The streets were still hustle and fireworks were still flying, but Hanzhu's heart seemed to have been stolen, looking blankly at the entrance of the alley.

She wasn't dreaming, she really saw Cheng Yu, dressed in black, and since he was here, why did he leave in a hurry?

"Sister, I want to watch the fireworks too!" Ah Xun came to his sister at some point and stood on tiptoe to look out.

"Dad hug you and see."

Behind him, Chu Qing pushed away the chair and stood up. Hanzhu raised her head slightly and held back her tears.

You can't cry, you can't let Chu Qing see it.

She should be happy. Cheng Yu still likes to say ruthless words with a cold face, but in fact he is not as cruel as he says. On the way here before, the person hiding in the crowd should be him? Did he follow her all the way? When she sat here eating dumplings, he kept hiding in that shadow and secretly looked at her? When she discovered it, he couldn't hold on and ran away?

Hanzhu couldn't help laughing, as if she saw him eating pastries with a cold face.

"I like watching fireworks?" Chu Qing held her son and asked softly when she saw her daughter smiling so happily at the fireworks.

Hanzhu had a little hot face, but he still nodded as he said, pretending to be happy to see the fireworks.

"When my dad has time, I will take you to the village for a few nights." Chu Qing rubbed his chin against the back of his son's head, holding his healthy son in his arms, and standing next to him was his gentle and sensible daughter. Looking at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky, his heart felt soft, as if he had not been so satisfied in the past thirty years.

"I want to eat dumplings!" After the fireworks were set off, Ah Xun sniffed and turned his head to look at the table.

Chu Qing and Hanzhu looked at each other and smiled, and the family of three returned to the dining table.

After a while of delay, and he used A Xun's slow meal, Hanzhu scooped dumpling soup and drank it, he caught Gu Heng and his wife passing by outside. Hanzhu did not stop at all. He lowered his head to drink the soup. After drinking it, he raised his head and saw that A Xun's mouth was covered with vegetable leaves, and he chuckled gently, gentle and beautiful.

Gu Heng saw this smile and became more sure that she was just a person with a childhood sweetheart, otherwise how could she be so intimate with Chu Qing and his son?

Silently retracted his gaze, and the couple left hand in hand.

Hanzhu and the other two finished their meals soon, and they ate after dinner, and just went for a walk on the street.

This time, Hanzhu became absent-minded. She turned around and talked to Chu Qing Axun, or pretended to look at the pavilions on both sides, and would take the opportunity to quietly pay attention to the rear. However, she didn't see Cheng Yu at all. I don't know if he hid too well or had already left.

But Hanzhu was not disappointed because she knew that Cheng Yu liked her more than she thought.

After resting at night, Hanzhu lies on the bed, which is inevitable for a long time.

She felt sorry for him and really understood how much he cared about his physical problems. Hanzhu was a girl and she couldn't understand his feelings personally, but let her say that if she had physical problems, she could not let him touch her, could not let him enjoy the joy of husband and wife, nor could she have children for him, would she dare tell him? She would also be worried about being disliked by him. Even if he was willing to marry her, would she feel sorry for her?

I clearly like it, but I dare not get close to it because I am afraid of being disliked, and I am afraid that I will delay the other party from a lifetime to not get close. Is it because I am thinking too much?

Sweet for yourself and feel sorry for him.

Hanzhu turned over, touched the gauze tent, and secretly thought about how to tell him her feelings. Since she understood his difficulties, she should take the initiative, so as not to suffer more than her.

In the Jing Palace, Cheng Yu leaned against the bathtub with his eyes closed, and his mind was full of her appearance.

The first time he saw her wearing men's clothes, her hair was tied up, revealing her small, slender neck with small ears. She looked like she was one or two years younger, and she didn't know how to make her chest look a lot, and she looked like a thin boy. After the last time she parted, she seemed to be doing a good life, talking and laughing with Chu Qing, like a real family of three.

When someone suddenly set off fireworks in the alley, did she see him?

I should have seen it, so I looked back frequently, pretending to be a perfect match for myself.

Thinking of her head protruding, Cheng Yu's mouth curled up, and when she smiled, it turned into bitterness.

I don’t know what she was thinking, but no matter what she thought, he couldn’t delay her whole life. Seeing her smiling so well when talking to Chu Qing and his son, his affairs should have no effect on her. It’s best if the two of them have never met each other before.

Hanzhu didn't know what Cheng Yu was thinking. After two days of worry, she decided to write a letter to Cheng Yu, but when she picked up the pen, she didn't know how to start writing. If he had scars on his face and was afraid that she would dislike him, she would directly say that, but if there was no mouth in his mouth, it would be difficult to write.

Or, just pass by that thing and tell him that she likes him too?

Hanzhu pursed her lips, looked outside, lifted her sleeves and wrote.

"I feel deeply in love," after writing the four words, Hanzhu's pretty face turned red, but she continued to write, "I also have lovesickness."

After finishing writing, I felt it was too straightforward and explicit. Hanzhu immediately touched the eight words on the paper, and collected them and threw them into the small bamboo basket next to the desk.

"Sister, Dad is back." Ah Xun called her in the yard excitedly. Hanzhu was shocked. It was still early until dusk. Why did Chu Qing come back so soon today?

Putting down the pen, Hanzhu rushed to the mirror first, making sure that his face was not wrong, and then went out to see someone.

Chu Qing had already led A Xun into the main hall. After sitting down, he looked at his daughter and asked with a smile: "Read in the house again?"

After Hanzhu came to the Hou Mansion, his ability to lie was not good. He went over smoothly, poured a cup of tea and brought it to Chu Qing, and then sat in the main seat opposite, asking curiously: "Why did Dad come back so early today?"

Chu Qing sighed, "The emperor decided to go to the autumn hunting of Xishan Mountain, and his father also had to go with him. He set out early the next morning and came back only after the Double Ninth Festival."

Hanzhu was stunned and immediately thought of Cheng Yu. Cheng Yu was from the Divine Crossbow Guard. It seemed that the emperor would follow his entourage when he went on a trip. Wouldn't Cheng Yu be away from the capital for nearly a month?

She looked reluctant. When Chu Qing saw that her daughter couldn't bear to leave herself, her heart felt like she was hit by something and jumped quickly. She hurriedly said, "Hanhan, don't worry, Dad arranged for your elder brother to stay at home. Wherever you want to go, you will follow your elder brother. He is calm and will never let you be bullied."

"I want to go hunting with my father, too." Ah Xun finally heard what was going on and hugged his father and acted coquettishly.

Chu Qing carried his son to his lap and coaxed him, "That's not possible. It will take more than half a month for Ah Xun to see his sister. Don't you want to?"

A Xun is so smart, "Take my sister there too."

Chu Qing laughed, "Men are going to hunt, but not girls." Only a few concubines from the palace went with him on this trip. Even if Emperor Mingde asked the officials to take his family, he would not bring his beautiful daughter. It was okay to be looked down upon by the princes, but he could find a way to refuse him. What should he do if Emperor Mingde takes a fancy to him? No matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to fight against the emperor.

"Okay, Dad has something to do. Come back and tell you, you won't have to wait for me to have dinner at night." Chu Qing held his son and kissed him, and said to his daughter.

Hanzhu quickly got up and went to see him off, "That daddy remembers to have a meal outside."

Chu Qing smiled and touched her daughter's head and strode.

Hanzhu stood at the door of the main hall and watched him walk away. He looked at the direction of Prince Jing's mansion. After thinking about it, he decided to wait for Cheng Yu to return to Beijing before talking. She happened to take advantage of this period of time to think about how to write in the letter.

The next night, when Chu Qing was busy saying goodbye to the children, King Jing Cheng Jingrong had dinner and called his two sons who were going to Xishan tomorrow to the study.

"Huaichuan, you are not good at equestrianism. Be careful when hunting and don't take risks impulsively to steal the limelight." He first instructed his eldest son.

The prince Cheng Duo said a little embarrassedly: "My son follows the teachings of his father and never be greedy for merit."

Cheng Jingrong nodded and looked at his second son: "The archery skills of embracing the pen are superb. Those aristocratic families are probably not as good as you. However, this time, King Ding and several princes have all gone. You should be careful and don't steal their limelight." Mu Xiu is definitely destroyed by Lin Feng. He doesn't want to cause trouble, and he doesn't want to be missed by the princes because of his son.

Cheng Yu knew what the man at the desk was really worried about, so he responded and said that he had heard it and did not say much.

"Okay, let's go back and rest." Cheng Jingrong and these two sons were not close to each other. After saying what they should have said, he sent them away.

The two brothers left the house, said goodbye, and parted ways at the corner of the corridor.

"This time you stay in the capital. If cousin and the others go out, you will follow him in person." When he returned to Changfeng Hall, Cheng Yu ordered Chen Shuo seriously.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will never ask my cousin to have something to do with my cousin." Chen Shuo knew the weight of Ah Xun's brothers in Cheng Yu's heart and solemnly promised. When he looked up, he saw Cheng Yu being distracted. He thought for a while and whispered: "Second Master, please be careful on this trip to the West Mountain. The whereabouts of the assassins had not been found yet. Maybe they will take this opportunity to take action again."

Cheng Yu's expression did not change much, and he nodded and said, "I know, let's go down."

Chen Shuo glanced at him again before retreating.

Cheng Yu took out the sachet in his arms and smiled.

He said he wanted to guard her, so how could something happen to him?
