Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 39 This is not something you can touch!
"Get up." Changsun Tao said, his voice a little hoarse.

Yu Qinghuan followed Chang Sun Tao's line of sight and looked down. Her chest was in the closest contact with Chang Sun Tao... "Tang", no matter how calm Yu Qinghuan was, she couldn't help but blush.

"Sorry!" Yu Qinghuan quickly bounced away, but did not notice that the strange bracelet on his hand hooked the rope hanging on Changsun Tao's neck, and a jade pendant was torn off.

Yu Qinghuan stretched out his hand to pick it up, and saw that the jade pendant was carved into the pattern of a dead tree blooming in spring. The chalcedony was green and transparent, and a wisp of ancient and mysterious cold smoke hung on it. It was obviously an ancient jade that cultivated spirituality.

Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but be fascinated. She was sure that she had never seen this jade before, but she felt inexplicably familiar with it.

"Don't touch it!" Changsun Tao clasped Yu Qinghuan's wrist and snatched the jade from her hand. His movements were so rough that she could even hear the sound of joints dislocating.

Yu Qinghuan held her almost broken wrist, raised her eyes and glared at Changsun Tao: "What are you doing?!"

Changsun Tao held the jade tightly in his hand, holding it so carefully, for fear that it would be snatched away by someone accidentally.

"Don't touch it. If there is a next time, I will chop off your hand!" He raised his eyes, his eyes filled with anger.He usually restrained himself when he was angry, but now, he showed all his anger on his face.

Because of this, people felt that he was extremely angry.

Yu Qinghuan could see that this piece of jade had special meaning to him, but she did not touch the jade intentionally, and she would not have any thoughts because of the high value of the jade. Changsun Tao guarded her like a wolf, which made her a little annoyed. Got it!
"King Qi, I didn't mean to hold you. If you don't like my touch, just go back. Why are you so angry?!" Yu Qinghuan said displeasedly.

Changsun Tao found the loose rope around his neck, tied the jade string on it, hung it around his neck again, and then put the jade pendant properly into the lapel of his clothes.

"Yu Qinghuan, remember your identity. Don't think that just because I married you, you can regard yourself as my wife! The only relationship between you and me is just a marriage contract. Apart from that, there is nothing else. ! If you want glory, wealth, clothing and food, I will give you everything, but I cannot give you a husband. You must understand!" Changsun Tao stated calmly, word by word, without any emotion, so cold that he was almost ruthless .

If he was angry, it would at least mean that what he said was angry, but he didn't. The anger stained on his brows had long since dissipated, and his whole person was as calm as a pool of water.

Yu Qinghuan suddenly felt that the emotion and gratitude towards him in her heart had turned into ridicule, ridiculing herself for not being in a correct position and being pretentious for a short while.

She was the woman who was forced to sit next to Changsun Tao by the Yu family, wasn't she?Why did she think that Changsun Tao still cared about her as his wife?

Yu Qinghuan silently picked up the purse she had just dropped and held it in her hand. On the purse, a sharp needle pierced her skin. The pain from her fingers to her heart finally extinguished the feeling that should not have arisen in her heart.

"Prince Qi, it won't happen again." Yu Qinghuan said calmly, with a faint smile on his lips.

Changsun Tao sat with his eyes closed, silent from beginning to end, without saying a word.

He didn't, because what happened just now seemed a little bit strange, as if what he just said was exactly what he was thinking.

Yu Qinghuan smiled. He did have kindness towards her, but if the word "love" was taken away and only pure "gratitude" was left, then the relationship between them would be much cleaner.

After thinking about this, Yu Qinghuan no longer felt angry or disappointed. "Remove my restraint. I don't like being locked up like a prisoner." Yu Qinghuan said.

Changsun Tao was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "When you get back, I will tell Cang Wu to give you your freedom."

Then, he fell into a longer silence.

Back at the palace, Changsun Tao went to Muwuju by himself without saying hello.

When Yu Qinghuan returned to Zhizhiju, Cang Wu was no longer guarding the door.

Not long after, Manager Lu of the mansion led a group of servants and servants to Zhizhiju, and reported respectfully in front of Yu Qinghuan: "Princess, these people will serve you in Zhizhiju from now on. The prince specially ordered the old slave to give you Bring it here. According to the regulations of our palace, you can have two first-class maids, four second-class maids, ten third-class servants, and four mothers who do menial work. The prince said that he will buy more for the princess every month There are four sets of clothes, two sets of hair and facial hair, and there are no restrictions on things like rouge, gouache, etc. The princess will send as many as she needs, and as for other scattered items, the princess can also send people to get them from the grandfather at any time."

Yu Qinghuan's eyes faintly passed over the dozen servants standing respectfully in front of them. She knew that the Taoist leader Sun Tao really meant what he said. One moment he promised to give her a life of good clothing and good food, and the next moment he offered it to her.

The more Changsun Tao behaves like this, the more it means that he does not want to have a relationship with her other than a nominal couple.

However, what makes him eager to draw a clear line with himself?

Yu Qinghuan raised her lips and smiled slightly, and asked Manager Lu, "Has the prince mentioned when the key to the warehouse will be delivered to this princess?"

Manager Lu has become mature with age, and Yu Qinghuan's questions are not difficult for him at all. Hearing this, he said respectfully: "The prince did not mention this matter for the time being, but the old slave guessed that the prince felt sorry for the princess, and he must not have wanted to let her go. The princess works too hard.”

This means that he is not ready to give her the bus of Zhongzhong, but Changsun Tao spoils her, which makes her any different from a canary in a cage or a koi in a pond?
After getting the answer he wanted, Yu Qinghuan asked again: "How many people are there to serve you in the prince's courtyard?"

Manager Lu said with a smile: "The whole government serves the prince, but Mr. Xie is usually the one who takes care of the prince's yard. Only people designated by Mr. Xie can temporarily go into the yard to serve him. Normally, if you don't If necessary, no one will walk around the prince."

Yu Qinghuan said: "Your Majesty is my husband and my God. My husband likes peace and quiet. How can a wife not learn from it? Steward Lu, take all these people away and leave two mothers who do menial work." That’s fine, I don’t need so many people.”

Manager Lu said with some embarrassment: "This is the prince's personal order. This old slave cannot be the master."

Yu Qinghuan said: "What the prince says is your business. Could it be that this princess wants to please the prince and imitate his habits? Do you have to stop her?"

The steward bowed and took the person away.

No matter in Jingzhou or the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yu Qinghuan is only served by Xiao Qian. Although she is a princess now, she really does not need a bunch of servants to show off for her. Besides, how does she know who these people are.
