Chapter 120 Collapse
"Huh, I'm finally home!" After Zhu Yu finished washing up, she lay down on her soft bed. She felt as comfortable as if she was in the clouds. During this time in the military camp, the bed was hard, the quilt was dirty, and the food was shoddy. Even though she was taken care of by Prince Jing, she still suffered a lot. She felt deeply the difficulties of the soldiers. It was not that she could not endure hardships, but some hardships were unnecessary. For example, in terms of food, since she had the skill to produce food, there was no reason to watch the soldiers starve and freeze, so she secretly planned whether she could find an opportunity to ask for the approximate location of various military camps and secretly deliver some food and grass. She was not a big shot and her thoughts were simple. She just did what she could.
"Miss, you are finally back. We have missed you so much." Xiaoying brought her favorite fruit tea and approached her with a smile. Zhu Yu was indeed a little thirsty. She struggled to get up and took the fruit tea from Xiaoying's hand. She gulped down two gulps and said, "Did anything new happen during the time I was away?"
Xiaoying looked at Xiaohua who was standing quietly at the side. Both of them looked as if nothing had happened. Zhu Yu knew that there was nothing to eat. After a while, Xiaoying slapped her head and said, "Look at my memory. There is indeed one thing. It is said that last night, the bedroom where a concubine lived collapsed in the palace. This kind of thing has never happened in the palace in these years, so many people say that the bedroom may be haunted."
"Oh." Zhu Yu was not interested. If it collapsed, it collapsed. What does it have to do with ghosts and gods? The ancients were really superstitious.
After a rest in the afternoon, Zhu Wenyun led Zhu Yu into the palace at nightfall. As soon as they stepped into the threshold of the imperial study, they saw Prince Jing standing tall in the room.
Prince Jing was dressed elegantly tonight, wearing a purple gold crown on his head, inlaid with rare gems, which radiated a low-key and restrained light; when his handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes looked at Zhu Yu, his eyes contained a vague emotion. The brocade robe he wore was embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, which fluttered gently with his gaze. This brocade robe perfectly set off his straight pine-like posture and elegant jade-like temperament, and the jade belt tied around his waist perfectly showed his tight and slender waist curve.
Zhu Yu felt that he had made a fortune after seeing this.
I seem to understand the saying: To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost.
After paying respects to the Emperor, the Emperor granted Zhu Wenyun a seat, leaving Prince Jing and Zhu Yu standing side by side. The Emperor and Zhu Wenyun said nothing, just looking at the two of them. The more they looked at them, the more they liked them. Although the decision to let Zhu Yu accompany Prince Jing to the expedition was a bit risky, the result was not bad.
Zhu Yu felt a little frightened by the emperor's gaze. She turned her head to glance at Prince Jing, who was also looking at her and gave her a reassuring look. How to describe this interaction for the emperor and Zhu Wenyun? It was like they were supporting each other on the spot. They were so excited and gratified that they wished they could worship heaven and earth and enter the bridal chamber on the spot.
"Well, girl Yu, Xian'er told me everything about you two. I asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate, and the tenth day of next month is a good day. How about granting you marriage?" The emperor had a gentle smile on his face, and his fingers tapped the armrests of the dragon throne idly, as if he had accomplished a great task.
Zhu Yu knew in her heart that although the emperor was asking her, it was obvious that he was informing her. Besides, there was nothing wrong with Prince Jing. If he granted the marriage, then what was there to disagree with? The sooner she agreed, the sooner she could enjoy it.
But she still had to pretend, so she lowered her head even more and acted shyly: "Your servant listens to your father."
Hearing her say this, Prince Jing's heart finally settled down. He didn't even notice that he subconsciously clenched his fists. He had just admitted to his father his feelings for A Yu and said that A Yu agreed to give it a try with him. He really didn't expect that his father would directly grant the marriage. He was more anxious than he, the person involved. He was really afraid that A Yu would blame him for this. Fortunately, his A Yu agreed.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wenyun stood up with a smile and saluted to the emperor: "Your Majesty's granting of marriage is a grace to Yuer. I have no objection." After saying this, at an angle where the two children could not see, she gave the emperor a look that said "well done".
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll have my people start making arrangements tomorrow. Xian'er, your mother's bedroom collapsed last night. I didn't know why, since it was where your mother lived before she died, so I didn't let anyone touch it. You and A Yu can go take a look. Then, you can talk to the person in charge in the palace about how to repair it."
Zhu Yu: ... The melon was forcefully fed into my mouth...
