He expressed his thoughts in a subtle way, but ended up getting a look of disbelief from Steward Mo.
Steward Mo looked at Ji Yujin lying on the bed, then looked at Chu Fengqing, with all kinds of subtleties in his cloudy eyes.
Although Chu Fengqing didn’t want to admit it, but he understood the look in Steward Mo’s eyes. That look was too straightforward, clearly saying, “You’ve already consummated your marriage, but still an outsider???”
Chu Fengqing: “……” The matter between him and Ji Yujin cannot be cleared even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
Steward Mo rolled his eyes, as if he suddenly realized something. “Madam, the servant will send the servants away right away.”
Chu Fengqing: “?”
Steward Mo was also transferred from Xichang. He was an eunuch, which was why he was able to enter the inner room.
He bowed and said, “Madam, don’t be embarrassed. It’s common for newlyweds to feel shy.”
Chu Fengqing: “……”
Shy?
As soon as Chu Fengqing opened his mouth, Steward Mo and his people hurriedly retreated and winked at him.
Chu Fengqing was speechless and had no way to explain. He turned around and looked at Ji Yujin, who was lying on the bed. Ji Yujin was barely conscious and was in a daze from the burns.
Chu Fengqing sighed lightly. Alright, after all, he has a special identity.
He rolled up his sleeves, the cold water made his fingers hurt, and he wrung out the wet towel.
Ji Yujin’s breathing was a little heavy. He put the wet towel on Ji Yujin’s forehead. When he got closer, he found that his eyelashes were quite long, both black and long, and did not look soft.
Chu Fengqing couldn’t help but touch it, he found that it was much softer than he thought. His eyelashes trembled when he touched it.
Chu Fengqing raised his eyebrows and stared at the trembling eyelashes, which looked a little pitiful. A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Let him bully him now.
The more he played, the more excited he became. Just when he was getting too excited, the eyes under his fingers quietly opened.
Chu Fengqing: “……”
The two looked at each other then he looked at Chu Fengqing’s fingers, and fell silent.
After a while, Chu Fengqing awkwardly withdrew his evil hand, with no expression on his face. He calmly took the towel off Ji Yujin’s forehead and put it into the basin.
Amid the sound of splashing water, Chu Fengqing pursed his lips tightly. When did he wake up? He probably didn’t notice it, right?
Ji Yujin curled his lower lip and touched his eyelashes with his fingers. What’s so fun about this? It all comes down to the word “love”. When facing the person you like, you can even play with their eyelashes for so long.
Ji Yujin’s voice was hoarse from the burning, and he asked knowingly, “Is it fun?”
The towel Chu Fengqing had just twisted fell into the washbasin. He was stunned for a moment, twisted it again, and pretended to be stupid. “What?”
It wasn’t noticeable on his face, but his earlobes felt slightly hot. After all, it was a bit embarrassing to be caught bullying someone.
Ji Yujin’s smile became even wider. He poked the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and said with a smile, “You took advantage of me while I was asleep, and you dared to play dumb. What? You dare not take responsibility for what you did?”
Chu Fengqing: “……”
Ji Yujin opened his mouth carelessly, as if ready to be taken advantage of, and smiled nonchalantly: “How about I let you play with me again? I’ll lie here, and you come?”
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips. This person is so annoying.
He stretched out his hand to wring out the towel and threw it directly over. Ji Yujin quickly caught the towel: “You took advantage of me, and you are even angry? Chu Yinyin, are you making sense?”
Chu Fengqing walked up to him with a cold face and suddenly moved closer to Ji Yujin.
Ji Yujin was startled and lay back: “What are you doing?”
Chu Fengqing blinked and said seriously, “I’ll give it back to you.”
Ji Yujin: “……” Give what? Taking advantage!
Chu Fengqing: “……”
The two looked at each other. It was the first time that Ji Yujin looked at his face carefully from such a close distance. He lowered his gaze slightly and subconsciously stared at his slightly pale lips.
Ji Yujin’s eyes widened, his adam apple slid up and down, he turned his head suddenly, turned over, and said in a muffled voice with his back to Chu Fengqing, “I’m going to sleep, you go out.”
Chu Fengqing frowned. There really was something wrong with this person.
After the door was closed, Ji Yujin turned his head to look at the door. He pursed his lips, touched his rapidly beating heart, then retracted his gaze and covered his eyes with his arm.
After Chu Fengqing came out, Steward Mo had already bought the medicine back. He took a look at the herbs and found that they were of good quality.
He should also go and prepare some pills. He gave the last one to Ji Yujin last time. If he gets sick again… it might be dangerous without medicine.
But some of the medicinal ingredients in this pill are quite precious, and now he…
Chu Fengqing touched his pouch. The flat pouch made his hand pause. A crack rarely appeared in his cold expression. For the first time, he understood what it meant to be short of money.
He couldn’t ask Ji Yujin for the money. He already owed him, so he couldn’t use his money anymore.
He seemed to see two big words, “poor ghost” on his own head.
He really wants to go out and make money. Chu Fengqing blinked and began to think about the feasibility of going out to practice medicine and make money.
Forget it, let’s wait and see about the medicine.
The most urgent task is to go to the the prison.
Ji Yujin’s physique is really strong. After just one day, his high fever went away after taking the medicine.
During breakfast, Chu Fengqing looked at Ji Yujin as if he were a monster. He was ready for a long battle, but he didn’t expect that Ji Yujin would get up and have breakfast with him the next day.
Maybe it’s because he has been in poor health since childhood, so he envies people with good physical fitness. He hasn’t even recovered from a cold, and he looks like nothing happened with such a serious sword wound.
Chu Fengqing looked at his own wrist, then looked at Ji Yujin’s wrist, which was much thicker than his!
Ji Yujin took a sip of porridge, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. Why was he staring at him again?
Chu Fengqing frowned. Normally, he didn’t have a very good appetite. This time, he was angry and drank two bowls of porridge, three steamed dumplings, and ate a few cakes. Even Steward Mo looked at him sideways.
Ji Yujin glanced at his stomach, worried that he had indigestion, and then he withdrew his gaze when he saw that he was fine. However, he still kept it in mind that he should not let him eat so much next time, for fear that it would upset his stomach.
It seemed that he was very happy that his injury had healed, and he even ate an extra bowl of rice.
In the afternoon, news suddenly came from the palace, asking the Governor of Xichang to bring his wife to the palace to attend a palace banquet.
Chu Fengqing: “Palace Banquet?” Why is the palace banquet being held at this time?
Ji Yujin had his feet propped up on the table. He was wearing only half of his clothes, with the other half bandaged and exposed. His black hair was scattered over his shoulders. He smiled in a particularly sarcastic way but did not speak.
This palace banquet was a celebration banquet.
Return victorious.
The war in Liangchen was a complete joke. The front soldiers defended the city with their lives, but the reinforcements that came later took the credit, and the front soldiers became useless soldiers who had lost the battle.
Ji Yujin glanced at Chu Fengqing, and his eyes darkened. “Her” brother disappeared in that war and was labeled a deserter. He was even on the list of fugitives.
Ji Yujin: “You don’t have to go tonight, I’ll go, you just take care of your illness.”
Chu Fengqing: “Is it fine? Isn’t this disobeying orders?”
Even though he didn’t want to go.
Ji Yujin smiled, looked into the distance, and said in a strange tone, “How can there be so many disobedient orders?”
Since Ji Yujin said it was fine, Chu Fengqing naturally agreed.
He had wanted to go out today to look for his previous informant. He had to find a way to get into the prison and cure his father’s illness so that he could understand what had happened before.
After coming out of Ji Yujin’s room, he just went back to the room when he heard two maids chatting outside the door.
“Dowry cakes are being distributed outside the city gate. If you’re late, they’ll be gone. Hurry!”
“Dowry cakes? What dowry cakes? Are you crazy? You want to die by running outside during your shift?!”
“I also heard it from the old soup boy who delivered the dishes. He ran away as soon as he put down the dishes. I heard that Liangchen won a great victory in the war, so they distributed dowry cakes, saying that they would share the joy with the people, but the quantity was limited. Let’s sneak out for a while, and no one will find out. I’ll ask my brother to help me keep an eye on it. Let’s go! Let’s go and see the excitement!”
Liangchen! The war in which his brother disappeared.
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips, turned around, and walked into the house. “Ji Yujin, I will go to the palace banquet with you tonight.”
Ji Yujin glanced at him, “Are you sure?”
Chu Fengqing nodded slightly.
Ji Yujin hesitated for a moment, then said, “Fine, up to you.”
The attire for the palace banquet was relatively formal. Ji Yujin wore a bright red bullfighting attire and a Liangguan, which suppressed his ruffian look and made him look a lot more dignified and solemn.
Chu Fengqing was wearing a gorgeous official uniform, which was specially granted to first-rank ladies. It matched Ji Yujin’s and was also bright red in color. It was gorgeous, solemn, and full of nobility.
Ji Yujin was stunned when he first saw him, then smiled and said, “Not bad, this dress suits you.”
