Chapter 33: Joy and Affection (1)
Xiao Yu seemed to be extremely tired, and on the way back to the East Palace, she didn't say anything, and leaned on Du Yunjin's body tiredly. Du Yunjin wanted to ask about the situation in the Xuanyuan Hall carefully, but when he saw him like this, he swallowed all the words back.
Because of Du Yunjin's entourage, Guo Housheng, who had always followed Xiao Yu, stayed in the East Palace for the first time, and when he learned that they had left the Xuanyuan Palace, he instructed the other palace people to get ready.
In the east chamber, Ruyu prepared the stove early, and replaced it for her when Du Yunjin came back. When these preparations were ready, she hurriedly beckoned the kitchenette to bring the meal that had been hot on the stove into the house.
Du Yunjin's meals did not follow the trend of the imperial kitchen, she has been in the frontier for many years, and her eating habits are different from those in Gyeonggi, Xiao Yu took pity on her decreasing amount of food, so she specially found a cook, raised it in the East Chamber, and was responsible for making her usual meals.
Entering the East Palace, Xiao Yu rarely did not go to the study, but followed Du Yunjin into the East Wing as it was.
Du Yunjin was slightly surprised in his heart, but he was overjoyed. Since they have been married for so long, although they seem to have a deep relationship, Xiao Yu does dote on her everywhere, but she always feels that there is still a layer of separation between her and him. It was like a gauze curtain as thin as a cicada's wings, she stood on this side of the curtain, he stood on the other side of the curtain, she could see his outline clearly, but she couldn't reach out and touch him.
No matter how late or tired she was, Xiao Yu spent most of her time in the East Palace in the study. No matter what she did, he also petted her head dotingly, saying that he had his own things to do, so that she didn't have to wait for him.
You don't have to wait for him, you don't have to wait for him. The east wing has always been a small world for her alone, she sleeps with the stars, and then wakes up to the sun, and her surroundings are always empty. Maybe she wasn't good enough to let him stay for her, she thought, after all, he was such a dazzling teenager back then.
Ruyu lifted the thickened curtain, let Xiao Yu and Du Yunjin go in first, and followed Guo Housheng and Yan Hui into the house.
"Niangniang, you can taste the jade chicken soup that has just been served off the fire." Ruyu personally scooped a small bowl, tried it herself, and then changed the bowl again and handed it to Du Yunjin.
As soon as he didn't drink it, he smelled a fresh fragrance and rushed into his nose, and the joy on Du Yunjin's face became even stronger. Her usual favorite dish is this chicken soup, and the small kitchen also likes it, and it will be boiled every few days.
"Ah Yu, you've been tired all day, drink something to warm up first." Du Yunjin handed the porcelain bowl full of chicken soup in his hand to Xiao Yu, he went to Xuanyuan Hall early in the morning to serve the sick, I was afraid that he was too busy to take care of himself.
"Hmm." In the face of Du Yunjin's courtesy, Xiao Yu has always responded indifferently. Maybe he is like this by nature, and it is not easy for him to grow up a normal person in such an environment, not to mention that he is just a little cold, and it is not a big problem.
In order to please Du Yunjin, the small kitchen made this chicken soup with extra care, and it has been simmering over low heat, and the temperature is just right at the moment.
Xiao Yu used it slowly, and Du Yunjin also kept holding the dishes for him on the side, and soon made a small mountain pile up in his bowl. Xiao Yu looked at the hill in front of him and the busy little bee Du Yunjin, and couldn't help but smile softly.
"But what's on my face?" Du Yunjin touched his cheek, and always felt that his smile at this time had a deep meaning.
"Nope." Xiao Yu put down the chopsticks in her hand, turned her head and looked at her carefully: "I just suddenly think you are a little cute." ”
If these words were said by someone else, Du Yunjin would have beckoned with a fist, but these words came out of Xiao Yu's mouth, so she blushed and lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became ambiguous, and Yan glanced back at Ruyu, who was still waiting beside Du Yunjin, and took Guo Housheng with her and quietly retreated outside the door.
We will succeed this time!
Yan Hui waited outside the door, and standing opposite her was Guo Housheng, who had never spoken much, and Ruyu had been sent by her to watch the food in the small kitchen. Du Yunjin and Xiao Yu have been married for three years, and in these three years, Xiao Yu almost did not stay in the East Chamber overnight, perhaps because he gave a strict order, everyone in the East Palace did not chew the root of their tongues, but Yan Hui was always a little uneasy in his heart.
She is not like Du Yunjin who has not been taught by her mother since she was a child, and she is still ignorant of the affairs of men and women. People who should be entangled every day live in separate rooms with each other, and I have to say that there are some problems.
She secretly inquired, and the emperor and the crown had always given female officials to teach men and women to have sex before the emperor, but Xiao Yu was not favored, so there has never been a female official to teach, and she has always been clean and self-conscious, and she did not raise a lot of maids like other princes before Du Yunjin. Yan thought about it, could it be that this prince has read too much, and he doesn't know how men and women should be emotional? If that's the case, it's easy to do, she quietly asked someone to get some Hehuan from outside the palace, ready to wait for the opportunity to use a little for Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu only sat for a short time when she came to the East Wing in the past, and Yan Hui waited for a long time and finally waited for such a good opportunity today, so naturally he couldn't let it go.
The starlight outside the door was dim, the candle flame inside the door was flickering, and sure enough, after a while, a suppressed wheezing sound was heard.
Guo Housheng raised his head suspiciously, and looked towards the door, where Ruyu was slowly walking towards this place with a freshly baked meal. She obviously also heard the movement inside the door, and looked at Guo Housheng suspiciously, only to see him nodding silently at her. Suddenly, the pair of autumn water cut pupils were covered with a faint mist.
And Yan Hui didn't even see this qiē interaction, because she was wholeheartedly discerning the situation inside the door. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the joy on Yanhui's face could not be concealed.
"Ahem." Guo Housheng looked at Yanhui with an inexplicable expression, and deliberately coughed twice to pull her back for deep thought before saying, "There should be nothing wrong here, let's go back too." ”
Yan recycled his overly exposed joy, silently lowered his head and followed behind Guo Housheng, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
The wheezing sound in the house became worse and worse, and Ruyu's feet seemed to have taken root in the doorway, unable to move a bit. Guo Housheng turned to look at her, sighed long in his heart, and reprimanded Yan Hui before he could react: "Death!" Don't go yet! ”
This thunder made Ruyu wake up completely, she bit her lip, still holding the meal in her hand, and followed Yanhui in small steps.
The moonlight shone on Guo Housheng's three bodies and dispersed as they left. The east wing was quiet in the room, except for the sound of male or female wheezing from time to time, with a strong lust.
