022 Concubine

When Wu Bao returned to Du Yao's room from the study, the night was getting deeper.

Du Yao bathed and changed clothes under Su Jin's service, and after bathing, she half-leaned on the soft couch and looked at the book about the history of Qi Yan Kingdom.

As soon as the door was opened, Du Yao followed the sound and looked, and when she saw Wu Epidemic returning to the room, she put down the book and came to Wu Epidemic to change clothes for Wu Epidemic.

"Why are you late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"The concubine is waiting for His Highness."

"What if I don't come back?"

"If His Highness does not come back for a long time, the concubine will bolt the door and sleep alone."

Untied Wu Bao's coat, and Wu Bao took advantage of the situation to take her into his arms. His hand pressed on her head, not letting her escape his embrace.

Smelling the enduring smell of Wu Bao's body, and feeling the powerful heartbeat of his strong chest, her heart was quiet again, and all the bad boredom disappeared.

The room was quiet, but the atmosphere was extremely warm, and the two people hugged each other like this, as if time stopped at the moment of embracing each other.

"Your Highness......"

"Shhhh

Wu Yao's tone was so gentle, Du Yao didn't want to disturb his peace for a moment.

After hugging her for a long time, Wu Bao let go of Du Yao, he took her hand to the soft couch, and padded a small pestle for her to avoid catching a cold.

Seeing that Wu Epidemic was so intimate, Du Yao's heart warmed. She poured him a cup of tea, and he picked up the book she had just read.

"Why did you suddenly remember to watch "The Legend of Qi Yan"?"

"The Biography of Qi Yan" tells the history of Qi Yan Country over the past hundred years, and there is also the part of Jun Qianmo's divorce of his wife.

"Idle and have nothing to do, go to the countryside and follow the customs. Since the concubine is the princess of the Qiyan country, if she has never understood the history of her own country, she is afraid that she will not be able to talk about it. ”

"What do you understand?"

Rubbing Du Yao's hair, Wu Bao looked at her dotingly.

"I am afraid that the emperor's brother divorced his wife back then, but he was forced to do so."

At that time, if Jun Qianmo did not divorce his wife, he was afraid that the Qi Yan Congress would hand it over.

"For the sake of the country, he has his own reason."

He had already speculated about what Du Yao said, but his intuition told him that there must be an unknown secret in this matter.

"It's a pity."

"What a pity?"

"The relationship between the royal brother and the eldest sister was once so enviable, even written in "The Biography of Qi Yan", but unfortunately the last two were not able to be together."

"Fool, it's not like anyone can be together if they want to. As a royal person, there are many things that are involuntary, and it is not something we can choose. ”

"yes."

Perhaps, if you marry me, you can't help yourself.

"I heard Xiao Hua say that an invitation was sent from the palace today."

Wu Yao didn't guess what Du Yao was thinking, and the sudden change of words made Du Yao unable to react for a while.

"Well, it was the imperial brother's concubine who invited the concubine to attend the palace banquet, saying that it was specially prepared for the concubine."

"Are you going?"

Wu Xi learned from Xiao Hua that the concubine's name was Han Jue, and she was the sister of Princess Han Yue.

"Since Concubine Han has invited a concubine, it's not easy for the concubine not to go."

"I'll send Xiao Hua to you tomorrow."

Wu Huang knew Du Yao's stubborn temper very well, and no one could beat her what she decided. With Xiao Hua by her side, she can be somewhat relieved.

"His Royal Highness sent Xiao Hua to his concubines, if His Highness has anything to do......"

"Don't worry, Xiao Hua is not the only one by my side, otherwise how did I dodge Wu Zhen's open guns and hidden arrows over the years?"

Listening to Wu Bao's words, Du Yao looked at him, and there was only a smile on his face.

Perhaps, he has long looked down on the so-called friendship between brothers.

Du Yao didn't know how Wu Fang had dodged Wu Zhen's open guns and arrows over the years, but she knew that it must have been very difficult.

If he knew that his appearance by his side was the conspiracy she had planned with Wu Zhen at the beginning, he was afraid that he would no longer have love for her, only resentment.

Noticing that Du Yao's expression was too focused on him, Wu Yao was a little embarrassed.

"What? You don't believe it? ”

"No, the concubine believes."

Even if no one in the world believed him, she would believe him.

Because he's believing in her, too.

Early the next morning, Wu Bao got up early, and he deliberately slowed down his movements without disturbing the sleeping Du Yao.

When Du Yao woke up, half an hour had passed, and after waking up, Du Yao saw that Wu Plague was not by his side, and his heart was inexplicably flustered.

"Su Jin."

Su Jin, who was outside the house, heard Du Yao's call and hurried to the room.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

"What about Your Highness?"

I don't know why Du Yao was very nervous when she found out that Wu Fang was not by her side, and she was more afraid.

Seeing Du Yao's dejected appearance, Su Jin came to her side and comforted her:

"Your Royal Highness is in the study now, don't worry about the princess, the slave maid serves the princess to wipe her face."

"Okay."

The maid brought a pot of warm water carefully soaked in flower petals, and Su Jin picked up a handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo and soaked it in the warm water full of petals.

Taking the handkerchief handed by Su Jin, Du Yao came to the bronze mirror and gently wiped his face.

Looking at the face in the bronze mirror, Du Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

She still remembered one day many years ago, she was not like this in the bronze mirror, and the woman serving beside her was not Su Jin. At that time, she was still complaining that she had lost weight again, and the last thing Wanxin wanted to hear was this......

At that time, all these things were already dreams for her, and they were the most unreal dreams.

"Princess, the slave will help you comb your hair."

Xu noticed the sorrow in Du Yao's eyes, and the delicate Su Jin guessed that Du Yao remembered all kinds of things in the past.

"Okay."

"What does the princess want to put in a bun today?"

"Weeping clouds."

"The princess wants to pull the cloud bun, which is just right with the set of Yan Bingyu's jewelry that the lord of the country rewarded a few days ago."

"That jewelry is too expensive, so don't wear it."

Du Yao has never liked luxury, if it weren't for Su Jin's jewelry, I'm afraid she would forget it.

"The princess is going to the palace for a banquet today, and it is excellent to think of this set of jewelry."

"Let's still wear the set of red jade jewelry that His Royal Highness gave me at the wedding, the red jade is also a priceless object, I don't think the concubines in the palace have ever seen it, so let them open their eyes by the way."

"The princess sees it, the slave and maid will bring that set of jewelry."

Du Yao didn't choose that set of Yan Bingyu's jewelry because she had her reasons, no matter what, she was the crown princess of the Eagle Kingdom, and the jewelry would not be bad, and she couldn't afford to wear the jewelry rewarded by the lord of the Yan Country.

If that's the case, where should Wu Bao's face go?

He cherished her so much, he regarded her as a treasure for life, and she naturally had to think about her for him.

Under Su Jin's skillful hands, it didn't take long for Du Yao's hair bun to be ready.

Looking at the delicate face in the bronze mirror, Du Yao showed a faint smile.

After dressing up carefully, Du Yao went to the side hall for breakfast accompanied by Su Jin.

As soon as she entered the side hall, Du Yao saw Wu Plague sitting on a stool waiting for her to eat.

"Why did Your Highness get up so early today?"

"I got up when I couldn't sleep, and I didn't call you when I saw that you were asleep."

Hearing Wu Yao's intimate words, Du Yao's cheeks were slightly red.

"The concubine thinks that His Highness has something important to do."

"The affairs of the Eagle Kingdom are now in the hands of my father alone, and Fang Weizhong will assist on the side, so I don't think there is anything to worry about."

"Fang Guoshi's policy of governing the country has always been admired by His Majesty, and His Royal Highness is not afraid that Fang Guoshi will take this opportunity to gain His Majesty's trust......"

"I am the crown prince of the Eagle Kingdom, even if he marries his second daughter to King Cheng as a concubine, he will not be able to shake my identity."

"In short, the concubine advises His Highness to be careful."

"What's wrong with you today? Why do you suddenly say so many strange things? ”

Wu Yao held Du Yao's hand, he felt the coldness of Du Yao's palm, and his hand held her tightly, hoping to bring her more warmth.

"The concubine just thought of it suddenly, so she told His Highness."

Meeting Wu Bao's eyes, Du Yao's eyes were so clean, which made Wu Bao believe her words.

"Okay, let's not talk so much, let's have breakfast first."

Wu Bao pulled Du Yao to sit on the stool, Du Yao looked at the table full of food, and then looked at Wu Bao beside him.

"Your Highness, can you tell your concubine who is making this breakfast today?"

had long expected Du Yao to ask such a question, and a smile gradually appeared on Wu Yao's face.

"I've been planning this breakfast for a long time, but you still broke it."

"Your Highness, the concubine is not worthy of His Highness's kindness to the concubine."

The more Wu Yao doted on Du Yao, the more guilt Du Yao felt in her heart, she didn't ask Wu Yao to finally learn the truth and forgive her, she just begged him to hurt her a little less.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are my beloved concubine, my wife, and I did it willingly. ”

"But Your Highness is expensive, how can you do these things?"

"It's worth it for you."

Meeting Wu Bao's eyes, Du Yao was confused for a moment.

"Alright, hurry up and eat, the carriage in the palace will be here soon."

"Hmm."

After breakfast, Du Yao changed her clothes under Su Jin's service.

Preparing everything, Du Yao, accompanied by Su Jin and Xiao Hua, got into the carriage in the palace and went to the palace.

On the carriage, Du Yao's face was not very good, and Su Jin on the side couldn't help but worry.

"Princess, but you're not feeling well?"

"It's okay, it's an old problem."

Listening to Du Yao's words, Xiao Hua also cast a concerned gaze.

Seeing this, Du Yao took out a jade bottle from his arms, opened the cap of the bottle casually, took out a pill and took it.

Seeing Du Yao take the medicine, Su Jin and Xiao Hua were also relieved.

"Crown Princess, your body ......"

Xiao Hua is still not very relieved about Du Yao's physical condition, his master has more than a little bit of thought about Du Yao, as a subordinate, he has the obligation to take care of her, otherwise it will be difficult for Wu Yao to explain.

"Don't worry, it's the problem that fell from the last assassination, the internal strength in the body has not yet recovered, and it will take some time to recuperate."

"Since the crown princess's internal strength has not yet recovered, remember to use martial arts."

"Xiao Hua, today's banquet is only a Hongmen banquet. After a while, you are waiting outside at the gate of the palace, and the palace is worried that something will happen, so you can take care of it outside. ”

"Yes."

Xiao Hua knew that Su Jin was good at martial arts, and with Su Jin by Du Yao's side, he wouldn't be worried.
