The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 106
No matter how regretful Concubine Rong was, Ye Zhaoqing still copied scriptures all day long in the side hall of Yongchun Palace.

When the sky was getting dark, Li Yu saw that his 'daughter-in-law' still hadn't come back, so he finally couldn't bear it and came over to ask for someone.

The Yongchun Palace was brightly lit. Concubine Rong was wearing a fine attire and was lazily sitting in front of the jade table, flipping through the pages of the stack of scriptures stacked in front of her, showing a hint of admiration on her picky face. Hue: "Very good, you copied it very carefully."

Ye Zhaoqing, who was sitting at the bottom, heard this, and said calmly: "Thank you for your appreciation, mother and concubine, these are what Zhaoqing should do."

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work today." Concubine Rong said, winking at Zhao'er who was beside her.

"Princess Concubine, this is the meeting gift that the Empress prepared for you today." Zhao'er immediately took out a brocade box with hollow patterns, opened it and handed it to Ye Zhaoqing.

In that box lay quietly a chayang five-phoenix hanging bead hairpin, very exquisite and eye-catching.

"Gift from the elders, I dare not say goodbye, Zhaoqing thanked my mother and concubine." Ye Zhaoqing said, and took the brocade box with his hand.

When Li Yu walked in, this was what he saw.

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smile, he stepped forward and knelt down to Concubine Rong: "My son and concubine Shen Mu!"

Without waiting for Concubine Rong to get up, he looked at Ye Zhaoqing at the side, seeing her intact appearance, he felt relieved at last.

"Why, are you afraid that I won't be able to eat your little daughter-in-law?" Concubine Rong glanced at Li Yu with some reproach, and said with a smile, "Zhaoer, go and order Madam Xue to prepare dinner. Tonight, the prince and the prince Concubine, let's eat here!"

Li Yu took a look at Ye Zhaoqing.

"I wonder if it will cause inconvenience to the concubine?" Ye Zhaoqing asked.

Concubine Rong saw this scene, the smile on her face faded a little, and her voice became cold: "Yu'er is my son, and you are my daughter-in-law. It is a kind of happiness to have dinner together. Bengong Why do you find it troublesome?"

This time, without Ye Zhaoqing's opening, Li Yu quickly said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey, just follow what my concubine wants!"

Ye Zhaoqing could only nod: "Listen to my concubine."

Immediately, Concubine Rong's eyes showed a hint of complacency. She glanced at Ye Zhaoqing, and pretended to ask kindly: "The Crown Princess doesn't feel forced, does she? If you really don't want to stay for dinner, I won't..."

"Concubine Mother, do you want us to stay? If you don't, Erchen will take Qing'er away immediately!" Before Concubine Rong could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Li Yu: "Use it later. Shan, Qing'er is going to detoxify me!"

When Concubine Rong heard this, the smile on her face froze for a moment, she gave Li Yu a cold look, and said, "I don't think it's just for detoxification, right?"

Good boy, in order to spend more time with my wife, I don't even give her face as a concubine!
Concubine Rong secretly hated her, but she had no choice but to focus all her hatred on Ye Zhaoqing.

"What did the concubine mother say!" Li Yu immediately frowned tightly when he heard this, "Today my son has been busy all day, and he has to work for a long time just to detoxify, so how can there be time for other things?"

When Concubine Rong heard this, her eyes flashed: "How to detoxify, you have to work for a long time?" As she said, her eyes fixed on Ye Zhaoqing.

"Mother and Concubine, didn't you agree that you won't interfere with this matter?" Li Yu immediately felt helpless when he heard this: "How to detoxify, this is something Zhao Qing worries about. In short, she will give you a lively son Is it done?"

"How long will it take?" Hearing this, Concubine Rong frowned and said, "I don't care how to treat the palace, but the time must be limited! It can't exceed half a year!" After finishing speaking, she glanced at Ye Zhaoqing and said : "Zhaoqing, do you have any questions?"

"Mother Concubine! Didn't we talk about it for two years?" Li Yu became anxious immediately, he naturally knew what Concubine Rong meant when she asked that sentence.

Ye Zhaoqing's expression was very calm when she heard the words, she was not intimidated by the threat in Concubine Rong's words at all, she thought about it carefully, and said realistically: "The poison on Your Highness is very overbearing, I am not sure about it for half a year."

"Then how long will it take you?" Concubine Rong gave Ye Zhaoqing a mocking look when she heard this.

She knew that as long as this woman achieved the position of princess, she would never want to come down again!But it doesn't matter, Ye Zhaoqing has Zhang Liang's plan, she has a wall ladder, in short, she will never let this woman dominate the position of the princess.

That's for Yan'er!
"One year is enough." Ye Zhaoqing said calmly, "I want an extra half a year, just to ensure that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be poisoned again."

"One year? Very good!" Concubine Rong was surprised by Ye Zhaoqing's understanding of current affairs. She originally thought that this woman would speak for at least two years, but she didn't expect that she would only speak for one year.

Great, she was able to welcome Yan'er into the palace one year in advance!

"I hope the Crown Princess will keep her word!" Concubine Rong smiled triumphantly, and while laughing, she said: "But don't play any tricks, you won't leave when the time comes, I have plenty of means to punish you, understand?"

"Zhaoqing understands." Ye Zhaoqing said calmly, and nodded.

Li Yu couldn't listen anymore!These two women discussed things like no one else, and they didn't take him seriously at all!

Want to leave after a year?That depends on whether he agrees or not!

"Qing'er, let's go, I want to eat your braised crucian carp tonight!" Li Yu said, pulling Ye Zhaoqing up from the chair, and said to Concubine Rong: "Mother Concubine, I will take Qing I'm going back." He dragged Ye Zhaoqing out of Yongchun Palace.

Concubine Rong smiled at the side, looking at the backs of the two going away, with complacency in her eyes.

One year, great.

When they returned to the East Palace, Li Yu waved Liu'er away who came up to him, and dragged Ye Zhaoqing into the bedroom.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?" Ye Zhaoqing asked in bewilderment, but at the next moment, Li Yu suddenly picked her up by the waist, and threw her onto the marriage bed that she had never lay on.

"Your Highness!" Ye Zhaoqing felt dizzy for a while, and just as she exclaimed, a heavy object was placed on her body. Li Yu also got on the bed, hugged her, and put her face close to her ear. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Ye Zhaoqing, you think teasing Ben Gong is fun, don't you?"

"Get up!" Ye Zhaoqing didn't like this situation very much, she pushed Li Yu hard on her body, but she used all her breastfeeding strength, Li Yu still didn't move.

"Save your energy!" Li Yu said as he stretched out his hand and quickly took away all the silver needles that Ye Zhaoqing had hidden in his sleeve.Then buried his head in her neck.

"Li Yu! Let go!" Ye Zhaoqing became anxious immediately: "Is there anything you can't say properly? What are you doing?"

"I also want to talk about it, but you don't give me a chance!" Li Yu couldn't restrain himself, and stretched out his mouth to kiss Ye Zhaoqing's snow-white neck, which made Ye Zhaoqing tremble all over, and immediately refused frantically.

Li Yu firmly pressed her two hands, stared at Ye Zhaoqing's painful face, and said word by word: "I don't want to force you, but if I have been looking forward to it for so long, you still have to leave in the end. Then I don't want to wait."

Ye Zhaoqing became annoyed when he heard the words: "We talked about it before! This marriage is fake. I only agreed to marry you to detoxify you. I will leave when you are detoxified! What do you mean now? ?”

"I regret it." Li Yu said, stretching out his hand to gently caress the white face that had been thinking about it day and night, with a maddened expression on his face.

However, the next moment, he suddenly felt a needle-like pain in his lower back, and involuntarily let go of his hand. Ye Zhaoqing took this opportunity to push him away, and then jumped off the bed.

"Qing'er!" Li Yu yelled, but Ye Zhaoqing had already rushed out quickly.

With a sound of "Boom!", the door of the sleeping hall was firmly shut from the outside.

Li Yu lay there in a daze, still maintaining the appearance of being pushed away by Ye Zhaoqing, looking at the tightly closed bedroom door, with a hurt expression on his face.

After a long time, he turned his head slowly, stretched out his hand to touch his lower back, and then pulled out a silver needle.

"Qing'er, you really are..." Li Yu smiled wryly, and gently placed the silver needle on the coffee table beside the bed.Then, I closed my eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yu suddenly heard the sound of the bedroom door opening, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

However, it was Liu'er who walked in with a plate from the outside.

Li Yu glanced at her, then lay down on the pillow again in a dejected state.

"Your Highness, please get up and have a meal! Eat the meal to detoxify." Liu'er walked in, glanced at Li Yu, and said softly.
.
Hearing this, Li Yu's spirits were immediately revived. He glanced at Liu'er and said, "Crown Princess, are you really willing to detoxify this palace?"

"Of course, the Crown Princess said that this is what she promised Concubine Rong, and she can't break her promise and get fat." Liu'er nodded.

Li Yu's eyes dimmed instantly.

"Your Highness, get up!" Liu'er approached with a handkerchief.

Li Yu didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly he punched Liu'er and knocked Liu'er to the ground: "You lowly maidservant! Get out!"

Liu'er fell to the ground, and the things in her hands also fell to the ground. She raised her head and looked at Li Yu with horror on her face. At this moment, she finally realized that the current prince in front of her was not the former prince. The eldest prince who is fooling around is not even the husband-in-law of their young lady.

This marriage was originally a transaction, wasn't it?
"Liu'er!" The next moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and Ye Zhaoqing appeared at the door.

When she saw Li Yu, who was full of anger, and Liu Er who fell to the ground, she finally showed a trace of surprise on her face, walked over without thinking, and carefully helped Liu Er up from the ground.

"Liu'er, let's go, I'll help you out." Ye Zhaoqing said, carefully supporting Liu'er to walk out. From the beginning to the end, she didn't glance at Li Yu, let alone caring about the mess on the ground.

With a sound of "Boom!", the door of the dormitory closed again.

Li Yu looked at the backs of the two leaving silently. At this moment, he suddenly felt a burst of regret.

He shouldn't be so impulsive, and he shouldn't treat Liu'er like this.

Ye Zhaoqing was able to personally go to the Jokhang Temple to bring this girl back, which meant that she treated this girl unusually, but he accidentally hit her.

Now that only he was left, Li Yu felt a sense of loss in addition to regret.

This night, Ye Zhaoqing didn't come in again, the preparations for the detoxification had already been done, but had to be suspended.

Li Yu was lying alone on the marriage bed in the inner hall, and from time to time he looked at the balcony under the east window. At this moment, he suddenly felt that it would be good even if Ye Zhaoqing slept there!At least two people are considered to be in the same room.

And now...

Alas, Li Yu sighed deeply, and then closed his eyes.

Wait until tomorrow, he will apologize again!

……

The next day was the day when Ye Zhaoqing returned home.

Normally, those who marry their daughters will return home on this day. Although Ye Zhaoqing is a princess, she still has to abide by the custom.

Perhaps it was because of the deep guilt last night that Li Yu got up early in the morning and went to practice swords in the backyard for an unprecedented time. He didn't come back until Ye Zhaoqing woke up and Liu Er prepared breakfast.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Li Yu looked at Ye Zhaoqing who was sitting at the table slowly drinking porridge, and Liu Er who was standing beside him.

Ye Zhaoqing didn't look back, and said in a calm voice: "Your Highness, hurry up and eat, and you have to leave the palace later, there can be no further delay."

"Good! Good!" Li Yu was surprised and happy when he heard this, so he hurried over and sat down at the table.

Ye Zhaoqing's expression remained the same, he still ate alone, and he didn't even look at Li Yu lazily.

This is... not over yet!

Li Yu smiled sheepishly, and reached out to get the bowls and chopsticks, but Liu Er finally couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Your Highness, you'd better go wash up! You're sweating all over your face."

As he spoke, before Li Yu could speak, he called a palace lady in.

Li Yu had no choice but to get up, the maid hurriedly stepped forward and led him to wash in the side hall.

When he came out after washing, Ye Zhaoqing had already eaten, and sat aside to check the gift list that he brought to Ningguohou's Mansion.

Li Yu carefully looked at Ye Zhaoqing, seeing that she was calm and not angry at all, he was relieved at first, but then became uneasy.

Being angry means that you still care about yourself. If you are not angry at all...

Li Yu took a deep breath, picked up his chopsticks resignedly, and picked up a soup dumpling that he likes to eat most on weekdays, but it was tasteless in his mouth.

He simply put down his chopsticks.

No one came forward to persuade him to eat more. Liu'er had already started to avoid Li Yu after suffering yesterday. Basically, she would follow wherever Ye Zhaoqing was.

Looking at the current situation, Li Yu was extremely disappointed.

"Your Highness, have you eaten? Then change your clothes and get ready to go!" After a while, Ye Zhaoqing put down the gift list in his hand, glanced at Li Yu blankly, turned around and went to the side hall.

Li Yu stared blankly at her back for a moment, then resigned to his fate and went back to the inner bedroom. Naturally, there was a maid waiting for him to change clothes.

After half an hour, Ye Zhaoqing came out from the side hall.

Today she changed into a lake-blue tube top palace dress, her temple hair was combed high, and she wore a hibiscus flower just picked from the imperial garden on her head. Her chayang five-phoenix hairpin is hung with pearl hairpins, and the long silk sash hangs on her shoulders, which is very beautiful.

Ye Zhaoqing's face was originally seven points, but this elaborate dress, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is very.If Ye Xiangwan was standing here, Ye Zhaoqing might not be able to be compared to her.

Seeing her dressed up like this, Li Yu's eyes straightened immediately.

However, Ye Zhaoqing ignored him and walked past him.

It wasn't until there was no one in front of him that Li Yu realized it, turned around and chased after him.

A luxurious royal chariot was parked outside the East Palace, and when Li Yu came out, Ye Zhaoqing had already sat in it.

He collected himself and hurried over.

A quarter of an hour later, the imperial chariot turned around and drove towards the gate of the palace.

In the carriage, Ye Zhaoqing didn't say a word, but stared straight ahead. The place where she was sitting was two people away from Li Yu.

Li Yu originally prepared a lot of words to say, but seeing the scene in front of him and the figures passing by everywhere in the palace, he swallowed those words.

It was not until he left the palace that Li Yu said awkwardly, "I'm sorry!"

Seeing this scene, Liu'er behind her almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but she touched the left side of her cheek that hadn't completely subsided, and suppressed that smile.

Ye Zhaoqing remained silent, not knowing whether she heard it or not.

After waiting for a long time, Li Yu finally couldn't help pulling Ye Zhaoqing's sleeve, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry! I was wrong last night!"

Liu'er turned her back abruptly, and didn't dare to look any further, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud, and when the crown prince humbly apologized to someone else, that person was still his daughter-in-law, this is really too funny!

Ye Zhaoqing still did not speak.

Li Yu was at a loss, the hand that was pinching Ye Zhaoqing's sleeve couldn't help but tightened, and there was a hint of pitifulness in his voice: "Qing'er, I'm sorry, I was the one who was wrong last night, I promise it won't happen in the future!"

"Really?" Ye Zhaoqing finally looked back at him to save face.

With just one glance, Li Yu suddenly felt that he was resurrected with full blood, and felt that he was extremely happy. He nodded hurriedly: "Of course it is true! I promise!"

"Your Highness's guarantee is bullshit, it's used to deceive people." Ye Zhaoqing mercilessly exposed him, and said without delay: "Okay, I won't bother with you about this matter anymore, but you remember, do it again next time." , I have a hundred ways to keep you from getting out of bed, believe it or not?"

Li Yu remembered that he was immobilized by the silver needles, his limbs were lying on the bed stiff, and his mouth was still bleeding, and he felt a sudden fear in his heart, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay! I understand!"

However, the palace servants and guards who followed the chariot misunderstood the meaning of "can't get out of bed", and everyone had funny expressions on their faces.

But everyone has figured out one thing, that is, the princess's bed skills are very good, and the prince who is often pestered can't even get out of bed!
It's no wonder that the crown prince would stand up against all opinions and only marry the crown princess, not even a side concubine.

With this one, what else do you need?How can the prince bear it?

However, Li Yu and the others who were sitting in the imperial chariot did not see the eyes of everyone.

"Qing'er, since you've forgiven me, then sit over here!" Li Yu said with a smile: "After all, this is outside, and it's inappropriate for outsiders to see us two seemingly incompatible!"

"You still care about this?" Ye Zhaoqing glanced at Li Yu impatiently, and said, "Your Highness, can you be quiet for a while? It's so noisy that my head hurts!"

Li Yu immediately stopped talking when he heard the words.

The crown prince just ascended the throne the day before yesterday, and married Ning Guohou's daughter on the same day. Everyone knew that they would return home today. At this time, the streets of the capital were already full of people, and everyone stretched their necks to look at them. The people in the imperial chariot, especially Ye Zhaoqing.

After all, everyone was so curious about this woman who was the champion and was married back to the palace by the prince with six ceremonies!

"Oh my god! That funeral star looks so beautiful, no wonder the prince will marry her, she's no better than that fairy-looking second lady!..."

"Yes, yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly blessed to be able to embrace a beauty..."

The voices of common people's discussion spread into the emperor's chariot. Li Yu was very excited when he heard it. He couldn't help but look back at Ye Zhaoqing, and couldn't help but want to reach out and shake her hand.

Ye Zhaoqing withdrew his hand at once, sat upright, and gave him even a glance.

A sense of disappointment suddenly surged in Li Yu's heart.

Soon, Ningguohou's Mansion arrived.

There are also crowds of people here, Ningguo Hou Yechen personally brought his wife, and all the people from the Hou family went out to greet him on their knees.

"My minister sees His Highness the Crown Prince, sees the Crown Princess Concubine!"

"Get up!" Li Yu said lazily, then got up and got off the imperial chariot.

Just when everyone thought he was going to the Marquis's Mansion, Li Yu suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand facing the imperial chariot: "Qing'er, slow down, help me down with my hand."

How could he let go of this opportunity to get close to the beautiful woman?

However, the people outside were shocked. The prince personally helped the princess to get off the imperial chariot!What kind of respect and love is this!
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen was already grinning from ear to ear, and hurriedly got up to meet the two of them and walked towards the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Ye, who was kneeling behind, also slowly got up. Seeing this scene, a trace of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu really loved Ye Zhaoqing.

"Why didn't you see the second sister?" Ye Zhaoqing followed Li Yu, walking in, and looked back at Ye Chen.

When Ye Chen heard this, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he waited until he reached the steps before he whispered: "Go back to the princess, today is such an important occasion, Ah Wan is emotionally unstable, I'm afraid she will make something happen." , so..."

"Father, don't be called by the princess, just call me Qing'er, this is returning to our own home, there is no need to be so polite." Ye Zhaoqing said.

Ye Chen shook his head hastily when he heard this, "Prince and concubine! How can this happen!"

"Father-in-law doesn't need to be polite, just listen to my son!" Li Yu smiled when he heard this, but he supported Ye Zhaoqing.

When Ye Chen saw it, the smile on his face deepened, and he nodded hurriedly: "Okay! Listen to Your Highness!"

Ye Zhaoqing saw that the direction Ye Chen led the crowd was Madam Ye's residence, and he was surprised at the moment: "Father, my daughter came back after a long time, why can't she go to see grandma?"

"Your grandmother..." Ye Chen hesitated immediately after hearing the words: "I'm unconscious, why don't I go?"
