What I want is, black and white, not your empty words.”
In short, what she wanted was the promise he wrote in the edict, not the blood of self-moving blood.
Qi Liangye turned around again, looked into her eyes and said:
“what do you want?”
What Xie Yu wants is to go back to Saibei, even if it is really married, contract marriage is fine, not to the point of having to get married.
Qi Liangye understood what she meant, but he wanted a little more. He didn’t want their marriage to be limited to a paper agreement.
So the man’s pace approached again, the man’s mischievous heart turned up again, his deep eyes like ink reflected the exquisite figure, and his tone was a little casual: “Xie Yu, no matter from which aspect, you are the most suitable candidate. From the feelings, from the benefits you can bring me, from your appearance, from your wisdom, you are the best candidate.”
“If I really have no love for you, I can take it by force”
Xie Yu was noncommittal to his words, pulled out a braid from the back of his head, twisted it carefully, his eyes darkened, “Your Highness, you know what I want.”
With the current power of the Xie family, even if the Qi family is a royal family, they have to weigh the wishes of her Xie family head.
The placket of his clothes was smoked with fine rosin, the woman sniffed slightly, and the refreshing fragrance spread along the nasal cavity. She turned her head slightly, and a shadow was cast in front of her, and the man took another step.
Her throat moved, her eyes half-drooped, avoiding his sight.
Qi Liangye still liked her lively smile, Xie Yu was hugged by him again, the trembling was afferent nerve layer by layer along the skin, she pressed one hand against his chest pressing down on her, “Qi Liangye.”
The man made a move and let go.
“You know what I want, so don’t push yourself too far.”
The almost didactic tone made him stop, Qi Liangye put down his hand, his sleeves swayed slightly with the movement, and the sound of the door closing came.
Qi Liangye laughed softly.
In short, this marriage is done.
.
The wedding date of the two is set for June. For the prince’s wedding, this time is somewhat hasty, but Xie Yu is very satisfied.
Because Qi Liangye finally came forward to solve Amur Khan, which can be considered to solve her personal worries, but the threat is still behind.
The best time for the Huns to attack is after the beginning of spring in April, when the weather warms up and the Huns’ cavalry combat effectiveness increases. When their energy is good, they can even slaughter most of the infantry regiments. This war will start sooner or later.
She knew the inevitability of war and planned to return to Saibei in a few days, but for some reason, Qi Liangye knew about it.
When the dark guard came to announce the time, he held the teacup’s hand for a while, and the dark guard retreated wisely.
“Tokugawa—”
Eunuch Tokugawa immediately pushed the door with the whisk in his arms and asked respectfully, “Your Highness.”
“Go to send a letter to the princess’ mansion this afternoon.”
Qi Liang laid paper and grinded ink at night, and with just a few words, the demand was solved. Tokugawa took the letter and put it in his sleeve, and left the study.
The news of their big marriage did not surprise everyone in the Prince’s Mansion, but what was unexpected was Xie Yu’s attitude towards Qi Liangye.
It’s not cold or hot, and it’s more disciplined than before.
The calm and dangerous atmosphere was even more subtle when Xie Yu received the invitation from the princess’ residence.
Their people have never infiltrated the official residence and the courtyard. This is the rule set by the ancestor Xie Yunying for the Xie family. The law stipulates that officials and eunuchs cannot support private guards, and those who violate it will be linked to nine clans.
But now, it is precisely because of this rule that Xie Yu can’t detect the movements of the eldest princess’ mansion at all, nor can she guess the eldest princess’ intentions.
At the juncture of the agreement between her and Qi Liangye, it’s impossible to pick things up without a long eye, right?
Xie Yu took the flower sticker and couldn’t help but ponder while looking at the content on it.
“Going to the door the day after tomorrow, the Spring Festival banquet in the palace of the eldest princess invites all the ladies in Beijing to a feast.”
Princess Shengle has a lively temperament, but since she smashed her place last time, I didn’t expect that she would be able to invite herself to dinner?
Xie Yu had faint doubts in her heart, but she didn’t hesitate. She just put the flower sticker on the table and let Xie Abao go down.
She got up and went back to the bedroom. She was tired for the past two days. She slept as long as she could. Just after lighting the soothing incense, someone came from the courtyard.
Due to the change in the identities of the two, the Yilan Courtyard was filled with maids and wives who had been installed by Qi Liangye.
“Your Highness—”
There was a group of people kneeling in the courtyard. The woman was woken up by the sound as soon as she lay down. She frowned and looked out the window for a while, but saw no one.
The next moment, the curtain of the bedroom was opened, and the man walked around the screen, only to slow down after realizing that she had just stood up.
“Asleep?”
Seeing her lazy expression, he simply sat next to her on the bed, Xie Yu kicked him, “What are you doing here?”
“Come and see you.”
He wrapped his arms around the woman’s waist, wishing he could hang on top of her.
Xie Yu: “…”
“stand up.”
She pushed him, but the man didn’t say a word, he hugged her and fell onto the bed, “Sleep.”
He shoved the woman inside the bed with his big palms, hugged her and closed his eyes first, Xie Yu fell asleep when he saw that he was honest.
In a daze, a warmth came from behind her, she shrank in that direction, and slept more sweetly.
The author has something to say:
The heroine is also hard-mouthed, and pride and self-respect are unwilling to let her bow her head.
A tug-of-war between two people is typically favored and fearless.
