Taihe Restaurant.
Zhou Yuexue nestled in Chu Chengyao's arms, confiding in her pain of lovesickness.
Chu Chengyao: "I miss you too. Although I don't go to court during the Spring Festival, I still stay in the palace every day. In addition, in recent days, my father has always come to me to play chess and talk, and I can't even get away. See you."
"It's a good thing that Your Highness is favored by His Majesty. How can Xue'er blame you? It's really a gratifying thing that Your Highness is crowned a prince. Xue'er must go to the temple to live well and fulfill her wish."
When Chu Chengyao heard this, the impatience in his eyes flashed away: Is it a happy event to be crowned King of Jin? Really short-sighted.
Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, when he spoke, his tone was softer than before:
"I have to thank my Xue'er for praying to God and praying to Buddha for me. Yesterday I found another Bu Yao for you. You can try it on later and see if you like it."
Zhou Yuexue was happy at first, then felt aggrieved and depressed:
"I like what your Highness gave you, but... I can't take it back home."
"Why?"
Zhou Yuexue: "Speaking of which, Xue'er also wants to apologize to His Highness. The gold and red jade headband that Your Highness gave me last time was broken by my sister. I have already sent it to a jewelry shop for repair, but I don't know. Whether it can recover or not, it is safer to leave Bu Yao here with His Highness."
Chu Chengyao: "Why did she slap you on the head? How did Mr. Zhou deal with it? Did you just let it go?"
Zhou Yuexue's eyes were slightly red: "Sister... she accidentally knocked her down in my house. My dad has been protecting my sister like a pair of eyes since she was young, so I don't know how to deal with her."
Chu Chengyao hugged Zhou Yuexue and coaxed him gently. When Zhou Yuexue had a smile on his face, he said indignantly:
"It's unreasonable for a young girl to dare to bully me! We are both biological flesh and blood, but Mr. Zhou is so partial. Since he can't hold it clearly, I want to help him level a bowl of water."
Zhou Yuexue softly begged her father for mercy, but her words were filled with grievances. Chu Chengyao felt heartbroken when she heard this.
After the people left, Chu Chengyao asked Zhong Yi to prepare a small gift.
During the morning meal the next day, Zhou Yuexue said that Lin Yanqing wanted to meet Zhou's father alone outside. The happy father rarely brought Zhou Yuexue some vegetables, ate his meal eagerly, then went back to the room to change clothes, packed up and walked out the door.
After Zhou's father left, ignoring the troubling moods of the mother and son, Zhou Yuexue calmly returned to her yard with a smile on her face, and embroidered women's red with peace of mind.
At noon, after Zhou's father returned home, he went straight to Zhou Yuexue's yard. Looking at Zhou Yuexue who was serving him tea with a low eyebrow, Zhou's father had a complicated expression and waved all the servants in the room to leave.
"You... know who I'm meeting?"
Although it was a question, Father Zhou's tone was full of determination.
Zhou Yuexue said with a smile: "I know it. I thought that getting to know my father would be good for his official career and the family, so I overstepped my bounds and agreed on my father's behalf."
When he thought about how this girl could get close to the noble man without saying a word, and how she could let the noble man speak for her, Father Zhou felt that this daughter was unfathomable.
"It is a good rule that family scandals should not be publicized. How can you treat the play between sisters as right and wrong and tell them to a noble person?"
Zhou Yuexue's smile did not change at all, but she shouted that she was wronged:
"It's not because the daughter wants to sue her father. The day before yesterday, Mingzhu broke her head and face. I told you that the face is very precious, but you didn't mean it. You just need to repair it. I have made an appointment with the noble... yesterday. I had to dress up and go see him with the pretense he sent me. He kept asking, and my daughter had no choice but to tell the truth."
