Chapter 58 on the eve of the Chinese Valentine's Day
In July, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In the evening of this day, the prince returned home early and went straight to the courtyard where the princess was. After dinner, he didn't go back to his room until it was almost time.
Qiaoyu sat on his couch and studied the Buddhist scriptures with a red candle on the small kang table. Because I was so focused, I didn't hear the footsteps. Zhu Gaoshuai smiled, walked over gently, and sat on the opposite side without a sound. The candle shadow swayed, and Qiaoyu raised her head and was facing Zhu Gaosou's smiling eyes. He put down the scriptures with a smile and said gently, "When did the prince come here?" Why didn't Fuhai report it?"
"I didn't let him report it."
"Oh! No wonder!" Qiao Yu withdrew her eyes and continued to read the scriptures attentively.
"How about the Fuhai sent to you?"
Qiao Yu said perfunctorily, "Fuhai is very good! I'm very satisfied!"
Zhu Gaoshuai stretched out his hands and put them on Qiaoyu's hands and asked with a smile, "I came back so late. Don't you miss me?"
Qiao Yu couldn't resist him. He simply accepted the scriptures and looked at Zhu Gaosuo attentively, "The prince should have smiled more! Yuer likes to see you smile! When you don't laugh, don't be angry and look scary.
"Okay! I promise you!" Zhu Gaosui stood up and sat down again next to Qiaoyu. "Yuer, I'm discussing with Tingjuan today to celebrate your birthday. Do you have any special arrangements?"
"Your Majesty! ..." Qiaoyu stopped talking, and her face deliberately kept calm, but her heart was in a mess. It's really irregular to ask the princess to celebrate the birthday of a concubine. I don't know what the princess will think?
Zhu Gaoshuai was overjoyed when he saw that Qiaoyu was not expected, and he was a little disappointed. He stood up and said coldly, "Yuer, you are a little spoiled. I have never been so happy to others, and you are not happy at all!"
Qiao Yu also stood up quickly, took Zhu Gaoshui's left hand with both hands, and explained urgently, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood Yuer again!" The prince and princess both felt sorry for Yuer and put down their bodies to plan for Yuer's birthday. Yuer was naturally grateful. Qiaoyu raised her head and only saw a cold face. Her eyes were also cold, without the gentleness and excitement just now. Qiaoyu's eyes were shining against the red candle, as if she could speak. Zhu Gaoshuai only took a look and calmed down. He took Qiaoyu and sat on her lap, waiting for her to continue to speak. Qiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still whispered his heart, "It's just that this is really not in line with the rules!" The princess is generous, and naturally she won't pay attention to it, but what should the servants in the house think?
"I'm going to see who dares to chew his tongue!" Zhu Gaoshuai robbed Bai Dao.
Qiao Yu stretched out her right hand and blocked Zhu Gaosu's lips. She smiled helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, a person's tongue can break gold!" When Qiaoyu was in the Yan family, an elderly servant had done something wrong. Relying that she was an old man in Yan's house, she was taller than Qiaoyu. She did not accept Qiaoyu's punishment and embarrassed Qiaoyu in front of everyone. He said that an illegitimate daughter who didn't know his way was to dompress in Yan's mansion. Although the servant was later expelled from the Yan family, his uncle also gathered all the servants and servants of the family and solemnly said that Qiaoyu's father had passed away, so he lived with his mother in the Yan family. Qiaoyu's identity is open and upright. But after that, it still failed to stop the rumors. For a while, the whole Zhenjiang government knew Qiaoyu's identity. Therefore, until the age of 16, no one came to Yanfu to propose marriage. My uncle also betrothed Qiaoyu to Haoxuan in order to reassure his mother. Speaking of this, Qiaoyu's eyes are a little sour.
"Yuer, I never knew you were so bitter in your heart!" Qiaoyu covered Zhu Gaosuan's hands with her own hands. His hands were big and warm. Do you like Haoxuan?"
Qiao Yu listened to the question and laughed. A pair of smiling eyes looked at Zhu Gaoshuai and asked cutely, "Your Majesty, are you jealous?"
Zhu Gaoshuai suddenly blushed and replied cutely, "Yuer, you are my person, and you can only like me! Do you remember?"
Qiaoyu deliberately replied, "Go back to the prince's words, bitch, remember!" Zhu Gaoshuai tapped on Qiaoyu's cherry lips with satisfaction. Qiaoyu continued to say slowly, "For a long time, the prince has only been the princess. Now Yuer has only been in the house for a few months, and the princess actually celebrates Yuer's birthday. A concubine has such a favor. It is inevitable that some people will suspect that the princess is out of favor. If such a rumor spreads, it will be bad for the prince, the princess and Yuer. So please think twice! The prince knows all about Yuer's heart. It's just to calm people's affairs, and it's better not to bother the princess.
Zhu Gaoshuai was very gratified when he heard Qiaoyu's words. When I was a child, I watched a lot of farce about the favor of my father and king's concubines. What was hidden under the skin of the beauty was the heart of snakes and scorpions. Therefore, in the second year of Yongle, he was canonized as King of Zhao. After leaving the palace, there have been only two princesses. It was not until the sixth year of Yongle that the Xu family was abolished and Tingjuan was appointed as the princess, and no one had ever entered the house.
It's not that Zhu Gaosou doesn't love women, but that after losing Mo Chou, he has never met a woman who can make him scind. Until that day, a plain girl stood outside the gate of Beiyuan and cried bitterly, and the scene was as if she had seen it in a dream. At the moment when she lifted her hat, the softest part of her heart was tatched. This girl with a confused background is so similar to Mo Chou! Maybe this is God's blessing, which gives me another chance! In the first few days, he was indifferent to himself, and the light in his eyes disappeared, and there was only a pool of stagnant water in his eyes. But the moment she saw the young master of the Yan family, her eyes came to life again, and her eyes were full of light that made Zhu Gaosu jealous.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui laughed at himself and said, "Ruo Yiyuer, how should you celebrate your birthday?"
"Yuer wants to ask the prince for two things." Qiaoyu's eyes are full of tenderness. "First, Yuer wants to go to Xingguo Temple to worship the Bodhisattva on the day of her birthday and set up an elongation plaque for her mother. My mother has been wronged all her life. Now that she has left, Yuer can't keep filial piety for her mother. She should set up a card for her mother so that she can feel at ease in that life.
"It's right to be a child! This matter is based on Yuer! I will go with you."
"Second, Yuer wants to ask the prince for the jade pendants of the two pony."
"Oh? What's so difficult about this?" Zhu Gaosuo said loudly, "It's just that if you use this as a congratulatory gift, it will be a little shabby."
"A pair of dragon and phoenix children and Yu'er's birthday on the same day as the birthday of Brother En, the shopkeeper of Beiping is also a horse. Yuer wanted to ask for the jade pendant and send it to the two children. Qiaoyu answered with a light smile.
"Brother? Why did you call it so..." A burst of jealousy surged up.
Qiao Yu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it taste?"
Zhu Gaoshua solemnly replied, "I'm eating! How can you comfort me?"
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and shouted timidly, "Brother Sui!" As soon as he said the words, he quickly covered his blushing face with both hands.
"Good! Good call! When you are alone in the future, you can call me Brother Sui!" Zhu Gaoshuai is obviously very satisfied with the name Qiaoyu.
Qiaoyu let go of her hand and looked at Zhu Gaosui in surprise, "I have known Brother En since I was a child and treated him as my brother, that's why I called him that. It is inevitable for Yuer to call the prince like this! It's overrun like this! Lord, atone for your sins!"
Zhu Gaoshua deliberately raised his face and said indisputably, "Why not? I like it. I now order Mu's Qiaoyu. When I'm alone with me, I call my brother Sui!"
Qiaoyu got up, stood on the ground and looked at Zhu Gaosuo with great emotion. She said solemnly, "Brother Sui, how lucky Yuer is that she can be blessed by you. Yuer will treat you with all her heart!"
Zhu Gaosuo was also infected. He stood up and wrapped around Qiaoyu's slender waist. "Yuer, Gao Sui won you. What else do you want!"
"Brother Sui!" Qiao Yu shouted softly and buried her head in Zhu Gaoshuai's arms. Zhu Gaoshuai picked up Qiaoyu horizontally and entered the inner room.
