Chapter 269 Gift
Shu Yao became the prospective princess, and the happiest thing was Qi Yueling. The emperor's grandmother said that when her sister-in-law entered the door, she could return to Prince Yong.
Qi Yueling grew up in the Cining Palace since she was a child. Because of the queen mother's favor, she treated her various treatments in the palace were no worse than those of the princess. Those unpopular princesses were even envious and jealous of her. However, as she grew older, Yueling still hoped to live in her home like others. Although the emperor's grandmother was also a close relative and loved her very much, the palace was not her home after all, right?
In addition to his father, who is far away in the southwest, Yueling's closest relatives are his brother and his future sister-in-law. After all, his brother is a man and now he is a military general. He is inevitably sent out by his uncle from time to time to do business. There is no serious mistress in the royal mansion. Concubine Zhao, who is temporarily in charge, has ulterior motives, and his sister Qi Yuexin once pushed her into the pond. Therefore, before the prince's concubine enters the door, the prince's grandmother and brother will not let her return to the royal mansion to live.
Qi Yueling originally liked Shu Yao, but now her sister Yaoer has become her sister-in-law and is a real close relative. She has a partner to talk about in the future if she has any thoughts and worries.
"Brother, when will Sister Yaoer get married?" Yue Ling looked at her brother with anticipation.
Qi Haoning smiled and said, "Your sister Yaoer has two years to go to the hairpin."
Looking at Shu Yao softly, Qi Haoning's eyes were extremely bright. He naturally hoped that the sooner the wedding would be better. Therefore, when he went to Guangdong City, he had to do his best to solve the pirate gang led by the "Water Dragon King" within two years, complete the tasks assigned by the emperor's uncle, and rush back to the capital before Yao'er and the hairpin. He married his wife home.
Thinking of Jin Xida and Shu Jieba's attitude of not staying with Yao'er for two years, Qi Haoning sighed inwardly and said, "When I come back, I will be fucked with them again." Thinking about it, it's fortunate that he will go to Guangdong City in the past two years, otherwise he would be waiting for Yao'er to grow up, which would be frustrating. He could see it, but couldn't touch it."
Although Qi Haoning had never touched a woman, he often heard those very explicit descriptions in the army. He even curiously sneaked through a book or two about men and women's love and misfortune, but he was not ignorant. However, in his opinion, those intimate things must be done with his beloved woman, just for him to love her deeply, just for each other, and not for other messy purposes.
When he thought of those women who were calculating were lying naked under him. So what if he was so charming? He would feel uncomfortable all over, as if he had become a bargaining chip for a certain transaction or a certain calculation.
But, if it were Yao'er... Qi Haoning couldn't help but feel rippling, his face became hot, his ears turned red, and he quickly retracted his thoughts and spat in secret.
For some reason, Hao Ning suddenly recalled the smooth feeling of holding Shu Yao's hand yesterday. The beautiful touch he had never had before made him miss it. I really wanted to hold it all the time and never let it go for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, he was too nervous at that time, and his nerves were tense, so he didn't bother to experience it carefully.
Qi Yueling saw that his brother answered his words, but his eyes were fixed on Sister Yaoer and laughed "Puchi". But he didn't mind at all. Is it a good thing for his brother and sister-in-law to have a good relationship?
Shu Yao also noticed it. She glared at Haoning, but the cute look really surprised Haoning again. She felt itchy in her heart. She really wanted to hug the little girl in her arms...
The two of them had lunch at Cining Palace before returning to Yongping Marquis' Mansion. Shu Yao held Hao Ning's hand onto the carriage and whispered: "Brother Ning, don't rush back later, I have something to give to you."
"Okay," Hao Ning's eyes lit up. He happened to have something to give to Yao'er. Are they really in tune with each other? "Yao'er, would I want a purse you embroidered by yourself?" The purse he had been hiding for several years was ordinary and had no embroidery. However, only such a purse can Yao'er be left to a stranger, right?
Shu Yao was stunned, burned by the enthusiasm and expectation in Haoning's eyes, and said softly: "Okay, but it takes ten days and half a month to embroider." Qi Haoning is her fiancé, so it is not unreasonable to give a purse.
Qi Haoning was so happy that his eyebrows were curved, and his voice was particularly soft: "I left the capital around the tenth day of next month. There are still 20 days left. I'll give it to me before that. I will always carry it with me."
Shu Yao said "um" softly, lowered her head, and quickly got into the carriage.
Haoning looked at Shu Yao's shy "escape" look, and the corners of her mouth bent high, making it feel so good to have a kiss! It feels so good to have a fiancée!
Back at the Yongping Marquis Mansion, Qi Haoning followed Shu Yao to Mingyueyuan, thinking along the way about what Shu Yao would give him. His excitement could only be described in four words: his heart was full of joy.
The small flower hall in Mingyue Garden is very exquisite. In fact, the flower hall is not large in size, and most of the decorations are not valuables, but they are more elegant and complementary. Being in it can give people a peaceful and comfortable enjoyment, just like Shu Yao, the owner of the flower hall.
In fact, it is not only this small flower hall, but also Qi Haoning feels extremely comfortable as soon as he walks into Mingyue Garden.
"Yaoer, will you redecorate our yard in the future?" This feeling is great, just in line with the original intention of my mother's name his yard Zhiyuanyuan: to be quiet and far away. "My mother is a wise and quiet woman. When she was very young, her mother told me that moving can nourish the body and quiet can nourish the nature. Only by thinking and reflecting can you see further and go further. So my name is 'Hao Ning', and my yard is named 'Zhiyuanyuan'."
Shu Yao's face turned red when she heard "our yard", but her mind was quickly attracted by Qi Haoning's memories. She couldn't help but follow Haoning's explanation to imagine the image of the former princess Jingmei and the way she was when she said those words. Liu's mother said that Princess Yong was beautiful and kind, and talking to her was a very comfortable thing.
Following this idea, Shu Yao nodded naturally and responded with a "hmm".
Quietness leads to far-reaching? She also likes it and is very interested in decorating such artistic conception. Besides, she has always been very particular about the environment and atmosphere of her living, and she is naturally happy to be able to decorate herself. Her marriage with Qi Haoning has been decided, and she will be Prince Yong's concubine in the future, and she will definitely live in Zhiyuan Garden in Qi Haoning. Now Qi Haoning has opened her mouth to hand over the right to redesign the yard, which is a kind of love and trust for her, and it is also a different way to express her appreciation for Mingyue Garden. Pretending to refuse or something is not beautiful.
Qi Haoning took a brocade box from Yunxiao and opened it. It was a red jade hairpin inside. You could tell at a glance that it was the "blood jade" from Tibet. It was the best among the red jade, which was rare to see.
The jade hairpin has a delicate texture and a smooth color. The hairpin head is a lifelike rose flower the size of a real flower. What is rare is that the flower head and hairpin are obviously carved from a whole piece of jade.
Because she has been helping Lan Yuexuan to "raise" jade for many years, Shu Yao has seen many good jades. However, the jade hairpin in front of her suddenly attracted her eyes and she was almost reluctant to move it away...
Shu Yao's reaction greatly pleased Qi Haoning: "The jade hairpins are a pair, using an ancient dowry left by the mother's mother. Last time I went to the southwest, my father gave them to me and said one was a betrothal gift for my wife and the other was a dowry for Yue'er. Yao'er, do you like it?"
Shu Yao's eyes were bright: "I like it, it's so beautiful." Not only is the best blood jade, but the carving of this hairpin is also the best. When worn on the head, everyone will think it is a real rose, right?
Qi Haoning said softly: "I originally wanted to wait for you to give it to you when you are in the hairpin, but I am afraid that if I can't get there, Yao'er, hide it first and take it out the hairpin that day. You have to promise me that as long as I can arrive before the hairpin, I will wear it for you with my own hands."
Shu Yao, who was about to take the hairpin, quitted her hand.
Qi Haoning was very injured: "Yao'er?" The little girl didn't want to?
When Shu Yao saw Qi Haoning's eyes, she knew that he had misunderstood and quickly said, "Brother Ning will give it to me after he returns to Beijing. If you promised, you will definitely attend my wedding ceremony. Then you will bring it yourself and put it on with me."
Qi Haoning's heart warmed up. It turned out that the little girl was worried about him, so she "forced" him to bring concerns. She asked him to come back to attend the wedding ceremony. In fact, she was concerned about him and his safety.
Shu Yao looked at Mother Liu. Mother Liu understood, and with a light wave, the maids and mothers retreated. Mother Liu took Lan Jin and Zi Jin also retreated to the door to guard it. The door was not easy to close, but Mother Liu and the other three were there and would not let others get close.
Yunxiao was also a smart person. Seeing this situation, he "consciously" went out and took the initiative to patrol around the flower hall.
Shu Yao took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and a precautions written by Shu Jie, and said softly: "Brother Ning, this is the 'marrow-cleaning fruit'. If you take it, your skills can be at least doubled. In the future, you will learn other martial arts much faster than others. Practicing qigong twice as much as you can with half the effort."
Qi Haoning was stunned. This is the "marrow-cleaning fruit" mentioned by his master Ouyang Yu? Isn't that something in the "legacy"? It really exists in reality? Isn't it a saint in the martial arts world? Once the storm is revealed, it will definitely cause a bloody storm.
Shu Yao saw the surprise in Qi Haoning's eyes, so she briefly said Huohuo and his brothers took their brothers and sisters to find the marrow cleansing fruit: "Brother took it back then, and Wen'er also took it before entering Beijing this time. Brother Ning, when you take marrow cleansing fruit, you must be protected by reliable people, because you will sleep for five hours without reaction." Someone in the palace wanted to harm Qi Haoning. What if you take action at that time, wouldn't it be dangerous?
After being shocked, Hao Ning immediately shook his head and said decisively: "No, Yao'er, you'll take it."
Shu Yao knows martial arts, but others don’t know, but he has long known that his life was saved by Yao'er. It is obvious that the three marrow-cleaning fruits were originally from each of the three siblings. (To be continued.
