Chapter 87

83_83499 Du Qiyue was put into the house, and entered the study nervously along the path, Zhao Yiyun hadn't come over yet, only a few people were sweeping in the yard. The study was very quiet, and before the people had time to open the window, Du Qiyue could still smell the aftertaste of the incense left by last night's incense when he walked in, light and elegant, with a slight coolness, just like the feeling that Zhao Yiyun gave people.

The little girl quickly retreated after bringing tea, and the room was quiet again, leaving only the sound of "brushing" from the big broom sweeping the floor outside the house. Du Qiyue seemed unwilling to disturb the tranquility, so she was careful in her movements, and slowly opened the food box and took out the breakfast inside. Now that the weather is hot, it is not easy to cool down when the dim sum is ready, Du Qiyue came all the way from the inn, and it was still steaming, and the porridge in the stew pot was even hot.

Du Qiyue carefully fiddled with the dishes and chopsticks a few times, and put on the table where he was most satisfied, and then sat down, holding the hem of the robe on both sides of his thighs in his hands, looking at the door with his eyes, waiting for Zhao Yiyun to come over anxiously and expectantly.

Zhao Yiyun didn't let him wait long, and came over in less than a cup of tea. Du Qiyue hurriedly stood up to greet him, and his eyes carefully looked at Zhao Yiyun. Zhao Yiyun's face doesn't look very good today, some of the ruddy ones that have been fed by eating and drinking these days are gone, he looks a little pale, and there is a faint shadow under his eyes, and he is full of tiredness.

"You didn't rest last night, okay?" Du Qiyue asked with concern.

Zhao Yiyun shook his head, glanced at Du Qiyue, and saw that his face was not very good, a smile appeared in his heart, and asked, "Why did you come here so early, is there something wrong?" ”

"Something! I think..."Du Qiyue was about to blurt out the words that he had been holding in his mouth, but he just opened his mouth and swallowed it back, he helped Zhao Yiyun pull out the stool and said, "You eat breakfast first, and we'll talk about it after eating." ”

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhao Yiyun sat down, looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table, and suddenly felt hungry, he reached out and put an egg roll into the plate, looked up and asked, "Have you eaten it?" Come here so early. ”

"I've eaten it." Du Qiyue nodded, in fact, he only ate a few bites casually when he was making dim sum, and he didn't eat enough at all

Zhao Yiyun pursed his lips, picked up the egg roll and ate it, Du Qiyue served him a bowl of porridge diligently, and then sat back again, but his eyes kept staring at Zhao Yiyun, looking like he had something to say but didn't know how to say it.

Zhao Yiyun also had something in his heart, Du Qiyue didn't speak, so he didn't ask him anymore, so the two of them ate breakfast quietly one bite at a time, and the other sat quietly and watched, except for the occasional slight sound of the dishes and chopsticks colliding, the room was so quiet that even the breathing of the two could be heard clearly.

This situation lasted until Zhao Yiyun finished breakfast, and the extremely quiet atmosphere became more lively. Du Qiyue immediately stood up, put the dishes into the food box in a bit of a hurry, and then wanted to wipe the table with his handkerchief, but was blocked by Zhao Yiyun's hand.

"Speak." Zhao Yiyun looked up at Du Qiyue and said.

Du Qiyue stuffed the handkerchief back into his sleeve pocket, grabbed the small wooden box with the ring inside, swallowed his saliva, looked back at Zhao Yiyun with deep eyes, and asked directly: "Zhao Gongzi, do you like me?" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yiyun didn't expect Du Qiyue to speak so straightforwardly, and he was immediately stunned.

"Do you like me? Still hate me, please sue me! Du Qiyue took a deep breath and asked again.

Zhao Yiyun blinked, he didn't know how to answer Du Qiyue's question, he didn't hate Du Qiyue for sure, but in the end, whether he liked it or not, this was not easy to answer, this question was not even very clear to him, how to answer.

Du Qiyue thought that Zhao Yiyun was embarrassed to speak, and said, "You just need to nod or shake your head to answer me." I want to know the answer, you sue me. ”

Zhao Yiyun neither nodded nor shook his head, but asked rhetorically, "What are you asking me for?" What if you know? ”

"I..." Du Qiyue only felt that he was holding a breath in his stomach, and it was very uncomfortable to go up or down. Yes, what if you know, Zhao Yiyun likes him, then he must be proposing, Zhao Yiyun has no feelings for him, he will still chase and propose, if Zhao Yiyun hates him, he will also pester him to propose again. Since the result was the same, he was hesitating about something.

Thinking of this, Du Qiyue simply bent his knees and knelt in front of Zhao Yiyun on one knee, he took out the ring box from his sleeve, opened the box with slightly clumsy hands, revealing a gold ring inlaid with gems inside, and said firmly: "Zhao Yiyun, I like you, will you marry me?" ”

Du Qiyue's sudden move made Zhao Yiyun jump, stretched out half of the hand that was ready to help people, Zhao Yiyun stared at Du Qiyue, and for the first time showed a sluggish expression in front of people, as if he was frightened by this proposal.

Anyway, the marriage proposal was said, and the apprehensions in my heart were gone, Du Qiyue hit the snake with the stick, reached out and grabbed Zhao Yiyun's half-stretched hand, held it tightly in his hand, looked at Zhao Yiyun with sincere eyes, and said, "Will you marry me?" I liked you the first time I saw you, will you marry me? I'll be fine with you. ”

Zhao Yiyun's grabbed hand struggled for a while, but Du Qiyue held it too tightly, and he didn't break free. Zhao Yiyun's heart was as uncalm as the sea, he looked at the person in front of him who was half-kneeling in front of him and his expression had never been so cautious, and all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart.

He never thought that there would be a person who would kneel in front of him like this, and he never thought that there would be a person like him. He should be angry, even if he is a brother now, but in his bones, his heart is still a man, a tough and self-reliant man. In such a situation, Du Qiyue asked him for marriage, and there was no matchmaker and no appointment, which was undoubtedly a huge blow and humiliation for him, and he should be unwilling and resentful in his heart, but even if he had thousands of feelings in his heart, he couldn't give birth to a trace of anger when he saw this kneeling person, and he didn't even want to really resist.

The clasped hands were like a medium transmitting the different body temperatures of both sides, and another hot temperature was transmitted from Du Qiyue's scorching to slightly sweaty palms to Zhao Yiyun's slightly cool fingers, forming a hot current that flowed all the way down Zhao Yiyun's hands to his chest, this small heat flow made Zhao Yiyun feel that his chest was slightly swollen, as if all the resistance consciousness in his body had been straightened out by it, so that Zhao Yiyun even had an idea of just like that.

But Zhao Yiyun is sensible, he quickly thought of what the emperor said to him yesterday, if it wasn't an accident, the emperor would definitely want him to marry, what to say to choose one of his favorites, just let him choose one among those who asked for marriage, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, the emperor just doesn't want to owe him the honor that has not been promulgated, and wants to smooth out the so-called marriage through guò. Choosing one of your favorites is such a great gift for a brother, but how ironic it is for him, three years of charging into the battlefield to kill the enemy, but not in exchange for a little freedom, how sad.

Du Qiyue was almost holding his breath and waiting for Zhao Yiyun's answer, he knew in his heart that Zhao Yiyun had a good impression of him, so he vaguely felt that Zhao Yiyun would not refuse directly even if he didn't agree, but when the last breath in his lungs was about to be used up, he saw Zhao Yiyun shaking his head firmly.

No matter how fully prepared he was to be rejected, when he really got this answer, Du Qiyue's heart was still empty for a moment. He wanted to stand up, but found that his hands and feet were trembling slightly because of excessive nervousness, and he didn't get up after trying several times, Du Qiyue simply sat on the ground, still holding Zhao Yiyun's hand but didn't let go, he asked a little sadly: "Why, don't you like me?" ”

Zhao Yiyun was also very sad in his heart, it seemed that after becoming a brother, he became emotional, and at this moment, a little wetness welled up in his eyes. He turned his head and closed his eyes, unwilling to appear more vulnerable. But to a man who would kneel in order to ask him to marry him, he answered his question honestly; "I met the emperor yesterday, and he said that there are many people who want to ask him for marriage, and it is impossible for me to marry you."

Originally, Du Qiyue thought it was Zhao Yiyun's own reason, but at this moment, a huge joy welled up in his heart when he heard it, and his body trembled even more because of the excitement

Zhao Yiyun still turned his head and closed his eyes, because in this way his senses became more sensitive, he keenly felt that Du Qiyue's body trembled violently, and his heart once again swelled with heavy sadness. Zhao Yiyun thought that Du Qiyue was hit by his answer, even if there was a voice in his heart refuting that he would never like someone who was the same as him once was, but Zhao Yiyun couldn't bear to hurt Du Qiyue anymore, so he nodded heavily but affirmatively under Du Qiyue's gaze.

"Great!" Du Qiyue jumped up from the ground, hugged Zhao Yiyun excitedly, and said happily: "I'm really a big fool, what a big fool!" Why didn't I sue you, why didn't I sue you! I'm stupid, stupid! ”

Zhao Yiyun was taken aback by Du Qiyue's actions again, but even if Du Qiyue's behavior was more out of line this time, he didn't push him away, but just let Du Qiyue hold him in a daze, listening to him keep scolding himself.

Du Qiyue kept holding Zhao Yiyun for a while before realizing that his current behavior was very rude and weird, his face turned red instantly, he quickly let go of Zhao Yiyun, pulled out the piece of green jade around his neck, held it in front of Zhao Yiyun and said to him: "Look at this, I only found out yesterday," Du Qiyue lowered her voice, leaned to Zhao Yiyun's ear, and said in a very small voice: "I am the son of Princess Xunyu, my own, the only son!" ”

"What?" This is the third time that Zhao Yiyun has been frightened by Du Qiyue today, but this time is definitely the most frightened, he pushed Du Qiyue away, grabbed his jade pendant and looked at it carefully, when he saw the hidden patterns and Qi characters on the jade pendant, he sat on the stool as if he had lost his strength.

This is a common trick used by the dignitaries and nobles in most of the capital, on the jade pendant or other objects that they carry with them, they use an obscure way to get their surname or family emblem to show ownership, and this jade pendant engraved with Qi characters with special patterns represents that it comes from a big family surnamed Qi, and it was the Qi family that was involved with Princess Yu.

This jade pendant doesn't count, after all, the jade pendant is decorated with dead things, and whoever gets it counts whom. But Du Qiyue's face is a piece of evidence that can't be concealed, Zhao Yiyun felt that Du Qiyue had a good face when he saw Du Qiyue for the first time, but he hadn't seen the emperor for a long time, and he had never had a relationship between Du Qiyue and the royal family, so he never found out who Du Qiyue looked like, but yesterday he was so close to the emperor, how could he not find the similarity in the appearance of the two.

"Are you a member of the Qi family?" Zhao Yiyun asked in a dry voice, he was able to hear this kind of deadly secret, Zhao Yiyun really didn't know how to feel at this moment.

"Well, now they can't really recognize me, but she'll recognize me as her godson. I already told my uncle yesterday that I want to marry you, and my uncle said that he can ask for marriage, but I want to propose by myself, and I want you to agree. I was so nervous just now, in fact, I should have told you about this in the first place, but as soon as I was nervous, I forgot to say it. Now that there is no reason for my uncle, can you promise me? Du Qiyue grabbed Zhao Yiyun's hand again and asked.

Zhao Yiyun finally understood the meaning of the emperor's words to him, why find a person he likes, otherwise he will marry, it turns out that it is not to let him find someone to marry casually, but to let him willingly agree to marry Du Qiyue, if he does not agree, the emperor will also give him a marriage at that time.

Do you want to say yes? It seems that the biggest problem between them is gone, he doesn't seem to have any reason not to agree, and even if he still doesn't agree, it seems that he can't do it. So instead of making both of them unhappy in the end, why didn't he happily agree, anyway, he didn't dislike Zhao Yiyun.

"I promise!" Zhao Yiyun is also a simple person, since he has figured it out in his heart, he will never procrastinate in action, and directly nods in response.

"Great!" Du Qiyue was very happy, as if he was afraid that Zhao Yiyun would return, he immediately took out the ring and put it on Zhao Yiyun's finger. The ring is not big or small, it is just right, Du Qiyue looked at it firmly on Zhao Yiyun's finger, the whole person was a little fluttery, he showed a big smile, and said to Zhao Yiyun: "I will bring you a wedding ring, you are my person, no regrets." ”

Du Qiyue's marriage proposal behavior was very strange, but I have to say that Zhao Yiyun was more comfortable than the usual means of three media and six hiring, he touched the ring, returned Du Qiyue with a smile, and said, "I know." ”。
