Oops, the male villain looked at me with affection in his eyes

The two of them seemed to be in sync with each other and walked faster and faster. In a short while, they arrived at the palace gate.

Thirteen had been waiting at the door for a long time. After Chu Ye instructed them to go to Daxiangguo Temple, he pulled Ning Yu into the carriage.

As soon as he entered, Chu Ye pressed Ning Yu into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her soft and tender red lips.

Chu Ye wanted to do this since the moment he saw Ning Yu at the palace gate.

Ning Yu put her arms around Chu Ye's neck and slowly responded to his kiss.

Chu Ye's heart was filled with excitement, and he wished he could rub Ning Yu into his own bones and blood.

After the kiss, Chu Ye put his forehead against Ning Yu's and asked hoarsely, "Have you received the jewelry from Babao Pavilion?"

Ning Yu looked at Chu Ye's affectionate and gentle eyes and nodded slowly:

"I received it. It's very beautiful. But those two pieces of jewelry are too valuable. I don't think I have any occasion to wear them."

Chu Ye raised his lips upon hearing this, and couldn't help but kiss Ning Yu's red lips:

"Don't talk nonsense. After you get married, you will be the wife of the Marquis of Yongyi. Even if you are just the wife of the Prime Minister, you can still wear those two pieces of jewelry."

He raised his hand to tuck Ning Yu's long hair that fell beside her ear and said:

"I have ordered people to sort out the private vaults of the prime minister's residence. I have drawn up a list in the past two days and will show it to you. It will be your betrothal gift when we get married."

Ning Yu played with the buttons of Chu Ye's court dress and said casually:

"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Just prepare a few items. It's more troublesome to carry them around."

Chu Ye's heart was filled with warmth when he heard this. He lifted Ning Yu's chin and looked into her sparkling eyes.

Ning Yu had very beautiful eyes, which shone brightly when she looked at people.

At this moment, those bright black eyes were fully reflecting Chu Ye's figure, as if he was the only one left in those eyes and in that heart.

Chu Ye couldn't help but kiss her eyes and said with a smile:

"Yu'er is really a good wife to your husband. Are you planning to bring all the betrothal gifts back to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Ning Yu pushed him away in embarrassment.

Chu Ye was unmoved. Seeing Ning Yu's cheeks turn slightly red, he couldn't help but kiss her cheek again.

He held Ning Yu's little face in his hands, looked at her and said seriously: "My Yu'er, you deserve the best."

In the spacious carriage, the two hugged each other quietly.

Before I knew it, the carriage had stopped.

Thirteen said respectfully outside the car door: "Master, we have arrived at Daxiangguo Temple."

Chu Ye pulled Ning Yu up, and they both got off the carriage together.

The two entered through the side door and walked towards the mountain behind the temple.

Chu Ye held Ning Yu's small hand in his big palm and said slowly:

"It is inconvenient for outsiders to know the rankings of my parents and brothers, so they are hidden in my meditation room and taken care of by a special person."

The two of them walked around two rows of meditation rooms where pilgrims from the temple stayed, and Ning Yu's eyes suddenly brightened.

Looking into the distance, you can see several exquisite and unique Zen temples scattered on the mountain behind.

Ning Yu raised his eyes and saw his own Zen temple. Not far up was the Zen room where he and Chu Ye played chess last time.

She pointed to the Zen room halfway up the mountain and said, "Over there."

Chu Ye nodded slowly: "Walking is too slow, let me take you up."

Seeing Ning Yu nod, he picked Ning Yu up horizontally and said, "Hold on tight."

Ning Yu smiled and put her hands on Chu Ye's neck, burying her head in his neck.

Chu Ye pushed hard with his feet, and in a moment they reached Chu Ye’s meditation room halfway up the mountain.

A young monk was cleaning the courtyard. When he saw Chu Ye and Ning Yu coming, he clasped his hands together, bowed to Chu Ye, and slowly retreated.

Chu Ye led Ning Yu to the inner room and pressed the mechanism on the wall.

The wall slowly opened, and Ning Yu saw dozens of Hua family tablets inside, with eternal lamps burning in front of them.

The two of them lit incense and candles and knelt side by side on the cushion, respectfully holding the incense and candles high above their heads.

Chu Ye's voice was heavy, and he said slowly:

"Father, mother, and relatives in the clan, all those who framed the Hua family have now been executed. The emperor posthumously conferred the title of Marquis of Yongyi on father. Today, Ye'er and his fiancée Ning Yu come to inform you of this. I hope that the spirits of my parents in heaven will be relieved and smile."

Ning Yu slowly and synchronously bowed three times with Chu Ye, and they both stood up and inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner in front of them.

Chu Ye looked at Ning Yu's serious and respectful appearance, and couldn't help but pull her over and said:

"Now that you and I have met each other's family elders, let's set a date for the wedding and get married as soon as possible."

Ning Yu nodded.

Chu Ye closed the wall and took Ning Yu down the mountain.

On the way, Chu Ye pointed to Yunfeng Mountain not far away and said:

"Shen Lanzhong has now been demoted to King Zhong, and will be going to his fiefdom soon. The Yunyan Pavilion there has been left for my master to stay in. I will make it my own manor in the future. If you feel bored, I will take you there to stay for a few days."

Ning Yu then recalled the day when Chu Ye kissed her with Chinese medicine in Yunyan Pavilion.

It was also from that time that Chu Ye no longer suppressed his emotions, and from time to time he would look for opportunities to get close to her and be intimate with her.

Thinking of what had happened before, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips and responded softly.

On the way back, the two of them cuddled together for a while before Chu Ye sent Ning Yu back to the Duke's Mansion.

Before getting off the car, Chu Ye kissed the corner of Ning Yu's lips and said:

"Xiuniang from Ruyi Pavilion will come to the mansion to measure the size this afternoon. Once Yu'er and Madam have chosen the style of the wedding dress, let the embroiderer prepare it."

Ning Yu nodded gently.

Chu Ye watched Ning Yu enter the gate, then hurried back to the palace.

There have been significant personnel changes in the court recently, and the ministers are inevitably uneasy. There are many matters that need his review and processing.

When we returned to the Yangxin Palace, Shen Yuanchang and his son were playing chess.

Shen Lan'an sat in a corner, looking respectful and calm.

Although Shen Yuanchang looked gloomy, he looked extremely satisfied with his youngest son.

Seeing Chu Ye coming back, he smiled and pushed the chessboard and said, "I thought you must have something important to do with the beauty, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Chu Ye cupped his hands and said, "Yu'er has to go back home to make wedding clothes, so I will send her back first."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanchang raised his finger and pointed at Chu Ye and said with a smile:

"I never thought that in my lifetime, I would see the Prime Minister, who is usually steady, so anxious."

Chu Ye thought of his own anxious mood and raised the corners of his lips as well.

He said slowly: "Since the little prince has come to the palace, he can follow me and take a look at the memorials."

Shen Yuanchang looked at Shen Lan'an with a somewhat gloomy expression:

"With you as the Prime Minister, I believe the prince will be able to take charge of the government soon and become a wise ruler who strengthens the country and serves the people in the future."

At this time, Chunying came in with a medicine bowl and walked to Shen Yuanchang: "Your Majesty, your medicine is ready, drink it and take a rest."

Shen Yuanchang nodded.

Chu Ye watched Shen Lan install the chess pieces and slowly walk towards him.

The two of them bowed slowly, and Chu Ye said, "In that case, I will take the little prince away."

Shen Yuanchang was supported by Chunying and walked to the bed. Hearing this, he raised his hand slightly and said, "Go."

Chu Ye led Shen Lan'an all the way to the Qinzheng Hall, and Shen Lan'an followed behind Chu Ye in silence.
