A concubine to be married dressed as a prince

Until Jiang Yanqing was lying on the bed, Chu Chengji still didn't know why he didn't eat the spicy food he liked, but went to eat the tasteless zucchini.

Chu Chengji went to the study room again, Jiang Yanqing was lying on the bed alone, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he kicked the quilt twice, kicked all the quilt to the ground, turned over to face the wall, and gritted his teeth fiercely .

If I knew it earlier, I would have eaten other dishes. What are you doing for those preparations?

Fortunately, the nights in summer were not cold, Jiang Yanqing felt sorry for herself for a while, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The candles in the study not far away were still on.

Chu Chengji crouched in front of the desk, writing and drawing on paper.His face was very serious, and under the reflection of the candlelight, the scar cast a heavy shadow on his face, adding a bit of gloom.

The sound of the four-watch gong was heard in the street.

Chu Chengji folded the several military layout maps he had drawn, and then blew out the candles.Taking advantage of the moonlight, he walked into the bedroom and closed the door carefully.

There is the sound of sleeping breathing in the room, light and shallow, soft and long.Chu Chengji stood at the door and listened for a while, feeling his heart soften with the sound of breathing.

He walked around the screen lightly and walked inside.Jiang Yanqing didn't cover the bed curtains, probably because the room was a bit stuffy with the windows closed, he stretched his arms and legs and put a big character on the bed, arrogantly occupying the entire big bed.

Chu Chengji bent down and picked up the thin quilt from the ground, and put it on Jiang Yanqing's stomach.He sat on the head of the bed, looking at the unconscious young man in his sleep.

Jiang Yanqing's face was really beautiful, his skin glowed porcelain white under the hazy moonlight, and his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.When he usually smiles, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of amorous feelings.Even when she was afraid of him, her brows and eyes were drooped, that kind of docile and pitiful, it was very attractive.

Now that he is sleeping soundly and defenseless, it makes people's hearts melt.

Chu Chengji had never seen such a good-looking man.His throat rolled, and he raised his hand to touch Jiang Yanqing's face, but he was afraid of disturbing his dream.

In the end, Chu Chengji just stroked his long hair that was scattered beside the pillow, then bent down and touched it lightly on his forehead.

Chu Chengji leaned on the head of the bed, looked at Jiang Yanqing contentedly for a while, closed his eyes and took a nap, changed into court clothes before dawn and went out.

After Jiang Yan woke up, he stared at the top of the bed and realized that this was the palace, his new sleeping place.

The surrounding is empty, just like before he fell asleep.

Chuxue combed Jiang Yanqing's hair, secretly watching his face, "I don't know what happened recently, the prince is so busy, he only came out of the study at four o'clock last night, and went out again before five o'clock."

The third night is twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the fourth night should be two or three o'clock in the morning, which means that the prince stayed up almost all night last night?

Jiang Yanqing suddenly raised his eyes, and looked at Chuxue in the bronze mirror, "My lord came out of the study last night, where did you go? Did you come back here?"

Chuxue nodded blankly, "Yeah, I guess I just took a nap and left before five o'clock."

Jiang Yanqing's heart beat a few times.He entered the room last night. There was only one bed in this room. If he wanted to rest, he had to lie beside him.

Maybe the prince is really busy, rather than unwilling to sleep with him?

Chuxue didn't know Jiang Yanqing's careful thoughts, and said melancholy to herself: "When I return home tomorrow, I don't know if the prince can spare time to accompany the princess. Everyone in the palace says that it's okay if the princess is not favored. I will go out. If the concubine goes back alone tomorrow, she might be laughed at behind the back by the people in the Hou Mansion."

Jiang Yanqing didn't care about these things. Seeing that the little girl was really worried, he had no choice but to comfort him and said, "They can talk as much as they like, and we can't control their mouths if they grow on them. But my ears grow on us, so I can choose not to listen."

"How can this be chosen? They might say something ugly behind their backs!"

Seeing that Chuxue didn't listen to persuasion at all, Jiang Yanqing didn't bother to waste his time talking, and said vaguely: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, or I won't go back."

"Why don't you go back to the door, that's the etiquette..."

Just as he was talking, Yan Mo said outside the door: "Princess, Vice General Qiu is going to see you."

To be honest, Jiang Yanqing is really not used to a big man being called by the princess.But if they were to call him by his first name, it would be a bit too ambiguous.Moreover, the feudal hierarchy of these people was deeply ingrained in their minds, even if Jiang Yanqing wanted to change it, he was powerless.

After two days of being awkward, Jiang Yanqing also became numb. He hadn't combed his hair yet, so he couldn't move around, so he raised his voice and said, "Then let him in."

Yan Mo outside the door did not respond.Chuxue whispered in Jiang Yanqing's ear: "Princess, this is an inner room, it's not good for outsiders to come in."

Jiang Yanqing understood after thinking about it, and changed his words: "Then tell him to wait in the front hall, and I'll go there right away."

Vice General Qiu was entrusted by the prince to forge armor for Jiang Yanqing.

Jiang Yanqing only saw Vice General Qiu when Chu Chengji carried him out of the sedan chair outside the palace on the wedding day.Deputy General Qiu was tall and thick, with a weather-beaten complexion. He was in his thirties, standing in the middle of the front hall, he had a lot of strength at first glance.

"General Qiu, why don't you sit down?" Jiang Yanqing sat on the nearest chair, "Chuxue, make some tea."

Seeing him sitting on the guest seat, Vice General Qiu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't bother much, and said straight to the point: "Princess, to make armor requires an iron furnace. Look, where is the appropriate place for this iron furnace?"

Jiang Yanqing's eyes lit up, "Is it just for me? Chu Cheng... the prince asked you to make me a suit of armor?"

Vice General Qiu nodded, "My lord said, the princess studied at a young age, which is different from us warriors. I'm afraid you won't be able to wear ordinary armor. Let me make you a frivolous one."

Jiang Yanqing pursed his lips and smiled, his heart was warmed by Chu Chengji's thoughtfulness, "Then I will trouble General Qiu."

"I've already brought the iron furnace over, Wangfei, where do you put it?"

"Let's put Xiyuan in there. No one lives in Xiyuan, it's still empty."

"Okay, I'll go and move the iron stove in."

Jiang Yanqing followed Vice General Qiu to the door, and saw a few soldiers carrying a one-person-high railroad, and other necessary equipment, which made up two carriages.

Jiang Yanqing rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly, "I'll help you move together!"

The soldiers were taken aback, and quickly stopped him, "Let's do the rough work, princess, be careful!"

Jiang Yanqing was persuaded to look aside for a while, but he still felt a little uncomfortable while others were doing the work, maybe he was not born to be a leader.Without any explanation, he stepped forward to move an iron piece.

It turned out that the thing looked small, but it weighed a lot.Jiang Yanqing staggered and almost dropped his hand on his foot.

"Be careful, princess, let me come!" A soldier wanted to take the iron piece from Jiang Yanqing's hand.

Jiang Yanqing saw that this person might not be as old as himself, and he couldn't hold back his face, so he gritted his teeth and lifted the things up, "It's okay, I'll exercise my muscles too."

Jiang Yanqing, who was exercising his muscles and bones, broke out in sweat after a while.However, after passing through for so long, although it is not considered rich and luxurious, it is still idle and free. It is the first time to work, and I feel that my muscles and bones are stretched, and I feel refreshed.

After moving the things, Vice General Qiu will start a fire for the blacksmith stove.Jiang Yanqing had nothing to do with him, so he was chatting with him next to him.

"How long will it take to build this?"

"As many as ten days, as little as seven or eight days."

"Are all the armors on your battlefield made like this?"

"The official position is different, and the armor is also different."

"Then can you give me another weapon? Can you shoot? Can you teach me?"

"The prince's marksmanship is as good as a god, and the princess can let the prince teach you."

……

Chu Cheng lowered his halberd and came back, his sharp brows and eyes slightly tired.Dongyuan could still hear the voice of servants reciting the names of dishes, which was much smoother than yesterday.

After walking around, Chu Chengji didn't find Jiang Yanqing.He frowned slightly, and asked Yan Mo: "Where is the princess?"

"My concubine is in Xiyuan, watching General Qiu forging armor." Yan Mo replied with his head down.

Chu Chengji changed his clothes, walked towards Xiyuan, and heard Jiang Yanqing's excited questions repeatedly from a distance.

Walking in, I saw Jiang Yanqing surrounded by Vice General Qiu, looking up at him with sparkling eyes and a face full of admiration.

Chu Chengji's face darkened, and he coughed.

Vice General Qiu turned his head and saluted Chu Chengji, "Your Highness is back."

Chu Chengji glanced at the iron furnace, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Yan saw Chu Chengji's expression clearly, and wanted to go up to thank him, but felt a little timid in his heart.

With such a bad complexion, you must have been scolded by the emperor, right?

But I still have to thank you, Jiang Yanqing lowered his head, walked to Chu Chengji's side, and whispered: "Thank you, I didn't know it would take such trouble."

Chu Chengji lowered his eyelids, and his eyes fell on Jiang Yanqing's hair. Seeing his completely different attitude towards him from that towards Vice General Qiu just now, his expression was indistinguishable for a moment.

Jiang Yanqing waited for a while, but didn't hear him say no thanks, so he raised his head in doubt, and met Chu Chengji's gaze.

Chu Chengji looked at his probing eyes, and sighed silently in his heart, "As long as you like it."

"I like it very much!" Jiang Yanqing nodded vigorously, seeing that Chu Chengji's face softened a little, remembering what Chu Xue said in the morning, and asked while the iron was hot: "My lord, are you still busy tomorrow?"

"What's the matter?" Chu Chengji asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Yanqing rubbed his ears, "I'm going back tomorrow, let me ask if you have time?"

Chu Chengji was silent for a while, and said apologetically, "Tomorrow I will go to the palace to discuss matters."

Hearing the numb voice, Jiang Yanqing nodded indifferently, and then heard Chu Chengji say: "I will try to leave the palace as early as possible and go to the Marquis's Mansion to pick you up."

Chu Chengji looked at Jiang Yanqing's ear tips that were gradually turning blood, lowered his head thoughtfully, leaned closer to Jiang Yanqing's ear, and said in a low voice, "Wait for me to pick you up tomorrow."

Sure enough, Jiang Yanqing's ears became even redder, and even the skin behind the ears turned pink, making his neck white.

Chu Chengji's eyes revealed an almost indiscernible smile.
