Chapter 48

There was a jar of ice in the dormitory, but Zi Rong and Lu Zhi were still covered with thin blankets. It was cold outside, but warm inside the quilt, and they slept very comfortably.

Sleeping all night, Zirong felt in a daze that Lu Zhi let him go and got out of bed, tucked him in the quilt and kissed him on the forehead.

Zi Rong vaguely heard what Lu Zhi said, and before thinking about it, she fell asleep again the next moment.

It's a pity that I couldn't stay clean for a while longer, the curtain of the bed that fell was raised again not long after, and the jade pendant called him softly: "Master...Master?"

Zirong took a nap for a while before slowly turning over, pulling the quilt with one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other, "Hmm... Where's Your Highness?"

Kneeling on the edge of the bed with one leg, Yuzhui waited for Zirong to get dressed while watching Zirong sit up and said, "Princess Gu Lun is here. Your Highness is talking with her in the main hall."

Zirong stared and nodded.

The sun rises early in summer, and on the second day they moved in, Yan Yu'an had someone add a layer of blackout curtains to the windows.Put it on at night and take it off in the morning.

The curtain has not been removed today, which means it is still very early.

Zi Rong covered her mouth and yawned, and asked, "Did Your Highness ask me to go out?"

Yuzhui said: "No, Princess Yuanqing also came along. He was waiting in the Nuan Pavilion at this time and said that he wanted to see you. Butler Yan asked his slaves to serve you."

Hearing Yuan Qing's name early in the morning, Zirong was a little excited in the sleepiness, and the movements of putting on clothes were much more agile.

...not a lot actually.

Last night, the quality of the land was not as fierce as it was during the day, it was completely reversed, and it was slowly wearing away Zirong.Zirong begged him twice before agreeing to move a little faster.After tossing and tossing until midnight, he finally showed mercy and let the trembling flower demon go.

The body is not the same tired, he was a little sore during the day, and completely exhausted at night.

When serving Zi Rongqi, although he was wearing a middle coat, there were still many traces for Yu Pendant to see.In addition, there was some slight movement in the room at night, and the maids who watched the night knew it. Yuzhui felt more unhappy when she thought about it.

She paused, but still couldn't help but said reluctantly: "The one who was waiting in front of her somehow found her way to the inner courtyard, and no one stopped her. She doesn't want to sleep, and she makes other people uneasy."

After going back and forth, Zirong saw that some jade pendants didn't like Yuan Qing very much.He thought, maybe Yuan Qing didn't talk much last time, which frightened her.

Zirong put on her little boots, bent down and took out a delicate purse from the drawer under the bed, squeezed out a gold ingot from it and stuffed it into the jade pendant with a smile: "Yuanqing is very nice, but he is easily shy. Look , I’ll give you this to play, you don’t need to come into the warm pavilion later, you can find a clean place and go to sleep later.”

Zi Rong looked out from the crack of the door, stretched her waist and exhaled, "It's really early."

While speaking, he had already washed up. The jade pendant has been on the job for so many years, but such a valuable reward has not been confiscated.

Jin Yuanbao's palms hurt a little, she wanted to kneel down to thank her, but Zirong held her back and said, "Okay, I'll go find Yuan Qing, I have nothing to do with you right now, hurry up and take a break."

It is the sleep-deficient young people who are prone to sleepiness when they get enough sleep, let alone today's situation.Zirong herself didn't sleep much, but she could empathize with Yu Pendant and sent her to rest.

With some tiredness on his face, he took two steps outside and suddenly stopped, then turned back and dug in the drawer for a long time, and came out with his arms full of things.

Last night, after hearing Yan Yu'an say that Yuan Qing was going to get married, Zi Rong didn't think about anything at first... Lu Zhi kept it a secret, and a word of gossip couldn't reach Zi Rong's ears. He didn't know anything, so he couldn't think too much .

He thought Yuan Qing was here to play with him, and when he stepped into the room, seeing Yuan Qing who raised his head with a pale face, Zirong felt a little bad.

Qiuyue and Xia Yun were pointed at by Yuzhuo, fearing that Zirong would be bullied by Yuan Qing, they wiped here and there in the room, but refused to leave.

Zirong didn't even think of asking them to go out, but slowly approached her, put aside the playthings in her arms, and tentatively reached out to touch Yuan Qing's arm, who lowered her head: "Yuan Qing, what are you doing?" Are you uncomfortable? Don’t be sad, I’ll ask someone to make hot soup for you, okay?”

His comforting voice was soft and waxy, he kept it low because he cared about Yuan Qing's emotions, and it sounded very ironic.Yuan Qing shook his head, bit his lip and said nothing.

The two maids listened to the movement here, for fear that Yuan Qing would say something unruly.

They have been serving Zirong for a long time, and they know best that although she usually doesn't care about anything and looks silly, she only cares about King Yu. Before going out, she often tells King Yu softly: "These days Lilac is open, but you are not allowed to look at it, so come back early to accompany me."

Although I don't know what it means to not even let the flowers be seen, but since it has been so long, King Yu has not given any other housemates except him, so he can know that King Yu cares about him.

When Zi Rong first arrived, she was obviously always timid, and her voice was so high that she could almost scare him.Now this soft and waxy squeamishness is obvious to all, and Prince Yu has petted him a little bit. The prince himself can't wait to hold his hands and pamper him, so they don't want to be in trouble.

If the fact that King Yu already had a marriage contract was leaked under their noses, this crybaby doesn't know how sad it will be. When the prince's face becomes dark, will they still have a good life?

No matter when the prince intends to hide it, before the concubine enters, the most important thing in the mansion is Zirong, Qiuyue and Xia Yun know.

Yuan Qing didn't speak on the couch. After a while, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the backyard holding Zi Rong's hand.The two servant girls hurriedly wanted to follow, this time Zi Rong looked at her, waved her hands and whispered: "No need to come, I will stay with her for a while."

Xia Yun and Qiuyue had no choice but to stand at the door and look around.The two maids were complaining about Yan Yu'an, they didn't know what to think, Yuan Qing said that he wanted to see Zi Rong, so he ordered Yu Pendant to call.

Zi Rong and Yuan Qing sat down on the wicker chairs under the grape arbor. It was only the first light of day, and the sun had not yet risen. There were little crystal clear dewdrops hanging on the grape leaves, and the breeze blew through, bringing some coolness.

Zirong babbled for a long time, comforting Yuan Qing not to be sad, and then asked her what's wrong, Yuan Qing just ignored people, didn't know what she was thinking, and looked in a daze.

Zi Rong was not discouraged either, she turned around and picked up the scattered soft pillows behind the wicker chair, stuffed one into Yuan Qing's arms and asked her to hug her, and said, "Yuan Qing, aren't you happy to get married?"

Yuan Qing said: "That depends on who you marry."

Zirong nodded slightly: "Yeah."

He thought, I am very happy to marry His Highness...

Yuan Qing picked at the silk thread on the soft pillow with his fingers, and said flatly, "But I'm fourteen, no matter who it is, it's time to get married."

Zi Rong still nodded: "Well..." He looked at Yuan Qing's flushed eyes, and there was a distance of two palms between the two of them. I didn't know how to pat Yuan Qing on the shoulder, and said: "If you don't want to get married, you can come to live with me. This place is much bigger than when you were in the palace. There are many empty rooms. You can choose whatever you want."

Yuan Qing turned to look at him, scrutinized him carefully, trying to find an expression of bravado on his face, she said, "If you want me to live in your house, that's fine, and my cousin must marry me."

"what……"

Zi Rong opened her mouth halfway, unable to think of what to say for a while.

"As I said just now, I have to marry someone. Why don't you marry my cousin? Don't you like to play with me? Then you can play together every day." Yuan Qing looked at him and said.

Zi Rong frowned, and hurriedly said to Yuan Qing: "Who said that if you don't marry Lu Zhi, you can't live in our house?"

"No."

After a long while, Zirong blushed so much that she staggered and said, "No, no, Lu Zhi... Lu Zhi has already married me, you, you...he, married me, and cannot marry someone else..."

Yuan Qing straightened his back, and stared at Zirong with two eyes: "Why can't you marry? You are just a Tongfang with no status... Connecting rooms are not counted, and Tongfang has to report his name to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even if he is with you every day now, if the concubine enters the door in the future, you will be nothing!"

Zirong's face froze, and he didn't even know what expression to make when facing the stern Yuan Qing, "We are married, Your Highness and I are married."

"To get married, you need to carry a big sedan chair to marry in. What's the point of saying sweet words to you on the bed?" Yuan Qing said: "I'm going to marry my cousin. I'm going to ask the emperor today, and I'll marry in tomorrow!"

When she said this, Zirong stood up in a hurry, and she didn't pay attention when she started violently. She was hit on the head hard by the grape shelf. The flower demon's eyes were red, and she covered her forehead and shouted angrily: "I won't allow it!"

"It's no use forbidding you. My uncle ordered him to marry me. If he doesn't marry me, he's resisting the order! If he resists the order, he will be beheaded!"

Zi Rong wiped her eyes vigorously with her sleeve, not to cry in front of Yuan Qing, but his lips trembled so much that he choked up for a long time, and could only say: "Yuan Qing, you are necrotic, I will never play with you again Already! I hate you!"

Yuan Qing threw away the soft pillow in his hand, met Zirong's gaze and stared back: "I hate you too! Don't think that just pretending to be innocent will make everyone like you, only my cousin is blind!"

Zi Rong didn't want to see her anymore, she turned around and covered her forehead with one hand and wiped her tears with the other, and walked into the house, Yuan Qing still shouted behind him: "Just wait, I will marry in tomorrow!"

The soft soles of the blue satin boots were silent when they walked, but now they were slapped by Zirong's stomp.

Lu Zhi sent Gu Lun away, and when he came back, he was about to enter the house to look for Zirong, who was supposed to be asleep, when he saw someone coming in through the small door crying, and he saw his tears fall, and he stood at the door and cried: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...Lu Zhi, woo woo woo woo..."

The appearance of the flower demon was really pitiful, Lu Zhi frowned instantly, strode over to pick up Zirong and sat down at the table, and asked repeatedly: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Zi Rong's crying maids were trembling, they didn't dare to go over because Lu Zhi was in front of them, they shrank aside and waited tremblingly.

Zirong was very angry, being held in Lu Zhi's arms, she only knew to cry, tears fell one by one, she was not as careful as usual, she didn't cover her voice at all, she cried and trembled, which made Lu Zhi anxious.

He pulled him into his arms, and it took him a long time to remember to pull Zirong's hand that had been covering his head.

After pulling it down, a palm-sized red mark went straight into Lu Zhi's eyes, his face darkened, and his voice became tense, which was different from the nervousness when he saw Zi Rong just now, and asked coldly: "how did you make it?"

Zirong sobbed and buried her face in Lu Zhi's neck, which immediately made Lu Zhi's neck wet. After sobbing several times, she said vaguely, "I, I bumped into it myself, on the grape shelf."

After speaking, Zi Rong stopped, Lu Zhi tilted his head and kissed the back of his head, and asked the girl to pass on to the doctor. His heart ached, and he asked Zi Rong: "Who was with you in the backyard just now?"

When he asked, Zirong cried again, hugging his neck tightly and yelling: "I don't allow it! I don't allow it! You marry me, you are not allowed to marry Yuan Qing, woo woo woo woo..."

Lu Zhi frowned, but he made more comforting movements. He gently kicked his legs, and then patted Zirong's back with his hands: "No marriage, no marriage, no one will marry except you, stop crying, do you still need eyes?"

Zirong was so angry that she obviously couldn't listen to a word, sobbed a few times and then raised her head, sobbing to Lu Zhi out of breath, "Kiss me."

"Okay." Lu Zhi leaned over and kissed his wet lips twice, and wiped the tears on his face with his hand: "I only like you, and it's not like you don't know it. You see that I care about you every day. Who? No one is as beautiful as my heart, is there?"

"No, woo woo woo... Yuan Qing is pretty, woo woo woo woo..."

After asking a few words, Lu Zhi probably knew what was going on, but he had never seen Zi Rong cry like this before, his heart was wrenching, and he couldn't spare any energy to get angry with Yuan Qing.

He supported Zirong to change his position, let Zirong sit on his lap facing each other with his legs apart, coaxing him warmly.It seemed as if she was going to use up all the patience in this life, Zirong still covered her eyes and cried, but she still couldn't see him getting a little impatient.

The two of them were crying and coaxing each other here, when they suddenly heard a cold snort, Lu Zhi turned his head, and it was Yuan Qing standing there, who had been watching for an unknown how long.

Lu Zhi was still gently stroking Zirong's face with his hands, but his eyes looking at Yuan Qing were extremely cold.

Yuan Qing always knew that Lu Zhi cared about Zirong, but now he watched his sweetheart coax him, and when Zirong cried, he seemed to be able to gouge out Zirong's heart, and his chest was still throbbing.

"I will tell my mother that I have met Rong Qiang in private... the eldest prince of Wusun Kingdom, I made an agreement with him first, and I begged you not to accept this verbal engagement."

"I said this not for you, but for him. He is stupid. You will believe it when you say you are married, but you are not stupid. In the end, if you really cheated him out of conscience, I have no choice but to treat him as blind. And voluntarily 'fulfilled' the joke."

The mark on Zirong's forehead still touched Lu Zhi's heart. He didn't want to talk to Yuan Qing for a moment, and quickly retracted his eyes, saying: "He is not stupid, and we don't need anyone to make it happen. What will we pay after the choice?" I knew the price from the beginning, and I could afford it."

Zirong wiped tears on his shoulder, and Lu Zhi lowered his head and asked in his ear, "Does your headache hurt?"

Yuan Qing no longer looked at the two of them cuddling closely, and walked away with her eyes slightly red.
