Chapter 67 Timid
The stone tablet in front of Mrs. Yu's tomb was wiped clean, and on it was an inscription carved by Yu Xingshu himself.Yu Qiu wiped off the dew on the surface of the stele, and after setting up the sacrifices, he opened his wet palms and said to Yun Heng: "Your Highness, there is a stream over there, can you help me get some water to wash my hands?.”
Yun Heng said: "Say it again."
Yu Qiu raised his wrist and wiped his cheek, thinking that his excuse was really bad, how could he send the prince to do chores.But she had already said it, so Yu Qiu shyly said: "Go, so that my mother can feel at ease."
"Keep an inch." Yun Heng said, then turned and walked in the direction she said.
When Yun Heng was about to put her off his back when they were approaching the cemetery, she said the same thing.He said that he wanted to talk to Mrs. Yu about the marriage, and asked Yun Heng to carry her to the grave, so that Mrs. Yu could rest assured that Yun Heng was so considerate to her.
This little weight is nothing to Yun Heng, seeing her happy, just follow her wishes.Unexpectedly, she saw that it was easy to use, so she used it endlessly.
The creek was not far away, and through the sparse branches and leaves, Yun Heng saw that Yu Qiu was almost glued to the tombstone. It seemed that he really had a lot of thoughts to tell Mrs. Yu.
I can't let him listen now, but it should be okay after we get married.Marriage can be put on the agenda, children... have to wait, after he ascends the throne.
The stream was gurgling, and the guard landed behind him, saying: "Your Highness, can you continue with the palace?"
"Continue." Yun Heng said.Captain Xiao has already come to worship, but what he promised must be done.
On the other side, Yu Qiu in front of the tombstone confided about the recent affairs of Yu's family, together with his inner feelings, and then reflected on the things he still needs to work on.
She counted them one by one with her fingers, and found that suddenly, there was only one problem left.
The Yu family was about to disappear, and the grandfather's family had already reconciled. Ge Qi didn't solve it, but under Yun Heng's hands, he had no chance to figure it out.The only thing left is the matter of "sister fairy".
Yu Qiu felt that the words in her heart were so harsh that she couldn't open her mouth. She looked around and saw that Yun Heng was still in the distance, lowering her head, her voice was thin and low, as if afraid of being heard clearly, and she spoke very quickly.
"In the previous dynasty, there was an emperor and his empress Liang who were childhood sweethearts. There was only this empress in the harem. The two loved each other all their lives. According to history books, this Empress Liang was a worthy empress through the ages." Yu Qiu hid and circled around.
"It is said that Emperor Qingwu, one of the ancestors of the royal family, sent all the beauties in the harem home for a favored concubine, and she was the only one in the rest of her life." Yu Qiu murmured, "I don't know if this is the case.True, but people say so, so it should be somewhat true.”
The remaining dewdrops on the branches and leaves were blown onto the tombstone. Yu Qiu knelt on the cushion to wipe off the water, then pulled her skirt to reveal her semi-wet embroidered shoes, looked at her toes, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Less is less!"A little bit, but still there, I, I think..."
She walked along the auspicious cloud embroidery pattern on the skirt with her fingers, stammered for a while, and changed the wording.
"Grandfather wants me to be a virtuous concubine, to persuade the prince to be a meritocracy, and to take care of the back house for him. The former should not be persuaded, the prince is already so good. The latter... I don't know, you see, there are only me and dad in the house, how can I take care of so many people, there is only one person in his back house... I can take care of it well."
She felt that these words were so difficult to say, no matter whether she expressed her meaning clearly or not, she would not repeat it after she finished speaking.
Afraid that Yun Heng would hear him, Yu Qiu glanced at him again, then rested his forehead on the tombstone, stroked his finger along the notch on the tombstone for a while, and said in a low voice: "If possible, I will take that ring-shaped jade pendantGive it to the prince, he will definitely ask me where I got it, and I will tell him everything.”
"I don't know if he will believe it..."
Yu Qiu babbled about what was on his mind, but before he could finish, he stopped quickly when he saw Yun Heng coming back.
She felt guilty when she saw Yun Heng, pretending to be depressed and not to look at him.
Near noon, the sun penetrated through the mountains, and the daylight finally became brighter. When the two went down the mountain, Yu Qiu was still carried by Yun Heng.She recalled the words she had said with Madam Yu, and her face resting on Yun Heng's shoulder slowly turned red.
With the brisk chirping of birds in the forest next to her ears, Yu Qiu felt that she should say something to test Yun Heng, but how should she speak?
Yu Qiu looked around, and when passing by a wild sunflower plant taller than a person, his dangling calf suddenly raised up, and he kicked lightly on the wild sunflower stem with his toes, and the dewdrops on the wide sunflower leaves rolled down one after another like pearls.A few drops fell on both of them.
Yun Heng turned his head and said, "I should have thrown you into the brook to wash up just now."
Yu Qiu laughed, rubbed his chin on his shoulder, and whispered: "Your Highness, I heard that the late emperor fought in all directions, he was diligent in his administration and loved the people, sometimes he ate and slept with his courtiers, and there were not many people in the harem, so there are few talented heirs.,is that true?"
She had a small plan, and when Yun Heng said yes, she would continue to praise the late emperor, and then bring the topic to Emperor Qingwu.
But Yun Heng didn't speak as she expected, glanced at her, and said, "Criticize the royal family."
"How does this count?" Yu Qiu heard that there was no warning in his words, and he became more courageous, arguing, "I'm a compliment, tell me, so that when I sacrifice to the emperors, I will feel calm in my heart."There is a bottom."
Yun Heng was persuaded by her that she is a princess and will be a queen in the future, so she should know something about the royal family.
"He does like to personally lead the army to quell rebellions, expand the territory, and discuss government affairs with his courtiers day and night, but the scarcity of heirs is not because of this." Yun Heng's voice was like calm water, and he said steadily, "He is a good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people.But the lack of offspring is not because of this, but because he is extremely afraid of water."
Yu Qiu: "What's wrong with being afraid of water?"
"I'm afraid of the water, I'm afraid I won't take a bath for a month, it smells bad, no concubine wants to come near it."
Yu Qiu: "..."
Yun Heng looked at her wrinkled face, raised the corner of his mouth, and said: "So he loves the days when he leads the army and fights the most. He is in the army, and no one takes a bath. No one can find fault with him."
Yu Qiu was dumb, and after walking for a while, she frowned and said, "Are you lying to me, I haven't heard of it at all..."
There are so many ministers staring at it, and the living man remembers the emperor's daily life. If it is true, there should be some rumors about it.
"With the merits of suppressing the rebellion and recovering the mountains and rivers, this little habit is nothing." Yun Heng seemed to think of something interesting, and there was a hint of a smile in his voice, "If you don't believe me, go back and ask your grandfather and see what he says.”
Yu Qiu's intentions fell through, and she walked forward for a while, and she directly mentioned Emperor Qingwu, the most famous deeds of this emperor, one is the reputation of a good emperor, and the other is the deeds of dismissing the harem for favoring concubines, this time there will be no mistakesBar.
"He likes to raise snakes, and he has to live and eat together. In the entire harem, only that beloved concubine is not afraid of snakes."
Yu Qiu heard that the hairs all over his body stood up, and there was a snake beside his pillow, how terrifying!
She was so frightened that she didn't make a sound for a long time. When her mind stabilized, she said angrily: "...Why are there so many of you..."
She stopped speaking disrespectful to the royal family in time, snorted and turned her head on Yun Heng's back.
"Our house?" Yun Heng pushed her up, snorted as well, and said coolly, "It will be your house from now on."
Yu Qiu blushed unexpectedly, and the hands on his chest hooked each other, not knowing how to speak.
Whatever the reasons are, it is always true that women are not good at sex.Forget it, she has long known that people in the royal family are not normal, and Yun Heng is indeed much better in comparison.Yu Qiu comforted herself.
She sniffed Yun Heng's back and smelled a good smell on him.
Yu Qiu felt that he was lucky. At least Yun Heng liked to be clean and didn't like insects and ants crawling on snakes. He wasn't like Yun Li who thought everything was dirty, and he wasn't like Yun Qiong who liked to eat dirty things.Lang also likes men, but Yun Heng is just poor at chess...
Yu Qiu suddenly remembered that Captain Xiao had asked her to pay more attention to Yun Heng, and she hesitated. Except for poor chess skills, Yun Heng has no other vices, right?
"You...well, you don't have those strange hobbies, do you?" Yu Qiu said cautiously.
Yun Heng moved his hand on the bend of Yu Qiu's leg, and stroked the thin cocoon at the tiger's mouth that had been honed with a knife all year round. After a moment of silence, he asked back: "If I have one, you will resist the order and refuse to marry?"
Yu Qiu hesitated and didn't answer right away.She is afraid of snakes, insects, the dark, and dirt. She is afraid of too many things. When she thinks about having a snake by her bed after getting married, her soul will be scared away.
Did not get her answer, Yun Heng said in a blunt tone: "The imperial decree has been issued, you have to marry if you don't marry."
"I can't say I won't marry." Yu Qiu was also angry, patted him on the chest, and said, "Let's talk about it first, I'm very timid, if you have any hobbies, you can tell me in advance, and you can't scare me in the future."Follow me..."
The two went down the mountain while talking, and when they saw the temporary residence, Yu Qiu panicked and remembered that this was not what she wanted to talk about at first, but there was no time to talk about it.
After sending Yu Qiu back to the farmhouse, leaving a few guards behind, Yun Heng took the people away.
Yu Qiu's goal was not achieved, and he was extremely annoyed. After thinking about it all afternoon, he decided to let the fairy sister talk to Yun Heng in his dream.
She even found experience from Yu Yanzong's matter, and once again drafted her speech in advance, she must use Yun Heng's words.This time, we won't talk about Yun's ancestors, but about her own grandfather, about Yu Xingshu, and about the Queen Liang from the previous dynasty.
Yu Qiu made all the preparations, but couldn't dream of Yun Heng for two consecutive nights.
And Yun Heng returned to the Crown Prince Residence, and after two busy days, he lit the incense of Yinmeng before going to bed to see Yu Qiu.Now he is more and more fond of this inexplicable technique of entering dreams, and it is wonderful to be able to meet in dreams even after two places are separated.
Yinmeng incense is very useful. After lighting it, he did dream of Yu Qiu, who was hugged by his relatives, but it was not the fairy sister he wanted.
Fortunately, he had a failed experience, thinking that Yu Qiu could not sleep peacefully.It's okay, see you tomorrow.
On the second night, he lit the incense again, but still failed to see Yu Qiu.
Yun Heng got up in the middle of the night, stared at the censer emitting green smoke, for a while, changed his clothes and went out.The guard said that Yu Qiu and Xiao Qingning were fine, there was no accident, she shouldn't have been awake for two days.
The night horse galloped, and when Yun Heng came to the foot of the mountain, everything was silent, it was the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping peacefully, only the guards noticed his arrival.
Yun Heng entered Yu Qiu's room, and under the bright moonlight, he saw two pairs of shoes neatly placed beside the bed.
Someone was on Yu Qiu's bed.
In an instant, killing intent shot out from his eyes, Yun Heng's finger bones creaked, and the long knife at his waist seemed to tremble with his master, clamoring for a drink of blood, wanting to experience the pleasure of piercing the flesh again.
Yun Heng closed his eyes, and when he opened them, resisting the urge to kill in his heart, he looked at the two pairs of shoes side by side again.
He calmed down.
This time he saw clearly that they were two pairs of embroidered shoes of the same size, both belonged to the girl's house.
