C15 Ping Yang Came to Visit

The next day, Dugu Jingyu woke up early and busied herself in the kitchen, preparing breakfast for Zhu Qing, but Dugu Jingyu, who was cutting vegetables today, was obviously absent-minded.

Dugu Jingyu couldn't sleep last night, and after a hundred confirmations in her mind, she silently agreed that Zhu Qing had sneaked out of the mansion to find Dugu Qingluo.

Every time she thought about how Zhu Qing had been with Dugu Qingluo for ten hours at night for two days, Dugu Jingyu's heart would twitch in pain.

"Ah!"

Due to Dugu Jingyu's carelessness, she accidentally cut her finger. Although the wound was not serious, it still bled a lot.

Zhichun immediately used a handkerchief to wrap around Dugu Jingyu's finger and shouted, "Call the imperial physician, quickly call the imperial physician over."

Just as Zhixia, who was standing at the side, was about to go find the imperial physician, Dugu Jingyu called out, "There's no need, this small injury is fine."

Zhichun still blew on Dugu Jingyu with her mouth worriedly, then folded the handkerchief and tied a knot on Dugu Jingyu's wound.

Dugu Jingyu threw away all the blood-stained vegetables. At first, Zhichun thought that Dugu Jingyu was going back to recuperate, but she did not expect Dugu Jingyu to pick up the kitchen knife and start 'chopping' again.

Zhichun sighed and said earnestly, "These things are made and not eaten by the princess. They are all sent to Prince Consort, but Prince Consort might not even eat them. Why bother to hurt yourself?"

Dugu Jingyu stabbed the kitchen knife into the chopping board, as if to vent her anger, and all the servants in the kitchen knelt down.

"Princess, please calm down."

Dugu Jingyu was stunned for a moment before she pulled out her kitchen knife and continued to cut the vegetables. This time, even Zhichun did not dare to say another word. Dugu Jingyu had made up her mind to make breakfast. To her, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she would persevere.

In a short while, Dugu Jingyu had made a table full of delicious food.

"Zhixia, pack these up before Prince Consort wakes up..." Dugu Jingyu said what she had said in the past, but she was stunned once again. She knew that Zhu Qing was awake now.

Zhixia saw that Dugu Jingyu did not speak for a long time and asked, "Princess?"

Dugu Jingyu regained her senses, but lost her soul. "Send them to Prince Consort."

"Yes."

Zhixia began to fill the box with food and left the kitchen.

Dugu Jingyu also left the kitchen. When she returned to the dormitory, she was as restless as boiling water. She really wanted to go and see Zhu Qing, but she was a little irritated right now, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her emotions and make Zhu Qing unhappy.

Dugu Jingyu first looked at the book, then played the zither, forcefully controlling her longing for Zhu Qing. It wasn't until past noon that Dugu Jingyu calmed down and the calm Dugu Jingyu remembered that she had something to do.

"Zhichun."

Hearing Dugu Jingyu's voice, Zhichun immediately walked forward and said, "This servant is here."

Dugu Jingyu let Zhichun get closer and whispered in her ear: "Go to the warehouse and give the Luminous Pearl of the Western Region tribute to the Ping Yang Princess's servant girl, Zhiqin, to bequeath the Luminous Pearl to Young Master Zhu."

"Yes."

Zhichun bowed and nodded. Although she was curious who Young Master Zhu was, Dugu Jingyu did not say, and she did not dare to ask.

After Zhichun left, Dugu Jingyu waved her hand at Zhixia, who was guarding the door, and Zhixia immediately came forward to bow. "This servant is here."

"Go and check that the back door of yesterday's son was guarded by those two guards. In a place where no one is around, each of you will be rewarded with four ingots of silver."

"Yes."

After taking care of these trivial matters, Dugu Jingyu felt a little better and began to play the zither again. In her extremely relaxed state, the kiss with Zhu Shuang suddenly flashed across Dugu Jingyu's mind, followed by the gentle words that Zhu Shuang had said.

Dugu Jingyu's mind was in a mess, so the sound of the zither naturally became chaotic. This time, not only was Dugu Jingyu irritated by the matter of Zhu Qing, she was also desperately trying to forget all of her memories of Zhu Shuang.

Suddenly, Dugu Jingyu's palace door was violently pushed open. Dugu Jingyu stopped and looked up to see that it was Dugu Pingyang who had rushed in, followed by Zhiqin and Zhichun.

"How can Yu's zither be so unsightly?"

This time, Dugu Jingyu, who was surrounded by no one, did not care about any etiquette and calmly asked, "What's the matter?"

Dugu Pingyang sighed and sat down beside Dugu Jingyu. "Did you go to the Floating Immortal House to save me last night?"

Dugu Jingyu nodded, and Dugu Pingyang said somewhat reproachfully: "Isn't that right, you said that you were looking for me when you went to the Floating Immortal House to save me, why did you barge into someone else's house, why did you use my identity to steal people! If you want to rob someone, so be it. Why did you have to come up with a story about a prince consort sent by the yamen to catch a adulterer? "

Dugu Jingyu turned her head quickly and knew that it was Ho Lanang's group that had leaked the wind. Dugu Jingyu told Dugu Pingyang the whole story.

Dugu Pingyang let out a long sigh. "This matter is now being spread all over the city. My reputation! You have ruined it. Do you know how I left the Princess' Mansion today? I left the Princess' Mansion because I was ashamed of what the emperor's son-in-law said. "

"I don't have a good reputation. There are five or six boys in the house, and I know what you've done. This is just an excuse."

"Easy for you to say! Forget it. Let's not talk about this." Dugu Pingyang rolled her eyes at Dugu Jingyu, then dismissed all the servants in the room. She then asked curiously, "Hurry up and tell me if that Young Master Zhu has anything special about him, since he was able to make Yu pamper him a second time."

Dugu Jingyu was a little embarrassed by this. She first took a sip of tea and then slowly said, "I did not stay at the Floating Immortal House yesterday."

When Dugu Pingyang heard this, she was unhappy and clapped her hands as if she was at a disadvantage.

"Isn't this the same as selling my reputation and not getting any benefits?"

"The biggest benefit is that you can return to the mansion safely."

"But just now, your palace maid asked Zhiqin to pass the Night-Luminescent Pearl to Young Master Zhu. Is this what you want?"

"Yes."

Dugu Pingyang grabbed Dugu Jingyu's hand, looked at Dugu Jingyu sincerely, and said: "Tell me honestly, do you agree with Young Master Zhu in your heart? Why else would you give away such a treasure so easily? As long as you tell me that you like that Young Master Zhu, I will definitely do everything I can to send it to the Princess' Mansion for you."

Dugu Jingyu's pupils dilated noticeably. Dugu Pingyang's words had undoubtedly poked into a zone that Dugu Jingyu did not dare to yearn for.

"If I had never met Zhu in my life, or if I had never married, I might have fallen in love. But the situation is already set, so I have to abide by the three virtues and four virtues for Zhu. You also know that I only yearn to be a couple in my entire life. I don't want too many people around me. "

Dugu Pingyang patted Dugu Jingyu's hand in exasperation and then lectured, "What era is this? I really don't know what you veiled people are thinking. Now that it's the Great Empress World, women should be respected."

Seeing that Dugu Jingyu did not speak for a long time, Dugu Pingyang continued: "Even if you were to find someone to entrust your life to, that person shouldn't be Prince Consort. Loyalty, power, wealth, and appearance are four things."

"That's enough, Pingyang. You don't have to say anything more. I've already decided on Zhu, for no other reason than that he's Zhu Qing."

Dugu Pingyang gritted her teeth in anger at Dugu Jingyu's point of view, but because of Dugu Jingyu's face, she could not say anything more.
