protect my lady

After Mu Qingchen celebrated her birthday, Fu Feiyu started packing her bags, planning to go back to the capital to spend the New Year with her family.

Mu Zixuan was the first one to show reluctance about this. When he heard that Fu Feiyu was leaving, he even turned down the friend's invitation, and came over to watch her trying to keep Fu Feiyu.

"Brother Fu, are you really leaving?" Mu Zixuan said pitifully, "If you leave, sister will be alone."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" When Mu Qingchen saw his younger brother, he couldn't help but think of the paintings that were still in the hidden compartment of his study, so he bent his fingers and tapped on Mu Zixuan's forehead, "What is a lonely person? No, you are going to drive me out of the house? Let me sleep on the street alone?"

"Sister, how dare I." Mu Zixuan covered his head and looked at Mu Qingchen accusingly.

Sister, brother, I am helping you to keep someone, it’s fine if you don’t help, why do you want to beat someone!

"Okay, Fei Yu hasn't seen his family for a long time, there is no reason to stop him or go back." Mu Zixuan's thoughts, Mu Qingchen can naturally guess, the intention is good but the idea is too childish.

"Don't worry, I'll be back after the Lantern Festival." Fu Feiyu looked at Mu Zixuan, who was like a treasure, and touched his head with a smile.

"Don't, you won't grow taller if you touch your head." Mu Zixuan shrank his head and took a step back, "It's only the tenth day of the lunar new year. If Brother Fu comes back after the Lantern Festival, it will be almost the end of the month here, so don't I want to I haven't seen you for nearly two months?"

Originally, Mu Qingchen just thought that Fu Feiyu was just going home for a new year, but after hearing Mu Zixuan's calculations, he also felt that Fu Feiyu had been away for a long time, almost two months.

"It shouldn't be two months." Fu Feiyu rubbed his chin, "According to my speed, it should take about five days from here to the capital, and it may take longer when I come back, so the time I leave is about 40 days. Many days."

"More than 40 days, that's a long time. Brother Fu, you only stay here for more than two 40 days." Mu Zixuan said dissatisfiedly, Brother Fu is so good-looking, what if he comes to the capital and is spotted by another girl? what to do.

According to his thinking, his sister should have taken down Brother Fu earlier, instead of being in an unknown place.

Fu Feiyu smiled, although she was reluctant to leave Qingchen, but she still wanted to go home.After all, she has to take advantage of this opportunity to gain the support of her father and mother, and strive to marry Qingchen back home next year.

"Okay, if you miss me, write to me, more than 40 days is enough for a letter back and forth." Fu Feiyu said.

Mu Zixuan thought about it for a while, and finally agreed. No one can stop him, and it's okay to leave him an address.

If Fu Feiyu doesn't come back, he can lead people to chase after him.

Just when Fu Feiyu left the address for Mu Zixuan, the concierge ran over with small steps.

"Mr. Fu, Lady Ye is back and is waiting for you in the front hall." The porter said while panting.

"Senior Sister is here?" Fu Feiyu put down the brush in his hand, his eyebrows were filled with joy, "Qingchen, let's go, let's go see Senior Sister."

Just like that, Fu Feiyu dragged Mu Qingchen away, walking all the way to the front hall with the corners of his lips curled up.

"Senior Sister!" Before reaching the door, Fu Feiyu shouted happily.

When she stepped over the threshold, she saw a person sitting beside Ye Qingyi, a person she was familiar with to the bone.

"Sister!" Fu Feiyu was not only happy now, she wanted to jump up to express her joy.

"Fei Yu." Fu Feichen looked over with a smile on his face, the nine-pointed faces of the two were enough to break all barriers.

Although Fu Feiyu and Fu Feichen are twins, they are completely different when they stand together.This difference does not refer to the appearance and dress, but the temperament of the surroundings.

Fu Feichen was wearing a simple black cross-neck robe with a dark golden auspicious cloud tattooed on the neckline. Although he had a kind smile on his face, the unknowing aura exuding from his body was enough to make people dare not look directly for too long.

Mu Qingchen could feel that Fu Feichen's aura was much heavier than that of the Suzhou prefect, and he didn't want to be an ordinary businessman at all.

After the two sisters had a long-lost hug, Fu Feiyu took Mu Qingchen's hand and began to introduce.

"Sister, this is Qingchen. I have been living in the Mufu for the past few months."

Fu Feichen nodded, "Tsing Yi told me all about it, next time you go out, remember to bring more money, and write to me if you don't have any."

After finishing speaking, Fu Fu Feichen cupped his hands towards Mu Qingchen, "Thank you, Miss Mu, for taking care of Feiyu these days. If there is anything that needs my help in the future, Miss Mu, just ask."

Fu Feichen had learned about his sister and Fu Feiyu from Ye Qingyi when he was in Tatar, and knew that the two in front of him were interested in each other.

However, Fu Feichen is not very optimistic about this relationship. In her opinion, her sister will recover her identity after she reaches the crown, and it is not a problem to be crowned king without accident.

Now the two are getting along relatively harmoniously, but what about after the identity changes?Could this shepherd girl still have such a pure feeling for her younger sister?

Facing the noble Marquis who is within reach, will she really be willing to follow Fu Feiyu who is a woman?

It's not that Fu Feichen doesn't believe in the relationship between the two, it's just that sometimes the guidance of the people around is too important, and sometimes it's difficult to be a firm self.

"Miss Fu was joking, it should be Fei Yu who has taken care of me a lot." Mu Qingchen bowed back with her hands clasped.

Isn't Fu Feiyu's elder sister her elder sister, how dare she accept the gift.

After the four of them sat down and chatted for a while, Fu Feichen explained the purpose of coming, and she came here specially to pick Fu Feiyu home for the New Year near the end of the year.

"Sister, I've packed up my salute and I'm planning to leave tomorrow." Fu Feiyu sat on the lower head of Fu Feichen, seeing that the tea in her sister's teacup was empty, she poured water diligently.

Fu Feichen nodded, "That's just right, if we set off tomorrow, we'll be back in time for the year before."

"Sister, did you just come back from Tatar?" After Fu Feiyu received the look Ye Qingyi gave him, he immediately thought of what he had promised to his senior sister, and quickly corrected his attitude.

Fu Feichen paused for a moment holding the teacup, the opening note seemed inexplicably familiar, "Yes, I just came back from doing business there."

"Is it cold over there? I heard that when it snows heavily in Tatar, people who go out can be frozen to death." Fu Feiyu put away the smile on his face, and his tone became serious, "The business over there Can you really make a lot of money?"

Fu Feichen put down his teacup, quietly turned his head to look at Ye Qingyi who was sitting on the side, and after seeing her indifferent face, he guessed what was going on.

Sure enough, there was a trick waiting for him, and Tsing Yi didn't say anything when he was in Tatar, and his feelings were based on the idea of ​​​​settling after autumn.

And he still used Fei Yu's mouth to teach himself a lesson, it's no surprise that Tsing Yi hit her deadly spot in one fell swoop.

"I'm not rushing to the end of the year to make a fortune so I can go home." Fu Feichen knew he was wrong, and his momentum weakened immediately, with a flattering smile on his face.

Fu Feiyu snorted dissatisfiedly, "Sister, although I call you Sister, you were only born a quarter of an hour earlier than me. If you ignore the opinions of my senior sister and me next time, go to Tartarus alone. Don’t blame me for being rude in such a dangerous place.”

You're welcome?

Fu Feichen raised his brows, with exaggerated surprise on his face, "Fei Yu, do you have the heart to do something to me?"

"Why can't you bear it?" Fu Feiyu imitated her elder sister, with a surprised expression on her face, "Elder sister is willing to go to Tartar to suffer by herself, why can't I bear it? Even if you are knocked unconscious and detained, It won't be worse than when you go to Tatar."

This... Fu Feichen was speechless for a while.

After seeing the helpless expression on Fu Feichen's face, laughter resounded from two different places in the hall.

"Sorry, I just thought of a very funny joke in the storybook, so I couldn't help it..." Mu Qingchen tried his best to hold the expression on his face, and tried his best to win Fu Feichen's respect.

Yes, that's it, she was not amused by the rich expressions on the faces of the two of them.

The source of another voice was not as considerate as Mu Qingchen's laying the steps, and he just laughed out loud, "Look, what don't you understand that even Fei Yu understands?"

Ye Qingyi took a sip of tea to soothe his throat, "Business is not only done in Tatars, but there are also opportunities in Jiangnan. Maybe you can make much more money than going to Tatars."

Fu Feichen naturally understood that Ye Qingyi had something to say, but compared to her roots in the south of the Yangtze River, she still felt that military power was the most important.As long as there are enough troops in hand, everything can be flattened.

In the two-on-one situation, Fu Feichen was undoubtedly defeated, and in the end he had to agree to the two of them that he would never go to Tatar to seek guilt in a short time.Even if you want to go, you have to go around summer.

Before Master Mu received the news, Fu Feichen and Ye Qingyi bid farewell.

Tomorrow they will leave for the capital, and Fu Feichen has to arrange some things during this day.

Especially after Fu Feichen knew that her younger sister planned to stay in Suzhou for a long time, she wanted to talk to the highest officials here, so as not to do anything that she shouldn't do.

Suzhou Prefecture belongs to Nanjing, and the Zuo Buzheng who is in charge of Nanjing happens to be from Fu Feichen's mother's side.

After sorting out the relationship, Fu Feichen wrote a letter to Zuo Buzheng when he went back.

Since Fu Feiyu could not reveal her identity before she was 20 years old, Fu Feichen had no choice but to declare that Fu Feiyu was her adopted son recognized by her mother.Because of the love of wandering in the rivers and lakes since childhood, he has been kept outside the palace.If something goes wrong, the left chief envoy needs to take care of it a little bit and so on.

After the letter was written, Fu Feichen took out the seal representing his identity, and securely left a private seal on the letter paper.

The Mu Mansion was very quiet at night, and Mu Qingchen lay on the bed early after washing.

Fei Yu will leave tomorrow, and I won't see her for the next 40 days.

Every morning when I wake up, no one teaches me sword skills, no one makes me soak in medicinal baths, and no one helps me channel my internal energy.

Thinking about it, Mu Qingchen suddenly felt no sleepiness at all, the matter of Fu Feiyu's leaving kept reverberating in her mind, and she couldn't shake it off no matter what.

After struggling on the bed for half an hour, Mu Qingchen still didn't feel sleepy at all, so he simply put on some clothes and sat up from the bed.

After groping to light the candles in the room, Mu Qingchen found a small box, took out the pocket watch Fu Feiyu gave her, and played with it in his hand.

The pocket watch will turn twice a day, and Feiyu will come back after it turns [-] times.

Mu Qingchen was lying on the table, resting his chin with one hand, squinting slightly at the pocket watch, trying to see clearly the rotation track of the pointer on it.

There was only one needle on the pocket watch, and Mu Qingchen looked at it for a long time before seeing the needle move, the range was very, very small.

The pocket watch turns so slowly, how long will she have to wait for Fu Feiyu to come back?

I don't know how long it took, but without Mu Qingchen noticing, there was another person standing outside her door.

Standing in front of the door, Fu Feiyu hesitated after seeing the candlelight in the house. Originally, she wanted to sneak in and leave something in Mu Qingchen's room.

But now that Qingchen is still awake, should he just knock on the door and go in, or wait for her to fall asleep and then act according to the original plan?

After standing outside the window and thinking for about a quarter of an hour, Fu Feiyu made a decision in his heart, bent his fingers and knocked lightly on the door frame three times.

"Qingchen, are you asleep?" Fu Feiyu asked softly.

Mu Qingchen got out of his own thoughts, realized that the person outside the door was Fu Feiyu, his face was overjoyed, then quickly put the pocket watch back into the box and hid it, casually took a book come out.

"Not yet, come in." Mu Qingchen said.

Fu Feiyu gently opened the door, came in lightly and then closed the door carefully, feeling like a thief.

"Qingchen, why haven't you slept yet?" Fu Feiyu sat down next to Mu Qingchen, and couldn't help stretching out her hand to help her pull the robe that was draped around her body.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Mu Qingchen's mouth, "It's not very sleepy, if you can't sleep, read a book first."

"Reading under the light at night is not good for your eyes." Fu Feiyu directly confiscated the book in Mu Qingchen's hand, "I'll bring you a few night pearls when I come back, and it won't be too late if you put a few in the room .”

Mu Qingchen paused, and Fu Feiyu's rich and powerful appearance successfully made her stunned. Is this using Ye Mingzhu as a candle?

What a big night pearl.

"Okay, I'll read when you bring Ye Mingzhu back." Mu Qingchen said calmly, regardless of whether she is rich or not, it would be nice if she could come back.

After talking about one or two topics casually, Fu Feiyu took out a jade pendant with some twitch, "Qing Chen, you can replace the jade pendant you want to wear with this."

The jade pendant in Fu Feiyu's hand was warm and moist, and judging by its fineness, it was not an ordinary item.

Mu Qingchen: "Didn't you already give me one?"

"It's different, that one has a peace talisman on it, and this is a jade pendant that I simply want to give you." It's used as a token of love!

Fu Feiyu was still a little thin-skinned, and the last half sentence was brewing in his throat for a long time before he could say it.

Just want to give it to yourself?Mu Qingchen took the jade pendant, and looked at it carefully by the candlelight.

The pattern on the jade pendant seemed to be a dragon writhing in the clouds, after some groping with his hands, Mu Qingchen finally touched some small bumps on the bottom of the jade pendant, as if they had engraved characters.

Fu - light dust.

Mu Qingchen's fingertips are very sensitive, and after tracing the edges of the characters several times, he has the answer in his heart.

In an instant, Mu Qingchen's heart was as sweet as honey.

"Since Fei Yu gave it to me, I'll accept it with the cheek." Mu Qingchen controlled the expression on his face, trying not to smile too silly.

"I'll give you something, of course." Fu Feiyu hinted vaguely.

"By the way, I'm away these days, Qingchen, you remember to keep practicing swords. As for the things needed for the medicinal bath, I've prepared them, and Fu Yi will prepare them when the time comes." Fu Feiyu said.

"Fu Yi won't go back with you?" Mu Qingchen asked with raised eyebrows.

Fu Feiyu shook his head, "My journey back is relatively fast, and I usually rush on the horse. I'm afraid Fu Yi won't be able to bear it if he doesn't have martial arts foundation."

Mu Qingchen nodded, it's fine for Fu Yi to stay, after all, he had a small thought.

It was late at night, Fu Feiyu didn't stay long after delivering the jade pendant, holding the confiscated book in his hand, he was about to get up and leave.

"Wait." Mu Qingchen said suddenly, stood up first, then turned around and took something from the cabinet.

"This is for you." Mu Qingchen stuffed the thing he was holding into Fu Feiyu's hand.

Fu Feiyu blinked, and looked at the things in his palm curiously, "Is this a pendant?"

"Well, just put it away." Mu Qingchen put her hands behind her back and stared at her toes, unwilling to explain too much about the origin of the pendant.

Fu Feiyu touched the pendant on his hand, "Can Qingchen help me put it on?"

Mu Qingchen raised his head and looked at Fu Feiyu, "Okay."

The pendant sent by Mu Qingchen is actually a small jade pendant with some irregular silver threads inlaid on the edge.

The strap of the pendant is a red string, Mu Qingchen raised his toes slightly, and quickly put the pendant on Fu Feiyu's neck.

Fu Feiyu touched the pendant, grabbed the neckline and put the small jade pendant next to her body.

"Qingchen, wait until I come back to marry you." Fu Feiyu held Mu Qingchen's hand with an extremely serious attitude.

Mu Qingchen met Fu Feiyu's scorching gaze, and slowly spit out a hello.

Looking at the beautiful face of his sweetheart in front of him, Fu Feiyu did something she didn't dare to do on Mu Qingchen's birthday, leaned down slightly, and touched Mu Qingchen's side face with her lips.

"Qingchen, you will only be mine."
