late night song

Chapter 12
After many days of careful work, the shirt he planned to give to Qi Xian was completed. Gu Yuchu compared the sewn clothes and was very satisfied.

I just received the message. Qi Jie returned to Qidu three days ago. After returning to the palace to report, he can return home tonight.

The anti-Japanese war in the East China Sea was a complete victory. More than a hundred Japanese warships were destroyed, and their strength was greatly damaged. The fishermen in the East China Sea could live in peace for three to five years.

Although Lin Feng was unfavorable in leading the army, he later relied on his years of experience in naval warfare to cooperate with the Ping Qi army to defeat the Japanese navy, and he opened a frame to ask for credit.

Emperor Ming remembered his past meritorious service in naval battles and allowed him to make amends for his past mistakes and retain his original position. He also granted his wife the title of Second Grade Imperial Lady. This was to express gratitude to her family members for their support and contribution to the soldiers on the battlefield. In fact, it was because Lin Zixian was deposed. This incident gave comfort and warning to the Lin family.

For the opening of the frame, Emperor Ming did not give any substantial reward other than verbal praise. However, he rewarded King Ning Qi Jijue, who happened to return from Bianzhou to provide disaster relief, with a reward of [-] taels of gold, [-] pearls and jade, and [-] households with food. Everyone in the dynasty speculated on Emperor Ming's intentions.

When he learned that the King of Qin had returned victorious, Gu Yuchu ordered Xu Zhang to prepare dinner early in order to take care of him.

After Qi Jie returned home, she went straight to Linyue Pavilion without having time to take off her armor. At this time, Gu Yuchu was playing with the flowers and plants on the window pane. She heard the clanking sound of armor and the friction of swords, and she knew it was him before she even raised her head. came back.

"You're back." The two looked at each other, and Gu Yuchu suppressed his inner joy and said calmly.

"Yeah." Qi Jian said in a muffled voice. He really wanted to go forward and hug her, but he was so tired and had not changed his clothes for more than ten days, so he thought about it and endured it.

"Dinner is being prepared, Your Majesty, it's better to tidy up quickly."

"Okay." Qi Jian looked at Gu Yuchu's crescent-shaped eyes, which were very warm. After many years of fighting, even when he returned in triumph, he still faced a huge and empty palace. If he hadn't been with Gu Yuxin, his life would have been even more difficult. Extremely cold.

If Gu Yuxin is like the flickering candlelight that can accompany him through the moment of vulnerability and loneliness, then Gu Yuchu is like the moonlight shining on the bedside, which is equally cold and makes him unable to help but share the warmth of his remaining breath. .

Qi Jian turned around and went out. Gu Yuchu followed him unconsciously and wanted to speak but stopped.

At this moment, Qi Jian suddenly turned around, opened his arms, hugged her tightly, and gently kissed her forehead.

Gu Yuchu was shocked and said nothing, not knowing what to say.

"Does it stink?"

"Ah."

With such an honest answer, Qi Jian couldn't help but laugh, touched her head, and went out.

In the back hall, the girls had prepared dinner and put it on the table, while Gu Yuchu was preparing the meal.

In the nearly six months since she returned to the palace, she has become very familiar with all the affairs in the palace. Coupled with her generous attitude and Xu Zhang's help, the maids and servants have completely become convinced of her, the newly arrived princess.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Gu Yuchu, who was busy, turned his head and happened to see Gu Yuxin and Qi Zhen walking into the main hall together. In a daze, he felt that they looked like their unwaveringly loving parents.

Qi Lian changed into a crimson gown, with two auspicious clouds showing off two auspicious clouds with black thread on the neckline. It was not particularly conspicuous, but it was very unique.Gu Yuxin was also dressed brightly, a cyan skirt with white plum blossoms embroidered on it.

"Everyone, please sit down." Qi Jian said, and the three of them sat down together.

"Let's drink some pigeon soup first." Before Gu Yuchu could finish, Qi Zhen picked out a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy cake and started eating it. She had no choice but to serve a bowl and pass it to her sister to cover up her embarrassment.

Gu Yuxin took the white porcelain bowl and put it aside. She raised her chin and looked at Qi Jian and asked, "Brother Jian, what's delicious in the East China Sea?"

After saying that, she picked up another piece of bacon with plum sauce and put it into his bowl. The auspicious cloud pattern embroidered on her sleeves was exactly the same as the one on the collar.

Gu Yuchu felt a little astringent in his heart, but when he looked at the embroidered pattern on the collar of the frame, it became clear.

His new clothes were made by his sister, so how should he give his gift?

"I just know how to eat." Qi Jian rolled his eyes at her fondly.

"Sister, do you think Brother Zhan's dress looks good? It's a birthday gift made by me myself." "It looks good." Gu Yuchu took a sip of the clear soup and praised softly.

"Where's yours?" Qi Zhi looked at her and asked seriously.

"I... haven't had time to prepare yet, and I don't know what you like..."

Gu Yuchu was speechless for a moment. In fact, he really didn't know him at all. His short memory of those two years was so thin. What did he like to eat?What kind of wine do you like to drink?What books do you like to read?She didn't know any of this.

Qi Jian was a little angry, frowned, and said reproachfully: "Every day there are many affairs in the palace, and the princess really doesn't have to worry so much. She can take the time to care about your husband."

Gu Yuchu smiled awkwardly and lowered his head, making it difficult to distinguish her expression.

Seeing her like this, Qi Jian couldn't bear to criticize her any more, so he changed the topic and started talking about the war situation in the East China Sea and the customs and customs.

From now on, although the topics continued, the three of them did not enjoy the meal, and only each of them understood the various reasons.

After finishing the meal, Gu Yuchu returned to Linyue Pavilion alone. When he saw the clothes neatly folded and placed on the bedside, he felt a little eyesore for a moment.

"Liansheng, please put your clothes away quickly and send them to another day." She ordered listlessly, as if she had been beaten by frost.

"Why, Princess, it took you two full months to make it. The prince has finally returned in triumph, so it is the most appropriate time to send him off." Luluo girl was very anxious.

Liansheng understood Gu Yuchu's temper best and quickly winked at Luluo.

"What do you know? The princess has her own arrangements, so put it away quickly."

Gu Yuchu was in a bad mood, and was very upset about his decision to make trouble.

I'm afraid this gift will never be given again, or it shouldn't be given in the first place.

The girls prepared hot water, and she took off her dress angrily and leaned in the barrel in a daze. It was not until the water cooled that she shivered from the cold before she got up and put on her clothes.

She walked around the curtain dejectedly, but unexpectedly found that Qi Zhen had fallen asleep leaning on her bed.

Now, the woman is in a bit of a dilemma and doesn’t know what to do?
Wake him up?It was hard work on the battlefield, and the journey back was tiring, so she couldn't have a good rest until she got back to the house, and she couldn't bear it.

But if he doesn't bark, is it possible that he should stay at his place for the night? !

Gu Yuchu stood quietly by the bed, looking at the tired look of the man in his sleep, feeling confused and distressed.

Forget it, there are still some soft spots on the left and right, so it's not a big deal if she just spends one night.

The woman who had made up her mind was about to turn around, but unexpectedly her right hand was grabbed and pulled again. When she reacted, she was already lying on Qi Zhen's body. She could feel the warmth of his chest and hear him. See his ups and downs of heartbeat.

She was at a loss and staggered in an attempt to get up. Unexpectedly, she turned over and rolled around on the bed with her. Then the man chose a comfortable position and held her tightly in his arms.

How dare Gu Yuchu continue to be so ambiguous and want to struggle, but Qi Zhen tightened his arms, naturally pressed his chin against her head, closed his eyes and murmured: "Good boy, don't move."

The woman was stunned for a while, her heartbeat was pounding. She thought about it again and again, but she still felt that she couldn't be so obedient, so she still tried to find a way to break free, but Qi Zhi refused to give up, half-opened her eyes and looked at the woman in her arms dotingly, and said softly : "Can you just treat it as a birthday gift to me?"

There was a hint of caution in his hoarse and tired voice, and Gu Yuchu couldn't help but tremble slightly. As he considered the meaning of these words, the drumbeat in his heart doubled in speed, and he was so nervous that his hands and feet were sweating.

But at this moment, the sound of even breathing came to her ears.

Gu Yuchu looked up at him and found that Qi Zhen was already asleep. Thinking of his random thoughts just now, his cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Then he relaxed his stiff body slightly and calmed down.
