Zhou Qi was appointed as the Queen of Revenue and worked as a member of the Ministry of Revenue. After his marriage leave, he went to work as a job, so Xu Roujia woke up after sleeping and found that there was no one around him.
"Princess, the prince is so kind to you. I specifically told us not to wake you up before leaving."
Yuhuan was making the bed, and Yu Ping was serving Xu Roujia to wash her face, and said with a smile, "If it were someone else's new wife, you had to get up early to respect your parents-in-law, not as leisurely as the princess."
Xu Roujia was the new wife like Yu Ping. At that time, although Xie Jin treated her well, the British family did not need to pay their respects to her parents-in-law every day. Xu Roujia had to get up early to avoid being laughed at by other sisters-in-law in the Duke's Mansion. Moreover, the Duke's Mansion was so lively that there were always people coming to talk to her. Most of the time, Xu Roujia would socialize with her in a vain.
With this comparison, it is really much more comfortable to marry Zhou Qi. Her parents-in-law live in the palace, and her uncle and brother-in-law each have their own royal palaces, and they are both pure.
However, marrying the prince is also more responsible, and you can relax your laziness in private. Once you leave the palace, she is just Princess Zhuang and can't make any mistakes in any words or actions. Moreover, even if she knows that Zhou Qi became the emperor in her previous life, Xu Roujia should be more careful because of her many changes in this life, so as not to affect Zhou Qi's future because of herself.
When it comes to the throne, the princes are not just brothers and may become enemies at any time.
After finishing the washing, Xu Roujia was ashamed to find that it was time for lunch.
But this is not because she is lazy, but because Zhou Qi is too ungrateful and looks so cold and steady, the prince will change at night.
He slept well in the afternoon, and Xu Roujia was no longer sleepy. He walked around his backyard and escaped the strongest period of the sun. Xu Roujia took two maids and strolled in the garden to visit the entire palace.
Zhou Qi accompanied her once before marriage, but Xu Roujia was too unaccustomed to getting along with Zhou Qi alone at that time. In addition, the two had not yet married, so Xu Roujia did not appreciate her mistress because she was not right. Now, the Zhuang Palace is her real home.
The spring is bright and the flowers in the Zhuangwang Mansion are clustered with flowers, mainly peach blossoms, plum blossoms and crabapples.
Xu Roujia likes crabapple the most, so she asked the maids to lay mats under the crabapple tree, and Xu Roujia sat on it to enjoy the flowers.
When he was tired of sitting, Xu Roujia looked around and lay down with confidence.
Above the head are pink crabapple flowers, and above the branches is a blue sky.
The sky in the palace is not as vast as outside, and it is surrounded by high courtyard walls, majestic but closed.
Outside the palace, even the wind seemed to be much more free.
Xu Roujia suddenly felt that she could lie down like this forever without getting tired of it.
.
Zhou Qi scanned his eyes from the Ministry of Revenue.
The afterglow of the sunset shines on the steps in front of the door, and the red sun is finally about to set.
The time for the payment was already up, and officials from the Ministry of Revenue returned home one after another. Then Zhou Qi stood up, prepared his clothes and walked out.
Officials who had not left nodded to him. Although Zhou Qi was young, he was solemn and steady, and never showed off his arrogance. However, he never gave the old men of the Ministry of Revenue to fool him with his youth and lack of experience. Officials from other departments may not take this master seriously, but in the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Qi has already established his power.
Not to mention anything else, King Ning often disappeared during his wedding. Zhou Qi was the second day of his wedding, but he could have been in the Ministry of Revenue for a day. If Princess Baofu had not been famous outside, everyone would have misunderstood that King Zhuang would be dissatisfied with his newlywed wife.
Zhou Qi returned to the royal palace by carriage.
After changing clothes in the front yard, Zhou Qi went straight to the back yard.
Compared with the quiet front yard, the back yard immediately had more fireworks. The maids in the yard were busy with supper orderly. In the hall, Xu Roujia stood with her back to him, not knowing what she was saying to Yu Ping. Yu Ping discovered him first, and then his little princess also turned around immediately, looking at her eyes. She smiled slightly, then lowered her head slightly, looking a little shy.
Zhou Qi thought of last night.
She said something boldly, which would make him feel in love. She couldn't help herself and lost her composure.
The evening breeze was gentle, and Zhou Qi suddenly felt a little hot.
"The prince is back." Trying to not recall last night, Xu Roujia came to the door to greet him with a smile.
Zhou Qi nodded and raised his eyes. He found two bottles of crabapple branches on the table. Against the backdrop of the green leaves, the petals that had bloomed white and pink, and the buds were so beautiful that they looked like the cousin in front of him.
"Did you go to the park today?" Zhou Qi guessed.
Xu Roujia glanced at two bottles of begonia and smiled and said, "Yes, the autumn has come to the garden last time, and the scenery is a bit light. Now the grass is growing, the beards are flying, peaches and plums are competing for beauty. I have been walking around and I like it everywhere."
She was so excited that Zhou Qi said, "I will accompany you to go for a walk after dinner."
Xu Roujia nodded.
It was getting late, so she ordered the kitchen to arrange food.
There is a dish of shallots and tofu on the dining table.
Xu Roujia didn't say anything at first. Seeing Zhou Qi picking a few bites, she probably liked it. Xu Roujia whispered: "Mom said that my cousin likes this dish, so I asked the kitchen to make it. The tofu was bought from Guo Ji tofu, and the onion is also the first new crop of the field this year. What do you think?"
Zhou Qi liked to eat it, and he heard that the tofu blended the two concerns of his mother and wife. Zhou Qi smiled and looked at Xu Roujia and said, "The tofu is tender and smooth, the scallions are delicious, and my cousin is kind."
After saying that, he scooped a small spoon for Xu Roujia with a spoon.
The sauce used for mixing tofu is also a special sauce made by Guo Ji. It is refreshing and cool, slightly salty and spicy. Xu Roujia also thinks it tastes good.
A table of delicacies, but in the end, the only dish of this most ordinary and good tofu was eaten up by the couple.
After eating and drinking, Zhou Qi was going to take Xu Roujia to the garden.
The jade bottle is carrying a lantern and wants to follow.
Zhou Qi took the lantern and didn't have to accompany his maids.
At this time, night had already fallen, and there was still a blue color in the sky, and there was a tranquility in the Zhuang Prince's Mansion. Only occasionally did the birds return from outside and flapped their wings and hid among the branches.
Xu Roujia was shocked by the movements between a branch and couldn't help but take a few steps towards Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi naturally held her hand.
His palms were warm, Xu Roujia looked up and saw Zhou Qi's handsome side face in the halo of the lantern.
"Where are you going to take me?" Xu Roujia asked curiously when leaning against him.
Zhou Qi pointed to the pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond in front: "Go there to sit."
The pool is wide and not as scared as the shade of trees.
Xu Roujia was led into the pavilion by him.
There are beauties on all sides of the pavilion. Xu Roujia let go of Zhou Qi and sat on the best side. With a slight tilt, he could see the stars outside the pavilion.
Zhou Qi placed the lantern on the stone table in the middle, turned around, and saw Xu Roujia lying lazily, leaning back, and his bright almond eyes were intoxicated in the distance to look at the starry sky, revealing a white neck.
Zhou Qi looked silently for a while before walking over and sitting next to her.
A gust of wind blew, and Zhou Qi immediately asked Xu Roujia: "Will it be cold?"
Xu Roujia shook her head and asked him, "My cousin has moved here for two years. Have you been here tonight?"
Zhou Qi nodded: "I've been here a few times."
Xu Roujia tilted her head and asked, "One person?"
Zhou Qi nodded.
When he spoke, his phoenix eyes were facing the lake, as if he was recalling the scene of visiting the garden alone.
The night was as cool as water, and he sat in the night, looking even more cold, and it was born like this repeatedly.
Xu Roujia bit her lip and asked a question she was particularly curious about: "Cousin, as far as I know, King Huai and Ning and others had sex around them before marriage, and they had it early. Why did my cousin confiscate a maid?"
In her previous life, Zhou Qi never married until she ascended the throne. There were all kinds of rumors in the capital, and Xu Roujia had also guessed it. She didn't believe in those too ridiculous speculations, but only guessed that Zhou Qi was so mean and was naturally cold that she was so cold that she didn't even have any interest in women. However, after marrying Zhou Qi, Xu Roujia realized it with since she was very much. Zhou Qi actually liked that.
Since that's the case, why has Zhou Qi never been close to women?
Zhou Qi didn't expect her to ask this.
Xu Roujia shrank her neck and immediately added: "I just ask casually, it doesn't matter if my cousin doesn't say it."
Zhou Qi calmly gave the answer: "I don't want to settle for the person next to me casually. I haven't encountered a suitable one before, so I didn't consider it."
Perhaps most men are willing to accept beauty, but Zhou Qi is not used to being close to others, and even eating at the desk, let alone having skin and skin. Over the years, a maid has had that kind of thought about him. Zhou Qi only felt disgusted and found that one would drive away the other.
Xu Roujia understood that Zhou Qi had a high vision.
She gently grabbed the wooden board under her hand, glanced at him, and asked again: "When did you like me, then cousin?"
this……
Zhou Qi couldn't explain it clearly.
At first, in his eyes, she was a fucking cousin with a cute and scheming appearance. He didn't like her, but his mother loved her and she was bullied, so Zhou Qi couldn't sit idly by. Gradually, she became more and more courageous and approached him frequently. Zhou Qi was bothered by her entanglement, and had to admit that she was really beautiful.
When she scolded her and found that she only wanted to promote his relationship with her mother and did not want to marry him at all, Zhou Qi was a little disappointed.
Therefore, Zhou Qi really doesn't know when he will move his heart.
He shook his head honestly: "I can't explain it."
Xu Roujia smiled and looked at the lake and said, "My cousin used to be cold and often scolded me. I thought you hated me."
Zhou Qi pursed her lips. How could he often scold her?
However, I did have been trained two or three times?
"Are you angry?" he asked in a low voice.
Xu Roujia instinctively said: "How dare I be angry with you..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Roujia realized that she was like this, as if she would be really angry if she dared?
She looked at Zhou Qi nervously.
Zhou Qi kept looking at her: "Are you afraid of me?"
Xu Roujia lowered her head and whispered: "I used to be afraid, but now it's okay."
